2. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY
The Company has adopted the provisions of section 1540 of the Canadian

payments arising from investing and financing activities are separately
disclosed. Investing and financing transactions that do not require the use of
cash or cash equivalents are excluded from the cash flow statement and disclosed
supplementally. The effect of this change on the current and prior period
consolidated statements of cash flow is not significant.

7. UNITED STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (US GAAP)
A description of certain significant differences between Canadian GAAP and
US GAAP follows:
Marketable securities: The Company's investment in Israel Chemicals Ltd.
("ICL") is stated at cost. US GAAP would require that this investment be
classified as available-for-sale and be stated at market value.
Foreign currency translation adjustment: The foreign currency translation
adjustment results from the restatement of prior periods so that all periods
presented are in the same reporting currency. US GAAP requires that the
comparative Consolidated Statements of Income and the Consolidated Statements of
Cash Flow be translated using weighted average exchange rates for the applicable
periods. In contrast, the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position are
translated using the exchange rates at the end of the applicable periods in
accordance with Canadian GAAP. The difference in these exchange rates gives rise
to the foreign currency translation adjustment.
Net sales: Sales are recorded net of freight costs (less related revenues)
and transportation and distribution expenses. US GAAP would require that net
freight costs be included in cost of goods sold and transportation and
distribution expenses be included in selling and administrative expenses.
7
<PAGE> 8
Comprehensive income: Comprehensive income is not recognized under Canadian
GAAP. US GAAP would require the recognition of comprehensive income.
In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 123
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". The Company has decided to continue
to apply APB Opinion 25 for measurement of compensation of employees.
The application of US GAAP, as described above, would have had no effects
on net income or net income per share and the following approximate effects on
total assets and shareholders' equity:

8. ACQUISITION OF MINERA YOLANDA S.C.M.
On July 1, 1999, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Minera Yolanda S.C.M. for $35,957 (subject to adjustment). Subsequent to the
acquisition, the name Minera Yolanda S.C.M. was changed to PCS Yumbes S.C.M. The
acquisition will be accounted for by the purchase method of accounting.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The narrative included under this Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations has been prepared on a nutrient
basis (the phosphate products produced at Geismar are included with phosphate
data rather than nitrogen) rather than a subsidiary or business segment basis
(see Note 6 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements) and with
reference to the unaudited consolidated financial statements reported under
Canadian GAAP.

</TABLE>
In the second quarter of 1999, an increase in net sales revenue in potash
of $14.0 million was more than offset by decreases in phosphate and nitrogen net
sales revenue of $43.7 million and $66.3 million, respectively, resulting in a
net decrease of $96.0 million in net sales revenue as compared to the second
quarter of 1998.
North American net sales revenue for the second quarter of 1999 represented
70 percent (1998 -- 72 percent) of total net sales revenue and offshore sales
represented 30 percent (1998 -- 28 percent).
Gross margin for potash products was $97.6 million (an increase of $5.7
million from second quarter 1998); for phosphate products $43.7 million (a
decrease of $17.1 million from 1998); and for nitrogen products a negative $0.6
million (a decrease of $34.5 million from 1998).
The decrease in net income of $27.3 million compared to the second quarter
of 1998 was primarily attributable to: a $45.9 million reduction in gross margin
and a $5.1 million reduction in other income, which were partially offset by a
$1.0 million decrease in provincial mining and other taxes, a $4.9 million
decrease in interest expense and a $17.7 million reduction in income taxes.

</TABLE>
In the first half of 1999, an increase in net sales revenue in potash of
$15.0 million was more than offset by decreases in phosphate and nitrogen net
sales revenue of $58.4 million and $87.0 million, respectively, resulting in a
net decrease of $130.4 million in net sales revenue as compared to the first
half of 1998.
North American net sales revenue for the first six months of 1999
represented 73 percent (1998 -- 73 percent) of total net sales revenue and
offshore sales represented 27 percent (1998 -- 27 percent).
Gross margin for potash products was $177.8 million (an increase of $1.5
million from first half 1998); for phosphate products $89.4 million (a decrease
of $23.5 million from 1998); and for nitrogen products a negative $4.4 million
(a decrease of $52.5 million from 1998).
The decrease in net income of $50.8 million compared to the first half of
1998 was primarily attributable to: a reduction in gross margin of $74.5
million, a decrease in other income of $7.9 million and an increase in
provincial mining and other taxes of $2.9 million, which were partially offset
by a $10.0 million decrease in interest expense and a $24.0 million reduction in
income taxes.

