Prices on the global fertilizer markets have increased significantly 
since the start of the year; the earnings forecast for the whole of 
2008, drawn up by the Board of Executive Directors on 6 May 2008, 
was, as usual, based on the international fertilizer prices attained 
so far. Since then, prices have continued to increase significantly, 
particularly in the case of potash. Within the framework of the 
earnings estimate made internally on a regular basis, we have today 
come to the conclusion that in the second half of the year this will 
have a stronger and quicker effect than was previously assumed on the
earnings of the K+S Group. Previously we had assumed that the 
operating earnings (EBIT I) of the K+S Group would approximately 
triple; this would have corresponded to an EBIT I of something over 
EUR 850 million (2007: EUR 285.7 million). Considering the prices of 
over USD 800 per tonne of potassium chloride (KCI) already 
implemented on the overseas markets for the second half of the year, 
and against the background of the price increase in Europe, announced
a few days ago, to EUR 535 per tonne of KCl, we now expect the 
operating earnings (EBIT I) of the K+S Group for 2008 to be at least 
EUR 1.1 billion.
