Annual Report (Form 10-K), fiscal year 1993





Item 3. Legal Proceedings. 	 -----------------
	 Although FRP may be from time to time involved in various legal proceedings of a character normally incident to the ordinary course of its businesses, FRP believes that potential liability in any such pending or threatened proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of FRP. FRP, through FTX, maintains liability insurance to cover some, but not all, potential liabilities normally incident to the ordinary course of its businesses as well as other insurance coverages customary in its businesses, with such coverage limits as management deems prudent.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition 	 and Results of Operations 	 -----------------------------------------------------------
IMC-AGRICO COMPANY Freeport-McMoRan Resource Partners, Limited Partnership (FRP) and IMC Fertilizer, Inc. (IMC) formed a joint venture (IMC-Agrico Company), effective July 1, 1993, for their respective phosphate fertilizer businesses, including phosphate rock and uranium. IMC-Agrico Company is governed by a policy committee having equal representation from each company and is managed by IMC. Combined annual savings of at least $95 million in production, marketing, and general and administrative costs are expected to result from this transaction, the full effect beginning by the end of the second year of operations. The operating efficiencies achievable by the joint venture should enable it to generate positive cash flow in a low-price environment, such as that experienced in 1993, and to be in a position to earn significant profits if product prices rise to historical levels. As discussed below and in Note 4 to the financial statements, significant restructuring charges were recorded in connection with this transaction.
As a result of the joint venture, FRP is engaged in the phosphate rock mining, fertilizer production, and uranium oxide extraction businesses only through IMC-Agrico Company. FRP will continue to operate its sulphur and oil businesses. FRP has varying sharing ratios in IMC-Agrico Company, as discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, which were based on the projected contributions of FRP and IMC to the cash flow of the joint venture and on an equal sharing of the anticipated savings.
FRP transferred the assets it contributed to IMC-Agrico Company at their book carrying cost and proportionately consolidates its interest in IMC-Agrico Company. As a result, FRP's operating results subsequent to the formation of IMC-Agrico Company vary significantly in certain respects from those previously reported. Phosphate fertilizer realizations and unit production costs were fundamentally changed as the majority of the FRP contributed fertilizer production facilities are located on the Mississippi River, whereas the IMC contributed fertilizer production facilities are located in Florida. Fertilizer produced on the Mississippi River commands a higher sales price in the domestic market because of its proximity to markets; however, raw material transportation costs at the Florida facilities are lower for phosphate rock, partially offset by increased sulphur transportation costs.
1993 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COMPARED WITH 1992 After discussions with the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), FRP is reclassifying certain expenses and accruals previously recorded in 1993 as restructuring and valuation of assets. In response to inquiries, FRP advised the SEC staff that $3.2 million originally reported as restructuring and valuation of assets represented the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principle resulting from the adoption of the new accounting policies that FRP considered preferable, as described in Note 1 to the financial statements. FRP also informed the SEC staff of the components of other charges included in the amount originally reported as restructuring and valuation of assets. FRP concluded that the reclassification and the related supplemental disclosures more accurately reflect the nature of these charges to 1993 net income in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These reclassifications had no impact on net income or net income per share.
FRP incurred a net loss of $246.1 million ($2.37 per unit) for 1993 compared with net income of $20.2 million ($.20 per unit) for 1992. Results for 1993 were adversely impacted by charges totaling $197.3 million ($1.90 per unit) related to (a) restructuring the administrative organization at Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FTX), the general partner of FRP (Note 4), (b) asset sales/recoverability charges (Note 4), (c) adjustments to general and administrative expenses and production and delivery costs discussed below, and (d) changes in accounting principle, discussed further in Note 1 to the financial statements. Excluding these items, 1993 earnings were lower reflecting significant decreases in phosphate fertilizer, phosphate rock, sulphur, and oil revenues, primarily due to reduced sales volumes and average market prices for these products (see Selected Financial and Operating Data). Depreciation and amortization expense declined primarily because of reduced sales volumes. The reduction in general and administrative expenses reflects the benefits from the 1993 restructuring activities, partially offset by charges resulting from the restructuring project discussed below. Interest expense increased, as no interest was capitalized subsequent to the Main Pass sulphur operations becoming operational for accounting purposes in July 1993.