Gross margin for potash products in the second quarter of 1999 was $97.6
million (1998 -- $91.9 million) or 69 percent (1998 -- 49 percent) of
consolidated gross margin.
Potash prices in the offshore market rose 9 percent as compared to the
second quarter of 1998 due primarily to higher contract prices in China, Japan
and Korea.
North American potash prices increased by 2 percent as compared to the
second quarter of 1998 due to the partial success of price increases that were
introduced during the first quarter of 1999.
Offshore sales volumes were down 2 percent as compared to second quarter
1998. Sales volumes to Brazil were down primarily due to credit conditions in
that country, but this decrease was partially offset by increased sales to
Europe, Indonesia, Japan and Korea.

<PAGE> 11
North American sales volumes increased 11 percent from second quarter 1998
levels due in part to the additional granular product available from PCS Cassidy
Lake. In the North American market, the 0.704 million tonnes sales volumes for
the second quarter were sourced as follows: 0.660 million tonnes (1998 -- 0.558
million tonnes) came from Saskatchewan, 0.031 million tonnes (1998 -- 0.060
million tonnes) from New Brunswick and 0.013 million tonnes (1998 -- 0.016
million tonnes) from Utah.
Offshore net sales revenue from potash represented 64 percent (1998 -- 66
percent) of the Company's potash net sales revenue. Higher offshore prices
resulted in a $7.5 million increase in offshore potash net sales revenue. This
was offset by a reduction in net sales revenue of $0.7 million due to reduced
sales volumes. In the offshore market, 0.950 million tonnes (1998 -- 1.087
million tonnes) were sold through Canpotex and the remaining 0.268 million
tonnes (1998 -- 0.159 million tonnes) were produced by PCS New Brunswick and
sold and delivered by PCS Sales.
North American net sales revenue from potash operations represented 36
percent (1998 -- 34 percent) of the Company's potash net sales revenue. Higher
North American potash sales volumes resulted in a $5.2 million increase in North
American potash net sales revenue over second quarter 1998. This was combined
with an increase in net sales revenue of $2.0 million due to a 2 percent
increase in sales prices.

Gross margin for potash products in the first half of 1999 was $177.8
million (1998 -- $176.3 million) or 68 percent (1998 -- 52 percent) of
consolidated gross margin.
Potash prices in the offshore market rose 5 percent as compared to the
first half of 1998 primarily due to higher contract prices in China, Japan and
Korea.
North American potash prices increased by 3 percent as compared to the
first half of 1998 due to the partial success of price increases that were
introduced during 1999.
Offshore sales volumes were down 7 percent as compared to first half 1998.
The decrease from first half 1998 was primarily due to lower sales to Brazil due
to credit conditions in that country.
North American sales volumes increased 12 percent from first half 1998
levels due in part to the additional granular product available from PCS Cassidy
Lake. In the North American market, the 1.548 million tonnes sales volumes for
the first half were sourced as follows: 1.479 million tonnes (1998 -- 1.240
million tonnes) came from Saskatchewan, 0.039 million tonnes (1998 -- 0.108
million tonnes) from New Brunswick and 0.030 million tonnes (1998 -- 0.030
million tonnes) from Utah.
Offshore net sales revenue from potash represented 59 percent (1998 -- 63
percent) of the Company's potash net sales revenue. Higher offshore prices
resulted in a $9.2 million increase in offshore potash net sales revenue. This
was offset by a reduction in net sales revenue of $12.1 million due to reduced
sales volumes (which was primarily due to lower sales to Brazil). In the
offshore market, 1.796 million tonnes (1998 -- 1.950 million tonnes) were sold
through Canpotex and the remaining 0.319 million tonnes (1998 -- 0.315 million
tonnes) were produced by PCS New Brunswick and sold and delivered by PCS Sales.
North American net sales revenue from potash operations represented 41
percent (1998 -- 37 percent) of the Company's potash net sales revenue. Higher
North American potash sales volumes resulted in a $12.4 million increase in
North American potash net sales revenue over first half 1998. This was combined
with an increase in net sales revenue of $5.6 million due to a 3 percent
increase in sales prices.

Gross margin for phosphate products for second quarter 1999 was $43.7
million (1998 -- $60.8 million) or 31 percent (1998 -- 33 percent) of
consolidated gross margin.
