FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Company or group of companies for which report is filed: LSB Industries, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries.

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of LSB Industries, Inc. at June 30, 2003, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six-month and three-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 have been subjected to a review, in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants by Ernst & Young LLP, independent auditors, whose report with respect thereto appears elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. The financial statements mentioned above are unaudited and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of adjustments of a normal recurring nature, except for the cumulative effect of accounting change recognized in the first quarter of 2002 as discussed in Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. The results of operations for the six-months ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2002 was derived from audited financial statements as of that date.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 and 2002

Note 1: Basis of Presentation The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of LSB Industries, Inc. (the "Company", "We", "Us" or "Our") and its subsidiaries. We are a diversified holding company which is engaged, through our subsidiaries, in the manufacture and sale of chemical products (the "Chemical Business") and the manufacture and sale of a broad range of air handling and heat pump products (the "Climate Control Business"). See Note 5 - Segment Information. In December 2002, we sold all of the operating assets of Slurry Explosive Corporation ("SEC") and Universal Technology Corporation ("UTeC") which operations were formerly included in the Chemical Business. Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes reflect SEC and UTeC as discontinued operations for all periods presented (See Note 9 - Discontinued Operations). All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Note 2: Income Taxes At December 31, 2002, we had regular-tax net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards of $40 million ($16.3 million alternative minimum tax NOLs). Due to NOL carryforwards, no provisions for income taxes were necessary for the six and three-month periods of 2003 and 2002. Due to a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets (principally related to net operating loss carryforwards), no benefits for income taxes were necessary for the six and three-month periods of 2003 and 2002.

Note 3: Income (Loss) Per Share Net income (loss) applicable to common stock is computed by adjusting net income (loss) by the amount of preferred stock dividends. 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 period. Diluted income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding and the assumed conversion of dilutive convertible securities outstanding, if any, after appropriate adjustment for interest, net of related income tax effects on convertible notes payable, as applicable.

For the six months ended June 30, 2003, our Board of Directors did not declare and we did not pay the regular quarterly dividends of $.8125 on our Series 2 $3.25 Convertible Class C preferred stock. Dividends in arrears at June 30, 2003, was $8.1 million. Also our Board of Directors did not declare and we did not pay the January 1, 2003 regular dividend on our Series B 12% Convertible, Cumulative preferred stock. Dividends in arrears related to the Series B 12% Convertible, Cumulative preferred stock at June 30, 2003, was $.8 million. In addition, dividends in arrears at June 30, 2003, related to our Series D 6% Cumulative, Convertible Class C preferred stock was $.1 million.

Note 4: Stockholders' Equity (continued)

Sale of Common Stock

Effective March 25, 2003, we completed a private placement of 450,000 shares of our common stock and a five year warrant to purchase up to 112,500 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.49 per share, subject to anti-dilution adjustments under certain conditions. The total price paid to us for the shares of common stock and the warrant was approximately $1.6 million. The average closing price of our common stock over the 30-day period prior to the transaction was $3.49.

Stock Options

As of June 30, 2003, we have several Qualified and Non-Qualified Stock Option Plans. We account for those plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. No stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income (loss) for the six and three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based compensation. The fair value for the underlying options was estimated at their respective date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because our employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of our employee stock options.

Note 6: Contingencies

Legal Matters

Following is a summary of certain legal actions 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 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 penalties, cleanup costs, 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 our subsidiary, El Dorado Chemical Company ("EDC") at its El Dorado, Arkansas plant (the "El Dorado Facility") in order to comply with the Environmental Laws and Health Laws. Our Chemical Business could be required to make significant additional site or operational modifications at this or other facilities involving substantial expenditures. In addition, if we should decide to no longer operate the El Dorado Facility and if such facility is retired, we may be required to continue to operate discharge water equipment, the cost and timing of which is unknown.

1. Water Matters

The Chemical Business' El Dorado Facility generates process water discharge consisting of cooling tower and boiler blowdowns, contact storm water (rainfall inside the plant area which picks up contaminants), and miscellaneous spills and leaks from process equipment ("Discharge Water"). This Discharge Water has historically been collected and transported to a small pond for pH adjustment and then to a large pond for biological oxidation. Primary contaminants are ammonia, nitrate and sulfate.

Discharge Water Permit: The Discharge Water is governed by a state permit renewed every five years. The current permit expired in 1995, and the State and EDC have been negotiating since early 1997 on the issuance of a new permit. EDC and the State agreed to a formal Consent Administrative Order

-13-

(Unaudited)
Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 and 2002

("CAO") in September, 1998, which CAO contained certain deadlines for the completion of activities at the El Dorado Facility pending issuance of a new permit. In June, 2002, a formal amendment to the CAO, executed by The Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality ("ADEQ") and the El Dorado Facility, became effective, which extended the compliance date until three years after the effective date of the renewal permit. The renewal permit was issued by ADEQ containing effluent limits that EDC believed were inappropriately stringent, and which EDC believed it could not meet. That permit was appealed by EDC. The appeal has been resolved through the execution of a Permit Appeal Resolution by ADEQ and EDC. The Permit Appeal Resolution Agreement provides for effluent limits which EDC believes are acceptable. Before a permit can be issued under the Permit Appeal Resolution Agreement, the permit must be drafted by the ADEQ and the permit must be subject to publication and public comment and appeal. We believe that the revised permit issued in conformity with the Permit Appeal Resolution Agreement will require additional expenditures, assuming the City of El Dorado, Arkansas (the "City") builds its own discharge pipeline to a nearby river and we are permitted to tie our pipeline into the City's pipeline, estimated by us to be approximately $3 to 4 million, which would be expended over a period of three years. We don't have any reliable estimates of the cost of an alternative solution in the event that the pipeline is not ultimately built by the City.

In addition, the CAO recognizes the presence of nitrate contamination in the shallow groundwater at the El Dorado Facility and requires EDC to undertake onsite bioremediation. The bioremediation has not proven to be effective, and EDC is currently undertaking a comprehensive evaluation of the shallow groundwater trends in contamination reduction and movement. The Permit Appeal Resolution provides that a new CAO will be executed to address the shallow groundwater contamination and that the new CAO will include an 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. There are no known users of this shallow groundwater in the area. No reserve has been established because the extent of the remediation effort, if any, is not presently know nor estimable.

Drainage of Pond at El Dorado Facility and Investigation: In response to a maintenance emergency and to prevent an uncontrolled release, the equalization pond located at the El Dorado Facility was drained to accommodate repairs to an underground discharge pipe in September 2001. This event began when a weld break developed in the pond's pipe which allowed the release of water to the permitted outfall. It was determined to allow water to be released through the valve into the permitted discharge to avoid erosion of a levy, to permit monitoring and sampling of Discharged Water, and to direct the discharge to the permitted outfall. Although, no adverse environmental conditions were noted at the discharge, the sustained discharge was out of compliance with the mass effluent limits contained in the facility's permit. EDC's environmental compliance manager determined that proper procedure would be to notify ADEQ in the month end report. The ADEQ disagreed and took the position that they should have been notified immediately. EDC and the ADEQ have agreed to a Consent Administrative Order to settle any civil penalty claims relating to this discharge event whereby EDC paid a $50,000 civil penalty to the ADEQ and will spend another $50,000 on supplemental environmental projects.

EDC which owns the El Dorado Facility, and two EDC employees received letters dated April 4, 2002, from the United States Attorney's office in Fort Smith, Arkansas indicating that a criminal charge could be brought against EDC and the two employees as a result of the draining of the equalization pond. The letter further requests that the recipients, through counsel, contact the Assistant United States Attorney ("AUSA"). In discussions with the AUSA, the AUSA suggested that EDC and the individuals settle any claims by pleading to a misdemeanor violation in connection with discharge water permit violations resulting from the release of discharge water from the equalization pond. EDC has declined to plead to the misdemeanor violation as proposed by the AUSA. EDC's counsel is engaging in discussions with the AUSA, the ultimate outcome of which (operationally or financially) cannot presently be determined.

2. Air Matters

From March 2001 through January 2002, the El Dorado Facility experienced alleged air emissions violations. EDC and the ADEQ have been in negotiations regarding applicable penalties for certain of these violations. On July 24, 2002, EDC received a proposed Consent Administrative Order ("Air CAO") with the ADEQ to resolve the above alleged violations. The draft Air CAO provides for a civil penalty of $10,000 and requires EDC to establish a system to monitor air quality at the perimeter of the El Dorado Facility and to submit revised testing protocols for demonstrating compliance at the various emission sources.

As part of ADEQ's investigation of an application filed by EDC for a permit modification relating to the sulfuric acid plant, ADEQ initiated an inquiry regarding historical equipment upgrades and repairs at the sulfuric acid plant, and whether any of those modifications should have been reviewed under the Prevention of Significant Deterioration regulations ("PSD Rules"). ADEQ and EDC have entered into negotiations in an attempt to compromise and resolve a potential dispute as to whether PSD Rules should apply to El Dorado's sulfuric acid plant. These negotiations have resulted in drafting language in the draft Air CAO that would resolve any possible regulatory PSD Rule violations associated with the sulfuric acid plant through the implementation of additional emission controls at that plant. The ADEQ enforcement director who is negotiating this issue has indicated that ADEQ will request that EDC examine over the next six months the technology alternatives to achieve the agreed upon emission reductions. After such six month period, the Air CAO would be finalized by identifying in the Air CAO the selected emission reduction technology. The ultimate cost of any technological changes required cannot presently be determined.

3. Other Environmental Matters

Slurry Explosive Corporation ("SEC") Kansas Department of Environmental Quality ("KDHE"): In April 2002, Slurry Explosive Corporation ("SEC") entered into a Consent Administrative Order ("Slurry Consent Order") with the KDHE, regarding SEC's Hallowell, Kansas manufacturing facility ("Hallowell Facility"). The Slurry Consent Order states that there exists soil and groundwater contamination and there exists surface water contamination in the strip pit adjacent to 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, SEC is required to:

-15-

LSB INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 and 2002

submit an environmental assessment work plan to the KDHE for review and approval,
agree with the KDHE as to any required corrective actions to be performed at the Hallowell Facility, and
to provide reports to the KDHE, all of the preceding in accordance with the time frames and formats required in the Slurry Consent Order.

A draft work plan for site investigation ("Work Plan") was submitted to the KDHE. SEC has received KDHE's approval of the Work Plan, and SEC agreed to expand the sampling to include additional interconnected strip pits. SEC and KDHE jointly conducted sampling of an adjacent strip pit. The results of such sampling indicate elevated levels of nitrate compounds, ammonia and perchlorate. Additional surface water sampling was performed with the results showing little or no contamination in outlying ponds. Soil and ground water samples were recently taken, and those results are currently under review by the state agency. These samples generally indicate the presence of perchlorate. Fish samples from the adjacent pond were tested by the KDHE with the results appearing to indicate a level of contamination below any action levels. The KDHE has also tested cattle samples from a herd that grazes near the Hallowell Facility, the results of which are not yet available. In connection with the ongoing environmental study at the Hallowell Facility, it has recently come to the attention of SEC that a previously unknown underground storage tank may be present at the Hallowell Facility. SEC will perform further investigation as to the presence of such an underground storage tank and the existence of any contamination that may have emanated from such tank. In connection with the sale of substantially all of the operating assets of SEC and Universal Tech Corporation ("UTeC"), subsidiaries of the Company, in December 2002, UTeC leased the Hallowell Facility to the buyer under a triple net long-term lease agreement. However, SEC retained the obligation to be responsible for, and perform the activities under, the Slurry Consent Order. In addition, certain subsidiaries of the Company agreed to indemnify the buyer of such assets for these environmental matters. No reserve has been established because the extent of the remediation, if any, is not presently known or estimable.

