                                     PART I
 
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
 
GENERAL
 
     Arcadian Corporation ("Arcadian") is the largest producer and marketer of
nitrogen fertilizers and nitrogen chemicals in the Western Hemisphere. These
products are used for both agricultural and industrial purposes. Arcadian
produces ammonia at six of its seven domestic plants and in Trinidad. Ammonia is
used by Arcadian to produce a full line of upgraded nitrogen products, including
urea, ammonium nitrate, nitric acid and nitrogen solutions. Ammonia, urea,
ammonium nitrate and nitrogen solutions are sold as fertilizers to agricultural
customers and to industrial customers for various applications, while nitric
acid is sold to industrial customers as an intermediate chemical feedstock. In
addition to nitrogen products, Arcadian manufactures a variety of phosphate
products at one domestic plant for agricultural and industrial purposes. In
1995, Arcadian's sales were divided approximately 60% to agricultural customers
and 40% to industrial customers. Arcadian's plants ship products to
agricultural, industrial and export customers via barge, rail, truck and ship.
The locations of Arcadian's plants are Point Lisas, Trinidad; Geismar,
Louisiana; Augusta, Georgia; Lima, Ohio; Memphis, Tennessee; La Platte,
Nebraska; Clinton, Iowa; and Wilmington, North Carolina. In March 1995, Arcadian
indefinitely shut down production activities at its plant in Savannah, Georgia,
and converted it to a product distribution facility. All of the plants, except
for the Lima and Trinidad plants, were acquired in 1989 in connection with the
formation of Arcadian. The Lima and Trinidad plants were acquired in 1993.
 
     Arcadian was created in 1989 with the acquisition of five previously
separate nitrogen fertilizer businesses. From April 1992 to August 1995,
Arcadian conducted substantially all of its operations through a master limited
partnership, Arcadian Partners, L.P. ("Partners") and its subsidiaries
(collectively "Partnership"). Arcadian created the Partnership and held a 2%
general partner interest and a 43% limited partner interest; a 55% limited
partner interest was represented by publicly traded preference units. Arcadian
effectively acquired all of the preference units of Partners in August 1995 as
part of a series of transactions referred to as the "Merger."

MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION
 
  Domestic
 
     Arcadian supplies customers in the major crop producing and fertilizer
consuming areas of the United States from its domestic plants which are
strategically located throughout the eastern half of the U.S., giving
<PAGE>   3
 
Arcadian access to a strong, diversified crop base and lengthy fertilizer
consuming seasons. Arcadian's domestic plants have ready access to major
railroads, truck, barge or vessel transportation. At the Geismar plant, Arcadian
also has one of the few U.S. deep-water direct vessel loading facilities in the
industry, which provides it with ready access to the export market.
 
     The primary customers for fertilizer products are retail chain operators,
dealers, distributors and other fertilizer producers. National farm retail
chains and cooperatives have both distribution and application capabilities.
Arcadian does not sell products directly to farmers.
 
     Arcadian distributes its products by barge, railcar and truck to its
customers and through its strategically located storage terminals in high
consumption areas. Arcadian leases or owns approximately 50 terminal facilities
with an aggregate storage capacity of approximately 600,000 tons of product. The
terminals provide off-season storage and also serve local dealers during the
peak seasonal demand period. Arcadian operates approximately 1,300 railcars,
including various types of specialty railcars necessary for transporting some of
Arcadian's products.
 
  Trinidad
 
     Arcadian distributes products from the Trinidad plant to markets in Latin
America, Europe and Africa in addition to the United States. Arcadian's
distribution operations in Trinidad employ one long-term chartered ocean-going
vessel and utilize spot charters as necessary for the transportation of ammonia.
All bulk urea production is shipped through third-party carriers.
 
SEASONALITY AND VOLATILITY
 
     The markets for nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers are global commodity
markets. These products generally have no proprietary distinction, and the
markets for Arcadian's fertilizer products are both seasonal and volatile. The
seasonality of Arcadian's business is primarily the result of the agricultural
growing season, which imposes the need to build inventories for the annual peak
periods of fertilizer application. The volatility of Arcadian's business is the
result of a number of factors, including U.S. and foreign public sector policies
(including international trade policies), the number of acres planted, weather
patterns and conditions, the mix and yield of crops planted, disposable farm
income, the level of imports and, as with other global markets, the relative
value of the U.S. dollar. The most important factors for domestic markets are
weather patterns and conditions (particularly during periods of high fertilizer
application) and the agricultural and trade policies of the U.S. government.
Among the governmental policies that influence the markets for fertilizer are
those regulating or designed to influence the number of acres planted, the level
of grain stocks, the mix of the crops planted and crop prices. Under current
policy, which is intended to mitigate price and grain inventory volatility, the
U.S. government influences the number of acres planted by removing acres from
cultivation via subsidies to farmers based upon current grain stock inventories
and expected yields.
 
     The effects of the seasonality of Arcadian's fertilizer sales are offset in
part by the sale of approximately 40% of its production for industrial, rather
than agricultural, purposes. The industrial market business cycles for
Arcadian's products are generally independent of the agricultural cycles.
 
COMPETITION
 
     Although there has been extensive consolidation and privatization
worldwide, substantial competition exists in the nitrogen fertilizer and
chemical industries. Arcadian competes domestically with a broad range of
companies in the production and sale of nitrogen fertilizer and chemical
products, including subsidiaries of larger chemical companies, farm
cooperatives, integrated energy companies and independent fertilizer companies.
Because fertilizer is a commodity, competition takes place largely on the basis
of price and deliverability. The relative cost of, and availability of
transportation for, raw materials and finished products to manufacturing
facilities and markets are important competitive factors. Some of Arcadian's
principal competitors are more diversified and have greater financial resources
than Arcadian.
 
                                        2
<PAGE>   4
 
     Arcadian also competes with foreign companies whose nitrogen products are
imported into the United States. Although the number is diminishing, various
foreign competitors receive subsidies from their governments. Some countries
also have natural gas supplies that are surplus to domestic demand. This surplus
natural gas may have a low alternative value and, when used as feedstock for the
manufacture of ammonia and urea, can result in low-cost production. These
low-cost products are being imported into the U.S. and compete with domestically
manufactured nitrogen fertilizers, including those of Arcadian. In addition,
other importers subsidized by their governments may import products into the
U.S. for reasons not related to U.S. fertilizer market conditions, such as the
need to obtain U.S. dollars for other purposes.
 
     Arcadian believes that its production capacities for each of its principal
nitrogen products are among the one or two largest in the Western Hemisphere,
and that its major domestic competitors are Farmland Industries, Inc., CF
Industries, Inc., and Terra Industries Inc.
 
     Arcadian's domestic plants serve agricultural markets with a diversified
crop base that spans a lengthy growing season. Arcadian's domestic manufacturing
plants are strategically located in agricultural and industrial end-use markets
in the Southeast, Midwest and Gulf Coast regions. Management believes that it is
more economical to transport natural gas, the primary raw material in the
production of nitrogen fertilizers and chemicals, to plants situated in the
product markets than to transport such products over long distances. Several of
Arcadian's domestic plants are located closer to their primary customers than
are their competitors. Arcadian concentrates its marketing efforts on these
nearby markets where lower transportation costs result in better margins.
Arcadian believes that the number and geographic diversity of its plants provide
competitive advantages in manufacturing, distribution, marketing, customer
service and other areas when compared to competitors controlling only a few
facilities.
 
RAW MATERIALS
 
     Natural gas is the primary raw material used for the production of ammonia
and, as a result, virtually all of Arcadian's other nitrogen products. The
purchase and transportation of natural gas accounts for approximately 40% of
Arcadian's total domestic production cost. Arcadian's natural gas strategy is to
purchase approximately one-third of its natural gas in the spot market or on
short-term contracts, one-third of its natural gas pursuant to fixed-price or
index-priced physical contracts, reserves in the ground or forward contracts
which fix the price of future deliveries, and the remaining one-third of its
natural gas in Trinidad using a pricing formula related to the market price of
ammonia. Arcadian purchases nearly all its natural gas from producers or
marketers at the point of delivery of the natural gas into the pipeline system,
then pays the pipeline company and, where applicable, the local distribution
company to transport the natural gas to Arcadian's facilities. Approximately 60%
of Arcadian's domestic consumption of natural gas is delivered pursuant to firm
transportation contracts which do not permit the pipeline or local distribution
company to interrupt service to, or divert natural gas from, the plant. For a
further description of Arcadian's natural gas hedging policy, refer to Item 7,
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.
 
