                     SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS


Record Date and Voting Securities.  Only the record holders of shares of the
voting common stock and voting preferred stock of the Company as of the close
of business on April 27, 1995 (the "Record Date"), will have the right to
receive notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting.  As of the close of
business on the Record Date, the Company had the following shares of voting
common stock and voting preferred stock issued and outstanding; (a) 13,140,023 
shares of common stock (excluding 1,574,604 shares held in treasury); (b)
1,588 shares of Convertible Noncumulative Preferred Stock; and (c) 20,000
shares of Series B 12% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock.  Each
stockholder of record, as of the Record Date, will have one vote for each
share of voting common stock and voting preferred stock of the Company (or
one-half of one vote for each fractional one-half share of the Convertible
Noncumulative Preferred Stock) that the stockholder owned as of the Record
Date.  All shares of voting common stock and voting preferred stock will vote
together as a single class on all matters coming before the Annual Meeting,
and a majority of all of the outstanding shares of voting common stock and
voting preferred stock of the Company, represented as a single class, entitled
to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting, represented in person or by
proxy, will constitute a quorum for the meeting.

      Pursuant to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, only
votes cast "For" a matter constitute affirmative votes, except proxies in
which the stockholder fails to make a specification as to whether he votes
"For", "Against", "Abstains" or "Withholds" as to a particular matter shall be
considered as a vote "For" that matter.  Votes will be tabulated by an
inspector of election appointed by the Company's Board of Directors.  Votes in
which the stockholder specifies that he is "Withholding" or "Abstaining" from
voting are counted for quorum purposes.  Abstentions and broker non-votes are
not considered as votes "For" a particular matter.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners.  The following table shows
the total number and percentage of the outstanding shares of the Company's
voting common stock and voting preferred stock beneficially owned as of April
27, 1995, with respect to each person (including any "group" as used in
Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended) that the Company
knows to have beneficial ownership of more than five percent (5%) of the
Company's voting common stock and voting preferred stock.  A person is deemed
to be the beneficial owner of voting shares of common stock of the Company
which he or she could acquire within sixty (60) days of April 1, 1995, such as
upon the exercise of options.  

      Because of the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission as

beneficially own, the amounts shown below for an individual or entity may
include shares also considered beneficially owned by others.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.   A subsidiary of the Company,
Hercules Energy Mfg. Corporation ("Hercules"), leases land and a building in
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma from Mac Venture, Ltd. ("Mac Venture"), a limited
partnership.  GPC serves as the general partner of Mac Venture.  The limited
partners of Mac Venture include GPC and the three children of Jack E. Golsen. 
See "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management", for a
discussion of the stock ownership of GPC.  The land leased by Hercules from
Mac Venture consists of a total of 341,000 square feet, with 44,000 square
feet in the building.  Hercules leases the property from Mac Venture for
$7,500 per month under a triple net lease which began as of January 1, 1982,
and expires on December 31, 1998.  Also, at January 1, 1991, GPC owed Hercules
approximately $62,000 for purchases of oilfield equipment in prior years. 
Beginning in 1991, the balance of $62,000 was payable at the rate of $1,000
per month, and in September 1994, GPC paid this debt in full.

      Northwest Internal Medicine Associates, ("Northwest") a division of
Plaza Medical Group., P.C., has an agreement with the Company to perform
medical examinations of the management and supervisory personnel of the
Company and its subsidiaries.  Under such agreement, Northwest is paid $4,000
a month to perform all such examinations.  Dr. Robert C. Brown (a director of
the Company) is a co-owner of Plaza Medical Group., P.C.

      In 1983, LSB Chemical Corp. ("LSB Chemical"), a subsidiary of the
Company, acquired all of the outstanding stock of El Dorado Chemical Company
("EDC") from its then four stockholders ("Ex-Stockholders").  A substantial
portion of the purchase price consisted of an earnout based primarily on the
annual after-tax earnings of EDC for a ten-year period.  During 1989, two of
the Ex-Stockholders received LSB Chemical promissory notes for a portion of
their earnout, in lieu of cash, totaling approximately $896,000, payable
$496,000 in January, 1990, and $400,000 in May, 1995.  LSB Chemical agreed to
a buyout of the balance of the earnout from the four Ex-Stockholders for an
aggregate purchase amount of $1,231,000.  LSB Chemical purchased for cash the
earnout from two of the Ex-Stockholders and issued multi-year promissory notes
totaling $676,000 to the other two Ex-Stockholders.  Jack E. Golsen guaranteed
LSB Chemical's payment obligation under the promissory notes, which was
$400,000 at March 31, 1995.