License Revocation Order As To SEC and Grand Jury Subpoenas: In February 2002, due to certain alleged violations of explosives storage and related regulations, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms ("BATF"), issued an order revoking the manufacturing license of SEC for its Hallowell Facility to produce certain mining products and confiscated certain high explosives inventory. The license revocation order was upheld by an administrative law judge after an administrative trial. In addition, we received grand jury subpoenas from the U.S. Attorney requesting business records of SEC. We have complied with such subpoenas.

Property Damage Lawsuit: On January 17, 2003, the owners of 283 acres of property adjacent to the El Dorado Facility filed suit against EDC alleging property damage. The lawsuit is pending in the United States District Court, Western District of Arkansas, El Dorado Division. The El Dorado Facility utilizes a Discharge Water treatment system which discharges into a creek which passes through that property. The plaintiffs contend that these permitted discharges into the creek have damaged their property, have resulted in fish kills in the creek, and that leakage from EDC's two holding ponds has contaminated the shallow groundwater on the plaintiff's property.

Plaintiffs are pursuing claims under theories of negligence, trespass and nuisance, and are claiming punitive damages.

EDC's Discharge Water contains elevated levels of ammonia and nitrogen. However, monitoring wells around its treatment ponds indicate little, if any, impact on the shallow groundwater. We have put our insurance carrier on notice of this claim. Such insurance has a $.5 million deductible. No reserve has been established because the ultimate outcome is not presently known or estimable.

B. Other Pending or Threatened Litigation

Climate Control Business

The Climate Control Business is involved in several lawsuits and threatened litigation relating to alleged defective air conditioning heating units manufactured by the Climate Control Business, or that the units or systems where not properly designed, which, if adversely determined against the Climate Control Business, could have a substantial adverse impact on the Company's liquidity.

Chemical Business

Supplier of Anhydrous Ammonia: The principal raw material for the production of the Chemical Business' chemical products at the El Dorado Facility is anhydrous ammonia. The Chemical Business has entered into a contract with a supplier of anhydrous ammonia to purchase all or substantially all of its requirements of anhydrous ammonia from the supplier. The Chemical Business and the supplier are involved in a dispute relating to the appropriate pricing formula for the anhydrous ammonia sold to the Chemical Business under the agreement. As a result of the dispute, the Chemical Business sent a letter of default under the agreement to the supplier and, in response, the supplier has asserted that the Chemical Business is not in good faith and, as a result, is in default under the agreement. If pursued, the supplier could attempt to terminate the agreement between the Chemical Business and the supplier based on the alleged default. The parties are attempting to negotiate a settlement of this dispute. Although we don't anticipate an interruption in supplies, in the event that the supplier should discontinue shipping product, the Company would have to make other arrangements possibly at a higher cost.

Other

Zeller Pension Plan: In February, 2000, the Company's board of directors authorized management to proceed with the sale of the automotive business since the automotive business was no longer a "core business" of the Company. In May, 2000 the Company sold substantially all of its assets in its automotive business. After the authorization by the board, but prior to the sale, the automotive business purchased the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Zeller Corporation ("Zeller"). The liabilities of Zeller assumed by the automotive 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 business was contacted by a representative of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") regarding the plan. The Owner has been informed by the PBGC of a possible underfunding of the plan and a possible takeover of the plan by the PBGC. The Owner has

-17-

notified the Company of these events. The Company has not been contacted by the PBGC and is not aware of any specific underfunded amount of the plan. The Company has been advised by ERISA counsel that based upon, current statutory and case law, numerous representations made by the Company and the assumption that the trier of fact determining the Company's obligations with respect to the plan would find that the purpose of the sale of the automotive business did not include an attempt to evade liability for funding the plan, it is unlikely that the Company will have ultimate financial responsibility to the PBGC under ERISA for any underfunding of the plan upon its termination.

C. Other

Long-Term Supply Contract: We have a long-term contract to supply industrial-grade ammonium nitrate to a third party under a cost-plus arrangement. This arrangement provides for cost reimbursement based on our actual cost. At June 30, 2003, we had recognized a net receivable from this customer while the customer claims we have billed an amount in excess of allowable operating costs, the differential of which approximates $.5 million. We intend to vigorously pursue collection of the receivable while denying the customer's claim. At June 30, 2003, we believe this net receivable is fully collectible. However the ultimate outcome of this matter cannot presently be predicted with certainty.

The Company has several contingencies, including those set forth above, that could impact it's liquidity and future operating results in the event that the Company is unsuccessful in defending against the claimants or possible claims.

Note 7: Long-Term Debt Our wholly-owned subsidiary ClimaChem, Inc., ("ClimaChem") and its subsidiaries are parties to a $50 million credit facility (the "Working Capital Revolver Loan") that matures in 2005. Outstanding borrowings under the Working Capital Revolver Loan were $34.2 million as of June 30, 2003 ($27.2 million at December 31, 2002). At June 30, 2003, the amount available for additional borrowing under the Working Capital Revolver Loan was $5.1 million, based on eligible collateral. The Working Capital Revolver Loan accrues interest at a base rate (generally equivalent to the prime rate) plus 2% or LIBOR plus 4.5%. The effective rate at June 30, 2003 was 5.87%.

The Working Capital Revolver Loan required ClimaChem to maintain quarterly earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for ClimaChem and its Climate Control Business on a trailing twelve-month basis, of $13.4 million and $10 million, respectively, measured as of June 30, 2003. ClimaChem and its Climate Control Business's EBITDA (as defined) for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2003 was in excess of the required amounts. The Working Capital Revolver Loan requires ClimaChem to maintain quarterly EBITDA, as defined, for ClimaChem and its Climate Control Business on a trailing twelve-month basis of $13.5 million and $10 million, respectively, measured as of September 30, 2003, and $12.5 million and $10 million, respectively, measured as of December 31, 2003. For the fiscal quarters ending after December 31, 2003, the EBITDA requirement shall be negotiated based on ClimaChem's forecasted financial statements, however, if ClimaChem and the provider of the Working Capital Revolver Loan can not reach an agreement, the EBITDA requirement for ClimaChem shall not be less than $15 million. The Working Capital Revolver Loan also requires ClimaChem to

-18-

achieve an annual fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1 to 1 and limits capital expenditures, as defined, to $11.2 million measured quarterly on a trailing twelve month basis. The Working Capital Revolver Loan requires that ClimaChem's excess availability, as defined, equal an amount not less than $.5 million. It also requires ClimaChem's excess availability, as defined, equal an amount not less than $1.5 million on the date of the periodic interest payments due on its 10-3/4% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2007 (discussed below) and due on certain debt issued pursuant to a financing arrangement (discussed below). The Working Capital Revolver Loan also contains covenants that, among other things, limit the borrowers' 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 of assets, or (f) repurchase ClimaCh em's 10-3/4% Senior Unsecured 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 order to fund the repurchase of Senior Unsecured Notes at a substantial discount to the face value, ClimaChem entered into a Financing Agreement with certain lenders. Pursuant to the terms of the Financing Agreement, the lenders loaned $35 million to ClimaChem (the "Loans"). In December 2002, ClimaChem prepaid $3.5 million of the Loans. The Loans mature on June 30, 2005, and bear interest at 10 1/2% per annum (cash interest), payable quarterly. Additional interest of 5 1/2% is payable either at maturity or upon prepayment.

The financing transaction was accounted for as a debt restructuring in May 2002 and the implied gain relating to this transaction was deferred and all of the future interest payments associated with the Loans has been recognized in long-term debt. All future interest payments on the Loans will be charged against the debt balance presently accrued on the balance sheet. At June 30, 2003, the carrying amount of long-term debt owed the Lenders is $44.7 million which includes $13 million interest due on the Loans through maturity. Of this, interest of $3.4 million is included in current portion of long-term debt at June 30, 2003.

Approximately $1.8 million of the proceeds of the Loans was used to fund a cash collateral account. The cash collateral will be available to ClimaChem at the earlier of (a) the date the Loans are paid in full or (b) November 23, 2003 so long as no default or event of default is then continuing. Therefore the $1.8 million is classified as restricted cash and is included in current assets at June 30, 2003.

The Financing Agreement required ClimaChem to maintain quarterly EBITDA, as defined, for ClimaChem and its Climate Control Business on a trailing twelve-month basis of $13.4 million and $10 million, respectively, measured as of June 30, 2003. ClimaChem and its Climate Control Business's EBITDA, as defined, for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2003 was in excess of the required amounts. The Financing Agreement requires ClimaChem to maintain quarterly EBITDA, as defined, for ClimaChem and its Climate Control Business on a trailing twelve-month basis of the same amounts required under the Working Capital Revolver Loan as discussed above. Additionally, for quarters ending after December 31, 2002, if ClimaChem fails to maintain EBITDA, as defined, on a trailing twelve-month basis of at least $12 million (a "Trigger Event"), then within 210 days of the end of such quarter, ClimaChem shall pay the Lenders an amount equal to 33.3% ($10.6 million as of June 30, 2003) of

-19-

then outstanding principal of the Loans plus interest. However, if ClimaChem maintains EBITDA on a trailing twelve-month basis of at least $12 million as of the end of each of the two quarters immediately following the Trigger Event, then within 210 days of such Trigger Event, ClimaChem shall pay the Lenders an amount equal to 10% ($3.2 million as of June 30, 2003) of then outstanding principal of the Loans plus interest.

The Financing Agreement also requires ClimaChem to achieve an annual fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1 to 1 and limits annual capital expenditures, as defined, to $11.2 million measured quarterly on a trailing twelve-month basis. The Financing Agreement also contains covenants that, among other things, limit ClimaChem's ability to: (a) incur additional indebtedness, (b) incur liens, (c) provide certain guarantees (d) engage in mergers, consolidations or other forms of recapitalization and (e) dispose of assets. The Lenders may, upon an event of default as defined, terminate the Financing Agreement and demand the balance outstanding due and payable in full.

In 1997, ClimaChem completed the sale of its 10-3/4% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2007 (the "Notes"). The Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 10-3/4% payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of ClimaChem and rank equal in right of payment to all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of ClimaChem and its subsidiaries. The Notes are effectively subordinated to all existing and future secured indebtedness of ClimaChem. The outstanding principal balance of the Notes due to unrelated third parties was $18.3 million at June 30, 2003.