     In addition to nitrogen products, Arcadian produces phosphate products at
the Geismar plant for which supplies of phosphate rock and sulfur are necessary.
Arcadian purchases phosphate rock from Morocco pursuant to an agreement with a
Moroccan government-owned company, the current term of which expires on December
31, 1997, wherein prices are reset annually through negotiation. If no agreement
on price is reached, either party may terminate the agreement. Changes in the
agreement could affect the stability of the supply of the raw material and the
profitability of Arcadian's phosphate products. Sulfur is purchased pursuant to
a contract that may be cancelled by either party upon 180 days' notice prior to
the end of any month. Both phosphate rock and sulfur are delivered to the
Geismar plant via ship and barge.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY MATTERS
 
  General
 
     The production, distribution and storage of nitrogen and phosphate
fertilizers and chemicals may result in environmental damage. In addition, the
production of fertilizers and chemicals involves the use, handling and
processing of materials that may be considered hazardous within the meaning of
applicable environmental, health and safety laws. Arcadian believes that the
procedures currently in effect at all of its facilities for the production,
handling and transportation of all materials are consistent with industry
standards and are in general compliance with applicable environmental, health
and safety laws, the violation of which could have a material adverse effect on
Arcadian.
 
     Arcadian's operations are subject to extensive and evolving federal, state
and local and certain foreign laws and regulatory requirements relating to
environmental affairs, health and safety, waste management and chemical
products. Permits are required for the operation of Arcadian's plants and
related facilities, and these permits are subject to revocation, modification
and renewal. Governmental authorities have the power to enforce compliance with
these regulations and permits, and violators are subject to civil and criminal
penalties, including civil fines, injunctions or both. Third parties also may
have the right to pursue legal actions to enforce compliance. Future
developments, such as stricter laws, regulations or enforcement policies
thereunder, could significantly increase the cost to Arcadian with respect to
the handling, manufacture, use, emission or disposal of substances or wastes by
Arcadian. Moreover, some risk of environmental costs and liabilities is inherent
in Arcadian's operations and products, as it is with other companies in the
industry, and there can be no assurance that material costs and liabilities will
not be incurred by Arcadian. Arcadian's capital expenditures on projects
principally related to environmental control, remediation and compliance in 1995
were approximately $10 million, and Arcadian anticipates expenditures of
approximately $8 million for similar projects during each of 1996 and 1997.
Arcadian expects that its capital requirements for environmental projects may
increase in the future due to increasingly stringent environmental regulations
arising from current and future requirements of law.
 
     Arcadian has identified certain matters of environmental, health and safety
concern, including the specific matters described below, which may require
capital or other remedial expenditures. After considering the nature of these
matters, the responses of various regulatory authorities to similar matters, the
range of operating, engineering, environmental and other alternatives that might
be available to address these matters, the likely ranges of related capital and
operating expenditures, and the time periods over which such expenditures might
be required, Arcadian does not believe that the expenditures related to such
matters will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or
financial condition. However, there can be no assurance that material
liabilities or expenditures will not arise from these or additional
environmental, health or safety matters that may be discovered or from future
requirements of law.
 
     The federal Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 ("CAA Amendments") provide for
increased regulation of air emissions, including pollutants that may be
considered toxic within the meaning of the statute, and set forth requirements
for federal air emissions operating permits. In addition, several states,
including Louisiana and North Carolina, have adopted or are in the process of
adopting stricter controls on air emissions designated as toxic by those states,
which in certain cases include ammonia. Arcadian has retained an environmental
consulting firm to evaluate the applicability of the CAA Amendments'
requirements to Arcadian's domestic plants. Based on the preliminary results of
the study, Arcadian will be required to take certain actions to ensure
compliance with the CAA Amendments and related applicable state laws. Due to the
preliminary nature of the study and the uncertain and emerging nature of
applicable regulations, however, Arcadian currently is not able to estimate the
potential cost of such actions.
 
     In 1992, the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration
("OSHA") issued a process safety management standard for the prevention of
accidental releases of certain chemicals. The standard requires employers to
develop and maintain written process safety information, perform an assessment
of potential hazards, train and consult with employees, and investigate
incidents with the potential to result in major workplace accidents. The
standard provides for implementation of the program in various phases, with
compliance deadlines extending through several years. Arcadian is taking actions
to comply with the process
 
                                        4
<PAGE>   6
 
safety management standard in accordance with the prescribed deadlines. Arcadian
currently expects that the cost of compliance with the standard will not have a
material adverse effect on Arcadian.
 
     The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act
("CERCLA"), also known as the "Superfund" law, imposes liability, without regard
to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons
who are considered to be responsible for the release of a "hazardous substance"
into the environment. These persons include the owner or operator of the
disposal site or sites where the release occurred and companies that disposed or
arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substances. Under CERCLA, such
persons may be subject to joint and several liability for the costs of cleaning
up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment, for
damages to natural resources, and for the costs of certain health studies. It is
not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims
for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by hazardous substances
or other pollutants released into the environment.
 
     The plant sites on which Arcadian's production operations are located have
been used for many years. Although Arcadian has utilized, and believes that its
predecessors generally utilized, operating and disposal practices that Arcadian
believes complied with industry standards at the time, federal and state laws
relating to the remediation of historical disposal sites have become more
stringent. As a result, to the extent that wastes may have been released or
disposed of at its plant sites, Arcadian has in the past been, and may in the
future be, required to remediate contaminated property or groundwater or remove
previously disposed wastes and address related liabilities.
 
  Matters Related to Specific Facilities
 
     Arcadian's phosphate operations at the Geismar plant generate
phospho-gypsum as a byproduct. The phospho-gypsum, which is placed in large
stacks on site, is currently exempt from regulation as a hazardous waste under
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"). The Environmental
Protection Agency ("EPA") was considering a program under the Toxic Substances
Control Act to address the generation and management of phospho-gypsum and is
considering additional regulatory action under RCRA. Additional regulations may
require Arcadian and others similarly situated to take compliance actions
relating to the generation and management of phospho-gypsum. Due to the
uncertain and emerging nature of such regulations, however, Arcadian currently
is not able to estimate the potential cost of any such compliance actions.
 
     The Geismar plant is subject to federal and state wastewater discharge
regulations and permits. Pursuant to the requirements of an EPA administrative
order, Arcadian requested modifications to its federal and state wastewater
discharge permits for a fluoride bleed stream. In 1993, the EPA issued a
modified permit that allows Arcadian to continue operations at current levels.
The Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality ("LDEQ") has administratively
extended the state wastewater discharge permit on substantially the same terms
as are contained in the federal permit. Arcadian does not expect to incur
significant additional expenditures to comply with the modified permits.
 
     In 1994, the LDEQ issued an administrative order to Arcadian requiring the
correction of certain alleged violations of state air pollution control
regulations associated with the operations of the super-phosphoric acid facility
at the Geismar plant. The order specifically requires corrective action as to
certain state opacity requirements and the compliance with such requirements in
the future through the installation of control and monitoring equipment and the
adoption of certain operating procedures at the Geismar plant. Arcadian
currently expects that corrective actions required by the LDEQ order will result
in the expenditure of a total of approximately $3 million during 1996 and 1997.
 
     The EPA had recommended that certain environmental conditions at the site
of Arcadian's terminal in Navassa, North Carolina, be reevaluated under amended
EPA procedures with a view to the potential listing of the site on the National
Priorities List under CERCLA and possible remediation. Based upon information
obtained by Arcadian from the EPA, it appears that the EPA does not currently
plan to list the site on the National Priorities List or require further site
investigation at this time. There can be no assurance, however, that the EPA
will not so list the site or require further investigation and possibly
remediation of the site in the
 
                                        5
<PAGE>   7
 
future. Further, in February 1996, the North Carolina Department of Environment,
Health and Natural Resources notified the Company that the Navassa terminal site
had been included on the state's Inactive Hazardous Waste Sites Priority List.
Listed sites normally are subject to detailed assessment of the environmental
condition of concern and the feasible remediation options. Arcadian nonetheless
currently expects that the cost and liability, if any, associated with the
Navassa terminal site will not have a material adverse effect on Arcadian.
 
     In 1991, after extensive environmental assessments, Arcadian installed a
remediation system at the Memphis plant to address certain contaminants found in
the groundwater. Although the system was installed voluntarily and had been in
operation for over a year, the Tennessee Department of Environment and
Conservation ("TDEC") in 1993 proposed to include the Memphis plant on the
state's list of Inactive Hazardous Substance Sites. The Tennessee Solid Waste
Disposal Control Board rejected a similar proposal made by the TDEC in 1989.
Listed sites normally are subject to detailed assessment of the environmental
condition of concern and the feasible remediation options, but that process may
not be fully appropriate as to the Memphis plant in view of Arcadian's existing
remediation system. Nevertheless, in 1994, Arcadian entered into a voluntary
consent agreement and order with the TDEC providing for oversight and possible
modification by the TDEC of Arcadian's current remedial action, including
authority for requiring assessments of soils associated with Arcadian's
wastewater treatment system. There can be no assurance that the Memphis plant
will not be listed in the future, but in the event that it is listed, Arcadian
expects that the compliance costs will not have a material adverse effect on
Arcadian.
 
