Supporting Schedules-Narrative

For the Period: October 1, 2003 to October 31, 2003

Case Number: 03-2984WEE

DISCUSSION

A

On October 2, 2003, the Court approved certain amendments to the Interim Credit Facility to permit borrowings up to $32.5 million (the "DIP Credit Facility"). Outstanding amounts as of October 31, 2003 totaled $2,500,000.

B

On October 8, 2003, we signed a Stalking Horse Agreement with Koch Nitrogen Company ("Koch") to sell our interest in Point Lisas Nitrogen for an estimated cash amount of $92.0 million. On October 10, 2003, we filed motions with the Court seeking to approve the Stalking Horse Agreement and the auction and bid procedures for an auction of our Point Lisas Nitrogen interests to be sold in December 2003. On November 6, 2003, the Court approved our request and set the auction date for December 12, 2003. If Koch is not the successful bidder at the auction, Koch will be entitled to an estimated break-up fee of approximately $3.8 million. At September 30, 2003, our investment in Point Lisas Nitrogen was $104.3 million. The outcome of the Stalking Horse Agreement with Koch is dependent on the completion and Court approval of the bid and auction process. Due to uncertainties surrounding our recovering the recorded carrying amount of our interest in Point Lisas Nitrogen, we have not recorded our share, approximately $2.4 million, of Point Lisas Nitrogen's earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2003.
