Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. ____________________________________ On August 2, 1999, LSB Industries, Inc. (the "Company") consummated the sale by the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries, Total Energy Systems, Ltd. ("TES"), TES Mining Services Pty Ltd. ("TES Mining"), Total Energy Systems (International) Pty Ltd. ("TES International"), and Total Energy Systems (NZ) Limited ("TES NZ") (collectively, the "TES Subsidiaries") of substantially all the assets of the TES Subsidiaries to Quantum Explosives ("Quantum"), a subsidiary of Thiess Contractors Pty Limited pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 7, 1999, and amended June 30, 1999 (the "Asset Purchase Agreement"). The TES Subsidiaries were engaged in the business of manufacturing and supplying bulk and package explosives and blasting agents and other products and services to the mining, quarrying, civil engineering and other industries in Australia, New Zealand, and elsewhere. The TES Subsidiaries are wholly owned subsidiaries of ClimaChem, Inc. ("ClimaChem"), and ClimaChem is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Quantum purchased all of the plant, equipment, intellectual property, inventory, material contracts, and leases relating to the TES Subsidiaries' business. All of the TES Subsidiaries' accounts receivables (approximately $2.6 million) and trade payables (approximately $1.9 million) were retained by the TES Subsidiaries. The purchase price paid by Quantum under the Asset Purchase Agreement was $11.6 million. The purchase price was determined at closing based on the following: the book value of the inventory and fixed assets, less approximately $650,000 for certain environmental contingencies. The purchase price was paid as follows: $9.8 million in cash, debt assumed of $1.1 million, and an approximately $.7 million holdback to be paid within 21 days following the date of the closing, subject to the final determination of the book value of the TES Subsidiaries' inventory. Approximately $6.4 million of the cash received was used by TES to repay certain indebtedness to its primary lender, the Bank of New Zealand, Australia. The sale of the TES Subsidiaries' business pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement resulted in a loss to the Company of approximately $2 million. However, the sale of the TES Subsidiaries will eliminate from the Company's future performance the losses incurred by the TES Subsidiaries, which are currently approximately $3 million per annum.

LSB INDUSTRIES, INC. UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION August 17, 1999 On May 7, 1999, Total Energy Systems Limited and its subsidiaries ("TES") entered into an agreement to sell substantially all the assets of TES. Under the agreement, TES retains all of its liabilities, except liabilities for the financing of certain property and equipment, and will liquidate such liabilities retained from the proceeds of the sale and from the collection of its accounts receivables which were retained by TES (collectively, the "Transactions"). The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1999 gives effect to the Transactions involving the Company's wholly owned Australian subsidiary, Total Energy Systems, Limited, as if they had occurred on March 31, 1999. The accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the three months ended March 31, 1999 give effect to the sale and realization of the assets of TES as if the Transactions had occurred as of January 1, 1998. Such unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information has been prepared based on estimates and assumptions deemed by the Company to be appropriate and does not purport to be indicative of the financial position or results of operations which may actually be obtained in the future. Future results may vary significantly from the results reflected in the unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations of the Company and its other retained subsidiaries due to general economic conditions and other factors. The pro forma consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company's historical financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998 and Quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 1999.