      In December 1993, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the
Company to loan funds to certain executive officers of the Company and certain
subsidiaries who incurred unanticipated alternative minimum tax liability as a
result of the exercise of the Company's incentive stock options during 1993
("Loans").  Pursuant to such authorization, the Company made the Loans to the
following executive officers of the Company in the following amounts for the
purpose of assisting them in their payment of alternative minimum tax
liability arising from the exercise of the Company's incentive stock options: 
Jack E. Golsen - $290,000; Barry H. Golsen - $270,000; David R. Goss -
$461,000; Tony M. Shelby - $400,000; David M. Shear - $56,500; and Jim D.
Jones - $185,000.  Each of the Loans was payable on demand at an annual
interest rate equal to New York Prime plus 1% and was secured by shares of the
Company's common stock acquired by the respective executive officers upon the
exercise of such options.  The Company also made Loans for the same purposes
and on the same terms as described above to Steven J. Golsen, President of one
of the Company's subsidiaries, in the amount of $270,000 and Claude L.
Rappaport, President of one of the Company's subsidiaries, in the amount of
$270,000.  Steven J. Golsen and Claude L. Rappaport are also the son and son-
in-law, respectively, of Jack E. Golsen, the President and Chairman of the
Board of the Company.  

      On or before September 26, 1994, Jack E. Golsen, Barry H. Golsen and
David M. Shear each paid their respective Loans in full by  tendering cash
payment to the Company in an amount equal to the outstanding principal and
accrued interest owing under their respective loans.  The funds used to
satisfy such Loans were acquired by Jack E. Golsen, Barry H. Golsen and David
M. Shear upon the sale in open market transactions to Lazard Freres & Company
("Lazard") of the following number of shares of the Company's common stock
owned by them at the following sales prices:  Sylvia H. Golsen, wife of Jack
E. Golsen, - 92,000 shares at $6.25 per share; Barry H. Golsen - 29,000 shares
at $6.25 per share; and David M. Shear and Heidi Brown, his wife, - 9,900
shares at $6.125 per share.  Steven J. Golsen, son of Jack E. Golsen, and
Claude L. Rappaport, son-in-law of Jack E. Golsen, also paid their respective
Loans in full by tendering cash payment to the Company in the amount equal to
the outstanding principal and accrued interest owing under their respective
Loans.  The funds used to satisfy the Loans to Steven J. Golsen and Claude L.
Rappaport were acquired by them upon the sale in open market transactions to
Lazard of the following number of shares of the Company's common stock owned
by them at the following sales prices:  Steven J. Golsen - 30,000 shares at
$6.25 per share, and Claude L. Rappaport - 31,000 shares at $6.25 per share.

      Pursuant to an understanding between the Company and Lazard, immediately
following the open market sales of (i) an aggregate 191,900 shares by Sylvia
H. Golsen, Barry H. Golsen, David M. Shear, Heidi Brown, Steven J. Golsen, and
Claude L. Rappaport, described above; (ii) 20,000 shares by Golsen Petroleum
Corporation ("GPC") at a sales price of $6.25 per share, and (iii) 25,000
shares by Robert C. Brown, M. D. at a sales price of $6.25 per share, the
Company purchased such shares of its common sock from Lazard at purchase
prices of $6.25 per share as to 227,000 shares and $6.125 per share as to
9,900 shares, which purchase prices equaled the fair market value of the
common stock on the dates of such purchases.  The aggregate 236,900 shares
acquired by the Company upon such purchase constitute treasury shares of the
Company.  GPC is wholly owned by Sylvia H. Golsen, wife of Jack E. Golsen,
Steven J. Golsen, Barry H. Golsen, and the daughter of Jack E. Golsen.

      On or before October 4, 1994, Messrs. Shelby, Jones, and Goss paid their
Loans in full by (i) tendering cash payment to the Company as payment of a
portion of such Loans, and (ii) transferring to the Company the number of
shares of common stock owned by each of them equal to the remaining
outstanding principal and accrued interest owing under such Loans, based on
the fair market value of $5.75 per share of common stock on the date of
transfer.  The number of shares of common stock transferred to the Company by
Messrs. Shelby, Jones, and Goss, as described above, was 60,654, 21,458 and
72,892, respectively.