     In 1990, Arcadian implemented a voluntary program to assess groundwater
quality at the Clinton plant due to the presence of nitrates in the groundwater.
Arcadian provided the results of its investigation to the Iowa Department of
Natural Resources ("IDNR"). Pursuant to negotiations with the IDNR, the Company
will conduct further investigations and, if necessary, remediation. Further, the
Clinton plant site is immediately adjacent to the Chemplex Superfund site at
which groundwater remediation is currently being conducted. Certain volatile
organic compounds associated with the Chemplex site have been detected in small
amounts in the groundwater at the Clinton plant. Based on preliminary
information, it is also possible that remediation activities at the Chemplex
site could result in increased levels of nitrates in groundwater at the Clinton
plant. Nonetheless, based on currently available information, Arcadian expects
that the cost of the further assessment and any remediation of nitrates will not
have a material adverse effect on Arcadian.
 
     The Lima plant discharges wastewater to the Ottawa River under a National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit issued by the Ohio Environmental
Protection Agency ("OEPA"). When the permit was last renewed in 1989, the OEPA
initially proposed to impose substantial limitations on certain substances
present in the wastewater, based on concerns over the already impaired quality
of the river water as a result of industrial or municipal discharges. The OEPA
later agreed in an administrative settlement to a five-year permit for the Lima
plant with discharge conditions that were more acceptable to the Lima plant's
prior owner, BP Chemicals Inc. ("BPC"). The permit expired in 1994, but it has
been administratively extended by the OEPA on substantially the same terms
pending processing and approval of Arcadian's application for renewal. While
Arcadian does not expect that substantial additional discharge restrictions will
be imposed, the OEPA may again seek to impose a reduction in the permitted
discharge levels. Such restrictions may require the installation of improved
treatment technology, the cost of which will depend on the limitations
ultimately imposed.
 
     Arcadian has applied to regulatory agencies for the transfer or issuance of
various permits or authorizations that are material to the operation of the Lima
plant. As a result of regulatory procedural delays, some of these permits and
authorizations were not transferred or issued prior to the closing of Arcadian's
acquisition of the Lima plant. Arcadian expects, however, that all such permits
and authorizations for the Lima plant will be transferred or issued in due
course.
 
     Under the Georgia Rules for Hazardous Site Response, owners of property
where hazardous substances have or may have been released in excess of
established threshold levels are required to give notice thereof to the
Environmental Protection Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources
("GEPD"). The GEPD will evaluate the reported sites to determine whether they
should be listed on the state's Hazardous
 
                                        6
<PAGE>   8
 
Site Inventory. In 1994, Arcadian, as to the now idle Savannah plant, and DSM
Chemicals North America, Inc. ("DSM"), as the owner and lessor of the site of
the Augusta plant, notified the GEPD of certain substances that may be present
in reportable quantities at the respective sites. Based on such information, the
GEPD has decided not to include either site on the state's Hazardous Site
Inventory at this time. There can be no assurance that the GEPD will not include
either or both sites on the Hazardous Site Inventory in the future. However,
Arcadian does not expect the cost of any required remedial actions associated
with such listing to have a material adverse effect on Arcadian.
 
     DSM, which conducts manufacturing operations immediately adjacent to the
Augusta plant, is subject to certain corrective action requirements under its
RCRA hazardous waste management permit. Pursuant to these requirements, the GEPD
has identified a number of solid waste management units on DSM's property,
including several on property leased from DSM by Arcadian, for assessment and
potential remediation. Arcadian is contractually obligated to reimburse DSM for
the costs of the assessment and remediation of conditions at solid waste
management units at the Augusta plant which are attributable to past or present
nitrogen production operations at the Augusta plant. In 1995, DSM submitted a
draft remediation investigation work plan to the GEPD providing for the
assessment of the solid waste management units identified by the GEPD at the
Augusta complex. Due to the preliminary nature of the draft work plan and the
fact that it must be approved by the GEPD prior to implementation, Arcadian is
currently not able to accurately estimate the amount of costs that it will be
required to reimburse to DSM. Based on currently available information, however,
Arcadian does not expect that such costs will have a material adverse effect on
Arcadian. Further, if Arcadian successfully completes its negotiations with DSM
for the purchase of the leased land, the GEPD has informed Arcadian that it will
require Arcadian either to enter into a consent order or accept a permit for the
performance of the assessment and remediation actions for which Arcadian is
currently required to reimburse DSM.
 
     The Parliament of Trinidad and Tobago is considering legislation providing
for the increased regulation of environmental matters. Due to the uncertain and
emerging nature of this legislation and the regulations to be issued thereunder,
Arcadian is not currently able to accurately predict the impact that such
legislation and associated regulations may have on its operations in Trinidad.
However, Arcadian does not currently expect that such legislation or regulations
will have a material adverse effect on Arcadian.

     Arcadian leases or owns terminal facilities at approximately 50 locations
throughout the southern, southwestern, midwestern and eastern United States
principally for the storage of nitrogen solutions. Arcadian also leases office
space for its corporate headquarters.
 
  Service Agreements
 
     The Geismar plant is integrated with a larger chemical manufacturing
complex owned by Allied-Signal, Inc. ("Allied"). Under the Geismar Services
Agreement, Arcadian and Allied provide certain support services to each other,
including the provision of utilities, the discharge of wastewater, security and
emergency services, and other essential services. Management believes that most
of the services that Arcadian requires are available from other sources, if
necessary. However, the termination of, or the need to replace, certain of the
services provided (such as steam, well water supply and dock services) could, in
the aggregate, involve potentially significant capital expenditures, increased
operating costs and disruptions to the operations of the Geismar plant.
 
     BPC operates the Lima plant on Arcadian's behalf under an operating
agreement expiring in May 1996 but automatically renewable thereafter on an
annual basis. Arcadian's payments to BPC under the operating agreement generally
are intended to approximate BPC's previous cost of operating the Lima plant and
are made through the reimbursement of expenses incurred by BPC in providing such
operating services. In addition, due to the mutual interdependence of the Lima
plant and BPC's operations, Arcadian and BPC have agreed to provide each other
with certain manufacturing support services at cost pursuant to a contract
extending for as long as the plants continue to operate and either party is
required to provide support services thereunder.

     Arcadian uses contract labor personnel provided by Augusta Service Company,
Inc., which is owned 50% by Arcadian and 50% by DSM, to provide purchasing,
stores and spare parts management, maintenance, repair and shipping services for
the Augusta plant.
 
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
  Port Authority of New York and New Jersey
 
     On March 15, 1996, Arcadian was notified that it, two other nitrogen
producers, and up to 30 unidentified parties have been named as defendants in a
lawsuit filed by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey ("Port
Authority") in a New Jersey state court. The Port Authority is seeking to
recover damages allegedly incurred as a result of the explosion at the World
Trade Center in New York City on February 26, 1993. The Port Authority alleges
in its complaint that the two other named defendants and one or more
unidentified parties (as manufacturers of ammonium nitrate), Arcadian and one or
more unidentified parties (as producers of urea), and one or more unidentified
makers of nitric acid are liable under various tort theories for unspecified
property damages, business interruption losses, lost rent and other damages
allegedly incurred by the Port Authority as a result of the World Trade Center
explosion. While Arcadian is unaware of any basis for liability, it is
evaluating the lawsuit and intends to respond to the complaint in a timely
manner and to vigorously defend against the Port Authority's allegations.
 
  Lake Charles
 
     In connection with a 1992 incident at its Lake Charles plant, Arcadian is
contesting penalties proposed by OSHA totaling $4 million. The OSHA legal
proceeding to date has generally been favorable to Arcadian. While management
and legal counsel believe that any civil penalty ultimately paid by Arcadian
will be substantially less than the remaining $4 million penalty proposed by
OSHA, they cannot predict with certainty the outcome of this proceeding.
Arcadian also is defending civil litigation relating to the Lake Charles
incident which include personal injury, property damage, employee relations, and
other claims. Management believes that these matters either are without merit or
are satisfactorily covered by insurance, and that there will be no material
adverse effect to Arcadian upon the resolution of these matters.
 
  Southern and AGL
 
     Arcadian is involved in various proceedings that stem from its request that
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") require Southern Natural Gas
Company ("Southern") to transport natural gas directly to the Augusta plant. As
required by a FERC order issued in 1992, Southern constructed the necessary
interconnection facilities and commenced the requested transportation service. A
subsequent FERC order issued in 1994 approved a settlement between Arcadian and
Southern in which Southern agreed, among other things, to construct the
facilities and provide the service. Atlanta Gas Light Company ("AGL"), the local
distribution company that previously served the Augusta plant, has filed
requests for rehearing of the FERC's orders with the FERC and has filed
petitions for review of the FERC's orders with federal appellate courts, which
remain pending. AGL also sought and obtained rulings from the Georgia Public
Service Commission with respect to Southern's gas service to the Augusta plant,
but the federal district court in Atlanta invalidated those rulings and no
appeals have been taken.
 