Restructuring Activities. During the second quarter of 1993, FTX undertook a restructuring of its administrative organization. This restructuring represented a major step by FTX to lower its costs of operating and administering its businesses in response to weak market prices of the commodities produced by its operating units. As part of this restructuring, FTX significantly reduced the number of employees engaged in administrative functions, changed its management information system (MIS) environment to achieve efficiencies, reduced its needs for office space, outsourced a number of administrative functions, and implemented other actions to lower costs. As a result of this restructuring process, which included the formation of IMC-Agrico Company, the level of FRP's administrative cost has been reduced substantially over what it would have been otherwise, which benefit will continue in the future. However, the restructuring process entailed incurring certain one-time costs by FTX, a portion of which were allocated to FRP pursuant to its management services agreement with FTX.
FRP's restructuring costs totaling $33.9 million, including $22.1 million allocated from FTX based on historical allocations, consisting of the following: $15.5 million for personnel related costs; $7.0 million relating to excess office space and furniture and fixtures resulting from the staff reduction; $1.8 million relating to the cost to downsize its computing and MIS structure; $8.8 million related to costs directly associated with the formation of IMC-Agrico Company; and $.8 million of deferred charges relating to FRP's credit facility which was substantially revised in June 1993. As of December 31, 1993, the remaining accrual for these restructuring costs totaled $3.1 million.
In connection with the restructuring project, FRP changed its accounting systems and undertook a detailed review of its accounting records and valuation of various assets and liabilities. As a result of this process, FRP recorded charges totaling $24.9 million, comprised of the following: (a) $10.0 million of production and delivery costs consisting of $6.3 million for revised estimates of environmental liabilities and $3.7 million primarily for adjustments in converting accounting systems, (b) $7.6 million of depreciation and amortization costs consisting of $6.5 million for estimated future abandonment and reclamation costs and $1.1 million for the write-down of miscellaneous properties, and (c) $7.3 million of general and administrative expenses consisting of $4.0 million to downsize FRP's computing and MIS structure and $3.3 million for the write-off of miscellaneous assets.
Agricultural Minerals Operations FRP's agricultural minerals segment, which includes its fertilizer, phosphate rock, and sulphur businesses, reported a loss of $55.9 million on revenues of $619.3 million for 1993 compared with earnings of $18.0 million on revenues of $799.0 million for 1992. Significant items impacting the segment earnings are as follows (in millions):
Agricultural minerals earnings - 1992 $ 18.0 Major increases (decreases) Sales volumes (67.4) Realizations (103.2) Other (9.1) 					 ------ Revenue variance (179.7) Cost of sales 81.4* General and administrative and other 24.4* 					 (73.9) 					 ------ Agricultural minerals earnings - 1993 $(55.9) 					 ======
- - - ------- * Includes $17.5 million in cost of sales and $7.3 million in general and administrative expenses resulting from the restructuring project discussed above.
Weak industrywide demand and changes attributable to FRP's participation in IMC-Agrico Company resulted in FRP's 1993 reported sales volumes for diammonium phosphate (DAP), its principal fertilizer product, declining 17 percent from that of a year-ago. The weakness in the phosphate fertilizer market prompted IMC-Agrico Company to make strategic curtailments in its phosphate fertilizer production. However, late in the year increased export purchases contributed to a rise in market prices, helping to rekindle domestic buying interests which had been unwilling to make purchase commitments. The increased demand, coupled with low industrywide production levels, caused reduced inventory levels. Late in 1993, IMC-Agrico Company increased its production levels in response to the improving markets and projected domestic and international demand for its fertilizer products. Unit production cost, excluding $17.5 million of changes related to the restructuring project, declined from 1992 reflecting initial production efficiencies from the joint venture, reduced raw material costs for sulphur, and lower phosphate rock mining expenses, partially offset by increased natural gas costs and lower production volumes. FRP's realization for DAP was lower reflecting the near 20-year low prices realized during 1993 as well as an increase in the lower-priced Florida sales by IMC-Agrico Company.
