TERRA INDUSTRIES INC.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(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” and “it”) and the results of operations for the periods presented. Because of the seasonal nature of Terra’s 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 the Company’s 2006 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 the Company’s nitrogen- and methanol-based products, including any realized hedging gains or losses related to nitrogen product derivatives, and are reduced by estimated discounts and trade allowances. Revenues also include profit sharing revenue under the Methanex supply contract when the estimated margin on an annualized basis is probable. Revenues include amounts related to shipping and handling charges to the Company’s customers.
 
    Cost of Sales
 
    Costs of sales are primarily related to manufacturing costs related to the Company’s nitrogen- and methanol-based products, including any realized hedging gains or losses related to natural gas derivatives. Cost of sales includes amounts related to shipping and handling charges to the Company’s customers.
 
    Derivatives and Financial Instruments
 
    The Company enters into derivative financial instruments, including swaps, basis swaps, purchased put and call options and sold call options, to manage the effect of changes in natural gas costs, to manage the prices of its nitrogen products and to manage foreign currency risk. The Company reports the fair value of the derivatives on its 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 hedge, and to the extent such hedge is determined to be effective, changes in fair value are either (a) offset by the change in fair value of the hedged asset or liability, or (b) 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. If an instrument is settled early, any gains or losses are immediately recognized in cost of sales.
 
    Plant Turnaround Costs
 
    Costs related to 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.

Table of Contents

    Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
    Terra reviews its 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.   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 involved in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to compute basic income (loss) per share.

The following table provides a reconciliation between basic and diluted income (loss) per share for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006:

Diluted income (loss) per common share
  $ 0.06     $ (0.27 )
 
For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2006, common stock options totaling 0.1 million shares were excluded from the computation of diluted income per share because the exercise prices of these options exceeded the average market price of the Company’s stock for the respective periods, and the effect of their inclusion would have been antidilutive.
For the three-month periods ending March 31, 2007 and 2006, 120,000 preferred shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. These preferred shares were antidilutive using the if-converted method.

    Inventory is valued at actual first in — first out cost. Costs include raw material, labor and overhead.
 
4.   Derivative Financial Instruments
 
    Terra manages risk using derivative financial instruments for (a) changes in natural gas supply prices (b) interest rate fluctuations (c) changes in nitrogen prices and (d) currency. Derivative financial instruments have credit risk and market risk.
 
    To manage credit risk, Terra enters into derivative transactions only with counter-parties who are currently rated as BBB or better or equivalent as recognized by a national rating agency. Terra 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.
 
    Terra classifies a derivative financial instrument as a hedge if all of the following conditions are met:
  1.   The item to be hedged must expose Terra to currency, interest or price risk.
 
  2.   It must be probable that the results of the hedge position substantially offset the effects of currency, interest or 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 Terra’s North American and United Kingdom (U.K.) production facilities are purchased at market prices. Natural gas market prices are volatile and Terra effectively fixes prices for a portion of its natural gas production requirements and inventory through the use of futures contracts, 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 Terra’s 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 U.K. contracts are based on the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) index price. Physical delivery prices in the U.K. are based on the ICE index. 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 contract between Terra and a third party to exchange cash based on a designated price. Option contracts give the holder the right to either own or sell a futures or swap contract. The futures contracts require maintenance of cash balances generally 10% to 20% of the contract value and option contracts

require initial premium payments ranging from 2% to 5% of contract value. Basis swap contracts require payments to or from Terra 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.
Terra may also use a collar structure where it 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 Terra to large price increases. At March 31, 2007 there were no collars outstanding.
The following summarizes open natural gas derivative contracts at March 31, 2007 and 2006 and December 31, 2006:

