Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

ClimaChem, Inc. (the "Company") is a wholly owned subsidiary of LSB Industries, Inc. ("LSB"). On August 23, 2000, a wholly owned subsidiary (the "Subsidiary") of LSB and Orica USA, Inc. ("Orica") entered into a letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement") wherein the Subsidiary agreed to acquire certain assets comprising LaRoche Industries, Inc.'s ("LaRoche") ammonium nitrate manufacturing business located in Cherokee, Alabama and Crystal City, Missouri (the "Assets") in the event Orica was the successful bidder in a bankruptcy court managed action of the nitrogen products manufacturing business of LaRoche. The bankruptcy court approved the sale of LaRoche's nitrogen manufacturing business to Orica. Pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement, Orica and its wholly owned subsidiary assigned to subsidiaries of LSB its right to purchase all of the Assets directly from LaRoche, effective October 31, 2000.

The Assets consist of two chemical plants: one located in Cherokee, Alabama ("Cherokee Plant") and the other located in Crystal City, Missouri ("Crystal City Plant"). The Assets also include all inventory, machinery and equipment, and real property, associated with the two chemical plants. A subsidiary of the Company leases the Crystal City Plant and the Cherokee Plant from two LSB subsidiaries, which are not subsidiaries of the Company. The Crystal City Plant will not be operated and is currently being shut down. The Crystal City lease is for six months and requires the subsidiary to maintain the facility for product storage and distribution purposes. The Cherokee Plant is being operated on at least a temporary basis and the lease is for one year and requires monthly lease payments of $175,000. The leases include most, but not all, of the Assets. The terms of the acquisition are more fully described in the Form 8-K dated October 31, 2000.