      In 1994, during the period that the Company was negotiating a new
working capital line of credit, GPC advanced the Company $175,000 and the MG
Revocable Trust advanced the Company $247,000.  Each advance was made on a
unsecured basis at a rate of interest equal to the base rate of a local bank
approximating prime plus 1-3/4% per annum.  The Settlor of the MG Revocable
Trust is the mother of Jack E. Golsen.  These advances and all accrued
interest were repaid in full prior to the closing of the new working capital
line of credit in December, 1994.

      (1)   Includes the following amounts paid in 1992 as bonuses for 1991:
Jack E. Golsen - $60,000; Barry H. Golsen - $40,000; David R. Goss - $40,000;
and Tony M. Shelby - $40,000.

      (2)   Does not include perquisites and other personal benefits,
securities or property provided the named executive officer in any year if the
aggregate amount of such compensation for such year does not exceed the lesser
of either $50,000 or 10% of the total of annual salary and bonus reported for
the named executive officer for such year.

      (3)   In 1994, the Company paid to Messrs. J. Golsen, B. Golsen, Goss
and Shelby a one time fee of $100,000 each for their services as members of
the Board of Directors of Equity Bank during the six years that the Company
owned that financial business. 

      (4)   On June 1, 1989, the Company originally granted a nonqualified
stock option to purchase 165,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an
exercise price of $2.625 per share (the "NQSO"), which on the date of grant
was the fair market value of the Company's common stock.  Prior to the NQSO's
expiration date of June 1, 1994, the Company granted an extension of the
option period of the NQSO for an additional five (5) year period, beginning on
June 1, 1994, and terminating on June 1, 1999 (the "Extended NQSO").  The
Extended NQSO vests and becomes exercisable at twenty percent (20%) per year
on June 1, 1995, 1996, and 1997, and the remaining forty percent (40%) becomes
exercisable June 1, 1998.  The exercise price of the Extended NQSO is $2.625
per share, the same as the original NQSO.  The Extended NQSO shall become
immediately exercisable in full upon the death of the optionee or a change in
control of the Company, and the Board of Directors of the Company may, at its
option, accelerate such vesting at any time.

OPTION GRANTS IN 1994.  The following table sets forth information relating to
individual grants of stock options made to each of the named executive
officers in the above Summary Compensation Table during the last fiscal year:

                                                  Potential Realizable Value

(1)   See footnote 4 under the above table for Executive Compensation for
discussion as to the option granted to Mr. Golsen.

(2)   The potential realizable value of each grant of options assumes that the
market price of the Company's common stock appreciates in value from the date
of grant to the end of the option term at the annualized rates shown above
each column.  The actual value that the optionee may realize, if any, will
depend on the amount by which the market price of the Company's common stock
at the time of exercise exceeds the exercise price of the option.  There is no
assurance that the optionee will receive the amounts estimated in this table. 
The fair market value of a share of the Company's common stock was $8.375 on
the date that the NQSO was extended as discussed in footnote (1) above, and
$5.375 on April 27, 1995.  Thus, the realizable value of the Extended NQSO on
April 27, 1995, was $453,750, which is the difference between the exercise
price of the Extended NQSO and the market value of the Company's common stock
on April 27, 1995. 

AGGREGATED OPTION EXERCISES IN 1994 AND FISCAL YEAR END OPTION VALUES.  The
following table sets forth information concerning each exercise of stock
options by each of the named executive officers during the last fiscal year

      (1)   No shares were acquired in 1994 by the named individuals as a
result of the exercise of stock options granted to them by the Company.

      (2)   The options granted under the Company's Incentive Stock Option
Plans become exercisable 20% after one year from date of grant, an additional
20% after two years, an additional 30% after three years, and the remaining
30% after four years.  See footnote 4 as to vesting provisions of nonqualified
stock options granted to Mr. Golsen.

      (3)   The values are based on the difference between the price of the
Company's common stock on the New York Exchange at the close of trading on
December 31, 1994 of $6.25 per share and the exercise price of such option. 
The actual value realized by a named executive on the exercise of these
options depends on the market value of the Company's common stock on the date
of exercise.

      (4)   The amount shown includes 165,000 non-qualified stock options
which vest and are exercisable 20% on June 1, 1995, June 1, 1996 and June 1,
1997 with the remaining 40% exercisable June 1, 1998.

