Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.
(a) Previous Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.
     On December 21, 2006, LSB Corporation (the “Company”) dismissed KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as its independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors participated in and approved the decision to change its independent registered public accounting firm.
     KPMG’s audit reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for each of the past two fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.
     During the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and through December 28, 2006, there were (1) no disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to KPMG’s satisfaction would have caused them to make reference thereto in the audit reports of the financial statements for such periods and (2) no reportable events as defined in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
     We have provided KPMG with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested from them a letter addressed to the SEC indicating whether they agree with these disclosures. A copy of their letter dated December 28, 2006 is attached as Exhibit 16 hereto.
(b) New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.
     On December 21, 2006, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the engagement of Wolf and Company (“Wolf”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors participated in and approved the engagement of Wolf and Company (“Wolf”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
     During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and through December 28, 2006, the Company did not consult with Wolf regarding either (1) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, or (2) any matter that was either the subject of disagreement or reportable events.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are currently principal accountants for LSB Corporation and, under the date of March 21, 2006, we reported on the consolidated financial statements of LSB Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. On December 21, 2006, we were notified that the auditor-client relationship with KPMG LLP will cease upon completion of the audit of LSB Corporation’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006, and the issuance of our report thereon. We have read LSB Corporation’s statements included under Item 4.01(a) of its Form 8-K dated December 28, 2006, and we agree with such statements, except that we are not in a position to agree or disagree with LSB Corporation’s statement that the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors participated in and approved the decision to change its independent registered public accounting firm.
Very truly yours,
(KPMG LLP logo )
/s/ KPMG LLP