With the exception of industrial products (the price of which increased 8
percent primarily due to changes in sales mix), phosphate prices in the North
American market decreased marginally as compared to second quarter 1998.
Liquid phosphate prices in the offshore markets were down 5 percent over
second quarter 1998, primarily due to lower contract prices in the offshore
markets. Offshore prices of solid phosphate decreased by 4 percent over second
quarter 1998, primarily due to delays in fertilizer subsidies in India. The
offshore price of feed supplements, affected by the currency devaluations and
financial difficulties in Asian countries, decreased by 9 percent over the same
period.
Overall, North American phosphate sales volumes declined 18 percent as
compared to second quarter 1998. This was primarily due to a combination of
weather conditions and lower grain prices which led to lower volumes being
applied. North American solid phosphate sales volumes decreased by 28 percent
while liquid sales volumes declined 12 percent. North American sales volumes of
industrial products decreased by 22 percent primarily due to higher US imports,
while feed supplement sales volumes were down 9 percent principally due to a
turnaround at a significant customer's plant.
Liquid and solid offshore sales volumes decreased by 38 percent and 13
percent, respectively, compared to second quarter 1998. Solid volumes were lower
primarily due to delays in government subsidies in India. Liquid volumes were
affected by the currency devaluation and credit conditions in Brazil. Offshore
feed supplement sales volumes increased 58 percent in the same period primarily
due to increased volumes sold in Asia and South America.
North American phosphate net sales revenue accounted for 76 percent
(1998 -- 76 percent) of total phosphate net sales revenue and 70 percent
(1998 -- 71 percent) of sales volumes. Offshore sales accounted for 24 percent
(1998 -- 24 percent) of total phosphate net sales revenue and 30 percent
(1998 -- 29 percent) of volumes. In the second quarter of 1999, 43 percent
(1998 -- 37 percent) of the Company's total phosphate net sales revenue was
earned from non-fertilizer products, which represented 36 percent (1998 -- 31
percent) of its phosphate sales volumes and 56 percent (1998 -- 43 percent) of
its gross margin.

Overall, phosphate prices in the North American market were flat as
compared to first half 1998.
In the offshore markets, overall phosphate prices were flat as compared to
second half 1998. Liquid phosphate prices were up 2 percent over first half 1998
and prices of solid phosphates were flat. The offshore price of feed
supplements, affected by the currency devaluations and financial difficulties in
Asian countries, decreased by 9 percent over the same period.
Overall, North American phosphate sales volumes were down 9 percent as
compared to first half 1998. This was primarily due to a combination of weather
conditions and lower grain prices which led to lower volumes being applied.
North American solid phosphate sales volumes decreased by 10 percent while
liquid sales volumes declined 6 percent. North American sales volumes of
industrial products decreased by 17 percent primarily due to higher US imports
while feed supplement sales volumes were down 8 percent principally due to
reduced livestock numbers and increased competition from meat and bone meal.
Liquid and solid offshore sales volumes decreased by 29 percent and 24
percent, respectively, compared to first half 1998. Solid volumes were lower
primarily due to delays in government subsidies in India. Liquid volumes were
affected by the currency devaluation and credit conditions in Brazil. Offshore
feed supplement sales volumes increased 30 percent in the same period.
North American phosphate net sales revenue accounted for 79 percent
(1998 -- 76 percent) of total phosphate net sales revenue and 74 percent

In the second quarter of 1999, gross margin for nitrogen products was a
negative $0.6 million (1998 -- positive $33.9 million) or 0 percent (1998 -- 18
percent) of consolidated gross margin.
The continued absence of China from offshore urea markets and reduced cash
production costs for Former Soviet Union ("FSU") producers due to lower gas
prices and currency weakness in the FSU countries continued to put pressure on
offshore prices. Offshore urea prices were down 22 percent and ammonia prices
down 32 percent when compared to second quarter 1998.
Falling offshore nitrogen prices resulted in lower North American prices as
well. On an overall basis, North American prices for manufactured products
declined 15 percent as compared to the second quarter of 1998.
North American sales volumes of manufactured products decreased 8 percent
on an overall basis over second quarter 1998. Sales volume increases were as
follows: urea 6 percent and ammonia 39 percent. The increase in urea sales
volumes was primarily due to the Company focusing on the North American market
where prices were somewhat stronger. The increased sales volumes of ammonia were
primarily due to the new facility in Trinidad as these tonnes replace product
previously purchased by the Company (purchased ammonia sales volumes decreased
36 percent in the same period). Sales volumes for nitrogen solutions were down
37 percent due to the combination of fewer acres planted to corn and more to
soybeans, low grain prices and early spring ammonia application. Sales volumes
of other nitrogen products were flat over the same period.
