Note 11: Related Party Transactions

No dividends were declared during the first nine months of 2018 or 2017.  At September 30, 2018, accumulated dividends on the Series B and Series D Preferred totaled approximately $903,000. The Series B Preferred and Series D Preferred are non-redeemable preferred stocks issued in 1986 and 2001, respectively, of which all outstanding shares are owned by the Golsen Holders.

During the second quarter of 2018, we sold $500,000 principal amount of notes to Daniel D. Greenwell, our Chief Executive Officer, associated with the issuance and sale of the Senior Secured Notes discussed in footnote (B) of Note 6.  

In September 2017, we received $2,300,000 as an advance payment on the sale (which sale closed in October 2017) of our engineered products business (industrial machinery and related components) to Industrial Acquisitions LLC and Industrial Products LLC (both entities are owned by immediate family members of Jack E. Golsen).  During the first quarter of 2017, a death benefit agreement with Jack E. Golsen was terminated pursuant to the terms of the agreement that allowed us to terminate at any time and for any reason prior to the death of the employee.  As a result, the liability of approximately $1,400,000 for the estimated death benefit associated with this agreement was extinguished and derecognized with the offset classified as operating other income in the first quarter of 2017.
