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. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are based on International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”), and have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, “Interim Financial Reporting.” The accounting policies used in preparing these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the company’s 2013 annual consolidated financial statements, except as described below.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PCS and its subsidiaries; however, they do not include all disclosures normally provided in annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the company’s 2013 annual consolidated financial statements. In management’s opinion, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all 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 authorized by the audit committee of the Board of Directors for issue on April 29, 2014.

Standards, amendments and interpretations effective and applied

The International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) have issued the following standards and amendments or interpretations to existing standards that were effective and applied by the company.


Standard	Description	Impact
Amendments to IAS 32, Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities	Issued as part of the IASB’s offsetting project, amendments clarify certain items regarding offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities.	Adopted retrospectively effective January 1, 2014 with no change to the company’s consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 36, Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets	Amendments were issued that clarify disclosure requirements for the recoverable amount of an asset or CGU.	Adopted retrospectively effective January 1, 2014 with no change to the company’s consolidated financial statements.
IFRIC 21, Levies	Provides guidance on when to recognize a liability for a levy imposed by a government.	Adopted retrospectively effective January 1, 2014 with no change to the company’s consolidated financial statements.

Standards, amendments and interpretations not yet effective and not applied

The IASB and IFRIC have issued the following standards and amendments or interpretations to existing standards that were not yet effective and not applied at March 31, 2014. The company does not anticipate early adoption of these standards at this time.

Raw materials		81		101
Materials and supplies		210		202
	$	716	$	728

3. Available-for-Sale Investments

The company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence of impairment. A significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investment below its cost would be evidence that the asset is impaired. If objective evidence of impairment exists, the impaired amount (i.e., the unrealized loss) is recognized in net income; any subsequent reversals would be recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and would not flow back into net income. Any subsequent decline in fair value below the carrying amount at the impairment date would represent a further impairment to be recognized in net income.

During 2012, the company concluded its investment in Sinofert Holdings Limited (“Sinofert”) was impaired due to the significance by which fair value was below cost. As a result, an impairment loss of $341 was recognized in net income during 2012. At March 31, 2014, the company concluded its investment in Sinofert was further impaired due to the fair value declining below the carrying amount of $238 at the previous impairment date. As a result, an impairment loss of $38 was recognized in net income during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The fair value was determined through the market value of Sinofert shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Changes in fair value, and related accounting, for the company’s investment in Sinofert since December 31, 2013 were as follows:


							Impact of Unrealized Loss on:
	Fair Value			Unrealized Loss			OCI and AOCI			Net Income and Retained Earnings
Balance — December 31, 2013	$	254		$	(325	)	$	16		$	(341	)
Decrease in fair value and recognition of impairment		(54	)		(54	)		(16	)		(38	)
Balance — March 31, 2014	$	200		$	(379	)	$	—		$	(379	)

4. Long-Term Debt

On March 7, 2014, the company closed the issuance of $750 of 3.625 percent senior notes due March 15, 2024. The senior notes were issued under a US shelf registration statement.

On March 7, 2014, the company issued a notice of redemption for all of its outstanding $500 of 5.250 percent senior notes due May 15, 2014. On April 7, 2014, the company completed the redemption of all $500 of the senior notes at a redemption price of 100.497 percent of the principal amount of the notes redeemed plus accrued interest.

5. Share Capital

Authorized

The company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares without par value and an unlimited number of first preferred shares. The common shares are not redeemable or convertible. The first preferred shares may be issued in one or more series with rights and conditions to be determined by the Board of Directors. No first preferred shares have been issued.

Issued


	Number of Common Shares			Consideration
Balance — December 31, 2013		856,116,325		$	1,600

Repurchased		(11,722,000	)		(21	)
Balance — March 31, 2014		845,856,181		$	1,611

Share Repurchase Program

On July 24, 2013, the company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to 5 percent of PotashCorp’s outstanding common shares (up to $2,000 of its outstanding common shares) through a normal course issuer bid. Shares may be repurchased from time to time on the open market commencing August 2, 2013 through August 1, 2014 at prevailing market prices. The timing and amount of purchases under the program are dependent upon the availability and alternative uses of capital, market conditions, applicable US and Canadian regulations and other factors.

Under this program, the company repurchased for cancellation 11,722,000 common shares during the three months ended March 31, 2014, at a cost of $399 and an average price per share of $34.00. The repurchase resulted in a reduction of share capital of $21, and the excess of net cost over the average book value of the shares was recorded as a reduction of contributed surplus of $1 and a reduction of retained earnings of $377.

6. Segment Information

The company has three reportable operating segments: potash, nitrogen and phosphate. These reportable 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 and are measured in a manner consistent with that of the financial statements. The company’s operating segments have been determined based on reports reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer, its chief operating decision-maker, that are used to make strategic decisions.

7. Income Taxes

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


	Three Months Ended March 31
	2014		2013
Income tax expense	$	144	$	226
Actual effective tax rate on ordinary earnings		27%		27%
Actual effective tax rate including discrete items		30%		29%
Discrete tax adjustments that impacted the tax rate	$	2	$	19

Significant items to note include the following:

In first-quarter 2014, a non-tax deductible impairment of the company’s available-for-sale investment in Sinofert was recorded. This increased the actual effective tax rate including discrete items by 2 percent.