OTHER PLANS.  The Board of Directors has adopted an LSB Industries, Inc.
Employee Savings Plan (the "401(k) Plan") for the employees (including
executive officers) of the Company and its subsidiaries, excluding certain
(but not all) employees covered under union agreements.  The 401(k) Plan is an
employee contribution plan, and the Company and its subsidiaries make no
contributions to the 401(k) Plan.  The amount that an employee may contribute
to the 401(k) Plan equals a certain percentage of the employee's compensation,
with the percentage based on the employee's income and certain other criteria
as required under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.  The Company or
subsidiary deducts the amounts contributed to the 401(k) Plan from the
employee's compensation each pay period, in accordance with the employee's
instructions, and pays the amount into the 401(k) Plan for the employee's
benefit.  The Summary Compensation Table set forth above includes any amount
contributed and deferred  during the 1994 fiscal year pursuant to the 401(k)
Plan by the named executive officers of the Company.

      The Company has a death benefit plan for certain key employees. Under
the plan, the designated beneficiary of an employee covered by the plan will
receive a monthly benefit for a period of ten (10) years if the employee dies
while in the employment of the Company or a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company.  The agreement with each employee provides, in addition to being
subject to other terms and conditions set forth in the agreement, that the
Company may terminate the agreement as to any employee at anytime prior to the
employee's death.  The Company has purchased life insurance on the life of
each employee covered under the plan to provide, in large part, a source of
funds for the Company's obligations under the Plan.  The Company also will
fund a portion of the benefits by investing the proceeds of a policy received
by the Company upon the employee's death.  The Company is the owner and sole
beneficiary of the insurance policy, with the proceeds payable to the Company
upon the death of the employee.  The following table sets forth the amounts of
annual benefits payable to the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries of the
executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table set forth above
under the above-described death benefits plan.

                                            Amount of
            Name of Individual            Annual Payment
            ------------------            --------------
            Jack E. Golsen                $175,000
            Barry H. Golsen               $ 30,000
            David R. Goss                 $ 35,000
            Tony M. Shelby                $ 35,000
            David M. Shear                $      0

      In addition to the above-described plans, during 1991 the Company
entered into a non-qualified arrangement with certain key employees of the
Company and its subsidiaries to provide compensation to such individuals in
the event that they are employed by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company
at age 65.  Under the plan, the employee will be eligible to receive for the
life of such employee, a designated benefit as set forth in the plan.  In
addition, if prior to attaining the age 65 the employee dies while in the
employment of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, the designated
beneficiary of the employee will receive a monthly benefit for a period of ten
(10) years.  The agreement with each employee provides, in addition to being
subject to other terms and conditions set forth in the agreement, that the
Company may terminate the agreement as to any employee at any time prior to
the employee's death.  The Company has purchased insurance on the life of each
employee covered under the plan where the Company is the owner and sole
beneficiary of the insurance policy, with the proceeds payable to the Company
to provide a source of funds for the Company's obligations under the plan. 
The Company may also fund a portion of the benefits by investing the proceeds
of such insurance policies.  Under the terms of the plan, if the employee
becomes disabled while in the employment of the company or a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, the employee may request the Company to cash-in any
life insurance on the life of such employee purchased to fund the Company's
obligations under the plan.  Jack E. Golsen does not participate in the plan. 
The following table sets forth the amounts of annual benefits payable to the
executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table set forth above
under such retirement plan.

      ------------------                  --------------
      Barry H. Golsen                       $17,480
      David R. Goss                         $17,403

      David M. Shear                        $17,822

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS.  In 1994, the Company compensated each non-
management director of the Company for his services in the amount of $4,500.  
The non-management directors of the Company also received $500 for every
meeting of the Board of Directors attended during 1994.  Each member of the
Audit Committee, consisting of Messrs. Ille, Brown and Shaffer, also received
an additional $20,000 for their services in 1994.  In addition, the Company
paid Mr. Thurman $20,000 as compensation for his services as Chairperson of
the Special Projects Committee of the Board of Directors for 1994.  Also, as
further discussed in "Executive Compensation - Summary Compensation Table",
the Company paid to Messrs. J. Golsen, B. Golsen, Goss and Shelby a one-time
fee of $100,000 for their services as members of the Board of Directors of
Equity Bank during the six years that the Company owned that financial
business.  Messrs. J. Golsen, B. Golsen, Goss and Shelby are members of the
Company's Board of Directors, as well as employees of the Company.

