Thanks Carol. Welcome to today’s conference call. On today’s call, we expect to update you on the current status of our activities and operations. Those of you who follow us know that we’ve been working on a bond offering, to raise funds to complete a substantial expansion of our El Dorado Chemical Facility. Two days ago, on Wednesday August 7th, we completed a $425 million bond issue and received the funds. Now, with this money we are in the progress of engineering and in a hydrous ammonia plant that will allow us to almost double our total ammonia production capacity. We are well on our way to constructing this plant, with the engineering and the purchase of some of the major long term lead items required for the plant. We are waiting the receipt of the permit from the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality which is expected soon. When we receive it, we will break ground on the project. In addition, we have already on order a new asset plant and a nitric asset concentrator, to replace the plant that exploded in May of 2012. We expect a significant amount of this plant to be paid for with the insurance proceeds. On the subject of the insurance proceeds, we continue to make progress in our discussion with our insurance carriers, on the amount due to us on our claim. We also expect that we will receive payments before the end of 2013. At this time, we are projecting that all these construction activities will be completed during 2015 I think it is. For your information, internally, we have tested our projections under various down trends scenarios, and believe that our capital expansions should be accretive to earnings. We are in the process of renewing, adding, increasing the size of in…

Thanks, Jack. Before reviewing the financial results in detail, a few comments about the first half. Our Climate Control business reported improved results including a 13% increase in sales, a 20% increase in operating income over the first half of 2012. However, our consolidated results for the first six months, was significantly below the corresponding period of 2012, due to downtime or reduced production levels at three facilities of our Chemical business. Due to this effect of the downtime, our consolidated operating income and net income for the first quarter were essentially breakeven and our second quarter results are well below 2012. We’ll review the effect of the downtime and the current status of each facility later this call. For a review of the second quarter 2013 consolidated results compared to the second quarter of ‘12, please turn to page four on the power point presentation. Net sales were %202 million, 3% below 2012. Operating income was 12 million, compared to operating income last year of 42 million. After interest expense and taxes, we reported net income of $7.4 million or $0.31 per share compared to net income of $26 million or $1.11 in ‘12. EBITDA was 19 million versus 48 million. Continuing on page four, for the first half of 2013 compared to first half of ‘12, net sales were 353 million or 12% below ‘12; operating income was $12 million compared to $65 million last year. After interest expense and taxes, net income was $7.4 million or $0.31 per share, compared to net income of $40 million or $1.72 in 2012. EBITDA for the six months was 25 million compared to 76 million. The significant decline in consolidated operating income and net income is due to the effect of the loss production in Chemical business partially offset by…

Thanks, Tony. Since Tony covered the financial results, I’m going to focus on our sales activity, order levels, product backlogs or (inaudible) and market drivers as we see them. I’ll also give you an update on progress with the major capital projects, primarily at our El Dorado facility. To start, please turn to page 10, which shows our 2013 second quarter to-date sales mix by the markets we serve. This is a change from historical mix due to the downtime at certain chemical operations and not typical. On page 11, we’ve also included the sales mix for the full year 2012, which is more typical of our sales mix with normalized chemical operations. Focusing first on our Chemical business please go to page 12. Although, we have included data about our second quarter and year-to-date sales on this and the next two pages, comparisons for 2012 for the most part are not meaningful, because the Cherokee and Pryor facilities were not fully operating during a large part of the first half of 2013. Having said that, total sales for the Chemical business in the second quarter, were 121 million, down 12% from the second quarter of 2012. Total sales in the first half of 2013 were 199 million, down 24% from a year ago. With the exception of sales of natural gas which are new this year, and industrial assets during the second quarter of 2013, all major product categories listed were down relative to the second quarter and first half of 2012. Please turn to page 13 for sales of our agricultural products. During the second quarter and first half of 2013, sales of AL fertilizers were lower than during the same period last year. Sales of UAN and ammonia were down as a result of downtime at our…

Certainly. We’ll now be conduction a question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions]. And our first question comes from the line of Jo Mondillo with Sidoti & Company. Please proceed with your question. Joseph Mondillo – Sidoti & Company: Good morning guys.