FRP believes that the outlook for 1994 is for improved prices caused by more normal market demand. Spot market prices improved from a low of nearly $100 per short ton of DAP (central Florida) in July 1993 to just over $140 per ton by year end. Industry inventories at year end were below average levels, despite a fourth quarter rebound in industry production. Export demand is expected to remain at more normal levels during the first half of 1994, with China, India, and Pakistan expected to be active purchasers. Additionally, domestic phosphate fertilizer demand is expected to benefit from increased corn acreage planted due to lower government set- asides and to increased fertilizer application rates necessitated by the widespread flooding that caused a depletion of nutrients in a number of midwestern states.
FRP's proportionate share of the larger IMC-Agrico Company phosphate rock operation caused 1993 sales volumes to increase from 1992, with IMC- Agrico Company operating its most efficient facilities to minimize costs.
Combined sulphur production from the Caminada and Main Pass mines increased compared with 1992; however, sales volumes declined 16 percent, primarily because of reduced purchases by IMC-Agrico Company resulting from its curtailed fertilizer production. Due to the significant decline in the market price of sulphur, FRP recorded a second-quarter 1993 noncash charge to earnings (not included in segment earnings) for the excess of capitalized cost over expected realization of its non-Main Pass sulphur assets, primarily the Caminada sulphur mine (Note 4). Due to significant improvements in Main Pass sulphur production, FRP ceased the marginally profitable Caminada operations in January 1994. The shutdown of Caminada will have no material impact on FRP's reported earnings. Although reduced global demand has forced production cutbacks worldwide, sulphur prices remain depressed. A rebound in price is not expected until demand improves.
At Main Pass, sulphur production increased significantly during 1993 and achieved, on schedule, full design operating rates of 5,500 tons per day (approximately 2 million tons per year) in December 1993 and has since sustained production at or above that level. As a result of the production increases, Main Pass sulphur became operational for accounting purposes beginning July 1, 1993. Recognizing Main Pass sulphur operations in income and discontinuing associated capitalized interest did not affect cash flow, but adversely affected reported operating results.
Oil Operation
				 1993 1992 				 ---- ---- Sales (barrels) 3,443,000 4,884,000 Average realized price $14.43 $15.91 Earnings (in millions) $(1.5) $4.6
Since completion of development drilling in mid-April 1993, oil production for the Main Pass joint venture (in which FRP owns a 58.3 percent interest) increased significantly, averaging over 20,000 barrels per day for December 1993. Production for 1994 is expected to approximate that of 1993 if water encroachment follows current trends, with the anticipated drilling of additional wells (estimated to cost FRP approximately $4 million) offsetting a production decline in existing wells. Due to the dramatic decline in oil prices at year-end, FRP recorded a $60.0 million charge to earnings (not included in segment earnings) reflecting the excess net book value of its Main Pass oil investment over the estimated future net cash flow to be received. Future price declines, increases in costs, or negative reserve revisions could result in an additional charge to future earnings.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Net cash used in operating activities during 1993 was $2.9 million compared with $120.1 million net cash provided during 1992, due primarily to lower income from operations. Net cash provided by investing activities was $2.5 million compared with $209.9 million used for 1992, reflecting the reduced level of capital expenditures (following completion of Main Pass development expenditures and the cost efficiency program during 1992) and the proceeds from asset sales. Net cash provided by financing activities during 1993 was $17.8 million reflecting net borrowings of $139.0 million partially offset by lower distributions resulting from unpaid distributions to FTX since early-1992 (discussed below), compared with $93.1 million for 1992 which had a net reduction of borrowings totaling $186.2 million funded by $430.5 million in proceeds from the public sale of FRP units in February 1992.
Cash flow from operations for 1992 was $120.1 million compared with $106.5 million for 1991. Net cash used in investing activities declined to $209.9 million from $346.9 million in 1991, due primarily to reduced capital expenditures. Net cash provided by financing activities declined to $93.1 million in 1992 from $243.5 million in 1991, with 1991 including net borrowings of $421.2 million.
