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. 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 1994 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 exercise of
outstanding stock options.

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 results
of operations, financial position or cash flows of the Corporation.
5. On October 20, 1994, the Corporation acquired Agricultural Minerals and
Chemicals Inc. ("AMCI") for $400 million plus a working capital adjustment
of $102 million. The Consolidated Statements of Operations include the
operating results of AMCI subsequent to the acquisition. AMCI, through its
subsidiaries, manufactured nitrogen-based fertilizers and industrial use
products and methanol. The subsidiaries controlled by the Corporation as a
result of the AMCI acquisition include Terra Nitrogen Corporation ("TNC")
and Beaumont Methanol, Limited Partnership ("BMLP"). TNC has a 60.2
percent ownership interest in Terra Nitrogen Company, L.P. ("TNCLP"),
formerly Agricultural Minerals Company, L.P., which operates nitrogen
products manufacturing facilities in Verdigris, Oklahoma and Blytheville,
Arkansas through an investment in an operating partnership, Terra Nitrogen,
Limited Partnership ("TNLP"), formerly Agricultural Minerals, Limited
Partnership. BMLP operates a methanol production facility in Beaumont,
Texas. The excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets
acquired is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 18 years which is
estimated to be the average remaining useful life of the manufacturing
plants acquired.
To finance the acquisition of AMCI, the Corporation issued 9.7 million
Common Shares for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $113 million,
entered into credit arrangements to issue $310 million of long-term debt,
and refinanced certain bank debt and credit lines of the Corporation, AMCI
and AMCI's subsidiaries aggregating $260 million of which $152 million in
borrowings were outstanding. The Corporation used $40 million of the new
debt issue to refinance short-term bank debt. The credit agreement
initially provided for a $175 million revolving line of credit for use by
Terra International, Inc. and BMLP and a $50 million revolving line of
credit for TNLP. As a result of the acquisition of AMCI, the Corporation
also assumed AMCI's obligations under its $175 million in aggregate
principal of 10.75% Senior Notes due 2003.

<PAGE>
The following table represents unaudited pro forma summary results of
operations as if the acquisition of AMCI had occurred at the beginning of
1994:

</TABLE>
The pro forma operating results were adjusted to include depreciation of
the fair value of capital assets acquired based on estimated useful lives
at the acquisition date, amortization of intangibles, reduction of
incentive compensation expense for plans terminated at acquisition,
interest expense on the acquisition borrowings, the issuance of common
stock 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.
On September 15, 1994, the Corporation acquired an approximate one-third
interest in Royster-Clark, Inc. for $12 million in cash. Royster-Clark
is a 100-location distributor of crop input and protection products in the
mid-Atlantic region. The Corporation accounts for its investment under the
equity method, and its share of Royster-Clark's results of operations is
included in equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates.
6. BMLP entered into a methanol hedging agreement (the Methanol Hedging
Agreement) effective October 1994. Pursuant to the agreement, BMLP received
$4 million in cash and agreed to make payments to the extent that average
methanol prices exceed the sum of $0.65 per gallon plus 0.113 times the
average spot price index, in cents per MMBtu for natural gas during the
periods October 20, 1994 to December 31, 1995, calendar year 1996, and
calendar year 1997. Payments are due five days after the end of each
period. The quantities subject to the agreement for each of these periods
are 155.5 million, 140 million and 130 million gallons, respectively.
BMLP's methanol production facility has a production capacity of 280
million gallons of methanol per year.
The $4 million received pursuant to the Methanol Hedging Agreement is being
recognized as income over the term of the agreement. Accruals for payments
are recorded as a reduction of revenue. As of June 30, 1995, $20.6 million
has been recorded as payable under the Methanol Hedging Agreement based on
average prices, for the period October 20, 1994 through June 30, 1995. The
actual amount that will be paid is dependent upon average methanol and
natural gas prices during each of the periods. The fair value of the
agreement, representing the amount that BMLP would expect to pay at
June 30, 1995 to liquidate the agreement for its remaining term, is
approximately $3.3 million based on a management estimate.