Hi, Jo. Joseph Mondillo – Sidoti & Company: First question just on – was wondering if you could involves the El Dorado expansion and we’ve had a lot of sort of volatility with commodity prices and I know there is a lot of variables involved. But I’m just wondering if you could give us any idea or talk about a little color on the sensitivity of the 370 a ton of savings that you sort of guided to in the presentation that you put out a couple of weeks ago?

Well Jo that’s a good question. What we in previous conference calls when we’ve been asked the question about what we expect in savings to be in El Dorado now – What it would look like today and what it might look like on a going forward basis, I think we’ve been pretty consistent in responding that the market conditions there is a lot of moving parts to the answer to that question. There is the market price of the products, there is the price of ammonia all the inputs are subject to change. And I think we’ve said consistently, that they do change and we expect them to change. And as a result of that, that we have run numerous scenarios at various levels Jack mentioned today that we shocked our projections with some downtime scenarios. It’s obvious that if ammonia prices are lower now than they were a year ago or three years ago, then the spread is lower. We expect that spread to change over time, sometimes it will get bigger, sometimes it will get smaller. The price of the ammonia in the last year has varied between what is today at $700 per ton. And so, we expect that over the long haul that this is going to be a very profitable addition it will save us significant money and it’s going to be accretive to earnings and relatively short pay back to the project of this magnitude. But as to specifically addressing differential in savings, you can try and do the math yourself because everyone in the industry knows the computation to figure out what the cost of producing is. So that answers your question or not Joseph Mondillo – Sidoti & Company: Yeah that was good enough, thanks. And then second question just related to the Pryor plant I was just wondering I think we had possible expectation that additional 60,000 may be up and running by the year end or early 2014 I was just wondering if you could give us an update on that capacity?

Well again on the previous conference calls, I think we did state that we were although not back burning that project we were giving it a much lower priority than focusing on the major plant at Pryor for obvious reasons and we’re still in that foster. So I would expect that, that has pushed out and it will push out in – for sure push out in 2014. As to an exact timing, we don’t have that available to give you because we quite honestly don’t know ourselves. Joseph Mondillo – Sidoti & Company: Okay. And then just lastly, expectations on turnarounds in the third quarter, I know it should be a lot less than normal just given that a lot of the turnaround or maintenance has happened in the beginning of the year, I was just wondering if you could just give us an update on…

That’s great, Jo. We don’t have any significant turnarounds planned for the second half. Joseph Mondillo – Sidoti & Company: Okay, great. Thanks a lot. I’ll hop back in queue.

Thank you. And our next question comes from the line of Dan Mannes with Avondale Partners. Please proceed with your question. Dan Mannes – Avondale Partners: Thanks and hey everybody.

Hi Dan. Dan Mannes – Avondale Partners: A couple of follow up questions, first starting on the El Dorado ammonia expansion. Number one, you’ve got a pretty good visibility on the capital cost 250 to 300, I was wondering, how close you’re to be able to sign the EPCs and how much of that cost is sort of either locked in or known versus how much if there is still somewhere…

Well some of that cost is locked in and some of that cost is subject to change as we get into the project. And I don’t have in front of me a breakdown to be able to give you – quantify specifically how much that is. Unfortunately, I just don’t have that information in front of me. Tony would you like to comment?

Dan the other thing to is I think Barry mentioned that we’re negotiating an agreement with EPC, it won’t be a turnkey cost, it will be time material and highly engineered and highly negotiating. So we have a – we feel certainly have in that range. I think we put on a schedule of 270 million but we don’t expect significant overruns over and above what we forecast.

I’ll just add to what Tony said, the reason some of it we can lock in on because some of the parts of the plant we purchased direct and some of the parts of the plant will be provided by the EPC. So, much of the part of purchase direct we’ve been able to lock the price. And the hardware, those are the major components we’ve been able to lock it or come within a very narrow range of expectations or variation. The part that is subject to change gets into the construction part itself and that is still in engineering. So as the engineering changes there are some variation and that will be the engineering will continue for a few more months until we break ground on it. Dan Mannes – Avondale Partners: Okay. The next question El Dorado and I think in the presentation you noted an expectation may be 20% return on capital which we estimated then to be in the ballpark of 50 million to may be 60 million of annual EBITDA. Can you talk about what might be baked into that assumption? And how much of that is already, I don’t want to say locked in, but highly visible given the fact already going into contracted production at El Dorado?

