1.	Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

With its subsidiaries, Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. (“PCS”) — together known as “PotashCorp” or “the company” except to the extent the context otherwise requires — forms an integrated fertilizer and related industrial and feed products company.

The company previously prepared its financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“Canadian GAAP”) as set out in the Handbook of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (“CICA Handbook”). In 2010, the CICA Handbook was revised to incorporate International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and required publicly accountable enterprises to apply such standards effective for years beginning on or after January 1, 2011, with early adoption permitted. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are based on IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). In these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the term “Canadian GAAP” refers to Canadian GAAP before the company’s adoption of IFRS.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”, and IFRS 1, “First-Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards” (“IFRS 1”). Subject to certain transition elections disclosed in Note 13 to the financial statements included in Part I Item 1 of the company’s 2011 First Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the company has consistently applied the same accounting policies throughout all periods presented. Note 13 to the financial statements included in Part I Item 1 of the company’s 2011 First Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q describes the impact of the transition to IFRS on the company’s reported financial position and financial performance, including the nature and effect of significant changes in accounting policies from those used in its Canadian GAAP consolidated financial statements as at January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2010, and for the year ended December 31, 2010. Note 13 describes the impact of the transition to IFRS on the company’s reported financial position and financial performance as at and for the periods ended June 30, 2010. Except as disclosed in Note 12, these policies are consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) in all material respects.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are as of August 5, 2011. The company will ultimately prepare its opening statement of financial position and financial statements for 2010 and 2011 by applying existing IFRS with an effective date of December 31, 2011 or prior. Accordingly, the financial statements for 2010 and 2011 may differ from these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PCS and its wholly owned subsidiaries; however, they do not include all disclosures normally provided in annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the 2010 annual consolidated financial statements. Certain information and note disclosures which are considered material to the understanding of the company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and which are normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS were provided in Part I Item 1, Notes 1 and 13 of the company’s 2011 First Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, along with reconciliations and descriptions of the effect of the transition from Canadian GAAP to IFRS on financial performance and financial position. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly present such information. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the fiscal year.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared under the historical cost convention, except for certain items not carried at historical cost as discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements included in Part I Item 1 of the company’s 2011 First Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The following new standards and amendments or interpretations to existing standards have been published and are mandatory for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2011, or later:

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments

In November 2009, the IASB issued guidance relating to the classification and measurement of financial assets. Under IFRS 9, financial assets will generally be measured initially at fair value plus particular transaction costs, and subsequently at either amortized cost or fair value. In October 2010, the IASB issued additions to IFRS 9 relating to accounting for financial liabilities. Under the new requirements, an entity choosing to measure a financial liability at fair value will present the portion of any change in its fair value due to changes in the entity’s own credit risk in other comprehensive income (“OCI”), rather than within profit or loss. The standard is to be applied retrospectively and is effective for periods commencing on or after January 1, 2013. The company is currently reviewing the standard to determine the potential impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IFRIC 14, Prepayments of a Minimum Funding Requirement

In November 2009, the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) issued amendments to IFRIC 14 relating to the prepayments of a minimum funding requirement for an employee defined benefit plan. The amendments apply when an entity is subject to minimum funding requirements and makes an early payment of contributions to cover those requirements. The amendments permit such an entity to treat the benefit of such an early payment as an asset. The amendment must be applied from the beginning of the first comparative period presented in the first financial statements in which the amendment is applied and is effective for periods commencing on or after January 1, 2011. The company has applied these amendments, which had no effect on these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures

In May 2010, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 7 as part of its annual improvements process. The amendments addressed various requirements relating to the disclosure of financial instruments and are effective for annual periods commencing on or after January 1, 2011.

Amendments to IFRS 7, Disclosures — Transfers of Financial Assets

In October 2010, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 7, “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”. The amendments require entities to provide additional disclosures to assist users of financial statements in evaluating the risk exposures relating to transfers of financial assets that are not derecognized or for which the entity has a continuing involvement in the transferred asset. As the company does not typically retain any continuing involvement in financial assets once transferred, these amendments are not expected to have a significant impact. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2011.

IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements

In May 2011, the IASB issued guidance establishing principles for the presentation and preparation of consolidated financial statements when an entity controls one or more other entities. IFRS 10 (which supersedes IAS 27 and Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) 12) builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as the determining factor in whether an entity should be included within the consolidated financial statements of the parent company. The standard provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess. The standard is to be applied retrospectively, in most circumstances, and is effective for annual periods commencing on or after January 1, 2013, with earlier application permitted. The company is currently reviewing the standard to determine the potential impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements

In May 2011, the IASB issued guidance establishing principles for financial reporting by parties to a joint arrangement. IFRS 11 (which supersedes IAS 31 and SIC 13) requires a party to a joint arrangement to determine the type of joint arrangement in which it is involved, either a joint operation or a joint venture, by assessing its rights and obligations arising from the arrangement. The existing policy choice of proportionate consolidation for jointly controlled entities has been eliminated and under IFRS 11, equity accounting is mandatory for participants in joint ventures. The standard is to be applied prospectively and is effective for annual periods commencing on or after January 1, 2013, with earlier application permitted. The company is currently reviewing the standard to determine the potential impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.

7 PotashCorp 2011 Second Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q

IFRS 12, Disclosure of Interest in Other Entities

In May 2011, the IASB issued guidance relating to the disclosure requirements of interests in other entities. IFRS 12 is a new and comprehensive standard on disclosure requirements for all forms of interest in other entities, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. The standard is to be applied prospectively and is effective for annual periods commencing on or after January 1, 2013, with earlier application permitted. The company is currently reviewing the standard to determine the potential impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement

In May 2011, the IASB issued guidance establishing a single source for fair value measurement. IFRS 13 defines fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and introduces consistent requirements for disclosures on fair value measurements. It does not determine when an asset, a liability or an entity’s own equity instrument is measured at fair value. Rather, the measurement and disclosure requirements of IFRS 13 apply when another IFRS requires or permits the item to be measured at fair value, with limited exceptions. The standard is to be applied prospectively and is effective for annual periods commencing on or after January 1, 2013, with earlier application permitted. The company is currently reviewing the standard to determine the potential impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements

In June 2011, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 requiring items within OCI that may be reclassified to the profit or loss section of the income statement to be grouped together. The amendments are to be applied retrospectively and are effective for annual periods commencing on or after July 1, 2012, with earlier application permitted. The company is currently reviewing these amendments to determine the potential impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 19, Employee Benefits

In June 2011, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 19 relating to the recognition and measurement of post-employment defined benefit expense and termination benefits, and to the disclosures for all employee benefits. The amendments are to be applied retrospectively, except for changes to the carrying value of assets that include capitalized employee benefit costs, which are to be applied prospectively. The amendments are effective for annual periods commencing on or after January 1, 2013, with earlier application permitted. The company is currently reviewing these amendments to determine the potential impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.

The company’s operating segments have been determined based on reports reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer, the company’s chief operating decision maker, that are used to make strategic decisions. The company has three reportable operating segments: potash, phosphate and nitrogen. These operating segments are differentiated by the chemical nutrient contained in the product that each produces. Inter-segment sales are made under terms that approximate market value. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1.

6.	Share-Based Compensation

On May 12, 2011, the company’s shareholders approved the 2011 Performance Option Plan under which the company may, after February 22, 2011 and before January 1, 2012, issue options to acquire up to 3,000,000 common shares. Under the plan, the exercise price shall not be less than the quoted market closing price of the company’s common shares on the last trading day immediately preceding the date of the grant, and an option’s maximum term is 10 years. In general, options will vest, if at all, according to a schedule based on the three-year average excess of the company’s consolidated cash flow return on investment over weighted average cost of capital. As of June 30, 2011, options to purchase a total of 1,144,100 common shares had been granted under the plan. The weighted average fair value of options granted was $23.64 per share, estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:


Expected dividend	$	0.28
Expected volatility		52%
Risk-free interest rate		2.29%
Expected life of options		5.5 years


7.	Income Taxes

A separate estimated average annual effective tax rate is determined for each taxing jurisdiction and applied individually to the interim period pre-tax income of each jurisdiction.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, the company’s income tax expense was $297 (2010 — $165). For the six months ended June 30, 2011, its income tax expense was $540 (2010 — $356). The actual effective tax rate including discrete items for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was 26 percent (2010 — 26 percent and 28 percent, respectively). Total discrete tax adjustments that impacted the rate in the three months ended June 30, 2011 resulted in an income tax recovery of $1 compared to an income tax expense of $14 in the same period last year. Total discrete tax adjustments that impacted the rate in the six months ended June 30, 2011 resulted in an income tax recovery of $24 compared to an income tax expense of $25 in the same period last year. Significant items recorded included the following:


•	In first-quarter 2011, a current tax recovery of $21 for previously paid withholding taxes;

•	To adjust the 2009 income tax provision to the income tax return filed, a current income tax expense of $18 was recorded in first-quarter 2010 along with a current income tax expense of $20 and a deferred income tax recovery of $11 in second-quarter 2010;

•	In first-quarter 2010, a current tax recovery of $10 for an anticipated refund of taxes paid related to forward exchange contracts.

Total income tax liabilities		$	(1,229	)	$	(1,046	)


8.	Net Income per Share

Basic net income per share for the quarter is calculated on the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2011 of 854,997,000 (2010 — 889,128,000). Basic net income per share for the six months ended June 30, 2011 is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding for the period of 854,518,000 (2010 — 888,744,000).

Diluted net income per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding during the period. The denominator is: (1) increased by the total of the additional common shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of all stock options with exercise prices at or below the average market price for the period; and (2) decreased by the number of shares that the company could have repurchased if it had used the assumed proceeds from the exercise of stock options to repurchase them on the open market at the average share price for the period. For performance-based stock option plans, the number of contingently issuable common shares included in the calculation is based on the number of shares, if any, that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the performance period and the effect is dilutive. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the diluted net income per share calculation for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was 876,527,000 (2010 — 913,387,000) and for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was 876,612,000 (2010 — 913,785,000).

Excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share were weighted average options outstanding of 1,417,350 relating to the 2008 Performance Option Plan, as the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of common shares for the period.


9.	Seasonality

The company’s sales of fertilizer can be 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.	Contingencies

Canpotex

PCS is a shareholder in Canpotex Limited (“Canpotex”), which markets potash offshore. Should any operating losses or other liabilities be incurred by Canpotex, the shareholders have contractually agreed to reimburse it for such losses or liabilities in proportion to their productive capacity. Through June 30, 2011, there were no such operating losses or other liabilities.

Mining Risk

As is typical with other companies in the industry, the company is unable to acquire insurance for underground assets.

Legal and Other Matters

Significant environmental site assessment and/or remediation matters of note include the following:

•

The company, along with other parties, has been notified by the US Environmental Protection Agency (“USEPA”) of potential liability under the US Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”) with respect to certain soil and groundwater conditions at a site in Lakeland, Florida that includes a former PCS Joint Venture fertilizer blending facility and certain surrounding properties. A Record of Decision (“ROD”) was issued in September 2007 and provides for a remedy

11 PotashCorp 2011 Second Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q


	that requires excavation of impacted soils and interim treatment of groundwater. The total remedy cost is estimated in the ROD to be $9. In September 2010, the USEPA approved the Remedial Design Report to address the soil contamination. While subject to final construction inspection by the USEPA, the soil remediation has been performed.


