                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (unaudited)


1.       The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes
         thereto contain all adjustments necessary to summarize fairly the
         financial position of Terra Industries Inc. and all majority-owned
         subsidiaries (the Corporation) and the results of the Corporation's
         operations for the periods presented.   All such adjustments are of a
         normal recurring nature.  Because of the seasonal nature of the
         Corporation's operations and effects of weather-related conditions in
         several of its marketing areas, earnings of any single reporting
         period should not be considered as indicative of results for a full
         year.  These statements should be read in conjunction with the
         Corporation's 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders.

2.       Per-share data are based on the weighted average number of Common
         Shares that would become outstanding after allowing for the full
         exchange of Hudson Bay Mining and Smelting Co., Limited Special Shares
         held by the public and exercise of outstanding stock options.  All
         previously unexchanged Special Shares were automatically exchanged for
         Common Shares of the Corporation on July 6, 1993.

3.       Inventories consisted of the following:

</TABLE>

4.       The Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries are involved in
         various legal actions and claims, including environmental matters,
         arising during the normal course of business.  Although it is not
         possible to predict with any certainty the outcome of such matters, it
         is the opinion of management that these matters will not have a
         material adverse effect on the Corporation.

5.       On April 8, 1993, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation, Terra
         International (Canada) Inc. (Terra Canada) purchased working capital
         and acquired rights to an anhydrous ammonia production and related
         upgrading facilities located at Courtright, Ontario (the nitrogen
         plant) effective as of March 31, 1993.  In addition, Terra Canada
         purchased interests in 32 farm service centers.  Thirty of the service
         centers are owned by corporations in which Terra Canada has a 50%
         interest; the remaining two centers are wholly owned by Terra Canada.
         The assets and liabilities as of March 31, 1993 are reflected in the
         Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.  Operating results for
         the first quarter of 1993, prior to the date of acquisition, are not
         included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six
         months ended June 30, 1993.

         On December 31, 1993, Terra International, Inc. purchased net assets
         of certain operations of Asgrow Florida Company, Inc. (Asgrow
         Florida), a distributor of fertilizer, chemicals and seed.  Asgrow
         Florida operated 12 distribution centers and was a supplier to the
         vegetable and ornamental markets, mostly in Florida.

                                                                               6

         Terra Canada's and Asgrow Florida's operating results are included in
         the Consolidated Statements of Operations for 1994.  The following
         table represents unaudited pro forma summary results of operations 
         as if both acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of 1993:

               Net income                                 $  39,615            $ 31,847
               Net income per share                       $    0.57            $   0.46
               ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

         The pro forma operating results were adjusted to include lease expense
         rather than depreciation for the nitrogen plant, increased costs of
         seed sales, amortization of intangibles, interest expense on the
         acquisition borrowings and the effect of income taxes.

         The pro forma information listed above does not purport to be
         indicative of the results that would have been obtained if the
         operations were combined during the above periods, and is not intended
         to be a projection of future operating results or trends.

6.       During March 1994, the Corporation redeemed $72.1 million of 8.5%
         Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2012 at the required
         redemption price of 103.4% of par value.  During the 20-day notice
         period, holders of $5.9 million chose to convert their debentures into
         Common Stock of the Corporation at the conversion price of $8.083 per
         Common Share.  The Corporation issued 730,768 Common Shares and paid
         cash for fractional shares.  The Corporation funded the redemption
         from available cash balances and short-term credit lines.  The
         Corporation may issue, subject to market conditions, new, long-term
         convertible debt in an amount which would exceed the debt redeemed.

7.       During March 1994, the Corporation entered into an agreement to sell
         its receivables.  Under this agreement, which expires March 31, 1996,
         the Corporation may sell an undivided interest in a designated pool of
         its accounts receivable and receive $50 million in proceeds.
         Undivided interests in new receivables may be sold as collections
         reduce previously sold interests.  The undivided interests are sold at
         a discount that is included in selling, general and administrative
         expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.  As of June 30,
         1994, $50 million in proceeds had been received under this agreement.


                                                                               7

Second quarter 1994 net income of $47.9 million was $8.3 million favorable to
the $39.6 million net income in the second quarter of 1993.  The Corporation's
operations are seasonal, coincident with crop plantings, which generally
results in high second quarter earnings, and losses or low earnings in the
other three quarters.

The Corporation's operations are classified into two major categories --
Distribution and Manufactured Fertilizer.  Total revenues and pretax income for
the three months ended June 30, 1994, and 1993 by major operating category were
as follows:

=========================================================================================
</TABLE>

Distribution second quarter 1994 revenues of $743.2 million increased $168.2
million from 1993 levels due to increased agricultural chemicals and
fertilizers sales volumes and a $17.1 million sales increase in Florida due
principally to the Asgrow acquisition completed in December 1993.  Sales
volumes were higher than the 1993 second quarter due to increased planted
acreage and favorable weather conditions in the current period in contrast to
the excessive ground moisture and below normal temperatures in 1993, which
delayed field work across most of the Corporation's market areas.  Sales also
increased because of the number of sales people and locations added during the
past year.  Distribution second quarter pretax income of $63.1 million was
$17.9 million higher than in 1993 due to the increased sales levels, partially
offset by higher selling and administrative expenses.  Selling and
administrative expenses increased $9.4 million due  principally to new
locations, normal wage increases, and sales force additions.