ClimaChem owns substantially all of the companies comprising our Chemical and Climate Control Businesses. ClimaChem is a holding company with no significant assets (other than the notes receivable from us), or operations other than its investments in its subsidiaries, and each of its subsidiaries is wholly-owned, directly or indirectly, by ClimaChem. ClimaChem's payment obligations under the Notes are fully, unconditionally and joint and severally guaranteed by all of the existing subsidiaries of ClimaChem, except for El Dorado Nitric Co. and its subsidiaries ("EDNC") ("Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries").

Set forth below is consolidating financial information of ClimaChem's Guarantor Subsidiaries, the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, and ClimaChem.

Note 8: 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 delivery/installation covering defects in materials and workmanship.

Generally, the warranty coverage for the manufactured equipment in the Climate Control Business is limited to eighteen months from the date of delivery or twelve months from the date of installation, whichever is shorter, and to ninety days for spare parts. In most cases, equipment is required to be returned to the factory or its 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 do not make any warranties related to merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose and disclaim and exclude any liability for consequential or incidental damages. In some cases, an extended warranty may be purchased. The above discussion is generally applicable but variations do occur depending upon specific contractual obligations, 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.

The carrying amount of the product warranty obligation is as follows:

2002, our noncash financing activities included the grant of warrants to purchase 595,585 shares of our common stock with a fair value of approximately $2 million in connection with the voluntary debt restructuring as discussed in Note 7.

Note 11: Recently Issued Pronouncements In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46") "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." FIN 46 addresses the consolidation by certain companies of variable interest entities which meet certain characteristics. In January 2003, FIN 46 became effective for variable interest entities created or in which an enterprise obtains an interest after January 31, 2003. FIN 46 is effective for the Company on July 1, 2003 for variable interest entities in which we hold a variable interest acquired before February 1, 2003.

In relation to one of our subsidiaries long-term leverage lease of a nitric acid plant in Baytown, Texas, the Company and its subsidiaries have not provided a residual value guarantee on the value of the equipment and have provided the right of first refusal on the fixed-price purchase option to the party purchasing substantially all of the production from the plant. Further, substantially all of the operating costs are passed along to this party under this contract on a cost-plus arrangement. Accordingly, while we are continuing to study the contractual arrangements involving this entity and the criteria of FIN 46, we do not presently believe we bear the majority of the risk of loss or the majority of the residual returns of this entity. As of June 30, 2003, the remaining obligation under the leveraged lease associated with the plant approximates $55 million.

Prior to 2003, we, through our subsidiaries, entered into a loan agreement where we loaned funds to the parent company of a French manufacturer of HVAC equipment whose product line is compatible with our Climate Control Business in the United States. Under the loan agreement, one of our subsidiaries has the option, which expires June 15, 2005, to exchange its rights under the loan and cash for 100% of the borrower's outstanding common stock. This subsidiary also obtained a security interest in the stock of the French manufacturer to secure its loan. At June 30, 2003, the outstanding note receivable balance, was $2.2 million and is included in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of the date of this report, the Company has not exercised its option.

Based on our current assessment of the parent company and its subsidiary in relation to FIN 46, we may be required to consolidate these entities. At December 31, 2002, the French manufacturer had total assets of approximately $8.4 million and sales and net income of approximately $15.7 million and $.3 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, sales and net income were approximately $6.2 million and $.1 million, respectively.

In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 142 ("SFAS 142"), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" which requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives no longer be amortized but be tested for impairment at least annually. SFAS 142 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2002. Upon adoption of SFAS 142, we recognized $860,000 of negative goodwill as a cumulative effect of accounting change.

Note 12: Liquidity and Management's Plan We are a diversified holding company and, as a result, depend on credit agreements and our ability to obtain funds from our subsidiaries in order to pay our debts and obligations. Our wholly owned subsidiary, ClimaChem through its subsidiaries, owns substantially all of our core businesses consisting of the Chemical and Climate Control Businesses. Historically ClimaChem's primary cash needs have been for operating expenses, working capital and capital expenditures. ClimaChem and its subsidiaries depend on credit agreements with lenders, internally generated cash flows, and secured equipment financing in order to fund their operations and pay their debts and obligations.

ClimaChem is restricted as to the funds that it may transfer to LSB, the non-ClimaChem companies and certain ClimaChem companies under the terms contained in the Financing Agreement and the Working Capital Revolver Loan. Under the terms, ClimaChem is permitted to distribute funds in the form of (a) advances, loans and investments, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $2 million, at any time outstanding, and (b) distribute or pay in the form of dividends and other distributions an aggregate amount not to exceed, during each year, 50% of ClimaChem's consolidated net income for such year (calculated after deducting all other dividends and distributions made by ClimaChem to us during the year). This limitation will not prohibit payment of amounts due under a Services Agreement, Management Agreement and a Tax Sharing Agreement. ClimaChem did not declare and pay a dividend during the six months ended June 30, 2003 and there were no management fees due or paid pursuant to the EBITDA formula in the Management Agreement. At June 30, 2003, ClimaChem owed the Company approximately $9.2 million, exclusive of the $14.8 million due from the Company to ClimaChem in November 2007.

Our ability to maintain an adequate amount of borrowing availability under our existing working capital revolver depends on our ability to comply with the terms and conditions of such agreement, the lenders commitment to making the facility available to us and on the cash flow from operations, the investing activities and required debt service.

We (and our subsidiaries other than ClimaChem) have limited mandatory cash requirements as it relates to debt service and capital expenditures. Principal payments on long-term debt aggregate $1.1 million for the remainder of 2003 while most capital expenditures in the near term are discretionary. Our (and our subsidiaries other than ClimaChem) cash flow is expected to be sufficient to meet these cash flow needs during 2003.

Our Summit Machine Tool Manufacturing Corp. ("Summit") subsidiary that is not a subsidiary of ClimaChem finances its Working Capital requirements through borrowings under a credit facility ("Facility") with a different lender than ClimaChem's lender. The Facility is scheduled to mature on April 1, 2004. The Facility provides a revolving line of credit of $.6 million. We have, for review, a proposal from an interested lender to replace this Facility on terms and conditions which management considers favorable. The proposal is subject to, among other things, the lender completing their due diligence and definitive agreements.

Effective March 25, 2003, we sold common stock and warrants, proceeds of which aggregated $1.6 million. The net proceeds of which were used to reduce debt. See Note 4-Stockholders' Equity.

We continue to actively market our chemical plant located in Pryor, Oklahoma. We do not currently have a contract for the sale of this plant. If this plant is sold, we intend to use the proceeds from the sale to reduce debt.

ClimaChem and its subsidiaries finance their working capital requirements through borrowings under a $50 million asset-based Working Capital Revolver (See Note 7). The Working Capital Revolver matures in 2005 (see paragraph below) and is secured by receivables, inventories and intangibles of all the ClimaChem entities other than El Dorado Nitric Co., and its subsidiaries. The Working Capital Revolver agreement provides for available advances to ClimaChem based upon specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventories, less a $.5 million reserve against such aggregate availability. As of June 30, 2003, borrowings outstanding under the Working Capital Revolver were $34.2 million and the net credit available for additional borrowings was $5.1 million based on eligible collateral. The Working Capital Revolver requires that ClimaChem and its Climate Control Business meet certain financial covenants on a quarterly basis and/or an annual basis as discussed in Note 7. Included in the financial covenants is the requirement to maintain quarterly earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") on a trailing twelve-month basis at specified amounts. ClimaChem and its Climate Control Business exceeded the required EBITDA (as defined) amounts for the twelve months ended June 30, 2003. The required EBITDA amounts for each quarterly measurement date in 2003 were set at amounts based upon management's forecasts in the first quarter of 2003 which are presently considered by management to be achievable. However, actual results may be materially different than our forecasts.

Under a lock-box arrangement pursuant to the Working Capital Revolver, ClimaChem's customers remit payments on their accounts directly to the lender and the lender applies such payments to reduce the debt outstanding under the Working Capital Revolver. ClimaChem may request additional borrowings under the Working Capital Revolver, however, one of several conditions (as determined by the lender) precedent to all additional borrowings is that no "material adverse change" (as defined in the Working Capital Revolver) shall have occurred. This provision in the Working Capital Revolver may allow the lender to terminate additional borrowings by ClimaChem and effectively accelerate the scheduled maturity of the debt under conditions that may not be objectively determinable (the "Subjective Acceleration Clause"). Management does not anticipate that the lender will invoke the Subjective Acceleration Clause. In the event that the lender exercised its rights under the Subjective Acceleration Clause in the Working Capital Revolver and terminated additional borrowings, ClimaChem would have no borrowing availability and its plan to obtain the funds needed to meet its obligations as they become due could include a significant curtailment of its operations. If the proceeds from sales of remaining inventories and collections of accounts receivable of the businesses involved did not provide sufficient funds, ClimaChem could be required to sell other key assets. In this event, ClimaChem would be required to obtain working capital financing from other sources for its remaining businesses. There are no assurances that we would be successful in replacing, on a timely basis, the Working Capital Revolver needed to fund ClimaChem's remaining operations.

Based upon the current outlook for the Chemical Business and the Climate Control Business, management expects to maintain adequate borrowing

availability under the Working Capital Revolver to meet the working capital requirements during 2003. Due to the current high costs for the Chemical Business feedstocks, natural gas and anhydrous ammonia, management expects to continue to utilize the net borrowing availability provided by the Working Capital Revolver at a relatively high level. The current outlook is based upon information currently available and is subject to change based upon changes in economic conditions as well as market pricing of our products and costs of the various raw materials consumed.

In connection with the repurchase of Senior Unsecured Notes in May 2002, ClimaChem entered into a Financing Agreement with certain Lenders (See Note 7). Borrowings under the Financing Agreement are collateralized by Chemical plants in El Dorado, Arkansas and Cherokee, Alabama. The Financing Agreement requires that ClimaChem and its Climate Control Business meet certain financial covenants on a quarterly and/or annual basis as discussed in Note 7. At June 30, 2003, ClimaChem was in compliance with all the financial covenants. For quarters ending after December 31, 2002, if ClimaChem fails to maintain EBITDA (as defined) on a trailing twelve-month basis of at least $12 million (a "Trigger Event"), then within 210 days of the end of such quarter, ClimaChem shall pay the Lenders an amount equal to 33.3% of then outstanding principal of the Loans ($10.6 million at June 30, 2003) plus interest. However, if ClimaChem maintains EBITDA on a trailing twelve-month basis of at least $12 million as of the end of each of the two quarters immediately following the Trigger Event, then within 210 days of such Trigger Event, ClimaChem shall pay the Lenders an amount equal to 10% ($3.2 million as of June 30, 2003) of then outstanding principal of the Loans plus interest. ClimaChem does not expect that a Trigger Event will occur in 2003. In connection with the closing of the Financing Agreement, the lenders thereunder entered into an Inter-Creditor Agreement with ClimaChem's Working Capital Revolver lenders. The Working Capital Revolver agreement and the Financing Agreement contain cross-default provisions. If the Trigger Event occurs and/or ClimaChem fails to meet the other financial covenants of the Financing Agreement, the lender may declare an event of default, making all or a portion of 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, ClimaChem could be required to curtail operations and/or sell key assets as discussed above. These actions could result in the recognition of losses that may be material.

