REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Plan Administrator and Participants of the
PCS U.S. Employees Savings Plan for Collectively Bargained Employees:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of PCS U.S. Employees Savings Plan for Collectively Bargained Employees (formerly White Springs Agricultural Chemicals, Inc. Savings and Investment Plan for Collective Bargaining Employees) (the Plan) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with 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. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plans internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, on December 31, 2011, the Plan assets from the PCS Nitrogen 401(k) Savings Plan were transferred into the Plan.
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2011, is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labors Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This schedule is the responsibility of the Plans management. Such schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2011 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

PCS U.S. EMPLOYEES SAVINGS PLAN FOR COLLECTIVELY
BARGAINED EMPLOYEES
(Formerly White Springs Agricultural Chemicals, Inc. Savings and
Investment Plan for Collective Bargaining Employees)
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010, AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011
1. | DESCRIPTION OF PLAN |
The following description of the PCS U.S. Employees Savings Plan for Collectively Bargained Employees (formerly White Springs Agricultural Chemicals, Inc. Savings and Investment Plan for Collective Bargaining Employees) (the Plan) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete information.
Plan Merger and Amendments In 2011, the Plan was amended to provide for (i) the transfer of sponsorship of the Plan to PCS Administration (USA), Inc. (the Company) from White Springs Agricultural Chemicals, Inc. (WS) and (ii) the merger of the PCS Nitrogen 401(k) Savings Plan (the Nitrogen Plan) with and into this Plan. Effective December 31, 2011, participants in the Nitrogen Plan were merged with and into the White Springs Agricultural Chemicals, Inc. Savings and Investment Plan for Collectively Bargaining Employees. In connection with the merger, the Plan was renamed the PCS U.S. Employees Savings Plan for Collectively Bargained Employees. The net assets of the Nitrogen Plan were merged into the Plan effective December 31, 2011. The transfer of assets from the investment options under the Nitrogen Plan to the options under the Plan are included in Transfer in of net assets from the Nitrogen Plan in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits.
General The Plan is a defined contribution plan sponsored and administered by the Company, covering all eligible employees of PCS Purified Phosphates, PCS Nitrogen Ohio, L.P. (Lima), and White Springs Agricultural Chemicals, Inc., who are represented by a collective bargaining agreement, as defined in the Plan. The Employee Benefits Committee of PCS Administration (USA), Inc., controls and manages the operation and administration of the Plan. Fidelity Management Trust Company (Fidelity) serves as the trustee of the Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
Prior to December 31, 2011, the Plan was a defined contribution plan sponsored by WS, covering all employees of WS who are represented by a collective bargaining agreement between WS and the International Chemical Workers Union Council of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union, Local 784C.
Contributions Participants may contribute up to 50% of base compensation each year, as defined in the Plan, subject to certain Internal Revenue Code (IRC) limitations. These contributions may be pretax contributions and/or after-tax contributions. Participants who are age 50 and over may also make catch-up contributions. The Plan has an automatic enrollment provision under which new participants are provided with a 3% pretax deferral, unless they formally waive participation or elect a different participation level. The automatic enrollment provision does not apply to Lima employees who are covered under this Plan.
The Company matches 100% of the first 3% of base compensation that participants contribute. Catch-up contributions are not eligible for the Company match. Participants may also rollover amounts representing distributions from other qualified defined benefit or contribution plans, which are not eligible for the Company match.
- 4 -
The Company may also make a discretionary Company performance contribution ranging from 0% to 3% of each eligible participants base pay. The 2011 and 2010 Company performance contributions were each 3% of each eligible participants base pay.
Effective December 31, 2011, the Company also contributes a basic contribution of 5% of base compensation on behalf of each eligible employee of Lima, as defined in the Plan. This contribution was previously made to each eligible employee of the Companys Lima facility under the Nitrogen Plan.
Participant Accounts Individual accounts are maintained for each Plan participant. Each participants account is credited with the participants contribution, the Companys matching contribution, the Company performance contribution when applicable, the Company basic contribution, if applicable, and allocations of Plan earnings and is charged with withdrawals and an allocation of Plan losses and administrative expenses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined in the Plan. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participants vested account.
