o yellow phosphorus (“P4”)
o thermal phosphoric acid
o sodium hexametaphosphate (“SHMP”)
o sodium tripolyphosphate (“STPP”)
� China is the world’s largest producer and consumer of phosphate rocks and
phosphates*

� Higher mining output:
• In the last three FYs, mining output mainly came from Mine 1, which is the smaller mine.
• In 9M2013, output from Mine 2 represented 11% of total output
� Lower average selling price in 9M2013: Group’s strategy to sell phosphate rocks of lower quality
while keeping the higher quality phosphate rocks for its own production