   
  Recent Development -- DOJ Investigations
    
 
   
     In 1993, Arcadian learned that the Antitrust Division of the Department of
Justice (the "DOJ") had initiated a grand-jury investigation of pricing
practices in the explosives industry. In response to a subpoena issued in that
investigation, Arcadian produced to the DOJ in 1994 and 1995 documents
concerning ammonium nitrate sold to explosives manufacturers. In late 1996 and
early 1997, Arcadian learned that the DOJ had begun contacting current and
former Arcadian employees seeking information concerning pricing practices in
the ammonium-nitrate industry, including pricing practices of Arcadian. Arcadian
currently has limited information concerning the DOJ's investigations and, thus,
is unable to predict their outcomes as to
    
 
                                        9
<PAGE>   11
 
   
Arcadian. However, Arcadian believes that neither it nor its employees have
violated the antitrust laws and the DOJ's investigations are unlikely to result
in a material adverse effect on Arcadian.

     On February 27, 1996, Arcadian announced that its Board of Directors had
authorized Arcadian to implement a stock repurchase program for its Mandatorily
Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A, par value $.01 per share ("Preferred
Stock"). The Board of Directors has authorized Arcadian to spend up to $50
million in making open market purchases of the Preferred Stock from time to time
as management deems appropriate.
 
     On February 27, 1996, Arcadian also announced that its Board of Directors
intends to submit a proposed charter amendment for approval at Arcadian's 1996
Annual Meeting of Stockholders ("Meeting") to be held on May 16, 1996. The
proposal would permit the holders of Preferred Stock to voluntarily convert
their shares into Common Stock during a period beginning after the Meeting and
ending on August 16, 1996. Subject to stockholder approval, the holders of
Preferred Stock would be entitled to convert their shares into Common Stock on a
share-for-share basis, subject to a value limitation of $22.475 per share. The
proposal will be described in detail in Arcadian's proxy solicitation materials
for the Meeting.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
 
INTRODUCTION
 
     From April 1992 to August 1995, Arcadian Corporation ("Corporation")
conducted substantially all of its operations through a master limited
partnership, Arcadian Partners, L.P. ("Partners") and its subsidiaries
(collectively "Partnership"). The Corporation created the Partnership and held a
2% general partner interest as well as a 43% limited partner interest; a 55%
limited partner interest ("Non-Controlling Interest") was represented by
publicly traded preference units. As more fully described in Note 2 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements, the Corporation, in August 1995, effectively
acquired all of the preference units of Partners as part of a series of
transactions referred to as the "Merger". For all periods presented, Partners
and its subsidiaries along with other less significant subsidiaries of the
Corporation, have been consolidated with the Corporation and are collectively
referred to herein as "Arcadian". Subsequent to the Merger, therefore, results
of operations of Arcadian were not reduced by the portion of Partnership income
allocable to the Non-Controlling Interest. The non-cash portion of the Merger
consideration consisted of the Corporation's newly issued Mandatorily
Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A ("Preferred Stock"). The Preferred Stock
is considered to be a common stock equivalent (if dilutive) due to its
conversion feature.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
  1995 Compared to 1994
 
     In 1995, Arcadian generated net income of $88 million, net income
applicable to common shares of $80 million and net income per common share of
$3.08, compared to 1994 net income of $10 million, net income applicable to
common shares of $9 million, and net income per common share of $0.55. Operating
income increased in 1995 to $292 million from $117 million in 1994.
 
     Net sales increased from 1994 to 1995 by $167 million or 15%, of which 17%
was related to increased product selling prices, offset by 2% lower sales
volumes. The higher product selling prices were the result of a strong worldwide
demand for ammonia and urea and strengthening domestic demand for nitrogen
solutions. Arcadian experienced increased selling prices in 1995 for all of its
major products and, although sales volume of ammonia declined from the prior
year, Arcadian experienced increased sales volume in 1995 for urea and
relatively stable sales volumes for its other major products.
 
     Gross profit increased from 1994 to 1995 by $173 million. Gross profit as a
percentage of net sales increased from 17% in 1994 to 28% in 1995. The
improvement in gross profit was primarily a result of increases in selling
prices combined with lower natural gas costs. The per unit natural gas cost
included in cost of sales decreased approximately 10% from 1994 to 1995.
 
     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $13 million from
1994 to 1995. The increase in expense reflects primarily a $10 million increase
in profit sharing and stock appreciation rights. However, as a percentage of net
sales, selling, general and administrative expenses remained constant with 1994
at 5%.
 
     Interest expense increased from 1994 to 1995 by $1 million comprised of
approximately $3 million in increased expense from costs associated with the
September 1995 redemption of Exchange Debentures, offset by approximately $2
million in reduced expense from significantly lower levels of revolving credit
facility borrowings. Interest income of $13 million in 1995 reflects an increase
of $3 million over 1994, primarily from increased levels of invested funds
earning interest. Significantly improved results on investment transactions in
1995 reflect Arcadian's current more-conservative investment policy.
 
     Partnership income in 1995, prior to the August 1995 Merger, was $150
million and was $80 million for the full year of 1994. Non-Controlling Interest
reflects the preference unitholders' 55% interest in Partnership income prior to
the Merger.
 
     The increase in income tax provision from the prior year reflects higher
1995 taxable earnings and the increase in the Partnership's income allocable to
the Corporation as a result of the Merger.

  1994 Compared to 1993
 
     In 1994, Arcadian generated net income of $10 million, net income
applicable to common shares of $9 million, and net income per common share of
$0.55, compared to 1993 net income of $2 million, net loss applicable to common
shares of ($3) million, and net loss per common share of ($0.24). Operating
income increased in 1994 to $117 million from $62 million in 1993.
 
     Net sales increased from 1993 to 1994 by $297 million or 37%, of which 15%
was related to increased sales volumes and 22% was related to increased selling
prices. The increase in sales volumes primarily reflects (1) strong agricultural
demand combined with improved industrial demand in 1994 and (2) the benefit for
a full year in 1994 of the March 1993 Trinidad and the May 1993 Lima
acquisitions. Arcadian experienced increased selling prices in 1994 for all of
its major products, although sales volume of nitrogen solutions declined from
the prior year. Excluding Trinidad and Lima sales from both years, the increase
attributable to sales volumes would have been approximately 5%, while the
increase from sales prices would have been 17%.
 
     Gross profit increased from 1993 to 1994 by $85 million. Gross profit as a
percentage of net sales increased from 12% in 1993 to 17% in 1994. The
improvement in gross profit was primarily a result of increases in selling
prices which were partially offset by higher gas costs. The per unit natural gas
cost included in cost of sales increased approximately 10% from 1993 to 1994
which included the results of financial forward positions. In addition to the
natural gas costs above, results for 1994 include approximately $12 million in
unrealized losses on gas contracts which do not qualify for deferral under
generally accepted accounting principles, compared to unrealized losses on
similar gas contracts in 1993 of $3 million.
 
     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $15 million from
1993 to 1994. The increase in expense reflects primarily $4 million in higher
distribution costs from increased sales, $6 million of profit sharing expense
(compared to none in 1993), and increased costs related to the Trinidad and Lima
acquisitions. However, as a percentage of net sales, selling, general and
administrative expenses remained constant with 1993 at 5%.
 
     Operating income in 1994 was adversely impacted by the approximately $16
million charge for the indefinite shutdown of the Savannah plant. Approximately
$13 million of the charge relates to the impairment of asset value as a result
of the decision to shut down the plant. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
 
     Interest expense increased from 1993 to 1994 by $15 million primarily due
to interest expense for a full year for financing of the Trinidad and Lima
acquisitions and the March 1994 exchange by Arcadian of $34 million aggregate
principal amount of its Exchange Debentures for all outstanding shares of its
$160 Cumulative Exchangeable Preferred Stock, Series B ("Series B Preferred
Stock"). Interest income of $10 million in 1994 reflects an increase of $4
million over 1993, primarily from increases in invested funds and realized
yield. During 1994, Arcadian recognized a $15 million loss on the sale of
marketable securities.
 
     Other income (expense) includes the net effect from the sale of Arcadian's
Triazone Division (income of $4 million), offset by the write-off of its
investment in an exploratory coal-bed methane gas project (expense of $4
million). In 1993, other income (expense) included income of $4 million for
insurance recoveries related to the 1992 failure of the Lake Charles plant.
 
     Partnership income was $80 million and $27 million in 1994 and 1993,
respectively. Non-Controlling Interest reflects the preference unitholders' 55%
interest in Partnership income plus in 1993 approximately $9 million of special
income allocation required by the partnership agreement.
 
