NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
(unaudited)
1. | Financial Statement Presentation | |
Basis of Presentation | ||
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contain all adjustments necessary, in the opinion of management, to summarize fairly the financial position of Terra Industries Inc. and all majority-owned subsidiaries (“Terra”, “the Company”, “our” “we” and “us”) and the results of operations for the periods presented. Because of the seasonal nature of our operations and effects of weather-related conditions in several of its marketing areas, results of any interim reporting period should not be considered as indicative of results for a full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K to Shareholders. | ||
Revenue Recognition | ||
Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, no obligations remain and collectibility is probable. | ||
Revenues are primarily comprised of sales of our nitrogen-based products, including any realized hedging gains or losses related to nitrogen product derivatives, and are reduced by estimated discounts and trade allowances. We classify amounts directly or indirectly billed to our customers for shipping and handling as revenue. | ||
Cost of Sales | ||
Cost of sales are primarily manufacturing costs related to our nitrogen-based products, including any realized hedging gains or losses related to natural gas derivatives. We classify amounts directly or indirectly billed for delivery of products to our customers or our terminals as cost of sales. | ||
Derivatives and Financial Instruments | ||
We enter into derivative financial instruments, including swaps, basis swaps, and options, to manage the effect of changes in natural gas costs and to manage the prices of our nitrogen products. We report the fair value of the derivatives on our balance sheet. If the derivative is not designated as a hedging instrument, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings in the period of change. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, and to the extent such hedge is determined to be effective, changes in fair value are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the period of change, and subsequently recognized in cost of sales in the period the offsetting hedged transaction occurs. | ||
Segment Reporting | ||
We review our reportable industry segments based upon the guidance provided in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 131,Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information(“SFAS 131”). The methanol industry segment does not meet the quantitative thresholds of SFAS 131 because we have reclassified the Beaumont, Texas related assets and liabilities as held for sale and have included earnings related to these assets in discontinued operations as required by SFAS 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets(“SFAS 144”). As a wholesale nitrogen producer we are no longer reporting industry segments in a separate disclosure because the only reportable industry segment is nitrogen. |

Table of Contents
Inventories | ||
Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or estimated net realizable value. We perform a monthly analysis of our inventory balances to determine if the carrying amount of inventories exceeds its net realizable value. The analysis of estimated realizable value is based on customer orders, market trends, and historical pricing. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated net realizable value, the carrying amount is reduced to the estimated net realizable value. | ||
Production costs include the cost of direct labor and materials, depreciation and amortization, and overhead costs related to manufacturing activity. The cost of inventories is determined using the first- in, first-out method. | ||
We estimate a reserve for obsolescence and excess of our materials and supplies inventory. Inventory is stated net of the reserve. | ||
Plant Turnaround Costs | ||
Costs incurred for the periodic scheduled major maintenance of continuous process production facilities (plant turnarounds) are deferred and charged to product costs on a straight-line basis during the period until the next scheduled turnaround, generally two years. These costs are directly related to and associated with the turnaround to replace or extend the useful life of worn major equipment and electronic system controls for items such as compressors, heat exchangers, pumps, valves, catalysts, piping, motors and other items. | ||
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | ||
We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized based on the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset. | ||
Use of Estimates in Preparation of the Financial Statements | ||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | ||
2. | Discontinued Operations | |
During 2007, we entered into an agreement for Eastman Chemical Company to purchase our Beaumont, Texas assets, including the methanol and ammonia production facilities. We anticipate closing the sale on or before January 1, 2009. In connection with this sales agreement, we evaluated our Beaumont facility for impairment. We determined that this facility’s carrying values were impaired and we recorded a $39 million impairment charge in the third quarter of 2007. |

Table of Contents
Pursuant to the requirements of SFAS 144, we classified and accounted for certain assets as held for sale as the anticipated sales date is within one year. SFAS 144 requires that assets held for sale are valued on an asset-by-asset basis at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. In applying those provisions, we considered cash flow analyses, and offers related to those assets. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 144, assets for sale are not depreciated. | ||
Results of the Beaumont operations are reported for all periods presented on a net of tax basis as discontinued operations. In addition, assets and liabilities of the business held for sale have been classified as assets and liabilities held for sale in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. | ||