Publicly owned FRP units have cumulative rights to receive quarterly distributions of 60 cents per unit through the distribution for the quarter ending December 31, 1996 (the Preference Period) before any distributions may be made to FTX. FRP has announced that beginning with the distribution for the fourth quarter of 1993 it no longer intends to supplement distributable cash with borrowings. Therefore, FRP's future distributions will be dependent on the distributions received from IMC-Agrico Company, which will primarily be determined by prices and sales volumes of its commodities and cost reductions achieved by its combined operations, and the future cash flow of FRP's oil and sulphur operations (including reclamation expenditures related to its non-Main Pass sulphur assets). On January 21, 1994, FRP declared a distribution of 60 cents per publicly held unit ($30.3 million) and 12 cents per FTX-owned unit ($6.2 million), payable February 15, 1994, bringing the total unpaid distribution due FTX to $239.2 million. Unpaid distributions due FTX will be recoverable from future FRP cash available for quarterly distributions as discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements. The January 1994 distribution included $30.9 million received from IMC-Agrico Company for its fourth-quarter 1993 distribution (including $9.3 million from working capital reductions) and $13.0 million in proceeds from the sale of certain previously mined phosphate rock acreage.
In September 1993, FTX agreed to manage for one year Fertiberia, S.L., the restructured phosphate and nitrogen fertilizer businesses of FESA Fertilizantos Espanoles, a wholly owned subsidiary of ERCROS, S.A., a Spanish conglomerate. FTX has assumed no financial obligations during this period. The goal of the management services agreement is to establish Fertiberia as a financially viable concern. If financial viability can be established, FRP has agreed to negotiate the acquisition of a controlling equity interest in Fertiberia.
In June 1993, FTX amended its credit agreement in which FRP participates, extending its maturity (Note 5). As of February 1, 1994, $425.0 million was available under the credit facility. To the extent FTX and its other subsidiaries incur additional debt, the amount available to FRP under the credit facility may be reduced. FRP believes that its short- term cash requirements will be met from internally generated funds and borrowings under its existing credit facility.
ENVIRONMENTAL
FTX and its affiliates, including FRP, have a history of commitment to environmental responsibility. Since the 1940s, long before public attention focused on the importance of maintaining environmental quality, FTX and its affiliates have conducted preoperational, bioassay, marine ecological, and other environmental surveys to ensure the environmental compatibility of its operations. FTX's Environmental Policy commits FTX and its affiliates' operations to full compliance with local, state, and federal laws and regulations, and prescribes the use of periodic environmental audits of all domestic facilities to evaluate compliance status and communicate that information to management. FTX has access to environmental specialists who have developed and implemented corporatewide environmental programs. FTX's operating units, including FRP, continue to study and implement methods to reduce discharges and emissions.
Federal legislation (sometimes referred to as "Superfund") requires payments for cleanup of certain abandoned waste disposal sites, even though such waste disposal activities were performed in compliance with regulations applicable at the time of disposal. Under the Superfund legislation, one party may, under certain circumstances, be required to bear more than its proportional share of cleanup costs at a site where it has responsibility pursuant to the legislation, if payments cannot be obtained from other responsible parties. Other legislation mandates cleanup of certain wastes at unabandoned sites. States also have regulatory programs that can mandate waste cleanup. Liability under these laws involves inherent uncertainties.
FRP has received notices from governmental agencies that it is one of many potentially responsible parties at certain sites under relevant federal and state environmental laws. Further, FRP is aware of additional sites for which it may receive such notices in the future. Some of these sites involve significant cleanup costs; however, at each of these sites other large and viable companies with equal or larger proportionate shares are among the potentially responsible parties. The ultimate settlement for such sites usually occurs several years subsequent to the receipt of notices identifying potentially responsible parties because of the many complex technical and financial issues associated with site cleanup. FRP believes that the aggregation of any costs associated with these potential liabilities will not exceed amounts accrued and expects that any costs would be incurred over a period of years.
FRP, through FTX, maintains insurance coverage in amounts deemed prudent for certain types of damages associated with environmental liabilities which arise from unexpected and unforeseen events and has an indemnification agreement covering certain acquired sites (Note 7).