•	The USEPA has identified PCS Nitrogen, Inc. (“PCS Nitrogen”) as a potentially responsible party with respect to a former fertilizer blending operation in Charleston, South Carolina known as the Planters Property or Columbia Nitrogen site, formerly owned by a company from which PCS Nitrogen acquired certain other assets. The USEPA has requested reimbursement of $3 of previously incurred response costs and the performance or financing of future site investigation and response activities from PCS Nitrogen and other named potentially responsible parties. In September 2005, Ashley II of Charleston, L.L.C., the current owner of the Planters Property, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina seeking a declaratory judgment that PCS Nitrogen is liable to pay environmental response costs that Ashley II of Charleston, L.L.C. alleges it has incurred and will incur in connection with response activities at the site. After the Phase II trial, the district court allocated 30 percent of the liability for response costs at the site to PCS Nitrogen, as well as a proportional share of any costs that cannot be recovered from another responsible party. PCS Nitrogen and other responsible parties filed motions for amendment of the decision, and the Court ruled on those motions in May 2011. The Court’s amended judgment did not alter the 30 percent allocation of liability to PCS but did award relief to PCS under a contractual indemnification claim. PCS and another responsible party have since submitted post-judgment motions to the Court, which are pending, and PCS filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. The notice of appeal was subsequently stayed by the Fourth Circuit pending resolution of the post-judgment motions. The ultimate amount of liability for PCS Nitrogen, if any, depends upon the amount needed for remedial activities, the ability of other parties to pay and the availability of insurance.

•	PCS Phosphate has agreed to participate, on a non-joint and several basis, with parties to an Administrative Settlement Agreement with the USEPA (“Settling Parties”) in the performance of a removal action and the payment of certain other costs associated with PCB soil contamination at the Ward Superfund Site in Raleigh, North Carolina (“Site”), including reimbursement of the USEPA’s past costs. The removal activities commenced at the Site in August 2007. The cost of performing the removal action at the Site is estimated at $75. The Settling Parties have initiated CERCLA contribution litigation against PCS Phosphate and more than 100 other entities. PCS Phosphate filed crossclaims and counterclaims seeking cost recovery. In addition to the removal action at the Site, investigation of sediments downstream of the Site in what is called “Operable Unit 1” has occurred. In September 2008, the USEPA issued a final remedy for Operable Unit 1, with an estimated cost of $6. In response to a special notice letter from the USEPA, PCS Phosphate and the Settling Parties made a good-faith offer to perform and/or pay for certain actions described in the special notice letter. At this time, the company is unable to evaluate the extent of any exposure that it may have for the matters addressed in the special notice letter.

•	Pursuant to the 1996 Corrective Action Consent Order (the “Order”) executed between PCS Nitrogen Fertilizer, L.P., formerly known as Arcadian Fertilizer, L.P. (“PCS Nitrogen Fertilizer”) and Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Environmental Protection Division (“GEPD”) in conjunction with PCS Nitrogen Fertilizer’s purchase of real property located in Augusta, Georgia from the entity from which PCS Nitrogen Fertilizer previously leased such property, PCS Nitrogen Fertilizer agreed to perform certain activities to investigate and, if necessary, perform a corrective action for substances in soil and groundwater. The investigation has proceeded and various corrective measures for substances in groundwater have been proposed to GEPD. PCS Nitrogen Fertilizer expects that it will implement corrective measures for substances in groundwater, but until GEPD approves the investigation results and a final corrective action plan, PCS Nitrogen Fertilizer is unable to estimate with reasonable certainty the total cost of its corrective action obligations under the Order.

•	In December 2009, during a routine inspection of a gypsum stack at the White Springs, Florida facility, a sinkhole was discovered that resulted in the loss of approximately 82 million gallons of water from the stack. The company is sampling production and monitoring wells on its property and drinking water wells on neighboring property to assess impacts. The company incurred costs of $17 to address the sinkhole between the time of discovery and June 30, 2011. In December 2010, the company entered into a consent order with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection pursuant to which the company agreed to, among other things, remediate the sinkhole and perform additional monitoring of the groundwater quality and hydrogeologic conditions related to the sinkhole collapse. The company also entered into an order on consent with the USEPA. In May 2011, the USEPA and the Board of Directors approved the company’s proposal to implement certain mitigation measures to meet the goals of the USEPA order on consent. The company remeasured the asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) for the White Springs gypsum stacks to account for the measures identified in the proposal. This remeasurement resulted in a $39 adjustment to the ARO, of which $33 was capitalized as an addition to the related long-lived asset and $6 was expensed in the first quarter of 2011.

PotashCorp 2011 Second Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 12

The company is also engaged in ongoing site assessment and/or remediation activities at a number of other facilities and sites. Based on current information, it does not believe that its future obligations with respect to these facilities and sites are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Other significant matters of note include the following:


•	The USEPA has an ongoing initiative to evaluate implementation within the phosphate industry of a particular exemption for mineral processing wastes under the hazardous waste program. In connection with this industry-wide initiative, the USEPA conducted inspections at numerous phosphate operations and notified the company of various alleged violations of the US Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) at its plants in Aurora, North Carolina; Geismar, Louisiana; and White Springs, Florida. The company has entered into RCRA 3013 Administrative Orders on Consent and has performed certain site assessment activities at all three plants. At this time, the company does not know the scope of corrective action, if any, that may be required. The company continues to participate in settlement discussions with the USEPA but is uncertain if any resolution will be possible without litigation, or, if litigation occurs, what the outcome would be. At this time, the company is unable to evaluate the extent of any exposure that it may have in these matters.

•	The USEPA has also begun an initiative to evaluate compliance with the Clean Air Act at sulfuric acid and nitric acid plants. In connection with this industry-wide initiative, the USEPA has sent requests for information to numerous facilities, including the company’s plants in Augusta, Georgia; Aurora, North Carolina; Geismar, Louisiana; Lima, Ohio; and White Springs, Florida. The USEPA has notified the company of various alleged violations of the Clean Air Act at its Geismar, Louisiana plant. The government has demanded process changes and penalties that would cost a total of approximately $27, but the company denies that it has any liability for the Geismar, Louisiana matter. Although the company is proceeding with planning and permitting for the process changes demanded by the government, the company is uncertain if any resolution will be possible without litigation, or, if litigation occurs, what the outcome would be. In July 2010, without alleging any specific violation of the Clean Air Act, the USEPA requested that the company meet and demonstrate compliance with the Clean Air Act for specified projects undertaken at the White Springs, Florida sulfuric acid plants. The company participated in such meeting but, at this time, is unable to evaluate if it has any exposure.

•	Significant portions of the company’s phosphate reserves in Aurora, North Carolina are located in wetlands. Under the Clean Water Act, the company must obtain a permit from the US Army Corps of Engineers (the “Corps”) before mining in the wetlands. In January 2009, the Division of Water Quality of the North Carolina Department of Natural Resources issued a certification under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act that mining of phosphate in excess of 30 years from lands owned or controlled by the company, including some wetlands, would not degrade water quality. Thereafter, in June 2009, the Corps issued the company a permit that will allow the company to mine the phosphate deposits identified in the Section 401 certification. The USEPA decided not to seek additional review of the permit. In March 2009, four environmental organizations (Pamlico-Tar River Foundation, North Carolina Coastal Federation, Environmental Defense Fund and Sierra Club) filed a Petition for a Contested Case Hearing before the North Carolina Office of Administrative Hearings (“OAH”) challenging the Section 401 certification. The company has intervened in this proceeding. Cross motions for summary judgment by the Petitioners and the company have been filed, briefed and argued. The OAH has not issued a decision on them. At this time, the company is unable to evaluate the extent of any exposure that it may have in this matter.

•	In May 2009, the Canadian government announced that its new industrial greenhouse gas emissions policies will be coordinated with policies that may be implemented in the US. The Province of Saskatchewan is considering the adoption of greenhouse gas emission control requirements. Regulations pursuant to the Management and Reduction of Greenhouse Gases Act in Saskatchewan, which impose a type of carbon tax to achieve a goal of a 20 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 compared to 2006 levels, may become effective in 2012. There is no certainty as to the scope or timing of any final, effective provincial requirements. Although the US Congress has not passed any greenhouse gas emission control laws, the USEPA has adopted several rules to control greenhouse gas emissions using authority under existing environmental laws. In January 2011, the USEPA began phasing in requirements for all “stationary sources,” such as the company’s plants, to obtain permits incorporating the “best available control technology” for greenhouse gas emissions at a source if it is a new source that could emit 100,000 tons of greenhouse gases per year or if it is a modified source that increases such emissions by 75,000 tons per year. The company is not currently aware of any projects at its facilities that would be subject to these requirements. The company is monitoring these developments, and, except as indicated above, their effect on its operations cannot be determined with certainty at this time.

•	In December 2010, the USEPA issued a final rule to restrict nutrient concentrations in surface waters in Florida to levels below those currently permitted at the company’s White Springs, Florida plant. The revised nutrient criteria will become part of Florida’s water quality standards in March 2012. Projected capital costs resulting from the rule could be in excess of $100 for the company’s White Springs, Florida plant, and there is no guarantee that controls can be implemented that are capable of achieving compliance with the revised nutrient standards under all flow conditions. This estimate assumes that the rule survives court challenges and that none of the site-specific mechanisms for relief from the revised nutrient criteria are available to the White Springs, Florida plant. Various judicial challenges to the rule have been filed, including one lawsuit by The Fertilizer Institute (“TFI”) and White Springs. On June 15, 2011, TFI, White Springs and additional parties filed a Motion for Summary Judgment seeking, among other things, to vacate the USEPA rule. The prospects for a rule to be implemented as issued by the USEPA and the availability of the site-specific mechanisms are uncertain.

•	The company, having been unable to agree with Mosaic Potash Esterhazy Limited Partnership (“Mosaic”) on the remaining amount of potash that the company is entitled to receive from Mosaic pursuant to the mining and processing agreement in respect of the company’s rights at the Esterhazy mine, issued a Statement of Claim in the Saskatchewan Court of Queen’s Bench (“Court”) against Mosaic on May 27, 2009 and the claim was amended on January 19, 2010. In the Amended Statement of Claim, the company has asserted that it has the right under the mining and processing agreement to receive potash from Mosaic until at least 2012 and potentially much later, and seeks an order from the Court declaring the amount of potash which the company has the right to receive. Mosaic, in its Statement of Defence, asserts that at a delivery rate of 1.24 million tons of product per year, the company’s entitlement to receive potash under the mining and processing agreement would terminate August 30, 2010.

In addition, at the time of filing its Statement of Defence, Mosaic commenced a counterclaim against the company, asserting that the company has breached the mining and processing agreement due to its refusal to take delivery of potash product under the agreement based on an event of force majeure.

The company was notified on May 2, 2011 that Mosaic believes that it has satisfied its obligation to produce potash at the Esterhazy mine for the company under the mining and processing agreement and as such it has no further obligation to deliver potash to the company from the Esterhazy mine, other than the company’s remaining inventory. The company disagreed and sought relief from the Court. On June 30, 2011, an injunction order was issued by the Court requiring delivery pursuant to the terms of the mining and processing agreement pending trial or a further order of the Court (“Injunction Order”). The trial is currently scheduled to commence in January 2012. Like every applicant for injunctive relief, the company was required to provide an undertaking to pay any damages that may be occasioned to Mosaic as a result of the granting of the injunction should it later be shown that Mosaic had, by reason of the injunction, sustained any damages which the company ought to pay. The company does not believe that Mosaic will be entitled to any damages arising from the issuance of the Injunction Order. On July 18, 2011, Mosaic filed a Notice of Appeal with the Court of Appeal for Saskatchewan appealing the Injunction Order and seeking to set it aside.