3. | Income (Loss) Per Share | |
Basic income (loss) per share data is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share data is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and the effect of all dilutive potential common shares including stock options, nonvested shares, convertible preferred shares and common stock warrants. Nonvested stock carries dividend and voting rights, but is not included in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to compute basic income (loss) per share since they are contingently returnable. |

5. | Derivative Financial Instruments |
We manage risk using derivative financial instruments for changes in natural gas supply prices and changes in nitrogen prices. Derivative financial instruments have credit risk and market risk. |
To manage credit risk, we enter into derivative transactions only with counter-parties who are currently rated as BBB or better or equivalent as recognized by a national rating agency. We will not enter into transactions with a counter-party if the additional transaction will result in credit exposure exceeding $20 million. The credit rating of counter-parties may be modified through guarantees, letters of credit or other credit enhancement vehicles. |
We classify a derivative financial instrument as a hedge if all of the following conditions are met: |
1. | The item to be hedged must expose us to price risk. |
2. | It must be probable that the results of the hedge position substantially offset the effects of price changes on the hedged item (e.g., there is a high correlation between the hedge position and changes in market value of the hedge item). |
3. | The derivative financial instrument must be designated as a hedge of the item at the inception of the hedge. |
Natural gas supplies to meet production requirements at our North American production facilities are purchased at market prices. Natural gas market prices are volatile and we effectively fix prices for a portion of our natural gas production requirements and inventory through the use of swaps, basis swaps and options. The North American contracts reference physical natural gas prices or appropriate NYMEX futures contract prices. Contract physical prices for North America are frequently based on prices at the Henry Hub in Louisiana, the most common and financially liquid location of reference for financial derivatives related to natural gas. However, natural gas supplies for our North American production facilities are purchased at locations other than Henry Hub, which often creates a location basis differential between the contract price and the physical price of natural gas. Accordingly, the use of financial derivatives may not exactly offset the change in the price of physical gas. The contracts are traded in months forward and settlement dates are scheduled to coincide with gas purchases during that future period. |
A swap is a financial instrument whereby we agree to pay a counterparty a fixed rate, and the counterparty pays us a variable rate. Option contracts give the holder the right to either own or sell a futures or swap contract. The option contracts require initial premium payments ranging from 2% to 5% of contract value. Basis swap contracts require payments to or from us for the amount, if any, that monthly published gas prices from the source specified in the contract differ from the prices of a NYMEX natural gas futures during a specified period. There are no initial cash requirements related to the swap and basis swap agreements. |
12
Table of Contents
We may also use a collar structure where we will enter into a swap, sell a call at a higher price and buy a put. The collar structure allows for greater participation in a decrease to natural gas prices and protects against moderate price increases. However, the collar exposes us to large price increases. At June 30, 2008 there were no collars outstanding. |

Certain derivatives outstanding at June 30, 2008 and 2007, which settled during July 2008 and 2007, respectively, are included in the position of open natural gas derivatives in the table above. The July 2008 derivatives settled for an approximate $15.6 million gain compared to the July 2007 derivatives which settled for an approximate $5.5 million loss. Substantially all open derivatives will settle during the next twelve months. |
We determined that certain derivative contracts were ineffective hedges for accounting purposes and recorded a credit of $4.8 million and a credit of $.5 million, respectively, to cost of sales for the period ending June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. |
The effective portion of gains and losses on derivative contracts that qualify for hedge treatment are carried as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and credited or charged to cost of sales in the month in which the hedged transaction settles. Gains and losses on the contracts that do not qualify for hedge treatment are credited or charged to cost of sales based on the positions’ fair value. The risk and reward of outstanding natural gas positions are directly related to increases or decreases in natural gas prices in relation to the underlying NYMEX natural gas contract prices. |