      In September 1993, the Company adopted the 1993 Non-Employee Director
Stock Option Plan (the "Outside Director Plan").  The Outside Director Plan
authorizes the grant of non-qualified stock options to each member of the
Company's Board of Directors who is not an officer or employee of the Company
or its subsidiaries.  The maximum shares for which options may be issued under
the Outside Director Plan will be 150,000 shares (subject to adjustment as
provided in the Outside Director Plan).  The Company shall automatically grant
to each outside director an option to acquire 5,000 shares of the Company's
common stock on April 30 following the end of each of the Company's fiscal
years in which the Company realizes net income of $9.2 million or more for
such fiscal year.  The exercise price for an option granted under the Outside
Director Plan shall be the fair market value of the shares of common stock at
the time the option is granted.  Each option granted under the Outside
Director Plan, to the extent not exercised, shall terminate upon the earlier
of the termination of the outside director as a member of the Company's Board
of Directors or the fifth anniversary of the date such option was granted.  On
April 30, 1994, options to acquire 5,000 shares of common stock were granted
under this plan to Messrs. Ille, Brown, Shaffer, Thurman and Ackerman, at a
per share exercise price of $9.00.  As a result of the Company's financial
performance for 1994, the Company will be granting options under the Outside
Director Plan for the purchase of 5,000 shares of common stock to each of
Messrs. Ille, Brown, Shaffer, Thurman, and Ackerman at the fair market value
of the Company's common stock as of the close of business on April 30, 1995. 

TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE IN CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS.  In 1989
and 1991, the Company entered into severance agreements with Jack E. Golsen,
Barry H. Golsen, Tony M. Shelby, David R. Goss, David M. Shear and certain
other officers of the Company and subsidiaries of the Company.

      Each severance agreement provides (among other things) that if, within
twenty-four (24) months after the occurrence of a change in control (as
defined) of the Company, the Company terminates the officer's employment other
than for cause (as defined) or the officer terminates his employment for good
reason (as defined) the Company must pay the officer an amount equal to 2.9
times the officer's base amount (as defined).  The phrase "base amount" means
the average annual gross compensation paid by the Company to the officer and
includable in the officer's gross income during the period consisting of the
most recent five (5) year period immediately preceding the change in control. 
If the officer has been employed by the Company for less than 5 years, the
base amount is calculated with respect to the most recent number of taxable
years ending before the change in control that the officer worked for the
Company.

     The severance agreements provide that a "change in control" means a
change in control of the Company of a nature that would require the filing of
a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission and, in any event, 
would mean when: (1) any individual, firm, corporation, entity or group (as
defined in Section 13(d) (3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended) becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of thirty 
percent (30%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company's 
outstanding voting securities having the right to vote for the election of
directors, except acquisitions by:  (a) any person, firm, corporation, entity
or group which, as of the date of the severance agreement, has that ownership,
or (b) Jack E. Golsen, his wife; his children and the spouses of his children;
his estate; executor or administrator of any estate, guardian or custodian for
Jack E. Golsen, his wife, his children, or the spouses of his children, any
corporation, trust, partnership or other entity of which Jack E. Golsen, his
wife, children, or the spouses of his children own at least eighty percent
(80%) of the outstanding beneficial voting or equity interest, directly or 
indirectly, either by any one or more of the above-described persons, entities
or estates; and certain affiliates and associates of any of the above-
described persons, entities or estates; (2) individuals who, as of the date of
the severance agreement, constitute the Board of Directors of the Company (the
"Incumbent Board") and who cease for any reason to constitute a majority of 
the Board of Directors except that any person becoming a director subsequent 
to the date of the severance agreement, whose election or nomination for
election is approved by a majority of the Incumbent Board (with certain
limited exceptions), will constitute a member of the Incumbent Board; or (3)
the sale by the company of all or substantially all of its assets.

     The termination of an officer's employment with the Company "for cause"
means termination because of:  (a) the mental or physical disability from
performing the officer's duties for a period of one hundred twenty (120)
consecutive days or one hundred eighty days (even though not consecutive)
within a three hundred sixty (360) day period; (b) the conviction of a felony;
(c) the embezzlement by the officer of Company assets resulting in substantial
personal enrichment of the officer at the expense of the Company; or (d) the
willful failure (when not menatally or physically disabled) to follow a direct 
written order from the Company's Board of Directors within the reasonable
scope of the officer's duties performed during the sixty (60) day period prior
to the change of control.

