Securities
covered by this prospectus
|
$1,000,000
aggregate principal amount of 7% convertible senior subordinated
debentures due 2011. A total of $18,000,000 aggregate principal amount
of
the debentures were included in the original prospectus included
in the
registration statement, and $17,000,000 aggregate principal amount
of such
debentures were converted prior to the date of this prospectus into
shares
of common stock. In connection with certain of the prior conversions,
we
agreed to pay certain holders interest through the March 1, 2007,
interest
payment date, although the debentures owned by them were converted
prior
to such time. Only $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the debentures
remain outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. We have been
informed by the holder of the remaining $1,000,000 principal amount
of
debentures that it intends to convert the debentures into common
stock.
See “Recent Development.”
|
2,542,500
shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share. Of such number,
2,401,248 shares have been issued upon conversion of $17,000,000
aggregate
principal amount of the debentures.
|
Maturity
date of debentures

March
1, 2011, unless earlier converted, redeemed or
repurchased.

Interest
on debentures
|
7%

|
Ranking
of debentures
|
The
debentures are unsecured and subordinated in right of payment to
the prior
payment in full of all of our existing and future senior indebtedness
and
effectively subordinated to the indebtedness and all of the other
liabilities, including trade payables, of our subsidiaries. As of
December
31, 2006, we had approximately $116.4 million of senior indebtedness
outstanding, including approximately $91.5 million of indebtedness
of our
subsidiaries which we have guaranteed. The debentures will also
effectively be subordinated to all other present or future liabilities,
including our subsidiaries’ trade payables, which as of December 31, 2006,
totaled approximately $45.7 million. Therefore, as of December 31,
2006,
the debentures are effectively subordinate to a total of $162.1 million
of
senior indebtedness, including the liabilities of our subsidiaries.
Additionally, the debentures may be subordinated to approximately
$6.95
million senior unsecured debentures due 2007 which the Company owned
as of
December 31, 2006. See “Risk Factors.” Neither we nor our subsidiaries are
prohibited from incurring additional debt, including senior indebtedness,
under the indenture.
|
Conversion
of debentures
|
The
debentures are convertible by holders in whole or in part into shares
of
our common stock, at any time prior to their maturity on March 1,
2011.
The conversion rate of debentures for holders electing to convert
all or
any portion of a debenture prior to September 1, 2006, was 125 shares
per
$1,000 principal amount of debentures (representing a conversion
price of
$8.00 per share) and the conversation rate for the period from September
1, 2006 to February 28, 2007 was 141.25 shares per $1,000 principal
amount
of debentures (representing a conversion price of approximately $7.08
per
share). Holders of debentures electing to convert all or any portion
of a
debenture on or after March 1, 2007, and before March 1, 2009, will
obtain
the following conversion rate per $1,000
|
principal
amount of debentures during the dates indicated: March 1, 2007 to
August
31, 2007, 141.04 shares (representing a conversion price of approximately
$7.09 per share); September 1, 2007 to February 29, 2008, 137.27
shares
(representing a conversion price of approximately $7.28 per share);
March
1, 2008 to August 31, 2008, 133.32 shares (representing a conversion
price
of approximately $7.50 per share); and September 1, 2008 to February
28,
2009 is 129.23 shares (representing a conversion price of approximately
$7.74 per share). On March 1, 2009, the conversion rate returns to
125
shares per $1,000 principal amount of debentures (representing a
conversion price of $8.00 per share), until their maturity on March
1,
2011. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment. See “Description of
Debentures—Conversion of debentures.”
|
If
a holder elects to convert its debentures in connection with certain
changes in control, as defined herein, which occur prior to the maturity
date, the holder will be entitled to receive additional shares of
our
common stock as a make-whole premium upon conversion under certain
circumstances. See “Description of Debentures — Conversion of
debentures.”
|
Sinking fund as to debentures | None. |
Optional
redemption of debentures
|
Beginning
March 1, 2009, we may redeem the debentures either in whole or in
part,
upon at least 30 and not more than 60 days’ notice, at a redemption price,
payable at our option in cash or, subject to certain conditions (see
“—
Payment of debentures in shares” below), shares of our common stock, equal
to 100% of the principal amount of the debentures to be redeemed,
plus
accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption
date, if: (1) the closing sale prices of our common stock for at
least 20
of the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day prior