7. On December 13, 1994 the Corporation's Port Neal Facility in Iowa was
extensively damaged by an explosion. As of the date of loss, insurance was
in force to cover damage to the Corporation's property, business
interruption and third party liability claims. The Corporation recognized a
$7 million pre-tax charge against 1994 earnings to cover its aggregate
expected unrecoverable expenses associated with the incident, including
deductibles and uninsured costs. The Corporation expects to recognize a
substantial non-recurring gain, representing the difference between the
property insurance settlement with the Company's insurers and the carrying
value of the facility at the time of the explosion. The non-recurring gain
will be recorded when the amount of the property insurance settlement is
finalized.
7
<PAGE>
8. The Corporation's natural gas procurement policy is to fix or cap the price
of approximately 40-80% of its natural gas requirements for a 12-month
period through various forward pricing techniques. Depending on market
conditions, the Corporation may also fix or cap the price of natural gas
for longer periods of time. The Corporation has entered into forward
pricing positions for the purchase of natural gas amounting to
approximately 73% of natural gas volumes for the remainder of 1995, 57% for
1996 and 30% for 1997. As a result of its policies, the Corporation has
limited the potential adverse financial impact of natural gas price
increases during the forward pricing period, but conversely, if natural gas
prices were to fall, the Corporation will incur higher costs. Unrealized
losses from forward pricing positions totaled $18 million as of June 30,
1995.
9. During June 1995, the Corporation issued $200 million of 10.5% Senior Notes
due June 15, 2005, in part to finance purchases of up to five million of
the 7.6 million Senior Preference Units ("SPUs"), representing a 39.8%
partnership interest in the acquired nitrogen business. Under terms of the
Corporation's bank credit agreement, net proceeds of the issue not used by
December 31, 1995 to purchase SPUs, must be used to prepay outstanding
long-term bank debt entered into in connection with the AMCI acquisition.
The Corporation recently announced that on September 1, 1995 it will prepay
up to $190 million of outstanding long-term bank debt to the extent these
funds are not used by that date to purchase SPUs. After the September
reduction in long-term bank debt, the Corporation would finance any further
purchases of SPUs in the open market with available cash or debt. The note
indenture contains restrictions similar to those for the 10.75% Senior
Notes assumed in connection with the AMCI acquisition.
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.
10. 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 up to $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, 1995, $50.0 million
in proceeds had been received under this agreement.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------
QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED WITH
QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1994
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
The Corporation reported net income of $85.1 million, or $1.05 per share, on
revenues of $1.0 billion for the second quarter of 1995 compared with net income
of $47.9 million, or $0.68 per share, on revenues of $818.3 million in 1994. The
1995 results include the operations formerly owned by Agricultural Minerals and
Chemicals Inc. ("AMCI"), which was acquired by the Corporation on October 20,
1994. The AMCI acquisition added approximately $146.5 million to revenues and
$49.9 million to operating income during the 1995 second quarter. Excluding the
impact of the acquisition, revenues increased $47.5 million, or 6%, and
operating income increased $21.1 million, or 27%, over the comparable quarter in
1994 primarily resulting from improved selling prices for nitrogen products
caused by tight supplies.
The Corporation operates in three business segments: Distribution, Nitrogen
Products and Methanol. The Distribution segment includes sales of products
purchased from manufacturers, including the Corporation. Distribution revenues
are derived primarily from grower and dealer customers through sales of
chemicals, fertilizers, seed and related services. The Nitrogen Products
segment represents only those operations directly related to the wholesale sales
of nitrogen products produced at the Corporation's five ammonia manufacturing
and upgrading facilities. The Methanol segment represents wholesale sales of
methanol produced at the Corporation's two methanol manufacturing facilities.
Total revenues and operating income for the Corporation's three business
segments for the three-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 were as

<PAGE>
The pro forma results of operations have been prepared to give effect to the
Corporation's (i) acquisition of AMCI, (ii) issuance of 9.7 million Common
Shares, and (iii) borrowing under a new credit agreement entered into in
connection with the acquisition, assuming that all such transactions had
occurred on January 1, 1994. The pro forma financial data are presented for
informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the results
that actually would have been obtained if the transactions had occurred on
January 1, 1994. In addition, the pro forma results are not intended to be a
projection of future operating results or trends.
