Comparability of Peer Information

This information is included for comparison only. All peer group financial information included in the performance summary was obtained from publicly available reports published by the respective companies. We have not independently verified and cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information.

Readers are cautioned that, other than PotashCorp and Agrium, none of the companies identified in this group prepares its financial statements (and accompanying notes) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada (Canadian GAAP). Accounting principles generally accepted in the foreign jurisdictions in which these peers operate may vary in certain material respects from Canadian GAAP, and such differences (if and as applicable) have not been identified or quantified for this performance summary. For those companies with fiscal year-ends other than December 31, all financial information was based on the 12-month period comprising the most recent four fiscal quarters reported upon by such companies. In addition to the issues described above, the different reporting periods among the peer group may affect comparability of the information presented.