The company will continue to assert its position in this litigation vigorously and it denies liability to Mosaic in connection with its counterclaim.

•

Between September and October 2008, the company and PCS Sales (USA), Inc. were named as defendants in eight similar antitrust complaints filed in US federal courts. Other potash producers are also defendants in these cases. Each of the separate complaints alleges conspiracy to fix potash prices, to divide markets, to restrict supply and to fraudulently conceal the conspiracy, all in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act. The company and PCS Sales (USA), Inc. believe each of these eight private antitrust lawsuits is without merit and intend to defend them vigorously.

In addition, various other claims and lawsuits are pending against the company in the ordinary course of business. While it is not possible to determine the ultimate outcome of such actions at this time, and inherent uncertainties exist in predicting such outcomes, it is the company’s belief that the ultimate resolution of such actions is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The breadth of the company’s operations and the global complexity of tax regulations require assessments of uncertainties and judgments in estimating the taxes it will ultimately pay. The final taxes paid are dependent upon many factors, including negotiations with taxing authorities in various jurisdictions, outcomes of tax litigation and resolution of disputes arising from federal, provincial, state and local tax audits. The resolution of these uncertainties and the associated final taxes may result in adjustments to the company’s tax assets and tax liabilities.

The company owns facilities that have been either permanently or indefinitely shut down. It expects to incur nominal annual expenditures for site security and other maintenance costs at certain of these facilities. Should the facilities be dismantled, certain other shutdown-related costs may be incurred. Such costs are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations and would be recognized and recorded in the period in which they are incurred.

11.	Related Party Transactions

The company sells potash from its Saskatchewan mines for use outside of North America exclusively to Canpotex, a potash export, sales and marketing company owned in equal shares by the three potash producers in the Province of Saskatchewan. Sales to Canpotex for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were $559 (2010 — $323) and six months ended June 30, 2011 were $1,040 (2010 — $591). At June 30, 2011, $358 (December 31, 2010 — $298) was owing from Canpotex. Sales to Canpotex are at prevailing market prices and account balances resulting from the Canpotex transactions are settled on normal trade terms.


12.	Reconciliation of IFRS and US GAAP

IFRS vary in certain significant respects from US GAAP. As required by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the effect of these principal differences on the company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements is described and quantified below.

(a) Inventories: Under IFRS, when the circumstances that previously caused inventories to be written down below cost no longer exist or when there is clear evidence of an increase in net realizable value because of changed economic circumstances, the amount of the writedown is reversed. The reversal is limited to the amount of the original writedown. Under US GAAP, the reversal of a writedown is not permitted unless the reversal relates to a writedown recorded in a prior interim period during the same fiscal year.

Under IFRS, interim price, efficiency, spending and volume variances of a manufacturing entity are recognized in income at interim reporting dates to the same extent that those variances are recognized in income at year-end. Deferral of variances that are expected to be absorbed by year-end is not appropriate because such deferrals could result in reporting inventory at the interim date at more or less than its portion of the actual cost of manufacture. Under US GAAP, variances that are planned and expected to be absorbed by the end of the year are ordinarily deferred at the end of an interim period.

(b) Long-term investments: Certain of the company’s investments in international entities are accounted for under the equity method. Accounting principles generally accepted in those foreign jurisdictions may vary in certain respects from US GAAP. The company’s share of earnings of these equity-accounted investees under IFRS has been adjusted for the significant effects of conforming to US GAAP.

(c) Property, plant and equipment: The net book value of property, plant and equipment under IFRS differs from that under US GAAP in certain respects, including the following:

Major repairs and maintenance, including turnarounds, are capitalized under IFRS and expensed under US GAAP unless costs represent a betterment, in which case capitalization under US GAAP is appropriate.

Borrowing costs under IFRS are capitalized to property, plant and equipment based on the weighted average interest rate on all of the company’s outstanding third-party debt; under US GAAP, only the weighted average interest rate on third-party long-term debt is used to determine the capitalized amount.

(d) Impairment of assets: Upon adopting IFRS, the company elected not to restate past business combinations, which resulted in the carrying amount of goodwill under IFRS being the same amount as it had been under previous Canadian GAAP at the date of transition to IFRS. Because past provisions for asset impairment were based on undiscounted cash flows from use under Canadian GAAP and on fair value under US GAAP, the carrying amount of goodwill is lower under US GAAP.

In respect of oil and gas assets, US GAAP requires that writedowns be based on discounted cash flows, a prescribed discount rate and the unweighted average first-day-of-the-month resource prices for the prior 12 months; IFRS requires discounted cash flows using estimated future resource prices based on the best information available to the company.

Assets, except goodwill, that were previously impaired can be reversed in subsequent periods, under IFRS, if the conditions that led to the original impairment reversed. Reversals of asset impairments are prohibited under US GAAP.

(e) Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization under IFRS differ from that under US GAAP, as a result of differences in the carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment under IFRS and US GAAP, as described above.

(f) Exploration costs: Under IFRS, capitalized exploration costs are classified as exploration and evaluation assets. For US GAAP, these costs are generally expensed until such time as a final feasibility study has confirmed the existence of a commercially mineable deposit.

(g) Pension and other post-retirement benefits: Under US GAAP, the company recognizes the difference between the benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets in the consolidated statements of financial position with the offset to OCI. Amounts in OCI are amortized to net income. Under IFRS, actuarial gains and losses are recognized directly in OCI without ever being amortized to net income. Unrecognized prior service costs are not recognized in OCI, but are amortized to net income over the average remaining vesting period.

(h) Offsetting of certain amounts: US GAAP requires an entity to adopt a policy of either offsetting or not offsetting fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments and for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral against fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting arrangement. The company adopted a policy to offset such amounts. Under IFRS, offsetting of the margin deposits is not permitted.

(i) Share-based compensation: Under IFRS, stock options are recognized over the service period, which for PotashCorp is established by the option performance period. Under US GAAP, stock options are recognized over the requisite service period, which does not commence until the option plan is approved by the company’s shareholders and options are granted thereunder.


Performance	Service Period Commenced
Option Plan Year	IFRS		US GAAP
2008		January 1, 2008		May 8, 2008
2009		January 1, 2009		May 7, 2009
2010		January 1, 2010		May 6, 2010
2011		January 1, 2011		May 12, 2011

This difference impacts the share-based compensation cost recorded and may impact diluted earnings per share.

Further, under IFRS the company recognized an estimate of compensation cost in relation to performance options for which service commenced but which had not yet been granted. Specifically, an estimate of compensation cost was recognized at the end of the first quarter of 2011 in relation to the 2011 Performance Option Plan, which was approved by the company’s shareholders at the company’s annual meeting held on May 12, 2011, for which service commenced but for which performance options had not yet been granted. The compensation cost recognized was reconciled in the second quarter once options were granted. Under US GAAP, no compensation cost is recognized until the option plans are approved.

(j) Stripping costs: Under IFRS, the company capitalizes and amortizes costs associated with the activity of removing overburden and other mine waste minerals in the production phase. US GAAP requires such stripping costs to be attributed to ore produced in that period as a component of inventory and recognized in cost of sales in the same period as related revenue.

(k) Provisions: Asset retirement obligations under IFRS are measured and remeasured each reporting period using a current risk-free discount rate. Under US GAAP, the obligation is initially measured using a credit-adjusted risk-free discount rate. Subsequent upward revisions are measured using the current discount rate while downward revisions are valued using the historical discount rate. Under IFRS, obligations incurred through the production of inventory are included in the cost of that inventory. Under US GAAP, obligations incurred through the production of inventory are added to the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset or charged to expense as incurred. Under IFRS, provisions for asset retirement obligations include constructive obligations. Under US GAAP, only legal obligations are recognized.

Under IFRS, a provision is recognized for either a legal or constructive obligation when the applicable criteria are otherwise met. Under US GAAP, constructive obligations are recognized only when required under a specific standard.

(l) Income taxes related to the above adjustments: The income tax adjustment reflects the impact on income taxes of the US GAAP adjustments described above. Accounting for income taxes under IFRS and US GAAP is similar, except that income tax rates of enacted or substantively enacted tax law must be used to calculate deferred income tax assets and liabilities under IFRS, whereas only income tax rates of enacted tax law can be used under US GAAP.

(m) Income taxes related to US GAAP effective income tax rate: As it relates to interim periods, under IFRS a separate estimated average annual effective income tax rate is determined for each taxing jurisdiction and applied individually to the interim period pre-tax income of each jurisdiction, whereas under US GAAP a weighted average of the annual rates expected across all jurisdictions is applied.

(n) Income tax consequences of share-based employee compensation: Under IFRS, the income tax benefit attributable to share-based compensation that is deductible in computing taxable income but is not recorded in the consolidated financial statements as an expense of any period includes the amount realized in the period (the “realized excess benefit”), as well as the amount of future tax deductions that the company expects to receive based on the current market price of the shares (the “unrealized excess benefit”). The unrealized excess benefit is recognized as a deferred income tax asset with the offset recorded in contributed surplus. Under US GAAP, only the realized excess benefit is recorded, in additional paid-in capital.

Under IFRS, the income tax benefit associated with share-based compensation that is recorded in the consolidated financial statements as an expense in the current or previous period is reviewed at each statement of financial position date and amended to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. Under US GAAP, this income tax benefit is calculated without estimating the income tax effects of anticipated share-based payment transactions.

PotashCorp 2011 Second Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 16

(o) Uncertain income tax positions: US GAAP prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its consolidated financial statements uncertain income tax positions that it has taken or expects to take on a tax return (including a decision whether to file or not to file a return in a particular jurisdiction). IFRS have no similar requirements related to uncertain income tax positions. The company accounts for uncertain income tax positions under IFRS using the standards applicable to current income tax assets and liabilities, i.e., both liabilities and assets are recorded when probable at the company’s best estimate of the amount.

(p) Income taxes related to intragroup transactions: Under IFRS, unrealized profits resulting from intragroup transactions are eliminated from the carrying amount of assets, but no equivalent adjustment is made for tax purposes. The difference between the tax rates of the two entities will result in an impact on net income. This differs from US GAAP, where the current tax payable in relation to such profits is recorded as a current asset until the transaction is realized by the group.

(q) Classification of deferred income taxes: Under IFRS, deferred income taxes are classified as long-term. Under US GAAP, deferred income taxes are separated between current and long-term on the consolidated statements of financial position.

(r) Cash flow statements: US GAAP requires the disclosure of income taxes paid. IFRS require the disclosure of income tax cash flows, which would include any income taxes recovered during the period. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, income taxes paid under US GAAP were $163 (2010 — $49) and for the six months ended June 30, 2011, income taxes paid under US GAAP were $358 (2010 — $71). Under IFRS, interest paid is not reduced for the effects of capitalized interest whereas under US GAAP this amount is net of capitalized interest. Interest paid under US GAAP for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $69 (2010 — $30) and for the six months ended June 30, 2011, interest paid under US GAAP was $91 (2010 — $54).

