Explanatory Introductory Note


As previously disclosed in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, during September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) completed a project adopting a new accounting principle as to the methods of accounting for planned major maintenance activities (“Turnarounds”). Under the new accounting principle for Turnarounds, FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. AUG AIR-1 (“FSP”), which eliminated the accrue-in-advance method of accounting for Turnarounds which was the method we were using. Under the new FSP, there were three acceptable accounting methods for Turnarounds that we could adopt. Effective January 1, 2007, we have adopted the direct expensing method which requires us to expense Turnaround costs as they are incurred. The adoption of the FSP accounting for Turnarounds is considered a change in accounting principle adopted by the FASB with retroactive application as described in SFAS 154 - Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. We are required to file this Amendment to update our 2006 Form 10-K in order to file a registration statement to register certain securities sold by us in a private placement as required by our recently completed $60 million principal amount 5.5% Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures, due 2012, to a limited number of qualified institutional buyers, as such term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. This Amendment reflects the new Turnaround accounting method for the three years ended December 31, 2006, with accompanying notes and quarterly financial data.

As a result of the new FSP for Turnarounds, this Amendment is amending the following Items contained in the Form 10-K:

·  
Selected Financial Data;
·  
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations;
·  
Financial Statements and Supplemental Data; and
·  
Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules

All other Items contained in the Form 10-K remain as set fourth in the Form 10-K.

Except for the foregoing amended information, as more fully discussed in Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2006, (“Form 10-K”), as amended by this Amendment, continues to describe conditions as of the date of the original filing of such Form 10-K, and we have not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect events that have occurred at a later date, other than subsequent events that are considered to be significant which are disclosed under “Subsequent Events” of Item 7 and in Note 23 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with a review of the other Items included in this Form 10-K, as amended by this Amendment, and our December 31, 2006 Consolidated Financial Statements (As Adjusted) included elsewhere in this report. Certain statements contained in this MD&A may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. See "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements."

Overview

General

We are a manufacturing, marketing and engineering company. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, ThermaClime, through its subsidiaries, owns substantially all of our core businesses consisting of the:

·  
Climate Control Business engaged in the manufacturing and selling of a broad range of air conditioning and heating products in the niche markets we serve consisting of geothermal and water source heat pumps, hydronic fan coils, large custom air handlers and other products used in commercial and residential new building construction, renovation of existing buildings and replacement of existing systems.
·  
Chemical Business engaged in the manufacturing and selling of chemical products produced from three plants located in Arkansas, Alabama and Texas for the industrial, mining and agricultural markets.

2006 Results

LSB’s 2006 sales were $492.0 million compared to $397.1 million in 2005, operating income was $27.1 million compared to $14.9 million in 2005 and income from continuing operations was $15.8 million compared to $5.6 million in 2005. Net income was $15.5 million compared to $5.0 million for 2005.

The Climate Control Business continued to report strong sales and operating results due to record high backlogs and new order flow. Their sales were $221.2 million compared to $156.9 million in 2005. Their operating income before allocation of corporate overhead was $25.4 million, an 80% increase over the $14.1 million in 2005.

Our Chemical Business reported improved results in 2006 with sales of $260.7 million compared to $233.4 million in 2005. Operating income before allocation of corporate overhead was $9.8 million, a 29% increase over the $7.6 million in 2005.

Climate Control Business

The Climate Control Business has historically and consistently generated annual profits and positive cash flows and continues to do so. Climate Control’s sales for 2006 were $221 million, a
 
4

 
41% increase from the same period last year. As indicated above the Climate Control Business’ sales and operating income for 2006 were higher than in 2005. The increase in 2006 sales and operating income as compared to 2005 is attributable to strong demand for the geothermal and water source heat pumps that reported a 57% sales increase and to the fan coil and other products that reported a 21% increase. Management’s objectives for the Climate Control Business include the continued emphasis on:

·  
increasing the sales and operating margins of all products,
·  
developing and introducing new and energy efficient products, and
·  
increasing production to meet customer demand.

Most of the products of the Climate Control Business are produced to customer orders that are placed well in advance of required delivery dates. As a result, the Climate Control Business maintains significant backlogs that eliminate the necessity to carry substantial inventories other than for firm customer orders. Due to the increase in the demand for Climate Control’s products, the backlog of confirmed orders has also increased. The backlog of confirmed orders at December 31, 2006, was approximately $80 million as compared to $56 million at 2005 and $28 million at 2004. We anticipate shipping substantially all of this backlog within twelve months.

Management is taking certain actions to increase the production level to reduce the product delivery lead times and the current backlog. In response to record intake level of customer orders, we recently increased our unit output through additional shifts and overtime. Management has also invested $4.9 million in fabrication equipment, plant-wide process control systems and other upgrades during 2006 and has plans for additional production equipment during 2007 including $3.6 million already committed. This investment is expected to increase capacity and reduce overtime. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2006, we acquired a 46,000 sq. ft. building adjacent to our existing 270,000 sq. ft. geothermal and water source heat pump production facility at an approximate cost of $2.5 million to increase production and warehouse space. We have also committed approximately $1.2 million to renovate an existing building as a distribution center for our geothermal and water source heat pumps. At December 31, 2006, approximately $0.3 million of the $1.2 million commitment had been expended. Both of these real property investments have been financed by mortgages.

In October 2006, Trison Construction, Inc. (“Trison”), a subsidiary within our Climate Control Business, was awarded reimbursement of defense costs of $1.2 million in connection with a binding arbitration filed with the American Arbitration Association. The amount was paid in the fourth quarter and is classified as other income which is included in operating income.

Our Climate Control Business will continue to launch new products and product upgrades in an effort to maintain our current market position and to establish a presence in new markets. In recent periods, the Climate Control Business's profitability was affected by operating losses of certain new product lines being developed over the past few years. Our emphasis has been to increase the sales levels of these operations above the breakeven point. During 2006, the results for these new products have not improved appreciably. We believe that the prospects for these new product lines are improving and that these products will contribute favorably in the future.

Chemical Business

The Chemical Business has production facilities in Baytown, Texas (the “Baytown” facility), El Dorado, Arkansas (the “El Dorado” facility) and Cherokee, Alabama (the “Cherokee” facility). Baytown and El Dorado produce nitrogen products from anhydrous ammonia that is delivered by pipeline. Cherokee produces nitrogen products from natural gas that is delivered by pipeline. As indicated above, for 2006, the Chemical Business reported a sales increase of $27.2 million or 12% and a $2.2 million or 29% increase in operating income before allocation of corporate overhead.
 
Sales in all product lines were higher in 2006 in tons shipped, while our average price per ton remained consistent with 2005. Industrial acids and other chemical products increased $15.0 million or 18.7%; agricultural products increased $9.1 million or 11.3%; and mining products increased $3.1 million or 4.3%. Agricultural volumes increased in spite of a severe drought throughout the mid-south and southeast United States. The increase in agricultural volume is attributable to our ability to reach outside our traditional geographic markets and sell into markets previously served by competitors that have exited the market.

The increase in operating income is attributable to higher industrial acid and agricultural sales, the improvement in production performance due to higher throughput volumes, and an improvement in the natural gas supply and corresponding average costs as the result of the hurricane disruptions of 2005.

Our raw materials, anhydrous ammonia and natural gas, are commodities subject to significant price fluctuations, and generally purchased at prices in effect at time of purchase. Due to the uncertainty of the sales prices of our products in relation to the cost of anhydrous ammonia and natural gas, we have developed some customers that purchase substantial quantities of products pursuant to sales agreements and/or formulas that provide for the pass through of these raw material costs. These pricing arrangements help mitigate the commodity price risk inherent in anhydrous ammonia and natural gas. Approximately 65% of the Chemical Business’ sales in 2006 were subject to these pricing arrangements.

Although anhydrous ammonia is produced from natural gas, the price of anhydrous ammonia does not necessarily follow the price of natural gas in the United States. Much of the anhydrous ammonia consumed in the U.S. is produced off shore and delivered inland by pipeline, barge and rail with originations at or near the Gulf of Mexico. Our raw material cost of anhydrous ammonia is based upon formulas indexed to published industry ammonia prices tied to import prices.

Most of the production from Baytown is sold pursuant to a long-term supply agreement that provides for the pass through of certain production costs including anhydrous ammonia. This facility continues to generate consistent operating profits and reported higher sales and profits in 2006 than in 2005.

El Dorado produces approximately 500,000 tons of products per year from purchased anhydrous ammonia. Approximately 59% of the volume sold in 2006 was sold pursuant to pricing arrangements that allow for the pass through of the cost of anhydrous ammonia to the customer. The balance of these products sold during 2006 was primarily agricultural and was
 
6

 
sold at the spot market price in effect at the time of shipment. During August 2006, a sales agreement for El Dorado to supply a significant amount of industrial grade ammonium nitrate each year pursuant to pricing arrangements was amended with mutual benefit to the parties for a term extending through 2010. The amendment provides for, among other things, an increase of 10% of the minimum annual tons beginning in 2007 and a price increase in the profit-per-ton component.

Following a trial in October 2006, a jury verdict awarded El Dorado approximately $9.8 million in damages due to the faulty repair of a hot gas expander in one of EDC’s nitric acid plants. EDC will pay attorneys fees equal to 31.67% of any recovery. The award is under appeal and will be recognized if and when realized.

As previously reported, Cherokee incurred losses in the third and fourth quarters of 2005 and continuing into the first quarter 2006, related to disruptions at the plant caused by the record climb in natural gas costs due to the hurricanes in the U.S. Gulf. Although Cherokee’s operating results were negative for 2006, due to high natural gas costs in the first quarter and downtime in the third and fourth quarters, the 2006 operating loss was reduced from 2005.

Natural gas prices continue to be unpredictable. Daily spot prices per MMBtu, excluding transportation, during 2006 ranged from a high of $9.90 to a low of $3.54. During 2006, approximately 71% of Cherokee’s sales were priced to include the cost of natural gas.

Our Chemical Business will continue to focus on growing our non-seasonal industrial customer base with an emphasis on customers that accept the risk inherent with raw material costs, while maintaining a strong presence in the seasonal agricultural sector. The operations strategy is to maximize production of the plants, thereby lowering the fixed cost of each ton of production.

Stock Options

On June 19, 2006, the Executive Compensation and Option Committee of our Board of Directors granted 450,000 shares of non-qualified stock options to certain employees which are subject to shareholders’ approval. The option price of these options is $8.01 per share which is based on the market value of our common stock at the date of authorization. These options will vest over a ten-year period at a rate of 10% per year and expire on September 16, 2016 with certain restrictions. Under SFAS 123(R), the fair value for these options will be estimated, using an option pricing model, as of the date we receive shareholders’ approval which is currently expected to be no later than our 2007 annual shareholders’ meeting. In general, a ratable portion of the total estimated fair value relating to these options will be charged to selling, general, and administrative expense (“SG&A”) at the date of shareholders’ approval and the remaining balance amortized to SG&A over the options’ remaining vesting period.

Preferred Stock Exchanges and Completion of Exchange Offer 

During October 2006, we entered into Exchange Agreements with certain holders of our Series 2 Preferred. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreements we issued 773,655 shares of our common stock in exchange for 104,548 shares of Series 2 Preferred. The holders that were
 
7

 
parties to an Exchange Agreement waived their rights to all unpaid dividends on the Series 2 Preferred exchanged which totaled approximately $2.43 million.

As discussed under “Sale of Unregistered Securities” of Item 5, during November 2006, the Company entered into the Jayhawk Agreement with the Jayhawk Group. Under the Jayhawk Agreement, the Jayhawk Group agreed to tender in an exchange offer (discussed below) 180,450 shares of Series 2 Preferred owned by the Jayhawk Group. In addition, as a condition to the Jayhawk Group’s obligation to tender such shares of Series 2 Preferred in an exchange offer, the Jayhawk Agreement further provided that the Golsen Group would exchange 26,467 shares of Series 2 Preferred beneficially owned by them.

Our Board of Directors approved and on February 9, 2007, we began an exchange offer to exchange shares of our common stock for up to 309,807 shares of the Series 2 Preferred. The terms of the exchange offer provided for the issuance by the Company of 7.4 shares of common stock in exchange for each share of Series 2 Preferred tendered in the exchange offer and the waiver of all rights to accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series 2 Preferred tendered. As a result of this exchange offer, we issued 2,262,965 shares of our common stock for 305,807 shares of Series 2 Preferred that were tendered. In addition, an aggregate of approximately $7.3 million in accrued and unpaid dividends were waived as a result of this exchange offer. This exchange transaction qualified as an induced conversion under SFAS 84. As a result, in the first quarter of 2007, we will record a charge (stock dividend) to accumulated deficit which will equal the excess of the fair value of the common stock issued over the fair value of the common stock issuable pursuant to the original conversion terms. In addition, such stock dividend will decrease net income applicable to common stock, thereby negatively impacting earnings per common share for the first quarter of 2007.

Pursuant to the Jayhawk Agreement and the terms of the exchange offer, the Jayhawk Group and the Golsen Group tendered 180,450 and 26,467 shares, respectively, of Series 2 Preferred for 1,335,330 and 195,855 shares, respectively, of our common stock and waived a total of approximately $5.0 million in accrued and unpaid dividends.

Amendments to the Series 2 Preferred

On March 6, 2007, our stockholders approved two amendments to the Series 2 Preferred, which amendments became effective on that date. The first amendment provides that the right of the holders of the Series 2 Preferred to elect two directors to our board of directors when at least six quarterly dividends on the Series 2 Preferred are in arrears and unpaid may be exercised only if and so long as at least 140,000 shares of Series 2 Preferred are issued and outstanding. The second amendment permits us to purchase or otherwise acquire shares of our common stock for a five-year period even though cumulative accrued and unpaid dividends exist on the Series 2 Preferred. The five-year period commenced on March 13, 2007, upon the completion of the exchange offer.


Business Interruption and Property Insurance Claims

El Dorado - Beginning in October 2004 and continuing into June 2005, the Chemical Business’ results were adversely affected as a result of the loss of production due to a mechanical failure of one of the four nitric acid plants at the El Dorado, Arkansas plant. The plant was restored to normal production in June 2005. We filed a property damage insurance claim for $3.8 million, net of a $1.0 million deductible. We also filed a business interruption claim for $5.0 million, net of the forty-five day waiting period. As of December 31, 2006, the insurers have paid claims totaling $5.5 million. The insurers are contesting our remaining claims.

On March 23, 2006, we filed a lawsuit in Federal Court in the Western District of Arkansas, El Dorado Division, to collect amounts from our insurers to which we believe we are owed under the policy. The total amount claimed under the lawsuit which includes business interruption and property claims, is approximately $2.3 million, plus attorney fees. Additional recoveries, if any, will be recognized when realized.

Cherokee - As a result of damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, the natural gas pipeline servicing the Cherokee Facility suffered damage and the owner of the pipeline declared an event of Force Majeure. This event of Force Majeure caused curtailments and interruption in the delivery of natural gas to the Cherokee Facility. Cherokee Nitrogen Company’s (“CNC”) insurer was promptly put on notice of a claim, but the quantification of the claim amount took time and involved the retention of a gas market expert and a business interruption consultant.

On September 25, 2006, CNC filed a contingent business interruption claim. CNC is now in discussions with, and providing additional documentation to, the forensic accountant hired by CNC’s insurers to examine the claim. The recovery of this claim, if any, will be recognized when realized.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As a diversified holding company, cash requirements are primarily dependent upon credit agreements and our ability to obtain funds from our ThermaClime and non-ThermaClime subsidiaries.

On March 14, 2006, we completed an $18.0 million private placement of the Company’s 7% Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2011 (the “Debentures”). Interest on the Debentures is payable semi-annually each year beginning September 1, 2006. We used substantially all of the net proceeds of $16.5 million from the Debentures to purchase or redeem higher interest rate debt, including ThermaClime’s 10 3/4% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2007 (“Senior Unsecured Notes”). The remaining balance was used for general corporate purposes.

Our total outstanding debt at December 31, 2006 was $97.7 million compared to $112.1 million at December 31, 2005.

During the third and fourth quarters of 2006, $14.0 million of the Debentures were converted into common stock at $7.08 per common share. At December 31, 2006, there were $4.0 million of Debentures outstanding. In February 2007, there were additional conversions of $3.0 million

leaving $1.0 million currently outstanding. The conversions from debt to stockholders’ equity of $17.0 million improves the Company’s debt leverage ratio. As a result of the $17.0 million conversions, annual interest expense will be reduced by approximately $1.2 million.

Historically, ThermaClime’s primary cash needs have been for working capital and capital expenditures. ThermaClime and its subsidiaries depend upon their Working Capital Revolver Loan, internally generated cash flows, and secured equipment financing in order to fund operations and pay obligations.

The Working Capital Revolver Loan and the Senior Secured Loan have financial covenants that are discussed below under “Loan Agreements - Terms and Conditions”.

ThermaClime’s ability to maintain an adequate amount of borrowing availability under its Working Capital Revolver Loan depends on its ability to comply with the terms and conditions of its loan agreements and its ability to generate cash flow from operations. ThermaClime is restricted under its credit agreements as to the funds it may transfer to the Company and its non-ThermaClime affiliates and certain ThermaClime subsidiaries. This limitation does not prohibit payment to the Company of amounts due under a Services Agreement, Management Agreement and a Tax Sharing Agreement. ThermaClime’s Working Capital Revolver is a $50.0 million facility. As of December 31, 2006, ThermaClime had availability for additional borrowing under its Working Capital Revolver Loan of $22.8 million. Borrowing availability is based upon certain percentages of accounts receivable and inventory.

The Company is discussing with prospective lenders, the possibilities of refinancing certain outstanding debt at more favorable terms, including, among other issues, reduced interest rates. As of the date of this report, the Company has not entered into definitive negotiations with any prospective lender to provide such refinancing. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in their efforts to refinance portions of its outstanding debt, or that if the Company is successful in refinancing any of its outstanding debt that the terms will be more favorable than the terms of the outstanding debt.

Capital Expenditures

General

Capital expenditures in 2006 were $14.7 million, including $7.7 million primarily for additional capacity in the Climate Control Business and $7.0 million for the Chemical Business, primarily for process and reliability improvements of existing facilities. As discussed below, our current commitment for 2007 includes spending for production equipment, facilities upgrades and capacity expansion in the Climate Control Business and spending for production equipment and environmental compliance in the Chemical Business.

Other capital expenditures for 2007 are believed to be discretionary and are dependent upon an adequate amount of liquidity and/or obtaining acceptable funding. We have carefully managed those expenditures to projects necessary to execute our business plans and those for environmental and safety compliance.

Current Commitments

As of the date of this report, we have committed capital expenditures of approximately $8.4 million for production equipment, facilities upgrades and environmental compliance in 2007. The expenditures include $4.8 million for the Chemical Business and $3.6 million for the Climate Control Business. We plan to finance approximately $3.6 million and the balance will be funded from working capital.

In addition, we plan to spend approximately $0.9 million in 2007 ($1.2 million in total) on an existing building to expand the distribution facilities of our geothermal and water source heat pump business which has been funded by mortgage debt.

In addition, certain additional capital expenditures will be required to bring the sulfuric acid plant's air emissions to lower limits. There have been minimal expenditures on this project since 2004. The ultimate cost is believed to be between $2.5 million and $4.0 million, to be expended through February 2010. Currently, there are no committed capital expenditures for the project.

