2. Industry Analysis  Mosaic (MOS) belongs to Agricultural Chemical Manufacturing industry  In the U.S. – about 700 companies with combined annual revenue of $30 billion  Highly concentrated industry: ◦ 8 largest phosphate fertilizer producers generate 90% of revenues in the segment  Demand for agri-chemicals depends mainly on demand for various crops, and thus crop prices. http://www.hoovers.com/c hemical-manufacturing--- agricultural-/--ID__161-- /freeuk-ind-fr-profile- basic.xhtml

3. Company Overview  Headquarters: Plymouth, MN  Industry: Agricultural Chemicals  World's largest phosphate producer: makes agricultural fertilizer out of potash and phosphate  13% share of global phosphate and potash production and 58% & 40% share of American production, respectively http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ pr?s=MOS

4. Business Segments  Three segments: Phosphates, Potash, and Offshore. ◦ Phosphates  Produces and sells phosphate crop nutrients for use in crop nutrients and feed phosphate for animal feed ingredients ◦ Potash  Produces and sells potash for use as fertilizers and animal feed ingredients, as well as in industrial applications  Potash is also used for de-icing and as a water softener regenerant ◦ Offshore  Mosaic used to produce nitrogen fertilizer until selling its interest in Saskferco Products ULC at a $673.4 million gain in fiscal 2009. This was always a relatively small part of the company’s business. http://www.wikinvest.com/st ock/Mosaic_Company_(MOS)

5. Mosaic's temporary decline in phosphate profitability was due to unfavorable pricing of sulfur and ammonia, which should be viewed as an abnormal occurrence. http://www.wikinvest.com/i mage/MOS_opincbreakdown. gif (accessed Dec. 7, 2009).

6. SWOT Analysis STRENGTHSWEAKNESSES  Foreign operations  Economies of scale  MOS & POT – duopolies in fertilizer market – price control  High barriers to entry and industry is capital-intensive  Subject to financial assurance requirements as part of the routine business operations -> increases costs & liquidity requirements.  Crop nutrient business is seasonal -results in carrying significant amounts of inventory & NWC  Inability to predict future seasonal crop nutrient demand accurately  Location of international assets in countries with volatile conditions OPPORTUNITIESTHREATS  Increase in demand for biofuels (require corn fertilizers)  Increased demand for food but low farm acreage leads to increase in demand for fertilizers  Moderate drought conditions will increase demand for Mosaic’s products Lower relative value of the US dollar Lower gas prices Competitors announced plans to expand capacity of phosphate production over next few years SEC investigation for breaching Antitrust Legislation Under investigation by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Justice for its role in unlawful pollution in Florida

7. Management Assessment  Mosaic acquired Esterhazy, Saskatchewan potash mine in late 2006  "This successful expansion, both in terms of the cost and additional capacity, underscores our strong commitment to cost-effectively grow our Potash business” Jim Prokopanko, CEO  Mosaic plans to add approximately 200,000 metric tonnes of incremental capacity at its Colonsay, Saskatchewan mine by 2010.

8.  Mosaic has few competitors since the fertilizer industry has significant barriers to entry and economies of scale. It would cost from $1.6-$2.5B for a new company to enter the industry. A company would need five to seven years of development time to build mines and factories, build rail and gas lines, and purchase rail cars and storage before it could even begin making a profit from Potash or Phosphates.  Mosaic primarily competes: ◦ Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan (POT) ◦ Agrium (AGU) http://www.wikinvest.com/ (Accessed December 5, 2009