Financial Instruments and Related Risk Management

Financial Risks

The company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial risks from its use of financial instruments: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The source of risk exposure and how each is managed is described in Note 25 to the consolidated financial statements in the company’s 2010 Financial Review Annual Report.

Credit Risk

The company is exposed to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents, receivables and derivative instrument assets. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of the financial assets.

The company sells potash from its Saskatchewan mines for use outside Canada and the US exclusively to Canpotex. Sales to Canpotex are at prevailing market prices and are settled on normal trade terms. There were no amounts past due or impaired relating to amounts owing to the company from Canpotex.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk arises from the company’s general funding needs and in the management of its assets, liabilities and optimal capital structure. It manages its liquidity risk to maintain sufficient liquid financial resources to fund its operations and meet its commitments and obligations in a cost-effective manner. In managing its liquidity risk, the company has access to a range of funding options.

Certain derivative instruments of the company contain provisions that require its debt to maintain specified credit ratings from two major credit rating agencies. If the company’s debt were to fall below the specified ratings, it would be in violation of these provisions, and the counterparties to the derivative instruments could request immediate payment or demand immediate and ongoing full overnight collateralization on derivative instruments in net liability positions. The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with credit risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position on June 30, 2011 was $238, for which the company has posted collateral of $162 in the normal course of business. If the credit risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements had been triggered on June 30, 2011, the company would have been required to post an additional $73 of collateral to its counterparties.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that financial instrument fair values will fluctuate due to changes in market prices. The significant market risks to which the company is exposed are foreign exchange risk and price risk (related to natural gas used in operations).

Foreign Exchange Risk

At June 30, 2011, the company had entered into foreign currency forward contracts to sell US dollars and receive Canadian dollars in the notional amount of $270 (December 31, 2010 — $170) at an average exchange rate of 0.9832 (December 31, 2010 — 1.0170) per US dollar with maturities in 2011. At June 30, 2011, the company had foreign currency swaps to sell US dollars and receive Canadian dollars in the notional amount of $NIL (December 31, 2010 — $69) at an average exchange rate of NIL (December 31, 2010 — 1.0174) per US dollar.

Price Risk

At June 30, 2011, the company had natural gas derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting in the form of swaps for which it has price risk exposure; derivatives represented a notional amount of 56 million MMBtu with maturities in 2011 through 2019. At December 31, 2010, the notional amount of swaps was 103 million MMBtu with maturities in 2011 through 2019.

21 PotashCorp 2011 Second Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q

Fair Value

Fair value represents point-in-time estimates that may change in subsequent reporting periods due to market conditions or other factors.

Presented below is a comparison of the fair value of each financial instrument to its carrying value.


	June 30, 2011						December 31, 2010

Senior notes		(3,750	)		(3,983	)		(4,350	)		(4,525	)
Other		(7	)		(7	)		(8	)		(8	)

Due to their short-term nature, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, short-term debt, and payables and accrued charges is assumed to approximate carrying value. The fair value of the company’s senior notes at June 30, 2011 reflected the yield valuation based on observed market prices. Yield on senior notes ranged from 0.98 percent to 5.62 percent (December 31, 2010 — 1.08 percent to 5.66 percent). The fair value of the company’s other long-term debt instruments approximated carrying value.

Interest rates used to discount estimated cash flows related to derivative instruments that were not traded in an active market at June 30, 2011 were between 0.35 percent and 4.98 percent (December 31, 2010 — between 0.47 percent and 4.31 percent) depending on the settlement date.

The following table presents the company’s fair value hierarchy for those financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value at June 30, 2011.

For the three months ended June 30, 2011, the company contributed $3 to its defined benefit pension plans, $6 to its defined contribution pension plans and $3 to its other post-retirement plans. Contributions for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $5 to its defined benefit pension plans, $16 to its defined contribution pension plans and $5 to its other post-retirement plans. Total 2011 contributions to these plans are not expected to differ significantly from the amounts previously disclosed in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements in the company’s 2010 Financial Review Annual Report.

Uncertainty in Income Taxes

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, unrecognized income tax adjustments decreased $34 and $35, respectively. It is reasonably possible that a reduction in the range of $31 to $33 of unrecognized income tax adjustments may occur within 12 months as a result of projected resolutions of worldwide income tax disputes.

23 PotashCorp 2011 Second Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q

Guarantees

In the normal course of operations, the company provides indemnifications, which are often standard contractual terms, to counterparties in transactions such as purchase and sale contracts, service agreements, director/officer contracts and leasing transactions. These indemnification agreements may require the company to compensate the counterparties for costs incurred as a result of various events, including environmental liabilities and changes in (or in the interpretation of) laws and regulations, or as a result of litigation claims or statutory sanctions that may be suffered by the counterparty as a consequence of the transaction. The terms of these indemnification agreements will vary based upon the contract, the nature of which prevents the company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount that it could be required to pay to counterparties. Historically, the company has not made any significant payments under such indemnifications and no amounts have been accrued in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements with respect to these indemnification guarantees (apart from any appropriate accruals relating to the underlying potential liabilities).

The company enters into agreements in the normal course of business that may contain features which meet the definition of a guarantee. Various debt obligations (such as overdrafts, lines of credit with counterparties for derivatives and back-to-back loan arrangements) and other commitments (such as railcar leases) related to certain subsidiaries and investees have been directly guaranteed by the company under such agreements with third parties. The company would be required to perform on these guarantees in the event of default by the guaranteed parties. No material loss is anticipated by reason of such agreements and guarantees. At June 30, 2011, the maximum potential amount of future (undiscounted) payments under significant guarantees provided to third parties approximated $558. It is unlikely that these guarantees will be drawn upon, and since the maximum potential amount of future payments does not consider the possibility of recovery under recourse or collateral provisions, this amount is not indicative of future cash requirements or the company’s expected losses from these arrangements. At June 30, 2011, no subsidiary balances subject to guarantees were outstanding in connection with the company’s cash management facilities, and it had no liabilities recorded for other obligations other than subsidiary bank borrowings of approximately $6.

The company has guaranteed the gypsum stack capping, closure and post-closure obligations of White Springs and PCS Nitrogen in Florida and Louisiana, respectively, pursuant to the financial assurance regulatory requirements in those states. In addition, it has guaranteed the performance of certain remediation obligations of PCS Joint Venture and PCS Nitrogen at the Lakeland, Florida and Augusta, Georgia sites, respectively. The USEPA has announced that it plans to adopt rules requiring financial assurance from a variety of mining operations, including phosphate rock mining. It is too early in the rulemaking process to determine what the impact, if any, on the company’s facilities will be when these rules are issued.

The environmental regulations of the Province of Saskatchewan require each potash mine to have decommissioning and reclamation plans, along with financial assurances for these plans, approved by the responsible provincial minister. The Minister of the Environment for Saskatchewan (“MOE”) has approved the plans previously submitted by the company. The company had previously provided a CDN $2 irrevocable letter of credit and a payment of CDN $3 into the agreed-upon trust fund. Under the regulations, the decommissioning and reclamation plans and financial assurances are to be reviewed at least once every five years, or as required by the MOE. The next scheduled review for the decommissioning and reclamation plans and financial assurances was to be completed by June 30, 2011. The company submitted its decommissioning and reclamation plans and its financial assurances proposal in May 2011 and is awaiting a response. The MOE has advised that it considers the company in compliance with the regulations until the review is finalized and a response is provided. The MOE had previously indicated that it would be seeking an increase of the amount paid into the trust fund by the company for this submission. Based on current information, the company does not believe that its financial assurance requirements or future obligations with respect to this matter are reasonably likely to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The company has met its financial assurance responsibilities as of June 30, 2011. Costs associated with the retirement of long-lived tangible assets have been accrued in the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements to the extent that a legal or constructive liability to retire such assets exists.

During the period, the company entered into various other commercial letters of credit in the normal course of operations. As at June 30, 2011, $52 of letters of credit were outstanding.

The company expects that it will be able to satisfy all applicable credit support requirements without disrupting normal business operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Fair Value Measurements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amendments to its fair value measurement standard to substantially converge the guidance in US GAAP and IFRS on fair value measurements and disclosures. The amendments will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The company is currently reviewing the impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB amended the standard for Comprehensive Income whereby total comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income can either be presented in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. Regardless of which option is chosen, items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income should be presented on the face of the financial statements. The amendments will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The company is currently reviewing the impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.


13.	Transition to IFRS

The company adopted IFRS on January 1, 2011 with effect from January 1, 2010. Its financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2011 will be the first annual consolidated financial statements that comply with IFRS. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared as described in Note 1, including the application of IFRS 1. Accordingly, the company will make an unreserved statement of compliance with IFRS beginning with its 2011 annual consolidated financial statements.

Changes in Accounting Policies

The key areas where the company has identified that accounting policies will differ or where accounting policy decisions were necessary that may impact its consolidated financial statements and the impact of transition policy choices made under IFRS 1 are described in Note 13 to financial statements in Part I Item 1 of the company’s 2011 First Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following table outlines some of these key areas related to the reconciliations from Canadian GAAP to IFRS. Since accounting policies and standards may change in the period between these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and our first annual consolidated financial statements that comply with IFRS, the table below reflects the differences between IFRS and previous Canadian GAAP we expect to apply. See Note 13 to financial statements in Part I Item 1 of the company’s 2011 First Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details.


Accounting
Policy Area			Differences from Previous Canadian GAAP
(a) Employee Benefits			Actuarial gains and losses will be recognized directly in other comprehensive income rather than through profit or loss.
			IAS 19 requires the past service cost element of defined benefit plans to be expensed on an accelerated basis, with vested past service costs expensed immediately and unvested past service costs recognized on a straight-line basis until the benefits become vested. Under Canadian GAAP, past service costs were generally amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of active employees expected under the plan.
			Under Canadian GAAP, certain gains and losses which were unrecognized at the time of adopting the current Canadian accounting standard were permitted to be amortized over a period under transitional provisions of the current standards. Those amounts must be recognized on transition to IFRS.

25 PotashCorp 2011 Second Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q


Accounting
Policy Area			Differences from Previous Canadian GAAP
(b) Provisions (including Asset Retirement Obligations)			IAS 37, “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets”, requires a provision to be recognized when: there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past transaction or event; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and a reliable estimate can be made of the obligation. “Probable” in this context means more likely than not. Under Canadian GAAP, constructive obligations were recognized only if required by a specific standard, and the criterion for recognition in the financial statements was “likely”, which is a higher threshold than “probable”. Therefore, it is possible that there may be some contingent liabilities not recognized under Canadian GAAP which would require a provision under IFRS.
			Other differences between IFRS and Canadian GAAP exist in relation to the measurement of provisions, such as the methodology for determining the best estimate where there is a range of equally possible outcomes (IFRS uses the mid-point of the range whereas Canadian GAAP used the low end), and the requirement under IFRS for provisions to be discounted where material.
			In relation to asset retirement obligations, measurement under IFRS will be based on management’s best estimate, while measurement under Canadian GAAP was based on the fair value of the obligation (which takes market assumptions into account). Under IFRS, the full asset retirement obligation will be remeasured each period using the current discount rate. Under Canadian GAAP, cash flow estimates associated with asset retirement obligations were discounted using historical discount rates. Changes in the discount rate alone did not result in a remeasurement of the liability. Changes in estimates that decreased the liability were discounted using the discount rate applied upon initial recognition of the liability. When changes in estimates increased the liability, the additional liability was discounted using the current discount rate.
			IFRS require the company’s asset retirement obligations to be discounted using a risk-free rate. Under Canadian GAAP, asset retirement obligations were discounted using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate.
			Under IFRS, the increase in the measurement of an asset retirement obligation due to the passage of time (unwinding of the discount) will be classified as a finance expense. Under Canadian GAAP, this amount was classified as an operating expense.

