INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Participants and
Administrator of the
Terra Industries Inc.
Employees' Savings and Investment Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the Terra Industries Inc. Employees' Savings and Investment Plan as
of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for benefits for the years then ended.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Terra Industries Inc.
Employees' Savings and Investment Plan as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and
the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of (1)
assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1994, and (2) reportable
transactions for the year ended December 31, 1994, are presented for purposes
of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements, but are supplementary information required by the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental information by fund
in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statements of
changes in net assets available for benefits is presented for the purpose of
additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for
benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits of the individual
funds.  The supplemental schedules and supplemental information by fund is the
responsibility of the Plan's management.  Such supplemental schedules and
supplemental information by fund have been subjected to our auditing procedures
applied in our audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion,
are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

     allocation of fund earnings.  A participant's benefit is limited to the
     amount that can be provided from the participant's account, subject to the
     applicable vesting requirements.

     CONTRIBUTIONS - Participants earning $66,000 and $64,245 or less annually
     in 1994 and 1993, respectively, could elect to contribute up to 10% of
     their annual compensation on a pretax basis and 10% on an after-tax basis.
     Participants earning more than $66,000 and $64,245 in 1994 and 1993,
     respectively, could contribute up to 6% of their annual compensation on a
     combined pretax and after-tax basis.

     The maximum participant pretax contribution was $9,240 in 1994 and $8,994
     in 1993.

     Participants may elect to invest their contributions in one or more of the
     five available participant directed investment options.

     EMPLOYER - The Company contributes an amount determined by its Board of
     Directors, currently equal to one half of the participants' contributions
     up to 6% of their annual compensation for both 1994 and 1993. The
     contributions made by the Company must be invested in the Terra Industries
     Inc. Common Stock Fund. The Company may elect to make an additional
     contribution, subject to certain limitations as defined in the Plan, in
     such amount as its Board of Directors shall determine. No such additional
     contributions were made in 1994 or 1993. Employer contributions are reduced
     by the amount of any participant forfeitures during the period. Participant
     forfeitures totaled to $196,592 and $34,819 in 1994 and 1993, respectively.

                                      -8-

    MAXIMUM CONTRIBUTIONS PER PARTICIPANT - The sum of a participant's
    contribution and employer matching contribution cannot exceed the lesser of
    $30,000 or 25% of net compensation of the participant.  Net compensation is
    defined as total participant compensation less any pretax contributions made
    by the participant.  Eligible compensation was limited to $150,000 and
    $235,840 in 1994 and 1993, respectively.

    VESTING - Participants are immediately fully vested in their contributions
    and earnings on their voluntary contributions.  Employer contributions vest
    at a rate of 20% per year, until fully vested after five years of service.

    PARTICIPANT LOANS - Participants may borrow from their individual
    contribution accounts subject to maximum limitations as defined in the Plan.
    Loan repayments are reinvested in the funds in accordance with the
    participant's investment election at the time of repayment.

    BENEFITS - Participants or their beneficiaries are eligible to receive the
    value of their vested account balance upon the occurrence of one of the
    following:  early or normal retirement; termination of employment; death or
    total disability.

B.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS - Investments, except for loans to
    participants, are reported at fair value, which is determined, in the
    case of Terra Industries Inc.'s Common Stock, from the latest available
    market quotations and, in the case of investments in mutual funds, at
    quoted net asset value.  Money market funds are reported at fair value
    as determined by the issuer and common funds are valued at the unit
    value as reported by the fund.  Dividend income is recorded on the ex-
    dividend date.  Participant loans are reported at the outstanding
    balance.


    The Plan has investments in six funds.  The net assets and net investment
    income of the funds are allocated to the participants in the Plan based upon
    each participant's participation relative to the total participation in each
    of the six investment funds.  A summary description of each investment fund
    follows:

       TERRA INDUSTRIES INC. COMMON STOCK FUND (EMPLOYER DIRECTED) - A fund 
       invested primarily in Terra Industries Inc. Common Stock which is 
       limited to employer contributions only.