In first-quarter 2013, a tax expense of $15 was recorded to adjust the 2012 income tax provision.

Income tax balances within the condensed consolidated statements of financial position were comprised of the following:

8. Net Income per Share

Net income per share was calculated on the following weighted average number of shares:


	Three Months Ended March 31
	2014		2013
Basic		852,919,000		865,056,000
Diluted		859,675,000		876,672,000

Diluted net income per share was calculated based on the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding during the period, incorporating the following adjustments. The denominator was: (1) increased by the total of the additional common shares that would have been issued assuming 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 was 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 were dilutive.

Options excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share due to the options’ exercise prices being greater than the average market price of common shares were as follows:


		Three Months Ended March 31, 2014
Weighted average number of options		5,030,350
Performance Option Plan years excluded, in whole or in part		2008 through 2012

9. Financial Instruments

Fair Value

Estimated fair values for financial instruments are designed to approximate amounts at which the instruments could be exchanged in a current arm’s-length transaction between knowledgeable willing parties. The valuation policies and procedures for financial reporting purposes are determined by the company’s finance department.

Due to their short-term nature, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, short-term debt, and payables and accrued charges was assumed to approximate carrying value. The company’s derivative instruments and investments in Israel Chemicals Ltd. (“ICL”) and Sinofert were carried at fair value. The fair value of derivative instruments that are not traded in an active market (such as natural gas swaps and foreign currency derivatives) was determined using valuation techniques. The company used a variety of methods and made assumptions that were based on market conditions existing at each reporting date.

The fair value of foreign currency derivatives was determined using quoted forward exchange rates (Level 2) at the statements of financial position dates.


PotashCorp 2014 First Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q		10

Natural gas swap valuations were based on a discounted cash flow model. The inputs used in the model included contractual cash flows based on prices for natural gas futures contracts, fixed prices and notional volumes specified by the swap contracts, the time value of money, liquidity risk, the company’s own credit risk (related to instruments in a liability position) and counterparty credit risk (related to instruments in an asset position). Certain of the futures contract prices used as inputs in the model were supported by prices quoted in an active market and others were not based on observable market data.

For valuations that included both observable and unobservable data, if the unobservable input was determined to be significant to the overall inputs, the entire valuation was categorized in Level 3. For natural gas swaps, the primary input into the valuation model

was natural gas futures prices, which were based on delivery at the Henry Hub and were observable only for up to three years in the future. The unobservable futures price range at March 31, 2014 was $4.11 to $4.75 per MMBtu (December 31, 2013 — $4.00 to $4.54 per MMBtu). Changes in the unobservable natural gas futures prices would not result in significantly higher or lower fair values as any price change would be counterbalanced by offsetting derivative positions for virtually all of the company’s derivatives. Interest rates used to discount estimated cash flows at March 31, 2014 were between 0.15 percent and 3.46 percent (December 31, 2013 — between 0.17 percent and 3.59 percent) depending on the settlement date.

Fair value of investments designated as available-for-sale was based on the closing bid price of the common shares (Level 1) as of the statements of financial position dates.

The fair value of the company’s senior notes at March 31, 2014 reflected the yield valuation based on observed market prices (Level 1), which ranged from 0.62 percent to 4.74 percent (December 31, 2013 — 0.50 percent to 5.25 percent). The fair value of the company’s other long-term debt instruments approximated carrying value. Presented below is a comparison of the fair value of the company’s senior notes to their carrying values.

10. Seasonality

The company’s sales of fertilizer can be seasonal. Typically, fertilizer sales are highest in the second quarter of the year, 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.

11. Contingencies and Other Matters

Canpotex

PCS is a shareholder in Canpotex Limited (“Canpotex”), which markets Saskatchewan 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 each shareholder’s productive capacity. Through March 31, 2014, there were no such operating losses or other liabilities.

Mining Risk

The risk of underground water inflows, as with other underground risks, is currently not insured.

Legal and Other Matters

The company is engaged in ongoing site assessment and/or remediation activities at a number of facilities and sites, and anticipated costs associated with these matters are added to accrued environmental costs in the manner previously described in Note 14 to the company’s 2013 annual consolidated financial statements. This includes matters related to investigation of potential brine migration at certain of the potash sites. The following environmental site assessment and/or remediation

matters have uncertainties that may not be fully reflected in the amounts accrued for those matters:

Nitrogen and phosphate

The US Environmental Protection Agency (“USEPA”) has identified PCS Nitrogen, Inc. (“PCS Nitrogen”) as a potentially responsible party at the Planters Property or Columbia Nitrogen site in Charleston, South Carolina. The current owner of the Planters Property filed a complaint against PCS Nitrogen in the US District Court for the District of South Carolina seeking environmental response costs. 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. The district court’s judgment is now final as all appeals have been exhausted. In December 2013, the USEPA issued an order to PCS Nitrogen and four other respondents requiring them jointly and severally to conduct certain cleanup work at the site and reimburse the USEPA’s costs for overseeing that work. The USEPA also has requested reimbursement of $4 of previously incurred response costs. The ultimate amount of liability for PCS Nitrogen depends upon the final outcome of separate litigation to impose liability on additional parties, the amount needed for remedial activities, the ability of other parties to pay and the availability of insurance.

