issued Accounting Standards Update (&#147;ASU&#148;) 2009-17, <I>Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities</I> (&#147;ASU 2009-17&#148;). ASU 2009-17 codified Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No.&nbsp;167, <I>Amendments to FASB Interpretation No.&nbsp;46(R)</I>)<I>, </I>which changed the consolidation guidance applicable to a variable interest entity (&#147;VIE&#148;). ASU 2009-17 updated the guidance governing the
determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and is, therefore, required to consolidate such VIE, by requiring a qualitative analysis rather than a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis includes, among other
things, consideration of whether the enterprise has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity&#146;s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of
the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. ASU 2009-17 also requires continuous reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Previously, FASB Accounting Standards Codification (&#147;ASC&#148;) 810,
<I>Consolidation</I>, required reconsideration of whether an enterprise was the primary beneficiary of a VIE only when specific events had occurred. Qualifying special purpose entities, which were previously exempt from the application of this
standard, are now subject to the provisions of ASU 2009-17. In addition, ASU 2009-17 also requires enhanced disclosures about an enterprise&#146;s involvement with a VIE. The provisions of ASU 2009-17 were effective as of the beginning of interim
and annual reporting periods that began after November&nbsp;15, 2009. Based on our evaluation of ASU 2009-17, we deconsolidated Mid-America Carbonates, LLC (&#147;MAC&#148;) upon adoption, effective January&nbsp;1, 2010 (Note 13). The
deconsolidation of MAC did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. </FONT></P>

coal out of the mine. On July&nbsp;19, 2010, White County Coal&#146;s efforts to repair the vertical hoist conveyor system had progressed sufficiently to allow resumption of limited production operations. Our operating expenses for the nine months
ended September&nbsp;30, 2010 includes $1.2 million for retirement of certain assets related to the failed vertical hoist conveyor system in addition to other repair and clean-up expenses that were not significant on a consolidated or segment basis.
We are conducting a final review of our commercial property (including business interruption) insurance policies, which at the time of the equipment failure provided for self-retention, various deductibles and 22% co-insurance for the first $50
million in coverage. As the loss on the vertical hoist conveyor system did not exceed our deductible for property damage, we currently believe recovery is unlikely under such policies. </FONT></P>

things, the amount of distributions by our Intermediate Partnership, the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, the sale of assets, the making of investments, the entry into mergers and consolidations and the entry into transactions with
affiliates, in each case subject to various exceptions. The ARLP Debt Arrangements also require the Intermediate Partnership to remain in control of a certain amount of mineable coal reserves relative to its annual production. In addition, the ARLP
Debt Arrangements require our Intermediate Partnership to maintain the following: (i)&nbsp;debt to cash flow ratio of not more than 3.0 to 1.0, (ii)&nbsp;cash flow to interest expense ratio of not less than 4.0 to 1.0, in each case, during the four
most recently ended fiscal quarters and (iii)&nbsp;maximum annual capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, of $471.8 million for 2010. The debt to cash flow ratio and cash flow to interest expense ratio were 0.77 to 1.0 and 17.5 to 1.0,
respectively, for the trailing twelve months ended September&nbsp;30, 2010. Actual capital expenditures were $233.8 million for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2010. We were in compliance with the covenants of the ARLP Debt Arrangements as

would not fund its proportionate share of the borrowing. As a result, as of February&nbsp;11, 2010, Lehman became a defaulting lender and on October&nbsp;6, 2010, was removed as a commitment holder under the ARLP Credit Facility. Consequently,

(&#147;EPU&#148;). Net Income of ARLP is allocated to the general partners and limited partners in accordance with their respective partnership percentages, after giving effect to any special income or expense allocations, including incentive
distributions to our managing general partner, the holder of the IDR pursuant to our partnership agreement, which are declared and paid following the end of each quarter. Under the quarterly IDR provisions of our partnership agreement, our managing
general partner is entitled to receive 15% of the amount we distribute in excess of $0.275 per unit, 25% of the amount we distribute in excess of $0.3125 per unit, and 50% of the amount we distribute in excess of $0.375 per unit. Our partnership
agreement contractually limits our distributions to available cash and therefore, undistributed earnings of the ARLP Partnership are not allocated to the IDR holder. In addition, our outstanding unvested awards under our Long-Term Incentive Plan
(&#147;LTIP&#148;) include rights to nonforfeitable distributions and are therefore considered participating securities. As such, we allocate undistributed and distributed earnings to the outstanding unvested awards in our calculation of EPU.

related to coal workers&#146; Black Lung providing automatic extension of awarded lifetime benefits to surviving spouses and providing changes to the legal criteria used to assess and award claims. We are presently unable to estimate the impact of
this legislation on our obligations and our future service period charges related to future claims due to uncertainty about the number of claims that will be filed, how the new award criteria will impact these claim populations and the effect of
regulations relating to the retroactive application of certain criteria. We expect to complete an evaluation of the obligation by the end of fiscal year 2010 assuming regulations are issued by that time. For more information, please read &#147;Part

maintain the LTIP for certain employees and officers of our managing general partner and its affiliates who perform services for us. The LTIP awards are grants of non-vested notional units, which upon satisfaction of vesting requirements entitle the
LTIP participant to receive ARLP common units. On January&nbsp;26, 2010, the compensation committee of the board of directors (&#147;Compensation Committee&#148;) determined that the vesting requirements for the 2007 grants of 88,975 units (which
are net of 4,500 forfeitures) had been satisfied as of January&nbsp;1, 2010. As a result of this vesting, on February&nbsp;12, 2010, we issued 55,826 unrestricted common units to LTIP participants. The remaining units were settled in cash to satisfy
the individual tax withholding obligations for the LTIP participants. On February&nbsp;1, 2010, the Compensation Committee authorized additional grants up to 143,145 restricted units, of which 138,130 were granted during the nine months ended
September&nbsp;30, 2010, all of which will vest on January&nbsp;1, 2013 subject to satisfaction of certain financial tests. The fair value of these 2010 grants is equal to the intrinsic value at the date of grant, which was $39.59 per unit on a
weighted average basis. LTIP expense was $1.0 million, $0.9 million, $2.9 million and $2.7 million for the three and nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. On October&nbsp;23, 2009, our unitholders approved the third
amendment (&#147;Third Amendment&#148;) to the LTIP. The Third Amendment was previously authorized by the Board of Directors of our managing general partner, subject to unitholder approval. The Third Amendment increased the number of units available
for issuance under the LTIP from 1.2&nbsp;million to 3.6&nbsp;million, providing 2.4&nbsp;million units for satisfaction of future awards. After consideration of the January&nbsp;1, 2010 vesting and subsequent issuance of 55,826 common units,
approximately 2.3&nbsp;million units remain available for issuance in the future, assuming all grants issued in 2008, 2009 and 2010 currently outstanding are settled with common units and no future forfeitures occur. </FONT></P>

total obligation associated with the LTIP was $6.5 million and is included in the partners&#146; capital-limited partners line item in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. </FONT></P>

expected to contribute $9.8 million to the Pension Plan in 2010 for the 2009 plan year. During 2010, we received a final funding report for the 2009 plan year, which included updated assumptions on expected retirement patterns, interest rate
analysis and asset value method. The finalization of these assumptions significantly decreased our required funding in 2010 for the 2009 plan year. During the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2010, we made contribution payments of $1.1 million
and $1.4 million for the 2009 and 2010 plan years, respectively. No further contribution payments are required for the 2009 plan year. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:18px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P>

diversified producer and marketer of coal primarily to major United States (&#147;U.S.&#148;) utilities and industrial users. We began mining operations in 1971 and, since then, have grown through acquisitions and internal development to become what
we believe to be the fifth largest coal producer in the eastern U.S. We operate nine mining complexes in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland and West Virginia. We are constructing a new mining complex in West Virginia. We also operate a coal
loading terminal on the Ohio River at Mt. Vernon, Indiana. As is customary in the coal industry, we have entered into long-term coal supply agreements with many of our customers. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We have four reportable segments: Illinois Basin, Central Appalachia, Northern Appalachia and Other and Corporate. The first three
segments correspond to the three major coal producing regions in the eastern U.S. Coal quality, coal seam height, mining and transportation methods and regulatory issues are similar within each of these three segments. </FONT></P>