The ADEQ issued to El Dorado a new revised NPDES water discharge permit in 2004, and El Dorado has until June 2007 to meet the compliance deadline for the more restrictive limits under the recently issued NPDES permit. In order to meet El Dorado’s June 2007 limits, El Dorado is considering three options to discharge its wastewater.

The estimated remaining capital expenditures to meet the requirements of the NPDES permit ranges from $0.8 million to $2.8 million, depending on which option El Dorado utilizes or is required to utilize to meet the permit requirements.

Dividends

We have not paid cash dividends on our outstanding common stock in many years, and from 1999 through 2005, we had not paid any dividends on our outstanding cumulative preferred stock. During each of the quarters of 2006, our Board of Directors declared and we paid partial dividends on certain outstanding series of our preferred stock as follows: $.10 per share on our outstanding Series 2 Preferred, $.37 per share on our outstanding Series B Preferred, and $.31 per share on our outstanding Non-Cumulative Preferred. These dividends were not for the full amount of the required quarterly dividends pursuant to the terms of all of our outstanding series of preferred stock. See discussion under “Dividends” and “Sale of Unregistered Securities” of Item 5 concerning the issuance of common stock in exchange for a portion of the Series 2 Preferred in October 2006 and March 2007. As of March 19, 2007, there were approximately $6.8 million of unpaid dividends on our outstanding cumulative preferred stock. We intend to retain most of our future earnings, if any, to provide funds for our operations and/or expansion of our business.

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our outstanding common stock in the foreseeable future, and until all unpaid dividends are paid on our outstanding cumulative preferred stock, no dividends may be paid on our common stock.

Compliance with Long-Term Debt Covenants

As discussed below under “Loan Agreements - Terms and Conditions”, the Senior Secured Loan and Working Capital Revolver Loan, as amended, of ThermaClime and its subsidiaries require, among other things, that ThermaClime meet certain financial covenants. ThermaClime's forecasts for 2007 indicate that ThermaClime will be able to meet all required covenant tests.

Summary

Cash flow and liquidity will continue to be managed very carefully. We believe, with the $15.9 million net income for 2006 and the infusion of new capital as a result of the debenture offering and the subsequent conversion of the debentures to stockholders’ equity, our capital base is improved. Based upon current forecasts, we should have adequate cash from internal cash flows and financing sources to enable us to satisfy our cash requirements for 2007. Due to the volatility of the cost of major raw materials, we have historically experienced revisions to financial forecasts on a frequent basis during the course of a year. As a result, actual results may differ from our forecast, which could have a material impact on our liquidity and future operating results.

Loan Agreements - Terms and Conditions

7% Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures - On March 14, 2006, we completed a private placement to six qualified institutional buyers, pursuant to which we sold $18.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 7% Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2011 (the “Debentures”). Interest on the Debentures is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year which began September 1, 2006.

The Debentures are convertible by holders, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company’s common stock prior to their maturity on March 1, 2011. Holders of Debentures electing to convert all or any portion of a Debenture will obtain the following conversion rate per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures during the dates indicated:

The conversion rates will be adjusted to reflect dividends, stock splits, issuances of rights to purchase shares of common stock and other events, as set forth in the Indenture.

We have used substantially all of the net proceeds for the purchase or redemption of our higher interest rate debt or debt of our subsidiaries, including ThermaClime’s Senior Unsecured Notes. The remaining balance was used for general corporate purposes.


Approximately $13.6 million of the net proceeds have been used to purchase or redeem all of the Senior Unsecured Notes held by unrelated third parties and Jayhawk at ThermaClime’s carrying value (which includes $1.0 million that was held by Jayhawk) including accrued interest of $0.3 million. Approximately $6.95 million of the Senior Unsecured Notes held by us remain outstanding.

During 2006, $14 million of the Debentures were converted into 1,977,499 shares of our common stock at the conversion price of $7.08 per share. Certain of the conversions related to offers received from the holders and accepted by us which included additional consideration of $277,000 to be paid to the holders. Because the offer met the criteria within SFAS 84-Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt, the additional consideration was expensed. During February 2007, an additional $3.0 million of the Debentures were converted into common stock at the conversion price of $7.08 per common share.

Working Capital Revolver Loan - ThermaClime finances its working capital requirements through borrowings under a Working Capital Revolver Loan. Under the Working Capital Revolver Loan, ThermaClime and its subsidiaries may borrow on a revolving basis up to $50.0 million based on specific percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventories. The Working Capital Revolver Loan matures in April 2009. As of December 31, 2006, borrowings outstanding were $26.0 million and the net credit available for additional borrowings was $22.8 million. The Working Capital Revolver Loan requires that ThermaClime and its Climate Control Business meet certain financial covenants measured quarterly. ThermaClime and its Climate Control Business were in compliance with those covenants for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2006.

Senior Secured Loan - In September 2004, ThermaClime and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Borrowers”) completed a $50.0 million term loan (“Senior Secured Loan”) with a certain lender (the “Lender”). The Senior Secured Loan is to be repaid as follows:
 
·  
quarterly interest payments which began September 30, 2004;
·  
quarterly principal payments of $312,500 beginning September 30, 2007;
·  
a final payment of the remaining outstanding principal of $47.5 million and accrued interest on September 16, 2009.

The Senior Secured Loan accrues interest at the applicable LIBOR rate, as defined, plus an applicable LIBOR margin, as defined or, at the election of the Borrowers, the alternative base rate, as defined, plus an applicable base rate margin, as defined, with the annual interest rate not to exceed 11% or 11.5% depending on the leverage ratio. At December 31, 2006, the annual interest rate was 11%.

The Borrowers are subject to numerous affirmative and negative covenants under the Senior Secured Loan agreement including, but not limited to, limitation on the incurrence of certain additional indebtedness and liens, limitations on mergers, acquisitions, dissolution and sale of assets, and limitations on declaration of dividends and distributions to us, all with certain exceptions. The Borrowers are also subject to a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, measured

 
quarterly on a trailing twelve-month basis. The Borrowers were in compliance with the required minimum ratio for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2006 and the coverage ratio is considered to be achievable for 2007. The maturity date of the Senior Secured Loan can be accelerated by the Lender upon the occurrence of a continuing event of default, as defined.

Cross - Default Provisions - The Working Capital Revolver Loan agreement and the Senior Secured Loan contain cross-default provisions. If ThermaClime fails to meet the financial covenants of the Senior Secured Loan, the lender may declare an event of default, making the debt due on demand. If this should occur, there are no assurances that we would have funds available to pay such amount or that alternative borrowing arrangements would be available. Accordingly, ThermaClime could be required to curtail operations and/or sell key assets. These actions could result in the recognition of losses that may be material.

Seasonality

We believe that our only seasonal products are fertilizer and related chemical products sold by our Chemical Business to the agricultural industry. The selling seasons for those products are primarily during the spring and fall planting seasons, which typically extend from March through June and from September through November in the geographical markets in which the majority of our agricultural products are distributed. As a result, our Chemical Business increases its inventory of agricultural products prior to the beginning of each planting season. In addition, the amount and timing of sales to the agricultural markets depend upon weather conditions and other circumstances beyond our control.

Related Party Transactions

One of the manufacturing facilities within our Climate Control Business sustained substantial water damage in its office area resulting from the improper installation by an unrelated third-party vendor of certain plumbing to a water line. As a result of the water damage, it became necessary to replace all of the carpet in the office area of the facility. During 2006, we purchased replacement carpet from a company (“Designer Rugs”) owned by Linda Golsen Rappaport, the daughter of Jack E. Golsen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and sister of Barry H. Golsen, our President. We paid approximately $159,000 to Designer Rugs for the new carpet, removal of the damaged carpeting and installation of the new carpet. During the second quarter of 2006, we were reimbursed under our insurance coverage for the cost of the carpet and installation except for a deductible amount of $25,000.

In addition, another subsidiary within our Climate Control Business is in the process of remodeling their offices including the replacement of carpet and flooring throughout the office area. Payments totaling $69,000 were made during 2006 towards a purchase totaling $75,000 from Designer Rugs. Substantially all of the carpet was delivered and installed in 2006. Final completion expected early in 2007.

During 2006, Jayhawk purchased $1.0 million principal amount of the Debentures. In addition, we purchased $1.0 million principal amount of the Notes held by Jayhawk. Jayhawk earned interest of $117,000 relating to these debt instruments in 2006.
 
During 2006 we paid nominal cash dividends to holders of certain series of our preferred stock. These dividend payments included $91,000 and $133,000 to the Golsen Group and the Jayhawk Group, respectively. Additionally, the dividend payments included $23,000 collectively to the significant shareholders discussed below.

As discussed above under “Overview-Preferred Stock Exchanges and Completion of Exchange Offer”, in October 2006, we issued 773,655 shares of our common stock to certain holders of our Series 2 Preferred in exchange for 104,548 shares of Series 2 Preferred. The shares of common stock issued included 303,400 and 262,167 shares issued for exchange for 41,000 and 35,428 shares of Series 2 Preferred stock to Paul Denby and James Sight (“Significant Shareholders”), respectively, or to entities controlled by the Significant Shareholders.

As discussed above under “Overview-Preferred Stock Exchanges and Completion of Exchange Offer”, during November 2006, we entered into the Jayhawk Agreement with the Jayhawk Group. Under the Jayhawk Agreement, the Jayhawk Group agreed, if we made an exchange offer for the Series 2 Preferred, to tender 180,450 shares of the 346,662 shares of Series 2 Preferred owned by the Jayhawk Group. In addition, as a condition to the Jayhawk Group’s obligation to tender the shares of Series 2 Preferred in an exchange offer, the Jayhawk Agreement further provided that the Golsen Group would exchange 26,467 shares of Series 2 Preferred beneficially owned by them. Pursuant to the Jayhawk Agreement and the terms of the exchange offer, during March 2007, the Jayhawk Group and the Golsen Group tendered 180,450 and 26,467 shares, respectively, of Series 2 Preferred for 1,335,330 and 195,855 shares, respectively, of our common stock and waived a total of approximately $5.0 million in accrued and unpaid dividends.

Subsequent Events
 
On June 28, 2007, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement, with each of 22 qualified institutional buyers (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company sold $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.5% Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2012 (the “2007 Debentures”) in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to the exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), afforded by Section 4(2) of the Act and Regulation D promulgated under the Act. The 2007 Debentures bear interest at the rate of 5.5% per year. Interest is payable on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2008. The net proceeds received by the Company in connection with this sale, after discounts and commissions were approximately $57 million. The Company has currently invested the net proceeds in money market investments and has or intends to use the net proceeds, to redeem its outstanding shares of $3.25 Convertible Exchangeable Class C Preferred Stock, Series 2 ("Series 2 Preferred"); to repay certain outstanding mortgages and equipment loans; to pay accrued and unpaid dividends on its outstanding shares of Series B 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and Series D 6% Cumulative Convertible Class C Preferred Stock; and the balance to initially reduce outstanding  borrowing under existing revolving working credit facility, for certain discretionary capital expenditures and general working capital purposes.
 
The 2007 Debentures are convertible by holders in whole or in part into shares of the Company’s common stock prior to their maturity on July 1, 2012. The conversion rate of the 2007 Debentures for holders electing to convert all or any portion of a 2007 Debenture is 36.4 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of debentures (representing a conversion price of $27.47 per share of common stock), subject to adjustment under certain conditions as set forth in the Indenture.
 
The Company has also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Purchasers, which required the Company to register the 2007 Debentures, and the shares of common stock into which they are convertible, within 60 days of the closing of the Purchase Agreement, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective within 150 days of such closing date. The Company is also required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement effective until July 1, 2010

As of June 29, 2007, we became an accelerated filer because our public float held by non-affiliates exceeded the $75 million threshold. As a result, we will be required to provide a management’s report on our internal control over financial reporting and an assessment of such report by our independent auditors in our Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2007. In addition, we will incur additional costs to meet the requirements as an accelerated filer for the year ending December 31, 2007.
 
On July 11, 2007, our Board of Directors approved the redemption of all of our outstanding Series 2 Preferred. We mailed a notice of redemption to all holders of record of our Series 2 Preferred on July 12, 2007. The redemption date is scheduled for August 27, 2007, and the redemption price is $50.00 per share of Series 2 Preferred, plus $26.25 per share in accrued and unpaid dividends pro-rata to the date of redemption. As of the date of this report, 193,295 shares of Series 2 Preferred were outstanding. The Series 2 Preferred will be redeemed using a portion of the proceeds of the 2007 Debentures.
 
The holders of shares of Series 2 Preferred have the right to convert each share into 4.329 shares of our common stock, which right to convert terminates 10 days prior to the redemption date. If a holder converts its shares of Series 2 Preferred, the holder would not be entitled to any accrued and unpaid dividends as to the shares of Series 2 Preferred converted. If all of the outstanding shares Series 2 Preferred are converted, 836,774 shares of our common stock would be issuable.
 
As stated above, we intend to use a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the 2007 Debentures to redeem our Series 2 Preferred. The Series 2 Preferred is a cumulative preferred. As a result, if we redeem the Series 2 Preferred, we are obligated to pay, in cash, a redemption price for each share redeemed of $50.00 per share, plus $26.25 per share of accrued and unpaid dividends thereon pro-rata to the date of redemption. If, after notice of redemption is given, a holder of the Series 2 Preferred elects to convert his, her or its shares into our common stock pursuant to its terms, the Certificate of Designation for the Series 2 Preferred provides, and it is
 
 
the Company’s position, that the holder that so converts will not be entitled to receive payment of any accrued and unpaid dividends on the shares so converted. The Company has been advised by an affiliate that is the Company’s second largest stockholder, Jayhawk Capital Management, Inc. and other Jayhawk entities, through their manager, Kent McCarthy (the “Jayhawk Group”), that if the Company redeems the Series 2 Preferred and the Jayhawk Group thereafter converts its holding of Series 2 Preferred, the Jayhawk Group may bring legal proceedings against us for all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series 2 Preferred that the Jayhawk Group may convert after receiving a notice of redemption. As of the date of this report, there was approximately $4.0 million of accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series 2 Preferred held by the Jayhawk Group.

Upon completion of the redemption of our outstanding Series 2 Preferred, the two independent directors elected by the holders of our Series 2 Preferred will no longer serve as directors on our board of directors. The American Stock Exchange (“ASE”) requires that at least a majority of the directors on the board of directors of companies listed on the ASE be independent. When the two directors elected by the Series 2 Preferred cease to be directors, the independent directors will no longer be a majority of our board of directors. If upon completion of the redemption we are unable, or otherwise fail, to appoint two additional independent directors to our board of directors or reduce the number of our non-independent directors, our board would no longer have a majority of independent directors, and we would not meet the required listing standards of the ASE. In such event, the ASE could issue a warning letter or a deficiency letter or it could delist our common stock.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our critical accounting policy relating to plant turnaround costs has been changed as discussed under “Explanatory Introduction Note.”

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosures of contingencies. In addition, the more critical areas of financial reporting impacted by management's judgment, estimates and assumptions include the following:
 
Receivables and Credit Risk - Our sales to contractors and independent sales representatives are generally subject to a mechanics lien in the Climate Control Business. Our other sales are generally unsecured. Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition and other factors. Credit losses are provided for in the financial statements based on historical experience and periodic assessment of outstanding accounts receivable, particularly those accounts which are past due (determined based upon how recently payments have been received). Our periodic assessment of accounts and credit loss provisions are based on our best estimate of amounts that are not recoverable. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the large number of customers comprising our customer bases and their dispersion across many different industries and geographic areas, however, 10 customers account for approximately 30% of our total net receivables at December 31, 2006. We do not believe this concentration in these 10 customers represents a significant credit risk due to the financial stability of these customers. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, our allowance for doubtful accounts of $2.3 million and $2.7 million, respectively, were netted against our accounts receivable.
 
 
 
Inventory Valuations - Inventories are priced at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined using the first-in, first-out basis. Finished goods and work-in-process inventories include material, labor and manufacturing overhead costs. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the carrying value of certain nitrogen-based inventories produced by our Chemical Business was reduced to market because cost exceeded the net realizable value by $0.4 million and $1.4 million, respectively. In addition, the carrying value of certain slow-moving inventory items (primarily Climate Control products) was reduced to market because cost exceeded the net realizable value by $0.8 million and $1.0 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
 
Precious Metals - Precious metals are used as a catalyst in the Chemical Business manufacturing processes. Precious metals are carried at cost, with cost being determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, precious metals were $6.4 million and $5.0 million, respectively, and are included in supplies, prepaid items and other in the consolidated balance sheets. Because some of the catalyst consumed in the production process cannot be readily recovered and the amount and timing of recoveries are not predictable, we follow the practice of expensing precious metals as they are consumed. For 2006, 2005 and 2004, the amounts expensed for precious metals were approximately $5.1 million, $3.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively, and are included in cost of sales. Periodically, during major maintenance or capital projects we may be able to perform procedures to recover precious metals (previously expensed) which have accumulated within the manufacturing equipment. For 2006, 2005 and 2004, we recognized recoveries of precious metals at historical FIFO costs of approximately $2.4 million, $2.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, which are reductions to cost of sales.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill - Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable and goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually. If assets to be held and used are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair values of the assets as measured by the present value of future net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets or their appraised value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amounts of the assets or fair values less costs to sell. At December 31, 2006, we had no long-lived assets that met the criteria presented in SFAS 144 to be classified as assets held for sale. We have considered impairment of our long-lived assets and goodwill. We obtained third party appraisals of the fair values associated with Cherokee and made estimates of fair values for others. The timing of impairments cannot be predicted with reasonable certainty and are primarily dependent on market conditions outside our control. Should sales prices permanently decline dramatically without a similar decline in the raw material costs or should other matters, including the environmental requirements and/or operating requirements set by Federal and State agencies change substantially from our current expectations, a provision for impairment may be required based upon such event or events. See Item 1 "Business-Environmental Matters." Based on estimates obtained from external sources and internal estimates based on inquiry and other techniques, we recognized impairments relating to certain non-core equipment of $0.1 million and $0.4 million relating to Corporate assets during 2005 and 2004, respectively, (none in 2006) and $0.3 million, $0.1 million and $0.4 million relating to certain capital spare parts and idle assets in our Chemical Business during 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. These impairments are included in other expense in the consolidated statements of income.

 
 
Accrued Insurance Liabilities - We are self-insured up to certain limits for group health, workers’ compensation and general liability insurance claims. Above these limits, we have insurance coverage, which management considers to be adequate. Our accrued insurance liabilities are based on estimates of the self-insured portions of the claims, which include the incurred claims amounts plus estimates of future claims development calculated by applying our historical claims development factors to our incurred claims amounts. We also consider the reserves established by our insurance adjustors and/or estimates provided by attorneys handling the claims, if any. In addition, our accrued insurance liabilities include estimates of incurred, but not reported, claims and other insurance-related costs. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, our claims liabilities were $1.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively, and are included in accrued and other liabilities. It is possible that the actual development of claims could exceed our estimates.