In order to supplement the Working Capital Revolver and the internally generated funds as sources to meet capital requirements, management is currently in discussions with lenders to obtain long-term financing on certain chemical plants. If consummated, the loan proceeds will be used to pay down the Senior Secured Notes and reduce Working Capital Revolver debt. During February 2003, we engaged an investment banker to assist us, on a best effort basis, in arranging financing of the concentrated nitric acid plant on which debt was paid off in 2002. As of the date of this report, the investment banker has not developed a definitive loan proposal for Management's review. Management is also attempting to secure long-term financing of its Cherokee Nitrogen Plant in Cherokee, Alabama. This plant is currently pledged as part of the collateral for ClimaChem's debt under the Financing Agreement. If this plant is financed, it is anticipated that approximately half of the net proceeds would be used to pay down the Senior Secured Notes and the other half would be used as working capital.

As discussed in Note 7, approximately $1.8 million of the proceeds from the funding under the Financing Agreement was used to fund a cash collateral account. We intend to use this $1.8 million as working capital upon release of the funds to us on November 23, 2003, or sooner per the discussions in Note 7.

Due to the Company and ClimaChem's previous operating losses and limited borrowing ability under the credit facility then in effect, we discontinued payment of cash dividends on Common Stock for periods subsequent to January 1, 1999, until the Board of Directors determines otherwise. As of June 30, 2003, we have not paid the regular quarterly dividend of $.8125 on the outstanding $3.25 Convertible Exchangeable Class C Preferred Stock Series 2 ("Series 2 Preferred") since June 15, 1999, resulting in approximately $8.1 million in total accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series 2 Preferred. We also did not declare and pay the regular annual dividend of $12.00 on the Series B Preferred since 1999, resulting in $.8 million in accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred. In addition, we did not declare and pay the 6% per annum cumulative dividend payable in arrears on the Series D preferred resulting in $.1 million in accrued and unpaid dividends. We do not anticipate having funds available to pay dividends on our stock for the foreseeable future.

Our net cash used by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $3.7 million. Cash used by investing activities included $3.8 million for capital expenditures primarily in the Chemical Business, Approximately $1.2 million of this was not planned but required the replacement of a compressor at the Cherokee, Alabama facility. Cash provided by financing activities included a net increase in revolving debt of $6.9 million (primarily to support the increase in accounts receivable), long-term borrowings of $1.9 million and proceeds from the issuance of common stock and warrants of $1.6 million offset, in part, by payments on debt of $4 million. As of June 30, 2003, ClimaChem had cash and borrowing availability under the Working Capital Revolver of $5.4 million compared to $7.9 million at December 31, 2002. We continue to pursue other sources of working capital to ensure adequate liquidity as discussed above.

For the periods covered by this report, the Climate Control Business has consistently generated a positive cash flow and conversely the Chemical Business has generated a negative cash flow. Approximately 54% of the Chemical Business' sales volume is sold under sales contracts in which the sales price is adjusted for changes in raw material costs. The balance of the sales volume primarily is agricultural nitrogen fertilizer delivered into our freight logical geographical markets at spot prices.

The negative cash flow in the Chemical Business for the six months ended June 30, 2003 is a result of the operating losses in the agricultural nitrogen business of the El Dorado, Arkansas and Cherokee, Alabama plants, seasonal increase in accounts receivable, replacement of a compressor at the Cherokee facility and costs related to the mechanical failure of the sulfuric acid plant at the El Dorado facility. Losses in the agricultural nitrogen business have resulted from the selling prices compared to the cost of the raw material feedstocks: natural gas and anhydrous ammonia. This imbalance of selling prices has been due primarily to an oversupply in the market of agricultural nitrogen products of the kind we produce and the inability to

Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 and 2002

pass through the full natural gas and ammonia cost increases when they occur. The feedstocks of natural gas and ammonia have historically experienced significant price volatility. Currently, both are significantly higher compared to the same period last year. In addition to this problem, sales of agricultural nitrogen products were adversely affected during the quarter ended June 30, 2003 by adverse weather conditions in our market area. The results of those problems had a negative effect on the available working capital, as discussed above.

During the first six months of 2003, our El Dorado facility experienced multiple instances where the sulfuric acid plant was shut down for mechanical failures. As a result of this extended down-time, we estimate that the Chemical Business' income from operations for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2003 was adversely impacted by approximately $.6 million and $.3 million, respectively. Certain components of the plant were repaired and/or replaced, at an aggregate cost of approximately $.7 million and the plant was returned to service. However, to improve the reliability of the plant and to guard against a recurrence of this problem, we plan to install certain new equipment at an estimated installed cost of approximately $1.1 million during the fourth quarter 2003. Installation will ultimately be determined by the plants' operational reliability.

We have a long-term contract to supply industrial-grade ammonium nitrate to a third party under a cost-plus arrangement. This arrangement provides for cost reimbursement based on our actual cost. At June 30, 2003, we had recognized a net receivable from this customer while the customer claims we have billed an amount in excess of allowable operating costs, the differential of which approximates $.5 million. We intend to vigorously pursue collection of the receivable while denying the customer's claim. At June 30, 2003, we believe this net receivable is fully collectible. However the ultimate outcome of this matter cannot presently be predicted with certainty.

We recently hired a new president for the El Dorado Chemical Company ("EDC") subsidiary whose primary facilities are located in El Dorado, Arkansas and Cherokee, Alabama. We are in the process of evaluating the product lines of these operations for profitability consistent with management's goal to reduce the negative impact that changing prices of natural gas and anhydrous ammonia have on our sales and operating results. Management's plan for 2003 for EDC anticipates that the industrial-grade products of El Dorado Chemical and Cherokee Nitrogen that are sold pursuant to long-term cost-plus agreements will continue in 2003 at or about the same volume levels as in 2002. El Dorado's and Cherokee's 2003 production levels for nitrogen products sold as fertilizers into the agricultural markets will approximate the 2002 volume levels but the sales as expressed in dollars will be higher due to correspondingly higher unit sales prices. Due to the volatility of sales prices and the costs of feedstocks, anhydrous ammonia and natural gas, it is difficult to predict whether or not the sales of nitrogen products sold as fertilizer into the agricultural markets will be profitable for 2003; however, we believe we can make certain changes that will help improve the operating results of the Chemical Business.

The Climate Control Business' core product lines are hydronic fan coils and water source heat pumps. These core product lines have been very stable and the Climate Control Business has consistently managed to report increased

earnings. As a result, we have been able to satisfy the various financial loan covenants. During the first six months of 2003 Climate Control's order level in its' core product lines has been down approximately 5% from the calendar year 2002 level (8% from the first six months of 2002). The lower sales order level is due to lower industry wide construction starts, primarily in the lodging sector. At June 30, 2003, backlogs in the core product lines are approximately the same as at December 31, 2002. Included in Climate Control's operating results are three start-up product lines and/or services that have adversely affected operating results in recent periods. Although we don't expect these new product lines to reach positive results in 2003, there is the expectation that the results will improve and begin to approach a breakeven towards the end of 2003.

The planned capital expenditures for the remainder of 2003 are approximately $5 million. If the Discharge Water permit for the El Dorado facility is approved, it is currently expected to require capital expenditures of approximately $3 to $4 million, at the El Dorado facility, over the next 3 years. This assumes that the Discharge Water permit is corrected, the City of El Dorado, Arkansas (the "City") builds its own discharge pipeline to a nearby river and we are permitted to tie our pipeline into the City's pipeline. Management is continuing to review the design and configurations of treatment and discharge facilities to address the permitting issues. Also as discussed in Note 6, there will be certain expenditures required to bring the sulfuric acid plant's air emissions into acceptable limits. The design of additional emission controls at this plant is underway. At this point, the capital expenditures to achieve the required emission level are undeterminable involving the El Dorado facility. These projects are not expected to require funding until 2004 and beyond. Capital expenditures are dependent upon an adequate amount of liquidity and/or obtaining acceptable funding.

While we do not anticipate a material adverse result from the resolution of outstanding contingencies as discussed in Note 6, such a result would have an impact on our liquidity and future operating results.

Although the volatility of the Chemical Business is such that the forecasted results can fluctuate significantly, our cash flow forecasts indicate that there will be sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations as they come due in the near term. However, actual results may be materially different than our forecasts. Longer term liquidity is dependent upon new financing on the Chemical plants or facilities or improvement in the general Chemical Business operating environment.

Item 2.

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 our June 30, 2003 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Certain statements contained in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" may be deemed forward-looking statements. See "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements".

Critical Accounting Policies

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 contingent liabilities. See our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 for an expanded discussion on the more significant areas of financial reporting impacted by management's judgment, estimates and assumptions. Significant areas of financial reporting impacted by management's judgment, estimates and assumptions include the following:

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets including Goodwill - We have considered impairment of our long-lived assets and goodwill related to our Chemical operations as a result of unfavorable operating results over the last several years. We have made estimates of the fair values associated with the El Dorado Facility and the Cherokee Facility. These estimates include third party appraisals for certain of the assets and internal estimates for others. Should these estimates of fair values change in future periods based on changes in the business environment from our expectations of the Chemical Business or our estimate of the cost to comply with the new Discharge Water Permit, a portion of our net carrying cost may be impaired. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Contingencies - Discharge Water Permit for El Dorado, Arkansas Plant."

Compliance with Long-Term Debt Covenants - As fully discussed in "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Loan Agreements - Terms and Conditions" and Note 7 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Financing Agreement and Working Capital Revolver Loan as amended, of ClimaChem and its subsidiaries require that ClimaChem meet certain lender defined earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and capital expenditure limitation amounts quarterly, on a trailing twelve-month basis and annually achieve a specified fixed charge coverage rate.

The Financing Agreement requires that if ClimaChem fails to maintain EBITDA, as defined, on a trailing twelve-month basis of at least $12 million (a "Trigger Event"), then within 210 days of the end of such quarter, ClimaChem shall pay the Lenders an amount equal to 33.3% ($10.6 million as of June 30, 2003) of then outstanding principal of the Loans plus interest. However, if ClimaChem maintains EBITDA on a trailing twelve-month basis of at least $12 million as of the end of each of the two quarters immediately following the Trigger Event, then within 210 days of such Trigger Event, ClimaChem shall pay the Lenders an amount equal to 10% ($3.2 million as of June 30, 2003) of then outstanding principal of the Loans plus interest.

-37-

In addition, the Working Capital Revolver Loan contains "a material adverse change in operating results or financial condition" provision which is construed to be a subjective acceleration clause. Our ability to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities is dependent upon, among other things, the lender not exercising its rights under the subjective acceleration clause and our ability to successfully meet the EBITDA covenant for 2003 and beyond. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Source of Funds and Loan Agreements - Terms and Conditions."