       TERRA INDUSTRIES INC. VOLUNTARY COMMON STOCK FUND (PARTICIPANT 
       DIRECTED) - A fund invested primarily in Terra Industries Inc. Common
       Stock.

       EQUITY INCOME FUND (PARTICIPANT DIRECTED) - A fund invested primarily in
       shares of Vista Growth and Income Fund, which is comprised primarily of
       income producing equity securities and securities convertible into such
       equity securities.

       INTERMEDIATE FUND (PARTICIPANT DIRECTED) - A fund invested primarily in
       shares of Vista U.S. Government Income Fund, which is comprised
       primarily of debt obligations backed by the full faith and credit of the
       U.S. Government.

       STOCK FUND (PARTICIPANT DIRECTED) - A fund invested primarily in shares
       of Fidelity Magellan Fund, which is comprised primarily of common stocks
       and which seeks long-term capital appreciation.

       MONEY MARKET FUND (PARTICIPANT DIRECTED) - A fund invested primarily in
       shares of Vista U.S. Government Money Market Fund so as to preserve
       capital and maintain a high degree of liquidity.


                                      -9-
<PAGE>


    Investment transactions are recognized on a trade date basis. The net
    unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments is recognized in the
    statements of changes in net assets available for benefits. The fair value
    at the beginning of the plan year, or the purchased cost if acquired during
    the year, is used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of
    each investment.

    BENEFITS PAYABLE - The Plan's policy is to record benefit payments upon
    distribution of balances to participants.  Benefits due and unpaid to
    retired and terminated participants were $96,718 and $603,825 at December
    31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

    ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES - Administrative expenses are comprised of charges
    relating to routine services provided by the Plan's trustee and
    recordkeeping agent and fees associated with the annual audit of the Plan's
    financial statements.  Administrative expenses are allocated to the
    investment funds, other than the Terra Industries Inc. Common Stock Fund and
    the Terra Industries Inc. Voluntary Common Stock Fund, based upon the fair
    value of each fund's investment relative to the total fair value of all
    investment funds to which expenses are allocated.

C.  INVESTMENTS

    The fair value of the Plan's investments, other than loans to participants,
    by basis of valuation, are presented in the following tables. Investments
    that represent 5% or more of the Plan's investments are separately
    identified.

D.   PLAN TERMINATION
     
     Although it has expressed no intent to do so, the Company specifically
     reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan or to discontinue
     contributions at any time.  Upon termination, a participant's entire
     account will become fully vested and the assets shall be administered in
     the manner provided for in the Plan.
     
E.   FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS
     
     The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has ruled that the Plan, as established
     on January 1, 1984, meets the requirements of Section 401 (a) of the
     Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and is exempt from federal income taxes
     under Section 501 (a) of the Code. A determination letter to this effect
     has been received from the Internal Revenue Service, dated March, 1986. The
     Plan administrator believes that the Plan, as amended March 9, 1995, is in
     compliance with current regulations. Therefore, no provision for income
     taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements.

     Plan income, participant pretax contributions and employer contributions
     represent taxable income to the participating employees at the time of
     distribution in accordance with IRS regulations currently in effect.

F.   PLAN MERGER

     Effective December 31, 1994, the AMCI Employees' Savings Plan was merged
     into the Terra Industries Inc. Employees' Savings and Investment Plan as a
     result of the Company's acquisition of Agricultural Minerals and Chemicals,
     Inc. (AMCI). As a result of the merger of these plans, $11,972,827 was
     transferred into the Terra Industries Inc. Employees' Savings and
     Investment Plan. Subsequent to December 31, 1994, the assets of the merged
     plan, except for the GIC Fund, Vanguard Windsor Fund, and Participant
     Loans, were sold. The proceeds of the sale were reinvested in the five
     investment fund options available to participants (Note B). The GIC Fund, a
     fund invested primarily in guaranteed investment contracts so as to provide
     current income while maintaining a stable market valuation and the Vanguard
     Windsor Fund, a fund invested primarily of income producing equity
     securities, were added as additional investment fund options available to
     all participants effective January 1, 1995.
