As a result, the Registrant is an accelerated filer as of December 31, 2007. For purposes of this computation, shares of the Registrant’s common stock beneficially owned by each executive officer and director of the Registrant and by Jayhawk Capital Management, L.L.C. and its affiliates were deemed to be owned by affiliates of the Registrant as of June 29, 2007. Such determination should not be deemed an admission that such executive officers, directors and other beneficial owners of our common stock are, in fact, affiliates of the Registrant or affiliates as of the date of this Form 10-K.

As of March 7, 2008 the Registrant had 21,106,292 shares of common stock outstanding (excluding 3,448,518 shares of common stock held as treasury stock).

Stockholders

As of March 7, 2008, we had 698 record holders of our common stock. This number does not include investors whose ownership is recorded in the name of their brokerage company.

Dividends

We are a holding company and, accordingly, our ability to pay cash dividends on our preferred stock and our common stock depends in large part on our ability to obtain funds from our subsidiaries. The ability of ThermaClime (which owns substantially all of the companies comprising the Climate Control Business and Chemical Business) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries to pay dividends and to make distributions to us is restricted by certain covenants
 
 
3
 
 
contained in the $50 million revolving credit facility (the “Working Capital Revolver Loan”) and the new $50 million loan agreement due 2012 (the “Secured Term Loan”). Under the terms of these agreements, ThermaClime cannot transfer funds to us in the form of cash dividends or other distributions or advances, except for:

·  
the amount of income taxes that ThermaClime would be required to pay if they were not consolidated with us;
·  
an amount not to exceed fifty percent (50%) of ThermaClime's consolidated net income during each fiscal year determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles plus amounts paid to us within the first bullet above, provided that certain other conditions are met;
·  
the amount of direct and indirect costs and expenses incurred by us on behalf of ThermaClime pursuant to a certain services agreement;
·  
amounts under a certain management agreement between us and ThermaClime, provided certain conditions are met, and
·  
outstanding loans entered into subsequent to November 2, 2007 in excess of $2.0 million at any time.

As of December 31, 2007, we have issued and outstanding 1,000,000 shares of Series D Preferred, 585 shares Non-Cumulative Preferred and 20,000 shares of Series B 12% Convertible, Cumulative Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred"). Each share of preferred stock is entitled to receive an annual dividend, only when declared by our board of directors, payable as follows:

·  
Series D Preferred at the rate of $.06 a share payable on October 9, which dividend is cumulative;
·  
Non-Cumulative Preferred at the rate of $10.00 a share payable April 1, which are non-cumulative; and
·  
Series B Preferred at the rate of $12.00 a share payable January 1, which dividend is cumulative.
 
Our board of directors has declared the following dividends, payable on March 31, 2008, to holders of record on March 21, 2008:
 
 
·  
$12.00 per share on our outstanding Series B Preferred for an aggregate dividend of $240,000;
 
·  
$  0.06 per share on our outstanding Series D Preferred for an aggregate dividend of $60,000; and
 
·  
$10.00 per share on our outstanding Non-Cumulative Preferred for an aggregate dividend of $5,845.
 
All shares of Series B Preferred and Series D Preferred are owned by Jack E. Golsen, our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, members of his immediate family (spouse and children), including Barry H. Golsen, our Vice Chairman and President, entities owned by them and trusts for which they possess voting or dispositive power as trustee.

Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends only when declared by our board of directors. We have not paid cash dividends on our outstanding common stock in many years, and we do not currently anticipate paying cash dividends on our outstanding common stock in the foreseeable future. However, our board of directors has not made a definitive decision whether or not to pay such dividends in 2008.