PCS Phosphate Company, Inc. (“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 a removal action and the payment of certain other costs associated with PCB soil contamination at the Ward Transformer Superfund Site in Raleigh, North Carolina (“Site”), including reimbursement of past USEPA costs. The removal


PotashCorp 2014 First Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q		12

activities commenced in August 2007 and are believed to be nearly complete. In September 2013, PCS Phosphate and other parties entered into an Administrative Order on Consent with the USEPA, pursuant to which a supplemental remedial investigation and focused feasibility study will be performed on the portion of the Site that was subject to the removal action. The completed and anticipated work on the Site is estimated to cost a total of $75. PCS Phosphate is a party to ongoing Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) contribution and cost recovery litigation for the recovery of costs of the removal activities. The USEPA has also issued an order to a number of entities requiring remediation downstream of the area subject to the removal action (“Operable Unit 1”). PCS Phosphate did not receive this order. At this time, the company is unable to evaluate the extent of any exposure that it may have for the matters addressed in the CERCLA litigation or for Operable Unit 1.

In 1996, PCS Nitrogen Fertilizer, L.P. (“PCS Nitrogen Fertilizer”), then known as Arcadian Fertilizer, L.P., entered into a Consent Order (the “Order”) with the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (“GEPD”) in conjunction with PCS Nitrogen Fertilizer’s acquisition of real property in Augusta, Georgia. Under the Order, PCS Nitrogen Fertilizer is required to perform certain activities to investigate and, if necessary, implement corrective measures for substances in soil and groundwater. The investigation has proceeded and the results have been presented to GEPD. Two interim corrective measures for substances in groundwater have been proposed by PCS Nitrogen Fertilizer and approved by GEPD. PCS Nitrogen Fertilizer is implementing the approved interim corrective measures but it is unable to estimate with reasonable certainty the total cost of its corrective action obligations under the Order at this time.

Based on current information and except for the uncertainties described in the preceding paragraphs, the company 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 legal matters with significant uncertainties include the following:

Nitrogen and phosphate

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 alleged violations of the US Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) at its plants in Aurora, North Carolina; Geismar, Louisiana; and White Springs, Florida; and one alleged Clean Air Act (“CAA”) violation at its Geismar,

Louisiana plant. The company has entered into RCRA 3013 Administrative Orders on Consent and has performed certain site assessment activities at all of these plants. At this time, the company does not know the scope of action, if any, that may be required. As to the alleged RCRA violations, 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.

The USEPA has pursued an initiative to evaluate compliance with the CAA at sulfuric acid and nitric acid plants. In connection with this industry-wide initiative, it 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 and the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality have notified the company of various alleged violations of the CAA at its Geismar, Louisiana plant. In May 2012, the USEPA issued to the company’s White Springs, Florida plant a Notice of Violation alleging that certain specified projects at the sulfuric acid plants were undertaken in violation of the CAA. While the company disputes the alleged violations, in May 2013, the company reached a tentative agreement to resolve the alleged violations without admitting any liability. The tentative agreement is subject to a variety of conditions, including the approval of the company’s Board of Directors and the negotiation of acceptable final agreements. The tentative agreement involves capital improvements, process changes and penalties for the company’s sulfuric acid plants in Aurora, North Carolina; Geismar, Louisiana; and White Springs, Florida that are currently estimated to cost at least $51, but the company is uncertain if a final agreement can be concluded. If a final agreement cannot be concluded and litigation subsequently occurs, the company is uncertain what the outcome would be.

In December 2010, the USEPA issued a final rule to restrict nutrient concentrations in surface waters in Florida to levels below those currently permitted to be discharged from the company’s White Springs, Florida plant. In November 2012, the USEPA approved numeric nutrient criteria rules in their entirety which had been adopted by the State of Florida. These state rules could ultimately substitute for the federal rules. In March 2013, the USEPA and the State of Florida announced an Agreement in Principle and Path Forward with the goal being to make the promulgation of federal water quality standards no longer necessary in Florida. The USEPA is now expected to take steps to repeal its rule on numeric nutrient criteria which would allow the adopted and approved state rule to take legal effect. In the meantime, the company continues to monitor and evaluate actions related to both the federal and state rules. Due to the possibility of additional legal challenges, the prospects for implementation of either the federal or the state rules and the availability of the site-specific relief mechanisms under either rule


13		PotashCorp 2014 First Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q

remain uncertain. However, if the state rules become the governing rules, the company believes White Springs meets the criteria for site-specific relief and expects to apply for relief that would, if granted by the state, obviate the need for the expenditure of some or all of the capital costs previously projected for controls under the USEPA rule.

General

There is no certainty as to the scope or timing of any final, effective requirements to control greenhouse gas emissions in the US or Canada. Canada has withdrawn from participation in the Kyoto Protocol, and the Canadian government has announced its intention to coordinate greenhouse gas policies with the US. Although the US Congress has not passed any greenhouse gas emission control laws, the USEPA has adopted several rules to control such emissions using authority under existing environmental laws. Some Canadian provinces and US states are considering the adoption of greenhouse gas emission control requirements. In Saskatchewan, provincial regulations pursuant to the Management and Reduction of Greenhouse Gases Act, 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 2014. None of these regulations has resulted in material limitations on greenhouse gas emissions at the company’s facilities. The company is monitoring these developments and their future effect on its operations cannot be determined with certainty at this time.