Environmental and Regulatory Compliance - 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 continually monitor whether we have maintained compliance with such laws and regulations and the operating and financial implications thereof. We believe we will be successful in addressing the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality ("ADEQ") Discharge Water Permit through various site modification projects currently underway and other projects acceptable to the ADEQ. Our appeal of a renewal permit has been resolved through the execution of a Permit Appeal Resolution by ADEQ and EDC. The Permit Appeal Resolution Agreement provides for effluent limits which EDC believes are acceptable. Before a permit can be issued under the Permit Appeal Resolution Agreement, the permit must be drafted by the ADEQ and the permit must be subject to publication and public comment and appeal. We believe that the revised permit issued in conformity with the Permit Appeal Resolution Agreement will require additional expenditures, assuming the City of El Dorado, Arkansas (the "City") builds its own discharge pipeline to a nearby river and we are permitted to tie our pipeline into the City's pipeline, estimated by us to be approximately $3 to 4 million, which would be expended over a period of three years. We don't have any reliable estimates of the cost of an alternative solution in the event that the pipeline is not ultimately built by the City. See Note 6 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Contingencies - 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 could create an event of default under ClimaChem's Working Capital Revolver Loan and the Financing Agreement and could adversely impact our liquidity and capital resources. See Note 6 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

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.

Overview

Chemical Business

Our Chemical Business manufactures three principal product lines that are derived from natural gas and anhydrous ammonia: (1) fertilizer grade ammonium nitrate and urea ammonium nitrate for the agricultural industry, (2) industrial grade ammonium nitrate and solutions for the mining industry and (3) concentrated, blended and regular nitric acid and metallurgical grade ammonia for industrial applications. In addition, we also produce sulfuric acid for the paper industry.

-38-

Anhydrous ammonia and natural gas represent the primary raw materials in the production of most of the products of our Chemical Business. Under an agreement, EDC will purchase 100% of its requirements of purchased ammonia pursuant to a formula-based market price plus transportation to the El Dorado Facility through December 31, 2004. The Chemical Business' natural gas feedstock requirements are purchased at spot market price for delivery to the Cherokee, Alabama Facility.

As discussed in Note 6 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the principal raw material for the production of the Chemical Business' chemical products at the El Dorado Facility is anhydrous ammonia. The Chemical Business has entered into a contract with a supplier of anhydrous ammonia to purchase all or substantially all of its requirements of anhydrous ammonia from the supplier. The Chemical Business and the supplier are involved in a dispute relating to the appropriate pricing formula for the anhydrous ammonia sold to the Chemical Business under the agreement. As a result of the dispute, the Chemical Business sent a letter of default under the agreement to the supplier and, in response, the supplier has asserted that the Chemical Business is not in good faith and, as a result, is in default under the agreement. If pursued, the supplier could attempt to terminate the agreement between the Chemical Business and the supplier based on the alleged default. The parties are attempting to negotiate a settlement of this dispute. Although we don't anticipate an interruption in supplies, in the event that the supplier should discontinue shipping product, the Company would have to make other arrangements possibly at a higher cost.

In December 2002, the Company sold the operating assets of its indirect subsidiaries, SEC and UTeC. SEC and UTeC were in the packaged explosives business, which was not considered by the Company to be a core business in its Chemical Business. The results of operations for SEC and UTeC for the six and three months ended June 30, 2002 are classified as discontinued operations in this report.

Climate Control

Our Climate Control Business manufactures and sells a broad range of hydronic fan coil, water source and geothermal heat pumps, air handling, air conditioning, heating, and dehumidification products targeted to both commercial and residential new building construction and renovation.

Our Climate Control Business focuses on product lines in the specific niche markets of hydronic fan coils and water source heat pumps and has established a significant market share in these specific markets.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Climate Control Business' core product lines are hydronic fan coils and water source heat pumps. These core product lines have been very stable and the Climate Control Business has consistently managed to report increased earnings. During the first six months of 2003 Climate Control's order level in its' core product lines has been down approximately 5% from the calendar year 2002 level (8% from the first six months of 2002). The lower sales order level is due to lower industry wide construction starts, primarily in the lodging sector. At June 30, 2003, backlogs in the core product lines are approximately the same as at December 31, 2002.

-39-

Included in Climate Control's operating results are three start-up product lines and/or services that have adversely affected operating results in recent periods. Although we don't expect these new product lines to reach positive results in 2003, there is the expectation that the results will improve and begin to approach a breakeven towards the end of 2003.

Chemical Business' results through the first six months of 2003 were adversely affected by increasing costs of the basic raw material feedstocks, natural gas and anhydrous ammonia. The purchase cost of both increased substantially compared to 2002. The market prices of the Chemical Business' agricultural nitrogen products during the spring fertilizer season did not increase sufficiently to recover the full amount of the higher raw material costs. However, approximately 54% of the Chemical Business sales volume of manufactured products are non-agricultural and are tied to sales contracts that allow the full pass through of the ammonia and gas feedstock costs.

Six months ended June 30, 2003 vs. Six months ended June 30, 2002.

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $161.5 million compared to $148.8 million for the same period in 2002 or an increase of $12.7 million. The increase in sales is primarily attributed to increased sales in our Chemical Business of $21.8 million. An overall increase of 3% in Chemical Business volume, was due in part, to the effect of the business interruption at the El Dorado chemical plant during the second quarter of 2002. An overall increase in sales prices of 23.2% in 2003, caused primarily by the increased cost of the raw material feedstock, as discussed below, also increased sales. The increased cost of the raw material feedstock is substantially reflected in the higher cost of sales. This increase was partially offset by decreased sales of $9.2 million in our Climate Control Business resulting from the completion and winding down of a number of specific geothermal product based construction contracts as well as a general reduction in sales volume in other Climate Control operations, due in part, to a general softening in demand from the markets we serve such as the lodging sector.

Gross Profit

Gross profit was $22.1 million or 13.7% as a percentage of net sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, compared to $25.4 million or 17.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in the gross profit percentage was primarily the result of the increased costs of our primary raw material feedstocks, natural gas and anhydrous ammonia, used in our Chemical Business which could not be passed on to the customers in the form of higher sales prices.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $20.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $21 million for the first six months of 2002. This decrease is primarily the result of efforts to reduce expenses.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $2.8 million for the first six months of 2003 compared to $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease of $2.1

-40-

million primarily resulted from the elimination of interest expense recognition on the Financing Agreement indebtedness, since that transaction for the repurchase of Senior Unsecured Notes was accounted for as a voluntary debt restructuring during the second quarter of 2002 and at that time all future interest payments associated with the Financing Agreement indebtedness was recognized in long-term debt.

Income From Continuing Operations before Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change

As a result of the items discussed above, we had income from continuing operations before cumulative effect of accounting change of $.7 million for each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

Loss From Discontinued Operations

As discussed in Note 9 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in December 2002, the operating assets of SEC and UTeC were sold which operations are reflected as discontinued operations. These operations were formerly included in the Chemical Business. Operating results of the discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2002 included net sales of $5.5 million and a net loss of $2.5 million.

Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change

Upon adoption of Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" on January 1, 2002, we recognized the write-off of $.9 million of negative goodwill as a cumulative effect of accounting change for 2002. See Note 11 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Three months ended June 30, 2003 vs. Three months ended June 30, 2002.

Net Sales

Net sales for the three-month period ended June 30, 2003 were $90 million compared to $80.9 million for the same period in 2002 or an increase of $9.1 million. The increase in sales is primarily attributed to increased sales in our Chemical Business of $14.3 million. The overall increase resulted from an increase in volume of 6.6% in the Chemical Business, due in part, to the effect of the business interruption at the El Dorado chemical plant during the second quarter of 2002. An overall increase in sales prices of 29.3%, due primarily to the increased cost of the raw material feedstock, as discussed below also increased sales. This increase was partially offset by decreased sales of $5.2 million in our Climate Control Business resulting from the completion and winding down of a number of specific geothermal product based construction contracts as well as a general reduction in sales volume in other Climate Control operations, due in part, to a general softening in demand from the markets we serve such as th e lodging sector.

Gross Profit

Gross profit was $13.2 million or 14.7% as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared to $13.4 million or 16.6% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2002. The decrease in the gross profit percentage was primarily the result of the increased costs of our primary raw material feedstocks, natural gas and anhydrous ammonia, used in our Chemical

Business which could not be passed on to the customers in the form of higher prices.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $10.5 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2003, compared to $11.2 million for the same three months of 2002. This decrease is primarily the result of our efforts to reduce expenses.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003 compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The decrease of $.7 million primarily resulted from the elimination of interest expense recognition on the Financing Agreement indebtedness, since that transaction for the repurchase of Senior Unsecured Notes was accounted for as a voluntary debt restructuring during the second quarter of 2002 and at that time all future interest payments associated with the Financing Agreement indebtedness was recognized in long-term debt.

Income From Continuing Operations

As a result of the items discussed above, we had income from continuing operations of $2.6 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2003 compared to $.8 million for the same period in 2002.

Loss From Discontinued Operations

As discussed in Note 9 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in December 2002, the operating assets of SEC and UTeC were sold which operations are reflected as discontinued operations. These operations were formerly included in the Chemical Business. Operating results of the discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2002 included net sales of $2.3 million and a net loss of $1.4 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flow From Operations

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 equipment financing and the sale of assets. See additional discussion concerning cash flows from the Chemical and Climate Control Businesses in "Source of Funds".

Net cash used by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $3.7 million resulting primarily from the increase in accounts receivable and the decrease in accounts payable offset, in part, by a decrease in inventories, supplies and prepaid items. The increase in receivables is primarily due to the increase in sales in relation to the fourth quarter of 2002. The decrease in accounts payable is due, in part, to the payments of certain property taxes and the decrease in amounts owed vendors since the spring fertilizer season has ended in the Chemical Business. The decrease in inventories relates primarily to agricultural products sold during the spring fertilizing season in the Chemical Business. The decrease in supplies and

-42-

prepaid items includes the decrease in prepaid supplies used in the maintenance of our chemical plants.

Cash Flow From Investing and Financing Activities

Net cash used by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 included $3.8 million for capital expenditures primarily for the benefit of the Chemical Business.

Net cash provided by financing activities included a net increase in revolving debt of $6.9 million, long-term and other borrowings of $1.9 million and proceeds from the issuance of common stock of $1.6 million partially offset by payments on long-term and other debt of $4.1 million.

Effective March 25, 2003, we completed a private placement to Jayhawk Institutional Partners, L.P. ("Jayhawk") of 450,000 shares of our common stock and a five year warrant to purchase up to 112,500 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $3.49 per share, subject to anti-dilution adjustments under certain conditions. The total price paid by Jayhawk to us for the shares of common stock and the warrant was $1.6 million. The proceeds were used to reduce debt. The average closing price of our common stock over the 30-day period prior to the transaction was $3.49. Jayhawk has certain registration rights. Prior to the completion of this transaction and based on information provided to us by Jayhawk, Jayhawk and its affiliates beneficially owned 798,500 shares of our common stock and 323,650 shares of our $3.25 convertible exchangeable class C preferred stock ("$3.25 Preferred"). The shares of $3.25 Preferred beneficially owned by Jayhawk and its affiliates are convertible into 1,401,081 shares of our common stock.

