Forward-looking statements
PotashCorp advises that documents and information placed on the Site may contain forward-looking statements subject to risks and uncertainties. Statements containing words such as "could", "expect", "may", "anticipate", "believe", "intend", "estimate", "plan" and similar expressions constitute forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain factors and assumptions including foreign exchange rates, expected growth, results of operations, performance, business prospects and opportunities, and effective income tax rates. While PotashCorp considers these factors and assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available, they may prove to be incorrect. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: fluctuations in supply and demand in fertilizer, sulfur, transportation and petrochemical markets; changes in competitive pressures, including pricing pressures; the results of negotiations with China and India; timing and amount of capital expenditures; risks associated with natural gas and other hedging activities; changes in capital markets; changes in currency and exchange rates; unexpected geological or environmental conditions including water inflow; strikes or other forms of work stoppage or slowdowns; and changes in, and the effects of, government policy and regulations; and earnings, exchange rates and the decisions of taxing authorities, all of which could affect our effective tax rates. Additional risks and uncertainties can be found in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 under the captions "Forward-Looking Statements" and "Item 1A - Risk Factors" and filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Canadian provincial securities commissions. The forward-looking statements contained in the documents and information placed on this Site are made as of the date of the release of such document or the posting of such information on this Site, as applicable. PotashCorp disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