At times, we also use forward derivative instruments to fix or set floor prices for a portion of our nitrogen sales volumes. At June 30, 2008, we did not have any open contracts for nitrogen solutions. When outstanding, the nitrogen solution contracts do not qualify for hedge treatment due to inadequate trading history to demonstrate effectiveness. Consequently, these contracts are marked-to-market and unrealized gains or losses are reflected in revenue in the statement of operations. For the three- and six-month periods ending June 30, 2008, there were no gains or losses on nitrogen forward derivative instruments. For the three- and six-month periods ending June 30, 2007, we recognized a loss of $1.1 million and $2.0 million, respectively, on nitrogen forward derivative instruments. |
6. | Fair Value Measurements |
On January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS 157,Fair Value Measurements(“SFAS 157”), which, among other things, requires enhanced disclosure of assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value. In February 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-2,Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,which delayed for one year the applicability of SFAS 157’s fair-value measurements to certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities. We adopted SFAS 157 in 2008, except as it applies to those nonfinancial assets and liabilities as affected by the one-year delay. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material impact on our financial statements. |
SFAS 157 establishes a three level hierarchal disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of asset or liability and its characteristics. Assets and liabilities with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. | ||
The three levels are defined as follows: |
• | Level 1 — inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
• | Level 2 — inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. |
• | Level 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
14
Table of Contents
We evaluated our assets and liabilities to determine which items should be disclosed according to SFAS 157. We currently measure our derivative contracts on a recurring basis at fair value. The inputs included in the fair value measurement of our derivative contract use adjusted quoted prices from an active market which are classified at level 2 as a significant other observable input in the disclosure hierarchy framework as defined by SFAS 157. |
The following table summarizes the valuation of our assets and liabilities in accordance with SFAS 157 fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2008: |

8. | Equity Investments | |
Trinidad and United States |
Our investment in companies that are accounted for on the equity method of accounting and included in operations consist of the following: (1) 50% ownership interest in Point Lisas Nitrogen Limited, (“PLNL”) which operates an ammonia production plant in Trinidad (2) 50% interest in an ammonia storage joint venture located in Houston, Texas and (3) 50% interest in a joint venture in Oklahoma CO2 at our Verdigris nitrogen plant. These investments were $137.1 million at June 30, 2008. We include the net earnings of these investments as an element of income from operations because the investees’ operations provide additional capacity to our operations. |

The carrying value of these investments at June 30, 2008 was $44.1 million more than our share of the affiliates’ book value. The excess is attributable primarily to the step-up in basis for fixed asset values, which is being depreciated over a period of approximately fifteen years. Our equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries is different than our ownership interest in income reported by the unconsolidated subsidiaries due to deferred profits on intergroup transactions and amortization of basis differences. |
We have transactions in the normal course of business with PLNL whereby we are obliged to purchase 50% of the ammonia produced by PLNL at current market prices. During the six-month period ending June 30, 2008, we purchased approximately $77.4 million of ammonia from PLNL. During the six-month period ending June 30, 2007, we purchased approximately $31.9 million of ammonia from PLNL. During the first half of 2007, PLNL performed a turnaround, resulting in lower production levels and consequently, lower purchases by us. |
We received $40.9 million and $1.0 million in distributions from all of our equity investments in the six-month periods ending June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. |
United Kingdom |
On September 14, 2007, we completed the formation of GrowHow UK Limited (GrowHow), a joint venture between us and Kemira GrowHow Oyj (Kemira). Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, we contributed our United Kingdom subsidiary Terra Nitrogen (UK) Limited to the joint venture for a 50% interest. Subsequent to September 14, 2007, we have accounted for our investment in GrowHow as an equity method investment. This investment was $223.7 million at June 30, 2008. |

Table of Contents
Our interest in the joint venture is classified as a non-operating equity investment. We do not include the net earnings of this investment as an element of income from operations since the investees’ operations do not provide additional capacity to us, nor are its operations integrated with our supply chain in North America. |
The six-month results of operations and financial position of our equity method investment in GrowHow at June 30, 2008 were: |