Product Warranty - Our Climate Control Business sells equipment for which we provide warranties covering defects in materials and workmanship. Generally, the base warranty coverage for most of the manufactured equipment is limited to 18 months from the date of shipment or 12 months from the date of start-up, whichever is shorter, and to 90 days for spare parts. In some cases, the customer may purchase an extended warranty. Our accounting policy and methodology for warranty arrangements is to periodically measure and recognize the expense and liability for such warranty obligations using a percentage of net sales, based on historical warranty costs. It is possible that future warranty costs could exceed our estimates. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, our accrued product warranty obligations were $1.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively and are included in current and noncurrent accrued and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Plant Turnaround Costs - As discussed under “Explanatory Introduction Note,” we expense the costs as they are incurred relating to planned major maintenance activities (“Turnarounds”) of our Chemical Business as described as the direct expensing method within Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Staff Position No. AUG AIR-1. 

Executive Benefit Agreements - We have entered into benefit agreements with certain key executives. Costs associated with these individual benefit agreements are accrued when they become probable over the estimated remaining service period. Total costs accrued equal the present value of specified payments to be made after benefits become payable. In 1992, we entered into individual benefit agreements with certain key executives (“1992 Agreements”) that provide for annual benefit payments for life (in addition to salary). As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the liability for these benefits under the 1992 Agreements is $1.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively, which is included in current and noncurrent accrued and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

In 1981, we entered into individual death benefit agreements with certain key executives. In addition, as part of the 1992 Agreements, should the executive die prior to attaining the age of 65, we will pay the beneficiary named in the agreement in 120 equal monthly installments aggregating to an amount specified in the agreement. In 2005, we entered into a death benefit agreement with our CEO. As of December 31, 2006, the liability for death benefits is $1.4 million ($0.9 million at December 31, 2005) which is included in current and noncurrent accrued and noncurrent liabilities.

 
 
Environmental and Regulatory Compliance - The Chemical Business is subject to specific federal and state regulatory and environmental compliance laws and guidelines. We have developed policies and procedures related to environmental and regulatory compliance. We must continually monitor whether we have maintained compliance with such laws and regulations and the operating implications, if any, and amount of penalties, fines and assessments that may result from noncompliance. At December 31, 2006, liabilities totaling $1.4 million have been accrued relating to a consent administrative order (“CAO”) covering El Dorado and a CAO covering our former Hallowell facility. These liabilities are included in current and noncurrent accrued and other liabilities and are based on current estimates that may be revised in the near term based on results of our investigation, risk assessment and remediation pursuant to the new CAO and Slurry Consent Order. In addition, we will be required to make capital expenditures as it relates to the NPDES permit and Air CAO.

Asset Retirement Obligations - We have a legal obligation to monitor certain discharge water outlets at our Chemical Business facilities should we discontinue the operations of a facility. We do not believe that the annual costs of the required monitoring activities would be significant and as we currently have no plans to discontinue the use of the facilities and the remaining life of either facility is indeterminable, an asset retirement liability has not been recognized. Currently, there is insufficient information to estimate the fair value of the asset retirement obligation. However, we will continue to review this obligation and record a liability when a reasonable estimate of the fair value can be made.

Deferred Income Taxes - Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes, and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Valuation allowances are provided against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. We are able to realize deferred tax assets up to an amount equal to the future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences. The taxable temporary differences will turn around in the loss carry forward period as the differences reverse. Other differences will turn around as the assets are realized or liabilities are paid in the normal course of business. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, our deferred tax assets were net of a valuation allowance of $18.9 million and $25.6 million, respectively. The decrease in the valuation allowance is due primarily to the utilization of net operating loss carry forwards in 2006.

Contingencies - We accrue for contingent losses when such losses are probable and reasonably estimable. In addition, we recognize contingent gains when such gains are realized. We are a party to various litigation and other contingencies, the ultimate outcome of which is not presently known. Should the ultimate outcome of these contingencies be adverse, such outcome could create an event of default under ThermaClime's Working Capital Revolver Loan and the Senior Secured Loan and could adversely impact our liquidity and capital resources.

Revenue Recognition - We recognize revenue for substantially all of our operations at the time title to the goods transfers to the buyer and there remains no significant future performance obligations by us. Revenue relating to construction contracts is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method based primarily on contract costs incurred to date compared with total estimated contract costs. Changes to total estimated contract costs or losses, if any, are
 
 
 
recognized in the period in which they are determined. Sales of warranty contracts are recognized as revenue ratably over the life of the contract. See discussion above under “Product Warranty” for our accounting policy for recognizing warranty expense.

Recognition of Insurance Recoveries- If an insurance claim relates to a recovery of our losses, we recognize the recovery when it is probable and reasonably estimable. If our insurance claim relates to a contingent gain, we recognize the recovery when it is realized.

Management's judgment and estimates in these areas are based on information available from internal and external resources at that time. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates and judgments, as additional information becomes known.

Climate Control Business

·  
Net sales of our geothermal and water source heat pump products increased primarily as a result of a 52% increase in the number of units sold in the commercial and residential markets due to customer demand representing an approximate 4% gain in market share based on data supplied by the ARI;
·  
Net sales of our hydronic fan coils increased primarily due to a 10% increase in overall average unit sales prices as the result of lowering discounting and higher selling prices driven by raw material cost increases;
·  
Net sales of our other HVAC products increased as the result of an increase in the number of larger custom air handlers sold primarily relating to three large projects.

Chemical Business

El Dorado and Cherokee produce all the chemical products described in the table above and Baytown produces only industrial acids products. Overall, volume of tons sold for the Chemical Business increased 12% while sales prices remained consistent with 2005.
 
·  
Volume at El Dorado increased 14% primarily related to agricultural products as the result of the loss of production during the first half of 2005 as discussed below, to industrial acid and other chemical products due to spot sales opportunities, and to mining products relating to the growth of coal mining in the mining industry;
 
 
23

 
·  
Volume at Baytown increased 24% as the result of a closing of a chemical facility within our market and other various spot sales opportunities;
·  
Volume at Cherokee decreased 6% resulting from the suspension of production during the first half of January 2006 as the result of a reduction in orders from several key customers due to the increased natural gas costs and further production curtailments throughout the first quarter of 2006.
 
Other - Net sales classified as “Other” consists of sales of industrial machinery and related components. The increase in net sales relates primarily to increased customer demand for our machine tool products.

Gross Profit

Gross profit by industry segment represents net sales less cost of sales. The following table contains certain information about our gross profit in different industry segments for 2006 and 2005:

In addition to the information presented in the above table, our Climate Control Business’ gross profit percentage (as a percentage of net sales) was 29.6% for 2006 compared to 30.7% for 2005. The gross profit percentage of our Chemical Business was 8.4% for 2006 compared to 7.0% for 2005. The gross profit percentage relating to “Other” (see discussion above) was 33.0% for 2006 compared to 34.2% for 2005.

The increase in gross profit in our Climate Control Business was a direct result of the increase in sales volume as discussed above. The decline in our gross profit percentage was primarily due to raw material costs increases being incurred ahead of customer price increases becoming effective.

The net increase in gross profit of our Chemical Business relates primarily to:

·  
Cherokee as the result of not incurring the disruptions at the plant caused by the rise in natural gas costs due to the hurricanes in the U.S. Gulf in 2005 and a decrease in electricity costs as a result of a negotiated reduction in utility rates in 2006;
·  
Baytown due primarily to the increase in sales volume as discussed above;
·  
El Dorado as the result of the increase in sales volume as discussed above.
 
 
24

 
As previously reported, beginning in October 2004 and continuing into June 2005, the Chemical Business’ results were adversely affected as a result of the loss of production due to a mechanical failure of one of the four nitric acid plants at El Dorado. The plant was restored to normal production in June 2005. We recognized insurance recoveries of $0.9 million and $1.9 million under our business interruption insurance policy relating to this claim for 2006 and 2005, respectively, which is recorded as a reduction to cost of sales. The negative impact on gross profit resulting from the lost production was approximately $4.1 million in 2005.

The increase in gross profit classified as “Other” (see discussion above) is due primarily to the increase in sales as discussed above.

Operating Income

Our chief operating decision makers use operating income by industry segment for purposes of making decisions which include resource allocations and performance evaluations. Operating income by industry segment represents gross profit by industry segment less selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) incurred by each industry segment plus other income and other expense earned/incurred by each industry segment before general corporate expenses and other business operations, net. General corporate expenses and other business operations, net consist of unallocated portions of gross profit, SG&A, other income and other expense.

Operating Income - Climate Control: The net increase in operating income of our Climate Control Business resulted primarily from the net increase of gross profit of $17.4 million as discussed above, an arbitration award of $1.2 million received in 2006 relating to the arbitration case involving Trison as discussed under “Climate Control Business” of Item 3, and a decrease in professional fees of $1.0 million primarily as the result of fees incurred during 2005 relating to this arbitration case. This increase in operating income was partially offset by increased shipping and handling costs of $3.9 million due to increased sales volume and rising fuel costs, increased commissions of $1.8 million due to increased sales volume and distribution mix and increased personnel cost of $1.6 million as the result of increased number of personnel and higher incentives, and increased warranty costs of $0.7 million due to the increased sales volume.

Operating Income - Chemical: The net increase of our Chemical Business’ operating income primarily relates to the net increase in gross profit of $5.7 million as discussed above. This increase in operating income was partially offset by an increase in handling costs of $0.8 million due primarily to increased sales volume and an increase in professional fees of $0.4 million relating to legal costs associated with ammonium nitrate anti-dumping tariffs. In addition, we recognized gains of $1.6 million from certain property insurance claims in 2005.
 
25

 
General Corporate Expense and Other Business Operations, Net: The net increase in our general corporate expense and other business operations, net relates primarily to an increase of $0.6 million in personnel costs relating to increased group health care costs of $0.4 million and commissions of $0.3 million on the increased sales classified as “Other” as discussed above, an increase in professional fees of $0.6 million due, in part, for assistance in our evaluation of our internal controls and procedures and related documentation for Sarbanes-Oxley requirements, a litigation settlement of $0.3 million relating to an asserted financing fee, and a decrease in gains of $0.7 million from the sales of corporate assets. The increase was partially offset by the increase in gross profit classified as “Other” of $1.0 million and a refund of $0.4 million relating to insurance brokerage fees.

Interest Expense - Interest expense was $11.9 million for 2006 compared to $11.4 million for 2005, an increase of $0.5 million. This net increase in interest expense includes $1.1 million relating to the Debentures sold in March 2006 and $0.3 million of additional consideration paid in conjunction with the conversion of a portion of the Debentures during 2006 which was partially offset by a decrease of $0.8 million relating to the Notes which were purchased or redeemed during 2006.

Non-Operating Other Income, net - Our non-operating other income, net was $0.6 million for 2006 compared to $1.6 million for 2005. In 2005, we recognized net proceeds from life insurance policies of $1.2 million.

Provision For Income Taxes - Due to net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards, provisions for income taxes consist of federal alternative minimum taxes and state income taxes for 2006 and federal alternative minimum taxes for 2005.

Net Loss From Discontinued Operations - Net loss from discontinued operations includes provisions of $0.2 million and $0.6 million for 2006 and 2005, respectively, for our share of estimated environmental remediation costs to investigate and delineate a site in Hallowell, Kansas as a result of meetings with the KDHE. There are no income tax benefits related to these expenses.

Climate Control Business

·  
Net sales of our geothermal and water source heat pump products increased primarily as a result of stronger customer demand, a 7% increase in overall average unit sales prices due to the increase in our raw material costs as discussed below, and change in product mix;
·  
Net sales of our hydronic fan coils increased primarily from a 6% increase in overall average unit sales prices due to the increase in our raw material costs as well as an improvement in product mix;
·  
Net sales of our other HVAC products decreased $0.3 million. For 2004, net sales of other HVAC products includes $3.8 million as a result of consolidating MultiClima’s operating results in the second quarter of 2004 as required under FIN 46. Effective July 1, 2004, we were no longer required to consolidate MultiClima’s operating results. Excluding the effect of MultiClima, sales of other HVAC products increased $3.5 million which includes an increase in sales of $1.1 million relating to our modular chiller systems, $0.9 million relating to our large custom air handlers, $0.9 million as a result of an increase in construction projects and $0.7 million relating to a new product line with increasing demand.


27

 
Chemical Business

As discussed above, El Dorado and Cherokee produce all the chemical products described in the table above and Baytown produces only industrial acids products. Overall sales prices for the Chemical Business increased 13% but overall volume of tons sold decreased 5%.

·  
The overall increase in sales prices reflects, in part, higher sales prices resulting from the increased cost of the raw material feedstocks (anhydrous ammonia and natural gas) as discussed below;
·  
The volume at Baytown was down 14% due to lower demand for nitric acid by Bayer resulting from the shutdown of one of North America’s consuming locations;
·  
The volume at Cherokee decreased 4% due primarily to the suspension of production resulting from the hurricanes in the U.S. Gulf as discussed above under “Overview-Chemical Business.”

Other - Net sales classified as “Other” consists of sales of industrial machinery and related components.

In addition to the information presented in the above table, our Climate Control Business’ gross profit percentage (as a percentage of net sales) was 30.7% for 2005 compared to 30.3% for 2004. The gross profit percentage of our Chemical Business was 7.0% for 2005 compared to 3.6% for 2004. The gross profit percentage relating to “Other” (see discussion above) was 34.2% for 2005 compared to 32.0% for 2004.

The net increase in gross profit of our Climate Control Business resulted primarily by the increase in sales of our geothermal and water source heat pumps and hydronic fan coils as discussed above. This increase in gross profit was partially offset by a change in product/customer mix and our inability to fully pass on to our customers in the form of product price increases the increase in the raw material cost of copper. The spot market increases through the twelve months of 2005 for copper were approximately 40%. In addition, a decrease of $0.8 million relates to MultiClima in the second quarter of 2004 as discussed above.
 
28

 
The net increase in gross profit of our Chemical Business is due primarily to improved margins on certain agricultural and industrial acid products and cost recoveries during 2005 of $2.1 million of production catalyst (precious metals) used in our manufacturing processes compared to $0.2 million during 2004. In addition, costs relating to Turnarounds decreased approximately $1.0 million in 2005 compared to 2004 primarily as the result of our sulfuric acid plant and one of our nitric acid plants not requiring Turnarounds during 2005 but were performed during 2004. The increase in gross profit was offset, in part, by our inability to fully pass on to our customers the 25% increase in costs of anhydrous ammonia during the spring and fall planting seasons incurred by El Dorado, the 34% increase in costs of natural gas sustained by Cherokee and the suspension of production at Cherokee resulting from the hurricanes in the U.S. Gulf as discussed above under “Overview-Chemical Business”. Cherokee also incurred an increase of $2.2 million of electricity costs primarily as the result of increased rates charged by their utility company. In addition in 2004, net settlements of $1.5 million (which increased gross profit) were reached with insurance carriers relating to a vendor’s faulty repair work to a chemical plant boiler. 

As discussed above and previously reported, the Chemical Business’ results were adversely affected as a result of the loss of production due to a mechanical failure of one of the four nitric acid plants at El Dorado. We recognized insurance recoveries of $1.9 million under our business interruption insurance policy relating to this claim for 2005 which is recorded as a reduction to cost of sales. The negative impact on gross profit resulting from the lost production was approximately $4.1 million in 2005 and approximately $1.0 million in 2004.

See discussion above for products sold which are classified as “Other”.

Operating Income - Climate Control: The net increase in our Climate Control Business’ operating income resulted primarily by selling, general and administrative expenses of $1.4 million relating to MultiClima which were only incurred in the second quarter of 2004 and the net increase in gross profit of $5.4 million as discussed above. This increase in operating income was partially offset by increased shipping and handling costs of $1.0 million as a result of increased sales volume and rising fuel costs, increased professional fees of $0.9 million primarily relating to litigation and related arbitrations between Trison and a customer (as discussed under “Climate Control Business” of Item 3), increased commissions of $0.8 million due to increased
 
29

 
sales volume, increased personnel costs of $0.6 million due primarily to increased group health insurance costs and increased provision for losses on accounts receivable of $0.5 million due primarily to lower than usual incidence in 2004 and the increased sales volumes in 2005.

Operating Income (Loss) - Chemical: The net increase in our Chemical Business’ operating income included the net increase in gross profit of $8.6 million as discussed above and gains of $1.6 million from replacement cost property insurance recoveries which includes $1.5 million of recoveries discussed under “Business Interruption and Property Insurance Claims” of Item 3 and a decrease in personnel costs of $0.3 million as a result of a reduction in personnel at El Dorado. This increase was partially offset by an increase in handling costs of $1.0 million due primarily to higher railcar lease and maintenance costs as the result of increasing the number of railcars used to support our agricultural business.

General Corporate Expense and Other Business Operations, Net: The decrease in our general corporate expense and other business operations, net relates primarily to an increase in gains of $0.7 million from the sales of corporate assets, a decrease in professional fees of $0.3 million which includes costs incurred during 2004 relating to a proposed unregistered offering of Senior Secured Notes which was terminated, a decrease of $0.3 million of provisions for impairments on corporate assets and a decrease of approximately $0.6 million due to other individually immaterial items. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in personnel costs of $1.1 million which includes the recognition of death benefit obligations, an increase in group health insurance costs and net premium costs associated with key individual life insurance policies including policies associated with a death benefit agreement entered into with our CEO during the second quarter of 2005.

Interest Expense - Interest expense was $11.4 million for 2005 compared to $7.4 million for 2004. The increase of $4.0 million relates primarily to interest expense incurred on the $50.0 million term loan that was completed in September 2004 as discussed under “Loan Agreements - Terms and Conditions.” A portion of the proceeds of the Senior Secured Loan was used to repay the outstanding balance under a former financing agreement (“Financing Agreement”). There was no interest expense recognition on the Financing Agreement indebtedness from May 2002 through September 2004 since that transaction was accounted for as a voluntary debt restructuring in 2002. This increase was partially offset due to the repurchase of $5.0 million of the Senior Unsecured Notes in September 2004.

Provision for Loss on Notes Receivable - Based on our assessment of the liquidity and results of operations of MultiClima and its parent company, we concluded that the outstanding notes receivable were not recoverable. As a result, effective July 1, 2004, we forgave and cancelled the loan agreements in exchange for extending the Option’s expiration date from June 15, 2005 to June 15, 2008 with an estimated value of zero. We recognized a provision for loss of $1.4 million for 2004.

Gain on Extinguishment of Debt - As a result of the repayment in September 2004 of the Financing Agreement prior to the maturity date of June 30, 2005, we recognized the remaining unearned interest of $4.4 million as a gain on extinguishment of debt.

30


Non-Operating Other Income, net - Our non-operating other income, net was $1.6 million for 2005 compared to $2.4 million for 2004, a decrease of $0.8 million. In 2005, we received net proceeds from life insurance policies of $1.2 million. In addition, we recognized gains of $0.2 million from the sales of certain current assets (primarily precious metals) in 2005 compared to gains of $2.3 million in 2004.

Loss from Discontinued Operations - Net loss from discontinued operations in 2005 consists of provisions of $0.6 million for our share of estimated environmental remediation costs to investigate and delineate a site in Hallowell, Kansas as a result of meetings held during 2005 with the KDHE. There are no income tax benefits related to these expenses.

Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change - Effective March 31, 2004, we included in our condensed consolidated balance sheet the consolidated assets and liabilities of the parent company of MultiClima as required under FIN 46. As a result, we recorded a cumulative effect of accounting change of $0.5 million primarily relating to the elimination of embedded profit included in the cost of inventory which was purchased from MultiClima by certain of our subsidiaries. Effective July 1, 2004, we no longer had a variable interest in this entity and were no longer required to consolidate this entity.