Offshore sales volumes for manufactured products, on an overall basis, were
down 14 percent as compared to the second quarter of 1998. Offshore sales
volumes of urea declined 43 percent as compared to the second quarter of 1998,
as the Company chose to focus its sales on the North American market where
prices were somewhat stronger.
The Company continued to sell a large portion of its North American
nitrogen production to the more stable industrial market. Non-fertilizer
products represented 44 percent (1998 -- 35 percent) of nitrogen sales volumes,
42 percent (1998 -- 33 percent) of net sales revenue and 100 percent
(1998 -- 100 percent) of positive gross margin.

1999 were $22.9 million compared to $23.9 million in 1998, a decrease of $1.0
million. This decrease relates to the Potash Production Tax which decreased due
to lower Saskatchewan-sourced sales in the second quarter of 1999 versus the
comparable period in 1998.
Saskatchewan corporate capital tax was $5.5 million, unchanged from the
second quarter of 1998. Various other payments to the Province in the form of
royalties and taxes totalled $4.0 million and are included in cost of goods
sold.
Year to Date
Saskatchewan's Potash Production Tax is comprised of a base tax per tonne
of product sold and an additional tax based on mine-by-mine profits. The New
Brunswick division and the Saskatchewan divisions pay a provincial Crown
royalty, which is accounted for in cost of goods sold.
Saskatchewan provincial mining and other taxes in the first half of 1999
were $47.7 million compared to $44.8 million in 1998, an increase of $2.9
million. Of this increase, $2.2 million relates to the Potash Production Tax
which increased due to higher Saskatchewan-sourced sales in the first six months
of 1999 versus the comparable period in 1998.
Saskatchewan corporate capital tax was $11.2 million in the first half of
1999 compared to $10.5 million in first half 1998. Various other payments to the
Province in the form of royalties and taxes totalled $8.3 million and are
included in cost of goods sold.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Second Quarter
Interest expense in the second quarter of 1999 was $12.1 million compared
to $17.0 million in 1998, a decrease of $4.9 million, due to a reduction of the
weighted average long-term debt outstanding from $1.0 billion in the second
quarter of 1998 to $748.0 million in 1999. The weighted average interest rate on
the long-term debt outstanding was 6.2 percent in the second quarter of 1999
(1998 -- 6.4 percent).
Year to Date
Interest expense in the first half of 1999 was $27.2 million compared to
$37.1 million in 1998, a decrease of $9.9 million, due to a reduction of the
weighted average long-term debt outstanding from $1.1 billion in the first half
of 1998 to $814.2 million in 1999. The weighted average interest rate on the
long-term debt outstanding was 6.2 percent in the first half of 1999
(1998 -- 6.2 percent).

INCOME TAXES
Second Quarter
Income taxes for the second quarter were $23.1 million, compared to $40.8
million in 1998, a decrease of $17.7 million. The decrease was due to a
combination of the reduction in income before income taxes and a reduction in
the estimated annual income tax rate.
PCS and certain subsidiaries are subject to federal and provincial income
taxes in Canada. By virtue of deductions with respect to non-capital losses
carried forward, capital cost allowance, Canadian development expense and earned
depletion allowance, such taxes have not yet been payable. The Company expects
to begin paying cash income taxes in respect of 1999.
The Company's subsidiaries which operate in the United States are subject
to US federal and state income taxes. By virtue of certain income tax deductions
available, these subsidiaries are not currently subject to regular federal cash
income tax. However, they are subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax, which may
be carried forward indefinitely as a credit to be applied against future regular
income tax liabilities.
Certain of the Company's nitrogen subsidiaries which operate in Trinidad
are subject to Trinidad taxes.
The effective consolidated tax rate for the second quarter of 1999 was 27
percent (1998 -- 31 percent) of income before income taxes, of which 4
percentage points (1998 -- 7 percentage points) represented current income taxes
and 23 percentage points (1998 -- 24 percentage points) represented deferred
income taxes. The reduction in the consolidated tax rate is due to a
year-to-date adjustment to reflect lower than expected phosphate and nitrogen
results.