DISTRIBUTION
Distribution revenues of $775.1 million during the 1995 second quarter increased
$31.9 million, or 5%, over 1994 revenues of the comparable quarter. The revenue
increase relates primarily to higher selling prices for nitrogen fertilizers and
increased chemical revenues due to normal price increases. Distributed
fertilizer revenues were $11.9 million higher than in the second quarter of
1994. Increased prices added $26.9 million to revenues while reduced volumes
offset $15.0 million of the price increase. Chemical revenues were $10.9
million higher than in the same 1994 period due, in part, to expansion of the
distribution network, despite wet field conditions prevailing during the first
half of the 1995 second quarter. Seed and other sales and services increased
$9.1 million as a result of expansion of the distribution network.
Operating income for the Distribution business totaled $71.0 million in 1995
compared with $63.1 million for the prior year. Increased chemical margins
accounted for a $9.1 million increase in gross profits. Income from fertilizer
sales was $1.4 million higher in 1995 than for the same period in 1994. The
increase was due to higher selling prices as noted above, offset by reduced
volumes and increased costs. The operating income improvements were partially
offset by a $5.8 million increase in selling and administrative expenses. The
increase in expenses included $1.5 million for compensation costs resulting from
additional personnel due to expansion of the distribution network and normal
wage increases. Equipment leasing, facility costs, and operating and
maintenance expenses increased $2.1 million. The Distribution business is
seasonal, coincident with crop plantings, which generally results in higher
earnings in the second quarter compared with other periods during the year.
NITROGEN PRODUCTS
Revenues of the Nitrogen Products business increased $111.8 million for the
second quarter of 1995 compared with the same period of 1994. The acquisition of
AMCI contributed $104.5 million to the revenue increase. Excluding the effect of
the acquisition, revenues increased $7.3 million, or 9%, from the year earlier
period due to increased selling prices for nitrogen fertilizers. Production of
nitrogen fertilizer was reduced during the 1995 second quarter by conversion of
approximately 30% of the Woodward, Oklahoma plant capacity from ammonia to
methanol production. Nitrogen Products revenues were reduced approximately $15
million due to the loss of production at the Port Neal nitrogen manufacturing
plant from the December 1994 explosion. The plant's ammonia production
facilities are expected to be operational in the fall of 1995, and upgrade
production facilities are expected to be fully operational in the first half of
1996.
Operating earnings for Nitrogen Products were $90.4 million in the second
quarter of 1995 compared with $16.8 million in the 1994 second quarter. The
AMCI acquisition accounts for $47.3 million of the increase. Excluding the
acquisition, operating earnings increased $26.3 million due to price increases
of $24.6 million and lower gas costs of $3.3 million. The increased operating
income was partially offset by increased costs for salaries and wages and
maintenance expenses.

<PAGE>
METHANOL
The Corporation's Methanol business revenues were $47.7 million in the second
quarter of 1995 compared with $2.6 million in 1994. The acquisition of AMCI
added $42.1 million to revenues and the remainder resulted from increased sales
volumes of methanol produced at the Corporation's Woodward manufacturing
facilities which began methanol production in the 1994 second quarter. The
Corporation's Beaumont plant, a former AMCI facility, was not operational for 28
days during the 1995 second quarter due to a scheduled maintenance turnaround.
Operating income for the segment was $13.9 million in 1995 compared with $1.0
million in 1994. The AMCI acquisition contributed $12.1 million of the
increase. Increased sales volumes for the Woodward plant added $2.2 million to
operating earnings but lower prices compared with the prior year offset $1.8
million of the increase. The sharp decline in methanol prices continued in the
second quarter of 1995 from the unprecedented high levels in late 1994. Average
realized prices, including the effect of the methanol hedge agreement (see Note
8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), were $0.57 per gallon compared with
$1.14 in the 1994 fourth quarter and $0.98 in the first quarter of 1995.
OTHER OPERATING EXPENSE - NET
Other operating expense was $2.8 million in the 1995 second quarter compared
with $2.2 million in the comparable 1994 period. Other expense includes
expenses not directly related to individual business segments, including certain
insurance coverages, corporate finance fees and other costs.