March&nbsp;23, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Additionally, on March&nbsp;30, 2010, President Obama signed into law a reconciliation measure, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of
2010. The passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (collectively, the &#147;Health Care Act&#148;) will result in comprehensive changes to health care in the U.S. Implementation
of this legislation is planned to occur in phases, with standard plan changes taking effect beginning in 2010, but to a greater extent with the 2011 benefit plan year and extending through 2018. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Health Care Act has both short-term and long-term implications on benefit plan eligibility, coverage requirements, and benefit
standards and limitations. In the short term, our health care costs are expected to increase due to raising the maximum age and easing of eligibility limitations for covered dependents. The Health Care Act also prevents the group health plan from
limiting benefit payments for participants who meet or exceed annual or lifetime dollar limits per covered individual. We do not currently expect raising the maximum age and easing of eligibility limitations for covered dependents to significantly
increase our annual health care costs beginning in 2011. In addition, we currently expect removing the lifetime maximum to have an additional impact on us that we are unable to reasonably estimate at this time. While historically few participants
have reached the plan lifetime maximum limit of $1 million, future federal and state mandates are expected to impact large claims costs and make this a potentially greater risk variable in the future. In the long term, our plan&#146;s health care
costs are expected to increase for various reasons due to the Health Care Act, including the potential impact of an excise tax on &#147;high cost&#148; plans (beginning in 2018), among other standard requirements. We have chosen not to
&#147;grandfather&#148; our health care plan as allowed under the Health Care Act. Maintaining &#147;grandfather&#148; status prevents the plan from making plan benefit modifications that encourage participants to use high value, lower cost medical
care options such as on-site medical services, generic preferred medications, and urgent care centers instead of emergency rooms. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We anticipate that certain government agencies will provide additional regulations or interpretations concerning the application of the Health Care Act and reporting required thereunder. Until these
regulations or interpretations are published, we are unable to reasonably estimate the further impact of such federal mandate requirements on our future health care costs. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We will continue to evaluate the potential impact of the legislation on our self-insured long term disability plan, pneumoconiosis (&#147;Black Lung&#148;) liabilities, results of operations and internal
controls as governmental agencies issue interpretations regarding the meaning and scope of the Health Care Act. However, we believe it is likely that our costs will increase as a result of these provisions, which may have an adverse impact on our
results of operations and cash flows. </FONT></P>

Protection Act (&#147;Dodd &#150; Frank Act&#148;). The Dodd Frank Act gives regulators new resolution authority, creates a new council to monitor and address systemic risk, changes the mandate of the Federal Reserve, imposes significant new
regulations on banking organizations, makes significant changes to the rules that affect the process of financing business enterprises and creates a new governmental authority, the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, to regulate retail
financial products and services, among many other provisions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The additional regulations imposed by the Dodd &#150; Frank Act
on financial institutions may result in increased costs associated with future borrowings and decreased availability of credit. However, we are presently unable to determine the significance of any potential increase in our borrowing costs or
potential liquidity constraints, if any. The Dodd &#150; Frank Act also requires public mining companies to report certain safety information in each periodic report filed with the SEC and to file current reports on Form 8-K for certain safety
matters. We are continuing to evaluate the effect of the Dodd &#150; Frank Act on the Partnership&#146;s operations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Three Months Ended

$73.2 million for the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2010 (&#147;2010 Quarter&#148;) compared to $36.4 million for the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2009 (&#147;2009 Quarter&#148;). This increase of $36.8 million was principally due
to record tons sold and improved pricing resulting in a record quarterly average coal sales price of $51.68 per ton sold, as compared to $45.58 per ton sold for the 2009 Quarter. We had record tons sold of 7.7&nbsp;million tons and higher tons
produced of 7.1&nbsp;million tons in the 2010 Quarter, compared to 6.2&nbsp;million tons sold and 6.3&nbsp;million tons produced in the 2009 Quarter. This increase in produced tons primarily reflects increased production from our new River View
mine. Higher operating expenses during the 2010 Quarter resulted primarily from increased sales and production volumes, which particularly impacted materials and supplies expenses, sales-related expenses and labor and labor-related expenses.
Increased operating expenses also reflect the new incidental production at our Tunnel Ridge mine development project and higher Northern Appalachia third-party contract mining costs. </FONT></P>

Coal sales for the 2010 Quarter increased 40.8% to $396.7 million from $281.6 million for the 2009 Quarter. The increase of $115.1 million in coal sales reflected the benefit of record tons sold (contributing $68.2 million in coal sales) and record
average coal sales prices (contributing $46.9 million in additional coal sales). Average coal sales prices in the 2010 Quarter increased $6.10 per ton sold to $51.68 per ton in the 2010 Quarter compared to $45.58 per ton in the 2009 Quarter

excluded as these expenses are passed through to our customers and, consequently, we do not realize any gain or loss on transportation revenues. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense is used as a supplemental financial measure by our management to assess
the operating performance of our segments. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense is a key component of EBITDA in addition to coal sales and other sales and operating revenues. The exclusion of corporate general and administrative expenses from Segment
Adjusted EBITDA Expense allows management to focus solely on the evaluation of segment operating performance as it primarily relates to our operating expenses. Outside coal purchases are included in Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense because tons sold
and coal sales include sales from outside coal purchases. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE>

$70.1 million in the 2009 Quarter. The increase of $44.1 million was primarily attributable to a 27.4% increase in tons sold to 6.3&nbsp;million tons in the 2010 Quarter, as well as strong contract pricing reflecting a higher average coal sales
price of $47.67 per ton sold during the 2010 Quarter compared to $42.11 per ton sold for the 2009 Quarter. Coal sales increased 44.2% to $299.2 million in the 2010 Quarter compared to $207.4 million in the 2009 Quarter. The increase of $91.8 million
primarily reflects increased sales from our new River View mine (which commenced operations in August 2009 and continued to expand production during 2010). Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense for the 2010 Quarter increased 34.6% to $185.2 million
from $137.6 million in the 2009 Quarter and increased $1.58 per ton sold to $29.51 from $27.93 per ton sold, primarily as a result of certain cost increases described above under consolidated operating expenses, as well as ongoing production
restrictions related to the failure of the vertical hoist system at the Pattiki mine and a two week production disruption at our Gibson mine due to a roof fall on the main belt line. For more information on our Pattiki mine, please read &#147;Part

to strong contract pricing reflecting a higher average coal sales price of $78.18 per ton sold during the 2010 Quarter compared to $68.43 per ton sold for the 2009 Quarter, partially offset by lower sales volumes as a result of reduced production
due to the impact of heightened regulatory oversight, lower clean coal recovery due to mining conditions and the continued impact of idling one mining unit at Pontiki in July 2009. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense per ton sold during the 2010 Quarter
increased to $62.52 compared to $57.64 per ton sold in the 2009 Quarter, an increase of $4.88 per ton sold reflecting certain cost increases described above under consolidated operating expenses, as well as lower production volumes described above.
Although Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense per ton sold increased in the 2010 Quarter, Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense for the 2010 Quarter decreased 4.8% to $33.2 million from $34.8 million in the 2009 Quarter primarily as a result of lower coal

impact of the deconsolidation of MAC effective January&nbsp;1, 2010, lower EBITDA associated with Matrix Group safety equipment sales to our other subsidiaries (which are eliminated upon consolidation) and lower Mt. Vernon outside transloading
revenues, partially offset by higher coal brokerage sales and higher EBITDA resulting from increased third-party safety equipment sales and services revenue at Matrix Design. Other sales and operating revenues increased 13.9% to $10.8 million for
the 2010 Quarter compared to $9.5 million for the 2009 Quarter. The increase of $1.3 million was primarily attributable to increased services revenue and sales of mine safety equipment by the Matrix Group. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense increased