Year to Date
Income taxes for the first six months were $43.4 million, compared to $67.5
million in 1998, a decrease of $24.1 million. The decrease was due to a
combination of the reduction in income before income taxes and a reduction in
the estimated annual income tax rate.
PCS and certain subsidiaries are subject to federal and provincial income
taxes in Canada. By virtue of deductions with respect to non-capital losses
carried forward, capital cost allowance, Canadian development expense and earned
depletion allowance, such taxes have not yet been payable. The Company expects
to begin paying cash income taxes in respect of 1999.
The Company's subsidiaries which operate in the United States are subject
to US federal and state income taxes. By virtue of certain income tax deductions
available, these subsidiaries are not currently subject to regular federal cash
income tax. However, they are subject to the Alternative Minimum Tax, which may
be carried forward indefinitely as a credit to be applied against future regular
income tax liabilities.
Certain of the Company's nitrogen subsidiaries which operate in Trinidad
are subject to Trinidad taxes.
The effective consolidated tax rate for the first half of 1999 was 30
percent (1998 -- 31 percent) of income before income taxes, of which 8
percentage points (1998 -- 7 percentage points) represented current income taxes
and 22 percentage points (1998 -- 24 percentage points) represented deferred
income taxes. The reduction in the rate is due to a year-to-date adjustment to
reflect lower than expected phosphate and nitrogen results.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND CASH FLOW
Cash provided by operating activities in the first half of 1999 was $270.5
million (1998 -- $340.7 million). The decrease of $70.2 million was primarily
due to a decrease in net income of $50.8 million and a decrease in non-cash
expenses charged against operating income (primarily deferred income taxes in
the amount of $20.8 million).
Cash used in investing activities was $43.1 million (1998 -- $51.8
million). The decrease of $8.7 million was primarily due to a reduction of
additions to fixed assets of $18.4 million which was partially offset by an
increase in additions to other assets of $9.7 million.
Cash used in financing activities was $278.2 million (1998 -- $275.0
million), primarily to repay long-term debt and to pay dividends. The Company
paid dividends of $13.4 million in the second quarter of 1999 (1998 -- $13.4
million).
The Company has a syndicated credit facility which provides for unsecured
advances of up to $925.0 million of which $145.0 million was outstanding at June
30, 1999. The Company has begun to substitute borrowings under a commercial
paper program for the syndicated credit facility in order to reduce interest
costs. The Company may also issue up to an additional $600.0 million in
unsecured debt securities under its existing shelf registration statement.
The Company believes that internally generated cash flow, supplemented as
necessary by borrowings from existing financing sources, will be sufficient to
meet the Company's anticipated capital expenditures and other cash requirements,
exclusive of any possible acquisitions, in 1999.
YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE
The year 2000 poses a risk that computer systems, or devices containing
microchips, will generate erroneous results if the year 2000 is stored as 00.
The Year 2000 problem, if not remedied, could result in a system failure or
miscalculations causing what are expected to be temporary disruptions of
operations, including, among other things, an inability to process transactions,
send invoices or engage in similar normal business activities. The Company
defines year 2000 compliance as computer systems or devices which will function
accurately before, on, and after January 1, 2000 without business or operational
interruptions, or repercussions, due to any date-related functions.
The Company has a Year 2000 committee composed of executive and senior
management to oversee and direct efforts to identify and resolve Year 2000
issues. The Company anticipated Year 2000 requirements for its corporate, potash
and sales administrative systems in the early 1990s by implementing four-digit
century standards. Testing to confirm compliance is complete in these areas.
Based on testing and investigations to date the Company believes that these
systems will not give rise to material Year 2000 problems. The phosphate
subsidiary has completed the testing and installation of vendor-certified year
2000 compliant upgrades. The nitrogen subsidiary has completed compliant
upgrades and implementation of its information systems except for one
application. The application has been tested but requires an upgrade to the
operating environment which is expected to be completed in the third quarter of
1999.
Seventeen of the Company's production locations have completed their
compliance. Compliance for the remaining four plants is scheduled for the third
quarter of 1999 after their summer maintenance shutdowns.
The Company has formally communicated with critical customers, suppliers
and other external parties to determine the extent to which the Company may be
vulnerable to such parties' failure to resolve their Year 2000 issues. Written
assurances received to date have not identified any matters which are expected
to materially affect the Company. However, the effect, if any, on the Company's
results of operations or financial condition from the failure of these entities
to be Year 2000 ready is uncertain.