Well you say contracted production we have as I said before we’re currently using about 220,000 of tons per year of ammonia at El Dorado and so, the first 220,000 tons of production will go to satisfy our current needs. That leaves us about 155,000 of additional ammonia and that additional ammonia, we have several optional things we can do with it. I mean we might be able to upgrade it into other product and sell it and we have – we’re talking to various customers about the potential of doing that. But I really don’t want to get specific or talk about any specific contracts at this time. It’s inappropriate to do that until it’s a done deal. But also this is on the pipeline and we’re currently buying from the pipeline and we’ve also – we can inject into the pipeline. And we plan any excess ammonia that we have that we can’t cover either with our current requirements or new requirements that we develop with customers, we can sell into the pipeline. And that’s what the plan is the overage will go into the pipeline. Dan Mannes – Avondale Partners: Okay and to the initial question the 50 million to 60 million based on a 20% return, can you give us some indication of what that’s based from a pricing perspective?

Dan the return on capital direct result of the market process for ammonia urea – ammonia nitrate solutions and the cost of natural gas. So that’s going to move up and down, lift the average cost during the quarter of the year. Dan Mannes – Avondale Partners: Yeah we understand that but you clearly made some assumptions to come up with that returns. So I was just wondering if you could tell us what they were.

Well we’re not going to give you the specifics of our internal projects we typically don’t do that as you know not discuss it generally. But in general sense, the five year return was not based on the current conditions, it was based on a more conservative look at the market indicators at some point in time in the future that included lower ammonia cost and higher natural gas cost. But as to the specifics, I don’t think it’s appropriate to put those out there at this time. Dan Mannes – Avondale Partners: Understood. The last question as it relates to El Dorado

You should also include the assumption, that some of the products will probably be sold to the industrial sector on a negotiated basis. So it wouldn’t necessarily get full retail price. So when you’re looking and thinking about the savings that we can get within ammonia plant, it would be inappropriate to think that the full differential between the cost of produce and the current cost of ammonia will automatically drop to our bottom line. So there will be some that will be incorporated into contracts that will go back to customers to enhance the competitive nature of the business and to help negotiate longer term contracts and (inaudible) contracts. Dan Mannes – Avondale Partners: Right. And so while you may be foregoing some of the potential key profitability on the markets you’re taking some of the risks off the table and locking in may be more visible margins on it?

Right and that’s consistent with our business plan what it’s been historically. Dan Mannes – Avondale Partners: Yeah

Take a certain amount of our business to be conservative and lock in. Dan Mannes – Avondale Partners: Understood. The last question as it relates to El Dorado expansion, the debt financing you put in place, I don’t know if you filed the indenture for it, but this was a secured piece of debt when I think you originally went out for unsecured. Can you talk about some constraints you may have whether assets sales moving assets around etcetera given that it’s going to be secured?

Well may be I don’t think is anything that we would be considering but in terms of the ability to manage the business I think we’re in perfect shape with this additional funding. The security is not something we expect to go in but the market tightened up as we go through. But in terms of managing the business, I don’t think it’s going to have an impact on our plan. Dan Mannes – Avondale Partners: Alright, that was really more talking about strategically whether down the road you’re looking to potentially separate the businesses we’ve obviously talked about MLPs etcetera I was just wondering if that might constraint you in any way on any strategic opportunities.

Well obviously you have to deal with collateral if you’re going go to do of an acid but at this point in time our longer term plan right now consist of completing the construction and increasing the capacity to these plants and we don’t have any short term and keep in mind this isn’t six year notes, these bonds are year maturity. Dan Mannes – Avondale Partners: Got it. And then my final question is, you had mentioned you would also you’ve done some pre-selling of UAN I think you specifically highlighted Cherokee at 260 for the balance of the year. I didn’t catch did you also pre-sell at Pryor and if so, may be walk us through the pricing of it?