Certain derivatives outstanding at March 31, 2007 and 2006, which settled during April 2007 and 2006, respectively, are included in the position of open natural gas derivatives in the table above. The April 2007 derivatives settled for an approximate $1.0 million gain. All open derivatives will settle during the next 12 months.
At March 31, 2007, the Company determined that certain derivative contracts were ineffective hedges for accounting purposes and recorded a credit of $2.9 million to cost of sales for the three-month period ending March 31, 2007. Derivatives outstanding at March 31, 2006 included a loss of $6.4 million that was recorded as an ineffective position and a charge to cost of sales for the three-month period ending March 31, 2006.
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 and ICE natural gas contract prices.
The activity to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of income taxes, relating to current period hedging transactions for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 follows:

    At times, the Company also uses forward derivative instruments to fix or set floor prices for a portion of its nitrogen sales volumes. At March 31, 2007, the Company had no open contracts covering 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-month period ending March 31, 2007, the Company recognized a loss of $0.9 million on nitrogen forward derivative instruments. For the three-month period ending March 31, 2006, there were no gains or losses on nitrogen forward derivative instruments.
 
5.   Unrecognized Tax Benefit
 
    The Company adopted the provision of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty to Income Taxes” (FIN 48), on January 1, 2007. Under FIN 48, tax benefits are recorded only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. Unrecognized tax benefits are tax benefits claimed in the Company's tax returns that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards.
 
    The primary jurisdictions in which the Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns are the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. In most United States jurisdictions, the Company has significant net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards that date back to 1999 and will remain subject to examination by tax authorities as those NOL positions may be used to offset future taxable earnings. For jurisdictions in Canada and the United Kingdom, income tax returns remain subject to examination by tax authorities for calendar years beginning in 2001 and 2005, respectively.
 
    The adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the Company's financial statements. The Company’s other liabilities include an unrecognized tax benefit of $33.5 million at March 31, 2007, which had been previously recognized under FASB Statement No. 5 "Accounting for Contingencies" or FASB Statement No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes." There were no changes in unrecognized tax positions during the period, and there are no expected changes in the next twelve months. If recognized, the $33.5 million of unrecognized tax benefit would have an impact on the effective tax rate.
 
    When applicable, the Company recognizes interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income taxes on the statement of operations. Due to the Company’s NOL carryforward position, no interest or penalties were recognized at March 31, 2007.

7.   Equity Investments
 
    Terra’s investments in companies that are accounted for on the equity method of accounting 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 Terra’s nitrogen plant. These investments were $166.7 million at March 31, 2007. Terra includes the net earnings of these investments as an element of income from operations since the investees’ operations provide additional capacity to Terra.
 
    The combined results of operations and financial position of Terra’s equity method investments are summarized below:

The carrying value of these investments at March 31, 2007 was $50.8 million more than Terra’s 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 15 years. Terra’s equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries is different than its ownership interest in income reported by the unconsolidated subsidiaries due to different accounting policies, deferred profits on intergroup transactions and amortization of basis differences.
Terra has transactions in the normal course of business with PLNL whereby Terra is obliged to purchase 50 percent of the ammonia produced by PLNL at current market prices. During the three-month period ending March 31, 2007, Terra purchased approximately $22.2 million of ammonia from PLNL. During the 2007 first quarter, PLNL performed a turnaround, resulting in lower production levels and consequently, lower purchases by the Company. During the first three months of 2006, Terra purchased approximately $31.5 million of ammonia from PLNL.

    During the first three months of 2007 there were no cash distributions from any of the Company’s investments. During the first three months of 2006, there were $17.5 million of distributions from PLNL to the Company. The total distributions from all investments were $17.9 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2006.