Coal sales for the 2010 Period increased 30.1% to $1.1 billion from $881.5 million for the 2009 Period. The increase of $265.2 million in coal sales reflected the benefit of increased tons sold (contributing $172.7 million in coal sales) and higher
average coal sales prices (contributing $92.5 million in additional coal sales). Average coal sales prices increased $4.10 per ton sold to $50.86 per ton in the 2010 Period as compared to the 2009 Period, primarily as a result of improved contract
pricing across all regions. </FONT></P>

combined to increase certain operating expenses $87.0 million during the 2010 Period over the 2009 Period and are generally included in the variances discussed further below. In addition to the impact of record volumes, operating expenses were

$237.9 million for the 2009 Period. The increase of $106.3 million was primarily attributable to increased tons sold, which increased 23.5% to 18.5&nbsp;million tons sold in the 2010 Period, as well as improved contract pricing resulting in a higher
average coal sales price of $47.43 per ton during the 2010 Period compared to $43.27 per ton for the 2009 Period. Coal sales increased 35.4% to $875.8 million in the 2010 Period compared to $646.9 million in the 2009 Period. The increase of $228.9
million primarily reflects increased sales from our new River View mine (which commenced operations in August of 2009 and continued to expand production during the 2010 Period) and the negative impact of weather disruptions in the 2009 Period at our
Dotiki, Warrior and Elk Creek mines, partially offset by production disruptions at our Dotiki, Gibson and Pattiki mines during the 2010 Period. Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense for the 2010 Period increased 29.9% to $532.6 million from $410.1
million in the 2009 Period and increased $1.41 per ton sold to $28.84 from $27.43 per ton sold, primarily as a result of certain cost increases described above under consolidated operating expenses as well as a $1.2 million loss on the retirement of
certain assets related to the failure of the vertical hoist conveyor system at our Pattiki mine and the aforementioned production disruptions at our Dotiki, Gibson and Pattiki mines. For more information on our Pattiki mine, please read &#147;Part

result of lower sales volumes due to reduced coal demand in the spot market during the 2010 Period, the impact of heightened regulatory oversight, lower clean coal recovery due to mining conditions and the continued impact of idling one mining unit
at Pontiki in July 2009, partially offset by improved contract pricing in the 2010 Period that resulted in an increase in the average coal sales price of $3.94 per ton to $72.59 per ton in the 2010 Period, as compared to $68.65 per ton in the 2009
Period. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense per ton sold during the 2010 Period increased to $58.29 compared to $53.85 per ton sold, an increase of $4.44 per ton sold, reflecting certain cost increases described above under consolidated operating
expenses, as well as the impact of lower coal sales volumes and decreased coal production in response to lower spot market demand and lower productivity due to Pontiki&#146;s transition from the depleted Pond Creek coal seam into the thinner Van
Lear coal seam during the 2009 Period. Although Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense per ton sold increased, Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense for the 2010 Period decreased 8.3% to $97.9 million from $106.8 million in the 2009 Period primarily as a result

decreased to $5.7 million in the 2010 Period from $8.1 million in the 2009 Period. The decrease of $2.4 million was primarily attributable to the impact of the deconsolidation of MAC effective January&nbsp;1, 2010, lower EBITDA associated with
Matrix Group safety equipment sales to our other subsidiaries (which are eliminated upon consolidation), a loss in the 2010 Period compared to a gain in the 2009 Period associated with United Kingdom (&#147;UK&#148;) currency previously held for
future equipment purchases from a UK supplier and lower Mt. Vernon outside transloading revenues and affiliate administrative service revenues, partially offset by higher EBITDA resulting from increased third-party safety equipment sales and
services revenue at Matrix Design. For more information about MAC, please read &#147;Part I. Item&nbsp;1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)&nbsp;&#150; Note 13. Noncontrolling Interest&#148; of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Other sales and
operating revenues increased 19.2% to $32.1 million for the 2010 Period compared to $27.0 million for the 2009 Period. The increase of $5.1 million was primarily attributable to increased services revenue and sales of mine safety equipment by the
Matrix Group. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense increased 46.7% to $28.3 million for the 2010 Period, primarily due to increased expenses associated with higher services revenue and safety equipment sales by the Matrix Group, higher coal brokerage

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (&#147;ASU&#148;) 2009-17, <I>Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities</I> (&#147;ASU
2009-17&#148;). ASU 2009-17 codified Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;167, <I>Amendments to FASB Interpretation No.&nbsp;46(R)</I>)<I>, </I>which changed the consolidation guidance applicable to a variable interest entity
(&#147;VIE&#148;). ASU 2009-17 updated the guidance governing the determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and is, therefore, required to consolidate such VIE, by requiring a qualitative analysis rather than a
quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis includes, among other things, consideration of whether the enterprise has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity&#146;s economic performance and has
the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. ASU 2009-17 also requires continuous reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE.
Previously, FASB ASC 810, <I>Consolidation</I>, required reconsideration of whether an enterprise was the primary beneficiary of a VIE only when specific events had occurred. Qualifying special purpose entities, which were previously exempt from the
application of this standard, are now subject to the provisions of ASU 2009-17. In addition, ASU 2009-17 also requires enhanced disclosures about an enterprise&#146;s involvement with a VIE. The provisions of ASU 2009-17 were effective as of the
beginning of interim and annual reporting periods that began after November&nbsp;15, 2009. Based on our evaluation of ASU 2009-17, we deconsolidated Mid-America Carbonates, LLC (&#147;MAC&#148;) upon adoption, effective January&nbsp;1, 2010. For

failure of the vertical hoist conveyor system used in conveying raw coal out of the mine. On July&nbsp;19, 2010, White County Coal&#146;s efforts to repair the vertical hoist conveyor system had progressed sufficiently to allow resumption of limited
production operations. Our operating expenses for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2010 includes $1.2 million for retirement of certain assets related to the failed vertical hoist conveyor system in addition to other repair and clean-up
expenses that were not significant on a consolidated or segment basis. We are conducting a final review of our commercial property (including business interruption) insurance policies, which at the time of the equipment failure provided for
self-retention, various deductibles and 22% co-insurance for the first $50 million in coverage. As the loss on the vertical hoist conveyor system did not exceed our deductible for property damage, we currently believe recovery is unlikely under such
policies. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">While the Pattiki mine was temporarily idled, we expanded coal production at our other coal mines in the region,
including the addition of the seventh and eighth production units at the River View mine, to partially offset the loss of production from the Pattiki mine. Consequently, the temporary idling of the Pattiki mine did not have a material adverse impact
on our results of operations and cash flows. On July&nbsp;19, 2010, the Pattiki mine resumed limited production while White County Coal continues to assess the effectiveness and reliability of the repaired vertical hoist conveyor system until such
time it determines the system can be operated at full capacity. We are now operating six unit shifts at Pattiki and plan to add two more unit shifts during the quarter ending December&nbsp;31, 2010, bringing Pattiki back to full capacity by the end
of the year. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Insurance </I></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

insurance coverages, effective October&nbsp;1, 2010, replaced our prior year 14.7% participation rate with the deductibles mentioned above. We can make no assurances that we will not experience significant insurance claims in the future that could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and ability to purchase property insurance in the future. </FONT></P>