     The income tax benefit in 1994 reflects primarily the impact on deferred
taxes of a change in the Trinidad statutory income tax rate from 45% to 38% and
the utilization of net operating losses ("NOLs") and tax credit carryforwards.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  Operating Activities
 
   
     Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $326 million, $117
million and $45 million for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. Working capital, net of restricted reserve accounts, was $270
million, and $200 million as of December 31, 1995, and 1994, respectively, and
restricted reserves for the First Mortgage Notes and Senior Notes at those dates
totaled $50 million and $36 million, respectively.
    
 
  Investing Activities
 
   
     Net cash used for investing activities was $237 million, $45 million and
$379 million for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
During 1995, such activities included capital expenditures of $53 million,
rotational plant maintenance costs of $8 million and the cash portion of the
Merger Consideration of $214 million. During 1994, such activities included
capital expenditures of $59 million and rotational plant maintenance costs of
$18 million. During 1993, such activities included the Trinidad and Lima
acquisitions (net of acquired cash) of $215 million, other capital expenditures
of $41 million, and rotational plant maintenance costs of $18 million. The
restricted reserve for distributions on preference units of $36 million at
December 31, 1994 was released in 1995 as a result of the Merger.
    
 
     The current projected total amount of capital expenditures for 1996 is
approximately $61 million. Of the projected 1996 amount, environmental
expenditures are expected to account for approximately $8 million. The current
projected amount of rotational plant maintenance costs for 1996 is approximately
$17 million.
 
  Financing Activities
 
   
     Net cash provided by (used for) financing activities was $62 million, ($52)
million and $316 million for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. The 1995 amount includes proceeds from the issuance of common
stock of $233 million. The 1993 amount included the proceeds of the Senior Notes
financing used primarily to fund the Trinidad and Lima acquisitions.
    
 
     In 1995, Arcadian secured a new $100 million revolving credit facility from
a commercial bank. Arcadian will use the revolving credit facility to provide
working capital and to provide $33 million in letters of credit committed to
secure its obligations to the lessor under an operating lease of an ammonia
plant currently under construction on the Trinidad plant site. At December 31,
1995, there was no outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility, and the
amount available for borrowing in the form of loans and letters of credit, after
considering outstanding and committed letters of credit of $35 million, was $65
million. The revolving credit facility matures in 1998 but can be extended
annually for one-year periods at the option of the bank. For information
regarding the significant covenant restrictions imposed by Arcadian's debt
agreements, see Note 5 to Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
     In 1994, the Corporation issued approximately $34 million aggregate
principal amount of Exchange Debentures in exchange for all outstanding shares
of Series B Preferred Stock. In 1995, Arcadian redeemed the Exchange Debentures
at a price equal to 108% of the approximately $34 million principal amount. The
redemption resulted in the write-off of unamortized financing fees and discount
totaling approximately $1 million.
 
     The Corporation paid cash dividends on the Common Stock of approximately
$26 million, $5 million and $5 million ($1.72, $0.33 and $0.42 per share) in
1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
 
     The Corporation paid cash distributions on the AAC Warrants of
approximately $2 million in 1995 and $1 million in 1994, respectively.
 
     The Corporation paid cash dividends in 1995 on the Preferred Stock of
approximately $3 million ($.2127 per share). The annual dividend on the
Preferred Stock is $1.4725 per share. The initial dividend on the Preferred
Stock of $.2127 per share was prorated based on the 52-day period from August 9,
1995, the date of issuance of Preferred Stock, through September 30, 1995.
 
                                       14
<PAGE>   16
 
     In 1995 (prior to the Merger), 1994 and 1993, the Partnership made cash
distributions totaling $31 million, $36 million and $36 million to the
preference unitholders.
 
     Management believes that its present working capital position, combined
with projected cash flow from operations and available borrowing capacity, will
be sufficient to meet Arcadian's 1996 anticipated cash requirements for
operating needs, projected capital expenditures, and dividend requirements on
the Preferred Stock.
 
     From 1996 through 2000, Arcadian's principal long-term liquidity
requirements will focus on maturities of long-term debt. Excluding the revolving
credit facility, maturities of long-term debt will total $15 million, $15
million, $15 million, $18 million and $18 million in 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 and
2000, respectively. Cash from operations is expected to be sufficient for the
payment of all such maturities of long-term debt.
 
  Operating Lease Commitment
 
     In June 1995, Arcadian entered into a lease agreement with an unaffiliated
entity ("Lessor") with respect to an ammonia plant currently under construction
at the Trinidad plant site. Upon completion of construction, the Lessor will
lease the plant to a subsidiary of Arcadian. The annual lease payments are
expected to be approximately $6 million. The initial five-year lease term is
renewable for an additional five-year term, subject to certain conditions. If
the lease is not renewed or is otherwise terminated, a subsidiary of Arcadian
may be required to make a residual termination payment equal to 85% of the
estimated $75 million total cost of the project. A subsidiary of Arcadian has
provided $33 million in letters of credit to secure its obligations to the
Lessor. The Corporation has an option to purchase the plant during the term of
the lease for a price approximating its fair market value at the date of
exercise. The plant is expected to be operational in the second quarter of 1996.
 
  Risk Management
 
   
     Natural gas is the primary raw material used for the production of ammonia
and, as a result, virtually all of Arcadian's other nitrogen products. The
purchase and transportation of natural gas accounts for approximately 40% of
Arcadian's total domestic production cost. Arcadian's natural gas strategy is to
purchase approximately one-third of its natural gas in the spot market or on
short-term contracts, one-third of its natural gas pursuant to fixed-price or
index-priced physical contracts, reserves in the ground or forward contracts
which fix the price of future deliveries, and the remaining one-third of its
natural gas in Trinidad using a pricing formula related to the market price of
ammonia. Arcadian purchases nearly all its natural gas from producers or
marketers at the point of delivery of the natural gas into the pipeline system,
then pays the pipeline company and, where applicable, the local distribution
company to transport the natural gas to Arcadian's facilities. Approximately 60%
of Arcadian's domestic consumption of natural gas is delivered pursuant to firm
transportation contracts which do not permit the pipeline or local distribution
company to interrupt service to, or divert natural gas from, the plant.
    
 
   
     As noted above, Arcadian employs derivative instruments related to a
portion of its natural gas requirements (primarily futures, swaps and options)
for the purpose of establishing its cost of natural gas. These activities relate
to both committed and anticipated transactions extending into 1997. In
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, hedging gains and
losses on derivative instruments may be deferred if a high correlation exists
that the derivative instruments substantially offset the price exposure of the
identifiable asset to be hedged (natural gas). Decreases in natural gas spot
prices generally result in unrealized deferred losses on derivative instruments
which offset the benefit of lower spot prices; and increases in natural gas spot
prices generally result in unrealized deferred gains on derivative instruments
which offset the detriment of higher spot prices. Margin deposits related to
derivatives, which are classified as inventory in the balance sheet, decreased
by $19 million from the prior year to $5 million at December 31, 1995.
    
 
     A substantial portion of Arcadian's Trinidad transactions, including
long-term natural gas purchase contracts and contracts for the sale of products,
are denominated in U.S. dollars and, therefore, the risk to Arcadian as a result
of fluctuations in the Trinidad currency is limited. Foreign currency
translation gains and losses recognized by Arcadian during 1995, 1994 and 1993
were immaterial. The terms of the gas contracts
 
                                       15
<PAGE>   17
 
with the Trinidad government include: prices which vary with market prices for
ammonia, escalating floor prices, and minimum purchase quantities. The ammonia
market price attributes under the Trinidad gas contracts offer Arcadian a degree
of profit protection.
 
     Arcadian's cash investment policy objectives focus on the preservation of
the original investment by purchasing investment-grade securities, earning a
return in excess of that provided by U.S. Treasury instruments, and ensuring
that investment periods are commensurate with the time frames in which funds are
available. The anticipated impact of the policy involves lower expected interest
income on the securities held, combined with less risk of volatility in the
underlying value of the original investment.
 
  Contingencies
 
     In connection with a 1992 incident at its Lake Charles plant, Arcadian is
contesting penalties proposed by the United States Occupational Safety and
Health Administration ("OSHA") totaling $4 million. The OSHA legal proceeding to
date has generally been favorable to Arcadian. While management and legal
counsel believe that any civil penalty ultimately paid by Arcadian will be
substantially less than the remaining $4 million penalty proposed by OSHA, they
cannot predict with certainty the outcome of this proceeding. Arcadian also is
defending civil litigation relating to the Lake Charles incident which include
personal injury, property damage, employee relations, and other claims.
Management believes that these matters either are without merit or are
satisfactorily covered by insurance, and that there will be no material adverse
effect to Arcadian upon the resolution of these matters.
 