Total liabilities and equity | $ | 593,046 | ||
The carrying value of these investments at June 30, 2008 was $82.8 million more than our share of the affiliates’ book value. The excess is attributable primarily to the step-up in basis for fixed asset values, which is being depreciated over a period of approximately twelve years. Our equity earnings of GrowHow are different than our ownership interest in GrowHow’s net income due to the amortization of basis differences. |
We contributed Terra Nitrogen (UK) Limited to the joint venture for a 50% interest in the joint venture, and Kemira contributed its Kemira GrowHow UK Limited subsidiary for the remaining 50% interest. The GrowHow joint venture in the United Kingdom includes the Kemira site at Ince and our Teeside and Severnside sites. Pursuant to the GrowHow Agreements with Kemira, we are eligible to receive a balancing consideration payment from GrowHow in 2011. We will receive a minimum balancing consideration payment of £20 million, and have the right to receive up to £60 million, based on GrowHow’s level of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the years 2008 through 2010. |
In January 2008 GrowHow closed the Severnside manufacturing facility. Pursuant to the agreement with Kemira, we are responsible for any remediation costs required to prepare the Severnside site for disposal. We anticipate remediation costs to be approximately $5.0 million to $10.0 million. We have an option to purchase the Severnside land for a nominal amount at any time prior to sale. If we elect not to exercise this option we are still entitled to receive the sales proceeds. We anticipate that the proceeds related to the sale of the Severnside land would exceed the total cost of reclamation of site. |
We received $28.1 million from GrowHow during the 2008 first quarter for the refund of working capital contributions in excess of amounts specified in the Joint Venture Contribution Agreement. |

In February 2007, Terra Capital, Inc., (“TCAPI”) a subsidiary of Terra Industries Inc., issued $330 million of 7.0% Senior Notes due 2017 to refinance our Senior Secured Notes due in 2008 and 2010. The notes are unconditionally guaranteed by Terra Industries Inc. and its U.S. subsidiaries (see Note 15). These notes and guarantees are unsecured and will rank equal in right of payment with any existing and future senior obligations of such guarantors. We recorded a $38.8 million loss on the early retirement of debt. |
The Indenture governing these notes contains covenants that limit, among other things, our ability to: incur additional debt, pay dividends on common stock of Terra Industries Inc. or repurchase shares of such common stock, make certain investments, sell any of our principal production facilities or sell other assets outside the ordinary course of business, enter into transactions with affiliates, limit dividends or other payments by our restricted subsidiaries, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, engage in other businesses, sell all or substantially all of our assets or merge with or into other companies, and reduce our insurance coverage. |
We are obligated to offer to repurchase these notes upon a Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture) at a cash price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding at that time, plus accrued interest to the date of purchase. The Indenture governing these notes contains events of default and remedies customary for a financing of this type. |
In conjunction with the bond refinancing, we amended the $200 million revolving credit facility to extend the expiration date to January 31, 2012. The revolving credit facility is secured by substantially all of our assets. Borrowing availability is generally based on 100% of eligible cash balances, 85% of eligible accounts receivable and 60% of eligible finished goods inventory less outstanding letters of credit issued under the facility. These facilities include $50 million only available for the use of Terra Nitrogen Company, L.P. (TNCLP), one of our consolidated subsidiaries. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility will bear interest at a floating rate plus an applicable margin, which can be either a base rate, or, at our option, a London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). At June 30, 2008, the LIBOR rate was 2.47%. The base rate is the highest of (1) Citibank, N.A.’s base rate (2) the federal funds effective rate, plus one-half percent (0.50%) per annum and (3) the base three month certificate of deposit rate, plus one-half percent (0.50%) per annum, plus an applicable margin in each case. LIBOR loans will bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The applicable margins for base rate loans and LIBOR loans were 0.50% and 1.75%, respectively, at June 30, 2008. The revolving credit facility requires an initial one-half percent (0.50%) commitment fee on the difference between committed amounts and amounts actually borrowed. |