Investments Participants direct the investment of their account balances and contributions into various investment options offered by the Plan. The Plan currently offers Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. (PCS) common stock, a selection of mutual funds, and one pooled investment stable value fund. The U.S. Government Reserves Fund is used to maintain dividends distributed by a participants investment in PCS common stock and is not available as a participant-directed investment option. The PCS stock purchase account is a money market fund that is used in the recordkeeping of the purchases and sales of fractional shares of PCS stock and is not available as a participant-directed investment option.
Participants who have not otherwise made an investment election will have their contributions and the employer contributions invested in the Plans default fund, which has been designated as the Fidelity Freedom Funds, specifically the Freedom Fund that has a target retirement date closest to the year that the participant might retire, based on the participants current age and assuming a normal retirement age of 65.
During 2011, balances in Fidelity Growth and Freedom Funds and the Fidelity Spartan 500 Index Institutional Fund were moved to fund classes, which are available to institutional investors and incur lower fees.
Vesting Participants are immediately vested in their own contributions and in the Company performance contribution, plus actual earnings thereon. Vesting in the Companys matching contribution is based on years of continuous service. Participants vest 20% per year of credited service and are 100% vested after five years of credited service. Participants are fully vested in the Companys basic contribution after a five-year period of service, although no partial vesting shall apply (i.e., five-year cliff vesting). Forfeited balances of terminated participants are used to reduce future Company contributions.
Participant Loans Participants may borrow from their fund accounts up to a maximum amount equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance. Loan terms range from one to five years, or up to 20 years for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans are secured by the balance in the participants account and bear interest at two percentage points above the rate for five-year U.S. Treasury notes on the last day of the preceding calendar quarter in which the funds are borrowed. Loans for the purchase of a primary residence bear interest at the standard lending rate for 20-year fixed rate home mortgage loans. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions. As of December 31, 2011, participant loans have maturities through 2031 at interest rates ranging from 3.00% to 7.00%.
- 5 -
Payment of Benefits On termination of service, a participant may elect to receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the participants vested interest in his or her account or in installment payments to the extent permitted by other Plan provisions. A participant may elect to receive payment of benefits prior to termination of service, as defined in the Plan. Participants may elect to receive their investment in the PCS stock fund in cash or in whole shares of PCS common stock. The Plan has a dividend payout program whereby participants may elect to receive as distributions dividends paid on their vested shares of PCS common stock in the PCS stock fund.
Forfeited Accounts At December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no forfeited nonvested accounts. Accounts forfeited during the year ended December 31, 2011, totaling $2,375, were used to reduce employer contributions to the Plan.
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Accounting The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires Plan management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits and changes therein. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties The Plan utilizes various investment instruments, including mutual funds, a pooled investment stable value fund, and common stock. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition The Plans investments are stated at fair value. Fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Shares of mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. The PCS common stock is valued at the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange and Toronto Stock Exchange on which the individual securities are traded on the last business day of the Plan year. The Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio II (the Portfolio) is stated at fair value and then adjusted to contract value, as the Portfolios investment contracts are fully benefit-responsive. Fair value of the Portfolio is the sum of the fair value of the underlying investments. Contract value of the Portfolio is the sum of participant and Company contributions, plus accrued interest thereon, less withdrawals. In accordance with GAAP, the Portfolio is presented at fair value in participant-directed investments in the statements of net assets available for benefits and an additional line item is presented showing the adjustment from fair value to contract value. The statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is presented on a contract value basis.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation includes the Plans gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.
Management fees and operating expenses charged to the Plan for investments in the mutual funds and pooled investment stable value fund are deducted from income earned on a daily basis and are not separately charged to an expense. Consequently, management fees and operating expenses are reflected as a reduction of investment return for such investments.
- 6 -
The Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio II The Portfolio is a stable value fund that is a commingled pool of the Fidelity Group Trust for Employee Benefit Plans. The Portfolio may invest in fixed interest insurance company investment contracts, money market funds, corporate and government bonds, mortgage-backed securities, bond funds, and other fixed income securities, with the objective of providing a high level of return that is consistent with also providing stability of investment return, preservation of capital, and liquidity to pay plan benefits of its retirement plan investors. Fair value of the Portfolio is the net asset value of its holdings at year-end. Underlying securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices or are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Fair value of the underlying investment contracts is estimated using a discounted cash flow model.
