These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2000, and the changes in its assets available for benefits for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets (held at the end of the year) as of December 31, 2000, is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Notes to Financial Statements

Years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999

1. Description of the Plan

The following description of the Savings Plan for Hourly Employees of IMC-Agrico MP, Inc. Represented by Local #968 International Chemical Workers Union (the Plan) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

General

The Plan was established on January 1, 1993. Hourly employees of the Florida Concentrated Phosphate Operations of IMC-Agrico MP, Inc. (the Company) who are represented by Local #968 International Chemical Workers Union are eligible to participate in the Plan immediately upon their date of hire. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

Contributions

The Plan is funded by contributions from participants in the form of payroll deductions of $5 to $150 per week. Under certain circumstances, participants may roll over their vested benefits from other qualified benefit plans to the Plan. The Company contributes an amount equal to $.25 per $1.00 contributed weekly by participant up to the first $25 contributed weekly by participant.

Participant Accounts

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions and allocations of: (a) the Company contributions, and (b) Plan earnings and is charged with an allocation of certain administrative expenses. Allocations are based on earnings or account balances as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's account.

Administrative Expenses

Certain administrative expenses of the Plan are borne by the Company.

Investment Programs

The Plan investments are administered by Marshall & Ilsley Trust Company. Upon joining the Plan, participants can direct their contributions to a selection of five investment fund options, two of which are pooled funds shared only by other IMC-Agrico MP, Inc. and IMC Global, Inc. 401(k) plans.

Participants may elect to change the investment direction of their existing account balances daily.

Vesting

Participants are immediately vested in their accounts.

Withdrawals

Participants may withdraw their interest in the Plan upon termination of employment. Under certain conditions of financial hardship, participants may withdraw funds, but their participation in the Plan will be suspended for at least one year. Full withdrawals are available after age 59 1/2 or in the event of total and permanent disability.

Deferred Distributions

Participants who terminate their employment and have an account balance in excess of $5,000 may elect (at any time prior to age 65) to defer receipt of distribution until no later than his or her 70th birthday.

Loans to Participants

Participants in the Plan may be granted loans subject to certain terms and maximum dollar or Plan account balance limits, as defined by the Plan. Principal repayments, which are over one to five years for general purpose loans and over one to ten years for residential loans, and related interest income are credited to the borrowing participant's account. Loan payments are made by payroll deductions. Each loan bears interest at the prevailing rate for loans of similar risk, date of maturity, and date of grant.

Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any interest to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

Except for guaranteed investment contracts, investments are stated at fair value. Fair value is the last reported sale price on the last business day of the month for securities traded on a national securities exchange and in over-the-counter markets. Fair value for shares of mutual funds, master trust funds, and the M&I Stable Principal Fund is the net asset value of those shares or units as determined by the respective funds. Loans to participants are valued at cost which approximates fair value. Guaranteed investment contracts are carried at contract value.

Net income or loss from the Master Trust is allocated monthly to each participating Plan based on the ratio of each Plan's equity to the total equity of all participating Plans prior to the allocations.

Purchases and sales of securities are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest from investments is recorded on the accrual basis.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Plan administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the 1999 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation.

3. Investment in Master Trust Funds

Assets of the Company Stock Fund and the Fixed Income Fund were invested in shares of the IMC-Agrico MP, Inc. pooled funds prior to November 1, 2000, which were shared by other IMC-Agrico MP, Inc. 401(k) plans. On November 1, 2000, the IMC-Agrico Stock Fund and IMC-Agrico Fixed Income Fund were merged into the IMC Global Stock Fund and IMC Global Fixed Income Fund, respectively. All assets were transferred on November 1, 2000. The Plan held a 2% interest in the IMC Global Stock Fund and IMC Global Fixed Income Fund at December 31, 2000. The Plan held a 4.5%, and 3% interest, respectively, in the IMC-Agrico Stock Fund and the IMC-Agrico Fixed Income Fund at December 31, 1999.

The equitable shares in the pooled funds of a participating plan are proportionate to the fair market value of the assets allocable to such participating plan.

However, the Plan administrator and the Plan's counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.