At June 30, 2008, we had no outstanding revolving credit borrowings and $6.5 million in outstanding letters of credit. The $6.5 million in outstanding letters of credit reduced our borrowing availability to $193.5 million at June 30, 2008. The credit facilities require that we adhere to certain limitations on additional debt, capital expenditures, acquisitions, liens, asset sales, investments, prepayments of subordinated indebtedness, changes in lines of business and transactions with affiliates. If our borrowing availability falls below $60 million, we are required to have achieved minimum operating cash flows or earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items of $60 million during the most recent four quarters. |
10. | Pension Plans | |
We maintain defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans that cover substantially all salaried and hourly employees. Benefits are based on a pay formula. The defined benefit plans’ assets consist principally of equity securities and corporate and government debt securities. We also have certain non-qualified pension plans covering executives, which are unfunded. We accrue pension costs based upon annual actuarial valuations for each plan and fund these costs in accordance with statutory requirements. | ||
The estimated components of net periodic pension expense follow: |

Cash contributions to the defined benefit pension plans for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $0.6 million and $5.7 million, respectively. Cash contributions to the defined benefit plans for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $0.9 and $14.7 million, respectively. |
We also sponsor defined contribution savings plans covering most full-time employees. Contributions made by participating employees are matched based on a specified percentage of employee contributions. The cost of our contributions to these plans for the three-month periods ending June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $0.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively. Contributions to these plans for the six-month periods ending June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $2.0 and $3.1 million, respectively. |
We provide health care benefits for certain U.S. employees who retired on or before January 1, 2002. Participant contributions and co-payments are subject to escalation. The plan pays a stated percentage of most medical expenses reduced for any deductible and payments made by government programs. These costs are funded as paid. |

11. | Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) |
Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) refers to revenues, expenses, gains and losses that under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States are recorded as an element of shareholders’ equity but are excluded from net income (loss). Our accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of (a) adjustments that result from translation of our foreign entity financial statements from their functional currencies to United States dollars, (b) adjustments that result from translation of intercompany foreign currency transactions that are of a long-term investment nature (that is, settlement is not planned or anticipated in the foreseeable future) between entities that are consolidated in our financial statements, (c) the offset to the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities (that qualify as a cash flow hedge) recorded on the balance sheet, and (d) pension and post-retirement benefit liabilities adjustments. |

12. | Commitments and Contingencies |
We are involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, including employee injury claims. Based on the facts currently available, management believes that the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operation or liquidity and that the likelihood that a loss contingency will occur in connection with these claims is remote. |
We have entered into physical natural gas supply agreements through March 2009 for approximately 28.7 million MMBtu’s. As of June 30, 2008, these natural gas commitments were $1.9 million above the respective index prices. |

13. | New Accounting Pronouncements |
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS 141R,Business Combinations(“SFAS 141R”), which changes the way we account for business acquisitions. SFAS 141R requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction and establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Certain provisions of this standard will, among other things, impact the determination of acquisition-date fair value of consideration paid in a business combination (including contingent consideration); exclude transaction costs from acquisition accounting; and change accounting practices for acquired contingencies, acquisition-related restructuring costs, in-process research and development, indemnification assets, and tax benefits. SFAS 141R is effective for business combinations and adjustments to an acquired entity’s deferred tax asset and liability balances occurring after December 31, 2008. We are currently evaluating the future impacts and disclosures of SFAS 141R. |
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51,(“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 improves the comparability and transparency of financial statements when reporting minority interest. Entities with a noncontrolling interest will be required to clearly identify and present the ownership interest in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest will be identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income. The statement offers further guidance on changes in ownership interest, deconsolidation, and required disclosures. The statement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning January 1, 2009. We are currently assessing the impact SFAS 160 may have on our financial statements. |
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities(“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 is an amendment of SFAS 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities(“SFAS 133”). To address concerns that the existing disclosure requirements of SFAS 133 do not provide adequate information, this Statement requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. This statement shall be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the future impacts and disclosures of SFAS 161. |
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 162,The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles(“SFAS 162”). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States (the GAAP hierarchy). This statement is effective 60 days following the Security and Exchange Commission’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to Auditing Standards Section 411. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 162 to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition. |