In January 2007, Terra Capital, Inc., (“TCAPI”) a subsidiary of Terra Industries Inc., issued $330 million of 7.0% Senior Notes due 2017. The notes are unconditionally guaranteed by Terra Industries Inc. and its U.S. subsidiaries. Fees and expenses of the transaction totaled $5.4 million. These notes and guarantees are unsecured and will rank equal in right of payment with any existing and future senior obligations of such guarantors. The Indenture governing these notes contains covenants that limit, among other things, the Company’s 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 the Company’s 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 to us, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, engage in other businesses, sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or merge with or into other companies, and reduce our insurance coverage. In addition, the Company is 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. Offering proceeds were used to repurchase the Company’s 12.875% Senior Secured Notes and 11.5% Second Priority Secured Notes pursuant to a tender offer.
Both the 12.875% Senior Secured Notes and 11.5% Second Priority Secured Notes were repurchased pursuant to a tender offer. Following completion of the tender offer, $2.5 million face value of 11.5% Secured Notes were not tendered and remained outstanding at March 31, 2007. On April 2, 2007, Terra Capital, Inc. (TCAPI) exercised its right to redeem the remaining bonds effective June 1, 2007. On April 2, 2007, sufficient proceeds were deposited with the trustee of the 11.5% Secured Notes to defease the bonds and allow remaining liens to be released.
As a result of the Company’s debt refinancing the Company incurred costs of approximately $31.9 million for tender premiums, and approximately $2.1 million for make-whole payments and administrative expenses. In addition, the Company recognized approximately $4.7 million of expense related to deferred fees on the bonds that were repaid. In connection with the new bond offering the Company paid approximately $5.4 million for fees and administrative costs.

    In the first quarter of 2007, the Company 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 the assets of the Company. 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 the Company’s 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 the Company’s option, a London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). At March 31, 2007, the LIBOR rate was 3.86%. 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 are 0.50% and 1.75%, respectively, at March 31, 2007. 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 March 31, 2007, the Company had no outstanding revolving credit borrowings and $16.6 million in outstanding letters of credit. The $16.6 million in outstanding letters of credit reduced the Company’s borrowing availability to $183.4 million at March 31, 2007. The credit facilities require that the Company 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 the Company’s borrowing availability falls below $60 million, the Company is 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.
 
9.   Pension Plans
 
    Terra maintains 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. The Company also has certain non-qualified pension plans covering executives, which are unfunded. Terra accrues pension costs based upon annual actuarial valuations for each plan and funds these costs in accordance with statutory requirements.

    In the 2006 third quarter, the Pension Protection Act (PPA) was signed into law. Beginning in 2008, the PPA requires the Company’s qualified pension plans to meet a funding target over seven years. Annual cash funding is expected to equal the value of benefits accrued during the year plus one-seventh of any under-funded amount.
 
    Terra also sponsors 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 the Company contributions to these plans for the three-month periods ending March 31, 2007 and 2006 totaled $1.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively.
 
    Terra provides 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.
 
10.   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 (loss) income. Terra’s accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of (a) adjustments that result from translation of Terra’s 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 Terra’s financial statements, (c) the offset to the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities (that qualify as hedged relationships) recorded on the balance sheet, and (d) pension and post-retirement benefit liabilities adjustments.

11.   Industry Segment Data
 
    Terra classifies its operations into two business segments: nitrogen products and methanol. The nitrogen products business produces and distributes ammonia, urea, nitrogen solutions, ammonium nitrate and other products to farm distributors and industrial users. The methanol business manufactures and distributes methanol which is used in the production of a variety of chemical derivatives and in the production of methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE), an oxygenate and an octane enhancer for gasoline. Terra does not allocate interest, income taxes or corporate-related charges to business segments. Included in Other are general corporate activities not attributable to a specific industry segment.

12.   Commitments and Contingencies
 
    The Company is 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 the Company’s 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.
 
    The Company has entered into natural gas supply agreements through December 31, 2007 for approximately 47.6 million MMBtu’s. As of March 31, 2007, these natural gas commitments were $1.9 million above the respective index prices.