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.

12. Related Party Transactions

The company sells potash from its Saskatchewan mines for use outside Canada and the US exclusively to Canpotex, a potash export, sales and marketing company owned in equal shares by the three producers in Saskatchewan. Sales are at prevailing market prices and are settled on normal trade terms. Sales to Canpotex for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $249 (2013 — $375). At March 31, 2014, $144 (December 31, 2013 — $166) was owing from Canpotex.

13. Comparative Figures

Prior periods’ figures within Note 6 have been reclassified to disclose the impact of the margin (cost) on inter-segment sales separate from third-party transactions. Previously, these amounts were included as additions or reductions to cost of goods sold in each segment. There was no change in gross margin, by segment or in total. The company believes these reclassifications provide more succinct information. Additionally, comparative figures related to nitrogen inter-segment sales in Note 6 have been reduced by $26 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, to exclude sales within the same operating segment. These adjustments had no effect on any other amounts within the consolidated financial statements.

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

The following discussion and analysis is the responsibility of management and is as of April 29, 2014. 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 PotashCorp, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (Form 10-K), can be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. The company is a foreign private issuer under the rules and regulations of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC); however, it currently files voluntarily on the SEC’s domestic forms.

PotashCorp and Our Business Environment

PotashCorp is an integrated producer of fertilizer, industrial and animal feed products. We are the world’s largest fertilizer company by capacity, producing the three primary crop nutrients: potash (K), nitrogen (N) and phosphate (P). As the world’s largest potash producer by capacity, we are responsible for nearly one-fifth of global capacity through our Canadian operations. To enhance our global footprint, we have investments in four potash-related businesses in South America, the Middle East and Asia. We complement our potash assets with focused positions in nitrogen and phosphate.

A detailed description of our market and customers can be found on pages 54 and 55 (potash), 65 (nitrogen) and 73 (phosphate) in our 2013 Annual Integrated Report.

PotashCorp Strategy

Our business strategy is detailed on pages 20 to 23 in our 2013 Annual Integrated Report. Key strategies, risks and mitigation are outlined for each of our nutrients on pages 52 (potash), 63 (nitrogen) and 71 (phosphate) in our 2013 Annual Integrated Report.

Key Performance Drivers — Performance Compared to Targets

Through our integrated value model, we set, evaluate and refine our goals and priorities to drive improvements that benefit all those impacted by our business. We demonstrate our accountability by tracking and reporting our progress against targets related to each goal. Our long-term goals and 2014 targets are set out on pages 40 to 50 of our 2013 Annual Integrated Report. A summary of our progress against selected goals and representative annual targets is set out below.


Goal	Representative 2014 Annual Target	Performance to March 31, 2014
Create superior long-term shareholder value.	Exceed total shareholder return performance for our sector and the DAXglobal Agribusiness Index.	PotashCorp’s total shareholder return was 11 percent in the first three months of 2014 compared to our sector’s weighted average return (based on market capitalization) of 6 percent and the DAXglobal Agribusiness Index weighted average return (based on market capitalization) of 1 percent.
Be the supplier of choice to the markets we serve.	Reduce domestic potash net rail cycle time through the Chicago corridor by 10 percent in 2014, compared to 2011 levels.	Severe and prolonged winter weather throughout Canada and the United States, combined with increased rail shipments for grain and other commodities, impacted service for all rail customers. Our first quarter 2014 net rail cycle time through the Chicago corridor was 49 percent above the benchmark 2011 first quarter and 48 percent above the average of the prior three first quarter periods. We are seeing service improvements in the second quarter but backlogs persist for all rail shippers and we do not anticipate a quick return to historical net cycle times.
Attract and retain talented, motivated and productive employees who are committed to our long-term goals.	Fill 75 percent of senior staff openings with qualified internal candidates.	The percentage of senior staff positions filled internally in the first three months of 2014 was 100 percent.
Achieve no harm to people.	Achieve zero life-altering injuries at our sites.	Tragically, we had a fatality at our Cory potash facility during the first quarter of 2014.
	Reduce total site recordable injury rate to 0.95 (per 200,000 hours worked) or lower.	During the first three months of 2014, total site recordable injury rate was 1.06.
Achieve no damage to the environment.	Reduce total reportable incidents (releases, permit excursions and spills) by 15 percent from 2013 levels.	Annualized total reportable incidents were up 18 percent during the first three months of 2014 compared to 2013 annual levels. Compared to the first three months of 2013, total reportable incidents were down 29 percent.

Earnings in the first quarter of 2014 were lower than the first quarter of 2013 due mostly to lower potash prices. Lower sales prices in nitrogen more than offset higher sales volumes. Phosphate was impacted by both lower prices and sales volumes.

Potash demand and spot market pricing strengthened throughout the first quarter. In North America, demand was robust as fertilizer distributors worked to position product ahead of the spring planting season. Even as shipments from domestic producers climbed 48 percent above those during the same period last year, ongoing rail constraints — precipitated by difficult winter conditions and a record grain harvest in Canada — kept dealer supplies tight. Although demand from Brazil and Southeast Asian countries strengthened, North American producers’ offshore shipments fell slightly below those of the same period last year as

logistical challenges constrained their abilities to satisfy all demands for product. Offshore sales were further impacted by delayed supply contracts with Chinese and Indian buyers relative to 2013. Amidst strengthening market fundamentals, potash prices in all spot markets increased from the beginning of 2014 — most notably for granular product — but remained well below those of the comparative period in 2013.

