INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF POINT LISAS NITROGEN LIMITED

We have audited the balance sheets of Point Lisas Nitrogen Limited as of June 30, 2004 and 2003 and the related statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years ended June 30, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Point Lisas Nitrogen Limited as of June 30, 2004 and 2003 and the results of its operations and cash flows for each of the three years ended June 30, 2004 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in thousands of United States Dollars)

1. Organization and operations

Farmland MissChem Limited (FMCL) was incorporated in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago in 1994 to own and operate an anhydrous ammonia plant in that country. FMCL commenced commercial operations on July 22, 1998, when the plant was commissioned. Up to May 6, 2003, Farmland Industries Inc. (FII) and Mississippi Chemical Corporation (MCC), corporations incorporated in the United States of America, were the ultimate parent companies each owning 50%. On May 7, 2003 the ownership interest of FII was acquired by Koch Mineral Services LLC, an entity organized in the United States of America. Following this change in ownership, FMCL was renamed Point Lisas Nitrogen Limited (the Company), on June 23, 2003. Koch Nitrogen International Sarl (as assignee of FII) and Mississippi Nitrogen, Inc. (as assignee of MCC) are contractually obligated to purchase 100% of the Company's production for the period of 12 years commencing the commissioning date, under terms also described elsewhere herein. Refer to Note 4 on Chapter 11 proceedings of Mississippi Chemical Corporation.

As discussed in Note 19(a) the Company's primary raw material is natural gas, which is purchased from the National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago under a 20-year "take or pay" contract dated October 18, 1996. Other principal components of cost of goods sold include water and power, which are currently available only from state monopolies in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, and certain catalysts which are available from multiple sources, except one critical catalyst which is available only via one supplier.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

a) Reporting currency and basis of presentation

Substantially all costs incurred to build the Company's operating facilities were incurred in US dollars. In addition, all sales are billed and collected in US dollars, (except for labor and contract labor which is paid in TT$) on-going operating costs are incurred and paid in US dollars or are linked to the US dollar, and long-term debt and amounts due to and from shareholders are denominated in US dollars. Accordingly, the US dollar has been selected as the reporting and functional currency for the accompanying financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America. Substantially all items of property, plant and equipment and other long-term assets are located in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.

b) Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at year end and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Expressed in thousands of United States Dollars)

2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

c) Income taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using existing tax rates. Deferred tax expense is the change during the year in the deferred tax assets and liabilities.

d) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the following basis:

i) Items purchased from third parties are valued at cost on the weighted average basis;

ii) Finished goods using the first-in first-out method are valued at total production cost which includes all direct overheads.

e) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for on the straight-line basis at varying rates sufficient to write off the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives as follows:

            Buildings and leasehold
              improvements                          -           20 years
            Plant and equipment                  -           3 to 20 years
           Other equipment                        -           3 to 15 years

Interest costs attributable to major construction projects are capitalized in the appropriate asset account and amortized over the estimated useful life of the related asset.

The Company maintains spare parts at its production facility to minimize downtime in the event of a part failure. All parts that exceed a minimum value and are repairable are capitalized as operating equipment and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Parts that do not exceed the minimum value or are not repairable are maintained as replacement parts and are included as inventory in the Company's current assets. These replacement parts are expensed when installed in the facility.

Capital spares that belong to the spare parts pools are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for on a straight-line basis to write off the cost of the asset over their estimated useful lives.

f) Debt issuance costs

Debt issuance costs, comprising syndication, organization, commitment pre and post closing fees, are stated at cost and amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the related debt. Amortization of debt issuance costs is included in financing costs.

g) Major maintenance costs (turnaround)

Major maintenance costs (turnaround) are expensed in the year in which the actual expenditure is incurred.

h) Revenue recognition

Sales revenue is recognized when title transfers to the customer upon completion of loading the shipping vessel as evidenced by the bill of lading.

i) Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers investments in highly liquid debt instruments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

3. Chapter 11 proceedings of Farmland Industries, Inc.

On May 31, 2002 (the "Petition Date"), FII a fifty percent shareholder at that time and one of the Company's two customers, and four of its US subsidiaries (collectively, the "Debtors") filed voluntary petitions for protection under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Western District of Missouri. According to the petitions, the filings were made in order to facilitate the restructuring of the Debtors' trade liabilities, debt and other obligations.

As part of the reorganization plan, FII divested its fertilizer assets which included its investment in the Company. On May 7, 2003, FII transferred its ownership interest in the Company and advances from shareholders to Koch Mineral Services LLC. In addition, FII assigned its rights to purchase the Company's production to Koch Nitrogen International Sarl.