Cash Flow From Operating Activities

Historically, our primary cash needs have been for operating expenses, working capital and capital expenditures. We have financed our cash requirements primarily through internally generated cash flow, borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, secured asset financing and the sale of assets. See additional discussion concerning cash flows from our Climate Control and Chemical Businesses in "Liquidity and Capital Resources."

For 2006, net cash provided by continuing operating activities was $17.7 million, including net income (which includes insurance recoveries of $0.9 million under our business interruption insurance policy), plus depreciation and amortization and other adjustments offset by cash used by changes in assets and liabilities.

Accounts receivable increased $18.1 million relating primarily to the Climate Control Business as the result of increased sales of our heat pump products, large custom air handlers, and hydronic fan coils as discussed above under “Results of Operations.”

Inventories increased a net $7.3 million including:

·  
an increase of $10.4 million relating to the Climate Control Business primarily relating to the increased cost of certain raw materials and the increased quantities of raw materials on hand due to increasing sales volume, partially offset by
·  
a decrease of $3.2 million relating to the Chemical Business as the results of the decline in the average cost of anhydrous ammonia and natural gas in December 2006 compared to December 2005 and reduced inventory on hand at Cherokee due to a Turnaround performed in December 2006.
 
 
31

 
Other supplies and prepaid items increased $1.9 million primarily due to a net increase of $1.4 million in precious metals as a result of the increased cost of precious metals and recoveries performed and additional precious metals purchased net of the amount consumed in the manufacturing process in the Chemical Business.

Accounts payable increased $11.2 million primarily due to:

·  
an increase of $5.4 million in our Climate Control Business resulting from increased production of our heat pump products, large custom air handlers, and hydronic fan coils, increased cost of certain raw materials, and increased levels of raw materials on hand and
·  
an increase of $5.1 million in our Chemical Business resulting primarily from Baytown’s property taxes and scheduled lease payments, costs incurred by Cherokee relating to a Turnaround performed in December 2006, and increased sales volume at Baytown in December 2006 compared to December 2005.

Customer deposits increased $1.0 million primarily due to the increase in deposits received on sales commitments by Cherokee and as down payments on two customer orders of large air handlers in the Climate Control Business.

The increase in other current and noncurrent liabilities of $3.9 million includes primarily:

·  
an increase of $1.2 million of accrued commissions primarily as the result of increased sales volume in the Climate Control Business,
·  
an increase of $1.0 million of deferred revenue on extended warranty contracts as the result of increased sales volume in the Climate Control Business,
·  
an increase in accrued contractual manufacturing obligations of $1.0 million pursuant to EDC’s supply agreement and EDNC’s Bayer Agreement in the Chemical Business,
·  
an increase of $0.7 million in accrued payroll and benefits due primarily to an increase in the number of employees and to salary and wage incentives in the Climate Control Business,
·  
an increase of $0.6 million of accrued death benefits relating to our benefit agreements with certain key executives partially offset by,
·  
a decrease of $1.1 million of accrued property and franchise taxes primarily due to Baytown’s property taxes being processed and included in accounts payable at December 31, 2006 as discussed above.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

Net cash used by continuing investing activities was $18.4 million for 2006 which included $14.7 million for capital expenditures of which $7.7 million and $7.0 million are for the benefit of our Climate Control Business and Chemical Business, respectively. In addition, we made deposits of $3.5 million of current and noncurrent restricted cash which is to be used for capital expenditures in the Climate Control Business, working capital, and to fund an unrealized loss on exchange-traded contracts.

32

 
Cash Flow from Financing Activities

Net cash used by continuing financing activities was $1.4 million and primarily consisted of:

·  
the acquisition of $13.3 million of the Notes as discussed above under “Loan Agreements - Terms and Conditions”,
·  
payments of $6.9 million on other long-term debt, and
·  
payments of $6.1 million on revolving debt facilities, net of proceeds, offset, in part, by
·  
proceeds of $16.5 million from the Debentures, net of fees of $1.5 million, as discussed above under “Loan Agreements - Terms and Conditions” and
·  
net proceeds of $8.2 million from other long-term debt.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except for the following:

Cepolk Holding, Inc. (“CHI”), a subsidiary of the Company, is a limited partner and has a 50% equity interest in Cepolk Limited Partnership (“Partnership”) which is accounted for on the equity method. The Partnership owns an energy savings project located at the Ft. Polk Army base in Louisiana (“Project”). At December 31, 2006, our investment was $3.3 million. For 2006, distributions received from this Partnership were $0.9 million and our equity in earnings was $0.8 million. As of December 31, 2006, the Partnership and general partner to the Partnership is indebted to a term lender (“Lender”) of the Project, in the amount of approximately $5.3 million, net of restricted cash for debt service of $0.9 million, with a term extending to December 2010 (“Loan”). CHI has pledged its limited partnership interest in the Partnership to the Lender as part of the Lender’s collateral securing all obligations under the Loan. This guarantee and pledge is limited to CHI’s limited partnership interest and does not expose CHI or the Company to liability in excess of CHI’s limited partnership interest. No liability has been established for this pledge since it was entered into prior to adoption of FIN 45. CHI has no recourse provisions or available collateral that would enable CHI to recover its partnership interest should the Lender be required to perform under this pledge.

)
We primarily utilize a cash management system with a series of separate accounts consisting of several “zero-balance” disbursement accounts for funding of payroll and accounts payable. As a result of our cash management system, checks issued, but not presented to the banks for payment, may create negative book cash balances. These negative book cash balances are included in current portion of long-term debt since these accounts are primarily funded by our Working Capital Revolver Loan.
(2
)
The estimated interest payments relating to variable interest rate debt are based on the effective interest rates at December 31, 2006. In addition, we used the balance of the Working Capital Revolver Loan at December 31, 2006 as the average outstanding balance of the Working Capital Revolver Loan through maturity.
     
(3
)
Capital expenditures include only non-discretionary amounts in our 2007 capital expenditure budget. These amounts do not include, as discussed in “Environmental Matters” under Item 1, an estimated range from $0.8 million to $2.8 million as required under a NPDES permit effective June 2007 based on current assumptions and an estimated $2.5 million to $4.0 million over the next four years relating to the Air CAO.

Report of Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm


The Board of Directors and Stockholders of LSB Industries, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of LSB Industries, Inc. as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2). These financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audits also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of LSB Industries, Inc. at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006 have been adjusted to appropriately reflect the change in the Company’s method of accounting for planned major maintenance activities and Schedules I and II as listed in the Index at Item 15(a)(2) have been amended to be consistent with the adjusted amounts.

LSB Industries, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of LSB Industries, Inc. (the "Company", "We", "Us", or "Our") and its subsidiaries. We are a manufacturing, marketing and engineering company which is primarily engaged, through our wholly-owned subsidiary ThermaClime, Inc. (“ThermaClime”) and its subsidiaries, in the manufacture and sale of geothermal and water source heat pumps and air handling products (the "Climate Control Business") and the manufacture and sale of chemical products (the "Chemical Business"). The Company and ThermaClime are holding companies with no significant assets or operations other than our investments in our subsidiaries. Entities that are 20% to 50% owned and for which we have significant influence are accounted for on the equity method. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Based on internal reviews of our accounting policies and financial presentation, we have made classification changes relating to outstanding checks in excess of our zero-balance cash disbursement accounts, extended warranty contracts, and warranty expense. At December 31, 2005, we had outstanding checks in excess of our zero-balance cash disbursement accounts of $3,740,000 included in long-term debt since these accounts are primarily funded by our Working Capital Revolver Loan due 2009. In addition, we had deferred revenue relating to sales of extended warranty contracts of $1,441,000 included in accrued warranty costs of $2,302,000 at December 31, 2005. In 2006, we have reclassified the 2005 balance relating to the outstanding checks in excess of our zero-balance cash disbursement accounts as current portion of long-term debt and have reclassified the 2005 balance relating to deferred revenue as deferred revenue on extended warranty contracts. These reclassifications increased current portion of long-term debt and decreased long-term debt by $3,740,000 in our 2005 consolidated balance sheet (the deferred revenue reclassification did not affect our balance for current or noncurrent liabilities).

In addition, for 2005 and 2004, revenue recognized relating to extended warranty contracts of $393,000 and $376,000, respectively, was classified as reductions of selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”) and warranty costs of $414,000 and $296,000, respectively, were classified as cost of sales by one of our subsidiaries. In 2006, we have reclassified revenue recognized relating to extended warranty contacts as net sales and warranty costs as SG&A. The effect of these classification changes on our consolidated statement of income for 2005 and 2004 was an increase in net sales, a decrease in cost of sales, an increase in gross profit, and an increase in SG&A. The net result did not affect operating or net income. These classification changes did not affect our consolidated statements of cash flows for 2005 and 2004.

2. Change in Accounting for Plant Turnaround Costs

As previously disclosed in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, during September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) completed a project adopting a new accounting principle as to the methods of accounting for planned major maintenance activities (“Turnarounds”). Under the new accounting principle for Turnarounds, FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. AUG AIR-1 (“FSP”), which eliminated the accrue-in-advance method of accounting for Turnarounds which was the method we were using. Under the

2. Change in Accounting for Plant Turnaround Costs (continued)
 
new FSP, there were three acceptable accounting methods for Turnarounds that we could adopt. Effective January 1, 2007, we have adopted the direct expensing method which requires us to expense Turnaround costs as they are incurred. The adoption of the FSP accounting for Turnarounds is considered a change in accounting principle adopted by the FASB with retroactive application as described in SFAS 154 - Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. These amended consolidated financial statements reflect the new Turnaround accounting method for the three years ended December 31, 2006, with accompanying notes and quarterly financial data.

The following consolidated financial statement line items and income (loss) per common share were affected by the change in accounting for plant turnaround costs:

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates - The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - Short-term investments, which consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, are considered cash equivalents. We primarily utilize a cash management system with a series of separate accounts consisting of several “zero-balance” disbursement accounts for funding of payroll and accounts payable. As a result of our cash management system, checks issued, but not presented to the banks for payment, may create negative book cash balances. These negative book cash balances are included in current portion of long-term debt since these accounts are funded primarily by our Working Capital Revolver Loan. Outstanding checks in excess of related book cash balances were $5,849,000 and $3,740,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Current and Noncurrent Restricted Cash- At December 31, 2006, we had restricted cash totaling $3,681,000 of which $1,202,000 is classified as noncurrent since it is to be used for capital expenditures in the Climate Control Business. A portion of the current restricted cash was released in January 2007 and used for working capital while the remaining balance is to fund an unrealized loss on exchange-traded futures contracts.

Accounts Receivable and Credit Risk - Sales to contractors and independent sales representatives are generally subject to a mechanic’s lien in the Climate Control Business. Other sales are generally unsecured. Credit is extended to customers based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition and other factors. Credit losses are provided for in the consolidated financial statements based on historical experience and periodic assessment of outstanding accounts receivable, particularly those accounts which are past due (determined based upon how recently payments have been received). Our periodic assessment of accounts and credit loss provisions are based on our best estimate of amounts that are not recoverable.

Inventories - Inventories are priced at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined using the first-in, first-out basis. Finished goods and work-in-process inventories include material, labor, and manufacturing overhead costs. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, we had inventory reserves for certain slow-moving inventory items (primarily Climate Control products) and inventory reserves for certain nitrogen-based inventories provided by our Chemical Business because cost exceeded the net realizable value.

Precious Metals - Precious metals are used as a catalyst in the Chemical Business manufacturing process. Precious metals are carried at cost, with cost being determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis.  Because some of the catalyst consumed in the production process cannot be readily recovered and the amount and timing of recoveries are not predictable, we follow the practice of expensing precious metals as they are consumed. Occasionally, during major maintenance or capital projects, we may be able to perform procedures to recover precious metals (previously expensed) which have accumulated over time within the manufacturing equipment. 

Property, Plant and Equipment - Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is primarily computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leases meeting capital lease criteria have been capitalized and included in property, plant and equipment. Amortization of assets under capital leases is included in depreciation expense. No provision for depreciation is made on construction in progress or capital spare parts until such time as the relevant assets are put into service. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are charged to operations while major renewals and improvements are capitalized in property, plant and equipment.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If assets to be held and used are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair values of the assets as

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

measured by the present value of future net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets or their appraised value. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amounts of the assets or fair values less costs to sell. At December 31, 2006, we had no long-lived assets that met the criteria presented in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 144 to be classified as assets held for sale.

We have obtained estimates from external sources and made internal estimates based on inquiry and other techniques of the fair values of certain capital spare parts and idle assets in our Chemical Business and certain non-core equipment included in our Corporate assets in order to determine recoverability of the carrying amounts of such assets.

Debt Issuance and Other Debt-Related Costs - Debt issuance and other debt-related costs are amortized over the term of the associated debt instrument except for the cost of interest caps. Interest rate cap contracts that are free-standing derivatives are accounted for on a mark-to-market basis in accordance with SFAS 133.

Goodwill - Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually in accordance with SFAS 142. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, goodwill was $1,724,000 of which $103,000 and $1,621,000 relates to business acquisitions in prior periods in the Climate Control and Chemical Businesses, respectively.

Accrued Insurance Liabilities - We are self-insured up to certain limits for group health, workers’ compensation and general liability claims. Above these limits, we have insurance coverage, which management considers to be adequate. Our accrued insurance liabilities are based on estimates of the self-insured portions of the claims, which include the incurred claims amounts plus estimates of future claims development calculated by applying our historical claims development factors to our incurred claims amounts. We also consider the reserves established by our insurance adjustors and/or estimates provided by attorneys handling the claims, if any. In addition, our accrued insurance liabilities include estimates of incurred, but not reported, claims and other insurance-related costs. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, our claims liabilities were $1,646,000 and $1,426,000, respectively, which are included in accrued and other liabilities. It is possible that the actual development of claims could exceed our estimates.

Product Warranty - Our Climate Control Business sells equipment that has an expected life, under normal circumstances and use that extends over several years. As such, we provide warranties after equipment shipment/start-up covering defects in materials and workmanship.

Generally, the base warranty coverage for most of the manufactured equipment in the Climate Control Business is limited to eighteen months from the date of shipment or twelve months from the date of start-up, whichever is shorter, and to ninety days for spare parts. The warranty provides that most equipment is required to be returned to the factory or an authorized representative and the warranty is limited to the repair and replacement of the defective product, with a maximum warranty of the refund of the purchase price. Furthermore, companies within

the Climate Control Business generally disclaim and exclude warranties related to merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose and disclaim and exclude any liability for consequential or incidental damages. In some cases, the customer may purchase or a specific product may be sold with an extended warranty. The above discussion is generally applicable to such extended warranties, but variations do occur depending upon specific contractual obligations, to certain system components, and local laws.

Our accounting policy and methodology for warranty arrangements is to periodically measure and recognize the expense and liability for such warranty obligations using a percentage of net sales, based upon our historical warranty costs. It is possible that future warranty costs could exceed our estimates.

Changes in our product warranty obligation are as follows:

Plant Turnaround Costs - As discussed in Note 2 - Change in Accounting for Plant Turnaround Costs, we expense the costs as they are incurred relating to planned major  maintenance activities (“Turnarounds”) of our Chemical Business as described as the direct expensing method within Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Staff Position No. AUG AIR-1.

Executive Benefit Agreements - We have entered into benefit agreements with certain key executives. Costs associated with these individual benefit agreements are accrued when they become probable over the estimated remaining service period. Total costs accrued equal the present value of specified payments to be made after benefits become payable.
 
Deferred Income Taxes - Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes, and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Valuation allowances are provided against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. We are able to realize deferred tax assets up to an amount equal to the future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences. The taxable temporary differences will turn around in the loss carry forward period as the differences reverse. Other differences will turn around as the assets are realized or liabilities are paid in the normal course of business. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, our deferred tax assets were net of a valuation allowance of $18.9 million and $25.6 million, respectively.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Contingencies - We accrue for contingent losses when such losses are probable and reasonably estimable. In addition, we recognize contingent gains when such gains are realized. Our Chemical Business is subject to specific federal and state regulatory and environmental compliance laws and guidelines. We have developed policies and procedures related to environmental and regulatory compliance. We must continually monitor whether we have maintained compliance with such laws and regulations and the operating implications, if any, and amount of penalties, fines and assessments that may result from noncompliance. Loss contingency liabilities are included in current and noncurrent accrued and other liabilities and are based on current estimates that may be revised in the near term.

Asset Retirement Obligations - We have a legal obligation to monitor certain discharge water outlets at our Chemical Business facilities should we discontinue the operations of a facility. We do not believe that the annual costs of the required monitoring activities would be significant and as we currently have no plans to discontinue the use of the facilities and the remaining life of either facility is indeterminable, an asset retirement liability has not been recognized. Currently, there is insufficient information to estimate the fair value of the asset retirement obligation. However, we will continue to review this obligation and record a liability when a reasonable estimate of the fair value can be made in accordance of FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) 47.

Stock Options - Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123(R)”) using the modified prospective method. Since all outstanding stock options were fully vested at December 31, 2005, the adoption of SFAS 123(R) did not impact our consolidated financial statements. During 2005 and 2004, we accounted for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Under APB 25, stock-based compensation cost was not usually reflected in our results of operations, as the majority of all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. We issue new shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options. See “Non-Qualified Stock Option Plans” within Note 15 - Stockholders’ Equity for discussion of non-qualified stock options granted in 2006 but are subject to shareholders’ approval.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) applicable to common stock and net income (loss) per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R) to stock-based compensation during 2005 and 2004. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for 2005 (there were no stock options granted in 2004): risk-free interest rates of 4.64%; a dividend yield of 0; volatility factors of the expected market price of our common stock of .75; and a weighted average expected life of the options of 7.36 years.

For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the qualified and non-qualified stock options was amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. Since our Board of Directors in 2005 approved the acceleration of the vesting schedule of both qualified and non-

Revenue Recognition - We recognize revenue for substantially all of our operations at the time title to the goods transfers to the buyer and there remain no significant future performance obligations by us. Revenue relating to construction contracts is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method based primarily on contract costs incurred to date compared with total estimated contract costs. Changes to total estimated contract costs or losses, if any, are recognized in the period in which they are determined. Sales of warranty contracts are recognized as revenue ratably over the life of the contract. See discussion above under “Product Warranty” for our accounting policy for recognizing warranty expense.

Recognition of Insurance Recoveries - If an insurance claim relates to a recovery of our losses, we recognize the recovery when it is probable and reasonably estimable. If our insurance claim relates to a contingent gain, we recognize the recovery when it is realized.

Cost of Sales - Cost of sales includes materials, labor and overhead costs to manufacture the products sold plus inbound freight, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, internal transfer costs and warehousing costs (excluding certain handling costs directly related to loading product being shipped to customers in our Chemical Business which are included in SG&A). In addition, recoveries from precious metals (Chemical Business), sales of material scrap (Climate Control Business), and business interruption insurance claims are reductions to cost of sales.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense - Selling, general and administrative expense includes costs associated with the sales, marketing and administrative functions. Such costs include personnel costs, including benefits, advertising costs, commission expenses, warranty costs, office and occupancy costs associated with the sales, marketing and administrative

functions. Selling, general and administrative expense also includes outbound freight in our Climate Control Business and certain handling costs directly related to product being shipped to customers in our Chemical Business. These handling costs primarily consist of personnel costs for loading product into transportation equipment, rent and maintenance costs related to the transportation equipment, and certain indirect costs.