In nitrogen, first-quarter ammonia production in the US reached its highest level in more than a decade as additional capacity came online and producers responded to strong agricultural and industrial demand. While ammonia prices trailed the historically high levels of 2013 — a period characterized by especially strong demand and supply challenges in key producing regions — they moved up sharply as the quarter came to a close. Demand for


PotashCorp 2014 First Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q		16

urea was also robust ahead of the North American spring planting season. With imports lower than those of the previous year, North American supply tightened and urea prices strengthened over the course of the quarter, although key benchmarks remained below those of the same period in 2013.

Production and logistical challenges also impacted global phosphate markets. This was especially true in North America where a combination of supply disruptions and an improved demand environment caused prices for all phosphate fertilizer products to strengthen during the quarter. Despite this move upward, weak market fundamentals through the second half of 2013 kept pricing levels for the quarter below those of the comparative period last year.

Other significant factors that affected earnings quarter over quarter were lower income taxes (due to decreased ordinary earnings before taxes and fewer discrete tax adjustments), a special dividend received from Israel Chemicals Ltd. (ICL) (none in the first three months of 2013) and a non-tax deductible charge related to the impairment of our investment in Sinofert Holdings Limited (Sinofert) in first-quarter 2014. Other comprehensive income mainly consisted of an increase in the fair value of our investment in ICL. Other comprehensive income for the first quarter of 2013 was mainly the result of an increase in the fair value of our investments in ICL and Sinofert.

h Equity was impacted by net income and other comprehensive income (both discussed in more detail above), dividends declared and common shares repurchased for cancellation (see Note 5 to the financial statements in this Form 10-Q) during the first three months of 2014.

Cash and cash equivalents held in certain foreign subsidiaries were $13 million at March 31, 2014, down from $480 million at December 31, 2013 as a result of a repatriation of funds in the first quarter of 2014. There are no current plans to repatriate the funds at March 31, 2014 in a taxable manner.

Operating Segment Review

We report our results (including gross margin) in three business segments: potash, nitrogen and phosphate as described in Note 6 to the financial statements in this Form 10-Q. Our reporting structure reflects how we manage our business and how we classify our operations for planning and measuring performance. We include net sales in segment disclosures in the financial statements in this Form 10-Q pursuant to IFRS, which require segmentation based upon our internal organization and reporting of revenue and profit measures. 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, nitrogen and phosphate 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. Realized prices refer to net sales prices. Certain of the prior years’ figures within the nitrogen segment have been reclassified to conform with the current year’s presentation as disclosed in Note 13 to the financial statements in this Form 10-Q.

Our discussion of segment operating performance is set out below and includes nutrient product and/or market performance results, where applicable, to give further insight into these results.

Production

Potash production increased due to the reduction in shutdown weeks as discussed above.

Safety

Tragically, we had a fatality at our Cory potash facility during the first quarter of 2014.

Employee

Three senior staff positions were filled in the first quarter of 2014. In the same period in 2013 there were no relevant transfers or hires.

Environmental

Environmental incidents in the first three months of 2014 included brine and slurry pipeline failures resulting in brine spills. Environmental incidents in the first three months of 2013 were due largely to several failures of refrigerant lines in new HVAC units installed at New Brunswick.

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

Net Sales Prices

Cost of Goods Sold

i Ammonia prices fell from historically high levels in the first quarter of 2013, which was affected by strong demand and supply challenges in key producing regions.

h Average costs, including our hedge position, for natural gas used as feedstock in production decreased 11 percent. Costs for natural gas used as feedstock in Trinidad production fell 29 percent (contract price indexed, in part, to Tampa ammonia prices) while our US spot costs for natural gas increased 40 percent. Including losses on our hedge position, US gas prices rose 22 percent.

h The cost of goods sold variance for ammonia and urea mainly reflected decreased costs for natural gas used as feedstock in Trinidad production exceeding increased US natural gas costs, but to a greater extent in ammonia than in urea.

h The cost of goods sold variance was better for solutions, nitric acid and ammonium nitrate due mainly to the impact of costs associated with Geismar in 2013 that did not repeat in 2014.

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

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

Net Sales Prices

Sales Volumes

Cost of Goods Sold

Weaker fertilizer market conditions through the second half of 2013 weighed on our first-quarter 2014 realizations.

Volumes fell as weather-related production issues reduced operating rates across all our facilities and constrained our sales for the quarter.

Sulfur costs were down 36 percent and ammonia costs were down 25 percent, reducing our cost of goods sold.

Depreciation was higher due to accelerated depreciation as a result of operational changes announced in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Production

Phosphate production was limited due to unusually cold weather at Aurora and White Springs during the first quarter of 2014.

Safety

The total site recordable injury rate for phosphate increased due to eight recordable injuries occurring in the first quarter of 2014 (compared to four in the same period in 2013) and fewer hours being worked in 2014.

Employee

In the first three months of 2014, all 6 senior staff positions were filled internally while only one out of two positions were filled internally in the same period in 2013.

Share of earnings of equity-accounted investees pertains primarily to Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile S.A. (SQM) and Arab Potash Company (APC).