13.   Share Information
 
    On April 25, 2006, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase a maximum of 10 percent, or 9,516,817 shares, of its outstanding common stock. The stock buyback program has been and will be conducted on the open market, in private transactions or otherwise at such times prior to June 30, 2008, and at such prices, as determined appropriate by the Company. Purchases may be commenced or suspended at any time without notice. In 2006 there were 2.7 million shares repurchased which resulted in a balance of 6.8 million shares available for repurchase under the program. There were no stock repurchases during the first quarter of 2007.
 
14.   New Accounting Pronouncements
 
    In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 is definitional and disclosure oriented and addresses how companies should approach measuring fair value when required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP); it does not create or modify any current GAAP requirements to apply fair value accounting. SFAS 157 provides a single definition for fair value that is to be applied consistently for all accounting applications, and also generally describes and prioritizes according to reliability the methods and input used in valuations. SFAS 157 prescribes various disclosures about financial statement categories and amounts which are measured at fair value, if such disclosures are not already specified elsewhere in GAAP. The new measurement and disclosure and requirements of SFAS 157 are effective for the Company in 2008 first quarter and the Company expects no significant impact from adopting the Standard.
 
    In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS 159), “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. SFAS 159 is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact SFAS 159 may have on its financial statements.
 
15.   Guarantor Subsidiaries
 
    The consolidating statement of financial position of Terra Industries Inc. (the “Parent”), Terra Capital, Inc. (“TCAPI”), the Guarantor Subsidiaries and subsidiaries of the Parent that are not guarantors of the Senior Secured Notes due 2012 for March 31, 2007; December 31, 2006; and March 31, 2006 are presented below for purposes of complying with the reporting requirements of the Guarantor Subsidiaries. Statements of operations and statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 are presented below for purposes of complying with the reporting requirements of the Guarantor Subsidiaries. The guarantees of the Guarantor Subsidiaries are full and unconditional. The Subsidiary issuer and the Guarantor Subsidiaries guarantees are joint and several with the Parent.
 
    Guarantor subsidiaries include subsidiaries that own the Woodward, Oklahoma; Port Neal, Iowa; Yazoo City, Mississippi, and Beaumont, Texas plants as well as the corporate headquarters facility in Sioux City, Iowa. All guarantor subsidiaries are wholly owned by the Parent. All other company facilities are owned by non-guarantor subsidiaries.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Introduction
Terra produces and markets nitrogen products for agricultural and industrial markets with production facilities located in North America and the United Kingdom. Nitrogen products are commodity chemicals that are sold at prices reflecting global supply and demand conditions. The nitrogen products industry has cycles of oversupply, resulting in lower prices and idled capacity, followed by supply shortages, resulting in high selling prices and higher industry-wide production rates. Natural gas is the most significant raw material in the production of nitrogen and methanol products. In order to be viable in this industry, a producer must be among the low-cost suppliers in the markets it serves and have a financial position that can sustain it during periods of oversupply.
Imports, most of which are produced at facilities with access to fixed-price natural gas supplies, account for a significant portion of U.S. nitrogen product supply. The natural gas costs of imported products have been and could continue to be substantially lower than the delivered cost of natural gas to Terra’s facilities. Off-shore producers are most competitive in regions close to the point of entry for imports, including the Gulf Coast and East Coast of North America. During the period December 2006 to February 2007 import volume to the United States declined by 17 percent compared to the similar period in the proceeding year.
During the three-month period ending March 31, 2007, Terra’s manufacturing plants operated at approximately 88 percent of capacity, compared to 65 percent of capacity in 2006. Terra’s North America plant operating rates improved to 97 percent of capacity from 72 percent in 2006 as the result of increased demand and lower natural gas costs. Terra’s U.K. plant operating rates improved to 50 percent of capacity from 27 percent in 2006 at the result of lower natural gas costs.
Terra’s sales volumes depend primarily on its plants’ operating rates. The Company also purchases product from other manufacturers and importers for resale; however, historic gross margins on these volumes have not been significant. Profitability and cash flows from Terra’s nitrogen products business are affected by the Company’s ability to manage its costs and expenses (other than natural gas), most of which do not materially change for different levels of production or sales. Other factors affecting Terra’s nitrogen products results include the level of planted acres, transportation costs, weather conditions (particularly during the planting season), grain prices and other variables described in Item 1 “Business” and Item 2 “Properties” sections of Terra’s 2006 Form 10-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2007 COMPARED WITH
QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2006
Consolidated Results
Terra reported net income of $7.2 million for the 2007 first quarter compared with 2006 net loss of $24.0 million. The net income increase is primarily due to higher sales volume and prices, offset in part by $38.7 million, pretax, of 2007 losses on early retirement of debt. The 2006 first quarter net loss was primarily due to high natural gas costs, which reached unprecedented levels following late-2005 hurricanes in North America.
Terra classifies its operations into two business segments: nitrogen products and methanol. The nitrogen products segment represents operations directly related to the wholesale sales of nitrogen products from the Company’s ammonia production and upgrading facilities. The methanol segment represents wholesale sales of methanol produced by Terra’s methanol manufacturing plant.
Total revenues and income (loss) from operations by segment for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 follow:

