Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
         ____________________________________
     On August 2, 1999, ClimaChem, 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
Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of LSB Industries, Inc.

     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.

            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.