     Arcadian's operations are subject to extensive and evolving federal, state
and local and certain foreign laws and regulatory requirements relating to
environmental affairs, health and safety, waste management and chemical
products. Arcadian believes that the procedures currently in effect at all of
its facilities for the production, handling and transportation of all materials
are consistent with industry standards and are in general compliance with
applicable environmental, health and safety laws, the violation of which could
have a material adverse effect on Arcadian. Inspection and monitoring of
Arcadian's facilities has at times resulted, and may result in the future, in
the determination of the need for additional compliance activities,
environmental remediation or other modifications. Arcadian's capital
expenditures on projects principally related to environmental control,
remediation and compliance in 1995 were approximately $10 million. Capital
expenditures for similar projects in 1996, 1997 and 1998 are expected to range
from approximately $4 million to approximately $8 million each year. Future
developments, such as stricter laws, regulations or enforcement policies
thereunder, could significantly increase the cost to Arcadian with respect to
the handling, manufacture, use, emission or disposal of substances or wastes by
Arcadian. Further, there can be no assurance that material liabilities or
expenditures will not arise from environmental, health and safety matters that
may be discovered or from future requirements of law.
 
  Accounting Pronouncements
 
     In 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of" and No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation". Both Statements are effective in 1996, and neither is currently
expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of Arcadian.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
The Board of Directors
Arcadian Corporation:
 
     We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Arcadian Corporation and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995. These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits. We did not audit the financial statements of Arcadian Trinidad Limited
and Arcadian Trinidad Ammonia Limited, wholly-owned subsidiaries, as of and for
the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994. Those statements reflect total
assets constituting approximately 30% and total revenues constituting less than
1%, after elimination of intercompany balances and sales, of the respective
consolidated totals for both of the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994.
These statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been
furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included
for Arcadian Trinidad Limited and Arcadian Trinidad Ammonia Limited, is based
solely on the reports of the other auditors.
 
     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
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, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the
consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Arcadian Corporation and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                      ARCADIAN CORPORATION & SUBSIDIARIES
 
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  Basis of Presentation
 
     Arcadian Corporation ("Corporation") was created in 1989 with the
acquisition of five previously separate nitrogen fertilizer businesses. From
April 1992 to August 1995, the Corporation conducted substantially all of its
operations through a master limited partnership, Arcadian Partners, L.P.
("Partners") and its subsidiaries (collectively "Partnership"). The Corporation
created the Partnership and held a 2% general partner interest as well as a 43%
limited partner interest; a 55% limited partner interest ("Non-Controlling
Interest") was represented by publicly traded preference units. As more fully
described in Note 2, the Corporation effectively acquired all of the preference
units of Partners in August 1995 as part of a series of transactions referred to
as the "Merger". For all periods presented, Partners and its subsidiaries, along
with other less significant subsidiaries of the Corporation, have been
consolidated with the Corporation and are collectively referred to herein as
"Arcadian". All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
 
     Arcadian produces a variety of nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers and
nitrogen chemicals and sells product throughout the United States and
internationally. Arcadian's customers vary in size and typically participate in
agricultural and intermediate industrial chemical businesses. Credit is extended
based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition, and generally,
collateral or other forms of security are not required. Expected credit losses
have been provided for in the financial statements.
 
     Arcadian's management has made a number of estimates and assumptions
(relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities) to prepare these financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
 
  Cash Equivalents
 
     Arcadian considers highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents, except for those which are part of
the restricted reserve accounts.
 
  Inventories
 
     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
using principally the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The cost of finished
goods includes raw materials, direct labor, plant operating overhead, certain
plant to terminal freight and terminal distribution costs. Finished goods also
include the net effect of product exchange agreements with other fertilizer
producers. Raw material inventories also include spare parts, maintenance
supplies, catalyst, and margin requirements related to derivative financial
instruments ("derivatives") discussed below.
 
     Arcadian uses derivatives for a portion of its natural gas requirements to
manage its exposure to commodity price risk in the purchases of natural gas,
Arcadian's primary raw material. These activities have been designated as
hedging activities by Arcadian and are accounted for as such. Arcadian hedges
for both committed and anticipated purchases of natural gas. Increases
(decreases) in the fair value of derivatives generally offset (decreases)
increases in the spot market prices of natural gas, and therefore allow Arcadian
to establish a determinable fixed cost for this raw material.
 
     Gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of hedging
transactions which have not yet been settled are not recognized as they
generally relate to changes in the spot price of anticipated natural gas
purchases. Gains or losses arising from settled hedging transactions are
deferred as a component of inventory until the product containing the hedged
item is sold, at which time both the natural gas purchase cost and the related
hedging deferral are recorded as cost of sales. Arcadian regularly evaluates its
unrecognized or deferred

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
gains and losses on derivatives from a net realizable value of inventory
perspective and establishes appropriate reserves, if necessary.
 
  Property, Plant and Equipment
 
     Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost. Normal maintenance and
repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Major improvements and betterments
are capitalized.
 
     Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets which range from five to 20 years. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over their estimated useful lives or the related
primary lease terms, whichever are shorter.
 
     Interest is normally expensed as incurred, except when it is incurred in
conjunction with major capital additions, and then it is capitalized as part of
the asset cost. No such interest was capitalized by Arcadian during the periods
presented.
 
  Goodwill
 
     Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. The
Corporation assesses the recoverability of this intangible asset based on
estimated undiscounted future operating cash flows from the Partnership.
 
  Other Assets
 
     Rotational plant maintenance costs, which consist primarily of planned
major maintenance projects performed on a periodic basis (also known as
"turnarounds"), are capitalized when incurred and are amortized over the
anticipated periods until the next scheduled rotational plant maintenance which
ranges from two to four years.
 
     Financing costs are capitalized and amortized over the terms of the related
debt.
 
  Income Taxes
 
     Income taxes have been provided for in accordance with the asset and
liability methodology of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." Under Statement No. 109, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities (and their respective tax bases) and operating loss and tax
credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under
Statement No. 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change
in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment
date. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management
considers whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will be
realized through the generation of future taxable income.
 
     The income tax provision includes income taxes applicable to the
Corporation's allocation of Partnership income and all income taxes applicable
to the Partnership's domestic and foreign subsidiaries.
 
     Foreign withholding taxes, which relate to Trinidad taxes on interest
payments by Trinidad subsidiaries on intercompany debt for which foreign tax
credits are not allowed, are included in income tax provision in the
accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
 
  Net Income Per Common Share
 
     For purposes of computing net income per common share, the conversion of
13,812,500 shares of Preferred Stock which are common stock equivalents because
of their mandatory conversion feature, is
 
                                      F-10

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
assumed when such conversion is dilutive. If such conversion is antidilutive,
the conversion of such shares is not assumed, and net income applicable to
common shares is therefore reduced by dividends on the Preferred Stock. The
assumed conversion in 1995 of the Preferred Stock had a dilutive effect.
Warrants and options are common stock equivalents. Prior to the exchange by the
Corporation of the 16% Junior Subordinated Exchange Debentures due December 15,
2004 ("Exchange Debentures") for its $160 Cumulative Exchangeable Preferred
Stock, Series B ("Series B Preferred Stock"), on March 15, 1994, net income
applicable to common shares was reduced by dividends and discount accretion
associated with the Series B Preferred Stock. Common and common equivalent
shares outstanding were 28,676,102; 16,148,586; and 12,915,906 for years ended
December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
 
  Foreign Currency Translation
 
     The functional currency of Arcadian's Trinidad operations is the U.S.
dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in local currency are
translated at year-end exchange rates and monetary income and expense accounts
denominated in local currency are translated at average exchange rates for the
period. Nonmonetary accounts denominated in local currency are translated at
historical exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from translating local currency
denominated accounts are included in results of operations. Aggregate foreign
currency gains and losses recognized during the periods presented were
immaterial.
 
  Reclassifications
 
     Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year
presentation.
 
(2) MERGER
 
     On August 9, 1995, the Corporation completed its acquisition of all of the
outstanding preference units of Partners by means of the merger of Arcadian
Merger Subsidiary, L.P. ("AMS"), a directly and indirectly wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Corporation, with and into Partners ("Merger"), pursuant to
the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of May
30, 1995, among the Corporation, Arcadian Holding Corporation, AMS and Partners.
In exchange for each outstanding preference unit, the holders received, upon the
surrender of their preference unit certificates, consideration consisting of (1)
cash in the amount of $14.50, (2) 0.935 share of the Corporation's Preferred
Stock, and (3) the accrued but unpaid minimum quarterly distribution ("MQD") on
the preference units from July 1 through August 9, 1995, in the amount of $.269
per preference unit. The Merger was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. The excess of the aggregate consideration ($428 million) over the
Corporation's carrying value for Non-Controlling Interest at the date of the
Merger ($331 million) was recorded as goodwill. The cash portion of the
consideration paid by the Corporation was provided primarily by a concurrent
public offering of 15,558,824 shares of its Common Stock at a price of $15.50
per share. Net sales and net income on a pro forma basis assuming the Merger and
public offering had occurred as of January 1, 1994 would have been $1.1 billion
and $45 million for 1994 and $1.3 billion and $143 million for 1995,
respectively.
 