Shipping and Handling Costs - For the Chemical Business in 2006, 2005 and 2004, shipping costs of $17,448,000, $10,564,000 and $8,567,000, respectively, are included in net sales as these costs relate to amounts billed to our customers. In addition, in 2006, 2005, and 2004, handling costs of $4,950,000, $4,177,000 and $3,208,000, respectively, are included in selling, general and administrative expense as discussed above under “Selling, General and Administrative Expense.” For the Climate Control Business, shipping and handling costs of $10,326,000, $6,396,000 and $5,416,000 are included in selling, general and administrative expense for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Advertising Costs - Costs in connection with advertising and promotion of our products are expensed as incurred. Such costs amounted to $1,233,000 in 2006, $1,402,000 in 2005 and $1,023,000 in 2004.

Derivatives, Hedges and Financial Instruments - We account for derivatives in accordance with SFAS 133, which requires the recognition of derivatives in the balance sheet and the measurement of these instruments at fair value. Changes in fair value of derivatives are recorded in results of operations unless the normal purchase or sale exceptions apply or hedge accounting is elected.

In 1997, we entered into an interest rate forward agreement to effectively fix the interest rate of a long-term lease commitment (not for trading purposes). In 1999, we executed a long-term lease agreement (initial lease term of ten years) and terminated the forward agreement at a net cost of $2.8 million. We historically accounted for this cash flow hedge under the deferral method (as an adjustment of the initial term lease rentals). Upon adoption of SFAS 133 in 2001, the remaining deferred cost amount was reclassified from other assets to accumulated other comprehensive loss and is being amortized to operations over the term of the lease arrangement. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, accumulated other comprehensive loss consisted of the remaining deferred cost of $701,000 and $990,000, respectively. The amounts amortized were $289,000, $290,000 and $290,000 for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expense. There were no income tax benefits related to these expenses. For 2007, we currently expect approximately $290,000 to be amortized to operations.

In March 2005, we purchased two interest rate cap contracts for a cost of $590,000. These contracts are free-standing derivatives and are accounted for on a mark-to-market basis in accordance with SFAS 133. At December 31, 2006, and 2005, the market values of these contracts were $385,000 and $429,000, respectively, and are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The changes in the value of these contracts are

included in interest expense. For 2005, cash used to purchase these interest rate cap contracts are included in cash used by continuing investing activities in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows.

Raw materials for use in our manufacturing processes include copper used by our Climate Control Business and natural gas used by our Chemical Business. As part of our raw material price risk management, we periodically enter into exchange-traded futures contracts for these materials, which contracts are generally accounted for on a mark-to-market basis in accordance with SFAS 133. At December 31, 2006, the unrealized loss on the futures contracts was $408,000 and is included in accrued and other liabilities and at December 31, 2005, the unrealized gain was $367,000 and is included in supplies, prepaid items and other in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The unrealized gains and losses are classified as current assets and liabilities, respectively, as the term of these contracts are for periods of twelve months or less. For 2006, we incurred losses of $1,516,000 on such contracts. For 2005 and 2004, we recognized gains of $931,000 and $189,000, respectively. These losses and gains are included in cost of sales. In addition, the cash flows relating to these contracts are included in cash flows from continuing operating activities.

Income (Loss) per Common Share - Net income (loss) applicable to common stock is computed by adjusting net income (loss) by the amount of preferred stock dividends requirements. Basic income (loss) per common share is based upon net income (loss) applicable to common stock and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year. Diluted income (loss) per share, if applicable, is based on net income (loss) applicable to common stock plus preferred stock dividend requirements on preferred stock assumed to be converted, if dilutive, and interest expense including amortization of debt issuance cost, net of income taxes, on convertible debt assumed to be converted, if dilutive, and the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding, and the assumed conversion of dilutive convertible securities outstanding.

During 2006, $14 million of the 7% Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2011 (the “Debentures”) was converted into our common stock. In addition, 104,548 shares of our Series 2 $3.25 convertible, exchangeable Class C preferred stock (“Series 2 Preferred”) was exchanged for 773,655 shares of our common stock. Also partial cash dividends were paid on certain preferred stock.

Variable Interest Entities - Prior to 2003, we, through our subsidiaries, entered into loan agreements where we loaned funds to the parent company of MultiClima, S.A. ("MultiClima") a French manufacturer of HVAC equipment, whose product line was compatible with our Climate Control Business. Under the loan agreements, one of our subsidiaries obtained the option (“Option”) to exchange its rights under the loan agreements for 100% of the borrower's outstanding common stock. This subsidiary also obtained a security interest in the stock of MultiClima to secure its loans. Based on our assessment of the parent company and MultiClima in relation to FIN 46, we were required to consolidate this entity effective March 31, 2004. Prior to consolidating this entity, the outstanding notes receivable balance, net of reserve, was $2,558,000.

As a result of consolidating the consolidated assets and liabilities of the parent company of MultiClima at March 31, 2004, we recorded a cumulative effect of accounting change of $536,000 which is included in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. The cumulative effect of the accounting change primarily relates to the elimination of embedded profit included in the cost of inventory which was purchased from MultiClima by certain of our subsidiaries.

For the three months ended June 30, 2004, the parent company of MultiClima had a consolidated net loss of $575,000 (after all material intercompany transactions were eliminated). Based on our assessment of the parent company and MultiClima’s historical and forecasted liquidity and results of operations during 2004, we concluded that the outstanding notes receivable were not collectable. As a result, effective July 1, 2004, we forgave and cancelled the loan agreements in exchange for extending the Option’s expiration date from June 15, 2005 to June 15, 2008. We recognized a provision for loss of $1,447,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. As a result of the cancellation and the estimation of the value of this Option at zero, we no longer had a variable interest in this entity and were no longer required to consolidate this entity.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - See Note 2 - Change in Accounting for Plant Turnaround costs relating to FASB Staff Position No. AUG AIR-1 which eliminates the accrue-in-advance method of accounting for Turnarounds.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 - Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 requires that realization of an uncertain income tax position must be “more likely than not” (i.e. greater than 50% likelihood) the position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities before it can be recognized in the financial statements. Further, FIN 48 prescribes the amount to be recorded in the financial statements as the amount most likely to be realized assuming a review by tax authorities having all relevant information and applying current conventions. FIN 48 also clarifies the financial statement classification of tax-related penalties and interest and sets forth new disclosures regarding unrecognized tax benefits. FIN 48 became effective in the first quarter of 2007 for the Company. We have performed a preliminary analysis of our income tax position and do not expect a significant impact to our financial statements as a result of adopting FIN 48.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157 - Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 is definitional and disclosure oriented and addresses how companies should approach measuring fair value when required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP); it does not create or modify any current GAAP requirements to apply fair value accounting. SFAS 157 provides a single definition for fair value that is to be applied consistently for all accounting applications, and also generally describes and prioritizes according to reliability the methods and input used in valuations. SFAS 157 prescribes various disclosures about financial statement categories and amounts which are measured at fair value, if such disclosures are not already specified elsewhere in GAAP. The new measurement and disclosure and requirements of SFAS 157 are effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2008 and we currently do not expect a significant impact from adopting SFAS 157.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159 - The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS 159”). This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact SFAS 159 may have on its financial statements.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 108 - Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in the Current Year Financial Statements (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of prior-year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in the current year financial statements. SAB 108 requires registrants to quantify misstatements using both an income statement and balance sheet approach and then evaluate whether either approach results in a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material. If prior year errors that had been previously considered immaterial now are considered material based on either approach, no restatement is required so long as management properly applied its previous approach and all relevant facts and circumstances were considered. If prior year’s financial statements are not restated, the cumulative effect adjustment is recorded in opening accumulated deficit as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of SAB 108 during the fourth quarter of 2006 did not impact our financial statements.

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the large number of customers comprising our customer bases and their dispersion across many different industries and geographic areas, however, ten customers account for approximately 30% of our total net receivables at December 31, 2006. We do not believe this concentration in these ten customers represents a significant credit risk due to the financial stability of these customers.

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, inventory reserves for certain slow-moving inventory items (primarily Climate Control products) were $829,000 and $1,028,000, respectively. In addition, inventory reserves for certain nitrogen-based inventories provided by our Chemical Business were $426,000 and $1,395,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, because cost exceeded the net realizable value.

6. Precious Metals

Precious metals are used as a catalyst in the Chemical Business manufacturing process. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, precious metals were $6,406,000 and $4,987,000, respectively, and are included in supplies, prepaid items and other in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For 2006, 2005 and 2004, the amounts expensed for precious metals were approximately $5,133,000, $3,535,000 and $3,332,000, respectively. These precious metals expenses are included in cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. During major maintenance and/or capital projects, we were able to perform procedures to recover precious metals (previously expensed) which had accumulated over time within our manufacturing equipment. For 2006, 2005 and 2004, we recognized recoveries of precious metals at historical FIFO costs of approximately $2,392,000, $2,050,000 and $189,000, respectively. These recoveries are reductions to cost of sales.

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, assets under capital leases consist of $961,000 and $1,593,000 of machinery, equipment and automotive, respectively, and $95,000 of furniture, fixtures and store equipment. Accumulated depreciation for assets under capital leases were $118,000 and $326,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

8. Debt Issuance and Other Debt-Related Costs, net

Debt issuance and other debt-related costs, which are primarily included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, were $2,221,000 and $2,583,000, net of accumulated amortization of $3,681,000 and $2,991,000 as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

In 2006, we incurred debt issuance costs of $1,480,000 relating to the Debentures. During 2006, a portion of the Debentures were converted into our common stock. As a result of the conversions, approximately $998,000 of the debt issuance costs, net of amortization, associated with the Debentures was charged against capital in excess of par value.

See discussion in “Derivatives, Hedges and Financial Instruments” of Note 3 concerning our interest rate cap contracts.

9. Investment in Affiliate

Cepolk Holding, Inc.

and $3,368,000, respectively. For 2006, 2005 and 2004, distributions received from this affiliate were $875,000, $488,000 and $250,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, the Partnership and general partner to the Partnership is indebted to a term lender (“Lender”) of the Project. CHI has pledged its limited partnership interest in the Partnership to the Lender as part of the Lender’s collateral securing all obligations under the loan. This guarantee and pledge is limited to CHI’s limited partnership interest and does not expose CHI or the Company to liability in excess of CHI’s limited partnership interest. No liability has been established for this pledge since it was entered into prior to adoption of FIN 45. CHI has no recourse provisions or available collateral that would enable CHI to recover its partnership interest should the Lender be required to perform under this pledge.

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, we had 683 shares and 871 shares, respectively, outstanding of noncumulative redeemable preferred stock. Each share of redeemable preferred stock, $100 par value, is convertible into 40 shares of our common stock at the option of the holder at any time and entitles the holder to one vote. The redeemable preferred stock is redeemable at par at the option of the holder or the Company. The redeemable preferred stock provides for a noncumulative annual dividend of 10%, payable when and as declared. During each quarter in 2006, our board of directors declared nominal dividends of $.31 per share on the then

(A)In September 2004, ThermaClime and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Borrowers”) completed a $50 million term loan (“Senior Secured Loan”) with a certain lender (the “Lender”). The Senior Secured Loan is to be repaid as follows:

·  
quarterly interest payments which began September 30, 2004;
·  
quarterly principal payments of $312,500 beginning September 30, 2007;
·  
a final payment of the remaining outstanding principal of $47.5 million and accrued interest on September 16, 2009.

The Senior Secured Loan accrues interest at the applicable LIBOR rate, as defined, plus an applicable LIBOR margin, as defined or, at the election of the Borrowers, the alternative base rate, as defined, plus an applicable base rate margin, as defined, with the annual interest rate not to exceed 11% or 11.5% depending on the leverage ratio. At December 31, 2006 the effective interest rate was 11%.

The Borrowers are subject to numerous covenants under the Senior Secured Loan agreement including, but not limited to, limitation on the incurrence of certain additional indebtedness and liens, limitations on mergers, acquisitions, dissolution and sale of assets, and limitations on declaration of dividends and distributions to us, all with certain exceptions. At December 31, 2006, the restricted net assets of ThermaClime and its subsidiaries were approximately $35 million. The Borrowers are also subject to a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, measured quarterly on a trailing twelve-month basis. The Borrowers’ fixed charge coverage ratio exceeded the required ratio for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2006.

LSB Industries, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
  

12. Long-Term Debt (continued)

The maturity date of the Senior Secured Loan can be accelerated by the Lender upon the occurrence of a continuing event of default, as defined.

The Senior Secured Loan agreement includes a prepayment fee equal to 1% of the principal amount should the Borrowers elect to prepay any principal amount prior to September 15, 2007 but is eliminated thereafter.

The Senior Secured Loan is secured by (a) a first lien on (i) certain real property and equipment located at the El Dorado, Arkansas plant (“El Dorado Facility”), (ii) certain real property and equipment located at the Cherokee, Alabama plant (“Cherokee Facility”), (iii) certain equipment of the Climate Control Business, and (iv) the equity stock of certain of ThermaClime’s subsidiaries, and (b) a second lien on the assets upon which ThermaClime’s Working Capital Revolver lender has a first lien. The carrying value of the pledged assets is approximately $190 million at December 31, 2006. The Senior Secured Loan is guaranteed by the Company and is also secured with the stock of ThermaClime.

The proceeds of the Senior Secured Loan were used as follows:

· repaid the outstanding principal balance due 2005 under the Financing Agreement discussed below, plus accrued interest, of $36.8 million;
· repurchased a portion of ThermaClime’s 10 3/4% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2007 (discussed in (C) below), held by the Lender, plus accrued interest, of $5.2 million;
· paid certain fees and expenses of $2.4 million including the cost of an interest cap which sets a maximum annual interest rate of 11% or 11.5% depending on the leverage ratio;
· repaid the outstanding principal balance of a term loan of $.4 million;
· paid down the Working Capital Revolver Loan with the remaining balance.

Due to the repayment of the Loans (discussed below) prior to the maturity date of June 30, 2005 with the proceeds of the Senior Secured Loan and since the Lender is not an affiliate of the lenders of the Loans, we recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $4.4 million in 2004.

In May 2002, ThermaClime entered into a financing agreement (“Financing Agreement”) with certain lenders in order to fund the repurchase of a portion of the Senior Unsecured Notes at a substantial discount to the face value. Based upon certain criteria, including but not limited to, unfavorable changes in ThermaClime's financial condition since the Senior Unsecured Notes were originally sold and the high interest rates on the loans (the “Loans”) under the Financing Agreement, the Financing Agreement transaction was accounted for as a debt restructuring. As a result, we were required to recognize all of the interest payments associated with the Loans in long-term debt. Subsequent interest payments on the Loans were charged against the debt balance. Therefore no interest expense on the Financing

F-30

LSB Industries, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
  
 
12. Long-Term Debt (continued)

Agreement indebtedness was recognized from May 2002 through September 2004 in the
accompanying consolidated statements of income.

As required by the lenders of the Loans, as a condition precedent to the completion of the lenders and the transactions contemplated by the Financing Agreement, we granted to the lenders warrants to purchase 595,585 shares of our common stock subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. The estimated fair value of the warrants at the grant date ($1,983,000) was accounted for as debt issuance costs. The exercise price of the warrants was $0.10 per share and contained a provision for cashless exercise. The warrants provided for certain demand registration rights and piggyback registration rights. In March 2005, the lenders of the Loans exercised the warrants, under the cashless exercise provision, to purchase 586,140 shares of our common stock.

(B)   In April 2001, ThermaClime and its subsidiaries ("the Borrowers") entered into a $50 million revolving credit facility (the "Working Capital Revolver Loan") that provides for advances based on specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventories for ThermaClime, and its subsidiaries. Effective February 28, 2005, the Working Capital Revolver Loan was amended which, among other things, extended the maturity date to April 2009 and removed a subjective acceleration clause. The Working Capital Revolver Loan, as amended, accrues interest at a base rate (generally equivalent to the prime rate) plus .75% or LIBOR plus 2%. The interest rate at December 31, 2006 was 6.59% considering the impact of the interest rate cap contracts discussed below. Interest is paid monthly. The facility provides for up to $8.5 million of letters of credit. All letters of credit outstanding reduce availability under the facility. Amounts available for additional borrowing under the Working Capital Revolver Loan at December 31, 2006 were $22.8 million. Under the Working Capital Revolver Loan, as amended, the lender also requires the borrowers to pay a letter of credit fee equal to 1% per annum of the undrawn amount of all outstanding letters of credit, an unused line fee equal to .5% per annum for the excess amount available under the facility not drawn and various other audit, appraisal and valuation charges.

In March 2005, we purchased two interest rate cap contracts which set a maximum three-month LIBOR base rate of 4.59% on $30 million and mature on March 29, 2009.

The lender may, upon an event of default, as defined, terminate the Working Capital Revolver Loan and make the balance outstanding due and payable in full. The Working Capital Revolver Loan is secured by receivables, inventories and intangibles of all the ThermaClime entities other than DSN Corporation and El Dorado Nitric Company and its subsidiaries ("EDNC") and a second lien on certain real property and equipment. EDNC is neither a borrower nor guarantor of the Working Capital Revolver Loan. The carrying value of the pledged assets is approximately $174 million at December 31, 2006.

12. Long-Term Debt (continued)

A prepayment premium equal to 2% of the facility is due to the lender should the borrowers elect to prepay the facility prior to April 13, 2007. This premium is reduced to 1% during the following twelve-month period and is eliminated thereafter.

The Working Capital Revolver Loan, as amended, requires ThermaClime and its Climate Control Business to meet certain financial covenants measured quarterly. ThermaClime and its Climate Control Business were in compliance with those covenants during 2006. The Working Capital Revolver Loan also contains covenants that, among other things, limit the Borrowers' (which does not include the Company) ability to: (a) incur additional indebtedness, (b) incur liens, (c) make restricted payments or loans to affiliates who are not Borrowers, (d) engage in mergers, consolidations or other forms of recapitalization, (e) dispose assets, or (f) repurchase ThermaClime's 10-3/4% Senior Unsecured Notes (the “Notes”). The Working Capital Revolver Loan also requires all collections on accounts receivable be made through a bank account in the name of the lender or their agent.

In connection with the redemption of the Notes in July 2006 as discussed in (C) below, the lenders of the Working Capital Revolver Loan and the Senior Secured Loan provided consents to permit ThermaClime to borrow $6.4 million from the Company for the purpose of redeeming the Notes.

(C)   On March 14, 2006, we completed a private placement to six qualified institutional buyers pursuant to which we sold $18 million aggregate principal amount of our 7% Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2011 (the “Debentures”). We used a placement agent for this transaction which we paid a fee of 6% of the aggregate gross proceeds received in the financing. Other offering expenses in connection with the transaction were $.4 million. As a result, the total debt issuance costs related to this transaction were $1.5 million. Interest on the Debentures is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year which began September 1, 2006.

Jayhawk Capital Management, L.L.C. and its affiliates (together “Jayhawk”) purchased $1 million principal amount of the Debentures. Prior to the closing of the private placement, Jayhawk owned beneficially approximately 17.4% of our common stock (of which 10% relates to shares issuable upon conversion of our preferred stock at a conversion price of $11.55 per share and exercise of an outstanding warrant for up to 112,500 shares at an exercise price of $3.49 per share).