The company received a special dividend of $69 million from ICL in the first quarter of 2014 (none in the first quarter of 2013).

As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements in this Form 10-Q, a non-tax deductible impairment loss of $38 million was recorded in net income on our investment in Sinorfert during the three months ended March 31, 2014. No such losses were recognized in 2013.

Weighted average debt obligations outstanding and the associated interest rates were as follows:

LOGO

For the first quarter, income taxes decreased due to lower ordinary earnings before taxes and fewer discrete tax adjustments. Effective tax rates and discrete items were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31
Dollars (millions), except percentage amounts	2014		2013
Actual effective tax rate on ordinary earnings		27%		27%
Actual effective tax rate including discrete items		30%		29%
Discrete tax adjustments that impacted the rate		$2		$19

Significant items to note include the following:

•

In first-quarter 2014, a non-tax deductible impairment of the company’s available-for-sale investment in Sinofert was recorded increasing the 2014 actual effective tax rate including discrete items by 2 percent.

•

In first-quarter 2013, a tax expense of $15 million was recorded to adjust the prior year income tax provision.

For first-quarter 2014, 68 percent of the effective tax rate on the current year’s ordinary earnings pertained to current income taxes (2013 — 54 percent) and 32 percent related to deferred income taxes (2013 — 46 percent). The increase in the current portion was largely due to lower tax depreciation partially offset by a drawdown of intercompany inventory.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Requirements

Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments

Our contractual obligations and other commitments detailed on pages 84 and 85 of our 2013 Annual Integrated Report summarize certain of our liquidity and capital resource requirements, excluding obligations that have original maturities of less than one year, planned (but not legally committed) capital expenditures or potential share repurchases. The issuance of $750 million of 3.625 percent senior notes due March 15, 2024 during the first quarter of 2014 increased our long-term debt obligations and estimated annual interest payments of $27 million on long-term debt obligations in our contractual obligations and other commitments table referenced above. On April 7, 2014, the company completed the early redemption of all its outstanding $500 million of 5.250 percent senior notes due May 15, 2014.

Capital Expenditures

Based on anticipated exchange rates, during 2014 we expect to incur capital expenditures, including capitalized interest, of approximately $550 million for opportunity capital and approximately $620 million to sustain operations at existing levels and for major repairs and maintenance (including plant turnarounds).

Page 62 of our 2013 Annual Integrated Report outlines key potash construction projects and their expected total cost, as well as the impact of these projects on capacity expansion/debottlenecking and any expected remaining spending on each project still in progress. The most significant of these potash projects⁽¹⁾ on which funds are expected to be spent in 2014, excluding capitalized interest, are outlined in the table below:


CDN Dollars (millions)	2014 Forecast		Total Forecast⁽²⁾		Started		Expected Completion⁽³⁾ (Description)	Forecasted Remaining Spending (after 2014)⁽²⁾
New Brunswick	$	110	$	2,160		2007	2014 (mine shaft and mill)	$	260
Rocanville, Saskatchewan	$	190	$	2,810		2008	2015 (mine shaft and mill)	$	40

⁽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⁾	Amounts are based on the most recent forecast amounts approved by the Board of Directors, and are subject to change based on project timelines and costs.

⁽³⁾	Excludes ramp-up time. We expect these projects will be fully ramped up by the end of 2015, subject to market conditions.

In 2013, we began an expansion of ammonia production at our Lima, Ohio plant. We are investing approximately $190 million through the fourth quarter of 2015 ($100 million in 2014) to increase our capacity in ammonia (88,000 tons) and urea (80,000 tons).

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

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 March 31

The following graph presents summarized working capital information.

LOGO

Page 87 of our 2013 Annual Integrated Report explains liquidity needs that can be met through a variety of sources and the primary uses of funds.

Cash provided by operating activities was lower quarter over quarter due primarily to:

Lower quarterly net income in 2014;

A lower non-cash provision for deferred income taxes;

Decreased cash inflows from receivables in the first quarter of 2014 exceeding decreased cash inflows in the first quarter of 2013.

Cash used in investing activities was primarily for additions to property, plant and equipment, of which approximately 56 percent in the first quarter of 2014 (2013 — 70 percent) related to the potash segment.

Cash used in financing activities rose quarter over quarter and was mainly impacted by the issuance of senior notes (none in 2013), commercial paper repayments in 2014 as compared to commercial paper issuances in 2013, share repurchases in 2014 (none in 2013) and repayment of senior notes in 2013 (none in the first three months of 2014).

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

Principal Debt Instruments

LOGO

⁽¹⁾

The authorized aggregate amount under the company’s commercial paper programs in Canada and the US is $2,500 million. The amounts available under the commercial paper programs are limited to the availability of backup funds under the credit facility. Included in the amount outstanding and committed was $NIL of commercial paper.

We use a combination of short-term and long-term debt to finance our operations. We typically pay floating rates of interest on our short-term debt and credit facility, and fixed rates on our senior notes.

During the first quarter of 2014, there were no significant changes to the nature of our outstanding commercial paper, including interest rates, syndicated credit facility, short-term line of credit and uncommitted letter of credit facility described on Page 88 in our 2013 Annual Integrated Report.