(3) RESERVE ACCOUNTS
 
     At December 31, 1995, restricted reserve accounts of $50 million were
comprised of a $31 million Cash Collateral Account for the benefit of the
holders of the First Mortgage Notes and a $19 million Debt Service Reserve
Account for the benefit of the holders of the 10 3/4% Series B Senior Notes due
2005 ("Senior Notes"). At December 31, 1995, restricted reserve accounts
consisted of $50 million in mutual funds which invest primarily in commercial
paper and money market instruments. As a result of the Merger, the $36 million
reserve maintained by Partners to support MQD payments on the preference units
was released for general corporate purposes.

  1993 Acquisitions
 
     In March 1993, Partners acquired its Trinidad operations ("Arcadian
Trinidad") for consideration of approximately $175 million and in May 1993,
Partners acquired its Ohio operations from BP Chemicals Inc. ("BPC") for
approximately $90 million. The acquisitions were accounted for using the
purchase method of accounting. Total purchase costs were allocated to the assets
and liabilities acquired based upon their respective fair values at the dates of
acquisition. Net sales and net income for 1993 on a pro forma basis assuming the
Trinidad and Lima acquisitions had occurred as of January 1, 1993 would have
been approximately $881 million and $3 million, respectively.
 
  Savannah Plant
 
     In December 1994, the Board of Directors authorized the Corporation to
indefinitely shut down its Savannah, Georgia plant. Production activities at the
Savannah plant were indefinitely discontinued, and the site is now being used as
a fertilizer solutions terminal. The decision to discontinue production
operations at the Savannah plant was due to its lack of profitability. Market
conditions beginning in 1994, which are not expected to significantly improve
unless industry fundamentals change, have resulted in a sharp increase in the
cost of purchased ammonia, the primary raw material at this non-ammonia
producing site, while sales prices for nitrogen products produced at the site
have not experienced similar increases. The plant was operational until March
1995, after which all employees, except a minimal number involved in the
continuing terminal operations, were relocated or terminated with severance
benefits.
 
     As a result of the plan of indefinite shutdown, Arcadian recorded a
provision against fourth quarter 1994 earnings of approximately $16 million for
the impairment of long-lived assets and the accrual of certain other related
costs. The provision reduces the net book value of the assets for the plant to
their estimated fair value. While management currently has no definitive plans
for the sale or relocation of the idle assets, they may consider such
alternatives in the future.

     The First Mortgage Notes are payable in varying annual principal
installments beginning in 1996, have a final maturity in 2012, and bear
interest, which is payable quarterly, at rates ranging from 9.09% to 10.10% per
annum (with a weighted average interest rate in 1995 of 9.63%). The First
Mortgage Notes are secured by substantially all of the property, plant and
equipment of Partners' operating subsidiary, Arcadian Fertilizer, L.P.
("Fertilizer"), as well as by the Cash Collateral Account.
 
     In 1995, the Partnership secured a new $100 million revolving credit
facility from a commercial bank. The Partnership will use the revolving credit
facility to provide working capital and to provide $33 million in letters of
credit committed to secure its obligations to the lessor under an operating
lease of an ammonia plant currently under construction at the Trinidad plant
site. At December 31, 1995, there was no outstanding balance on the revolving
credit facility, and the amount available for borrowing in the form of loans and
letters of credit, after considering outstanding and committed letters of credit
of $35 million, was $65 million. The revolving credit facility is secured
primarily by inventories and accounts receivable, and bears interest, which is
payable quarterly, based on reserve-adjusted LIBOR plus a margin of 1.25%. An
alternative interest rate is available based on the agent's base lending rate.
The revolving credit facility matures in 1998 but can be extended annually for
one-year periods at the option of the bank.
 
     In conjunction with its 1993 acquisitions, Partners issued $340 million
aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes. The Senior Notes rank pari passu in
right of payment with all other existing and future senior debt of the
Partnership and senior in right of payment to any future subordinated debt of
the Partnership. Because the Partnership conducts operations through its
subsidiaries, the Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to all debt and
other obligations of the subsidiaries. The Senior Notes are redeemable, in whole
or in part, beginning on May 1, 1998. A sinking fund will provide for the
mandatory redemption of the Senior Notes, at the annual rate of 20% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes, beginning on May 1, 2001, and
continuing until the entire issue is retired on May 1, 2005. In addition, the
Senior Noteholders effectively have a put option, triggered by a change in
control (as defined), which would require the repurchase of the Senior Notes at
101% of par. Pursuant to the Senior Note indenture, a Debt Service Reserve
Account was established equal to six months of interest on the Senior Notes. The
indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, restrict the
ability of Partners and certain of its subsidiaries, under certain
circumstances, to create liens, incur or guarantee debt, make distributions,
sell certain equity interests or assets, and engage in certain other
transactions.
 
     In 1994, the Corporation issued approximately $34 million aggregate
principal amount of Exchange Debentures in exchange for all 33,734 previously
outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock. The holders received $1,000
principal amount of Exchange Debentures for each share of Series B Preferred
Stock. On

September 15, 1995, the Corporation redeemed the Exchange Debentures at a price
equal to 108% of the approximately $34 million principal amount. The redemption
resulted in the write-off of unamortized financing fees and discount totaling
approximately $1 million.

(6) PREFERRED STOCK
 
     The Corporation has 50 million shares of $.01 par value preferred stock
authorized, 16,500,000 of which have been designated as Mandatorily Convertible
Preferred Stock, Series A ("Preferred Stock"). On August 9, 1995, in conjunction
with the Merger, the Corporation issued 13,812,500 shares of Preferred Stock.
 
     The Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Corporation's common stock in the
payment of dividends and liquidation, has voting rights, pays a cumulative
quarterly dividend at an annual rate of $1.4725 per share until August 9, 1998
("Mandatory Conversion Date") and has a liquidation preference of approximately
$214 million ($15.50 per share) plus any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon.
The Preferred Stock converts automatically into Common Stock, on a
share-for-share basis, on the Mandatory Conversion Date. The Corporation may
also cause the conversion of the outstanding Preferred Stock into Common Stock
upon certain mergers or consolidations of the Corporation. The Corporation has
the option to redeem the Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, in exchange for a
combination of cash and/or shares of Common Stock having a value equal to the
sum of $22.475 per share and an amount equal to $1.3175 per share per annum from
the date of the redemption to the Mandatory Conversion Date.
 
(7) COMMON STOCK
 
     The Arcadian Corporation Stock Option Plan, which provides for both
incentive stock options and nonqualified options, authorizes the granting of
options to purchase up to 2,025,000 shares of Common Stock. The options have
effective dates ranging from May 1990 to January 1995, vest ratably over the
three years following the effective date, and will expire ten years from their
respective dates. The following table summarizes option activity:

     Of the December 31, 1995 and 1994 net deferred tax liability amounts above,
$50 million and $45 million, respectively, relate to Trinidad.
 
     Arcadian has not recognized a deferred tax liability for foreign
withholding taxes on undistributed earnings of the Trinidad subsidiaries, as it
is currently management's intent not to repatriate Trinidad profits in the
foreseeable future. Cumulative undistributed earnings total approximately $38
million at December 31, 1995; the related withholding tax would approximate $4
million.
 
(10) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
 
  Pension Plans
 
     Arcadian has defined benefit pension plans covering essentially all
employees. Participation and benefit accrual is based on a future service basis,
with past service counting for purposes of vesting and eligibility for benefits.
Pension cost is funded at amounts equal to the minimum funding requirements of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
 
     Information regarding benefit plans for Arcadian's Trinidad employees is
included following the information on domestic plans.

     The Trinidad operations have contributory defined benefit pension plans,
covering essentially all employees. Participation and benefit accrual is
essentially on a future service basis, with past service counting for purposes
of vesting and eligibility for benefits.
 
     At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the accumulated benefit obligation of those
plans was $5 million and $4 million, respectively, with such benefits being
nearly fully vested. Plan assets at fair value as of December 31, 1995 and 1994
were approximately $19 million and $16 million, respectively, and were invested
primarily in local government and other bonds, local mortgages and
mortgage-backed securities, fixed income

deposits and cash. The projected benefit obligation, for service rendered to
date, at December 31, 1995 and 1994 was approximately $9 million and $7 million,
respectively, and unrecognized net gains and losses were negligible. At December
31, 1995 and 1994, the settlement rate used in determining the actuarial present
value of the projected benefit obligation was 8.5% and 9.0%, respectively and
for the periods ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, the expected long-term rate of
return on assets was 9.5%. Prepaid pension assets of $9 million at December 31,
1995 and 1994, are classified as other assets in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet. Net pension cost (credit) during the periods ended December 31,
1995, 1994 and 1993 was approximately $(0.4) million, $(0.5) million and $(0.6)
million, respectively.
    
 
  Postretirement Plans
 
     Arcadian provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for
retired employees. Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106,
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pension," the cost
of postretirement benefits must be recognized on an accrual basis as employees
perform services to earn the benefits.