The Debentures are convertible by holders, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company’s common stock prior to their maturity on March 1, 2011. Holders of Debentures electing to convert all or any portion of a Debenture will obtain the following conversion rate per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures during the dates indicated:

The conversion rates will be adjusted to reflect dividends, stock splits, issuances of rights to purchase shares of common stock and other events, as set forth in the Indenture.

During 2006, $14 million of the Debentures were converted into 1,977,499 shares of our common stock at the conversion price of $7.08 per share. Several of the conversions related to offers received from holders and accepted by us which included additional consideration totaling $277,000 which were paid to these holders. Because these offers met the criteria within SFAS 84-Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt, the additional consideration was expensed. See Note 23 - Subsequent Events for additional information concerning subsequent conversions.

If a designated event (as defined in the Debenture) occurs at any time prior to the maturity of the Debentures, the holders may require us to repurchase the Debentures, in whole or in part, for cash on a repurchase date specified by us that is not less than 45 days after the date of mailing of our notice of the designated event. We will repurchase the Debentures at a cash price equal to 101% of the principal amount to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest in accordance with the terms of the Debentures.

The Debentures may be redeemed by us beginning March 1, 2009, under certain conditions. The redemption price is payable at our option in cash or, subject to certain conditions, in shares of our common stock. At maturity, we may elect to pay up to one-half of the principal amount of the Debentures, plus accrued and unpaid interest due thereon, in shares of our common stock under certain conditions; provided that payment of a portion of the principal amount in common stock is subject to shareholder approval. If we pay the redemption price on any portion of the Debentures at maturity on our common stock, our common stock is to be valued for those purposes at 95% of the weighted average of the closing sales price of our common stock for the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the 5th trading day prior to the applicable redemption date or maturity date.

We have used substantially all of the net proceeds from the sale of the Debentures for the redemption or purchase of our higher interest rate debt or debt of our subsidiaries,

including the Notes. The remaining balance was used for general corporate purposes. Approximately $13.6 million of the net proceeds have been used to purchase or redeem all of the outstanding Notes held by unrelated third parties and Jayhawk at ThermaClime’s carrying value (which includes $1 million that was held by Jayhawk) including accrued interest of $.3 million. Approximately $6.95 million of the Notes held by the Company remain outstanding for ThermaClime at December 31, 2006.

We are able to realize deferred tax assets up to an amount equal to the future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences. The taxable temporary differences will turn around in the loss carryforward period as the differences reverse. Other differences will turn around as the assets are disposed in the normal course of business.

Detailed below are the differences between the amount of the provision for income taxes (consisting of federal alternative minimum tax and state income taxes) and the amount which would result from the application of the federal statutory rate to “Income from continuing operations before provision for income taxes and cumulative effect of accounting change” for each of the three years in the period ended December 31:

Rent expense under all operating lease agreements, including month-to-month leases, was $12,587,000 in 2006, $12,205,000 in 2005 and $12,313,000 in 2004. Renewal options are available under certain of the lease agreements for various periods at approximately the existing annual rental amounts.

Nitric Acid Plant - Our wholly owned subsidiary, EDNC operates a nitric acid plant (the "Baytown Plant") at a Baytown, Texas chemical facility in accordance with a series of agreements with Bayer Corporation ("Bayer") (collectively, the "Bayer Agreement"). Under the terms of the Bayer Agreement, EDNC is leasing the Baytown Plant pursuant to a leveraged lease (the “Baytown Lease”) from an unrelated third party with an initial lease term of ten years. Upon expiration of the initial ten-year term in 2009, the Bayer Agreement may be renewed for up to six renewal terms of five years each; however, prior to each renewal period, either party to the Bayer Agreement may opt against renewal. The total amount of future minimum payments due under the Baytown Lease is being charged to rent expense on the straight-line method over the initial ten-year term of the lease. The difference between rent expense recorded and the amount paid is charged to deferred rent expense which is included in accrued and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company and its subsidiaries have not provided a residual value guarantee on the value of the equipment related to the Baytown Lease and Bayer has the unilateral right to determine if the fixed-price purchase option is exercised in 2009. If Bayer decides to exercise the purchase option, they must also fund it. EDNC's ability to perform on its lease commitments is contingent upon Bayer's performance under the Bayer Agreement. One of our subsidiaries has guaranteed the performance of EDNC's obligations under the Bayer Agreement.

Purchase and Sales Commitments - Under an agreement, as amended, with its principal supplier of anhydrous ammonia, the El Dorado Chemical Company (“EDC”) will purchase a majority of its anhydrous ammonia requirements using a market price-based formula plus transportation to the El Dorado Facility through December 31, 2008.

In 1995, EDC entered into a product supply agreement with a third party whereby EDC is required to make monthly facility fee and other payments which aggregate $87,000. In return for this payment, EDC is entitled to certain quantities of compressed oxygen produced by the third party. Except in circumstances as defined by the agreement, the monthly payment is payable regardless of the quantity of compressed oxygen used by EDC. The term of this agreement is for fifteen years; however, EDC can currently terminate the agreement without cause at a cost of approximately $4.5 million. Based on EDC’s estimate of compressed oxygen demands of the plant, the cost of the oxygen under this agreement is expected to be favorable compared to floating market prices. Purchases under this agreement aggregated $1,052,000, $1,035,000 and $988,000 in 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively.

At December 31, 2006, our Climate Control Business had purchase commitments under exchange-traded futures for 300,000 pounds of copper through March 2007 at a weighted average cost of $3.10 per pound and a weighted average market value of $2.86 per pound. At December 31, 2006, our Chemical Business had purchase commitments under exchange-traded futures for 300,000 MMBtu of natural gas through June 2007 at a weighted average cost of $7.59 per MMBtu and a weighted average market value of $6.47 per MMBtu.

At December 31, 2006, we also had standby letters of credit outstanding of $1.3 million of which $.5 million related to our Climate Control Business.

At December 31, 2006, we had deposits from customers of $2.9 million for forward sales commitments including $1.9 million relating to our Climate Control Business and $.8 million relating to our Chemical Business.

In 2001, EDC entered into a long-term cost-plus industrial grade ammonium nitrate supply agreement ("Supply Agreement") with a third party. During August 2006, the Supply Agreement was amended. Under the amended Supply Agreement, beginning in 2007, EDC will supply from the El Dorado Facility approximately 210,000 tons of industrial grade ammonium nitrate per year, which is approximately 75% of the plant's manufacturing capacity for that product, for a term through 2010.

Employment and Severance Agreements - We have employment and severance agreements with several of our officers. The agreements provide for annual base salaries, bonuses and other benefits commonly found in such agreements. In the event of termination of employment due to a change in control (as defined in the agreements), the agreements provide for payments aggregating $9.1 million at December 31, 2006.

Legal Matters - Following is a summary of certain legal matters involving the Company.

A. Environmental Matters

Our operations are subject to numerous environmental laws (“Environmental Laws”) and to other federal, state and local laws regarding health and safety matters (“Health Laws”). In particular, the manufacture and distribution of chemical products are activities which entail environmental risks and impose obligations under the Environmental Laws and the Health Laws, many of which provide for certain performance obligations, substantial fines and criminal sanctions for violations. There can be no assurance that material costs or liabilities will not be incurred by us in complying with such laws or in paying fines or penalties for violation of such laws. The Environmental Laws and Health Laws and enforcement policies thereunder relating to our Chemical Business have in the past resulted, and could in the future result, in compliance expenses, cleanup costs, penalties or other liabilities relating to the handling, manufacture, use, emission, discharge or disposal of pollutants or other substances at or from our facilities or the use or disposal of certain of its chemical products. Historically, significant expenditures have been incurred by subsidiaries within our Chemical Business in order to comply with the Environmental Laws and Health Laws and are reasonably expected to be incurred in the future.

We are required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated in accordance with FIN 47. We have a legal obligation to monitor certain discharge water outlets at our Chemical Business facilities should we discontinue the operations of a facility. We do not believe that the annual costs of the required monitoring activities would be significant and as we currently have no plans to discontinue the use of the facilities and the remaining life of the facilities is indeterminable, an asset retirement liability has not been recognized. Currently, there is insufficient information to estimate the fair value of the asset retirement obligations. However, we will continue to review these obligations and record a liability when a reasonable estimate of the fair value can be made.

The Company has certain facilities in our Chemical Business that contain asbestos insulation around certain piping and heated surfaces. The asbestos insulation is in adequate condition to prevent leakage and can remain in place as long as the facility is operated or remains assembled. The Company plans to maintain the facilities in an adequate condition to prevent leakage through its standard repair and maintenance activities. The Company has not recorded a liability relating to the asbestos insulation, as management believes that it is not possible to reasonably estimate a settlement date for asbestos insulation removal because the facilities have an indeterminate life.

1. Discharge Water Matters

The El Dorado, Arkansas facility (the “El Dorado Facility”) within our Chemical Business generates process wastewater. The process water discharge and storm-water run off are governed by a state National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“NPDES”) water discharge permit issued by the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (“ADEQ”), which permit is to be

F-38

LSB Industries, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
  

14. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

renewed every five years. The ADEQ issued to the El Dorado Facility a new revised NPDES water discharge permit in 2004, and the El Dorado Facility has until June 2007 to meet the compliance deadline for the more restrictive limits under the 2004 NPDES permit. In order to meet the El Dorado Facility’s June 2007 limits, the El Dorado Facility has reduced the effluent levels of its wastewater and believes that the ADEQ will allow the El Dorado Facility to directly discharge its wastewater into the creek that runs through its property.

In order to directly discharge its wastewater from the El Dorado Facility into the creek and to meet the June 2007 permit limits, the El Dorado Facility has conducted a study of the adjacent stream to determine whether a permit modification is appropriate. On September 22, 2006, the Arkansas Pollution Control and Ecology Commission (“Commission”) approved the results of the study that showed that the proposed permit modification is appropriate. A public hearing was held on the matter on November 13, 2006 with minimal opposition. We believe that the ADEQ will issue to the El Dorado Facility the permit modification during the third quarter of 2007. Accordingly, direct discharge of wastewater into the creek appears at this time to be the most likely wastewater discharge option, although there are no assurances that this option will ultimately be made available to the El Dorado Facility.

If the El Dorado Facility is unable to directly discharge its wastewater, the El Dorado Facility is considering the following other options to discharge its wastewater:

 
·
discharge into the sewer discharge system of the city of El Dorado, Arkansas (the “City”), subject to the El Dorado Facility obtaining a sewer discharge permit from the City; or
 
· 
utilization of a joint pipeline to be constructed by the City.

The El Dorado Facility has submitted an application to the City which, if approved, would allow the El Dorado Facility to tie-in to the City’s sewer discharge system and become an industrial customer of the City. While we believe this to be a feasible option, this option has been put in abeyance while the El Dorado Facility concentrates on reducing its effluent levels to allow it to directly discharge its wastewater as discussed above.

Further, for the past several years, the El Dorado Facility has anticipated utilizing a joint pipeline to be built by the City to discharge its wastewater. The City has approved the construction of a joint pipeline, but the City’s construction of the pipeline is subject to the City receiving a permit from the ADEQ. The ADEQ has not issued the necessary permit to discharge wastewater into the pipeline and, as a result, this has caused a delay of unknown duration in construction of the pipeline. During March 2006, the ADEQ issued a draft permit to the City for the joint pipeline, and a public hearing occurred in May 2006 to receive public comments. The final permit was issued in March 2007. It is anticipated that both the joint pipeline group and opposing residents will appeal the final permit. The pipeline will not be available by the June 1, 2007 deadline. The ADEQ has stated to the El Dorado Facility that since the direct discharge of wastewater appears promising, the ADEQ has declined to allow an extension of compliance deadlines that would coincide with a delayed construction schedule for the City’s planned joint wastewater pipeline.

14. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

Irrespective of the option that the El Dorado Facility is required to utilize to dispose of its wastewater, the El Dorado Facility anticipates spending approximately $.8 million to remove certain contaminants from its wastewater as though it was permitted to directly discharge into the creek. If the El Dorado Facility is required to utilize the City’s sewer discharge system and obtains a sewer discharge permit from the City, the El Dorado Facility will be required to obtain from the ADEQ an extension of the June 1, 2007 deadline and will spend an additional $.5 million to connect to the City’s sewer discharge system. If the El Dorado Facility is required to ultimately participate in the City’s joint pipeline to discharge its wastewater, it will be required to obtain from the ADEQ an extension of the June 1, 2007 deadline, and anticipates spending an additional $2 million for its pro-rata share of the City’s cost of engineering and construction of the City’s pipeline.

In addition, the El Dorado Facility has entered into a consent administrative order (“CAO”) that recognizes the presence of nitrate contamination in the shallow groundwater at the El Dorado Facility. A new CAO to address the shallow groundwater contamination became effective on November 16, 2006 and requires the evaluation of the current conditions and remediation based upon a risk assessment. The final remedy for shallow groundwater contamination, should any remediation be required, will be selected pursuant to the new CAO and based upon the risk assessment. Based on area well surveys performed, there are no known users of this shallow groundwater in the area, and preliminary risk assessments have not identified any public health risk that would require remediation. As an interim measure, the El Dorado Facility has installed two recovery wells to recycle ground water and to recover nitrates. The cost of any additional remediation that may be required will be determined based on the results of the investigation and risk assessment and cannot currently be reasonably estimated. Therefore, no liability has been established at December 31, 2006.

2. Air Matters

To resolve ammonia emissions from certain of our nitric acid plants, the El Dorado Facility entered into a new air consent order which became effective December 19, 2006. Under the terms of the consent order, El Dorado replaced the catalyst on the units used for abatement of nitrogen oxide (a periodic maintenance requirement), agreed to monitor ammonia slippage, and agreed to submit an air permit modification to set an allowable limit for the ammonia emissions.

Under the terms of a consent administrative order relating to air matters (“AirCAO”), which became effective in February 2004, resolving certain air regulatory alleged violations associated with the El Dorado Facility’s sulfuric acid plant and certain other alleged air emission violations, the El Dorado Facility is required to implement additional air emission controls at the El Dorado Facility no later than six years from the effective date of the AirCAO. The ultimate cost of any technology changes required cannot presently be determined but is believed to cost between $2.5 million to $4 million of capital expenditures, depending on the technology changes as may be required. Our initial engineering evaluation began during the fourth quarter of 2006.

3. Other Environmental Matters

In April 2002, Slurry Explosive Corporation (“Slurry”), later renamed Chemex I Corp., a subsidiary within our Chemical Business, entered into a Consent Administrative Order (“Slurry Consent Order”) with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (“KDHE”), regarding Slurry’s Hallowell, Kansas manufacturing facility (“Hallowell Facility”). The Slurry Consent Order addressed the release of contaminants from the facility into the soils and groundwater and surface water at the Hallowell Facility. There are no known users of the groundwater in the area. The adjacent strip pit is used for fishing. Under the terms of the Slurry Consent Order, Slurry is required to, among other things, submit an environmental assessment work plan to the KDHE for review and approval, and agree with the KDHE as to any required corrective actions to be performed at the Hallowell Facility.

In connection with the sale of substantially all of the operating assets of Slurry and Universal Tech Corporation (“UTeC”) in December 2002, which was accounted for as discontinued operations, both subsidiaries within our Chemical Business, UTeC leased the Hallowell Facility to the buyer under a triple net long-term lease agreement. However, Slurry retained the obligation to be responsible for, and perform the activities under, the Slurry Consent Order. In addition, certain of our subsidiaries agreed to indemnify the buyer of such assets for these environmental matters. The successor (“Chevron”) of the prior owner of the Hallowell Facility has agreed, within certain limitations, to pay and has been paying one-half of the costs of certain interim remediation measures at the site approved by the KDHE, subject to reallocation.

As a result of meetings with the KDHE, we recorded a provision of $644,000 for our share of these additional estimated costs for 2005. In addition, during 2006, additional costs were estimated due to requirements by the KDHE to further investigate and delineate the site. As a result, for 2006, we recorded provisions totaling $203,000 for our share of these estimated additional costs. The above provisions are classified as discontinued operations (in accordance with SFAS 144) in the accompanying consolidated statements of income (there are no income tax benefits related to this expense). At December 31, 2006, the total estimated liability (which is included in current and noncurrent accrued and other liabilities) in connection with this remediation matter is $1,399,000 and Chevron’s share for one-half of these costs (which is included in accounts receivable and other assets) is $700,000. These amounts are not discounted to their present value. It is reasonably possible that a change in estimate of our liability and receivable will occur in the near term. Should soil remediation be required, it is expected to be completed during 2007 followed by up to five years of ground water monitoring.

Recently, a site modeling was performed by a consulting firm for Slurry and Chevron which indicates that the removal of the contaminated soil would have only limited beneficial effect on the reduction of the contamination of the ground water down gradient of the site. The consultant’s modeling report was presented for review to the KDHE in March 2007. As a result

Slurry and Chevron expect to attempt to pursue a course with the KDHE of long-term surface and ground water monitoring to track the natural decline in contamination, instead of the soil excavation. We estimate the costs relating to this course of action to be substantially less than the cost of the soil excavation but we are unable to determine if the KDHE will ultimately accept the proposal.

B. Other Pending, Threatened or Settled Litigation

1. Climate Control Business

Trison Construction, Inc. (“Trison”), a subsidiary within our Climate Control Business, entered into a contract with Johnson Controls, Inc. (“JCI”) to design, remove and install selected components on existing air conditioning systems at a project in Oklahoma (“Project”). JCI alleged that Trison’s work on the Project contained certain defects and purported inadequacies and claimed that Trison defaulted on its contract with JCI. JCI made demand under Trison’s performance bond seeking recovery of costs alleged to have been required to correct and complete Trison’s work under its contract with JCI. In June 2004, JCI filed for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association claiming damages in the amount of approximately $1.7 million. Trison denied that its work was defective or otherwise incomplete.

On January 16, 2006, the arbitrator issued his Interim Award finding in favor of Trison and against JCI on all allegations. On October 20, 2006, the arbitrator filed his Final Award, which awarded Trison approximately $1.2 million for reimbursement of defense costs which JCI paid in the fourth quarter of 2006. This arbitration award is included in other income in the accompanying consolidated statement of income.

2. Chemical Business

In 2005, EDC sued the general partners of Dresser Rand Company, Ingersoll-Rand Company and DR Holdings Corp., and an individual employee of Dresser Rand Company, in connection with its faulty repair of a hot gas expander of one of EDC’s nitric acid plants. As a result of defects in the repair, on October 8, 2004, the hot gas expander failed, leading to a fire at the nitric acid plant. The lawsuit is styled El Dorado Chemical Company, et al v. Ingersoll-Rand Company (NJ), et al. in the Union County Arkansas Circuit Court.

The complaint alleged that negligent repair led to the hot gas expander failure and resulting fire, and claimed $5 million for property damage to the nitric acid plant and $5 million in lost profits while the nitric acid plant was down for repair. The Defendants claimed that a limitation of liability clause in a purchase order of Dresser Rand Company, the general partnership, applies, effectively limiting damages to the amount of the purchase order, approximately $.1 million.