INTEREST EXPENSE - NET
Interest expense, net of interest income, totaled $13.0 million in 1995 compared
with $1.8 million in 1994. The increase is primarily the result of assumption of
$158.8 million in long-term debt and issuance of $270 million of additional
debt, both in connection with the acquisition of AMCI. At the end of the 1995
second quarter, the Corporation issued $200 million of additional long-term
Senior Notes. The net proceeds of the debt issue will be used to finance open
market purchases of Senior Preference Units of TNCLP, a subsidiary of the
Corporation, or repay other long-term debt.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED WITH
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
The Corporation reported net income of $118.0 million, or $1.45 per share, on
revenues of $1.45 billion for the first six months of 1995 compared with net
income of $42.4 million, or $0.60 per share, on revenues of $1.08 billion in the
first six months of 1994. The AMCI acquisition added approximately $290.6
million to net revenue and $104.0 million to operating income during the 1995
first half. Excluding the impact of the acquisition, revenues increased $63.2
million, or 6%, and operating income increased $30.8 million, or 46%, over the
comparable period in 1994 primarily resulting from improved selling prices for
nitrogen products caused by tight supplies. Overall, operating income
improvements are primarily attributable to higher prices for nitrogen products
and methanol, combined with lower natural gas costs.

The pro forma results of operations have been prepared on a comparable basis as
discussed above for the three-month period ended June 30, 1994. The pro forma
financial data is presented for informational purposes only and are not
necessarily indicative of the results that actually would have been obtained if
the transactions had occurred on January 1, 1994. In addition, the pro forma
results are not intended to be a projection of future operating results or
trends.
DISTRIBUTION
Revenues for the Distribution business were $1.0 billion in the 1995 first half,
or $63.9 million higher than 1994 revenues for the comparable period. The
revenue increase is related to improved 1995 selling prices for nitrogen
fertilizers which averaged 13% higher than in the 1994 first half and increased
chemical revenues due to normal price increases. Distributed fertilizer
revenues were $32.3 million higher than in the first six months of 1994 due
principally to increased prices. Chemical revenues were $20.9 million higher
than in 1994, and seed and other sales and services increased $10.6 million as a
result of expansion of the distribution network.
Operating income for the Distribution business totaled $56.4 million in 1995
compared with $50.2 million for the prior year. Increased margins on chemical
sales contributed $9.6 million to the increase in gross profits for 1995. Gross
profit on fertilizer sales was $3.9 million higher for 1995 than in the first
half of 1994. The increase in product gross profits was partially offset by a
$12.4 million increase in selling and administrative expenses. The increase in
expenses included $4.0 million for compensation costs resulting from additional
headcount and normal wage increases. Equipment leasing, facility costs, and
operating and maintenance expenses increased $2.1 million.
NITROGEN PRODUCTS
Nitrogen Products business revenues were $339.7 million in the first half of
1995 compared with $134.9 million in the first half of 1994. The acquisition of
AMCI contributed revenues of $194.2 million. Excluding the acquisition, revenues
increased $10.6 million compared with the 1994 first half. The increase in
revenues during 1995 was the result of higher selling prices which averaged 34%
above the
12
<PAGE>
1994 average for the same period. Revenues were reduced approximately $25
million due to loss of Port Neal production from the December 1994 explosion.
Operating income for Nitrogen Products was $147.8 million compared with $23.8
million in the first six months of 1994. The AMCI acquisition accounted for
$84.6 million of the increase. Excluding the acquisition, operating earnings
increased $39.4 million due primarily to price increases of $36.0 million and
lower gas costs of $8.0 million.
METHANOL
Methanol revenues were $113.6 million in 1995 compared with $2.6 million for the
first six months of 1994. The acquisition of AMCI added $96.4 million to
revenues while the remainder resulted primarily from increased sales volumes of
methanol produced at the Corporation's Woodward manufacturing facilities which
began methanol production in April 1994.