Obligations and Commitments

In the operation of our businesses, we enter into contracts, leases and borrowing arrangements. In connection with a series of agreements with Bayer Corporation ("Bayer") to supply nitric acid with a provision for pass through of production costs with certain performance obligations on our part, a subsidiary of ClimaChem entered into a 10 year leveraged lease ("Baytown Lease") in June 1999 that requires minimum future net lease rentals of approximately $55 million at June 30, 2003. The lease payments are includable costs in these agreements. These lease rentals are made monthly on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreements, typically with one annual payment representing a majority of the amount due for the year. The annual payment for 2003, approximately $5 million due in December 2003, has been considered in evaluating our liquidity. Our ability to perform on this lease commitment is contingent upon Bayer's performance under the related purchase agreement and our liquidity.

Our commitments and obligations as of June 30, 2003, are summarized in the following table. See discussion below in "Loan Agreements - Terms and Conditions" and Note 7 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Working Capital Revolver Loan is not due by its terms until April 2005; however, the underlying agreement contains "a material adverse change in operating results or financial condition" provision which is construed to be a subjective acceleration clause. Therefore, the Loan is classified as due within one year at June 30, 2003 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

-44-

Source of Funds

We are a diversified holding company and, as a result, depend on credit agreements and our ability to obtain funds from our subsidiaries in order to pay our debts and obligations. Our wholly owned subsidiary, ClimaChem through its subsidiaries, owns substantially all of our core businesses consisting of the Chemical and Climate Control Businesses. Historically ClimaChem's primary cash needs have been for operating expenses, working capital and capital expenditures. ClimaChem and its subsidiaries depend on credit agreements with lenders, internally generated cash flows, and secured equipment financing in order to fund their operations and pay their debts and obligations.

ClimaChem is restricted as to the funds that it may transfer to LSB, the non-ClimaChem companies and certain ClimaChem companies under the terms contained in the Financing Agreement and the Working Capital Revolver Loan. Under the terms, ClimaChem is permitted to distribute funds in the form of (a) advances, loans and investments, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $2 million, at any time outstanding, and (b) distribute or pay in the form of dividends and other distributions an aggregate amount not to exceed, during each year, 50% of ClimaChem's consolidated net income for such year (calculated after deducting all other dividends and distributions made by ClimaChem to us during the year). This limitation will not prohibit payment of amounts due under a Services Agreement, Management Agreement and a Tax Sharing Agreement. ClimaChem did not declare and pay a dividend during the six months ended June 30, 2003 and there were no management fees due or paid pursuant to the EBITDA formula in the Management Agreement. At June 30, 2003, ClimaChem owed the Company approximately $9.2 million, exclusive of the $14.8 million due from the Company to ClimaChem in November 2007.

Our ability to maintain an adequate amount of borrowing availability under our existing working capital revolver depends on our ability to comply with the terms and conditions of such agreement, the lenders commitment to making the facility available to us and on the cash flow from operations, the investing activities and required debt service.

We (and our subsidiaries other than ClimaChem) have limited mandatory cash requirements as it relates to debt service and capital expenditures. Principal payments on long-term debt aggregate $1.1 million for the remainder of 2003 while most capital expenditures in the near term are discretionary. Our (and our subsidiaries other than ClimaChem) cash flow is expected to be sufficient to meet these cash flow needs during 2003.

Our Summit Machine Tool Manufacturing Corp. ("Summit") subsidiary that is not a subsidiary of ClimaChem finances its Working Capital requirements through borrowings under a credit facility ("Facility") with a different lender than ClimaChem's lender. The Facility is scheduled to mature on April 1, 2004. The Facility provides a revolving line of credit of $.6 million. We have, for review, a proposal from an interested lender to replace this Facility on terms and conditions which management considers favorable. The proposal is subject to, among other things, the lender completing their due diligence and definitive agreements.

As discussed above, effective March 25, 2003, we sold common stock and warrants, proceeds of which aggregated $1.6 million. The net proceeds of which were used to reduce debt. See Note 4 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

We continue to actively market our chemical plant located in Pryor, Oklahoma. We do not currently have a contract for the sale of this plant. If this plant is sold, we intend to use the proceeds from the sale to reduce debt.

ClimaChem and its subsidiaries finance their working capital requirements through borrowings under a $50 million asset-based Working Capital Revolver (See Note 7 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The Working Capital Revolver matures in 2005 (see paragraph below) and is secured by receivables, inventories and intangibles of all the ClimaChem entities other than El Dorado Nitric Co., and its subsidiaries. The Working Capital Revolver agreement provides for available advances to ClimaChem based upon specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventories, less a $.5 million reserve against such aggregate availability. As of June 30, 2003, borrowings outstanding under the Working Capital Revolver were $34.2 million and the net credit available for additional borrowings was $5.1 million based on eligible collateral. The Working Capital Revolver requires that ClimaChem and its Climate Control Business meet certain financial covenants on a quarterly basis and/or an annual basis as discussed in Note 7. Included in the financial covenants is the requirement to maintain quarterly earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") on a trailing twelve-month basis at specified amounts. ClimaChem and its Climate Control Business exceeded the required EBITDA (as defined) amounts for the twelve months ended June 30, 2003. The required EBITDA amounts for each quarterly measurement date in 2003 were set at amounts based upon management's forecasts in the first quarter of 2003 which are presently considered by management to be achievable. However, actual results may be materially different than our forecasts.

Under a lock-box arrangement pursuant to the Working Capital Revolver, ClimaChem's customers remit payments on their accounts directly to the lender and the lender applies such payments to reduce the debt outstanding under the Working Capital Revolver. ClimaChem may request additional borrowings under the Working Capital Revolver, however, one of several conditions (as determined by the lender) precedent to all additional borrowings is that no "material adverse change" (as defined in the Working Capital Revolver) shall have occurred. This provision in the Working Capital Revolver may allow the lender to terminate additional borrowings by ClimaChem and effectively accelerate the scheduled maturity of the debt under conditions that may not be objectively determinable (the "Subjective Acceleration Clause"). Management does not anticipate that the lender will invoke the Subjective Acceleration Clause. In the event that the lender exercised its rights under the Subjective Acceleration Clause in the Working Capital Revolver and terminated additional borrowings, ClimaChem would have no borrowing availability and its plan to obtain the funds needed to meet its obligations as they become due could include a significant curtailment of its operations. If the proceeds from sales of remaining inventories and collections of accounts receivable of the businesses involved did not provide sufficient funds, ClimaChem could be required to sell other key assets. In this event, ClimaChem would be required to obtain working capital financing from other sources for its remaining businesses. There are no assurances that we would be successful in replacing, on a timely basis, the Working Capital Revolver needed to fund ClimaChem's remaining operations.

Based upon the current outlook for the Chemical Business and the Climate Control Business, management expects to maintain adequate borrowing availability under the Working Capital Revolver to meet the working capital

-46-

requirements during 2003. Due to the current high costs for the Chemical Business feedstocks, natural gas and anhydrous ammonia, management expects to continue to utilize the net borrowing availability provided by the Working Capital Revolver at a relatively high level. The current outlook is based upon information currently available and is subject to change based upon changes in economic conditions as well as market pricing of our products and costs of the various raw materials consumed.

In connection with the repurchase of Senior Unsecured Notes in May 2002, ClimaChem entered into a Financing Agreement with certain Lenders (See Note 7 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). Borrowings under the Financing Agreement are collateralized by Chemical plants in El Dorado, Arkansas and Cherokee, Alabama. The Financing Agreement requires that ClimaChem and its Climate Control Business meet certain financial covenants on a quarterly and/or annual basis as discussed in Note 7. At June 30, 2003, ClimaChem was in compliance with all the financial covenants. For quarters ending after December 31, 2002, if ClimaChem fails to maintain EBITDA (as defined) on a trailing twelve-month basis of at least $12 million (a "Trigger Event"), then within 210 days of the end of such quarter, ClimaChem shall pay the Lenders an amount equal to 33.3% of then outstanding principal of the Loans ($10.6 million at June 30, 2003) plus interest. However, if ClimaChem maintains EBITDA on a trailing twelve-month basis of at least $12 million as of the end of each of the two quarters immediately following the Trigger Event, then within 210 days of such Trigger Event, ClimaChem shall pay the Lenders an amount equal to 10% ($3.2 million as of June 30, 2003) of then outstanding principal of the Loans plus interest. ClimaChem does not expect that a Trigger Event will occur in 2003. In connection with the closing of the Financing Agreement, the lenders thereunder entered into an Inter-Creditor Agreement with ClimaChem's Working Capital Revolver lenders. The Working Capital Revolver agreement and the Financing Agreement contain cross-default provisions. If the Trigger Event occurs and/or ClimaChem fails to meet the other financial covenants of the Financing Agreement, the lender may declare an event of default, making all or a portion of 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, ClimaChem could be required to curtail operations and/or sell key assets as discussed above. These actions could result in the recognition of losses that may be material.

In order to supplement the Working Capital Revolver and the internally generated funds as sources to meet capital requirements, management is currently in discussions with lenders to obtain long-term financing on certain chemical plants. If consummated, the loan proceeds will be used to pay down the Senior Secured Notes and reduce Working Capital Revolver debt. During February 2003, we engaged an investment banker to assist us, on a best effort basis, in arranging financing of the concentrated nitric acid plant on which debt was paid off in 2002. As of the date of this report, the investment banker has not developed a definitive loan proposal for Management's review. Management is also attempting to secure long-term financing of its Cherokee Nitrogen Plant in Cherokee, Alabama. This plant is currently pledged as part of the collateral for ClimaChem's debt under the Financing Agreement. If this plant is financed, it is anticipated that approximately half of the net proceeds would be used to pay down the Senior Secured Notes and the other half would be used as working capital.

As discussed in Note 7 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, approximately $1.8 million of the proceeds from the funding under

-47-

the Financing Agreement was used to fund a cash collateral account. We intend to use this $1.8 million as working capital upon release of the funds to us on November 23, 2003, or sooner per the discussions in Note 7.

Due to the Company and ClimaChem's previous operating losses and limited borrowing ability under the credit facility then in effect, we discontinued payment of cash dividends on Common Stock for periods subsequent to January 1, 1999, until the Board of Directors determines otherwise. As of June 30, 2003, we have not paid the regular quarterly dividend of $.8125 on the outstanding $3.25 Convertible Exchangeable Class C Preferred Stock Series 2 ("Series 2 Preferred") since June 15, 1999, resulting in approximately $8.1 million in total accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series 2 Preferred. We also did not declare and pay the regular annual dividend of $12.00 on the Series B Preferred since 1999, resulting in $.8 million in accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred. In addition, we did not declare and pay the 6% per annum cumulative dividend payable in arrears on the Series D preferred resulting in $.1 million in accrued and unpaid dividends. We do not anticipate having funds available to pay dividends on our stock for the foreseeable future.

Our net cash used by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $3.7 million. Cash used by investing activities included $3.8 million for capital expenditures primarily in the Chemical Business, Approximately $1.2 million of this was not planned but required the replacement of a compressor at the Cherokee, Alabama facility. Cash provided by financing activities included a net increase in revolving debt of $6.9 million (primarily to support the increase in accounts receivable), long-term borrowings of $1.9 million and proceeds from the issuance of common stock and warrants of $1.6 million offset, in part, by payments on debt of $4 million. As of June 30, 2003, ClimaChem had cash and borrowing availability under the Working Capital Revolver of $5.4 million compared to $7.9 million at December 31, 2002. We continue to pursue other sources of working capital to ensure adequate liquidity as discussed above.