(c) Investments			Under IFRS, jointly controlled entities will be accounted for using the equity method. Under Canadian GAAP, joint ventures were accounted for using proportionate consolidation.
			Certain of the company’s equity-accounted investees adopted IFRS earlier than PotashCorp, resulting in certain IFRS 1 elections being made, particularly related to use of fair value as deemed cost on certain items of property, plant and equipment and related to the use of the business combinations exemption. As a result, the company will recognize its share of such elections as an adjustment to its opening retained earnings and its investments in equity-accounted investees.

(d) Property, Plant and Equipment			Under IFRS, where part of an item of property, plant and equipment has a cost that is significant in relation to the cost of the item as a whole, it must be depreciated separately from the remainder of the item. Canadian GAAP was similar in this respect; however, the componentization concept was not often applied to the same extent due to practicality and/or materiality.
			Under IFRS, the cost of major overhauls on items of property, plant and equipment will be capitalized as a component of the related item of property, plant and equipment and amortized over the period until the next major overhaul. Under Canadian GAAP, these costs were expensed in the year incurred.

(e) Borrowing Costs			Under IFRS, borrowing costs will be capitalized to assets which take a substantial time to develop or construct using a capitalization rate based on the weighted average interest rate on all of the company’s outstanding third-party debt. Under the company’s Canadian GAAP policy, the interest capitalization rate was based only on the weighted average interest rate on third-party long-term debt.

(f) Inventories			Under IFRS, at interim periods, price, efficiency, spending and volume variances of a manufacturing entity will be recognized in income to the same extent that those variances will be recognized in income at financial year-end. Under IFRS, deferral of variances that are expected to be absorbed by year-end is not appropriate because it could result in reporting inventory at the interim date at more or less than its portion of the actual cost of manufacture. Under Canadian GAAP, variances that were planned and expected to be absorbed by the end of the year were ordinarily deferred at the end of an interim period. Net income and equity for annual periods will not be affected.

PotashCorp 2011 Second Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 26


Accounting
Policy Area			Differences from Previous Canadian GAAP
(g) Impairment of Assets			IAS 36, “Impairment of Assets”, uses a one-step approach for both testing for and measurement of impairment, with asset carrying values compared directly with the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use (which uses discounted future cash flows). Canadian GAAP generally used a two-step approach to impairment testing, first comparing asset carrying values with undiscounted future cash flows to determine whether impairment exists, and then measuring any impairment by comparing asset carrying values with fair values. This difference may potentially result in more impairments where carrying values of assets were previously supported under Canadian GAAP on an undiscounted cash flow basis, but could not be supported on a discounted cash flow basis.
			In addition, IAS 36 requires the reversal of any previous impairment losses (to the amounts the assets would now be carried at had depreciation continued) where circumstances have changed such that the impairments have been reduced. Canadian GAAP prohibited reversal of impairment losses.

(h) Share-Based Payments			IFRS 2, “Share-Based Payments”, requires that cash-settled share-based payments to employees be measured (both initially and at each reporting date) based on fair value of the awards. Canadian GAAP required that such payments be measured based on intrinsic value of the awards. This difference is expected to impact the accounting measurement of some of the company’s cash-settled employee incentive plans, such as its performance unit incentive plan.
			IFRS 2 requires an estimate of compensation cost to be recognized in relation to performance options for which service has commenced but which have not yet been granted. The compensation cost recognized would then be trued up once options have been granted. Under Canadian GAAP, compensation cost was first recognized when the options were granted. This will create a timing difference between IFRS and Canadian GAAP in terms of when compensation cost relating to employee service provided in the first quarter of the year is recognized. In relation to stock option costs in 2010, net income will decrease in the first quarter and increase in the second quarter by $13. Net income and equity for annual periods will not be affected.

(i) Income Taxes			Under IFRS, the guidance in IAS 12, “Income Taxes”, will be used to determine the benefit to be received in relation to uncertain tax positions. This differs from the methodology used under Canadian GAAP.
			Under IFRS, deferred tax assets recognized in relation to share-based payment arrangements (for example, the company’s employee stock option plan in the US) will be adjusted each period to reflect the amount of future tax deductions that the company expects to receive in excess of stock-based compensation recorded in the consolidated financial statements based on the current market price of the shares. The benefit of such amounts will be recognized in contributed surplus and never impacts net income. Under the company’s Canadian GAAP policy, tax deductions for its employee stock option plan in the US were recognized as reductions to tax expense, within net income, in the period that the deduction was allowed.
			Under IFRS, deferred tax assets associated with share-based compensation recorded in the consolidated financial statements as an expense in the current or previous period should be reviewed at each statement of financial position date and amended to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized. Under Canadian GAAP, this income tax benefit was calculated without estimating the income tax effects of anticipated share-based payment transactions.
			Under IFRS, adjustments relating to a change in tax rates will be recognized in the same category of comprehensive income in which the original amounts were recognized. Under Canadian GAAP, such adjustments were recognized in net income, regardless of the category in which the original amounts were recognized. In addition, foreign exchange gains on deferred income tax liabilities would be recorded in other comprehensive income under IFRS, but were recorded in net income under Canadian GAAP.
			Under IFRS, deferred income taxes will be classified as long-term. Under Canadian GAAP, future income taxes were separated between current and long-term on the statement of financial position.
			Under IFRS, unrealized profits resulting from intragroup transactions will be eliminated from the carrying amount of assets, but no equivalent adjustment will be made for tax purposes. The difference between the tax rates of the two entities will impact net income. This differs from Canadian GAAP, where the current tax payable in relation to such profits was recorded as a current asset until the transaction was realized by the group.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis are the responsibility of management and are as of August 5, 2011. The Board of Directors carries out its responsibility for review of this disclosure principally through its audit committee, comprised exclusively of independent directors. The audit committee reviews and, prior to its publication, approves this disclosure, pursuant to the authority delegated to it by the Board of Directors. The term “PCS” refers to Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. and the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, “PotashCorp” and “the company” refer to PCS and, as applicable, PCS and its direct and indirect subsidiaries as a group. Additional information relating to the company, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K, can be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml. The company is a foreign private issuer under the rules and regulations of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”); however, the company currently files voluntarily on the SEC’s domestic forms.

Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect the adoption of IFRS, with effect from January 1, 2010. Periods prior to January 1, 2010 have not been restated and were in accordance with Canadian GAAP which, as discussed in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, was applied during the periods prior to the effective date of the company’s adoption of IFRS. As a foreign private issuer under the rules and regulations of the SEC, the company is permitted to use IFRS.

Our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I Item 1 of our 2011 First Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain a detailed description of our conversion to IFRS, including a reconciliation of key components of our financial statements previously prepared under Canadian GAAP to those under IFRS as at January 1 and December 31, 2010, and for the year ended December 31, 2010. Note 13 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains a reconciliation of key components of our financial statements previously prepared under Canadian GAAP to those under IFRS as at and for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2010.

Although the adoption of IFRS resulted in adjustments to our financial statements, it did not materially impact the underlying cash flows or profitability trends of our operating performance, debt covenants or compensation arrangements.

PotashCorp and Our Business Environment

PotashCorp is an integrated producer of fertilizer, industrial and animal feed products. We are the world’s largest fertilizer enterprise by capacity, producing the three primary plant nutrients: potash, phosphate and nitrogen. We sell fertilizer to North American retailers, cooperatives and distributors that provide storage and application services to farmers, the end users. Our offshore customers are government agencies and private importers that buy under contract and on the spot market; spot market sales are more prevalent in North America, South America and Southeast Asia. Fertilizers are sold primarily for spring and fall application in both Northern and Southern hemispheres.

Transportation is an important part of the final purchase price for fertilizer so producers usually sell to the closest customers. In North America, we sell mainly on a delivered basis via rail, barge, truck and pipeline. Offshore customers purchase product either at the port where it is loaded or delivered with freight included directly to a specified location.

Potash, phosphate and nitrogen are also used as inputs for the production of animal feed and industrial products. Most feed and industrial sales are by contract and are more evenly distributed throughout the year than fertilizer sales.

PotashCorp Strategy

To provide our stakeholders with long-term value, our strategy focuses on generating growth while striving to minimize fluctuations in an upward-trending earnings line. We apply this strategy by concentrating on our highest margin products. Such analysis dictates our Potash First strategy, focusing our capital — internally and through investments — on our world-class potash assets to meet the rising global demand for this vital nutrient. By investing in potash capacity while producing to meet market demand, we seek to create the opportunity for significant growth while limiting downside risk. We complement our potash operations with focused phosphate and nitrogen businesses that emphasize the production of higher-margin products with stable and sustainable earnings potential.

We strive to enhance our position as supplier of choice to our customers, delivering the highest quality products at market prices when they are needed. We seek to be the preferred supplier to high-volume, high-margin customers with the lowest credit risk. It is critical to our success that our customers recognize our ability to create value for them based on the price they pay for our products.

As we plan for our future, we carefully weigh our choices for use of our cash flow. We base investment decisions on cash flow return materially exceeding cost of capital, evaluating the best prospects for return on investment that match our Potash First strategy. Most of our recent capital expenditures have gone to investments in our own potash capacity, and we look to increase our existing offshore potash investments and seek other merger and acquisition opportunities related to this nutrient. We also consider share repurchases and increased dividends as ways to maximize shareholder value over the long term.

Key Performance Drivers — Performance Compared to Goals

Each year we set targets to advance our long-term goals and drive results. Our long-term goals and 2011 targets are set out on pages 41 and 42 of our 2010 Financial Review Annual Report. A summary of our progress against selected goals and representative annual targets is set out below.


	Representative	Performance
Goal	2011 Annual Target	to June 30, 2011
Achieve no harm to people.	Reduce total site severity injury rate by 35 percent from 2008 levels by the end of 2012.	Total site severity injury rate was 40 percent below the 2008 annual level for the first six months of 2011. It was 58 percent below the 2008 annual level for the first six months of 2010 and 62 percent below the 2008 annual level by the end of 2010.

Achieve no damage to the environment.	Reduce total reportable releases, permit excursions and spills by 10 percent from 2010 levels.	Annualized total reportable releases, permit excursions and spills were down 20 percent during the first six months of 2011 compared to 2010 annual levels. Compared to the first six months of 2010, total reportable releases, permit excursions and spills during the same period of 2011 were down 33 percent.

Create superior long-term shareholder value.	Exceed total shareholder return performance for our sector and the DAXglobal Agribusiness Index for 2011.	PotashCorp’s total shareholder return was 11 percent in the first six months of 2011 compared to our sector’s weighted average return (based on market capitalization) of 1 percent and the DAXglobal Agribusiness Index weighted average return (based on market capitalization) of NIL percent.

Financial Overview

This discussion and analysis are based on the company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reported under IFRS, unless otherwise stated. These principles differ in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These differences are described and quantified in Note 12 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All references to per-share amounts pertain to diluted net income per share.