14. | Common Stockholders’ Equity |
Terra allocates $1.00 per share upon the issuance of Common Shares to the Common Share capital account. The Common Shares have no par value. In the second quarter we declared and paid a $0.10 dividend per Common Share. Future dividends are necessarily dependent upon future earnings, capital requirements, general financial condition, general business conditions, approval from our Board of Directors and other factors. |
In connection with the Mississippi Chemical Corporation (“MCC”) acquisition, we issued warrants to purchase 4.0 million of our common shares at $5.48 per share. These warrants were valued at $21.1 million at the MCC closing. During 2005, shareholders approved the issuance of the underlying shares and the warrant value was reclassified to common stockholders’ equity. | ||
During the six month period ended June 30, 2008, a portion of these warrants were exercised and were redeemed for common shares. |

On May 6, 2008, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution for the repurchase of 12,841,717 shares representing 14 percent of our outstanding stock. The stock buyback program commenced on May 7, 2008 and has been and will be conducted on the open market, in private transactions or otherwise at such times prior to December 31, 2009, and at such prices we determine appropriate. Purchases may be commenced or suspended at any time without notice. | ||

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
As you read this management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, you should refer to our Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in Item 1,Financial Statements.
Introduction
We are a leading North American producer and marketer of wholesale nitrogen products, serving agricultural and industrial markets. Nitrogen products are commodity chemicals that are sold at prices reflecting global supply and demand conditions. The nitrogen products industry has periods of oversupply during industry downturns that lead to capacity shutdowns at the least cost-effective plants. These shutdowns are followed by supply shortages, which result in higher selling prices and higher industry-wide production rates during industry upturns. The higher selling prices encourage capacity additions until we again start to see an oversupply, and the cycle repeats itself.
Natural gas is the most significant raw material in the production of nitrogen products. In the 2008 second quarter, natural gas prices have increased from the year end 2007. These increases have a significant adverse impact on our cost of production.
The key drivers of our profitability are nitrogen products selling prices, as determined primarily by the global nitrogen demand/supply balance; and natural gas costs, in North American markets. Recent demand has been affected by the growing global population and its preference for a higher-protein diet and by the rise of corn-consuming biofuels in North America.
Imports account for over half of the total North American nitrogen supply, with levels varying among the various products. Most producers exporting nitrogen products into North America can afford to do so because they are manufacturing product with lower cost gas than that which is available to North American producers.
During the second quarter of 2008 China imposed significant tariffs on urea. Subsequent to this announcement, North American spot prices for nitrogen products significantly increased.
Our sales volumes depend primarily on our plant’s operating rates. We also purchase product from other manufacturers and importers for resale; however, historic gross margins on these volumes have not been significant. Profitability and cash flows from our nitrogen products are affected by our ability to manage our costs and expenses (other than natural gas), most of which do not materially change for different levels of production or sales. Other factors affecting our nitrogen products results include the level of planted corn and wheat acres, transportation costs, weather conditions (particularly during planting season), grain prices and other variables described in Item 1 “Business” and Item 2 “Properties” sections of our 2007 Form 10-K filing with the Securities Exchange Commission.

QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2007
Consolidated Results
We reported net income of $203.4 million for the 2008 second quarter compared with 2007 second quarter net income of $70.7 million. The net income increase is primarily due to higher sales prices as a result of increased demand for nitrogen products, specifically in the agricultural markets.

Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 increased $150.6 million, or 22%, compared with the same 2007 quarter primarily due to higher sales prices for all nitrogen products, partially offset by lower sales volumes. The price increase is due to improved demand for nitrogen products. The 2007 second quarter revenues included $121.1 million from the UK. The UK operations were contributed into the GrowHow UK Limited joint venture during the 2007 third quarter and its results are classified as non-operating equity earnings.
Operating income for the 2008 second quarter was $285.3 million which was $154.1 million more than the $131.2 million income in the 2007 second quarter. Higher second quarter sales prices contributed $254.9 million to the 2008 second quarter operating income. This increase was partially offset by increased costs of $107.8 million, primarily as a result of higher gas costs and increased costs relating to purchased product for resale. Increased equity earnings contributed $17.3 million to operating income.
Discontinued Operations
We have reported our Beaumont, Texas operations as discontinued operations for the periods ending June 30, 2008 and 2007. The Beaumont operations were included in our methanol segment in prior periods. In connection with reporting discontinued operations, we have determined that our methanol segment no longer meets the requirements of a reporting segment.