     The termination of an officer's employment with the Company for "good
reason" means termination because of (a) the assignment to the officer of 
duties inconsistent with the officer's position, authority, duties or
responsibilities during the sixty (60) day period immediately preceding the
change in control of the Company or any other action which results in the
diminishment of those duties, position, authority, or responsibilities; (b)
the relocation of the officer; (c) any purported termination by the Company of
the officer's employment with the Company otherwise than as permitted by the
severance agreement; or (d) in the event of a change in control of the
Company, the failure of the successor or parent company to agree, in form and
substance satisfactory to the officer, to assume (as to a successor) or 
guarantee (as to a parent) the severance agreement as if no change in control
had occurred.

     Each severance agreement runs until the earlier of:  (a) three years 
after the date of the severance agreement, or (b) the officer's normal
retirement date from the Company.  However, beginning on the first anniversary
of the severance agreement and on each anniversary thereafter, the term of the 
severance agreement automatically extends for an additional one-year period,
unless the Company gives notice otherwise at least sixty (60) days prior to
the anniversary date.

     Effective June 1, 1994, the Company extended until June 1, 1999, the
option period of a nonqualified stock option previously granted to Jack E. 
Golsen for the purchase of 165,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an
exercise price of $2.625 per share (the "Extended NQSO").  The Extended NQSO
vests and become exercisable at twenty percent (20%) per year on June 1, 
1995, 1996, and 1997, and the remaining forty percent (40%) becomes
exercisable on June 1, 1998.  The terms of the Extended NQSO provide, in part, 
that the Extended NQSO shall become immediately exercisable upon a change in
control of the Company.  A "change in control" for purposes of the Extended
NQSO, shall be deemed to have occurred upon any of the following events:  (i)
consummation of any of the following transactions:  any merger,
recapitalization, or other business combination of the Company pursuant to
which the Company is the non-surviving corporation, unless the majority of the
holders of common stock immediately prior to such transaction will own at 
least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of the then outstanding
securities of the surviving corporation immediately after such transaction;
(ii) a transaction in which any person, corporation, or other entity (A) shall
purchase any common stock pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer,
without the prior consent of the Board of Directors or (B) shall become the
"beneficial owner" (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of securities of the Company representing
fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power of the then outstanding
securities of the Company; or (iii) if, during any period of two (2)
consecutive years, individuals who, at the beginning of such period, 
constituted the entire Board of Directors and any new director whose election
by the Board of Directors, or nomination for election by the Company's
stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors
then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period
or whose election or nomination for election by the stockholders was 
previously approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof.

     Under the Company's 1993 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "1993
Plan"), the executive officers of the Company may be granted options to
purchase the Company's common stock, stock appreciation rights ("SAR"), and
limited stock appreciation rights ("LSAR").  Under the terms of the 1993 Plan,
upon a "change in control" of the Company, each outstanding stock option, SAR
and LSAR granted under the 1993 Plan shall become immediately exercisable in
full, notwithstanding the vesting or exercise provisions, if any, contained in
the agreement between the Company and the individual setting forth the terms
and conditions of the stock option, SAR, or LSAR awarded to such individual.
For purposes of the 1993 Plan, the definition of a "change in control" is 
substantially the same as described above with respect to the Extended NQSO.
As of the Record Date, no stock options, SARs or LSARs have beeen awarded under
the 1993 plan.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION.  The Company's
Executive Salary Review Committee (the "Committee") has the authority to set
the compensation of all officers of the Comapny.  This Committee generally
considers and approves the recommendations of the President for all officers 
of the Company except the President.  The Commmittee sets the compensation of
the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, taking into account
the factors noted below under the "Report of Executive Salary Review 
Committee".  The members of the Executive Salary Review Committee are the
following non-management directors:  Robert C. Brown, M.D., Jerome D. Shaffer,
M.D., and Bernard G. Ille.  During 1994, the Executive Salary Review Committee
had one meeting.

            See "Compensation of Directors" for information concerning
compensation paid and options granted to non-employee directors of the Company
during 1994 for services as a director to the Company.


