Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

        On December 12, 2002, Slurry Explosive Corporation ("SEC") and Universal Tech Corporation ("UTeC"), each an Oklahoma corporation and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of LSB Industries, Inc. (the "Company") (SEC and UTeC, collectively, are the "Sellers") consummated the sale (the "Sale") by Sellers of substantially all of their assets to four wholly owned subsidiaries of Energetic Systems Inc., LLC (ESI"), a Nevada limited liability company (collectively, the "Buyers"), pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated December 6, 2002 (the "Purchase Agreement").

        The assets sold by the Sellers comprised of substantially all of the explosives distribution business within the Company's chemical business. SEC and one of the four Buyers jointly own Slurry Explosive Manufacturing Corporation. During 2001 and the first nine months of 2002, the Sellers' revenues were approximately $22 million and $7.4 million, respectively.

        The purchase price ("Purchase Price") paid by the Buyers to the Sellers under the Purchase Agreement at the closing of the Sale was approximately $10.2 million, determined by a base price of $7 million, plus approximately $2.7 for inventory and accounts receivable and $425,000 of assumed liabilities under an equipment lease. Of the proceeds from the Sale, (a) approximately $250,000 was placed in escrow, (b) approximately $3.5 million was paid to a term lender, and (c) the balance of the proceeds were applied against the Company's revolving line of credit. On or about March 4, 2003, the portion of the escrow funds equal to the amount of the accounts receivable purchased by the Buyers that are not collected will be paid to the Buyers, and the balance of the escrow funds will be released to the Sellers. In connection with the disbursement of the escrow funds, the Buyers will assign such uncollected accounts receivable to the Sellers.

        The Company may, from time to time, borrow funds under its revolving line of credit based on the amount of eligible collateral. Immediately after the pay down under the Company's revolving line of credit, the unused borrowing availability under the credit facility was approximately $8.2 million based on eligible collateral as of that date.

LSB Industries, Inc.
Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
December 12, 2002

    On December 12, 2002 LSB Industries, Inc., (the "Company") and its subsidiaries, Slurry Explosive Corporation ('SEC") and Universal Technology Corporation ("UTeC") completed an agreement to sell substantially all the assets of SEC and UTeC (collectively, "SEC/UTeC"). Under the agreement, SEC/UTeC retains all of their liabilities, except liabilities for the financing of certain property and equipment, and will liquidate such liabilities retained from the proceeds of the sale (the "Transaction").

    The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2002 gives effect to the Transaction involving the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries SEC/UTeC, as if it had occurred on September 30, 2002. The accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2001 and the nine months ended September 30, 2002 give effect to the sale and realization of the assets of SEC/UTeC as if the Transaction had occurred as of January 1, 2001. 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, 2001 and Quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.