Minority Interest
Minority interest represents third-party interests in the earnings of the publicly held common units of Terra Nitrogen Company, L.P. (TNCLP). The 2008 and 2007 amounts are directly related to TNCLP earnings and losses. During the first quarter of 2008, the cumulative shortfall of the Minimum Quarterly Distribution was satisfied which entitled us to increased income allocations as provided for in the TNCLP Partnership Agreement. Our increased income allocation attributed to our General Partner interest was $13.6 million in the second quarter of 2008. The current quarter minority interest balance reflects the impact of these adjusted income allocations.
Equity Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates — GrowHow
We recorded income of $37.6 million from our U.K. joint venture in the second quarter of 2008. The strong performance of the joint venture is due to a significant increase in price and volume due to market demand.
Income Taxes
Income taxes for the 2008 second quarter were recorded based on the estimated effective tax rate for the individual jurisdictions in which Terra operates. The annual effective tax rates were 35.3% and 36.5% in the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The 2008 rate of 35.3% was primarily due to income in foreign jurisdictions with a lower benefit rate compared to income in the United States with a higher rate.

Consolidated Results
We reported net income of $304.9 million for the 2008 first six months compared with 2007 first six months net income of $77.9 million. The 2007 net income includes a $38.7 million ($24.3 million, net of taxes) charge for the early retirement of debt. The net income increase is primarily due to higher sales prices as a result of increased demand for nitrogen products, specifically in the agricultural markets.

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased $224.3 million, or 19%, compared with the same 2007 six months primarily due to higher sales prices for all nitrogen products, partially offset by lower sales volumes. The price increase is due to improved demand for nitrogen products. The 2007 first six months revenues included $211.0 million from the UK. The UK operations were contributed into the GrowHow UK Limited joint venture during the 2007 third quarter and its results are classified as non-operating equity earnings.
Operating income for the 2008 first half was $453.6 million which was $255.2 million more than the $198.4 million income in the 2007 first half. Higher first half sales prices contributed $429.5 million to the 2008 first half operating income. This increase was partially offset by increased costs of $189.7 million, primarily as a result of higher gas costs and increased costs relating to purchased product for resale. Increased equity earnings contributed $25.0 million to operating income. Cost reductions related to the UK operations for selling, general and administrative expense contributed $5.3 million.
Discontinued Operations
We have reported our Beaumont, Texas operations as discontinued operations for the periods ending June 30, 2008 and 2007.

Equity Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates — GrowHow
We recorded income of $46.9 million from our U.K. joint venture in the first half of 2008. The strong performance of the joint venture is due to a significant increase in price and volume due to market demand.
Income Taxes
Income taxes for the first half of 2008 were recorded based on the estimated annual effective tax rate for the individual jurisdictions in which Terra operates. The annual effective tax rate were 35.9% and 36.6% in the first half ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease in the effective rate is due primarily to gains in foreign jurisdictions that have a lower effective rate than the U.S.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents, which included $91.6 million related to customer prepayments, totaled $752.0 million at June 30, 2008. Our primary uses of cash are to fund our working capital requirements, make payments on our debt and other obligations and fund plant turnarounds, dividends, capital expenditures and stock repurchases. The principal sources of these cash outlays are cash flow from operations, cash on hand and, to the extent necessary, borrowings under available bank facilities.
Net cash provided by continuing operations in the first six months of 2008 was $100.9 million and net cash provided by discontinuing operations was $10.1 million. Cash from continuing operations was composed of $389.0 million of cash provided from operating activities, offset by $288.1 million to fund seasonal working capital requirements.
During the first six months, we funded plant and equipment purchases of $25.7 million primarily for replacement or sustaining capital needs. Plant turnaround costs represent cash used for the periodic scheduled major maintenance of our continuous process production facilities that is performed at each plant, generally every two years. We funded $10.2 million of plant turnaround costs in the first six months of 2008. We received $28.1 million from GrowHow UK Limited for our contribution settlement from the joint venture. In April 2008 we announced plans to expand the upgrading capacity at our Woodward, Oklahoma nitrogen manufacturing facility. We expect the project to cost approximately $180 million and to be completed by the end of 2010.
In May 2008, the Board authorized the repurchase of a maximum 12,841,717 shares, approximately 14% of our then outstanding common stock on the open market. In the second quarter of 2008, we have purchased a total of 189,150 shares, which results in 12,652,567 remaining shares we are authorized to repurchase by December 31, 2009. There were no repurchases in the 2008 first quarter.
We paid dividends on the outstanding preferred stock of $2.5 million for the six-month periods ending June 30, 2008 and 2007. We paid dividends on the outstanding common stock of $9.2 million for the six-month period ending June 30, 2008. There were no common stock dividends paid in 2007.
Distributions paid to the minority TNCLP common unit holders in the first six months of 2008 and 2007 were $39.9 million and $11.7 million, respectively. TNCLP distributions are based on “Available Cash” as defined in the Partnership Agreement.