     At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the settlement rate used in determining the
actuarial present value of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation
("APBO") was 7.5% and 8.25%. For measurement purposes, a 6.0% annual rate of
increase in per capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed for 1995
and 1994; the rate was assumed to decrease gradually to 4.5% for 2000 and remain
at that level thereafter. The health care cost trend rate assumption has a
significant effect on the amounts reported, and increasing the assumed health
care cost trend rates by 1% in each year would increase the APBO as of December
31, 1995, by $2 million and the aggregate of the service and interest cost
components of net periodic cost for the year then ended by $.2 million.

  Employee Stock Ownership Plan
 
     Arcadian has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") in which essentially
all employees participate. Arcadian is committed to making annual contributions
to the ESOP at least equal to 4% of covered compensation. ESOP expense was
approximately $2 million in 1995 and 1994 and approximately $1 million in 1993.
 
  SAR Plan
 
     The Corporation has a Stock Appreciation Rights Plan ("SAR Plan") for key
employees. The SAR Plan authorizes the granting of 825,000 units, of which
812,787 have been granted as of December 31, 1995. The units vest over a
three-year period and are generally exercisable for ten years. Of the units
granted, 300,000 units (200,000 vested) have a $3.33 grant price; 75,000 units
(50,000 vested) have a $5.03 grant price; and 437,787 units (271,858 vested)
have a $6.67 grant price. As a result of the August 1995 initial public
offering, a triggering event occurred under the SAR Plan allowing the exercise
of units. During 1995 (following the triggering event), Arcadian accrued $12
million for the SAR Plan.
 
  Profit Sharing Plan
 
     Arcadian has a profit sharing plan covering essentially all employees which
is based primarily on annual financial performance of Arcadian, performance
measures of employees, and certain other conditions. Annual profit sharing plan
targets, pay-out thresholds and other components are determined at the
discretion of the Compensation Committee of Arcadian's Board of Directors.
During 1995 and 1994, profit sharing expenses totaled $22 million and $6
million, respectively; the amounts are included in accrued expenses at year-end.
During 1993, Arcadian had no profit sharing expense.
 
(11) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
  Leases
 
     Arcadian leases certain of its office space, storage terminals, ocean-going
transportation vessels, railcars and equipment. Total rental expense for the
years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, was approximately $25 million,
$24 million and $23 million, respectively.

     In June 1995, Arcadian entered into a lease agreement with an unaffiliated
entity ("Lessor") with respect to an ammonia plant currently under construction
at the Trinidad plant site. Upon completion of construction, the Lessor will
lease the plant to a subsidiary of Arcadian. The annual lease payments are
expected to be approximately $6 million. The initial five-year lease term is
renewable for an additional five-year term, subject to certain conditions. If
the lease is not renewed or is otherwise terminated, a subsidiary of Arcadian
may be required to make a residual termination payment equal to 85% of the
estimated $75 million total cost of the project. In addition, the Corporation
has an option to purchase the plant during the term of the lease for a price
approximating its fair market value at the date of exercise. The plant is
expected to be operational in the second quarter of 1996.
 
  Derivatives
 
     In addition to physical spot and term purchases, Arcadian at times employs
futures, swaps and option agreements to establish the cost on a portion of its
natural gas requirements. These instruments are intended to hedge the future
cost and supply of committed and anticipated natural gas purchases for its
domestic plants. Under these arrangements, Arcadian receives or makes payments
based on the differential between a specified price and the actual spot price of
natural gas. Arcadian has certain available lines of credit which are utilized
to reduce cash margin requirements to maintain the derivatives. At December 31,
1995, available off-balance sheet lines of credit totaled approximately $9
million and $4 million of such lines of credit were utilized at that date. Cash
margin requirements in excess of available lines of credit which have been
advanced as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, totaled $5 million and $24 million,
respectively, and are included in inventory.
 
     As of December 31, 1995, Arcadian had derivatives qualifying for deferral
in the form of futures and swaps. The futures represented a notional amount of
17 million MMBtus with maturities in 1996 through 1997. The swaps represented a
notional amount of 15 million MMBtus with maturities in 1996 through 1997.
 
     During the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, the net cost of
natural gas (which is included in cost of sales) has been increased (decreased)
from the use of derivatives by $15 million, $37 million and ($2) million,
respectively.
 
  Lake Charles Plant
 
     In connection with a 1992 incident at its Lake Charles plant, Arcadian is
contesting penalties proposed by the United States Occupational, Safety and
Health Administration ("OSHA") totaling $4 million. The OSHA legal proceeding to
date has generally been favorable to Arcadian. While management and legal
counsel believe that any civil penalty ultimately paid by Arcadian will be
substantially less than the remaining $4 million penalty proposed by OSHA, they
cannot predict with certainty the outcome of this proceeding. Arcadian also is
defending civil litigation relating to the Lake Charles incident which include
personal injury,

property damage, employee relations, and other claims. Management believes that
these matters either are without merit or are satisfactorily covered by
insurance, and that there will be no material adverse effect to Arcadian upon
the resolution of these matters.
 
  Trinidad Operations
 
     Arcadian Trinidad has entered into long-term natural gas contracts with a
gas company in Trinidad. The contracts provide for prices which vary with
ammonia market prices, escalating floor prices, and minimum purchase quantities.
 
  Ohio Operations
 
     BPC agreed to operate the Lima plant on behalf of Arcadian pursuant to a
contract providing for the reimbursement of expenses incurred by BPC in
providing such operating services.
 
  Environmental Matters
 
     In the normal course of business, Arcadian monitors its operations and
makes expenditures for environmental protection. In addition, Arcadian's
operations generally are subject to the environmental standards and regulations
of various regulatory agencies. Environmental expenditures that relate to
current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures
resulting from remediation of an existing condition caused by past operations
are generally expensed. Liabilities are recognized for remedial activities when
the efforts are probable and the cost is reasonably estimated.
 
     As of December 31, 1995, management has accrued for its known environmental
liabilities, which are not considered to be material to Arcadian's financial
condition or results of operations. While current and future environmental laws
and regulations will potentially subject Arcadian to corrective costs and
expenses, management is not aware of any such matters which it considers to be
of a material nature.

     The carrying amount of all other assets and liabilities not listed above
approximate their estimated fair values. The following methods and assumptions
were used to estimate the fair values for financial instruments:
 
  Long-term debt
 
     The fair values for long-term debt are based on quoted market prices for
similar issues or by discounting expected cash flows at the rates currently
available for debt of similar terms and maturities.
 
  Derivatives
 
     The fair values for natural gas contracts are based on quoted market prices
at the reporting date for those or similar instruments.

(13) STOCK SPLIT
 
     On March 10, 1995, the Board of Directors approved a 3-for-1 stock split of
the Common Stock (to be effected as a stock dividend). Retroactive effect for
this stock split has been given to all Common Stock share amounts (except
treasury shares) and per share amounts for all periods presented in these
consolidated financial statements.
 
(14) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
  Cash Dividends and Distributions
 
     In January 1996, the Corporation declared a cash dividend on the Common
Stock in the amount of $0.05 per share or approximately $2 million in the
aggregate, and a cash distribution on the AAC Warrants of $0.05 per share of
Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the AAC Warrants or approximately
$53,000 in the aggregate. The dividend on the Common Stock and the distribution
on the AAC Warrants are payable on February 13, 1996 to holders of record at the
close of business on February 2, 1996.
 
     In January 1996, the Corporation declared a cash dividend on the Preferred
Stock in the amount of $.3682 per share or approximately $5 million in the
aggregate. The dividend on the Preferred Stock is payable on February 13, 1996,
to holders of record at the close of business on February 2, 1996.
 
  Secondary Common Stock Offering
 
     In February 1996, the Corporation completed an underwritten public offering
of 2.4 million shares of Common Stock on behalf of certain holders of Common
Stock and of warrants to purchase Common Stock. The Company received net
proceeds of $4 million from the exercise of warrants, and $5 million from the
issuance of an additional 0.2 million shares upon the exercise of the
underwriters' over-allotment option.
 
   
  DOJ Investigations -- As of January 9, 1997 (Unaudited)
    
 
   
     In 1993, Arcadian learned that the Antitrust Division of the Department of
Justice (the "DOJ") had initiated a grand-jury investigation of pricing
practices in the explosives industry. In response to a subpoena issued in that
investigation, Arcadian produced to the DOJ in 1994 and 1995 documents
concerning ammonium nitrate sold to explosives manufacturers. In late 1996 and
early 1997, Arcadian learned that the DOJ had begun contacting current and
former Arcadian employees seeking information concerning Arcadian's pricing of
ammonium nitrate in 1992. Arcadian currently has limited information concerning
the DOJ's investigations and, thus, is unable to predict their outcomes as to
Arcadian. However, Arcadian believes that neither it nor its employees have
violated the antitrust laws and that the DOJ's investigations are unlikely to
result in a material adverse effect on Arcadian.