Ammonium nitrate
    318     $ 225       224     $ 225  
 
*After deducting outbound freight costs
Nitrogen products segment revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 increased $90.7 million, or 23%, compared with the same 2006 quarter primarily due to higher nitrogen solutions sales volumes and higher prices for nitrogen solutions, offset by lower prices for ammonia. The volume increase is due to improved demand for

28


Table of Contents

nitrogen products. The increased demand is primarily due to higher corn prices that are projected to increase planted corn acres as compared to 2006.
Operating income for the 2007 first quarter was $64.1 million, which was $89.1 million more than the $25.0 million loss in the 2006 first quarter. Higher first quarter sales volumes and a reduction in costs increased operating income approximately $21.3 million and $81.2 million, respectively. Cost reductions were principally related to lower natural gas costs and higher production rates than during the 2006 first quarter. These improvements were offset by an $8.0 million decrease in average sales prices and a $5.3 million increase to selling, general and administrative expenses.
Methanol
For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the Methanol segment had revenues of $12.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively. In the 2006 first quarter, approximately 0.2 million gallons of methanol were sold at the Woodward, Oklahoma facility compared to approximately 10.1 million gallons of methanol sold in the 2007 first quarter. The Company curtailed production in the first quarter of 2006 as a result of low demand due to high prices caused by unprecedented natural gas prices.
The methanol segment had operating income of $0.8 million for the 2007 first quarter compared to operating loss of $2.8 million for the 2006 first quarter. The increase in operating income was primarily due to the increased sales volumes, as discussed above.
Selling, General and Administrative (SGA) Expense
The first quarter 2007 SGA expense increased $5.3 million to $17.1 million as compared to the 2006 first quarter. The increase is primarily due to expenses associated with share-based compensation, incentive plans and higher professional fees related to a potential U.K. joint venture.
Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased $2.5 in the 2007 first quarter as compared to the 2006 first quarter. The decrease is primarily due to lower operating rates in the first quarter 2007 related to a plant turnaround at Point Lisas Nitrogen Limited in Trinidad.
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 2007 and 2006 amounts are directly related to TNCLP earnings and losses.
Income Taxes
Income taxes for the third quarter 2006 were recorded based on the estimated effective tax rate for the individual jurisdictions in which Terra operates. The annual effective tax rates were 36.5% and 36.0% in the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $233.3 million at March 31, 2007. Terra’s primary uses of cash are to fund its working capital requirements, make payments on its debt and other obligations and fund plant turnarounds and capital expenditures. The principle sources of these cash outlays will be cash flow from operations, cash on hand and borrowings under available bank facilities.
Net cash provided by operations in the first three months of 2007 was $79.6 million, composed of $51.2 million of cash provided from operating activities and $28.4 million from working capital changes. First quarter changes to current assets and liabilities represented seasonal fluctuations to working capital balances. These changes included an increase in customer deposits of $59.0 million, offset by an increase in inventory of $21.8 million and a decrease in accounts payable of $25.9 million. The customer deposits related to prepaid orders that are expected to be fulfilled during the 2007 second quarter. The inventory increases were primarily due to the build up for the spring application season. The changes in accounts payable represented the timing of payments made to vendors. Operating cash flows include $13.8 million of deferred long-term revenues.
During the first three months, Terra funded plant and equipment purchases of $6.7 million primarily for replacement or stay-in-business capital needs. Plant turnaround costs represent cash used for the periodic scheduled major maintenance of the Company’s continuous process production facilities that is performed at each plant, generally every two years. Terra funded $8.8 million of plant turnaround costs in the first three months of 2007.
