REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Plan Administrator and Participants of the PCS Nitrogen 401(k)
Savings Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of PCS
Nitrogen 401(k) Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related
statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2009.
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, 2009 and 2008, and the changes in net
assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
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, 2009, 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. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plans management.
Such schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2009
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 NITROGEN 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2009 AND 2008 AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,
2009
1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
The following description of the PCS Nitrogen 401(k) Savings Plan (the Plan) is
provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan
document for more complete information.
General The Plan is a defined contribution plan sponsored by PCS Administration
(USA), Inc. covering all eligible employees of PCS Purified Phosphates and PCS Nitrogen (the
Company) 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).
Contributions Participants may contribute up to 50% of base compensation each year,
as defined in the Plan, subject to certain Internal Revenue Code (the Code) 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 Company matches 100% of the first 3% of base compensation that participants
contribute. Catch-up contributions are not eligible for the Company matching contribution.
Participants may also roll over amounts representing distributions from other qualified
defined benefit or contribution plans (rollover contributions), which are not eligible for
the Company matching contribution.
The Company may also make a discretionary Company performance contribution ranging from
0% to 3% of each eligible participants base pay. The 2009 and 2008 Company performance
contributions were 1.5% and 3%, respectively, of each eligible participants base pay.
The Company will also contribute a basic contribution of five percent of base
compensation on behalf of each eligible employee of PCS Nitrogen Ohio, L.P. (Lima), as
defined in the 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, and the Company basic
contribution, if applicable, and allocations of Plan earnings and is charged with
withdrawals, 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
- 4 -
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 Company stocks and is not available as a participant-directed
investment option. Effective as of October 1, 2008, the investment option Legg Mason Value
Trust FI Class was no longer available for new contributions. A new investment option, T.
Rowe Price Dividend Growth Fund, was added to the Plan as of October 26, 2009. All existing
balances in the Legg Mason Value Trust F1 Class were transferred into the T. Rowe Price
Dividend Growth Fund on January 4, 2010.
Participants who have not made any investment elections 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.
Vesting Participants are immediately vested in their own contributions and in the
Company performance contribution, as well as in the 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 in the Companys matching contribution
after five years of credited service. Participants shall be 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 at the time the loan is made. Principal and interest are paid ratably through
payroll deductions.
Payments 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 monthly, quarterly, or annual installments over the participants estimated
life span. 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 PCS
Common Stock in cash or in whole shares. The Plan has a dividend payout program whereby
participants may elect to receive dividends paid on their vested shares of PCS Common Stock
in shares of PCS Common Stock.
Forfeited Accounts At December 31, 2009 and 2008, forfeited nonvested accounts
totaled $17 and $71, respectively. These accounts are used to reduce future employer
contributions. During the year ended December 31, 2009, employer contributions were reduced
by contributions from forfeited nonvested account balances by $2,798.
Plan Amendments The Plan was amended to comply with the Final Code Section 415
Regulations, the Pension Protection Act of 2006 and subsequent laws and regulations, and to
make changes to the loan provisions under the plan.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting The 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
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. 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 quoted market price. 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. Participant loans are valued at the outstanding loan
balances.
In accordance with GAAP, the Portfolio is presented at fair value in
participant-directed investments on 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.
Management fees and operating expenses charged to the Plan for investments in the
mutual funds and pooled 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.
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. 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.
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 1.53%
and
- 6 -
3.48% at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, which were based on the interest
rates of the underlying portfolio of assets. The average yield for the year ended December
31, 2009 was 2.74%.
New Accounting Guidance In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 105, Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (ASC 105) (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 168, The
FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles A Replacement Of FASB Statement No. 162) which became the source of
authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB, applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and
interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) under authority of
federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the
effective date of ASC 105, the codification superseded all existing non-SEC accounting and
reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature, not included
in the codification became non-authoritative. ASC 105 is effective for interim and annual
periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 105 did not have a material
impact on the Plans financial statements, aside from changing the nomenclature used to
reference accounting literature in the notes to the financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855 (originally issued as FASB Statement No. 165, Subsequent
Events) to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosing events that occur
after the balance sheet date, but prior to the issuance of financial statements. ASC 855
provides guidance on when financial statements should be adjusted for subsequent events and
requires companies to evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are
issued. ASC 855 is effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009. All subsequent events are
disclosed in Note 9.
In April 2009, FASB Staff Position 157-4, Disclosures Determining Fair Value When the Volume and
Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying
Transactions That Are Not Orderly, was issued (later codified into ASC 820) which expanded
disclosures and requires that major category for debt and equity securities be determined on
the basis of the nature and risks of the investments. This guidance
was applied prospectively in 2009, and the impact of adoption of this
standard was not material to the Plans net assets available for
benefits.
In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-12, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures: Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset per Share (or Its Equivalent)
(ASU 2009-12), which amended ASC Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
Overall. ASU No. 2009-12 is effective for the first reporting period ending after December 15,
2009. ASU No. 2009-12 expands the required disclosures for certain investments with a reported net
asset value (NAV). ASU No. 2009-12 permits, as a practical expedient, an entity holding investments
in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share or its equivalent for which the fair
value is not readily determinable, to measure the fair value of such investments on the basis of
that net asset value per share or its equivalent without adjustment. The ASU requires enhanced
disclosures about the nature and risks of investments within its scope. Such disclosures include
the nature of any restrictions on an investors ability to redeem its investments at the
measurement date, any unfunded commitments, and the investment strategies of the investee. The Plan
has adopted ASU No. 2009-12 on a prospective basis for the year ended December 31, 2009. Adoption
did not have a material impact on the fair value determination and disclosure of applicable
investments. The effect of the adoption of the ASU had no impact on the statements of net assets
available for benefits and statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASU
No. 2010-06), which amends ASC 820, adding new requirements for disclosures for Levels 1 and
2, separate disclosures of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3
measurements and clarification of existing fair value disclosures. ASU No. 2010-06 is
effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide
Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will
be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Plan is currently
evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2010-06.
Administrative Expenses Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Plan or
the Plan sponsor, as provided in the Plan document.
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, 2009 and 2008.

In accordance with ASU No. 2009-12, the Plan expanded its disclosures to include the
redemption frequency and redemption notice period for the Portfolio as its fair value is estimated
using the net asset value per share as of December 31, 2009. 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.
4. EXEMPT PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS
Certain Plan investments are shares of investment funds managed by Fidelity. Fidelity
is the trustee as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as exempt
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, 2009 and 2008, the Plan held approximately 25,722 and 26,394 shares,
respectively, of common stock of Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. (Potash
Corporation), the parent company of the Plan sponsor, with a cost basis of $1,005,109 and
$1,125,775, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Plan recorded
dividend income of $10,289.
5. 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.

6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Effective January 1, 2008, the Plan adopted ASC 820. ASC 820 establishes 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 the fair value hierarchy
under ASC 820 are described below:
Basis of Fair Value Measurement
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 table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Plan
investment assets at fair value, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008. As required by ASC 820,
assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is
significant to the fair value measurement.