REPORT OF EXECUTIVE SALARY REVIEW COMMITTEE.  The following report by the
Executive Salary Review Committee required by the rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission to be included in this Proxy Statement shall not be
considered incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by
reference this Proxy Statement into any filing under the Securities Act of
1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (collectively, the "Acts"), except
to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates this information by
reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed to be soliciting material or to
be filed under such Acts.

General.

      The Executive Salary Review Committee ("Committee") is presently
comprised of three (3) directors of the Company, who are not current or former
employees of the Company.  See "Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider
Participation in Compensation Decisions".  The Committee is responsible for
reviewing and approving the compensation paid to executive officers of the
Company, including the President-Chief Executive Officer.

Compensation Policy for Executive Officers.

      Although the Committee has not established specific quantitative
compensation policies for executive officers of the Company, including the
President-Chief Executive Officer, the Committee reviews each executive
officer's performance on behalf of the Company during the last preceding year
in establishing the executive officer's bonus for such year, if any, and any
increase or decreases to such executive officers' compensation for the next
year.  The guiding principle of the Committee is based on the following
objectives: (i) to attract and retain qualified executives in a highly
competitive environment who will play significant roles in achieving the
Company's goals; (ii) to reward executives for strategic management and the
long-term enhancement of shareholder value; and , (iii) to create a
performance-oriented environment that rewards performance with respect to
financial and operational goals of the Company.  The key elements of the
Company's executive compensation program have consisted of a base salary,
bonus and stock options.

      As to the compensation (salary and bonus) paid or payable to executive
officers, other than the President-Chief Executive Officer, the President-
Chief Executive Officer makes a recommendation to the Committee.  The
Committee considers such recommendation and generally approves the
recommendation.  The President-Chief Executive Officer's recommendation with
respect to base salary and the Committee's approval or disapproval of such
recommendation is primarily based on the three objectives set forth above. 
With respect to bonus compensation, such recommendation by the President and
Chief Executive Officer and approval is closely tied to the individual's
performance and the Company's financial performance.

      Jack E. Golsen has been President and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company since its formation in 1969.  In setting Mr. Golsen's salary and
bonus, the Committee takes into account shareholder value, which he helped
create, and the fact that Mr. Golsen initiated and continues to spearhead the
strategy of expanding and diversifying the Company through internal growth,
acquisitions, redeployment of assets and personnel and development of
international markets.  Due to losses sustained by the Company in 1990 and
1991, increases in Mr. Golsen's annual salary for 1991 and 1992 were nominal. 
Mr. Golsen's annual base salary was increased approximately $20,000 from 1992
to 1993 and approximately $50,000 from 1993 to 1994.  The reason for these
increases was in part to reward Mr. Golsen for his management in assisting the
Company in it's substantial improvement in earnings in 1992 over 1991 and 1993
over 1992.  The Committee considers these increases to Mr. Golsen's annual
base salary to be consistent with the above goals.

      Bonuses, if any, are paid to executive officers in arrears for
performance during the previous fiscal year.  Jack E. Golsen received bonuses
for fiscal year 1991 of $60,000, fiscal year 1992 of $100,000 and fiscal year
1993 of $150,000 as a result of the substantial improvement by the Company in
each of 1991, 1992, and 1993 over the previous year due, in part, to the
efforts of Mr. Golsen.  The Committee considers these bonuses to be consistent
with the goals set forth above.

      In June, 1994, the Committee granted a one time fee to each of Barry H.
Golsen, Jack E. Golsen, David R. Goss, Jim D. Jones, and Tony M. Shelby,
executive officers of the Company, of $100,000 for their non-compensated
services as directors of Equity Bank for Savings, F.A. ("Equity Bank") from
the time of Equity Bank's acquisition by the Company in March, 1988, until
Equity Bank was sold by the Company in May, 1994.  The Committee considered
that their service as directors of Equity Bank were important factors in the
growth of Equity Bank from 1988, to May, 1994, and their contribution assisted
the Company in selling Equity Bank for approximately $92 million and a pre-tax
profit of approximately $24.2 million.

      The Company has had a practice of granting stock options to the
President-Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers.  This practice
is founded on the belief that stock options offer executive officers a
valuable incentive to achieve increased profitability of the Company in order
to enhance shareholder value.  There are no specific factors used to determine
the number of options granted or to the timing of such grants; however,
certain criteria are considered such as length of  service, level of
responsibility, and the achievement of the Company's earnings objective.

