Supporting Schedules-Narrative

For the Period: September 1, 2003 to September 30, 2003

Case Number: 03-2984WEE

DISCUSSION

A

The Combined Balance Sheets and Combined Profit & Loss Statements included in this report have been restated for the months of June, July, and August. The reason for the restatement resulted from final year end adjustments that have just recently been recorded in the books of the company and subsequent to our previous filings of the respective Monthly Operating Reports.

B

In connection with our contemplated bankruptcy reorganization, our board of directors authorized our management to actively market for sale the long-lived assets of Mississippi Potash, Inc. and subsidiary (the "Potash Assets"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Accordingly, the Potash Assets have been classified as assets held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2003.

C

As required by SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," we recorded an impairment charge of approximately $34.0 million, which is reflected as a component of reorganization expense in the statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2003. Significant judgments and estimates were used in performing the impairment test in accordance with SFAS No. 144. Future events and circumstances affecting these judgments and estimates could result in additional adjustments to the carrying amount of the Potash Assets.