The total distributions from the Company’s equity-method investments were $17.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2006. There were no distributions in 2007.
In April 2006, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase a maximum of 10%, or 9,516,817 shares, of its outstanding common stock on the open market in private transactions or otherwise. There were no repurchases during the first quarter of 2007.
The Company paid dividends on the outstanding preferred stock of $1.3 million for the three-month periods ending March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Distributions paid to the minority TNCLP common unit holders in the first three months of 2007 and 2006 were $4.5 million and there were no distributions in the first quarter of 2006. TNCLP distributions are based on “Available Cash” as defined in the Partnership Agreement.
In January 2007, Terra Capital, Inc., (“TCAPI”) a subsidiary of Terra Industries Inc., issued $330 million of 7.0% Senior Notes due 2017. The notes are unconditionally guaranteed by Terra Industries Inc. and its U.S. subsidiaries. Fees and expenses of the transaction totaled $5.4 million. These notes and guarantees are unsecured and will rank equal in right of payment with any future senior obligations of such guarantors.
Both the 12.875% Senior Secured Notes and 11.5% Second Priority Secured Notes were repurchased pursuant to a tender offer. Following completion of the tender offer, $2.5 million face value of 11.5% Secured Notes were not tendered and remained outstanding at March 31, 2007. On April 2, 2007, Terra Capital, Inc., (“TCAPI”) exercised its right to redeem the remaining bonds effective June 1, 2007. On April 2, 2007, sufficient funds were deposited with the trustee of the 11.5% Secured Notes to defease the bonds and allow remaining liens to be released.
In the first quarter of 2007, the Company 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

30


Table of Contents

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 Terra’s consolidated subsidiaries. There were no outstanding revolving credit borrowings and there were $16.6 million in outstanding letters of credit, resulting in remaining borrowing availability of approximately $183.4 million under the facilities. The Company is required to maintain a combined minimum unused borrowing availability of $30 million. The credit facility also requires that the Company 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 the Company’s borrowing availability falls below a combined $60 million, the Company is 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.
The Company’s ability to meet credit facility covenants will depend on future 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 the Company’s finished products and natural gas, the Company anticipates that it will be able to meet its covenants through 2007. If there were to be any adverse changes in the factors discussed above, the Company may need a waiver of its credit facility covenants, of which, there is no assurance that the Company could receive such waivers.
Other than the refinancing of debt, with the issuance of $330 million of 7.0% Senior Notes due 2017, there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to the Company’s contractual obligations presented in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2006.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risks relating to Terra’s operations result primarily from interest rates, foreign exchange rates, natural gas prices and nitrogen prices. Terra manages its exposure to these and other market risks through regular operating and financing activities and through the use of derivative financial instruments. Terra intends 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, 2006 provides more information as to the types of practices and instruments used to manage risk.
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 the Company’s position related to forward fixed price sales contracts in determining the level of derivatives necessary. Contracts were in place at March 31, 2007 to cover approximately 11% of its natural gas requirements for the succeeding twelve months. The Company’s 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 its bank agreement covenants.