FRP has made, and will continue to make, expenditures at its operations for protection of the environment. Continued government and public emphasis on environmental issues can be expected to result in increased future investments for environmental controls, which will be charged against income from future operations. Present and future environmental laws and regulations applicable to FRP's operations may require substantial capital expenditures and may affect its operations in other ways that cannot now be accurately predicted.
1992 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COMPARED WITH 1991
FRP reported 1992 net income of $20.2 million ($.20 per unit) compared with $15.0 million ($.18 per unit) for 1991, which included an insurance settlement gain (Note 7) of $17.7 million ($.21 per unit) and a charge of $96.8 million ($1.16 per unit) to reflect the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle for postretirement benefits other than pensions (Note 6). Excluding the nonrecurring items, income for 1992 was lower primarily because of reduced agricultural minerals and uranium earnings, partially offset by profitable Main Pass oil operations.
Revenues were virtually unchanged from 1991 with increases in oil and phosphate rock revenues partially offsetting a decrease in phosphate fertilizer revenues. Production and delivery costs as a percent of revenues declined due to increased oil production, which has lower production and delivery costs than FRP's other products. Depreciation and amortization expense rose primarily because of higher oil production, and general and administrative expenses increased due to the additional effort and support required by Main Pass. Interest costs of $19.1 million for 1992 and $23.3 million for 1991, associated primarily with Main Pass development, were capitalized.
Agricultural Minerals Operations Revenues and earnings for 1992 totaled $799.0 million and $18.0 million compared with $880.5 million and $78.9 million for 1991, respectively, reflecting weak market prices for phosphate fertilizers and sulphur. However, FRP's 1992 average unit production cost for phosphate fertilizers was lower than during 1991. Significant items impacting the segment earnings are as follows (in millions):
Agricultural minerals earnings - 1991 $ 78.9 Major increases (decreases) 	Sales volumes 27.0 	Realizations (107.8) 	Other (.7) 						 ------ 	 Revenue variance (81.5) 	Cost of sales 41.9 	General and administrative and other (21.3) 						 ------ 						 (60.9) 						 ------ Agricultural minerals earnings - 1992 $ 18.0 						 ======
Phosphate fertilizer sales volumes were slightly lower during 1992, whereas the average realization was 13 percent lower. Phosphate fertilizer realizations declined steadily throughout 1992 because of curtailed purchases by China, the largest single fertilizer importer, and supply and demand uncertainty in Europe, the former Soviet Union, and India. Also contributing to the decline in prices were lower raw material costs, most notably for sulphur, as producers in the weakening market passed along these cost savings to buyers in an attempt to preserve market share. FRP's phosphate rock and fertilizer facilities operated at or near capacity, with the 1992 phosphate fertilizer unit production cost averaging 7 percent less than during 1991 due to reduced raw material costs for sulphur and lower phosphate rock mining expenses, despite higher natural gas costs. Unit production cost also benefited during the latter part of 1992 as FRP completed a $60.0 million capital program to improve efficiency and lower costs.
Sulphur production and sales volumes for 1992 declined 8 percent and 7 percent, respectively, from 1991 as the Garden Island Bay and Grand Isle mines ceased production in 1991. However, production increased at the Caminada mine, which had a significantly lower unit production cost than either Garden Island Bay or Grand Isle had prior to depletion, resulting in an average sulphur unit production cost 7 percent lower than during 1991. FRP's 1992 sulphur realization reflects the price declines which occurred since mid-1991, as world sulphur markets were burdened by the collapse of the Soviet Union as well as by a further decline in demand in Western Europe. During 1992, several Canadian sulphur marketers built inventory rather than accept depressed prices; however, others intensified their efforts to sell into the important Tampa, Florida market.
Phosphate rock production and sales benefited from the capacity expansion completed in mid-1992 at one of FRP's two operated phosphate rock mines, and also reflect the output from FRP's Central Florida Pebbledale property, where sales began in July 1991 under a mining agreement with IMC.
Oil Operation 					1992 1991 				 --------- ------- Sales (barrels) 4,884,000 350,800 Average realized price $15.91 $13.34 Earnings (in millions) $4.6 $(.6)
Earnings for Main Pass, which initiated oil production in late 1991, benefited from FRP's marketing efforts, which alleviated earlier problems related to its high-sulphur oil, and high average production rates.