Comer, et al. (the &#147;Plaintiffs&#148;) alleging that approximately 40 oil and coal companies, including us, (the &#147;Defendants&#148;) are liable to the Plaintiffs for tortuously causing damage to Plaintiffs&#146; property in Mississippi. The
Plaintiffs allege that the Defendants&#146; greenhouse gas emissions caused global warming and resulted in the increase in the destructive capacity of Hurricane Katrina. On August&nbsp;30, 2007, the trial court dismissed the Plaintiffs&#146;
complaint. On September&nbsp;17, 2007, Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal of that dismissal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. On October&nbsp;16, 2009, the Fifth Circuit overturned the trial court&#146;s dismissal of the
Plaintiffs&#146; private nuisance, trespass and negligence claims, finding Article III constitutional standing and no political question. The Fifth Circuit remanded these claims to the trial court for further proceedings. By order filed
February&nbsp;26, 2010, the Fifth Circuit granted the Defendants&#146; petition for rehearing en banc, with oral argument scheduled for May&nbsp;24, 2010. On May&nbsp;28, 2010, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed the appeal because the
court did not have a quorum after one of the judges hearing the appeal recused herself. The court ruled that, without a quorum, it could not decide the appeal nor could it reinstate the earlier ruling by a three judge panel that would have reversed
the District Courts decision dismissing the case. On August&nbsp;26, 2010, Plaintiffs petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court seeking a Writ of Mandamus ordering the Fifth Circuit to reinstate the appeal. Defendants&#146; response to the petition is due
November&nbsp;24, 2010. We believe this complaint is without merit and we do not believe that an adverse decision in this litigation matter, if any, based on our status as a defendant, will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
position or results of operations. If, however, tort claims brought in this and other cases against corporate defendants for liability arising from greenhouse gas emissions are successful, demand for our coal could be adversely impacted. </FONT></P>

health care may adversely impact our results of operations. </I></B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On March&nbsp;23, 2010, President Obama signed into law
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Additionally, on March&nbsp;30, 2010, President Obama signed into law a reconciliation measure, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010. The passage of the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (collectively, the &#147;Health Care Act&#148;) will result in comprehensive changes to health care in the U.S. Implementation of this legislation is planned to occur in
phases, with standard plan changes taking effect beginning in 2010, but to a greater extent with the 2011 benefit plan year and extending through 2018. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Health Care Act has both short-term and long-term implications on benefit plan eligibility, coverage requirements, and benefit standards and limitations. In the short term, our health care costs are
expected to increase due to raising the maximum age and easing of eligibility limitations for covered dependents. The Health Care Act also prevents the group health plan from limiting benefit payments for participants who meet or exceed annual or
lifetime dollar limits per covered individual. We do not currently expect raising the maximum age and easing of eligibility limitations for covered dependents to significantly increase our annual health care costs beginning in 2011. In addition, we
currently expect removing the lifetime maximum to have an additional impact on us that we are unable to reasonably estimate at this time. While historically few participants have reached the plan lifetime maximum limit of $1 million, future federal
and state mandates are expected to impact large claims costs and make this a potentially greater risk variable in the future. In the long term, our plan&#146;s health care costs are expected to increase for various reasons due to the Health Care
Act, including the potential impact of an excise tax on &#147;high cost&#148; plans (beginning in 2018), among other standard requirements. We have chosen not to &#147;grandfather&#148; our health care plan as allowed under the Health Care Act.
Maintaining &#147;grandfather&#148; status prevents the plan from making plan benefit modifications that encourage participants to use high value, lower cost medical care options such as on-site medical services, generic preferred medications, and
urgent care centers instead of emergency rooms. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We anticipate that certain government agencies will provide additional
regulations or interpretations concerning the application of the Health Care Act and reporting required thereunder. Until these regulations or interpretations are published, we are unable to reasonably estimate the further impact of such federal
mandate requirements on our future health care costs. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We will continue to evaluate the potential impact of the legislation on
our self-insured long term disability plan, Black Lung liabilities, results of operations and internal controls as governmental agencies issue interpretations regarding the meaning and scope of the Health Care Act. However, we believe it is likely
that our costs will increase as a result of these provisions, which may have an adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Recent health care legislation has generally made it easier for claimants to assert and prosecute Black Lung claims, which could increase our
exposure to Black Lung benefit liabilities. </I></B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The recently enacted Health Care Act includes a Black Lung provision that
creates a rebuttable presumption that a miner with at least 15 years of service, with totally disabling pulmonary or respiratory lung impairment and negative radiographic chest x-ray evidence, would be disabled due to pneumoconiosis and be eligible
for Black Lung benefits. The new Health Care Act also makes it easier for widows of miners to become eligible for benefits, as it amended previous legislation related to coal workers&#146; Black Lung benefits by providing automatic extensions of
awarded lifetime benefits to surviving spouses and providing changes to the legal criteria used to assess and award claims, effective for claims filed or pending after January&nbsp;1, 2005. As a result of this new legislation, the number of
claimants who are awarded benefits and our future payments of Black Lung benefits could increase, which may have an adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows. </FONT></P>

personnel and a proximity detection system designed to improve the safety of continuous mining units used in underground operations. Matrix Design has completed installation of its communication and tracking system at all of our operating
subsidiaries and has either installed or received orders to install this vital safety system at over half of the operating underground coal mines in the U.S. In addition, Matrix Design has installed and is conducting field tests on eleven of its

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our mining operations are subject to extensive and stringent compliance standards established pursuant to the Federal Mine Safety and
Health Act of 1977, as amended by the Federal Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006 (as amended, the &#147;Mine Act&#148;). MSHA monitors and rigorously enforces compliance with these standards, and our mining operations are
inspected frequently. During the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2010, our mines were subject to 1,598 MSHA inspection days, with an average of only 0.19 &#147;significant and substantial&#148;, or &#147;S&amp;S&#148;, citations written per

authorizing MSHA to issue citations and orders pursuant to the legal doctrine of strict liability, or liability without fault. If, in the opinion of an MSHA inspector, a condition that violates the Mine Act or regulations promulgated pursuant to it
exists, then a citation or order will be issued regardless of whether we had any knowledge of, or fault in, the existence of that condition. Many of the Mine Act standards include one or more subjective elements, so that issuance of a citation often
depends on the opinions or experience of the MSHA inspector involved and the frequency of citations will vary from inspector to inspector. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The number of citations issued also is affected by the size of the mine, in that the number of citations issued generally increases with the size of the mine. Our mines typically are larger in scale than

allegations of violations of Mine Act standards seriously, and if we disagree with the assertions of an MSHA inspector, we exercise our right to challenge those findings by &#147;contesting&#148; the citation or order pursuant to the procedures

Organization
ARLP is a
Delaware limited partnership listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the ticker symbol "ARLP." ARLP was formed in May 1999, to acquire, upon completion of ARLP's initial public offering on August 19, 1999, certain coal
production and marketing assets of Alliance Resource Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("ARH"), consisting of substantially all of ARH's operating subsidiaries, but excluding ARH. ARH was previously owned by our current and
former management. In June 2006, our special general partner, SGP, and its parent, ARH, became wholly-owned, directly and indirectly, by Joseph W. Craft III, a director and the President and Chief Executive Officer of our managing general partner.
SGP, a Delaware limited liability company, holds a 0.01% general partner interest in each of ARLP and the Intermediate Partnership. We have a time sharing agreement for the use of aircraft and we lease certain assets, including coal reserves and
certain surface facilities, owned by SGP.
We are managed by our managing general partner, MGP, a Delaware limited liability
company, which holds a 0.99% and a 1.0001% managing general partner interest in ARLP and the Intermediate Partnership, respectively, and a 0.001% managing member interest in Alliance Coal. AHGP is a Delaware limited partnership that was formed to
become the owner and controlling member of MGP. AHGP completed its initial public offering on May 15, 2006. AHGP owns directly and indirectly 100% of the members' interest of MGP, the incentive distribution rights ("IDR") in ARLP
and 15,544,169 common units of ARLP.