For an understanding of trends, events, uncertainties and the effect of critical accounting estimates on our results and financial condition, the entire document should be read carefully, together with our 2010 Financial Review Annual Report and our 2011 First Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

31 PotashCorp 2011 Second Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q

Record earnings in the second quarter and first half of 2011 were higher than the same periods of 2010 due to higher sales prices for all nutrients and increased demand for potash, phosphate and ammonia. Attractive economics for goods that use our products continued to increase our customers’ consumption of our products. Strong demand coupled with our low inventories put upward pressure on pricing for most products. Second-quarter potash gross margin represented 68 percent of total second-quarter gross margin (70 percent in 2010) and 68 percent of first six months gross margin (72 percent in 2010). Sales prices for phosphate fertilizer products and all nitrogen products increased significantly during the second quarter and first six months of 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010.

Despite volatility in commodity markets, crop economics remained attractive throughout the second quarter, giving farmers the incentive to improve nutrient applications, which resulted in rising fertilizer demand and pricing. During the quarter, key spot-market potash buyers moved aggressively to secure sufficient volumes to fill immediate needs. With demand putting pressure on global supply capabilities, producers operated at or near record production levels in an attempt to keep pace.

Offshore potash shipments from North American producers for the second quarter were 23 percent higher than in the same period in 2010 and reached a record 5.9 million tonnes for the first half of 2011. This was achieved on the strength of demand in Latin America and spot markets in Asia, which more than offset the absence of India, where there has been no contract since the end of the first quarter of 2011. Despite a late planting season, domestic shipments from North American producers during the quarter rose 39 percent from the same period last year. Combined with a strong first quarter, first-half domestic shipments reached 4.6 million tonnes, similar to totals for the same period last year. By the end of the second quarter, North American producer inventories were reduced to their lowest levels of the year — 26 percent below the average of the last five years. Tightening supply/demand conditions continued to push prices higher in most major markets, including China, which signed new supply commitments late in the second quarter.

In phosphate, second-quarter solid fertilizer shipments from US producers climbed 9 percent from the same quarter last year, buoyed by strong export demand. Following the settlement of six-month commitments with India in late March, exports from US producers rose 19 percent compared to the second quarter of 2010. By the end of June, US solid phosphate producer inventories were 28 percent below the previous five-year average. The combination of strong demand, higher raw material costs and the expectation of lower phosphate exports from China exerted upward pressure on pricing. In nitrogen, demand remained robust, with second-quarter US domestic shipments of ammonia and urea comparable to 2010 levels. US producer inventories for both products tightened in the quarter, pushing up prices for all nitrogen products. After lagging ammonia through the first quarter of 2011, prices for urea moved sharply higher on strong agricultural demand and an expectation of lower urea exports from China. Competitive US gas prices continued to support healthy margins for domestic nitrogen producers.

Other significant factors that affected earnings in the second quarter and first half of 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010 were: (1) higher income taxes due to increased earnings; (2) lower dividend income from Israel Chemicals Ltd. (“ICL”); (3) more earnings from equity-accounted investees; (4) higher selling and administrative expenses due to certain compensation arrangements (quarter over quarter, 2010 results were impacted by a lower share price, while year over year, our share price rose in 2011 but fell in 2010); and (5) increased provincial mining and other taxes as a result of escalating potash sales revenue and profits. Other comprehensive loss for the second quarter of 2011 was due to a decline in the fair value of our investment in ICL. The fair value decline of our investments in ICL and Sinofert Holdings Limited (“Sinofert”) during the first half of 2011 led to other comprehensive loss for that period. In 2010, other comprehensive loss for the second quarter and first half were the result of even larger declines in the fair values of both ICL and Sinofert.

PotashCorp 2011 Second Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 32

Balance Sheet

Property, plant and equipment increased primarily (80 percent) due to our previously announced potash capacity expansions and other potash projects. Available-for-sale investments declined due to the fair value of our investments in ICL and Sinofert falling. Receivables were mainly impacted by higher trade receivables (consistent with higher sales) and partially offset by declines in hedge margin deposits on our natural gas derivatives. As at June 30, 2011, $321 million of our cash and cash equivalents were held in certain foreign subsidiaries. There are no current plans to repatriate these funds in a taxable manner.

Short-term debt decreased in the first half of 2011 as a result of repaying 10-year senior notes in the second quarter and commercial paper repayments exceeding advances. Deferred income tax liabilities increased primarily due to tax depreciation exceeding accounting depreciation.

Significant changes in equity were primarily the result of net income being partially offset by other comprehensive losses for the first six months of 2011, as discussed in more detail above.

Operating Segment Review

Note 5 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements provides information pertaining to our operating segments. Management includes net sales in segment disclosures in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to IFRS, which requires segmentation based upon our internal organization and reporting of revenue and profit measures derived from internal accounting methods. As a component of gross margin, net sales (and the related per-tonne amounts) are the primary revenue measures we use and review in making decisions about operating matters on a business segment basis. These decisions include assessments about potash, phosphate and nitrogen performance and the resources to be allocated to these segments. We also use net sales (and the related per-tonne amounts) for business planning and monthly forecasting. Net sales are calculated as sales revenues less freight, transportation and distribution expenses.

á	Prices continued to move higher as previously announced increases began to be reflected in results, with our average second-quarter realized price climbing $107 and up $50 per tonne from first-quarter 2011.	á á á	Strong sales were due to highly supportive agricultural economics around the world. Canpotex shipments were higher to almost all offshore markets with the exception of India, which did not have a contract in the second quarter of 2011. The strongest demand came from Asian countries (other than China and India) and from Latin America. North American volumes were up on strong farmer demand and a lower comparative figure in the second quarter of 2010 as shipments slowed following record demand in the first quarter of 2010.	á â â â â	No shutdown costs incurred in 2011 (five weeks taken in 2010) as facilities operated at or near their full capabilities. The Canadian dollar strengthened relative to the US dollar. Royalty costs rose due to higher sales prices. Personnel costs higher due to additional staffing. Offshore cost of goods sold negative variance was greater than North America due to relatively high offshore product coming from our higher-cost mines.

The most significant contributors to the change in total gross margin year over year were as follows⁽¹⁾:

⁽¹⁾ Direction of arrows refers to impact on gross margin.


	Net Sales Prices		Sales Volumes		Cost of Goods Sold

á á	Higher average realized prices reflected new pricing levels announced in late 2010 and early 2011 in both offshore and North American spot markets. Canpotex signed an agreement with China for the first half of 2011 at prices approximately $50 per tonne higher than the 2010 China contract.	á á	Record Canpotex shipments to offshore markets were the result of strong demand for potash due to high crop commodity prices and limited customer inventories at the start of the year. Canpotex’s increased shipments to Latin America, Asia (excluding China and India) and China exceeded the decline in sales to India, which did not have a contract in the second quarter of 2011.	á â â á â á â	No shutdown costs incurred in 2011 (18 weeks taken in 2010) as facilities operated at or near their full capabilities. The Canadian dollar strengthened relative to the US dollar. Saskatchewan royalties increased due to higher prices. New Brunswick royalties were lower as inventories sold in 2010 included royalties based on higher 2009 average sales prices. Depreciation costs increased due to higher asset levels associated with our mine expansion activity. North American cost of goods sold variance was positive as a relatively higher percentage of products produced at lower-cost mines, or using lower-cost processes, was sold. Offshore cost of goods sold variance was negative due to more of that product coming from our higher-cost mines as compared to last year.

North American customers generally prefer premium priced granular product over standard product more typically consumed offshore.

The change in market mix produced a favorable variance of $27 million related to sales volumes and an unfavorable variance of $25 million in sales prices due to the majority of lower-priced standard product being sold to the offshore market whereas last year, higher-priced granular sales to North America comprised a larger proportion of total sales.

On July 20, 2011, three new collective agreements were ratified by unions representing employees in Saskatchewan at the Allan, Cory and Patience Lake mines. These collective agreements expire April 30, 2014.

⁽¹⁾ Direction of arrows refers to impact on gross margin.


	Net Sales Prices		Sales Volumes		Cost of Goods Sold

á á á	Realized prices for liquid and solid fertilizers were up as the prices of these products reflected the strength in global demand and the tight supply. Prices for feed products were up, responding less rapidly than fertilizer prices as a result of challenging livestock economics. Industrial prices rose, but not as much as fertilizers, as they are influenced by certain longer-term contracts that lag market conditions.	á á á	Strong agricultural fundamentals drove higher demand for fertilizer products — both liquids and solids — resulting in a larger allocation of sales volumes to these products. Solid products were further supported by increased spot sales. Industrial demand reflected increased US manufacturing activity.	â â	Costs were impacted by higher sulfur costs (up 56 percent). Solid fertilizer costs also reflected higher ammonia costs (up 47 percent).

	Net Sales Prices		Sales Volumes		Cost of Goods Sold

á á	Prices for phosphate products were higher due to strong crop economics, historically low inventories at the start of 2011 and higher input prices. The largest price increases were evident in liquid and solid fertilizers, which rose on strong agricultural fundamentals and higher input costs.	á â	Fertilizer volumes grew as we allocated more production to capitalize on the higher-margin opportunity in these product lines. Demand for feed products was impacted by higher grain prices which increased the use of substitute feed ingredients.	â â â	Costs were impacted by higher sulfur costs (up 62 percent). Solid fertilizer costs also reflected higher ammonia costs (up 35 percent). Fertilizer costs were higher than feed and industrial costs due to a higher allocation of fixed costs (a result of fertilizer production volumes increasing more significantly than volumes for the other products).

	Net Sales Prices		Sales Volumes		Cost of Goods Sold

á	Nitrogen fertilizer prices increased as a result of strong agricultural margins and limited global supplies of ammonia, urea and nitrogen solutions. Prices also continue to be affected by higher production costs in key producing regions.	á â	Strong industrial and agricultural demand for ammonia resulted in a larger share of production being allocated to this higher-margin product. More production being allocated to ammonia limited production of nitrogen downstream products.	â	Average natural gas costs in production, including hedge, increased 30 percent. Natural gas costs in Trinidad production rose 55 percent (contract price indexed, in part, to ammonia prices) while our US spot costs for natural gas used in production increased 6 percent. Including hedge losses, US gas prices increased 1 percent.

Selling and administrative expenses were up quarter over quarter due to increased donations and expenses associated with our medium-term incentive plan and deferred share units (both were primarily impacted by our declining share price in 2010). Year over year, selling and

administrative expenses were impacted by higher accruals for deferred share units and our medium-term incentive plan (our share price increased during the first six months of 2011 and decreased for the same period in 2010) and increased community investments.

Provincial mining and other taxes are comprised mainly of the Saskatchewan Potash Production Tax (“PPT”) and a resource surcharge. The PPT is comprised of a base tax per tonne of product sold and an additional tax based on mine profit, which is reduced by potash capital expenditures. The resource surcharge is a percentage of the value of the company’s Saskatchewan resource sales. The resource surcharge rose as a result of higher potash sales revenues in the second quarter and first half of 2011. The PPT expense in the first six months of 2011 increased as a result of higher potash profitability. There was no PPT in the first six months of 2010 due to lower profitability and loss carryforwards.

Share of earnings of equity-accounted investees, Arab Potash Company Ltd. and Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile S.A., was higher than last year due to increased earnings by these companies. Fewer dividends were received from ICL in 2011 compared to last year when a special dividend was received.

