US$800/ton FOB Tampa Added capacity in 2009 will ease rates slightly but the market will remain tight until 2011 Phosphoric traded global spot prices are set primarily by supply demand in the import export market place In this value chain the constraint is phosphoric acid capacity, and tightness here is what sets the total producer margins from rock to product Traded phosphoric acid supply demand sets prices for the value chain The first supply demand consideration is the import and export supply demand balance which shows extremely tight supply demand for phosphoric acid We believe that capacity utilisation will be operating at or close to its theoretical maximum in 2008 and similarly in 2009 Utilisation eases in 2010 with the addition of new capacity but this should be taken in the context of historical average operating rates – and is by no means what we could consider to be a utilisation downturn Traded acid capacity utilisation levels are close to their maximum of 98% Chart

Morocco phosphoric acid capacity utilisation in 2007 was estimated to be 90% where as DAP/MAP capacity utilisation was at about 55% Hence acid supply has historically been the bottleneck Granular end product capacity utilisations are not a reliable indicator of phosphate supply demand UBS UBS Global I/OTM: Phosphate Fertiliser February 2008 Chart 4: US capacity utilisation rates 100% 95% 90% 85%

situation in that in actual fact most of the producer margins are being captured at the phosphoric acid to granular end product phases rather than at the bottleneck that is phosphoric acid production The reason for this is that rock and acid supply has historically been priced according to long term contracts As these expire we would expect acid and rock prices to move upwards Most traded fertiliser stocks are fully integrated to the granulation stage and sell little or no acid or rock directly Rock and acid price adjustment though will be an added catalyst to support end product prices Most producer margins are being captured at the granulation stage but we believe this will become more equitable when long term rock and acid supply contracts are renewed Chart 5: Phosphate

outstrip investment hurdle requirements for the acid and DAP stages Pure rock exports have the thinnest cash margins net of cost of financing At current prices there are significant incentives for investment in capacity An additional observation is that pure rock suppliers have an incentive for increased margin capture from customers Access to deposits though are to a Cash margins outstrip costs of investment and a strong pull exists for investment in capacity UBS UBS Global I/OTM: Phosphate Fertiliser February 2008 large degree restricted to the incumbent state owned enterprises of

and acid value creep will push up overall prices and margins Rock and acid producers will increase acid prices considerably when renewing contracts this year This will likely erode non integrated granular fertiliser margins This could impact marginal capacity and increase granulation plant utilisation rates Rock and granular fertilisers are subjected to escalations in bulk shipping rates while acid is subject to tanker rates which have been more stable Producers are most likely to thus favour the sale of acid at raised prices India is the largest importer of phosphoric acid taking more than 50% of traded material This is utilised by non integrated producers in India to produce granular DAP, MAP and TSP Indian and Western European producers are the most vulnerable to these price increases This reduced profitability of non integrated granulators will tighten the supply market Rock and acid prices are expected to increase in 08 & 09 India is the most vulnerable to rising acid and rock prices All stocks under coverage by UBS are fully integrated back to phosphate mining and hence are not exposed to changes in rock and acid pricing to any great degree UBS UBS Global I/OTM: Phosphate

Source: FRC, UBS Historically both rock and acid pricing has been under long term contracts of a year or more This is the primary reason as to why acid margins have not captured a larger proportion of the cash margins for the value chain Granular products on the other hand have a liquid spot market and have rapidly translated capacity tightness as most traders of granular products are fully integrated back to the mined rock Acid exports are very consolidated with five state owned firms controlling more than 75% of the market Moroccan, Tunisian, South African, Senegalese and Jordanian production is largely state controlled Chart 8: 2007 exported volumes of phosphoric acid % of 4.8m tons P2O5 Rock and acid historically were traded under long term contracts Traded acid supply is

drive capacity build With cash margins as strong as they are at present, we anticipate increased momentum towards capacity build Incentives for capacity build are high and this will happen The market will peak in 2008 Significant capacity addition is planned for 2010 and 2011 which will drop export utilisation rates to 90% We expect to see some easing on granulated price pressure, though 08 & 09

numerous nitrogen plants, two phosphate plants and one potash mine and a large retail business While it is the largest North American nitrogen producer in potash it has one low cost mine in Canada that can be expanded In phosphate Agrium has a profitable niche business in the Western part of North America, thus we believe Agrium should benefit from higher Potash and Phosphate prices but its largest leverage is in nitrogen Potash Corp PotashCorp is one of the world's largest and lowest-cost publicly traded potash producers and is also the world's third-largest phosphate producer Thus the company is better known for its exposure to potash and phosphate two commodities which UBS also has a very positive outlook Its potash reserves are sufficient for over 100 years of production The company controls over 50% of the World’s excess potash capacity and has always followed a price leadership strategy where it has matched production to sales Thus we believe it is well positioned to benefit from higher potash prices Potash Corp is also the one of the World’s largest phosphate producers and has a very good phosphate rock position with reserves that should last more than 50 years Its North Carolina plant is one of the worlds lowest cost producers of phosphoric acid, the feedstock for many fertiliser products Thus we expect Potash Corp is well positioned to capture phosphate values Potash Corp is one of the world’s largest nitrogen companies with plants in the US and a large complex in Trinidad which allows it to benefit from higher ammonia prices due to its low feedstock cost position Israel Chemicals We believe Israel Chemicals is well positioned to benefit in the coming years from rising potash and phosphates prices In 3Q07, potash accounted for 30% of the company’s sales and 57% of its EBIT Phosphates accounted for additional 17% of sales and 20% of EBIT, bringing fertilizers to 47% and 78%, respectively Other segments include industrial products (brominated flame retardants, oil drilling, etc.) and performance products (downstream phosphates used in the food industry and other) ICL has capacity of around 1.7 million ton of phosphates fertilizers (GTSP) The company’s utilizes its own source of phosphate rock and phosphoric acid In 2006, the company produced 2.949 million tons of phosphate rock and 504,000 tons of acid This vertically integrated cost structure limits ICL’s exposure in terms of rising input costs mainly to sulphur UBS 11 UBS Global I/OTM: Phosphate Fertiliser February 2008 Incitec Pivot Incitec is the sole producer of fertilisers in eastern Australia It produces 480kt of urea and equivalents from its Gibson Island plant in Brisbane and 1mt of MAP/DAP from the Phosphate Hill plant in north Queensland It is also the largest importer and distributer of fertiliser in Australia Both are low cost plants delivered into eastern Australian markets In general the customer base is extremely competitive in Asian markets This is particularly true for wheat, barley, sorghum, sugar and dairy products Presuming normal weather patterns we would expect IPL to have an excellent year in fiscal 2008 ■ Statement of Risk The fertiliser market is strongly influenced both global and regional supply demand balances, as well as input and shipping costs Unpredictable events in particular weather related ones can rapidly alter these balances and hence influence prices ■ Analyst Certification Each research analyst primarily responsible for the content of this research report, in whole or in part, certifies that with respect to