Manufactured Fertilizer revenues of $83.3 million during the 1994 second
quarter decreased $4.4 million from 1993 due to favorable weather enabling
early field work during the first quarter of 1994 compared with later field
work in 1993.  Second quarter 1994 operating income for the Manufactured
Fertilizer business was $1.4 million more than the same period in 1993
principally as the result of higher selling prices which increased an average
4% over 1993 levels.  Pricing gains were partially offset by sales volumes 11%
under the prior year and increased production costs.

For the three months ended June 30, 1994, interest expense totaled $2.9 million
compared with $3.6 million for the same period in 1993.  The $0.7 million
decrease in interest expense was primarily due to the redemption of the
convertible subordinated debentures during the first quarter.


                                                                               8

Second quarter 1994 income taxes were provided at an estimated annual effective
rate of 37.2% versus 28.0% in the 1993 second quarter.  The lower rate in 1993
resulted from the utilization of previously unrecognized capital loss
carryforwards.

                 SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994, COMPARED WITH
                         SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1993

The Corporation recorded income before extraordinary item of $41.6 million,
$0.59 per share, on revenues of $1,077.8 million for the first half of 1994,
compared with income before extraordinary item of $30.8 million,  $0.45 per
share, on revenues of $820.3 million for the same period in 1993.

The net income after extraordinary loss on early retirement of debt was $39.0
million, or $0.55 per share for the first half of 1994, compared with net
income of $30.8 million, or $0.45 per share for the same period in 1993.  An
extraordinary loss of $2.6 million, net of federal income taxes, was realized
on the redemption of outstanding 8.5% convertible debentures and included a
3.4% redemption premium and unamortized issue costs.

Total revenues and pretax income for the six months ended June 30, 1994 and
1993 by major operating category were as follows:

</TABLE>

Distribution first half 1994 revenues of $949.6 million increased $239.5
million from the 1993 comparable period primarily due to increased selling
prices for products and higher sales volumes and a $40.2 million sales increase
in Florida resulting primarily from the Asgrow acquisition completed in
December 1993. Gross profits increased $35.7 million reflecting higher sales
volumes of distributed fertilizers and improved chemical volumes and margins.
Selling expenses increased $15.9 million and were primarily attributable to
normal wage increases and higher employment levels from locations added in the
prior year.

Manufactured Fertilizer revenues of $137.5 million for the 1994 first half
increased $17.0 million from the comparable period in 1993 due principally to
acquisition of the Courtright nitrogen plant at the end of March 1993 and
higher selling prices and sales volumes.  The Courtright nitrogen plant
contributed $57.9 million to 1994 first half revenues compared with $42.7
million in the 1993 first half.  Pretax income increased $3.4 million
principally due to selling prices which increased an average 6% over prior
years levels.  Price increases were partially offset by higher manufacturing
costs resulting from a 12% increase to natural gas costs.

Net non-operating expenses, comprised of corporate administrative expenses and
interest expense net of interest income, decreased $0.9 million to $7.8 million
in 1994 due to the redemption of the 8.5% convertible subordinated debentures.
The estimated annual effective tax rate increased from 28.0% during 1993 to
37.2% in 1994 due to utilization of previously unrecognized capital loss
carryforwards in 1993.


                                                                               9

                 CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION SINCE YEAR-END


The Corporation used $17.8 million in cash to fund operations during the first
half of 1994 primarily due to seasonal increases in accounts receivable.
Short-term borrowings increased $100.0 million to fund seasonal working capital
requirements and retirement of long-term debt.  The redemption of the 8.5%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures utilized $68.7 million of cash, which
management may replenish through a new securities offering.

Capital expenditures of $21.0 million in the first six months of 1994 compare
to $13.4 million for the same period in 1993.  The 1994 capital expenditures
include $8.6 million for the completion of the methanol manufacturing plant at
the Woodward, Oklahoma manufacturing facility.  Completion of the project with
the start-up of production and sales of methanol occurred during the second
quarter.

Cash used for acquisitions includes an $8.1 million payment on working capital
acquired with the Asgrow Florida purchase and $5.7 million represents payments
made on six acquisitions of additional service centers.

During June 1994, the Corporation announced it had signed a letter of intent to
acquire a one-third interest in Royster-Clark, Inc., which has annual sales of
approximately $200 million and operates over 100 farm service centers on the
east coast.  The Corporation will have the right under certain circumstances to
increase its ownership to a majority holder within five years.  Subject to due
diligence and execution of definitive agreements, the Corporation may fund the
payment from available cash and unused credit lines.

Proceeds of $50 million were received from the agreement to sell receivables
that the Corporation entered into during March 1994.  The funds were used to
reduce seasonal borrowings and for general corporate purposes.  The cash
proceeds were reported as operating cash flows in the Consolidated Statements
of Cash Flows.

The $19.0 million decrease in non-current deferred tax assets represents the
estimated utilization of NOL carryforwards that are available to offset a
portion of current year federal income taxes.

The Corporation had unused domestic credit lines of $74.0 million and unused
Canadian credit lines of $14.0 million at June 30, 1994.  The Corporation
believes its cash balances and credit lines are sufficient to provide for its
ongoing working capital requirements.  The Corporation intends to continue to
evaluate attractive acquisition opportunities.  In the event any major
acquisition is made, the Corporation may seek to obtain additional funds from
future debt financings or offerings of equity securities.