Finance costs were affected by senior notes being issued in the fourth quarter of 2010, the repayment of 10-year senior notes during the second quarter of 2011 and higher average outstanding commercial paper balances in 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010. Weighted average debt obligations outstanding and the associated interest rates were as follows:

Weighted average effective interest rate		4.5%		5.2%		(0.7)%		(14)		4.5%		5.0%		(0.5)%		(10)

Income taxes rose due to increased income before taxes. The effective tax rate including discrete items was 26 percent (no change quarter over quarter) and decreased to 26 percent from 28 percent year over year. The income tax expense for the first half of 2011 was impacted by a current tax recovery of $21 million for previously paid withholding taxes. The income tax expense in the second quarter of 2010 was impacted by a current income tax expense ($20 million) and a deferred income tax recovery ($11 million) to adjust the 2009 income tax provision to income tax returns filed in that quarter. The income tax expense for the first half of 2010 was also impacted by a current tax expense of $18 million to adjust the 2009 income tax provision to the income tax return filed in first-quarter 2010 and a current tax recovery of $10 million for an anticipated refund of taxes paid related to forward exchange contracts. Excluding discrete items, for the first six months of 2011, 75 percent of the effective tax rate pertained to current income taxes and 25 percent related to deferred income taxes. For the first six months of 2010, the split was 76 percent current and 24 percent deferred.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Requirements

Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments

Our contractual obligations and other commitments detailed on pages 55 and 56 of our 2010 Financial Review Annual Report summarize our short- and long-term liquidity and capital resource requirements but exclude obligations with original maturities of less than one year and planned (but not legally committed) capital expenditures. The repayment of $600 million of 10-year senior notes during the second quarter of 2011 reduced the amount of long-term debt obligations as compared to those disclosed in our contractual obligations and other commitments table on page 64 in Part I Item 1 of our 2011 First Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Capital Expenditures

Page 21 of our 2010 Financial Review Annual Report outlines key potash construction projects and their expected cost and capacity expansion/debottlenecking. During 2011, we expect to incur capital expenditures, including capitalized interest, of approximately $1,900 million for opportunity capital, approximately $320 million to sustain operations at existing levels, approximately $110 million for major repairs and maintenance (including plant turnarounds) and approximately $70 million for site improvements.

The most significant potash projects⁽¹⁾ on which funds are expected to be spent in 2011, excluding capitalized interest, are outlined in the table below:


								Forecasted
							Expected Completion⁽²⁾	Remaining Spending
CDN Dollars (millions)	2011 Forecast		Total Forecast		Started		(Description)	(after 2011)
Allan, Saskatchewan	$	260	$	550		2008	2012 (general expansion)	$	50
Cory, Saskatchewan	$	190	$	1,630		2007	2012 (general expansion)	$	50
Picadilly, New Brunswick	$	370	$	1,660		2007	2013 (mine shaft and mill)	$	300
Rocanville, Saskatchewan	$	750	$	2,800		2008	2014 (mine shaft and mill)	$	1,230


⁽¹⁾	The expansion at each of these projects is discussed in the technical report for such project filed on SEDAR in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

⁽²⁾	Excludes ramp-up time. We expect these projects will be fully ramped up by the end of 2015, provided market conditions warrant.

We anticipate that all capital spending will be financed by internally generated cash flows supplemented, if and as necessary, by borrowing from existing financing sources.

Sources and Uses of Cash

The company’s cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as reflected in the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow, are summarized in the following table:


	Three Months Ended June 30												Six Months Ended June 30
Dollars (millions)	2011			2010			Change			% Change			2011			2010			Change			% Change
Cash provided by operating activities	$	1,064		$	996		$	68			7		$	1,754		$	1,807		$	(53	)		(3	)
Cash used in investing activities		(495	)		(535	)		40			(7	)		(936	)		(1,448	)		512			(35	)
Cash used in financing activities		(559	)		(393	)		(166	)		42			(822	)		(377	)		(445	)		118

The following table presents summarized working capital information as at June 30, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010:


Dollars (millions) — except ratio amounts	June 30, 2011			December 31, 2010			Change		% Change
Current assets	$	2,316		$	2,095		$	221		11
Current liabilities	$	(2,462	)	$	(3,144	)	$	682		(22	)
Working capital	$	(146	)	$	(1,049	)	$	903		(86	)
Current ratio		0.94			0.67			0.27		40

Liquidity needs can be met through a variety of sources, including: cash generated from operations, drawdowns under our long-term revolving credit facilities, issuance of commercial paper and short-term borrowings under our line of credit. Our primary uses of funds are operating expenses, sustaining and opportunity capital spending, intercorporate investments, dividends, interest and principal payments on our debt securities.

Cash provided by operating activities grew quarter over quarter as the rise in net income exceeded the decline of changes in non-cash operating working capital (trade receivables declined slightly in 2011, while taxes and trade receivables declined significantly in 2010). Cash provided by operating activities fell year over year, despite increased net income, due primarily to changes in non-cash operating working capital, which was impacted by increased receivables during the period (reduced during 2010 due to lower

45 PotashCorp 2011 Second Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q

taxes receivable) and reduced payables and accrued charges during the period (increased during 2010).

Cash used in investing activities was primarily for additions to property, plant and equipment, of which approximately 81 percent (2010 — 73 percent) in the second quarter and 80 percent (2010 — 78 percent) in the first half of 2011 related to the potash segment. Also in the first half of 2010, additional shares in ICL were purchased.

Cash used in financing activities in the second quarter and first six months of 2011 primarily reflected repayment of 10-year senior notes at maturity. We continued to issue commercial paper in the second quarter of 2011 and repayments exceeded issuances in the first half of 2011 as a result of strong net cash inflows. In the second quarter and first half of 2010, cash used in financing activities was to repay long-term and short-term debt obligations (draws on credit facilities in the first quarter of 2010 were repaid during the first and second quarters of 2010).

We believe that internally generated cash flow, supplemented by borrowing from existing financing sources, if necessary, will be sufficient to meet our anticipated capital expenditures and other cash requirements for at least the next 12 months, exclusive of any acquisitions the company may consider from time to time. At this time, we do not reasonably expect any presently known trend or uncertainty to affect our ability to access our historical sources of cash.

Principal Debt Instruments


	June 30, 2011
	Total		Amount Outstanding			Amount
Dollars (millions)	Amount		and Committed			Available
Credit facilities⁽¹⁾	$	3,250	$	1,115		$	2,135
Line of credit		75		23	⁽²⁾		52


⁽¹⁾		In March 2011, the company established a commercial paper program in the US. The authorized amount under the company’s commercial paper programs in Canada and the US is $1,500 million in the aggregate. The amounts available under the commercial paper programs are limited to the availability of backup funds under the credit facilities. Included in the amount outstanding and committed is $1,115 million of commercial paper. Per the terms of the agreements, the commercial paper outstanding and committed, as applicable under the Canadian program, is based on the US dollar balance or equivalent thereof in lawful money of other currencies at the time of issue; therefore, subsequent changes in the exchange rate applicable to Canadian dollar-denominated commercial paper have no impact on this balance.

⁽²⁾		Letters of credit committed.

We use a combination of short-term and long-term debt to finance our operations. We effectively pay floating rates of interest on our commercial paper and credit facilities, and fixed rates on our senior notes. As of June 30, 2011, interest rates ranged from 0.31 percent to 0.47 percent on outstanding commercial paper denominated in US dollars.

Our two syndicated credit facilities provide for unsecured advances up to the total facilities amount less direct borrowings and amounts committed in respect of commercial paper outstanding. The $2,500 million and $750 million credit facilities mature December 11, 2012 and May 31, 2013, respectively. We also have a $75 million short-term line of credit that is available through August 2012 and an uncommitted $30 million letter of credit facility that is due on demand. Direct borrowings and outstanding letters of credit reduce the amounts available under these facilities. The line of credit and credit facilities have financial tests and other covenants (detailed in Note 10 to the 2010 annual consolidated financial statements) with which we must comply at each quarter-end. Non-compliance with any such covenants could result in accelerated payment of amounts borrowed and termination of lenders’ further funding obligations under the credit facilities and line of credit. We were in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2011.

Our ability to access reasonably priced debt in the capital markets is dependent, in part, on the quality of our credit ratings. We continue to maintain investment grade credit ratings for our long-term debt. A downgrade of the credit rating of our long-term debt by Standard & Poor’s would increase the interest rates applicable to borrowings under our syndicated credit facilities and our line of credit.

Commercial paper markets are normally a source of same-day cash for the company. Our access to the Canadian and US commercial paper markets primarily depends on maintaining our current short-term credit ratings as well as general conditions in the money markets.

⁽¹⁾		S&P assigned a global commercial paper rating of A-2, but rated our commercial paper A-1 (low) on a Canadian scale.

n/a = not applicable

A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. Such rating may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the respective credit rating agency and each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.

Our $3,750 million of outstanding senior notes were issued under US shelf registration statements.

As at June 30, 2011, our weighted average cost of capital was 10.4 percent (2010 — 10.1 percent), of which 90 percent represented equity (2010 — 89 percent).

Outstanding Share Data

We had 855,538,911 common shares issued and outstanding at June 30, 2011 compared to 853,122,693 at December 31, 2010. During the second quarter and first six months of 2011, the company issued 776,528 and 2,416,218 common shares, respectively, pursuant to the exercise of stock options and under our dividend reinvestment plan. At June 30, 2011, 30,871,641 options to purchase common shares were outstanding under the company’s nine stock option plans, as compared to 32,121,309 under eight stock option plans at December 31, 2010.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of operations, PotashCorp engages in a variety of transactions that, under IFRS, are either not recorded on our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position or are recorded there in amounts that differ from the full contract amounts. Such principal off-balance sheet activities we undertake include operating leases, agreement to reimburse losses of Canpotex, issuance of guarantee contracts, certain derivative instruments and long-term contracts. We do not reasonably expect any presently known trend or uncertainty to affect our ability to continue using these arrangements. Refer to Notes 10 and 12 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for contingencies related to Canpotex and information on our guarantees, respectively. Refer to page 59 of our 2010 Financial Review Annual Report for information on derivative instruments. See “Cash Requirements” above and our 2010 Financial Review Annual Report for obligations related to operating leases and certain of our long-term raw materials agreements which contain fixed price components.

⁽¹⁾		As we adopted IFRS with effect from January 1, 2010, our 2009 quarterly information is presented on a Canadian GAAP basis. Accordingly, our quarterly information for 2011 and 2010 may not be comparable to that for 2009.

Net income per share for each quarter has been computed based on the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding during the respective quarter, including the dilutive number of shares assumed for the diluted earnings per share computation; therefore, as the number of shares varies each period, quarterly amounts may not add to the annual total.

Certain aspects of our business can be impacted by seasonal factors. Fertilizers are sold primarily for spring and fall application in both Northern and Southern hemispheres. However, planting conditions and the timing of customer purchases will vary each year and fertilizer sales can be expected to shift from one quarter to another. Most feed and industrial sales are by contract and are more evenly distributed throughout the year.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, which comply with IFRS. These principles differ in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These differences are described and quantified in Note 12 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The accounting policies used in preparing the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those described in Notes 1 and 13 to Part I Item 1 of our 2011 First Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Certain of these policies involve critical accounting estimates because they require us to make particularly subjective or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because of the likelihood that materially different amounts could be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimate policies in the first six months of 2011.