Table of Contents
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the ARLP Partnership
and present our financial position as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, results of our operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 and our cash flows for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 and 2009. All of our intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Net income attributable to Alliance Resource Partners, L.P. within our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements will be
described as "Net Income of ARLP."
These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are unaudited.
However, in the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. Results for interim periods are
not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim reporting and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2009.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the ARLP Partnership's condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") of the United States
("U.S.") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
New
Accounting Standards Issued and Adopted
In December 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2009-17,
Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities
("ASU 2009-17"). ASU 2009-17 codified Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 167,
Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)
)
,
which changed the consolidation guidance applicable to a variable interest entity ("VIE"). ASU 2009-17 updated the guidance governing the
determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and is, therefore, required to consolidate such VIE, by requiring a qualitative analysis rather than a quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis includes, among other
things, consideration of whether the enterprise has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of
the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. ASU 2009-17 also requires continuous reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Previously, FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810,
Consolidation
, required reconsideration of whether an enterprise was the primary beneficiary of a VIE only when specific events had occurred. Qualifying special purpose entities, which were previously exempt from the application of this
standard, are now subject to the provisions of ASU 2009-17. In addition, ASU 2009-17 also requires enhanced disclosures about an enterprise's involvement with a VIE. The provisions of ASU 2009-17 were effective as of the beginning of interim
and annual reporting periods that began after November 15, 2009. Based on our evaluation of ASU 2009-17, we deconsolidated Mid-America Carbonates, LLC ("MAC") upon adoption, effective January 1, 2010 (Note 13). The
deconsolidation of MAC did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
5
Table of Contents
In January 2010, the
FASB issued ASU 2010-06,
Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements
("ASU 2010-06"). ASU 2010-06 amended guidance on certain aspects of FASB ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,
to add new requirements
for disclosures of transfers into and out of Level 1 and 2 measurements and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements, all on a gross basis. ASU 2010-06 also clarifies existing fair
value disclosures regarding the level of disaggregation and the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The provisions of ASU 2010-06 were effective for the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2009, except
for the requirement to provide Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not have an impact on
our condensed consolidated financial statements.
3.
CONTINGENCIES
Various
lawsuits, claims and regulatory proceedings incidental to our business are pending against the ARLP Partnership. We record an accrual for a potential loss related to these matters when, in management's opinion, such loss is probable and
reasonably estimable. Based on known facts and circumstances, we believe the ultimate outcome of these outstanding lawsuits, claims and regulatory proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations
or liquidity. However, if the results of these matters were different from management's current opinion and in amounts greater than our accruals, then they could have a material adverse effect.
The matters referenced in the previous paragraph include, but are not limited to, the
George W. Rector v. White County Coal, LLC
lawsuit, which is a royalty dispute involving certain coal leases that had been previously terminated. Plaintiffs have alleged damages of $33 million or more and have also asserted a claim for punitive damages. A bench trial of this case was
concluded in November 2009 and closing arguments were heard on February 10, 2010, but we have not received written decision from the court. We believe plaintiffs' claims are without merit, have accrued no loss and are vigorously defending
the litigation.
4.
PATTIKI VERTICAL HOIST CONVEYOR SYSTEM FAILURE
On May 13, 2010, White County Coal, LLC's ("White County Coal") Pattiki mine was temporarily idled following the failure of the vertical hoist conveyor system used in conveying raw
coal out of the mine. On July 19, 2010, White County Coal's efforts to repair the vertical hoist conveyor system had progressed sufficiently to allow resumption of limited production operations. Our operating expenses for the nine months
ended September 30, 2010 includes $1.2 million for retirement of certain assets related to the failed vertical hoist conveyor system in addition to other repair and clean-up expenses that were not significant on a consolidated or segment basis.
We are conducting a final review of our commercial property (including business interruption) insurance policies, which at the time of the equipment failure provided for self-retention, various deductibles and 22% co-insurance for the first $50
million in coverage. As the loss on the vertical hoist conveyor system did not exceed our deductible for property damage, we currently believe recovery is unlikely under such policies.
6
Table of Contents
While the Pattiki mine
was temporarily idled, we expanded coal production at our other coal mines in the region, including the addition of the seventh and eighth production units at the River View Coal, LLC's ("River View") mine, to partially offset the
loss of production from the Pattiki mine. Consequently, the temporary idling of the Pattiki mine did not have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows. On July 19, 2010, the Pattiki mine resumed limited production
while White County Coal continues to assess the effectiveness and reliability of the repaired vertical hoist conveyor system until such time it determines the system can be operated at full capacity. We are now operating six unit shifts at Pattiki
and plan to add two more unit shifts during the quarter ending December 31, 2010, bringing Pattiki back to full capacity by the end of the year.
5.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
We apply the provisions of FASB ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,
which, among other things, defines fair value,
requires enhanced disclosures about assets and liabilities carried at fair value and establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework based upon the quality of inputs used to measure fair value.
Valuation techniques are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent
sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our own market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
•
Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
•
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not
active; and model derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
•
Level 3 – Instruments whose significant value drivers are unobservable.
The carrying amounts for accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those
instruments. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the estimated fair value of our fixed rate term debt, including current maturities, was approximately $482.1 million and $460.7 million, respectively, based on interest rates that
we believe are currently available to us for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities (Note 6).

7
Table of Contents
indirect subsidiaries of our Intermediate Partnership. The ARLP Debt Arrangements contain various covenants affecting our Intermediate Partnership and its subsidiaries restricting, among other
things, the amount of distributions by our Intermediate Partnership, the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, the sale of assets, the making of investments, the entry into mergers and consolidations and the entry into transactions with
affiliates, in each case subject to various exceptions. The ARLP Debt Arrangements also require the Intermediate Partnership to remain in control of a certain amount of mineable coal reserves relative to its annual production. In addition, the ARLP
Debt Arrangements require our Intermediate Partnership to maintain the following: (i) debt to cash flow ratio of not more than 3.0 to 1.0, (ii) cash flow to interest expense ratio of not less than 4.0 to 1.0, in each case, during the four
most recently ended fiscal quarters and (iii) maximum annual capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, of $471.8 million for 2010. The debt to cash flow ratio and cash flow to interest expense ratio were 0.77 to 1.0 and 17.5 to 1.0,
respectively, for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2010. Actual capital expenditures were $233.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. We were in compliance with the covenants of the ARLP Debt Arrangements as
of September 30, 2010.
Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc. ("Lehman"), a subsidiary of Lehman Brothers Holding,
Inc., held a 5%, or $7.5 million, commitment in our $150 million ARLP Credit Facility. On February 11, 2010, we gave our lenders a notice of borrowing under the ARLP Credit Facility and, in response to that notice, Lehman notified us that it
would not fund its proportionate share of the borrowing. As a result, as of February 11, 2010, Lehman became a defaulting lender and on October 6, 2010, was removed as a commitment holder under the ARLP Credit Facility. Consequently,
availability for borrowing under the ARLP Credit Facility was reduced by $7.5 million.
At September 30, 2010, we had
$11.6 million of letters of credit outstanding with $130.9 million available for borrowing under the ARLP Credit Facility. We had no borrowings outstanding under the ARLP Credit Facility as of September 30, 2010. We incur an annual commitment
fee of 0.375% on the undrawn portion of the ARLP Credit Facility.
7.
NET INCOME OF ARLP PER LIMITED PARTNER UNIT
We apply the provisions of FASB ASC 260,
Earnings Per Share
("FASB ASC 260"). As required by FASB ASC 260, we apply the two-class method in calculating basic and diluted earnings per unit
("EPU"). Net Income of ARLP is allocated to the general partners and limited partners in accordance with their respective partnership percentages, after giving effect to any special income or expense allocations, including incentive
distributions to our managing general partner, the holder of the IDR pursuant to our partnership agreement, which are declared and paid following the end of each quarter. Under the quarterly IDR provisions of our partnership agreement, our managing
general partner is entitled to receive 15% of the amount we distribute in excess of $0.275 per unit, 25% of the amount we distribute in excess of $0.3125 per unit, and 50% of the amount we distribute in excess of $0.375 per unit. Our partnership
agreement contractually limits our distributions to available cash and therefore, undistributed earnings of the ARLP Partnership are not allocated to the IDR holder. In addition, our outstanding unvested awards under our Long-Term Incentive Plan
("LTIP") include rights to nonforfeitable distributions and are therefore considered participating securities. As such, we allocate undistributed and distributed earnings to the outstanding unvested awards in our calculation of EPU.