The Company is primarily utilizing internal resources to identify, upgrade
and test its systems for Year 2000 compliance. This has not deferred any other
material projects. The Company anticipates that these efforts will be completed
by third quarter 1999 and that the total estimated costs will approximate $2.0
million. To date $1.3 million has been expended. The Company expects that the
remaining estimated costs will be
19
<PAGE> 20
expended in the third quarter of 1999. These costs have been and are expected to
continue to be financed from internally generated cash flows.
At this time, the Company believes its most reasonably likely worst case
scenario is that there may be temporary disruptions of power and/or gas
transmission to certain of its plants and/or that there may be temporary
disruptions of certain transportation services. In either case, the Company does
not believe that these disruptions would have a material adverse effect on its
results of operations or financial condition. This is principally due to the
fact that inventory levels would be building in anticipation of the spring
fertilizer season; fertilizer sales are seasonally low at the beginning of the
year and the disruptions, if any, would be expected to be temporary.
The Company has not identified the need for, nor has it created, Year 2000
specific contingency plans as it believes that its existing risk management
systems are adequate to address any Year 2000 related situations that may arise.
The Company continues to monitor third parties on an ongoing basis.
OUTLOOK
The rising world population and the demand for more food and better diets,
with meat as a protein source, will continue to drive consumption of fertilizers
over the long term. While the consumption trend line is expected to continue to
climb over the long term, there will be, at times, fluctuations in demand.
North American fertilizer demand is generally considered mature but is
expected to fluctuate from year to year, as a function of acres planted and
application rates per acre which are influenced by crop prices and weather.
The Company sells a significant amount of potash and phosphate in the
offshore markets. These countries purchase fertilizer to grow cash crops for
export and to grow food for internal use.
The Company also sells product in the non-fertilizer markets which are
affected by North American economic growth.
The effect of any increase in demand for fertilizer and non-fertilizer
products will be offset to the degree that additional capacity comes on stream.
Domestic potash sales volumes in the third quarter of 1999 are expected to
be down from third quarter 1998, while prices are expected to be flat to down as
compared to third quarter 1998 levels primarily due to the downward pressure on
prices from new prices announced by a competitor. In the offshore market, prices
realized are expected to be flat as compared to third quarter 1998, while
volumes are expected to increase from 1998 levels due to continued strong sales
to China. Overall, potash volumes are expected to be generally flat as compared
to 1998.
PCS continues to operate its potash mines by matching production to
anticipated sales demand. Shutdowns at potash mines for inventory correction
will influence potash production costs on a quarter-over-quarter comparative
basis. The Company is currently planning 27 shutdown weeks in the third quarter
of 1999 as compared to 13 weeks in the same period in 1998, which is expected to
adversely impact third quarter production costs. Expected higher gas costs in
the third quarter will also have an unfavourable effect on production costs.
Provincial mining and other taxes are expected to be lower (on a per tonne
basis) than in the third quarter of 1998 due to fewer Saskatchewan-sourced
sales.
The decrease in ammonia prices is expected to favourably affect phosphate
processing input costs on a year-over-year basis. PCS can use up to one-quarter
of the ammonia it produces and sells as ammonia at its own phosphate plants.
However, as compared to third quarter 1998 it is expected that there will be
higher rock costs at Aurora due to the condition of the ore body currently being
mined. While the ore grade is lower than historic norms, it is above that of
other North American producers. It is expected that there will be some
improvement in the rock condition at Aurora, while White Springs is expected to
continue to provide low-cost rock. These increased costs, combined with lower
prices, are expected to result in a lower gross margin for phosphate products as
compared to the third quarter of 1998.
20
<PAGE> 21
In the near-term, prices for liquid and solid phosphates are expected to
decline due to competitive pressures. Sales volumes on an overall basis are
expected to be flat as compared to the third quarter of 1998, even though China
and India are expected to continue their large volume purchases in DAP. Feed
supplement and industrial product prices and sales volumes are expected to be
flat as compared to third quarter 1998.
Domestically, customers may delay their decisions about potash and
phosphate purchases until the last minute, making fall demand in both products
difficult to predict.
Market prices for nitrogen products are expected to continue to
deteriorate. The Company expects lower overall nitrogen prices in the third
quarter even though there has been some rationalization of capacity in the
industry through plant closures that were announced following the spring season.