47 PotashCorp 2011 Second Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q

We discussed the development, selection and application of our key accounting policies, and the critical accounting estimates and assumptions they involve, with the audit committee of the Board of Directors, and the committee reviewed the disclosures described in this section.

Recent Accounting Changes

Refer to Note 1 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information pertaining to accounting changes effective in 2011, and Notes 1 and 12 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for information on issued accounting pronouncements that will be effective in future periods.

We applied IFRS as of January 1, 2010 and retrospectively applied all effective IFRS, meaning that the comparative financial information provided uses the same accounting policies throughout all periods. We also applied certain optional and mandatory exemptions as outlined in Note 13 in Part I Item 1 of our 2011 First Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The changes in our reported results were the result of our adoption of IFRS and not an underlying change in our business.

Risk Management

Execution of our corporate strategy requires an effective program to manage the associated risks. The PotashCorp Risk Management Framework (“the Framework”) is applied to identify and manage such risks. The Framework consists of a comprehensive risk universe, with six corporate risk categories, and corresponding identification of risk events. The major corporate categories of risks are: markets/business, distribution, operational, financial, compliance and organizational. Separately and in combination, these risks potentially threaten our strategies and could affect our ability to deliver long-term shareholder value.

The Framework establishes an entity-wide risk ranking methodology. Risk events are evaluated against the criteria of likelihood or frequency of occurrence and the consequential magnitude or severity of the event. Mitigation activities are identified that will reduce the likelihood and/or severity of the occurrence of a risk event. The residual risk that results from identified mitigation activities is also evaluated using the same criteria. Management identifies the most significant risks to our strategy and reports to the Board of Directors on the mitigation plans.

The company’s Risk Management Process of identification, management and reporting of risk is continuous and dynamic. Changes to corporate risk that result from changing internal and external factors are evaluated on a quarterly basis and significant changes in risks and corresponding mitigation activities are reported quarterly to the audit committee. Detailed discussion of the PotashCorp Risk Management Process can be found on pages 45 and 46 of our 2010 Financial Review Annual Report as well as in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Risk management discussions specific to potash, phosphate and nitrogen operations can be found on pages 25, 31 and 37, respectively, of the 2010 Financial Review Annual Report.

The company recognizes damage to reputation as one of its most severe risk consequences, which is mitigated by ongoing and transparent communication with stakeholders, commitment to sustainability, and best practices in corporate governance. Moreover, significant investments and operations in a number of countries subject the company to business risks which could be exaggerated by differences in domestic culture, political and economic conditions, policies, laws and regulations. The company may also be adversely affected by changing anti-trust laws in operating jurisdictions worldwide.

The risks of greatest potential impact to potash reported in the 2010 Financial Review Annual Report include market supply imbalances which may result from fluctuations in global demand for product or from new competitor supply in the form of greenfield mines, inadequacy of the transportation and distribution infrastructure to timely accommodate volume delivery demands, and physical risks particular to underground mines (such as unexpected underground rock falls and water inflow from underground water-bearing strata). We mitigate the market imbalance risks by managing production to meet market demand. The company mitigates transportation and distribution risks both directly and through Canpotex by working with rail carriers and undertaking sufficient capital investment in transportation infrastructure and railcars. Underground mine risk mitigation activities include advanced geoseismic monitoring. At Lanigan, Saskatchewan, mitigation includes ground penetrating radar development and the installation of protective canopies on mining machines.

Similar risks of cyclicality and market imbalance exist in phosphate and nitrogen, largely due to competitive costs, availability of supply and government involvement. The company mitigates these risks by focusing on less cyclical markets, maintaining a diversified sulfur supply portfolio and employing natural gas price risk hedging strategies where appropriate.

Outlook

Even with uncertainty around macroeconomic issues — including US and European sovereign debt concerns — weighing on equity markets and investors’ tolerance for risk, the strength of agricultural fundamentals continues to provide a highly favorable environment for our business. The pursuit of higher crop yields is essential to meeting the world’s immediate and long-term food needs and is driving strong demand for all three nutrients, especially potash.

PotashCorp 2011 Second Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 48

While no industry is fully immune to external economic forces, the need to meet the world’s ever-increasing food supply requirements is an important challenge and a powerful force. We see evidence of this today. When investors back away from agricultural commodities, commercial buyers quickly step in to secure a share of the world’s crop production. Although crop prices are likely to fluctuate, we anticipate they will remain at levels that provide farmers with the motivation to maximize production and the confidence to invest in their most important asset -— their soil.

The ability to meet the anticipated increase in potash needs of the world’s farmers is made more challenging by a void in the supply chain that was triggered by demand deferrals amidst the economic downturn. Inventories at the distributor level remain limited, as purchased tonnes are moving quickly to farmers for use on their crops. Inventories of North American producers are also well below historical levels as we enter the traditional period for maintenance-related shutdowns. Many potash buyers globally are recognizing the tightness of world supply and are moving to secure product — a trend that we expect to continue in 2012, especially with the anticipated return of India and China to the market in a more substantial way.

These are some of the conditions we anticipated when we launched our potash expansion program in 2003. While some competitors are still working through the planning and feasibility of potential expansions, several of our projects — largely initiated and advanced during a period of lower construction and materials costs — are now completed or in advanced stages of construction. We believe they will give us the ability to increase production in a time of rising demand and higher prices and expect our expanded operational capability to be a competitive advantage for years to come.

While seldom considered by those outside the potash business, operating facilities at full capability can be a challenge as disruptions from logistical, operational and geological issues are common. We continue to estimate global demand will approximate 55-60 million tonnes in 2011, but now anticipate that meeting the upper end of the range will be constrained by what we estimate is the industry’s ability to produce.

In North America, we anticipate that robust potash demand will continue through the second half of 2011, with the majority of our product already committed for the third quarter at the previously announced price of $560 per short ton ($617 per tonne) FOB US Midwest warehouses. We expect the $30 per short ton price increase announced at the end of June will begin to be reflected in our realizations during the fourth quarter. Shipments to North American customers from all suppliers are expected to approximate 10-10.5 million tonnes for the full year.

Latin American distributors continue to move aggressively to secure potash supplies to meet strong farmer demand, with the majority of third-quarter sales volumes booked at a delivered price of $550 per tonne. We anticipate total demand in this market will reach 10-10.5 million tonnes for 2011 (including 7-7.5 million tonnes of imports to Brazil), with record consumption expected to result in low distributor inventories after its primary planting season.

Ongoing strength in demand from Asian markets outside of China and India is likely to continue as growers strive to capitalize on historically high returns for key crops such as oil palm, sugar, rice and rubber. We expect potash sales for the third quarter to reflect the previously announced price of $510 per tonne on a delivered basis and demand in this region to approximate 7.7-8.2 million tonnes this year.

China’s second-half 2011 contract with Canpotex, which included a $70-per-tonne price increase from previous contract levels, is expected to provide a steady flow of potash to this market. We anticipate China’s consumption will approximate 10.5 million tonnes this year, including imports of approximately 6-6.5 million tonnes. With limited product available to satisfy its pent-up demand through the remainder of 2011, we expect this market will end the year with reduced inventories.

India has a high agronomic need for potash and its inventories have been reduced to critically low levels, which is creating strong pressure from commercial buyers and farmers to secure new supply. Given the delay in settling new contracts and limited product availability in the second half of 2011, we now anticipate India’s annual imports will total 4-4.5 million tonnes. With its pressing need to increase crop productivity and restock depleted inventories, we expect significant Indian demand requirements in 2012.

In this environment, we forecast our 2011 potash segment gross margin will be in the range of $2.9 billion to $3.2 billion and our total shipments within the range of 9.6-10 million tonnes. Scheduled summer maintenance shutdowns and extended expansion-related downtime at our Allan facility will limit our supply of product in the second half of the year. Although we experienced a longer than expected ramp-up at our new Cory mill in the first half of 2011, we expect to begin operating at improved rates during the third quarter.

Phosphate markets are projected to remain strong through 2011, given robust fertilizer demand, the expectation of reduced Chinese exports and higher prices for phosphate rock and phosphoric acid. We anticipate improved margins for all downstream phosphate products although higher prices for input costs are expected to limit margin upside. In nitrogen, we anticipate that strong agricultural and industrial demand will support higher prices through the remainder of 2011. Given these conditions, we expect our combined phosphate and nitrogen gross margin for 2011 to be in the range of $1.4 billion to $1.6 billion.

49 PotashCorp 2011 Second Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q

In addition, we believe the strength of global potash market fundamentals will increase other sources of income for 2011 to a range of $330-$360 million. We now expect capital expenditures (excluding capitalized interest) for 2011 to approximate $2.2 billion, with $1.6 billion relating to our ongoing potash expansion projects.

We expect third-quarter net income per share to approximate $0.80-$1.00 per share and have raised our full-year earnings guidance to the range of $3.40-$3.80 per share.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including those in the “Outlook” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations relating to the period after June 30, 2011 are forward-looking statements or forward-looking information (“forward-looking statements”). These statements can be identified by expressions of belief, expectation or intention, as well as those statements that are not historical fact. These statements are based on certain factors and assumptions as set forth in this Form 10-Q, including with respect to: foreign exchange rates; expected growth, results of operations, performance, business prospects and opportunities; and effective tax rates. While the company considers these factors and assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available, they may prove to be incorrect. Several factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: fluctuations in supply and demand in the fertilizer, sulfur, transportation and petrochemical markets; changes in competitive pressures, including pricing pressures; adverse or uncertain economic conditions and changes in credit markets; the results of sales contract negotiations with major markets; timing and amount of capital expenditures; risks associated with natural gas and other hedging activities; changes in capital markets and corresponding effects on the company’s investments; changes in currency and exchange rates; unexpected geological or environmental conditions, including water inflow; strikes or other forms of work stoppage or slowdowns; changes in, and the effects of, government policies and regulations; and earnings, exchange rates and the decisions of taxing authorities, all of which could affect our effective tax rates. Additional risks and uncertainties can be found in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 under the captions “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Item 1A — Risk Factors” and in our other filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission and the Canadian provincial securities commissions. Forward-looking statements are given only as at the date of this report and the company disclaims any obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the potential for loss from adverse changes in the market value of financial instruments. The level of market risk to which we are exposed varies depending on the composition of our derivative instrument portfolio, as well as current and expected market conditions. A discussion of enterprise-wide risk management can be found in our 2010 Financial Review Annual Report, pages 45 to 46, and risk management discussion specific to potash, phosphate and nitrogen operations can be found on pages 25, 31 and 37, respectively, of that report. A discussion of commodity risk, foreign exchange risk, credit risk and liquidity risk can be found in Note 12 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2011, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon that evaluation and as of June 30, 2011, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports the company files and submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 5. Other Information

Mine Safety Practices

Safety is the company’s top priority and we are committed to providing a healthy and safe work environment for our employees, contractors and all others at our sites to help meet our company-wide goal of achieving no harm to people.

The operations at the company’s Aurora, Weeping Water and White Springs facilities are subject to the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, as amended by the Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006 (the “Act”), and the implementing regulations, which impose stringent health and safety standards on numerous aspects of mineral extraction and processing operations, including the training of personnel, operating procedures, operating equipment and other matters. Our Senior Safety Leadership Team is responsible for managing compliance with applicable government regulations, as well as implementing and overseeing the elements of our safety program as outlined in our Safety, Health and Environment Manual. The Weeping Water facility achieved a significant milestone on September 26, 2010, completing six years without a Lost Time Incident.