  Assumes $100 invested at year-end 1989 in the Company, Peer Group
  No. 1, Peer Group No. 2, the NYSE MVI and the AMEX MVI.

  Peer Group No. 1 and Peer Group No. 2 (the "Composite Indexes") were
developed for the Company by Media General Financial Services and are
comprised of certain companies that have Standard Industrial Classification
("SIC") codes which the Company believes correspond to the Company's primary
lines of business after and before the sale of the Company's Financial
Services business in May, 1994, respectively.  The companies which comprise
Peer Group No. 1 and Peer Group No. 2 are listed on Exhibit "A" and Exhibit
"B" to this Proxy Statement, respectively.  Peer Group No. 1 is comprised of
(a) chemical companies having SIC codes 102 (sulfuric and nitrate) and 103
(specialty chemicals); and (b) environmental control companies having SIC code
059 (plumbing, heating, and air conditioning), and is provided for comparison
to the Company's two primary lines of business -- Chemical and Environmental. 
Peer Group No. 2 is comprised of financial institutions having SIC code 54
(savings and loan) in addition to the companies comprising Peer Group No. 1,
and is provided for comparison to the Company's three primary lines of
business -- Financial Services, Chemical and Environmental -- that existed
prior to the sale of the Financial Services Business in May, 1994.  The NYSE
MVI line is provided as a result of the Company's common stock being listed on
the New York Stock Exchange as of August, 1994.  The AMEX MVI line is provided
as a result of the Company's common stock being listed on the American Stock
Exchange until August, 1994, when the Company's common stock became listed on
the New York Stock Exchange.  Pursuant to the rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, comparisons to the AMEX MVI line and the Peer Group No. 2
line are provided because such lines were included in the Performance Graph
contained in the Company's Proxy Statement for its 1994 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders.  Each of the lines of business is weighted equally in the
Composite Indexes.  The Company has been advised that the cumulative total
return of each component company has been weighted according to the respective
company's stock market capitalization.  In light of the Company's unique
industry diversification, the Company believes that the Composite Indexes
represent appropriate peer groups for comparison to the Company.

     The above Five-Year Total Shareholder Return Graph shall not be deemed
incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference
this Proxy Statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (collectively, the "Acts"), except to the
extent that the Company specifically incorporates this information by
reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed to be soliciting material or to
be filed under such Acts.


                     SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


  The Board of Directors, based on the recommendation of the Audit
Committee, has reappointed the firm of Ernst & Young, certified public
accountants, as the Company's auditors for 1995, subject to the approval and
ratification by the stockholders.  Ernst & Young (or its predecessor, Arthur
Young & Company) has served as the Company's auditors for a period in excess
of five (5) years, including the fiscal year most recently completed.

  In line with past practices, it is expected that one or more
representatives of Ernst & Young will attend the Annual Meeting and will be
available to respond to appropriate questions or make a statement should they
desire to do so.

  THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE APPROVAL AND
RATIFICATION OF THE REAPPOINTMENT OF ERNST & YOUNG


                               OTHER MATTERS


  The Board of Directors knows of no other matters which may come before
the Annual Meeting.  If any other business properly comes before the meeting,
the persons named in the proxy will vote with respect to that matter in
accordance with their best judgment.

  Pursuant to the Bylaws of the Company, only such business shall be
conducted at the Annual Meeting as shall have been brought before the meeting
(i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors of the Company, or (ii)
by any stockholder of the company who is entitled to vote at the Annual
Meeting and who complies with the following notice requirements.  No business
may be properly brought before the Annual Meeting by a stockholder unless the
stockholder gives written notice to the Secretary of the Company of the
business to be presented at the Annual Meeting not less than fifty (50) days
prior to the date of the Annual Meeting (or in the event that less than sixty
(60) days notice, or public disclosure of the date of the Annual Meeting, is
given or made to stockholders, written notice by the stockholder must be
received by the Secretary of the Company not later than the close of business
on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which notice of the date of the
meeting was mailed or public disclosure was made).  The written notice must
set forth: (i) a brief description of the business desired to be presented
before the Annual Meeting and reasons for conducting such business at the
meeting; (ii) the name and address, as they appear on the Company's books, of
the stockholder proposing such business, (iii) the class and number of shares
of the Company's voting stock beneficially owned by such stockholder, and (iv)
any material interest of such stockholder in such business.