Pneumoconiosis
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which was signed into law by President Obama in March 2010, amended previous legislation
related to coal workers' Black Lung providing automatic extension of awarded lifetime benefits to surviving spouses and providing changes to the legal criteria used to assess and award claims. We are presently unable to estimate the impact of
this legislation on our obligations and our future service period charges related to future claims due to uncertainty about the number of claims that will be filed, how the new award criteria will impact these claim populations and the effect of
regulations relating to the retroactive application of certain criteria. We expect to complete an evaluation of the obligation by the end of fiscal year 2010 assuming regulations are issued by that time. For more information, please read "Part
I. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Health Care Reform" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

COMPENSATION PLANS
We
maintain the LTIP for certain employees and officers of our managing general partner and its affiliates who perform services for us. The LTIP awards are grants of non-vested notional units, which upon satisfaction of vesting requirements entitle the
LTIP participant to receive ARLP common units. On January 26, 2010, the compensation committee of the board of directors ("Compensation Committee") determined that the vesting requirements for the 2007 grants of 88,975 units (which
are net of 4,500 forfeitures) had been satisfied as of January 1, 2010. As a result of this vesting, on February 12, 2010, we issued 55,826 unrestricted common units to LTIP participants. The remaining units were settled in cash to satisfy
the individual tax withholding obligations for the LTIP participants. On February 1, 2010, the Compensation Committee authorized additional grants up to 143,145 restricted units, of which 138,130 were granted during the nine months ended
September 30, 2010, all of which will vest on January 1, 2013 subject to satisfaction of certain financial tests. The fair value of these 2010 grants is equal to the intrinsic value at the date of grant, which was $39.59 per unit on a
weighted average basis. LTIP expense was $1.0 million, $0.9 million, $2.9 million and $2.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. On October 23, 2009, our unitholders approved the third
amendment ("Third Amendment") to the LTIP. The Third Amendment was previously authorized by the Board of Directors of our managing general partner, subject to unitholder approval. The Third Amendment increased the number of units available
for issuance under the LTIP from 1.2 million to 3.6 million, providing 2.4 million units for satisfaction of future awards. After consideration of the January 1, 2010 vesting and subsequent issuance of 55,826 common units,
approximately 2.3 million units remain available for issuance in the future, assuming all grants issued in 2008, 2009 and 2010 currently outstanding are settled with common units and no future forfeitures occur.
As of September 30, 2010, there was $5.9 million in total unrecognized compensation expense related to the non-vested LTIP grants
that are expected to vest. That expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years. As of September 30, 2010, the intrinsic value of the non-vested LTIP grants was $22.1 million. As of September 30, 2010, the
total obligation associated with the LTIP was $6.5 million and is included in the partners' capital-limited partners line item in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
As provided under the distribution equivalent rights provisions of the LTIP, all non-vested grants include contingent rights to receive
quarterly cash distributions in an amount equal to the cash distributions we make to unitholders during the vesting period.

We previously disclosed in our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 that we
expected to contribute $9.8 million to the Pension Plan in 2010 for the 2009 plan year. During 2010, we received a final funding report for the 2009 plan year, which included updated assumptions on expected retirement patterns, interest rate
analysis and asset value method. The finalization of these assumptions significantly decreased our required funding in 2010 for the 2009 plan year. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we made contribution payments of $1.1 million
and $1.4 million for the 2009 and 2010 plan years, respectively. No further contribution payments are required for the 2009 plan year.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure ) is defined as Net Income of ARLP before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and
amortization, net income attributable to noncontrolling interest and general and administrative expenses. Management therefore is able to focus solely on the evaluation of segment operating profitability as it relates to our revenues and operating
expenses, which are primarily controlled by our segments. Consolidated Segment Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to net income and Net Income of ARLP, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, as follows (in thousands):

NONCONTROLLING INTEREST
We apply the provisions of FASB ASC 810,
Consolidation
, which were amended on January 1, 2010. Based on our evaluation of
these amendments, we deconsolidated MAC effective January 1, 2010 (Note 2).
White County Coal and Alexander J. House
("House") entered into a limited liability company agreement in 2006 to form MAC, which manufactures and sells rock dust. Consistent with prior years, we have a 50% ownership interest in MAC. Previously, we consolidated MAC's
financial results in accordance with FASB ASC 810. However, based on the provisions of ASU 2009-17, we concluded that we are no longer the primary beneficiary of MAC and thus deconsolidated MAC as House has the power to direct the activities that
most significantly impact the entity's economic performance.
We adopted the amendments to FASB ASC 810 on
January 1, 2010. As a result, we reclassified $1.1 million from noncontrolling interest in partners' capital to other long-term assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We did not retrospectively apply the provisions of ASU
2009-17 as allowed by the amendments. Our equity investment in MAC is $1.3 million at September 30, 2010.
MAC has a
$1.75 million Revolving Credit Agreement ("Revolver") with ARLP. On November 17, 2009, MAC entered into Amendment No. 2, effective June 30, 2009, which increased the Revolver to $1.75 million from $1.5 million. The Revolver
is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2010. At September 30, 2010, MAC owed ARLP $1.7 million under the Revolver, which is classified as Due from Affiliates on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On
October 27, 2010, we declared a quarterly distribution for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, of $0.83 per unit, on all common units outstanding, totaling approximately $48.4 million (which includes our managing general partner's
incentive distributions), payable on November 12, 2010 to all unitholders of record as of November 5, 2010.
Effective October 1, 2010, we completed our annual property and casualty insurance renewal for various insurance coverages. The
aggregate maximum limit in the commercial property program is $75.0 million per occurrence excluding a $1.5 million deductible for property damage, a 60-day waiting period for business interruption and a $10.0 million overall aggregate deductible.

Summary
We are a
diversified producer and marketer of coal primarily to major United States ("U.S.") utilities and industrial users. We began mining operations in 1971 and, since then, have grown through acquisitions and internal development to become what
we believe to be the fifth largest coal producer in the eastern U.S. We operate nine mining complexes in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland and West Virginia. We are constructing a new mining complex in West Virginia. We also operate a coal
loading terminal on the Ohio River at Mt. Vernon, Indiana. As is customary in the coal industry, we have entered into long-term coal supply agreements with many of our customers.
We have four reportable segments: Illinois Basin, Central Appalachia, Northern Appalachia and Other and Corporate. The first three
segments correspond to the three major coal producing regions in the eastern U.S. Coal quality, coal seam height, mining and transportation methods and regulatory issues are similar within each of these three segments.