4. Chapter 11 proceedings of Mississippi Chemical Corporation

On May 15, 2003 (the "Petition Date"), MCC a fifty percent indirect shareholder and nine of its US subsidiaries, (collectively, the "Debtors"), including Mississippi Nitrogen, Inc., one of the Company's two customers, filed voluntary petitions for protection under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of Mississippi. According to the petitions, the filings were made in order to facilitate the restructuring of the Debtors' trade liabilities, debt and other obligations.

MCC's filing resulted in a default under the Exim Bank Credit Agreement (see Note 12) as well as the Common Loan Agreement. Accordingly the long-term debt has been reclassified to a current liability.

Pursuant to the provision of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors have filed a plan of reorganization with the bankruptcy court. The principal objective of the plan of reorganization is to restructure the Debtors obligations to creditors in a manner, which permits the Debtors to continue as a viable business organization. No assurance, however can be given on the outcome of the reorganization process until the bankruptcy court approves the plan of reorganization.

These financial statements, which have been prepared on the going concern basis, do not include any other adjustments, to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts of liabilities, which are subject to the following uncertainty resulting from MCC's bankruptcy case:

- Eximbank not calling due and payable the Company's loan obligations concurrently or subsequent to the Chapter 11 proceedings of MCC.

The total sales made by the Company to Mississippi Nitrogen, Inc. for 2004, 2003 and 2002 amounted to $63,714, $38,907 and $40,058 respectively.

5. Restricted cash

The Company has entered into a Revenue Trust Agreement as a condition of the long-term financing. The Revenue Trust Agreement requires that all revenues, as defined in the agreement and which include receipts for the sale of ammonia, are to be placed into an account to be administered by the Revenue Trust Agent. Access to funds is restricted under various conditions as described in Section 6 of the Revenue Trust Agreement.

Letters of credit from both shareholders, which were required by the Revenue Trustee in prior years, are no longer necessary.

In April 2004, the Company entered into an arrangement with two other companies which own substantially similar ammonia plants in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago for the pooling of certain capital spares. Under this agreement, the Company acquired a proportionate interest in spares that these companies owned and transferred a proportionate interest in its own spares to these other companies. These transfers were done at a fair value using an indexing procedure with reference to an industry authority. The surplus arising thereon is being deferred and recognized in the income statement over the remaining useful life of the spares. The deferred gain recognized by the Company in 2004 was $41.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

12. Long-term debt (continued)

The Company has defaulted on its loan with Eximbank due to the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing of Mississippi Chemical Corporation (see Note 4). Because of this default, the Bank may declare immediately due and payable all or any portion of the principal amount. Consequently the total loan obligation to Eximbank has been reclassified as a current liability. Notwithstanding the reclassification, no action has been taken against the Company as of the date of these financial statements and therefore the Company is continuing to repay the loan obligation with Eximbank based on the original repayment schedule noted above.

The Company has received a waiver from Eximbank of the event of default discussed above, so long as:

a) There is no material adverse change in the business, property, assets, prospects, operations or financial condition of the Company; and

b) No other Event of Default under the Credit Agreement and the Common Agreement occurs.

Management does not anticipate any events of non compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the Common Agreement during the upcoming financial year.

The Revenue Trust Agreement (see Note 5) provides for a Final Holding Account, from which all funds on deposit on August 31 (the "Annual Transfer Date") shall be used either as a Mandatory Prepayment of the Eximbank loan or as a distribution to the Company subject to certain limitations and conditions. Mandatory prepayments of the Eximbank loan result in a pro-rata reduction of the remaining semi-annual installments.

The company will make a mandatory prepayment of $64,100 on August 31, 2004 against the loan balance. Consequently, each remaining semi-annual installment will be reduced by $7,122 to $3,264. Based on current cash flow projections and its obligations under the Revenue Trust Agreement, the company expects to completely repay the Eximbank loan by August 31, 2005.

The anticipated repayment schedule will be as follows:

	$'000
Year ending June 30,

15. Sales and other related parties transactions

The Company has entered into contracts for the sale of all of the Company's production of anhydrous ammonia to FII and MCC for a period of twelve years commencing July 22, 1998. In July 1999, MCC assigned this obligation to one of its subsidiary companies, Mississippi Nitrogen, Inc. On May 7, 2003, Koch Nitrogen International Sarl assumed all of the obligations of FII under the sales contract that arose after such date.

The selling price is calculated as the greater of the Ammonia Market Price less five percent (Adjusted Price) and the Ammonia Floor Price ($120 USD per metric ton for the first five years and $115 USD for the next seven years beginning December 2003). The Company is required to maintain a cumulative total of the excess value between the Ammonia Floor Price and the Adjusted Price. When the Adjusted Price exceeds the Ammonia Floor Price by an amount greater than $10 USD, the buyer will pay the Ammonia Floor Price plus $10 USD for each metric ton until the cumulative balance is exhausted. At June 30, 2004 and 2003 the cumulative total of the excess amounted to $Nil and $13,095, respectively.