Certain events limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the Portfolio issuer. Such events include the following: (a) amendments to the Plan documents (including complete or partial Plan termination or merger with another plan); (b) changes to Plans prohibition on competing investment options or deletion of equity wash provisions; (c) bankruptcy of the Plan sponsor or other Plan sponsor events (for example, divestitures or spin-offs of a subsidiary) that cause a significant withdrawal from the Plan; or (d) the failure of the trust to qualify for exemption from federal income taxes or any required prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA. The Plan administrator does not believe the occurrence of any such value event, which would limit the Plans ability to transact at contract value with participants, is probable.
Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment in the Portfolio at contract value. The crediting interest rates were 1.60% and 1.82% at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which were based on the interest rates of the underlying portfolio of assets. The average yield for the year ended December 31, 2011, was 1.92%. The participants in the Plan are able to redeem from the Portfolio immediately. The Portfolio has no redemption restrictions and there is no redemption notice period required for participants.
Notes Receivable from Participants Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Delinquent participant loans are recorded as distributions based on the terms of the Plan document.
Administrative Expenses Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Plan or the Plan sponsor, as provided in the Plan.
Payment of Benefits Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon distribution. There were no amounts allocated to accounts of participants who had elected to withdraw from the Plan, but had not yet been paid at December 31, 2011 and 2010.
New Accounting Standards Not Yet Effective In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, which amends Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASU No. 2011-04 requires the categorization by level for items that are only required to be disclosed at fair value and information about transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. In addition, the ASU provides guidance on measuring the fair value of financial instruments managed within a portfolio and the application of premiums and discounts on fair value measurements. The ASU requires additional disclosure for Level 3 measurements regarding the sensitivity of fair value to changes in unobservable inputs and any interrelationships between those inputs. The new guidance is effective for the Plans year ending December 31, 2012. The adoption will not have a material effect on the statement of net assets available for benefits and statement of changes in net assets available for benefits. Plan management has not determined the impact on the disclosures in the financial statements.

3. | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
Fair value is defined under GAAP as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate fair value. Fair value measurements establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of inputs within the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may also include pricing models whose inputs are observable or derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
A financial instruments level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following descriptions of the valuation methods and assumptions used by the Plan to estimate the fair values of the investments apply to the investments held.
Common Stock Common stocks are valued using quoted prices listed on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs).
Mutual Funds Shares of registered investment companies are valued at quoted market prices that represent the net asset value of shares held at the Plan year-end (Level 1 inputs).
Stable Value Fund The fair values of participation units in stable value funds are based upon the net asset values of such fund, after adjustments to reflect all fund investments at fair value, including direct and indirect interests in fully benefit-responsive contracts, as reported in the audited financial statements of the fund (Level 2 inputs).

5. | EXEMPT PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS |
Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds and a commingled pool managed by Fidelity. Fidelity serves as the trustee of the Plan, and therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Fees paid by the Plan for the investment management services were included as a reduction of the return earned on each fund.
At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Plan held approximately 281,971 and 119,592 shares, respectively, of PCS common stock, with a cost basis of $11,587,159 and $4,705,711, respectively. Shares held at December 31, 2010 give effect to PCSs three-to-one stock split in February 2011. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Plan recorded dividend income of $41,714.
6. | PLAN TERMINATION |
Although it has not expressed any intention 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 set forth in ERISA. In the event that the Plan is terminated, participants would become 100% vested in their accounts.
- 11 -
7. | FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS |
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has determined and informed the Company by a letter, dated December 19, 2008, that the predecessor Plan was designed in accordance with applicable IRC regulations. Although the Plan merged and has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plans financial statements.
GAAP requires Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan and has concluded that as of December 31, 2011, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the Plans financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2008.

9. | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
In anticipation of the merger of the Plan and the Nitrogen Plan, and as part of preparation for the required IRS determination letter filing every five years, the Plan document was restated effective January 1, 2012. The Plan restatement recognized all previously adopted Plan amendments and combined the documents for the Plan and the Nitrogen Plan. This restated Plan document was submitted to the IRS in January 2012 with a request for the issuance of a favorable determination letter.
- 12 -
Effective January 1, 2012, as a part of the Plan restatement, the interest rates for Plan loans to participants will be set at the prime rate, plus 200 basis points for both primary residence loans and general loans. Rates will be set at the beginning of each month and will apply to new loans only.