Health Care Reform
On
March 23, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Additionally, on March 30, 2010, President Obama signed into law a reconciliation measure, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of
2010. The passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (collectively, the "Health Care Act") will result in comprehensive changes to health care in the U.S. Implementation
of this legislation is planned to occur in phases, with standard plan changes taking effect beginning in 2010, but to a greater extent with the 2011 benefit plan year and extending through 2018.
The Health Care Act has both short-term and long-term implications on benefit plan eligibility, coverage requirements, and benefit
standards and limitations. In the short term, our health care costs are expected to increase due to raising the maximum age and easing of eligibility limitations for covered dependents. The Health Care Act also prevents the group health plan from
limiting benefit payments for participants who meet or exceed annual or lifetime dollar limits per covered individual. We do not currently expect raising the maximum age and easing of eligibility limitations for covered dependents to significantly
increase our annual health care costs beginning in 2011. In addition, we currently expect removing the lifetime maximum to have an additional impact on us that we are unable to reasonably estimate at this time. While historically few participants
have reached the plan lifetime maximum limit of $1 million, future federal and state mandates are expected to impact large claims costs and make this a potentially greater risk variable in the future. In the long term, our plan's health care
costs are expected to increase for various reasons due to the Health Care Act, including the potential impact of an excise tax on "high cost" plans (beginning in 2018), among other standard requirements. We have chosen not to
"grandfather" our health care plan as allowed under the Health Care Act. Maintaining "grandfather" status prevents the plan from making plan benefit modifications that encourage participants to use high value, lower cost medical
care options such as on-site medical services, generic preferred medications, and urgent care centers instead of emergency rooms.
We anticipate that certain government agencies will provide additional regulations or interpretations concerning the application of the Health Care Act and reporting required thereunder. Until these
regulations or interpretations are published, we are unable to reasonably estimate the further impact of such federal mandate requirements on our future health care costs.
We will continue to evaluate the potential impact of the legislation on our self-insured long term disability plan, pneumoconiosis ("Black Lung") liabilities, results of operations and internal
controls as governmental agencies issue interpretations regarding the meaning and scope of the Health Care Act. However, we believe it is likely that our costs will increase as a result of these provisions, which may have an adverse impact on our
results of operations and cash flows.

The Dodd –
Frank Act
On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd – Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act ("Dodd – Frank Act"). The Dodd Frank Act gives regulators new resolution authority, creates a new council to monitor and address systemic risk, changes the mandate of the Federal Reserve, imposes significant new
regulations on banking organizations, makes significant changes to the rules that affect the process of financing business enterprises and creates a new governmental authority, the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, to regulate retail
financial products and services, among many other provisions.
The additional regulations imposed by the Dodd – Frank Act
on financial institutions may result in increased costs associated with future borrowings and decreased availability of credit. However, we are presently unable to determine the significance of any potential increase in our borrowing costs or
potential liquidity constraints, if any. The Dodd – Frank Act also requires public mining companies to report certain safety information in each periodic report filed with the SEC and to file current reports on Form 8-K for certain safety

September 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2009
We reported record Net Income of ARLP of
$73.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 ("2010 Quarter") compared to $36.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 ("2009 Quarter"). This increase of $36.8 million was principally due
to record tons sold and improved pricing resulting in a record quarterly average coal sales price of $51.68 per ton sold, as compared to $45.58 per ton sold for the 2009 Quarter. We had record tons sold of 7.7 million tons and higher tons
produced of 7.1 million tons in the 2010 Quarter, compared to 6.2 million tons sold and 6.3 million tons produced in the 2009 Quarter. This increase in produced tons primarily reflects increased production from our new River View
mine. Higher operating expenses during the 2010 Quarter resulted primarily from increased sales and production volumes, which particularly impacted materials and supplies expenses, sales-related expenses and labor and labor-related expenses.
Increased operating expenses also reflect the new incidental production at our Tunnel Ridge mine development project and higher Northern Appalachia third-party contract mining costs.

Coal sales
.
Coal sales for the 2010 Quarter increased 40.8% to $396.7 million from $281.6 million for the 2009 Quarter. The increase of $115.1 million in coal sales reflected the benefit of record tons sold (contributing $68.2 million in coal sales) and record
average coal sales prices (contributing $46.9 million in additional coal sales). Average coal sales prices in the 2010 Quarter increased $6.10 per ton sold to $51.68 per ton in the 2010 Quarter compared to $45.58 per ton in the 2009 Quarter
primarily as a result of improved contract pricing across all regions.
Operating expenses
. Operating expenses
increased 29.1% to $264.4 million for the 2010 Quarter from $204.8 million for the 2009 Quarter primarily due to record coal sales and increased production volumes. Increased River View production and Tunnel Ridge development combined to increase
certain operating expenses $32.5 million during the 2010 Quarter over the 2009 Quarter and are generally
17
Table of Contents
included in the variances discussed further below. Operating expenses were impacted by various other factors, the most significant of which are also discussed below:
•
Labor and benefit expenses per ton produced, excluding workers' compensation, increased 0.3% to $11.07 per ton in the 2010 Quarter from $11.04 per
ton in the 2009 Quarter. This increase of $0.03 per ton was primarily due to increased mine development labor at our Tunnel Ridge mine and increased regulatory oversight, particularly at our Central Appalachian mines, partially offset by lower labor
cost per ton resulting from production at our new River View mine;
•
Workers' compensation expenses per ton produced decreased to $1.31 per ton in the 2010 Quarter from $1.64 per ton in the 2009 Quarter. The
decrease of $0.33 per ton produced resulted primarily from a non-cash charge during the 2009 Quarter due to a discount rate change, which increased the accrued liabilities for the present value of estimated future claim payments, partially offset by
unfavorable reserve adjustments for new claims incurred during the 2010 Quarter;
•
Material and supplies expenses per ton produced increased 15.4% to $11.07 per ton in the 2010 Quarter from $9.59 per ton in the 2009 Quarter. The
increase of $1.48 per ton produced resulted from an increase in cost for certain products and services, primarily outside services expenses (increase of $0.39 per ton), roof support (increase of $0.37 per ton), power and fuel used in the mining
process (increase of $0.23 per ton), preparation plant cost (increase of $0.21 per ton), ventilation (increase of $0.17 per ton) and rock dust (increase of $0.11 per ton);
•
Maintenance expenses per ton produced increased 5.6% to $3.75 per ton in the 2010 Quarter from $3.55 per ton in the 2009 Quarter. The increase of $0.20
per ton produced resulted primarily from higher maintenance costs for our mine development project at Tunnel Ridge and increased maintenance costs at our Warrior mine, primarily related to continuous miners, partially offset by the benefit of newer
equipment and increased production at our new River View mine;
•
Mine administration expenses increased $4.2 million for the 2010 Quarter compared to the 2009 Quarter, primarily due to higher costs resulting from
increased Matrix Design product sales and higher mine administration expense at River View and our mine development project at Tunnel Ridge. In addition, increased estimated regulatory costs were incurred during the 2010 Quarter;
•
Contract mining expenses increased $3.4 million for the 2010 Quarter compared to the 2009 Quarter. The increase primarily reflects the restart of a
third-party mining operation in our Northern Appalachian region during February 2010 that was previously idled in May 2009 and increased production from our existing contract mining operations in Northern Appalachia, both in response to increased
demand in the export coal market;
•
Production taxes and royalties expenses (which were incurred as a percentage of coal sales prices and volumes) increased $0.62 per produced ton sold in
the 2010 Quarter compared to the 2009 Quarter primarily as a result of increased average coal sales prices across all regions; and
•
Operating expenses increased due to significant reduction in coal inventory for the 2010 Quarter reflecting higher coal sales, whereas the 2009 Quarter
experienced an increase in coal inventory. The significant reduction in coal inventory was partially offset by the benefit of
18
Table of Contents
lower cost per ton beginning coal inventory for the 2010 Quarter, particularly at the Illinois Basin and Central Appalachian regions.
General and administrative
. General and administrative expenses for the 2010 Quarter increased to $14.3 million compared to $10.0
million in the 2009 Quarter. The increase of $4.3 million was primarily due to increases in retirement plan expense, incentive compensation expense and contributions to certain industry and advocacy groups.
Other sales and operating revenues
. Other sales and operating revenues are principally comprised of Mt. Vernon
transloading revenues, products and services provided by MAC (in the 2009 Quarter only), Matrix Design and other outside services and administrative services revenue from affiliates. Other sales and operating revenues increased to $6.7 million for
the 2010 Quarter from $6.4 million for the 2009 Quarter. The increase of $0.3 million was primarily attributable to increased Matrix Design product sales, partially offset by decreased rock dust revenues reflecting the deconsolidation of MAC. For
more information about MAC, please read "Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited) – Note 13. Noncontrolling Interest" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Outside coal purchases
. Outside coal purchases increased to $5.7 million for the 2010 Quarter compared to $0.5 million in the 2009
Quarter. The increase of $5.2 million was primarily attributable to increased outside coal purchases related to our Northern Appalachian region due to increased demand in the export coal markets as well as increased coal brokerage activity.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization
. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense increased to $37.6 million
for the 2010 Quarter from $28.1 million for the 2009 Quarter. The increase of $9.5 million was attributable to additional depreciation expense associated with our River View mine and our Tunnel Ridge development project in addition to continuing
capital expenditures related to various infrastructure improvements and efficiency projects.
Interest expense
.
Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, decreased to $7.6 million for the 2010 Quarter from $7.7 million for the 2009 Quarter. The decrease of $0.1 million was principally attributable to reduced interest expense resulting from our August
2010 principal repayment of $18.0 million on our original senior notes issued in 1999, partially offset by increased interest expense for borrowings on our $150.0 million revolving credit facility ("ARLP Credit Facility") during the 2010
Quarter, each of which are discussed in more detail below under "–Debt Obligations."
Transportation
revenues and expenses
. Transportation revenues and expenses were $7.1 million and $11.7 million for the 2010 and 2009 Quarters, respectively. The decrease of $4.6 million was primarily attributable to reduced tonnage for which we arrange
transportation from our Warrior, Hopkins and Pattiki mines. The cost of transportation services are passed through to our customers. Consequently, we do not realize any gain or loss on transportation revenues.
Income tax expense
. Income tax expense was $1.0 million for the 2010 Quarter compared to $0.6 million for the 2009 Quarter. Income
taxes are primarily due to the operations of Matrix Design, which is owned by our subsidiary, Alliance Service, Inc. Increased taxes reflect higher net income in the 2010 Quarter from our Matrix Design operation.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest
.
The noncontrolling interest for the 2009 Quarter represents a 50%
third-party interest in MAC. The third-party's portion of MAC's net income was $0.1 million for the 2009 Quarter
.
Effective January 1, 2010, we deconsolidated MAC based on amendments to the provisions of Financial Accounting
Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810,