Methanol operating income for the 1995 first half was $53.5 million compared
with $1.0 million in 1994. The AMCI acquisition contributed $43.4 million of
the increase. Increased sales volumes from the Woodward plant added $4.9
million to operating earnings and higher average prices added another $3.6
million. Average realized prices, including the effect of the methanol hedge
agreement (see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), were $0.75 per
gallon compared with $0.65 in 1994.
OTHER OPERATING EXPENSE - NET
Other operating expense was $3.3 million in the first half of 1995 compared with
$4.1 million in 1994. The reduction to other expense is primarily related to
reduced incentive compensation costs tied to the market value of the
Corporation's stock.
INTEREST EXPENSE - NET
Net interest expense was $24.4 million in 1995 compared with $3.9 million in
1994. The higher expense is the result of additional debt issued and assumed in
connection with the acquisition of AMCI.
INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense was recorded at an effective rate of 41.5% for the first six
months of 1995 compared with 37.9% in the 1994 first half. The increased rate
results from amortization of goodwill from the AMCI acquisition which is not
deductible for tax purposes.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
--------------------------------
The Corporation's primary uses for cash are to fund its working capital needs,
make payments on its indebtedness and other obligations, make quarterly
distributions to partners in the acquired nitrogen business, make quarterly
dividends to stockholders and make capital expenditures. Its principal sources
of funds are cash flow from operations and borrowings. The Corporation believes
that cash from operations and available financing sources will be sufficient to
meet anticipated cash requirements for seasonal operating needs, minority
distributions, debt repayments, capital expenditures and expansion strategies.
13
<PAGE>
On March 27, 1995 the Corporation announced its offer to purchase the Senior
Preference Units (SPUs) representing a 39.8% partnership interest in the
Corporation's acquired nitrogen business for $30 per unit of TNCLP, or
approximately $230 million. The Corporation and an independent committee of the
Board of Directors of Terra Nitrogen Corporation ("TNC") designated to represent
the holders of the SPUs were unable to reach an agreement on price and, on May
11, 1995, the Corporation withdrew its offer. On May 11, 1995, the Board of
Directors of the Corporation approved an open market purchase program pursuant
to which the Corporation may purchase up to five million SPUs from time to time
at prices and in quantities determined by the Corporation's management. In late
June, 125,000 units were acquired by the Corporation for $3.6 million. The
Corporation issued $200 million of 10.5% Senior Notes in June, in part to fund
the open market purchases. The Corporation recently announced that on
September 1, 1995 it will prepay up to $190 million of outstanding long-term
bank debt to the extent these funds are not used by that date to purchase SPUs.
After the September reduction in long-term bank debt, the Corporation would
finance any further purchases of SPUs in the open market with available cash or
debt.
Cash used in operations for the 1995 first half totaled $27.1 million due to
seasonal increases in accounts receivable balances and inventory. Cash and
short-term investments increased $42.6 million principally the result of receipt
of 10.5% Senior Note proceeds.
Cash used for acquisitions includes a $6.1 million payment as a final valuation
for working capital balances purchased in connection with the Corporation's
acquisition of AMCI and $6.1 million paid to acquire new locations for the
Corporation's distribution network. Investments in plant and equipment totaled
$77.0 million, including $53.1 million in connection with the Port Neal plant
rebuild. The Corporation expects 1995 capital expenditures, exclusive of
amounts to be recovered by insurance coverage, to approximate $70 million
consisting of the expansion of service centers, routine replacement of
equipment, and efficiency improvements at manufacturing facilities including
approximately $30 million for expansion and design improvements at the Port Neal
facility.
During the quarter, the Corporation distributed $1.14 per unit, or $8.7 million,
to minority unitholders in the acquired nitrogen business and paid the
Corporation's quarterly dividend of $0.02 per share which totaled $1.6 million.
The Corporation announced a third quarter distribution of $1.73 per unit, or
$13.0 million, to minority unitholders and an increase in its regular quarterly
dividend to $0.03 per share, or $2.4 million, for the 1995 third quarter.
Cash balances at June 30, 1995 were $201.0 million of which $9.6 million is used
to collateralize letters of credit supporting recorded liabilities. Cash
balances together with cash generated from operations during the second half of
1995 is expected to be adequate to meet normal business requirements and pay
down debt.