A trial was held in October 2006 resulting in a jury verdict awarding EDC approximately $9.8 million in damages. The Defendants filed a Notice to Appeal and filed a $10.7 million bond. Post-judgment interest is accruing at the rate of 10%. It is expected that the appeal will be concluded in 2007. EDC will pay attorneys fees equal to 31.67% of any recovery. We will recognize the jury award if and when realized.

Cherokee Nitrogen Company (“CNC”), a subsidiary within our Chemical Business, has been sued for an undisclosed amount of monies based on a claim that CNC breached an agreement by overcharging the plaintiff, Nelson Brothers, LLC, (“Nelson”) for ammonium nitrate as a result of inflated prices for natural gas used to manufacture the ammonium nitrate. CNC has filed a third-party complaint against Dynegy and a subsidiary (“Dynegy”) asserting that Dynegy was the party responsible for fraudulently causing artificial natural gas prices to exist and seeking an undisclosed amount from Dynegy, including any amounts which may be recovered by Nelson. The suit is Nelson Brothers, LLC v. Cherokee Nitrogen v. Dynegy Marketing, and is pending in Alabama state court in Colbert County. Dynegy has filed a counterclaim against CNC for $600,000 allegedly owed on account, which has been recorded by CNC. Although there is no assurance, counsel for CNC has advised us that, at this time, they believe that CNC will recover monies from Dynegy and the likelihood of Dynegy recovering from CNC is remote. Our counsel also has advised us that they believe that the likelihood of Nelson recovering monies from CNC over and above any monies which may be recovered from Dynegy by CNC is remote.

CNC has filed suit against Meecorp Capital Markets, LLC (“Meecorp”) and Lending Solutions, Inc. in Alabama State Court, in Etowah County, Alabama, for recovery of actual damages of $140,000 plus punitive damages, relating to a loan transaction. Meecorp counterclaimed for the balance of an alleged commitment fee of $100,000, an alleged equity kicker of $200,000 and $3,420,000 for loss of opportunity. CNC is vigorously pursuing this matter, and counsel for CNC has advised that they believe there is a good likelihood CNC will recover from the defendants and that the likelihood of Meecorp recovering from CNC is remote.

3. Other

Zeller Pension Plan

In February 2000, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized management to proceed with the sale of the automotive products business, since the automotive products business was no longer a “core business” of the Company. In May 2000, the Company sold substantially all of its assets in its automotive products business. After the authorization by the board, but prior to the sale, the automotive products business purchased the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Zeller Corporation (“Zeller”). The liabilities of Zeller assumed by the automotive products business included Zeller’s pension plan, which is not a multi-employer pension plan. In June 2003, the principal owner (“Owner”) of the buyer of the automotive products business was contacted by a representative of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) regarding the plan. The Owner was informed by the PBGC of a possible under-funding of the plan and a
 
F-43

possible takeover of the plan by the PBGC. The PBGC previously advised the Company that the PBGC may consider the Company to be potentially liable for the under-funding of the Zeller Plan in the event that the plan is taken over by the PBGC and alleged that the under-funding is approximately $600,000. However, the Company’s ERISA counsel was verbally informed by a PBGC representative that he would probably recommend no further action by the PBGC with respect to the Company’s involvement with the Zeller plan. There are no assurances that such recommendation, will be made or, if made, will be accepted by the PBGC.

MEI Drafts

On July 18, 2006, Masinexportimport Foreign Trade Company (“MEI”) gave notice to the Company and a subsidiary of the Company alleging that it was owed $1,533,000 in connection with MEI’s attempted collection of ten non-negotiable bank drafts payable to the order of MEI. The bank drafts were issued by Aerobit Ltd. (“Aerobit”), a non-U.S. company and at the time of issuance of the bank drafts was a subsidiary of the Company. Each of the bank drafts has a face value of $153,300, for an aggregate principal face value of $1,533,000. The bank drafts were issued in September 1992, and had a maturity date of December 31, 2001. Each bank draft was endorsed by LSB Corp., which, at the time of endorsement, was a subsidiary of the Company.

On October 22, 1990, a settlement agreement between the Company, its subsidiary Summit Machine Tool Manufacturing Corp. (“Summit”), and MEI (the “Settlement Agreement”), was entered into, and in connection with the Settlement Agreement, Summit issued to MEI obligations totaling $1,533,000. On May 16, 1992, the Settlement Agreement was rescinded by the Company, Summit, and MEI at the request of MEI, and replaced with an agreement purportedly substantially similar to the Settlement Agreement between MEI and Aerobit, pursuant to which MEI agreed to replace the original $1,533,000 of Summit’s obligations with Aerobit bank drafts totaling $1,533,000, endorsed by LSB Corp. Aerobit previously advised us that MEI has not fulfilled the requirements under the bank drafts for payment thereof.

All of the Company’s ownership interest in LSB Corp. was sold to an unrelated third party in September 2002. Further, all of the Company’s interest in Aerobit was sold to a separate unrelated third party, in a transaction completed on or before November 2002. Accordingly, neither Aerobit, which was the issuer of the bank drafts, nor LSB Corp., which was the endorser of the bank drafts, are currently subsidiaries of the Company.

Neither the Company nor any of its currently owned subsidiaries are makers or endorsers of the bank drafts in question. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in connection with this matter. No liability has been established relating to these bank drafts as of December 31, 2006.

Business Interruption and Property Insurance Claims

1. El Dorado Facility

Beginning in October 2004 and continuing into June 2005, the Chemical Business’ results were adversely affected as a result of the loss of production due to a mechanical failure of one of the four nitric acid plants at the El Dorado, Arkansas plant. The plant was restored to normal production in June 2005. We filed a property damage insurance claim for $3.8 million, net of a $1 million deductible. We also filed a business interruption claim for $5 million, net of the forty-five day waiting period. As of December 31, 2006, the insurers have paid claims totaling $5.5 million. The insurers are contesting our remaining claims.

On March 23, 2006, we filed a lawsuit in Federal Court in the Western District of Arkansas, El Dorado Division, to collect amounts from our insurers to which we believe we are owed under the policy. The total amount claimed under the lawsuit which includes business interruption and property claims, is approximately $2.3 million, plus attorney fees. Additional recoveries, if any, will be recognized when realized.

2. Cherokee Facility

As a result of damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, the natural gas pipeline servicing the Cherokee Facility suffered damage and the owner of the pipeline declared an event of Force Majeure. This event of Force Majeure caused curtailments and interruption in the delivery of natural gas to the Cherokee Facility. CNC’s insurer was promptly put on notice of a claim, but the quantification of the claim amount took time and involved the retention of a gas market expert and a business interruption consultant.

On September 25, 2006, CNC filed a contingent business interruption claim. CNC is in discussions with, and providing additional documentation to, the forensic accountant hired by CNC’s insurers to examine the claim. The recovery of this claim, if any, will be recognized when realized.

Securities and Exchange Commission Inquiry

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) made an informal inquiry to the Company by letter dated August 15, 2006. The inquiry relates to the restatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2004 and accounting matters relating to the change in inventory accounting from LIFO to FIFO. The Company has responded to the inquiry. At the present time the informal inquiry is not a pending proceeding nor does it rise to the level of a government investigation. Until further communication and clarification with the SEC, if any, the Company is unable to determine:

the materiality to the Company’s financial position with respect to enforcement actions, if any, the SEC may have available to it.

We are also involved in various other claims and legal actions which in the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, if determined adversely to us, would not have a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

15. Stockholders' Equity

Qualified Stock Option Plans - At December 31, 2006, we have a 1993 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (“1993 Plan”) and a 1998 Stock Option Plan (“1998 Plan”). The 1993 Plan has expired, and accordingly, no additional options may be granted from this plan. Options granted prior to the expiration of this plan continue to remain valid thereafter in accordance with their terms. Under the 1998 Plan, we are authorized to grant options to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to our key employees. Effective December 31, 2005, our Board of Directors approved the acceleration of the vesting schedule of 61,500 shares of qualified stock options which would have been fully vested on November 17, 2009. Based on FIN 44, since the modification to the vesting schedule did not renew or increase the life of these stock options, a remeasurement of the stock options was not required and no stock-based compensation was recognized in 2005. At December 31, 2006, there are 8,000 options available to be granted. At December 31, 2006, there were 48,000 options outstanding related to the 1993 Plan and 477,304 options outstanding relating to the 1998 Plan all of which were exercisable. The exercise price of options granted under these plans was equal to the market value of our common stock at the date of grant. For participants who own 10% or more of our common stock at the date of grant, the exercise price is 110% of the market value at the date of grant and the options lapse after five years from the date of grant.

Non-Qualified Stock Option Plans - Our Board of Directors approved the grants of non-qualified stock options to our outside directors, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and certain key employees, included in the tables below. The option prices are generally based on the market value of our common stock at the dates of grants. Effective December 31, 2005, our Board of Directors approved the acceleration of the vesting schedule of 30,000 shares

of non-qualified stock options which would have been fully vested on April 22, 2008 and 15,000 shares of non-qualified stock options which would have been fully vested on November 7, 2006. Based on FIN 44, since this modification to the vesting schedule did not renew or increase the life of these stock options, a remeasurement of the stock options was not required and no stock-based compensation was recognized in 2005. At December 31, 2006, all outstanding non-qualified stock options were exercisable.

We have an Outside Directors Stock Option Plan (the "Outside Director Plan"). The Outside Director Plan authorizes the grant of non-qualified stock options to each member of our Board of Directors who is not an officer or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries. The maximum number of options that may be issued under the Outside Director Plan is 400,000 of which 295,000 are available to be granted at December 31, 2006. At December 31, 2006, there are 90,000 options outstanding related to the Outside Director Plan.

Activity in our non-qualified stock option plans during each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006 is as follows:

On June 19, 2006, the Executive Compensation and Option Committee of our Board of Directors granted 450,000 shares of non-qualified stock options to certain employees which are subject to shareholders’ approval. The option price of these options is $8.01 per share which is based on the market value of our common stock at the date of authorization. These options will vest over a ten-year period at a rate of 10% per year and expire on September 16, 2016 with certain restrictions. Under SFAS 123(R), the fair value for these options will be estimated, using an option pricing model, as of the date we receive shareholders’ approval which is currently expected to be no later than our 2007 annual shareholders’ meeting. In general, a ratable portion of the total estimated fair value relating to these options will be charged to selling, general, and administrative expense (“SG&A”) at the date of shareholders’ approval and the remaining balance amortized to SG&A over the options’ remaining vesting period.

Preferred Share Purchase Rights - In 1999, we adopted a preferred share rights plan (the "Rights Plan"). Under the Rights Plan, we declared a dividend distribution of one Renewed Preferred Share Purchase Right (the "Renewed Preferred Right") for each outstanding share of our common stock outstanding as of February 27, 1999 and all further issuances of our common stock would carry the rights. The Rights Plan has a term of ten years from its effective date. The Renewed Preferred Rights are designed to ensure that all of our stockholders receive fair and equal treatment in the event of a proposed takeover or abusive tender offer.

The Renewed Preferred Rights are generally exercisable when a person or group (other than Jack E. Golsen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), and his affiliates, our company or any of our subsidiaries, our employee savings plans and certain other limited excluded persons or entities, as set forth in the Rights Plan) acquire beneficial ownership of 20% or more of our common stock (such a person or group will be referred to as the "Acquirer"). Each Renewed Preferred Right (excluding Renewed Preferred Rights owned by the Acquirer) entitles stockholders to buy one one-hundredth (1/100) of a share of a new series of participating preferred stock at an exercise price of $20. Following the acquisition by the Acquirer of

F-49

LSB Industries, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
  

15. Stockholders' Equity (continued)

beneficial ownership of 20% or more of our common stock, and prior to the acquisition of 50% or more of our common stock by the Acquirer, our Board of Directors may exchange all or a portion of the Renewed Preferred Rights (other than Renewed Preferred Rights owned by the Acquirer) for our common stock at the rate of one share of common stock per Renewed Preferred Right. Following acquisition by the Acquirer of 20% or more of our common stock, each Renewed Preferred Right (other than the Renewed Preferred Rights owned by the Acquirer) will entitle its holder to purchase a number of our common shares having a market value of two times the Renewed Preferred Right's exercise price in lieu of the new preferred stock. Thus, only as an example, if our common shares at such time were trading at $10 per share and the exercise price of the Renewed Preferred Right is $20, each Renewed Preferred Right would thereafter be exercisable at $20 for four of our common shares.

If after the Renewed Preferred Share Rights are triggered, we are acquired, or we sell 50% or more of our assets or earning power, each Renewed Preferred Right (other than the Renewed Preferred Rights owned by the Acquirer) will entitle its holder to purchase a number of the acquiring company's common shares having a market value at the time of two times the Renewed Preferred Right's exercise price, except if the transaction is consummated with a person or group who acquired our common shares pursuant to a Permitted Offer, the price for all of our common shares paid to all of our common shareholders is not less than the price per share of our common stock pursuant to the Permitted Offer and the form of consideration offered in the transaction is the same as the form of consideration paid pursuant to the Permitted Offer. As defined in the Rights Plan, a "Permitted Offer" is an offer for all of our common shares at a price and on terms that a majority of our Board, who are not officers, or the person or group who could trigger the exerciseability of the Renewed Preferred Rights, deems adequate and in our best interest and that of our shareholders. Thus, only as an example, if our common shares were trading at $10 per share and the exercise price of a Renewed Preferred Right is $20, each Renewed Preferred Right would thereafter be exercisable at $20 for four shares of the Acquirer.

Prior to the acquisition by the Acquirer of beneficial ownership of 20% or more of our stock, our Board of Directors may redeem the Renewed Preferred Rights for $.01 per Renewed Preferred Right.

Other - As of December 31, 2006, there was a warrant outstanding (exercisable at $3.49 per share until March 2008) to purchase 112,500 shares of common stock.

In March 2005, holders exercised certain warrants, under a cashless exercise provision, to purchase 586,140 shares of our common stock.

As of December 31, 2006, we have reserved 5.3 million shares of common stock issuable upon potential conversion of convertible debt, preferred stocks, stock options and warrants pursuant to original terms. See Note 23 - Subsequent Events.

16. Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock

The 20,000 shares of Series B cumulative, convertible preferred stock, $100 par value, are convertible, in whole or in part, into 666,666 shares of our common stock (33.3333 shares of common stock for each share of preferred stock) at any time at the option of the holder and entitle the holder to one vote per share. The Series B preferred stock provides for annual cumulative dividends of 12% from date of issue, payable when and as declared. During each quarter in 2006, our board of directors declared nominal dividends of $.37 per share on our outstanding Series B preferred stock. At December 31, 2006, $1.65 million of dividends ($82.52 per share) on the Series B preferred stock were in arrears.

The Class C preferred stock, designated as a $3.25 convertible exchangeable Class C preferred stock, Series 2, has no par value ("Series 2 Preferred"). The Series 2 Preferred has a liquidation preference of $50.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends and is convertible at the option of the holder at any time, unless previously redeemed, into our common stock at an initial conversion price of $11.55 per share (equivalent to a conversion rate of approximately 4.3 shares of common stock for each share of Series 2 Preferred), subject to adjustment under certain conditions. Upon the mailing of notice of certain corporate actions, holders will have special conversion rights for a 45-day period. The Series 2 Preferred is redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at $50.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption date. Dividends on the Series 2 Preferred are cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears. During each quarter in 2006, our board of directors declared nominal dividends of $.10 per share on the then outstanding Series 2 Preferred. At December 31, 2006, $11.97 million of dividends ($23.975 per share) on the Series 2 Preferred were in arrears.

The Series 2 Preferred also is exchangeable in whole, but not in part, at our option on any dividend payment date for 6.50% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2018 (the "Debentures") at the rate of $50.00 principal amount of Debentures for each share of Series 2 Preferred. Interest on the Debentures, if issued, will be payable semiannually in arrears. The Debentures will, if issued, contain conversion and optional redemption provisions similar to those of the Series 2 Preferred and will be subject to a mandatory annual sinking fund redemption of 5% of the amount of Debentures initially issued, commencing on the June 15 following their issuance. 

During October 2006, we entered into agreements (“Exchange Agreements”) with certain holders of our Series 2 Preferred. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreements, we issued 773,655 shares of our common stock in exchange for 104,548 shares of Series 2 Preferred and the waiver by the holders of their rights to all unpaid dividends. As of the date of the Exchange Agreements, the amount of unpaid dividends on the Series 2 Preferred was approximately $2.4 million ($23.2625 per share). Because the exchanges were pursuant to terms other the original terms, the transactions were considered extinguishments of the preferred stock. In addition, the transactions qualified as induced conversions under SFAS 84. Accordingly, we recorded a charge (stock dividend) to accumulated deficit of approximately $2.9 million which equaled the excess of the fair value of the common stock issued over the fair value of the common stock issuable pursuant to the original conversion terms. To measure fair value, we used the closing price of our common stock on the day the parties entered into an Exchange Agreement.

16. Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock (continued)

During November 2006, we entered into an agreement with Jayhawk Capital Management, L.L.C. and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the “Jayhawk Group”). Under the agreement, the Jayhawk Group agreed, if the Company made an exchange offer for the Series 2 Preferred, to tender 180,450 shares of the 346,662 shares of Series 2 Preferred owned by the Jayhawk Group. In addition, as a condition to the Jayhawk Group’s obligation to tender such shares of Series 2 Preferred in an exchange offer, the agreement further provides that Jack E. Golsen (Chairman of the Board and CEO of the Company), his wife, children and certain entities controlled by them (the “Golsen Group”) would exchange only 26,467 of the 49,550 shares of Series 2 Preferred beneficially owned by them. As a result, only 309,807 of the 499,102 shares of Series 2 Preferred outstanding would be eligible to participate in an exchange offer, with the remaining 189,295 being held by the Jayhawk Group and the Golsen Group. See Note 23 - Subsequent Events for a discussion concerning the subsequent exchange offer.

During 2006, we purchased 1,600 shares of Series 2 Preferred in the open market for $95,000 (average cost of $59.74 per share). These shares are to be cancelled by the Company. During 2005, we purchased 13,300 shares of Series 2 Preferred in the open market for $597,000 (average cost of $44.90 per share). These shares are being held as treasury stock. During 2004, we purchased 5,000 shares of Series 2 Preferred in the open market for $271,000 ($54.12 per share). These shares were cancelled by the Company.

The 1,000,000 shares of Class C preferred stock, designated as Series D 6% cumulative, convertible Class C preferred stock (“Series D Preferred”), have no par value and are convertible, in whole or in part, into 250,000 shares of our common stock (1 share of common stock for 4 shares of preferred stock) at any time at the option of the holder. Dividends on the Series D Preferred are cumulative and payable annually in arrears at the rate of 6% per annum of the liquidation preference of $1.00 per share but will be paid only after accrued and unpaid dividends are paid on the Series 2 Preferred. At December 31, 2006, dividends of $300,000 ($0.30 per share) on the Series D Preferred were in arrears. Each holder of the Series D Preferred shall be entitled to .875 votes per share.

At December 31, 2006, we are authorized to issue an additional 229,317 shares of $100 par value preferred stock and an additional 3,500,898 shares of no par value preferred stock. Upon issuance, our Board of Directors will determine the specific terms and conditions of such preferred stock.