The Company manages its natural gas costs through a combination of fixed
price contracts, hedges and the Trinidad gas contracts. In the third quarter,
these costs are expected to remain comparable to 1998 levels. As a flexible
producer, PCS will continue to allocate its nitrogen and phosphate feed stock to
production of the products that will most benefit results.
In response to market conditions, the Company announced on August 12, 1999
plant closures and shutdowns in its phosphate and nitrogen operations which are
expected to provide operating income savings of approximately $20 million
annually.
In nitrogen, the Clinton, Iowa plant with capacities of 238,000 tonnes for
ammonia, 79,000 tonnes for ammonium nitrate and 163,000 tonnes for nitrogen
solutions and the LaPlatte, Nebraska plant with capacities of 182,000 tonnes for
ammonia and 436,000 tonnes for nitrogen solutions will be immediately shut down
for an indefinite period. The Company is considering their permanent closure.
There are 112 employees at Clinton and 118 at LaPlatte.
In phosphate, the Saltville, Virginia feed plant and the Jacksonville,
Florida terminal will be closed permanently. The Suwannee River Hemihydrate
plant at White Springs, Florida will be closed indefinitely. Production at
Saltville, which has a capacity of 78,000 tonnes and employs 49 people, will
cease on August 31, 1999. Jacksonville employs nine people and the Hemi plant at
White Springs approximately 40; both these closures were effective August 12,
1999.
The Hemi plant closure reduces the Company's P(2)0(5) capacity by 110,000
tonnes which effectively removes 240,000 tonnes of annual DAP production from
the market. The closure of the Jacksonville terminal consolidates the phosphate
export distribution system through Morehead City, North Carolina, which serves
global customers more efficiently and economically.
Permanent closure of all the above assets would result in an asset
write-down totalling approximately $37 million and additional one-time shutdown
costs estimated at $20 million. The Company is currently reviewing the carrying
value of all its nitrogen assets.
Current business conditions, which continue to fluctuate, suggest that 1999
third quarter earnings for the Company (exclusive of any possible non-recurring
charges) should be in the range of one-half of third quarter 1998 earnings.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, including
statements in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations, relating to the period after June 30, 1999, are
forward-looking statements subject to significant uncertainties. A number of
factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in
the forward looking statements, including, but not limited to, fluctuation in
supply and demand in fertilizer, sulphur and petrochemical markets; changes in
competitive pressures, including pricing pressures; changes in capital markets;
changes in currency and exchange rates; unexpected geological or environmental
conditions; imprecision in reserve estimates; the outcome of legal proceedings;
and changes in government policy. The Company sells to a diverse group of
customers both by geography and by end product. Market conditions will vary on a
year-over-year basis and sales can be expected to shift from one period to
another.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company's nitrogen operations are significantly affected by the price
of natural gas. The Company employs derivative commodity instruments related to
a portion of its natural gas requirements (primarily futures, swaps and options)
for the purpose of managing its exposure to commodity price risk in the purchase
of natural gas. Changes in the market value of these derivative instruments have
a high correlation to changes in the spot price of natural gas. Gains or losses
arising from settled hedging transactions are deferred as a component of
inventory until the product containing the hedged item is sold. Changes in the
market value of open hedging transactions are not recognized as they generally
relate to changes in the spot price of anticipated natural gas purchases.
A sensitivity analysis has been prepared to estimate the Company's market
risk exposure arising from derivative commodity instruments. The fair value of
such instruments is calculated by valuing each position using quoted market
prices. Market risk is estimated as the potential loss in fair value resulting
from a hypothetical 10 percent adverse change in such prices. The results of
this analysis indicate that as of June 30, 1999, the Company's estimated
derivative commodity instruments market risk exposure was $32.7 million
(1998 -- $44.1 million). Actual results may differ from this estimate. Changes
in the fair value of such derivative instruments, with maturities in 1999
through 2004, will generally relate to changes in the spot price of anticipated
natural gas purchases.
The Company also enters into forward exchange contracts for the sole
purpose of limiting its exposure to exchange rate fluctuations relating to
certain trade accounts. Gains or losses resulting from foreign exchange
contracts are recognized at the time that the contracts are entered into and are
included in Other Income.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
AGREEMENT SUSPENDING POTASH DUMPING INVESTIGATION
In March 1987, the U.S. International Trade Commission made a preliminary
determination that there was a reasonable indication that the U.S. potash
producers had been injured by imports of Canadian potash, assuming that Canadian
potash had been "dumped" into the U.S. market at less than "fair value". On
August 26, 1987, the U.S. Department of Commerce ("Commerce") determined on a
preliminary basis that Canadian potash was, or was likely to be, sold in the
United States at less than "fair value".