For the periods covered by this report, the Climate Control Business has consistently generated a positive cash flow and conversely the Chemical Business has generated a negative cash flow. Approximately 54% of the Chemical Business' sales volume is sold under sales contracts in which the sales price is adjusted for changes in raw material costs. The balance of the sales volume primarily is agricultural nitrogen fertilizer delivered into our freight logical geographical markets at spot prices.

The negative cash flow in the Chemical Business for the six months ended June 30, 2003 is a result of the operating losses in the agricultural nitrogen business of the El Dorado, Arkansas and Cherokee, Alabama plants, seasonal increase in accounts receivable, replacement of a compressor at the Cherokee facility and costs related to the mechanical failure of the sulfuric acid plant at the El Dorado facility. Losses in the agricultural nitrogen business have resulted from the selling prices compared to the cost of the raw material feedstocks: natural gas and anhydrous ammonia. This imbalance of selling prices has been due primarily to an oversupply in the market of agricultural nitrogen products of the kind we produce and the inability to pass through the full natural gas and ammonia cost increases when they occur. The feedstocks of natural gas and ammonia have historically experienced significant price volatility. Currently, both are significantly higher compared to the same period last year. In addition to this problem, sales of agricultural nitrogen products were adversely affected during the quarter

-48-

ended June 30, 2003 by adverse weather conditions in our market area. The results of those problems had a negative effect on the available working capital, as discussed above.

During the first six months of 2003, our El Dorado facility experienced multiple instances where the sulfuric acid plant was shut down for mechanical failures. As a result of this extended down-time, we estimate that the Chemical Business' income from operations for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2003 was adversely impacted by approximately $.6 million and $.3 million, respectively. Certain components of the plant were repaired and/or replaced, at an aggregate cost of approximately $.7 million and the plant was returned to service. However, to improve the reliability of the plant and to guard against a recurrence of this problem, we plan to install certain new equipment at an estimated installed cost of approximately $1.1 million during the fourth quarter 2003. Installation will ultimately be determined by the plants' operational reliability.

We have a long-term contract to supply industrial-grade ammonium nitrate to a third party under a cost-plus arrangement. This arrangement provides for cost reimbursement based on our actual cost. At June 30, 2003, we had recognized a net receivable from this customer while the customer claims we have billed an amount in excess of allowable operating costs, the differential of which approximates $.5 million. We intend to vigorously pursue collection of the receivable while denying the customer's claim. At June 30, 2003, we believe this net receivable is fully collectible. However the ultimate outcome of this matter cannot presently be predicted with certainty.

We recently hired a new president for the El Dorado Chemical Company ("EDC") subsidiary whose primary facilities are located in El Dorado, Arkansas and Cherokee, Alabama. We are in the process of evaluating the product lines of these operations for profitability consistent with management's goal to reduce the negative impact that changing prices of natural gas and anhydrous ammonia have on our sales and operating results. Management's plan for 2003 for EDC anticipates that the industrial-grade products of El Dorado Chemical and Cherokee Nitrogen that are sold pursuant to long-term cost-plus agreements will continue in 2003 at or about the same volume levels as in 2002. El Dorado's and Cherokee's 2003 production levels for nitrogen products sold as fertilizers into the agricultural markets will approximate the 2002 volume levels but the sales as expressed in dollars will be higher due to correspondingly higher unit sales prices. Due to the volatility of sales prices and the costs of feedstocks, anhydrous ammonia and natural gas, it is difficult to predict whether or not the sales of nitrogen products sold as fertilizer into the agricultural markets will be profitable for 2003; however, we believe we can make certain changes that will help improve the operating results of the Chemical Business.

The Climate Control Business' core product lines are hydronic fan coils and water source heat pumps. These core product lines have been very stable and the Climate Control Business has consistently managed to report increased earnings. As a result, we have been able to satisfy the various financial loan covenants. During the first six months of 2003 Climate Control's order level in its' core product lines has been down approximately 5% from the calendar year 2002 level (8% from the first six months of 2002). The lower sales order level is due to lower industry wide construction starts, primarily in the lodging sector. At June 30, 2003, backlogs in the core product lines are approximately the same as at December 31, 2002. Included in

-49-

Climate Control's operating results are three start-up product lines and/or services that have adversely affected operating results in recent periods. Although we don't expect these new product lines to reach positive results in 2003, there is the expectation that the results will improve and begin to approach a breakeven towards the end of 2003.

The planned capital expenditures for the remainder of 2003 are approximately $5 million. If the Discharge Water permit for the El Dorado facility is approved, it is currently expected to require capital expenditures of approximately $3 to $4 million, at the El Dorado facility, over the next 3 years. This assumes that the Discharge Water permit is corrected, the City of El Dorado, Arkansas (the "City") builds its own discharge pipeline to a nearby river and we are permitted to tie our pipeline into the City's pipeline. Management is continuing to review the design and configurations of treatment and discharge facilities to address the permitting issues. Also as discussed in Note 6, there will be certain expenditures required to bring the sulfuric acid plant's air emissions into acceptable limits. The design of additional emission controls at this plant is underway. At this point, the capital expenditures to achieve the required emission level are undeterminable involving the El Dorado facility. These projects are not expected to require funding until 2004 and beyond. Capital expenditures are dependent upon an adequate amount of liquidity and/or obtaining acceptable funding.

While we do not anticipate a material adverse result from the resolution of outstanding contingencies as discussed in Note 6 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, such a result would have an impact on our liquidity and future operating results.

Although the volatility of the Chemical Business is such that the forecasted results can fluctuate significantly, our cash flow forecasts indicate that there will be sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations as they come due in the near term. However, actual results may be materially different than our forecasts. Longer term liquidity is dependent upon new financing on the Chemical plants or facilities or improvement in the general Chemical Business operating environment.

Loan Agreements - Terms and Conditions

Our wholly-owned subsidiary ClimaChem, Inc., ("ClimaChem") and its subsidiaries are parties to a $50 million credit facility (the "Working Capital Revolver Loan") that matures in 2005. Outstanding borrowings under the Working Capital Revolver Loan were $34.2 million as of June 30, 2003 ($27.2 million at December 31, 2002). At June 30, 2003, the amount available for additional borrowing under the Working Capital Revolver Loan was $5.1 million, based on eligible collateral. The Working Capital Revolver Loan accrues interest at a base rate (generally equivalent to the prime rate) plus 2% or LIBOR plus 4.5%. The effective rate at June 30, 2003 was 5.87%.

The Working Capital Revolver Loan required ClimaChem to maintain quarterly earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for ClimaChem and its Climate Control Business on a trailing twelve-month basis, of $13.4 million and $10 million, respectively, measured as of June 30, 2003. ClimaChem and its Climate Control Business's EBITDA (as defined) for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2003 was in excess of the required amounts. The Working Capital Revolver Loan requires ClimaChem to maintain quarterly EBITDA, as defined, for ClimaChem and its Climate Control Business

-50-

on a trailing twelve-month basis of $13.5 million and $10 million, respectively, measured as of September 30, 2003, and $12.5 million and $10 million, respectively, measured as of December 31, 2003. For the fiscal quarters ending after December 31, 2003, the EBITDA requirement shall be negotiated based on ClimaChem's forecasted financial statements, however, if ClimaChem and the provider of the Working Capital Revolver Loan can not reach an agreement, the EBITDA requirement for ClimaChem shall not be less than $15 million. The Working Capital Revolver Loan also requires ClimaChem to achieve an annual fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1 to 1 and limits capital expenditures, as defined, to $11.2 million measured quarterly on a trailing twelve month basis. The Working Capital Revolver Loan requires that ClimaChem's excess availability, as defined, equal an amount not less than $.5 million. It also requires ClimaChem's excess availability, as defined, equal an amount not less than $1.5 million on the date of the periodic interest payments due on its 10-3/4% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2007 (discussed below) and due on certain debt issued pursuant to a financing arrangement (discussed below). The Working Capital Revolver Loan also contains covenants that, among other things, limit the borrowers' 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 of assets, or (f) repurchase ClimaChem's 10-3/4% Senior Unsecured 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 order to fund the repurchase of Senior Unsecured Notes at a substantial discount to the face value, ClimaChem entered into a Financing Agreement with certain lenders. Pursuant to the terms of the Financing Agreement, the lenders loaned $35 million to ClimaChem (the "Loans"). In December 2002, ClimaChem prepaid $3.5 million of the Loans. The Loans mature on June 30, 2005, and bear interest at 10 1/2% per annum (cash interest), payable quarterly. Additional interest of 5 1/2% is payable either at maturity or upon prepayment.

The financing transaction was accounted for as a debt restructuring in May 2002 and the implied gain relating to this transaction was deferred and all of the future interest payments associated with the Loans has been recognized in long-term debt. All future interest payments on the Loans will be charged against the debt balance presently accrued on the balance sheet. At June 30, 2003, the carrying amount of long-term debt owed the Lenders is $44.7 million which includes $13 million interest due on the Loans through maturity. Of this, interest of $3.4 million is included in current portion of long-term debt at June 30, 2003.

Approximately $1.8 million of the proceeds of the Loans was used to fund a cash collateral account. The cash collateral will be available to ClimaChem at the earlier of (a) the date the Loans are paid in full or (b) November 23, 2003 so long as no default or event of default is then continuing. Therefore the $1.8 million is classified as restricted cash and is included in current assets at June 30, 2003.

The Financing Agreement required ClimaChem to maintain quarterly EBITDA, as defined, for ClimaChem and its Climate Control Business on a trailing twelve-month basis of $13.4 million and $10 million, respectively, measured as of June 30, 2003. ClimaChem and its Climate Control Business's EBITDA, as defined, for the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2003 was in excess of the required amounts. The Financing Agreement requires ClimaChem to maintain

-51-

quarterly EBITDA, as defined, for ClimaChem and its Climate Control Business on a trailing twelve-month basis of the same amounts required under the Working Capital Revolver Loan as discussed above. Additionally, for quarters ending after December 31, 2002, if ClimaChem fails to maintain EBITDA, as defined, on a trailing twelve-month basis of at least $12 million (a "Trigger Event"), then within 210 days of the end of such quarter, ClimaChem shall pay the Lenders an amount equal to 33.3% ($10.6 million as of June 30, 2003) of then outstanding principal of the Loans plus interest. However, if ClimaChem maintains EBITDA on a trailing twelve-month basis of at least $12 million as of the end of each of the two quarters immediately following the Trigger Event, then within 210 days of such Trigger Event, ClimaChem shall pay the Lenders an amount equal to 10% ($3.2 million as of June 30, 2003) of then outstanding principal of the Loans plus interest.

The Financing Agreement also requires ClimaChem to achieve an annual fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1 to 1 and limits annual capital expenditures, as defined, to $11.2 million measured quarterly on a trailing twelve-month basis. The Financing Agreement also contains covenants that, among other things, limit ClimaChem's ability to: (a) incur additional indebtedness, (b) incur liens, (c) provide certain guarantees (d) engage in mergers, consolidations or other forms of recapitalization and (e) dispose of assets. The Lenders may, upon an event of default as defined, terminate the Financing Agreement and demand the balance outstanding due and payable in full.