Well we basically have a de facto pre-sell situation at Pryor because by the virtue of our distribution arrangement that we have that we’ve discussed at the past, partner is required to take all the production that we can produce. Now it’s not at a fixed price, it’s at whatever the pocket price is at the time okay? So from a volume standpoint, we’re great for the balance of the year and from a locked in spread standpoint, we’re locked in at Cherokee but we’re not locked in at Pryor. Dan Mannes – Avondale Partners: Perfect. Thanks a lot.

Thanks, Dan.

And our next question comes from the line of Keith Maher with Singular Research. Please proceed with your question. Keith Maher – Singular Research: Good morning gentlemen. My first couple of questions had to deal with insurance recoveries. First question just on the El Dorado damage the acid plant I know your insurance carrier was saying it was repairable so you’re not going to get quite much money you’d hope. Do you have an idea as to how much you’re going to get? And you are going to get before the end of the year I think that was in the prepared remarks?

We disclosed that in the initial remarks. We have yet to receive 75 million to 100 million include there is the, negotiate within that range is what we think the range is for the recovery of the DSN plant. Keith Maher – Singular Research: But some of that money I thought the 75 to 100 was related to business interruption insurance money?

It is. Keith Maher – Singular Research: Okay.

But the recovery on the DSN plant. Please keep in mind we’ve already dealt with the net book value of that cost so that costs will all be beyond the net book value that we’ve already written off. Keith Maher – Singular Research: Okay, that’s helpful. But then just to understand you’re saying you’re going to get about 75 million to 100 million in the insurance proceeds between now and at the end of the year is that?

And I also qualified it however, there is no assurance because with insurance companies you have to sort of move at their pace. We will receive that and we expect in ‘13 although it lasts with the insurances. Keith Maher – Singular Research: Okay. But it wouldn’t be any more money than that, it just may – some of it may just come in ‘14 is that what you’re saying?

Seems like possible we expected in ‘13 but it could – some of it could leak over in ‘14. Keith Maher – Singular Research: Okay. And then second question just about the expansion at the El Dorado, any chance so we can get some more details as to when in 2015 we’d see, obviously there is the nitric acid plants, there is the ammonia plants I guess would probably come online at slightly different times. I mean could we get a little bit color as to may be when in 2015, what quarter you might see that happen?

We’re too far off to be able to pin that down exactly. Primarily, we don’t have our permits yet and that will affect the start day then we can break ground because you’re not allowed to break ground until you get those permits. But what we’ve been saying is I think we need to be thinking about the back half of ‘15 not the front half of ‘15. And as this progresses, and we get the permits, and we get farther into and as we get closer to it, we’ll be able to nail that down a little better but it’s premature to try to nail it down to a month or even a very specific quarter at this point till we get those permits. Keith Maher – Singular Research: Okay. If the permits – I mean you mentioned the state of Arkansas are there some federal permits involved as well like the EPA?

The way it works is we work with the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality, they’ve been very cooperative. They are also very cautious. So once we get them to issue the draft the permit and EPA will overlook it and agree to it. Keith Maher – Singular Research: Okay. And then just a final question on your tax rate, I don’t know if you could give any guidance going forward but should we assume kind of the tax rate what’s been here up in the high 30s going forward?

State and federal combined yes. Keith Maher – Singular Research: Yeah okay. Alright that’s…

It’s a little bit lower than that certain period premium tax credits but 37 up I think is a good rule of thumb. Keith Maher – Singular Research: Okay, great. Thanks. That’s all I had.

Thanks.

And our next question comes from the line of David Deterding with Wells Fargo. Please proceed with your question. David Deterding – Wells Fargo Securities: Hi good morning guys.

We didn’t hear the name. David Deterding – Wells Fargo Securities: It’s David Deterding at Wells Fargo.

Hi David. David Deterding – Wells Fargo Securities: Hey how are you Barry? I saw a nice step up in the Climate Control business this quarter $9.5 million, it looks like the backlog decreased a little bit there but the sales were up. Are we starting to see a C change and have we gone through that trough in the Climate Control business and we’re coming out of that now or are we really just working down the backlog here as we go forward?