17. Executive Benefit Agreements and Employee Savings Plans

In 1981, we entered into individual death benefit agreements with certain key executives (“1981 Agreements”). Under the 1981 Agreements, should the executive die while employed, we are required to pay the beneficiary named in the agreement in 120 equal monthly installments aggregating to an amount specified in the agreement. At December 31, 2006, the monthly installments specified in the 1981 Agreements total $34,000 and the aggregate undiscounted death benefits are $4.1 million. The benefits under the 1981 Agreements are forfeited if the

F-52

LSB Industries, Inc.

17. Executive Benefit Agreements and Employee Savings Plans (continued)

respective executive's employment is terminated for any reason prior to death. The 1981 Agreements may be terminated by the Company at any time and for any reason prior to the death of the employee.

In 1992, we entered into individual benefit agreements with certain key executives (“1992 Agreements”) that provide for annual benefit payments for life (in addition to salary) ranging from $16,000 to $18,000 payable in monthly installments when the employee reaches age 65. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the liability for benefits under the 1992 Agreements is $979,000 and $938,000, respectively, which is included in current and noncurrent accrued and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The liability reflects the present value of the remaining estimated payments at discount rates of 6.01% and 5.57% as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Future estimated undiscounted payments aggregate to $2.1 million as of December 31, 2006. For 2006, 2005 and 2004, charges to selling, general and administrative expense for these benefits were $75,000, $110,000 and $171,000, respectively. As part of the 1992 Agreements, should the executive die prior to attaining the age of 65, we will pay the beneficiary named in the agreement in 120 equal monthly installments aggregating to an amount specified in the agreement. This amount is in addition to any amount payable under the 1981 Agreement should that executive have both a 1981 and 1992 agreement. At December 31, 2006, the aggregate undiscounted death benefit payments specified in the 1992 Agreements are $615,000. The benefits under the 1992 Agreements are forfeited if the respective executive's employment is terminated prior to age 65 for any reason other than death. The 1992 Agreements may be terminated by the Company at any time and for any reason prior to the death of the employee.

In 2005, we entered into a death benefit agreement (“2005 Agreement”) with our CEO. The Death Benefit Agreement provides that, upon our CEO’s death, we will pay to our CEO’s designated beneficiary, a lump-sum payment of $2.5 million to be funded from the net proceeds received by us under certain life insurance policies on our CEO’s life that are owned by us. We are obligated to keep in existence life insurance policies with a total face amount of no less than $2.5 million of the stated death benefit. As of December 31, 2006, the life insurance policies owned by us on the life of our CEO have a total face amount of $7 million. The benefit under the 2005 Agreement is not contingent upon continued employment and may be amended at any time by written agreement executed by the CEO and the Company.

As of December 31, 2006, the liability for death benefits under the 1981, 1992 and 2005 Agreements is $1,446,000 ($869,000 at December 31, 2005) which is included in current and noncurrent accrued and other liabilities. We accrue for such liabilities when they become probable and discount the liabilities to their present value.

To assist us in funding the benefit agreements discussed above and for other business reasons, we purchased life insurance contracts on various individuals in which we are the beneficiary. As of December 31, 2006, the total face amount of these policies is $21 million of which $2.5

17. Executive Benefit Agreements and Employee Savings Plans (continued)

million of the proceeds is required to be paid under the 2005 Agreement as discussed above. Some of these life insurance policies have cash surrender values that we have borrowed against. The cash surrender values are included in other assets in the amounts of $917,000 and $632,000, net of borrowings of $2,084,000 and $1,939,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Increases in cash surrender values of $432,000, $574,000 and $465,000 are netted against the premiums paid for life insurance policies of $837,000, $1,037,000 and $678,000 in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expense.

We sponsor a savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code under which participation is available to substantially all full-time employees. We do not presently contribute to this plan except for EDC and Cherokee Nitrogen Company’s union employees and EDNC employees which amounts were not material for each of the three years ended December 31, 2006.

18. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following discussion of fair values is not indicative of the overall fair value of our assets and liabilities since the provisions of SFAS 107 do not apply to all assets, including intangibles.

As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, due to their short-term nature, the carrying values of financial instruments classified as cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term financing and drafts payable, and accrued and other liabilities approximated their estimated fair values. Carrying values for our interest rate cap contracts and exchange-traded futures contracts approximate their fair value since they are accounted for on a mark-to-market basis. Carrying values for variable rate borrowings are believed to approximate their fair value. Fair values for fixed rate borrowings, other than the Debentures and the Notes, are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis that applies interest rates currently being offered on borrowings of similar amounts and terms to those currently outstanding while also taking into consideration our current credit worthiness. The estimated fair value of the Debentures is based on the conversion rate and market price of our common stock at December 31, 2006. At December 31, 2005, the fair value for the Notes was based on market quotations; however, there had been a low volume of trading activity. In 2006, we purchased the $13.3 million of the Notes at carrying value.

19. Property and Business Interruption Insurance Recoveries

Beginning in October 2004 and continuing into June 2005, the Chemical Business’ results were adversely affected as a result of the loss of production due to a mechanical failure of one of the four nitric acid plants at the El Dorado Facility. The plant was restored to normal production in June 2005. We filed insurance claims for recovery of business interruption and property losses related to this incident. For 2006 and 2005, we realized insurance recoveries of $882,000 and $1,929,000, respectively, relating to the business interruption claim which is recorded as a reduction to cost of sales. For 2005, we recognized insurance recoveries totaling $1,618,000, of which most were under our replacement cost insurance policy relating to this property damage claim which are recorded as other income. We have instituted litigation for the balance of our business interruption and property insurance claims relating to this incident. Additional recoveries, if any, related to this incident will be recognized when realized.

Beginning in 2001 through 2003, we incurred business interruptions when the sulfuric acid plant at the El Dorado Facility experienced several mechanical problems with a boiler that had been repaired by one of our vendors. As a result, other equipment was also damaged at the plant. During 2004, net settlements of $1,497,000 were reached with the vendor’s insurance carrier and our insurance carriers. These settlements are classified as a reduction of cost of sales in 2004.

21. Segment Information

Factors Used by Management to Identify the Enterprise's Reportable Segments and Measurement of Segment Income or Loss and Segment Assets
 
We have two continuing reportable segments: the Climate Control Business and the Chemical Business. Our reportable segments are based on business units that offer similar products and services. The reportable segments are each managed separately because they manufacture and distribute distinct products with different production processes.

We evaluate performance and allocate resources based on operating income or loss. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

Description of Each Reportable Segment

Climate Control

This business segment manufactures and sells, primarily from its various facilities in Oklahoma City, a variety of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (“HVAC”) products for use in commercial and residential new building construction, renovation of existing buildings and replacement of existing systems. Our HVAC products consist of geothermal and water source heat pumps, hydronic fan coils, and other HVAC products including large custom air handlers, modular chiller systems and other products and services. Our various facilities in Oklahoma City comprise substantially all of the Climate Control segment's operations. Sales to customers of this segment primarily include original equipment manufacturers, contractors and independent sales representatives located throughout the world.

Chemical

This business segment manufactures and sells concentrated, blended and regular nitric acid, mixed nitrating acids, metallurgical and commercial grade anhydrous ammonia, sulfuric acid, and high purity ammonium nitrate for industrial applications, anhydrous ammonia, ammonium nitrate, urea ammonium nitrate, and ammonium nitrate ammonia solution for agricultural applications, and industrial grade ammonium nitrate and solutions for the mining industry. Our primary manufacturing facilities are located in El Dorado, Arkansas, Baytown, Texas and Cherokee, Alabama. Sales to customers of this segment primarily include industrial users of acids throughout the United States and parts of Canada, farmers, ranchers, fertilizer dealers and distributors located in the Central and Southeastern United States, and explosive manufacturers in the United States.

The Chemical Business is subject to various federal, state and local environmental regulations. Although we have designed policies and procedures to help reduce or minimize the likelihood of significant chemical accidents and/or environmental contamination, there can be no assurances that we will not sustain a significant future operating loss related thereto.

Major Customers

Net sales to one customer, Orica USA, Inc., of our Chemical Business segment represented approximately 10%, 11% and 10% of our total net sales for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Under the terms of the Supply Agreement, EDC will supply from the El Dorado Facility industrial grade ammonium nitrate through 2010.

Net sales to another customer, Bayer, of our Chemical Business segment represented approximately 7%, 9% and 11% of our total net sales for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Under the terms of the Bayer Agreement, Bayer will purchase, from one of our subsidiaries, all of its requirements for nitric acid to be used at the Baytown, Texas facility for a term through at least May 2009, with provisions for renewal thereafter.

22. Related Party Transactions

One of the manufacturing facilities within our Climate Control Business sustained substantial water damage in its office area resulting from the improper installation by an unrelated third-party vendor of certain plumbing to a water line. As a result of the water damage, it became necessary to replace all of the carpet in the office area of the facility. During 2006, we purchased replacement carpet from a company (“Designer Rugs”) owned by Linda Golsen Rappaport, the daughter of Jack E. Golsen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and sister of Barry H. Golsen, our President. We paid approximately $159,000 to Designer Rugs for the new carpet, removal of the damaged carpeting and installation of the new carpet. During the second quarter of 2006, we were reimbursed under our insurance coverage for the cost of the carpet and installation except for a deductible amount of $25,000.

In addition, another subsidiary within our Climate Control Business is in the process of remodeling their offices including the replacement of carpet and flooring throughout the office area. Payments totaling $69,000 were made during 2006 towards a purchase totaling $75,000

from Designer Rugs. Substantially all of the carpet was delivered and installed in 2006. Final completion expected early in 2007.

During 2006, Jayhawk purchased $1 million principal amount of the Debentures. In addition, we purchased $1 million principal amount of the Notes held by Jayhawk. Jayhawk earned interest of $117,000 relating to these debt instruments in 2006.

During 2006 we paid nominal cash dividends to holders of certain series of our preferred stock. These dividend payments included $91,000 and $133,000 to the Golsen Group and the Jayhawk Group, respectively. Additionally, the dividend payments included $23,000 collectively to the significant shareholders discussed below.

In October 2006, we issued 773,655 shares of our common stock to certain holders of our Series 2 Preferred in exchange for 104,548 shares of Series 2 Preferred. The shares of common stock issued included 303,400 and 262,167 shares issued for exchange for 41,000 and 35,428 shares of Series 2 Preferred stock to Paul Denby and James Sight (“Significant Shareholders”), respectively, or to entities controlled by the Significant Shareholders.

During November 2006, we entered into the Jayhawk Agreement with the Jayhawk Group. Under the Jayhawk Agreement, the Jayhawk Group agreed, if we made an exchange offer for the Series 2 Preferred, to tender 180,450 shares of the 346,662 shares of Series 2 Preferred owned by the Jayhawk Group. In addition, as a condition to the Jayhawk Group’s obligation to tender the shares of Series 2 Preferred in an exchange offer, the Jayhawk Agreement further provided that the Golsen Group would exchange 26,467 shares of Series 2 Preferred beneficially owned by them. See Note 23-Subsequent Events.

23. Subsequent Events (Unaudited)
 
On January 26, 2007, our Board of Directors approved and on February 9, 2007, we began an exchange offer to exchange shares of our common stock for up to 309,807 of the 499,102 outstanding shares of the Series 2 Preferred. The exchange offer expired on March 12, 2007. The terms of the exchange offer provided for the issuance by the Company of 7.4 shares of common stock in exchange for each share of Series 2 Preferred tendered in the exchange offer and the waiver of all rights to accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series 2 Preferred tendered. As a result of this exchange offer, we issued 2,262,965 shares of our common stock for 305,807 shares of Series 2 Preferred that were tendered. In addition, an aggregate of approximately $7.3 million in accrued and unpaid dividends were waived as a result of this exchange offer. This exchange transaction qualified as an induced conversion under SFAS 84. As a result, in the first quarter of 2007, we will record a charge (stock dividend) to accumulated deficit which will equal the excess of the fair value of the common stock issued over the fair value of the common stock issuable pursuant to the original conversion terms. In addition, such stock dividend will decrease net income applicable to common stock, thereby negatively impacting earnings per common share for the first quarter of 2007.

23. Subsequent Events (Unaudited) (continued)

Pursuant to the Jayhawk Agreement and the terms of the exchange offer, the Jayhawk Group and the Golsen Group tendered 180,450 and 26,467 shares, respectively, of Series 2 Preferred for 1,335,330 and 195,855 shares, respectively, of our common stock and waived a total of approximately $5.0 million in accrued and unpaid dividends.

During February 2007, $3.0 million of the Debentures were converted into 423,750 shares of our common stock at the conversion price of $7.08 per common share.

On March 6, 2007, our stockholders approved two amendments to the Series 2 Preferred, which amendments became effective on that date. The first amendment provides that the right of the holders of the Series 2 Preferred to elect two directors to our board of directors when at least six quarterly dividends on the Series 2 Preferred are in arrears and unpaid may be exercised only if and so long as at least 140,000 shares of Series 2 Preferred are issued and outstanding. The second amendment permits us to purchase or otherwise acquire shares of our common stock for a five-year period even though cumulative accrued and unpaid dividends exist on the Series 2 Preferred. The five-year period commenced on March 13, 2007, upon the completion of the exchange offer.

In April 2007, Jayhawk converted the remaining $1 million of the Debentures into 141,040 shares of our common stock at the conversion price of $7.09 per share and we paid Jayhawk additional consideration of $35,000. As a result, all of the Debentures have been converted into shares of our common stock and no Debentures are outstanding.

Relating to the discharge water matters discussed in Note 14-Commitments and Contingencies, we have been orally advised by the ADEQ that the ADEQ will issue to the El Dorado Facility a consent administrative order that will adjust certain permit limits and enable us to continue to discharge the wastewater from the El Dorado Facility into the creek. Based on the informal representation by the ADEQ, we believe the anticipated consent administrative order is forthcoming; however, we have no assurance that such order will be issued.

Relating to other pending, threatened or settled litigation discussed in Note 14-Commitments and Contingencies, Nelson and CNC have agreed in principle to settle their portion of the lawsuit and, in connection with such settlement, CNC will pay Nelson 25% of any net amount of certain proceeds that may be received (after costs incurred) by CNC from Dynegy as a result of settlement or judgment in connection with the lawsuit. The settlement between CNC and Nelson is subject to the parties entering into a definitive settlement agreement.

Relating to the grant of 450,000 shares of non-qualified stock options which were subject to shareholders’ approval as discussed in Note 15-Stockholders’ Equity, at our 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on June 14, 2007, the grant of these stock options was approved by the our shareholders.

23. Subsequent Events (Unaudited) (continued)
 
On June 28, 2007, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement, with each of 22 qualified institutional buyers (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company sold $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.5% Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2012 (the “2007 Debentures”) in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to the exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), afforded by Section 4(2) of the Act and Regulation D promulgated under the Act. The 2007 Debentures bear interest at the rate of 5.5% per year. Interest is payable on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2008. The net proceeds received by the Company in connection with this sale, after discounts and commissions were approximately $57 million. The Company has currently invested the net proceeds in money market investments and has or intends to use the net proceeds, to redeem its outstanding shares of $3.25 Convertible Exchangeable Class C Preferred Stock, Series 2; to repay certain outstanding mortgages and equipment loans; to pay accrued and unpaid dividends on its outstanding shares of Series B 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and Series D 6% Cumulative Convertible Class C Preferred Stock; and the balance to initially reduce outstanding borrowing under existing revolving working credit facility, for certain discretionary capital expenditures and general working capital purposes.
 
The 2007 Debentures are convertible by holders in whole or in part into shares of the Company’s common stock prior to their maturity on July 1, 2012. The conversion rate of the 2007 Debentures for holders electing to convert all or any portion of a 2007 Debenture is 36.4 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of debentures (representing a conversion price of $27.47 per share of common stock), subject to adjustment under certain conditions as set forth in the Indenture.

The Company has also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Purchasers, which required the Company to register the 2007 Debentures, and the shares of common stock into which they are convertible, within 60 days of the closing of the Purchase Agreement, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective within 150 days of such closing date. The Company is also required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement effective until July 1, 2010

As of June 29, 2007, we became an accelerated filer because our public float held by non-affiliates exceeded the $75 million threshold. As a result, we will be required to provide a management’s report on our internal control over financial reporting and an assessment of such report by our independent auditors in our Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2007. In addition, we will incur additional costs to meet the requirements as an accelerated filer for the year ending December 31, 2007.
 
On July 11, 2007, our Board of Directors approved the redemption of all of our outstanding Series 2 Preferred. We mailed a notice of redemption to all holders of record of our Series 2 Preferred on July 12, 2007. The redemption date is scheduled for August 27, 2007, and the redemption price is $50.00 per share of Series 2 Preferred, plus $26.25 per share in accrued and unpaid dividends pro-rata to the date of redemption. As of the date of this report, 193,295 shares

of Series 2 Preferred were outstanding. The Series 2 Preferred will be redeemed using a portion of the proceeds of the 2007 Debentures.

The holders of shares of Series 2 Preferred have the right to convert each share into 4.329 shares of our common stock, which right to convert terminates 10 days prior to the redemption date. If a holder converts its shares of Series 2 Preferred, the holder would not be entitled to any accrued and unpaid dividends as to the shares of Series 2 Preferred converted. If all of the outstanding shares Series 2 Preferred are converted, 836,774 shares of our common stock would be issuable.

As stated above, we intend to use a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the 2007 Debentures to redeem our Series 2 Preferred. The Series 2 Preferred is a cumulative preferred. As a result, if we redeem the Series 2 Preferred, we are obligated to pay, in cash, a redemption price for each share redeemed of $50.00 per share, plus $26.25 per share of accrued and unpaid dividends thereon pro-rata to the date of redemption.  If, after notice of redemption is given, a holder of the Series 2 Preferred elects to convert his, her or its shares into our common stock pursuant to its terms, the Certificate of Designation for the Series 2 Preferred provides, and it is the Company’s position, that the holder that so converts will not be entitled to receive payment of any accrued and unpaid dividends on the shares so converted. The Company has been advised by an affiliate that is the Company’s second largest stockholder, Jayhawk Capital Management, Inc. and other Jayhawk entities, through their manager, Kent McCarthy (the “Jayhawk Group”), that if the Company redeems the Series 2 Preferred and the Jayhawk Group thereafter converts its holding of Series 2 Preferred, the Jayhawk Group may bring legal proceedings against us for all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series 2 Preferred that the Jayhawk Group may convert after receiving a notice of redemption. As of the date of this report, there was approximately $4.0 million of accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series 2 Preferred held by the Jayhawk Group.
 
Upon completion of the redemption of our outstanding Series 2 Preferred, the two independent directors elected by the holders of our Series 2 Preferred will no longer serve as directors on our board of directors. The American Stock Exchange (“ASE”) requires that at least a majority of the directors on the board of directors of companies listed on the ASE be independent. When the two directors elected by the Series 2 Preferred cease to be directors, the independent directors will no longer be a majority of our board of directors. If upon completion of the redemption we are unable, or otherwise fail, to appoint two additional independent directors to our board of directors or reduce the number of our non-independent directors, our board would no longer have a majority of independent directors, and we would not meet the required listing standards of the ASE. In such event, the ASE could issue a warning letter or a deficiency letter or it could delist our common stock.

1. Basis of Presentation and Change in Accounting for Plant Turnaround Costs

The accompanying condensed financial statements of the parent company include the accounts of LSB Industries, Inc. (the "Company") only. The Company's investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost plus equity in undistributed earnings (losses) of subsidiaries since date of acquisition.