On January 8, 1988, Commerce signed a suspension agreement with all of the
potash producers in Canada, suspending the dumping investigation by Commerce.
The agreement stipulates that each producer's minimum price for potash sold in
the United States is to be based upon a formula determined by Commerce for each
producer that is designed to limit any dumping by that producer in the future.
Compliance with the agreement is monitored by Commerce.
In accordance with procedures established by the Uruguay Round Agreements
Act, Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission initiated a "sunset"
review of the suspended investigation on April 1, 1999. Since no domestic
interested party filed a notice of intent to participate in the review within
the deadline provided in its regulations, Commerce issued a notice automatically
terminating the suspended dumping investigation effective January 1, 2000. The
suspended investigation and the suspension agreement both will terminate on that
date.
CIVIL ANTITRUST COMPLAINTS
In June 1993, PCS and PCS Sales (Canada) Inc. ("PCS Sales (Canada)") were
served with a complaint relating to a suit filed in the United States District
Court for Minnesota against most North American potash producers, including the
Company. The complaint alleged a conspiracy among the defendants to fix the
price of potash purchased by the plaintiffs as well as potash purchased by the
members of a class of certain purchasers proposed by the plaintiffs. Similar
complaints were filed in the United States District Courts for the Northern
District of Illinois and the Western District of Virginia. On motion of the
defendants, all of the complaints were transferred and consolidated for
pre-trial purposes in the United States District Court for Minnesota. Amended
complaints were filed in March and April 1994. On January 12, 1995, the
Minnesota Federal Court granted the plaintiffs' motion for class certification.
The complaint sought treble damages in an unspecified amount and other relief.
PCS and PCS Sales filed a motion for summary judgment on December 22, 1995. On
January 2, 1997, Judge Richard H. Kyle issued an order granting the defendants'
motions for summary judgment and dismissing the lawsuit. The plaintiffs appealed
that order to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit on
January 31, 1997. On May 7, 1999, the Eighth Circuit, in a two to one decision,
issued an opinion reversing Judge Kyle's summary judgment decision in favor of
the Company as well as several of the other defendants. On July 16, 1999, the
Eighth Circuit granted defendants' petition for rehearing en banc and vacated
the May 7, 1999 opinion of the three judge panel. Oral argument before the
Eighth Circuit en banc is scheduled to occur on September 13, 1999.
Additional complaints were filed in the California and Illinois state
courts on behalf of purported classes of indirect purchasers of potash in those
states. PCS moved to dismiss the California State Court lawsuit for lack of
personal jurisdiction and the court ruled that it does not have personal
jurisdiction over PCS but that it does have personal jurisdiction over PCS
Sales. Following Judge Kyle's summary judgment decision, the California
litigation was stayed and the case remains at an early stage: no merits
discovery has taken place. The Illinois State Court complaint was dismissed for
failure to state a cause of action and that decision is final and not subject to
appeal.
Insofar as the allegations of wrongdoing in the litigation relate to the
Company, management of the Company, having consulted with legal counsel,
believes that the allegations are without merit, that the Company has valid
legal defenses and that the lawsuit will not have a material adverse effect on
the Company. However, management of the Company cannot predict with certainty
the outcome of the litigation.

GEISMAR FACILITY INVESTIGATION
On May 11, 1999, execution of a search warrant issued by the United States
District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana in connection with an
investigation of environmental matters was commenced at the Geismar, Louisiana
facility of PCS Nitrogen Fertilizer, L.P., a partnership of certain subsidiaries
of PCS Nitrogen, Inc. ("PCS Nitrogen"). The execution of said warrant was
concluded on May 12, 1999. Also on May 11, 1999, subpoenas issued by the same
court in connection with a grand jury proceeding relating to the investigation
were served at the Geismar facility and on PCS Nitrogen at its offices in
Memphis, Tennessee. The investigation is at a preliminary stage and the Company
is in the process of complying with the subpoenas.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
(a) On May 6, 1999, the Company held an annual meeting (the "Meeting") of
its shareholders.
(b) At the Meeting, the Company's shareholders voted upon each of the
following proposed director nominees with the results of the voting set forth
opposite the name of each such nominee.