Well I think it’s may be somewhere in between. I think a C change implies major significant bump up in this context. I think what we said was and what we’re seeing, is that if you look at the charts that I gave you on McGraw-Hill, that there is the expectation that over the next three to five years there is going to be some really significant growth in all the important markets that we serve, but we’re not exactly sure of the timing. The other thing you have to understand about this particular business is that, it’s a lumpy business as far as order intake. So you can see timing on key large orders really impact bookings in a given quarter or a given month. So we tend to look at over the long haul. But what we’re seeing out there is all positive indicators but not exactly sure of the pace that it’s going to increase, okay? And that’s – so we’re seeing activity levels up, we’re seeing the ABI up, we’re looking at these projections for McGraw Hill and others that are up. But we’re not going to be able to necessarily every single quarter see an increase in bookings. And therefore the backlog fluctuates and sometimes the backlog fluctuates because we are catering to customer demand as to when they need specific projects so we need to ship them, when they want them. I hope that answered your question? David Deterding – Wells Fargo Securities: No absolutely, absolutely. And Tony, just on the insurance side of it just following up I know you said 75 million to 100 million is kind of what you expect to receive going forward and you received 65 million to-date. I just want to clarify, not all that 65 million has run through either in cost of sales, if it’s BI or the cash flow statement if it were an asset recovery some of that is still sitting in a current liability account, is that correct?

Yes that’s correct and deferred. David Deterding – Wells Fargo Securities: Okay so there is some deferred that’s still to hit the statements here in that 65 million that you said you already received?

I think there is 21 million deferred at this point David. David Deterding – Wells Fargo Securities: Perfect. And then can you just talk about I know you were talking about some balancing issues at Pryor that may have gone a little longer. It sounds like we’re up to that 700 tons per day in July where – sorry in August now where we sit. Did that bleed over when we weren’t running kind of full I mean should we think about some impact at Pryor in Q3 as far as not being up to that run rate?

Well keeping in mind that we came up during the period, there was a progression up to near design rates so we may not be right at 700 but close to it may be 650, 660 going to 700. David Deterding – Wells Fargo Securities: Okay.

The hot weather will have one impact and another but for the most part we are very optimistic that this 700 will be a run rate. David Deterding – Wells Fargo Securities: Great. That’s all I had guys. Thank you.

Thanks, David.

And our next question comes from the line of Gregg Hillman from First Wilshire Securities. Please proceed with your question. Gregg Hillman – First Wilshire Securities: Yeah good morning. I’d like to continue along the Pryor question about Pryor. Historically you’re last 10 years where did Pryor kick out on a quarterly basis or on an annual basis in terms of the ammonia production?

Did you say over the last 10 years is that what you said? Gregg Hillman – First Wilshire Securities: Yeah what was the year peak or the quarterly peak?

Let me just go back and do a little catch up on history with Pryor. We acquired Pryor about 14 years ago, and when we acquired it, it was in a shutdown condition. We acquired it out of a bankruptcy. It was maintained 14 years or more in a shutdown condition a similar to mothball condition not completely mothball. We did certain things to preserve it so that if we wanted to turn it on, we’d be able to turn it on. And then we started in about 2008 to – and 2009 to somewhat recondition the plant and get it ready to start up and we finally achieved production or sustained production in the fourth quarter of 2010. So for the first three quarters of 2010, there was no production and it lost money, it lost about $17 million I think in that first three quarters. And then in the fourth quarter, we turned it on, and it made all that money back. So it ended up breaking even for 2010 but it only ran for one quarter. For 2011, it ran for most of the year and in 2011, my recollection was that it made operating income of about 42 million-ish and that was net of some insurance recoveries. So we actually recorded more income but take out the insurance recoveries, it was something like 42 million-ish. And I’ll also remind you that during 2011, we were still having problems with that bottleneck. So we were never able to get the full production or our targeted production let’s put it that way. So even at less than full production, we had a pretty profitable year for that operation in ‘11. And in ‘12, we had issues during part of the year with a urea vessel in the first part of the year and then in the back part of the year we decided to take it down to make a major plant upgrade. So in the back part of the year, in the fourth quarter, it was down because we realized that we needed to de-bottleneck it and so we made the discretionary decision to take it down to make a major upgrade to the plant. So that’s the kind of the history in Pryor. So we haven’t really owned it long enough and operated it long enough to have a really long term view of trends with this plant relatively short term but that’s the history as it’s been for us since we turned the plant on. Gregg Hillman – First Wilshire Securities: Okay. And then, just going forward, in terms of capacity I think you said 750 but I believe in cash cost you collected additional 60,000 that you’re working on reduction…