to the
date we mail a notice of redemption, exceeds 115% of the adjusted
conversion price of the debenture; (2) our common stock is listed
on a
U.S. national securities exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market; and
(3) a
registration statement covering resales of the debentures and the
common
stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures is effective and
expected
to remain effective and available for use during the 30 days following
the
redemption date, unless registration is no longer required. See
“Description of Debentures — Optional redemption by
LSB.”
|
Payment
of debentures in shares
|
We
may elect to pay the redemption price in shares of our common stock
if, on
the date of redemption: (1) our common stock is listed on a U.S.
national
securities exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market; (2) the shares used
to pay
the redemption price are freely tradeable; and (3) we receive certain
required opinions of counsel. Payments made with shares of our common
stock will be valued at 95% of the weighted average of the closing
sale
prices of our common stock for the 20 consecutive trading days ending
on
the fifth trading day prior to the redemption date. We will publicly
announce the number of shares of our common stock to be paid as the
redemption price, per each $1,000 principal amount of debentures
to be
redeemed, not later than the fourth trading day prior to the redemption
date.
|
We
may elect to pay, at maturity, up to 50% of the principal amount
of the
debentures, plus accrued and unpaid interest due thereon at maturity,
in
shares of our common stock if, on the maturity date: (1) our common
stock
continues to be listed on a U.S. national securities exchange or
the
NASDAQ Stock Market, (2) the shares used to pay the debentures and
any
interest thereon are freely tradeable, and (3) we receive certain
required
opinions of counsel. Payments made with our shares of common stock
will be
valued at 95% of the weighted average of the closing prices of our
common
stock for the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the fifth trading
day
prior to the maturity date. We will publicly announce the number
of shares
of our common stock to be paid per
|
each
$1,000 principal amount of debentures on the maturity date, not later
than
the fourth trading day prior to the maturity
date.
|
of
the holder upon a designated event
|
If
a designated event (as described under “Description of Debentures —
Repurchase at option of the Holder upon a designated event”) occurs prior
to maturity, holders may require us to purchase, in cash, all or
part of
the holder’s debentures at a repurchase price equal to 101% of their
principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but
excluding, the repurchase date.
|
Make-whole
premium of debentures
|
If
a fundamental change occurs on or before September 1, 2009, we will
pay a
make-whole premium on the debentures converted in connection with
the
fundamental change, payable in shares of our common stock or the
consideration into which our common stock has been converted or exchanged
in connection with the fundamental change. The amount of the make-whole
premium, if any, will be based on the stock price in the fundamental
change transaction and the date of the fundamental change transaction.
A
description of how the make-whole premium will be determined and
a table
showing the make-whole premium that would apply at various stock
prices
and effective dates is set forth under “Description of Debentures -
Conversion of debentures—Make-whole
premium.”
|
No
proceeds
|
We
will not receive any proceeds from the sale made from time to time
under
this prospectus by the Selling Security Holders of the debentures
or our
common stock. See “No Proceeds.”
|
Registration
rights
|
We
entered into a registration rights agreement with each Selling Security
Holder and filed a registration statement with the SEC covering the
resale
of the debentures and the common stock issuable upon conversion of
the
debentures. The registration statement was declared effective by
the SEC
on May 26, 2006. We agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts
to keep
the registration statement effective until the earlier of the date
that
all registrable securities have ceased to be registrable securities
or
three years following the closing of the issuance of the debentures,
which
is March 3, 2009. This prospectus is part of the registration statement.
See “Description of Debentures — Registration rights of the debenture
holders.”
|
the
Debentures
|
We
cannot assure you that any active or liquid market will develop for
the
debentures. See “Plan of
Distribution.”
|
Trading
|
We
do not intend to apply to list the debentures on any national securities
exchange or to include the debentures in any automated quotation
system.
Qualified institutional buyers may trade the debentures in the Private
Offerings, Resale and Trading through Automated Linkages Market,
commonly
referred to as the PORTAL Market. The debentures sold using this
prospectus, however, will no longer be eligible for trading in the
PORTAL
Market.

Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “1993 Plan”) and 1998 Stock Option
Plan (the “1998 Plan”). As of March 29, 2007, 38,000 shares are issuable
under outstanding options granted under the 1993 Plan, and no additional
shares are available for future issuance. As of March 29, 2007,
468,304
shares are issuable under outstanding options granted under the 1998
Plan,
and 8,000
additional shares are available for future issuance. The 1993 Plan
and
1998 Plan each authorize us to grant options to purchase common stock
to
our employees. All outstanding options granted to employees under
these
plans have a term of ten years and become exercisable as to 20% of
the
underlying shares after one year from date of grant, 40% after two
years,
70% after three years, and 100% after four years. However, our board
of
directors accelerated the vesting of all options outstanding as of
December 31, 2005, and outstanding options under the 1993 Plan and
1998
Plan are fully exercisable. The exercise price of outstanding options
granted under these plans is equal to the market value of our common
stock
at the date of grant. However, with respect to participants who own
10% or
more of our common stock at the date of grant, the options have a
term of
five years, and the exercise price is 110% of the market value at
the date
of grant.

Outside
Directors Stock Option Plan (the “Outside Directors Plan”). As of March
29, 2007, 90,000 shares are issuable under outstanding options granted
under the Outside Directors Plan and 295,000 additional shares are
available for future issuance. The Outside Directors Plan authorizes
us to
grant options to purchase common stock to each member of our board
of
directors who is not an officer or employee of ours or our subsidiaries.
These options become fully exercisable after six months and one day
from
the date of grant and lapse at the end of ten years. The exercise
price of
options granted under the Outside Directors Plan is equal to the
market
value of our common stock at the date of grant.

Private
Placement of Common Stock and Warrants.
Effective March 25, 2003, the Company completed a private placement
to
Jayhawk Institutional Partners, L.P. ("Jayhawk") of 450,000 shares
of the
Company's common stock and a five year warrant to purchase up to
112,500
share of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $3.49
per
share, subject to anti-dilution adjustments under certain conditions.
Jayhawk was also granted certain registration rights, which Jayhawk
elected not to exercise in connection with this Registration Statement.
The total price paid by Jayhawk to the Company for the shares of
common
stock and the warrant was $1,570,500. The average closing price of
the
Company's common stock over the 30-day period prior to the transaction
was
$3.49. The net proceeds of the private placement were used to repay
certain debt of the Company. Jayhawk represented to the Company that
it is
an accredited investor, as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation
D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"). In addition, Jayhawk received all information
as
required under Rule 502 of Regulation D. In reliance upon these and
other
representations made by Jayhawk, the private placement was exempt
from
registration as a nonpublic offering pursuant to Section 4(2) of
the
Securities Act and pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated
under
the Securities Act.
|
2. |
Private
Placement of Debentures.
On March 14, 2006, the Company completed a private placement, effective
as
of March 3, 2006, to seven qualified institutional buyers (“QIBs”),
pursuant to which the Company sold $18 million aggregate principal
amount
of its 7% Convertible Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2011 pursuant
to
the exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act of
1933, as amended (the “Act”), afforded by Section 4(2) of the Act and/or
Regulation D promulgated under the Act. The debentures are eligible
for
resale by the investors under Rule144A under the Act prior to registration
of the debentures. J Giordano Securities Group acted as the Company’s
exclusive placement agent for this transaction and was paid an aggregate
of 6% of the aggregate gross proceeds in the financing. Aggregate
estimated offering expenses in connection with the transaction, including
discounts and commissions, were approximately $.4 million. In connection
with the closing, the Company entered into an indenture (the “Indenture”)
with UMB Bank, n.a., as trustee (the “Trustee”), governing the debentures.
The Trustee is also the Company’s transfer agent. The Trustee receives
customary compensation from the Company for such services. Pursuant
to the
terms and conditions of a registration rights agreement entered into
between us and each of the QIBs, the Company has registered for resale
the
debentures and the common stock issuable upon conversion of the
debentures. This post effective amendment is filed to requirements
of the
registration rights agreement.
|
3. |
Exchange
Agreements.
The Company issued a total of 773,655 shares of common stock upon
separate
exchanges of shares of the Company’s outstanding Series 2 Preferred for
shares of common stock. Each exchange was completed pursuant to separate
Exchange Agreements with the holder of the Series 2 Preferred, each
of
which provided for (a) the issuance of 7.4 shares of common stock
in
exchange for each share of the Series 2 Preferred beneficially owned
by
the holder and (b) the waiver by the holder of all of the holders
rights
to all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series 2 Preferred. Each
Exchange Agreement was solicited by and negotiated with each holder.
Neither the Company nor any holder paid or gave, or agreed to pay
or give,
directly or indirectly, any commission or other remuneration for
soliciting each exchange. The exchanges were conducted under the
exemption
from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) the Securities Act.
No
fractional shares were issued, so cash was paid in lieu of any additional
shares. The following lists:
|
· |

the Company and entered into an Exchange