The line of credit and credit facility have financial tests and covenants, including consequences of non-compliance, referenced on page 88 of our 2013 Annual Integrated Report with which we must comply at each quarter-end. We were in compliance with all covenants as at March 31, 2014 and at this time anticipate being in compliance with such covenants in 2014.


27		PotashCorp 2014 First Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q

The accompanying table summarizes the limits and results of certain covenants:


Debt covenants at March 31
Dollars (millions), except ratio amounts	Limit		2014
Debt-to-capital ratio⁽¹⁾	£	0.60		0.3
Long-term debt-to-EBITDA ratio⁽²⁾	£	3.5		1.1
Debt of subsidiaries	<$	1,000	$	6

The following non-IFRS financial measures are requirements of our debt covenants and should not be considered as a substitute for, nor superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS:

⁽¹⁾	Debt-to-capital ratio = debt (short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt + long-term debt) / (debt + shareholders’ equity).

⁽²⁾

Long-term debt-to-EBITDA ratio = long-term debt / EBITDA. EBITDA is calculated according to the definition in Note 9 to the 2013 audited annual consolidated financial statements for the trailing 12 months. As compared to net income according to IFRS, EBITDA is limited in that periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues are excluded. Long-term debt to net income for the trailing 12 months was 2.4.

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 would increase the interest rates applicable to borrowings under our credit facility 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.

Our $4,250 million of outstanding senior notes were issued under US shelf registration statements.

For the first three months of 2014, our weighted average cost of capital was 9.5 percent (2013 — 9.4 percent), of which 88 percent represented the cost of equity (2013 — 90 percent).

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.


PotashCorp 2014 First Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q		28

In the first quarter of 2014 and second quarter of 2012, earnings were impacted by $38 million and $341 million, respectively, of non-tax deductible impairment losses on our available-for-sale investment in Sinofert due to the significance by which fair value was below cost.

Critical Accounting Estimates

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimate policies in the first three months of 2014.

We have 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 Form 10-Q.

Recent Accounting Changes

Refer to Note 1 to the financial statements in this Form 10-Q for information pertaining to accounting changes effective in 2014 and for information on issued accounting pronouncements that will be effective in future periods.

Risk Management

Execution of our corporate strategy requires an effective program to manage the associated risks.

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 regularly to the Board of Directors through the committees, which focus on risks within their areas of oversight. Detailed discussion of the PotashCorp “Global Risk Perspective” can be found on pages 24 - 28 of our 2013 Annual Integrated Report as well as in our Form 10-K. Risk management discussions specific to potash, nitrogen and phosphate operations can be found on pages 52, 63, and 71 respectively of the 2013 Annual Integrated Report.

The greatest potential risks to potash reported in the 2013 Annual Integrated Report include market supply imbalances which may result from fluctuations in global demand for product, global potash demand insufficient to consume PotashCorp capacity, physical risks particular to underground mines (such as unexpected underground rock falls and water inflow from underground water-bearing strata) and safety related risks.

We mitigate the potash market imbalance and insufficient demand risks by managing production to meet market demand. Underground mine risk mitigation activities include the use of advanced geophysical surveys, microseismic monitoring, rock mechanics modeling, ground penetrating radar, training and procedures and protective structures. We mitigate the risk of unsafe actions or conditions by enhancing safety systems at all sites. 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

Market Outlook

Recent potash contracts in China and India as well as a strong order book in key spot markets are expected to create an environment that should support robust shipment levels through at least the next two quarters. While we are beginning to see an improvement in rail deliveries help address the backlog of orders from the first quarter, significant product demands are expected to keep pressure on North American carriers. We continue to work closely with our transportation partners to minimize disruptions although these conditions are expected to result in ongoing tight global market fundamentals. For the full year, we maintain our view that global potash shipments could be in the range of 55-57 million tonnes.

In North America, we expect strong demand at the farm level to continue and securing potash to remain a top priority for distributors. With rail carrier backlogs limiting producers’ ability to recharge warehouse systems, sales volumes for the second quarter could be constrained — although the delayed start to the spring planting season is expected to provide some relief. For the full year, we maintain our view that total shipments to North America could approximate 9-9.5 million tonnes.

Potash demand in Latin America is expected to remain strong as farmers strive to increase crop production by planting more acres and enhancing soil fertility. We anticipate imports to this market will accelerate through the second quarter and remain robust through the seasonally strong July to October period. For the year, we forecast potash shipments to Latin America of approximately 10.5 million tonnes, including what could be record demand from Brazil.

With first-half Chinese contracts in place for all major global potash suppliers — including Canpotex — shipments to this market are expected to accelerate through the second quarter. First-half volume commitments are likely to meet a significant portion of China’s estimated import needs for 2014, and we anticipate a modest level of additional seaborne imports will be required during the second half. For the full year, we forecast total demand will approximate 11.5 million tonnes.

In India, the recent settlement of new supply contracts — including a 1 million tonne agreement with Canpotex — is expected to provide a base load of tonnage through the remaining three quarters of 2014. While fertilizer subsidies continue to remain a near-term challenge in achieving more robust demand levels, we expect 2014 shipments to India will approximate 3.5-4.0 million tonnes, exceeding the 2013 total.

In Other Asian countries (outside of China and India), low inventories and supportive crop prices are expected to help generate stronger demand in 2014. We forecast total potash shipments in the range of 8.0-8.3 million tonnes, exceeding those of 2013.