Excuse me we said our target production rates were 700 today we hit 700 on some days it’s less but we’re in that range approaching design rate. And then in addition to that, that we have another 60,000 tons per year from some ancillary or other ammonia plants that are currently not in operation that we plan to bring up probably sometime during 2014, which was originally planned for ‘13 but we pushed it out.

One thing that you could note is the year we made (inaudible) the plant never ran 500 tons per day.

That’s a good observation. Gregg Hillman – First Wilshire Securities: Okay. Thanks very much for the insight there.

Okay.

So in other words, we haven’t really run it in today’s configuration historically so going forward, there will be a new configuration and the new converter.

Okay.

Thank you. [Operator Instructions]. Our next question comes from the line of Rob (inaudible) Tree Capital. Please proceed with your question.

Hi guys. Thanks for your increased disclosure on the insurance that was really helpful. Can you talk about what happened with the insurance on Pryor and why that was rejected?

Well we didn’t follow the insurance claim on the downtime in ‘13 that was in 2012 we took it down realized it was a product claim. But in 2012 and ‘13 we did not have an insurance claim it was a shutdown to change out the converter. The claim that you’re referring to before was rejected because the insurance company took a position they couldn’t identify the exact cost of the crack in the retainer.

Got you. Okay. And it sounds like there is still some ongoing problems with the Pryor earlier in this quarter what were those? What were you issues there?

Well we made a very process upgrade in the fourth quarter and into the first quarter. We replaced the ammonia converter, the part of the ammonia plant that converts natural gas into ammonia. That was the bottleneck that was keeping us below 500 a day. And when you make a major – we took the plant down for few months, we made the change out and there are two things that affected us after we brought it up. One thing is that it’s typical after major plant outage as you’re bringing it up, that’s the time when the plant is stressed most, it’s stressed least when it’s operating at a steady state. But it’s stressed the most when you’re bringing it up. And we had a few mechanical issues that occurred on bringing it up one was a bearing and the other was what was the other one? I don’t recall what the other one is right now. Okay, we took the plant down and fixed those and got them up and that was fine. But then what we found was that with the new higher rate of production, that there needed to be some downstream balancing that went on and so we had been re-tweaking the balances downstream at certain parts of the plant to allow for the higher (inaudible). And that’s what occurred and that’s the explanation.

Okay. And are those – one of the other was talking about the presentation that you had out there is that somewhere on your IR site if you guys made that publicly available?

Yeah I think we filed an 8-K and we attached it most of it and – can you find that on our website? That power point is on the website.

Okay, great. Thank you. And last question can you talked about having some impact both your price urea. Could you also talk about how urea works in the competing products and kind of how switching might work towards in a way from that product?

Urea is a worldwide product. It’s a (inaudible) product for the most part it’s usually much lower than UAN but it doesn’t always set the price. It volatizes on the ground much sooner and it’s a lot less stable in terms of getting nitrogen to the plants. So the UAN in most according regions is a competitive product.

And urea is that so cheap that people decide to use kind of the (inaudible) product?

I’m sorry didn’t hear the question?

So the impact of urea became so cheap that people were happy to use it as an inferior product does that have any impact?

It has put some price pressure on AN and UAN yes, and it typically does that’s fairly common. I think (inaudible) urea every year.

Okay. Thank you very much.

Thank you.

And it seems we have no further questions at this time. I would like to turn the floor back over to management for any closing comments.

Okay. Well this is Barry again. I’d like to thank everyone for listening and having interest in LSB and participating today. And we appreciate that interest on your ongoing support.