In 1997, ClimaChem completed the sale of its 10-3/4% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2007 (the "Notes"). The Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 10-3/4% payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of ClimaChem and rank equal in right of payment to all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of ClimaChem and its subsidiaries. The Notes are effectively subordinated to all existing and future secured indebtedness of ClimaChem. The outstanding principal balance of the Notes due to unrelated third parties was $18.3 million at June 30, 2003.

Dividends

Due to the Company and ClimaChem's previous operating losses and limited borrowing ability under the credit facility then in effect, we discontinued payment of cash dividends on Common Stock for periods subsequent to January 1, 1999, until the Board of Directors determines otherwise. As of June 30, 2003, we have not paid the regular quarterly dividend of $.8125 on the outstanding $3.25 Convertible Exchangeable Class C Preferred Stock Series 2 ("Series 2 Preferred") since June 15, 1999, resulting in approximately $8.1 million in total accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series 2 Preferred. Also we have not declared and paid the regular annual dividend of $12.00 on the Series B Preferred since 1999, resulting in $.8 million in accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred. In addition, dividends in arrears related to our Series D 6% Cumulative, Convertible Class C preferred stock amounted to $.1 million. We do not anticipate having funds available to pay dividends on our stock for the foresee able future.

Contingencies

Environmental and Regulatory Compliance - 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

-52-

and regulatory compliance. We continually monitor whether we have maintained compliance with such laws and regulations and the operating and financial implications thereof. We believe we will be successful in addressing the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality ("ADEQ") Discharge Water Permit through various site modification projects currently underway and other projects acceptable to the ADEQ. Our appeal of a renewal permit has been resolved through the execution of a Permit Appeal Resolution by ADEQ and EDC. The Permit Appeal Resolution Agreement provides for effluent limits which EDC believes are acceptable. Before a permit can be issued under the Permit Appeal Resolution Agreement, the permit must be drafted by the ADEQ and the permit must be subject to publication and public comment and appeal. We believe that the revised permit issued in conformity with the Permit Appeal Resolution Agreement will require additional expenditures, assuming the City of El Dorado, Arkansas (the "City") builds its own discharge pipeline to a nearby river and we are permitted to tie our pipeline into the City's pipeline, estimated by us to be approximately $3 to 4 million, which would be expended over a period of three years. We don't have any reliable estimates of the cost of an alternative solution in the event that the pipeline is not ultimately built by the City. See Note 6 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Contingencies - We are a party to various litigation and other contingencies, the ultimate outcome of which is not presently known. See Note 6 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Should the ultimate outcome of these contingencies be adverse, that could result in an event of default under ClimaChem's Working Capital Revolver Loan and the Financing Agreement and could adversely impact our liquidity and capital resources. Although we do not anticipate that these claims will result in substantial adverse impacts on our operating results and/or liquidity, it is not possible to determine the outcome. The preceding sentence is a forward looking statement that involves a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. See Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

General

Our results of operations and operating cash flows are impacted by changes in market interest rates and changes in market prices of anhydrous ammonia, natural gas, steel and copper. Our Chemical Business buys substantial quantities of anhydrous ammonia and natural gas as feedstocks and our Climate Control Business buys substantial quantities of steel and copper for use in manufacturing processes generally at market prices. Periodically, the Chemical Business enters into fixed-price natural gas contracts and the Climate Control Business enters into exchange-traded futures for steel and copper, which contracts are generally accounted for on a mark to market basis. At June 30, 2003, the only purchase commitments under these contracts were for 750,000 pounds of copper at a weighted average cost of $.77 per pound through December 2003.

Interest Rate Risk

Our interest rate risk exposure results from our debt portfolio which is impacted by short-term rates, primarily prime rate-based borrowings from commercial banks, and long-term rates, primarily fixed-rate notes, some of which prohibit prepayment or require substantial prepayment penalties.

-53-

Reference is made to our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, for an expanded analysis of expected maturities of long-term debt and its weighted average interest rates.

As of June 30, 2003, our variable-rate and fixed-rate debt, which aggregated $116.5 million, exceeded the debt's fair market value by approximately $20 million ($20.5 million at December 31, 2002). The fair value of the Senior Unsecured Notes of one of our subsidiaries was determined based on a market quotation for such securities.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation, or caused such evaluation to be carried out under their supervision, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that a registrant is able to record, process, summarize and report the information required in the registrant's quarterly and annual reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer believe that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. While they believe our existing disclosure controls and procedures have been effective to accomplish these objectives, we intend to continue to examine, refine and formaliz e our disclosure controls and procedures and to maintain ongoing developments in this area. In addition, we reviewed our internal controls, and there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those internal controls subsequent to the date we carried out our last evaluation.

Independent Accountants' Review Report

The Board of Directors
LSB Industries, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of LSB Industries, Inc. as of June 30, 2003, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six-month and three-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which will be performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the consolidated balance sheet of LSB Industries, Inc. as of December 31, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 28, 2003, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2002, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

There are no material legal proceedings pending against the Company and/or its subsidiaries not previously reported in Item 3 of the Company's 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, or Item 1 of Part II of the Company's 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, except as follows:

Discharge Water Permit: The Discharge Water is governed by a state permit renewed every five years. The current permit expired in 1995, and the State and EDC have been negotiating since early 1997 on the issuance of a new permit. EDC and the State agreed to a formal Consent Administrative Order ("CAO") in September, 1998, which CAO contained certain deadlines for the completion of activities at the El Dorado Facility pending issuance of a new permit. In June, 2002, a formal amendment to the CAO, executed by The Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality ("ADEQ") and the El Dorado Facility, became effective, which extended the compliance date until three years after the effective date of the renewal permit. The renewal permit was issued by ADEQ containing effluent limits that EDC believed were inappropriately stringent, and which EDC believed it could not meet. That permit was appealed by EDC. The appeal has been resolved through the execution of a Permit Appeal Resolution by ADEQ and EDC. The Permit Appeal Resolution Agreement provides for effluent limits which EDC believes are acceptable. Before a permit can be issued under the Permit Appeal Resolution Agreement, the permit must be drafted by the ADEQ and the permit must be subject to publication and public comment and appeal.

Slurry Explosive Corporation ("SEC") Kansas Department of Environmental Quality ("KDHE"): As fully discussed in Note 6 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, during the second quarter of 2003, fish samples from the adjacent pond were tested by the KDHE with the results appearing to indicate a level of contamination below any action levels. The KDHE has also tested cattle samples from a herd that grazes near the Hallowell Facility, the results of which are not yet available. In connection with the ongoing environmental study at the Hallowell Facility, it has recently come to the attention of SEC that a previously unknown underground storage tank may be present at the Hallowell Facility. SEC will perform further investigation as to the presence of such an underground storage tank and the existence of any contamination that may have emanated from such tank.

Supplier of Anhydrous Ammonia: The principal raw material for the production of the Chemical Business' chemical products at the El Dorado Facility is anhydrous ammonia. The Chemical Business has entered into a contract with a supplier of anhydrous ammonia to purchase all or substantially all of its requirements of anhydrous ammonia from the supplier. The Chemical Business and the supplier are involved in a dispute relating to the appropriate pricing formula for the anhydrous ammonia sold to the Chemical Business under the agreement. As a result of the dispute, the Chemical Business sent a letter of default under the agreement to the supplier and, in response, the supplier has asserted that the Chemical Business is not in good faith and, as a result, is in default under the agreement. If pursued, the supplier could attempt to terminate the agreement between the Chemical Business and the supplier based on the alleged default. The parties are attempting to negotiate a settlement of this dispute .

Although we don't anticipate an interruption in supplies, in the event that the supplier should discontinue shipping product, the Company would have to make other arrangements possibly at a higher cost.

Zeller Pension Plan: In February, 2000, the Company's board of directors authorized management to proceed with the sale of the automotive business since the automotive business was no longer a "core business" of the Company. In May, 2000 the Company sold substantially all of its assets in its automotive business. After this authorization by the board, but prior to the sale, the automotive business purchased the assets and assumed certain liabilities of Zeller Corporation ("Zeller"). The liabilities of Zeller assumed by the automotive 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 business was contacted by a representative of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") regarding the plan. The owner has been informed by the PBGC of a possible underfunding of the plan and a possible takeover of the plan by the PBGC. The owner has notified the Company of these events. The Company has not been contacted by the PBGC and is not aware of any specific underfunded amount of the plan.

The Company has been advised by ERISA counsel that based upon current statutory and case law, numerous representations made by the Company and the assumption that the trier of fact determining the Company's obligations with respect to the plan would find that the purpose of the sale of the automotive business did not include an attempt to evade liability for funding the plan, it is unlikely that the Company will have ultimate financial responsibility to the PBGC under ERISA for any underfunding of the plan upon its termination.

Item 2. Changes in Securities

Not applicable

Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities

(b) Our Board of Directors did not declare and pay the June 15, 2003 dividends on our outstanding Series 2 Preferred. Accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series 2 Preferred are cumulative. The amount of the total arrearage of unpaid dividends on the outstanding Series 2 Preferred is $8.1 million as of June 30, 2003. In addition, we have decided to recommend our Board of Directors not approve the September 15, 2003 dividend payment on our outstanding Series 2 Preferred. If the September 15 dividend on the Series 2 Preferred is not paid, the amount of the total arrearage of unpaid dividends payable on the outstanding Series 2 Preferred will be $8.6 million and we will continue to exceed six quarters without paying the quarterly dividend on the Series 2 Preferred.

The terms of Series 2 Preferred provide that whenever dividends on the Series 2 Preferred are in arrears and unpaid in an amount equal to at least six quarterly dividends: (i) the number of members of our Board of Directors shall be increased by two effective as of the time of election of such directors; (ii) we shall, upon the written request of the record holder of 10% of the shares of Series 2 Preferred, call a special meeting of the Preferred Stockholders for the purpose of electing such two additional directors; (iii) the Preferred Stockholders have the exclusive right to vote for and elect such two additional directors; and (iv) the Preferred Stockholders right to elect two additional directors will terminate when all

cumulative and unpaid dividends on the Series 2 Preferred have been declared and set apart for payment.

At the request of Jayhawk Capital Management, L.L.C. ("Jayhawk"), a special meeting was held on March 11, 2002 for the purpose of electing the two additional directors to our Board of Directors. At this special meeting, the holders of the Series 2 Preferred elected two members of our Board of Directors, Dr. Allen Ford and Mr. Grant Donovan, as permitted pursuant to the terms of the Series 2 Preferred. The election of Dr. Ford and Mr. Donovan increased the number of directors from 10 to 12.

Also our Board of Directors did not declare and pay the January 1 regular dividend on our Series B 12% Convertible, Cumulative Preferred Stock ("Series B") since 1999. Dividends in arrears at June 30, 2003, related to the Series B was $.8 million.

In addition, dividends in arrears related to our Series D 6% Cumulative, Convertible Class C Preferred Stock was $.1 million as of June 30, 2003.