Financial Outlook

Given a slightly improved potash pricing and demand outlook, we have increased our annual estimate for potash gross margin to $1.1-$1.3 billion and sales volumes to 8.3-8.7 million tonnes.

Our estimates include the benefit of our Canpotex allocation run at Allan, which is nearing completion. With results to this point surpassing our initial expectations, we anticipate our Canpotex entitlement will exceed 53 percent for the second half of 2014. Additionally, operational changes at our potash facilities have begun to reduce our per-tonne cost of goods sold and we anticipate further improvement during the second quarter. While we expect slightly elevated per-tonne costs in the third quarter due to our planned maintenance shutdowns, we remain on track to achieve our targeted $15-$20 per-tonne reduction in cash costs from 2013 levels.

In nitrogen, recent pricing strength has improved the near-term outlook. We anticipate typical seasonal trends will result in slightly weaker margins through the second half of 2014, although our higher sales volumes expectations should partially offset this impact. For the full year, we anticipate total gross margin will remain historically high but trail 2013’s total.

In phosphate, we expect prices for all products to be below those of 2013. While the weather-related operating challenges we recently faced appear to be behind us, weaker gross margin contributions during the first quarter have lowered our full-year expectations. The planned closure of a chemical plant at our White Springs operation is anticipated to result in slightly lower sales volumes in the second half of the year (approximately 0.1 million tonnes of P₂O₅) and keep our non-cash costs elevated as we accelerate depreciation for these assets (anticipated at $43 million for full-year 2014).

We have increased our annual estimate of income from offshore investments to a range of $230-$240 million to include the special dividend received from ICL during the first quarter.

Based on these factors, we have adjusted our full-year 2014 guidance to $1.50-$1.80, which includes second-quarter net income in the range of $0.40-$0.45 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, contain forward-looking statements or forward-looking information (“forward-looking statements”).

These statements often contain words such as “should,” “could,” “expect,” “may,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “estimates,” “plans” and similar expressions. 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. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. The results or events set forth in forward-looking statements may differ materially from actual results or events. Several factors could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements including, but not limited to the following: variations from our assumptions with respect to foreign exchange rates, expected growth, results of operations, performance, business prospects and opportunities, and effective tax rates; risks and uncertainties related to operating and workforce changes made in response to our industry and the markets we serve; changes in

competitive pressures, including pricing pressures; risks and uncertainties related to our international operations and assets; fluctuations in supply and demand in the fertilizer, sulfur, transportation and petrochemical markets; costs and availability of transportation and distribution for our raw materials and products, including railcars and ocean freight; adverse or uncertain economic conditions and changes in credit and financial markets; the results of sales contract negotiations within major markets; unexpected geological or environmental conditions, including water inflows; economic and political uncertainty around the world; risks associated with natural gas and other hedging activities; changes in capital markets; unexpected or adverse weather conditions; changes in currency and exchange rates; imprecision in reserve estimates; adverse developments in new and pending legal proceedings or government investigations; acquisitions we may undertake; increases in the price or reduced availability of the raw materials that we use; strikes or other forms of work stoppage or slowdowns; timing and impact of capital expenditures; rates of return on, and the risks associated with, our investments and capital expenditures; changes in, and the effects of, government policies and regulations; security risks related to our information technology systems; risks related to reputational loss; and earnings, and the decisions of taxing authorities, 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, 2013 under the captions “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Item 1A — Risk Factors” and in our 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 any 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 2013 Annual Integrated Report, pages 24 to 28.

Price, foreign exchange and interest rate risks faced by the company and how we manage those risks are outlined in Notes 11 and 24 to the 2013 audited annual consolidated financial statements and there were no significant changes as at March 31, 2014, except as noted below.

Price Risk

The carrying amount of our investments in ICL and Sinofert was $1,734 million at March 31, 2014 (December 31, 2013 — $1,722 million). A 10 percent increase in the prices of these investments would increase other comprehensive income by $173 million, while a 10 percent decrease would reduce other comprehensive


31		PotashCorp 2014 First Quarter Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q

income by $153 million and an impairment of $20 million for our investment in Sinofert would be recognized in net income. At March 31, 2014, this analysis assumed that price decreases related to the company’s investment in ICL would not represent an impairment, price decreases related to the company’s investment in Sinofert below the carrying amount at the impairment date of March 31, 2014 ($200 million) would represent an impairment, and all other variables remain constant.

As at March 31, 2014, the company had natural gas derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting in the form of swaps, which represented a notional amount of 16 million MMBtu (December 31, 2013 — NIL) with maturities in 2015 through 2017. There were no substantial changes to price sensitivities reported in Note 24 to the 2013 audited annual consolidated financial statements.

Foreign Exchange Risk

As at March 31, 2014, the company had entered into foreign currency forward contracts to sell US dollars and receive Canadian dollars in the notional amount of $60 million (December 31, 2013 — $148 million) at an average exchange rate of 1.1114 (December 31, 2013 — 1.0569) per US dollar with maturities in 2014. There were no substantial changes to the US dollar sensitivities reported in Note 24 to the 2013 audited annual consolidated financial statements.

Interest Rate Risk

As at March 31, 2014, the company had no significant exposure to interest rate risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2014, 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 March 31, 2014, 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 March 31, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