In February 2007, Terra Capital, Inc., (“TCAPI”) a subsidiary of Terra Industries Inc., issued $330 million of 7.0% Senior Notes due 2017 to refinance our Senior Secured Notes due in 2008 and 2010. The notes are unconditionally guaranteed by Terra Industries Inc. and its U.S. subsidiaries. These notes and guarantees are unsecured and will rank equal in right of payment with any future senior obligations of such guarantors.
In conjunction with the bond refinancing, we amended the $200 million revolving credit facility to extend the expiration date to January 31, 2012. Borrowing availability under the credit facility is generally based on 100% eligible cash balances, 85% of eligible accounts receivable and 60% of eligible inventory, less outstanding letters of credit. These facilities include $50 million only available for the use of TNCLP, one of our consolidated subsidiaries. At June 30, 2008, there were no outstanding revolving credit borrowings and there were $6.5 million in outstanding letters of credit, resulting in remaining borrowing availability of approximately $193.5 million under the facilities. We are required to maintain a combined minimum unused borrowing availability of $30 million. The credit facility also requires that we adhere to certain limitations on additional debt, capital expenditures, acquisitions, liens, asset sales, investments, prepayments of subordinated indebtedness, changes in lines of business and transactions with affiliates. In addition, if our borrowing availability falls below a combined $60 million, we are required to have generated $60 million of operating cash flows, or earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items (as defined in the credit facility) for the preceding four quarters.
Our ability to meet credit facility covenants will depend on future market conditions, operating cash flows, working capital needs, receipt of customer prepayments and trade credit terms. Failure to meet these covenants could result in additional costs and fees to amend the credit facility or could result in termination of the facility. Based on current market conditions for our finished products and natural gas, we anticipate that we will be able to meet our covenants through 2008. If there were to be any adverse changes in the factors discussed above, we may need a waiver of our credit facility covenants, of which, there is no assurance that we would receive such waivers.
There were no material changes outside of the ordinary course of business to our contractual obligations or off-balance sheet arrangements presented in Item 7,Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operationsof the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2007.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risks relating to our operations result primarily from interest rates, foreign exchange rates, natural gas prices and nitrogen prices. We manage our exposure to these and other market risks through regular operating and financing activities and through the use of derivative financial instruments. We intend to use derivative financial instruments as risk management tools and not for speculative investment purposes. Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, of Terra’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 provides more information as to the types of practices and instruments used to manage risk. There were no material changes in our use of financial instruments during the quarter ended June 30, 2008.
The volume of natural gas hedged varies from time to time based on management’s judgment of market conditions, particularly natural gas prices and prices for nitrogen products. Management also considers our position related to forward fixed price sales contracts in determining the level of derivatives necessary. Contracts were in place at June 30, 2008 to cover approximately 31% of our natural gas requirements for the succeeding twelve months. Our ability to manage exposure to commodity price risk in the purchase of natural gas through the use of financial derivatives may be affected by limitations imposed by our bank agreement covenants.