Segment Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) is defined as Net Income of ARLP before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and
amortization, net income attributable to noncontrolling interest and general and administrative expenses. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is a key component of consolidated EBITDA, which is used as a supplemental financial measure by management and by
external users of our financial statements such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others, to assess:
•
the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;
•
the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs and support our indebtedness;
•
our operating performance and return on investment as compared to those of other companies in the coal energy sector, without regard to financing or
capital structures; and
•
the viability of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA is also used as a supplemental financial measure by our management for reasons similar to those
stated in the above explanation of EBITDA. In addition, the exclusion of corporate general and administrative expenses from Segment Adjusted EBITDA allows management to focus solely on the evaluation of segment operating profitability as it relates
to our revenues and operating expenses, which are primarily controlled by our segments.
The following is a reconciliation of
consolidated Segment Adjusted EBITDA to net income and Net Income of ARLP, the most comparable GAAP financial measures (in thousands):

Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense (a non-GAAP financial measure) includes operating expenses, outside coal purchases and other income. Transportation expenses are
excluded as these expenses are passed through to our customers and, consequently, we do not realize any gain or loss on transportation revenues. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense is used as a supplemental financial measure by our management to assess
the operating performance of our segments. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense is a key component of EBITDA in addition to coal sales and other sales and operating revenues. The exclusion of corporate general and administrative expenses from Segment
Adjusted EBITDA Expense allows management to focus solely on the evaluation of segment operating performance as it primarily relates to our operating expenses. Outside coal purchases are included in Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense because tons sold
and coal sales include sales from outside coal purchases.

Illinois Basin – Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased 63.0% to $114.2 million in the 2010 Quarter from
$70.1 million in the 2009 Quarter. The increase of $44.1 million was primarily attributable to a 27.4% increase in tons sold to 6.3 million tons in the 2010 Quarter, as well as strong contract pricing reflecting a higher average coal sales
price of $47.67 per ton sold during the 2010 Quarter compared to $42.11 per ton sold for the 2009 Quarter. Coal sales increased 44.2% to $299.2 million in the 2010 Quarter compared to $207.4 million in the 2009 Quarter. The increase of $91.8 million
primarily reflects increased sales from our new River View mine (which commenced operations in August 2009 and continued to expand production during 2010). Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense for the 2010 Quarter increased 34.6% to $185.2 million
from $137.6 million in the 2009 Quarter and increased $1.58 per ton sold to $29.51 from $27.93 per ton sold, primarily as a result of certain cost increases described above under consolidated operating expenses, as well as ongoing production
restrictions related to the failure of the vertical hoist system at the Pattiki mine and a two week production disruption at our Gibson mine due to a roof fall on the main belt line. For more information on our Pattiki mine, please read "Part
I. Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited) – Note 4. Pattiki Vertical Hoist Conveyor System Failure" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Central Appalachia – Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased 27.5% to $8.3 million for the 2010 Quarter compared to $6.5 million in the 2009 Quarter. The increase of $1.8 million was primarily attributable
to strong contract pricing reflecting a higher average coal sales price of $78.18 per ton sold during the 2010 Quarter compared to $68.43 per ton sold for the 2009 Quarter, partially offset by lower sales volumes as a result of reduced production
due to the impact of heightened regulatory oversight, lower clean coal recovery due to mining conditions and the continued impact of idling one mining unit at Pontiki in July 2009. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense per ton sold during the 2010 Quarter
increased to $62.52 compared to $57.64 per ton sold in the 2009 Quarter, an increase of $4.88 per ton sold reflecting certain cost increases described above under consolidated operating expenses, as well as lower production volumes described above.
Although Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense per ton sold increased in the 2010 Quarter, Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense for the 2010 Quarter decreased 4.8% to $33.2 million from $34.8 million in the 2009 Quarter primarily as a result of lower coal
sales volumes offset in part by higher expenses per ton as described above.
Northern Appalachia – Segment Adjusted
EBITDA increased to $8.8 million for the 2010 Quarter as compared to $3.2 million in the 2009 Quarter. This increase of $5.6 million was primarily attributable to strong contract pricing reflecting a higher average sales price of $64.63 per ton sold
for the 2010 Quarter compared to $50.58 per ton sold for the 2009 Quarter, as well as higher tons sold which increased 28.8% to 0.8 million tons in the 2010 Quarter, both resulting from improved demand in the export coal markets, partially
offset by increased coal sales of lower priced incidental production from our Tunnel Ridge development project. Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense for the 2010 Quarter
22
Table of Contents
increased 51.0% to $46.3 million from $30.7 million in the 2009 Quarter and increased $8.07 per ton sold to $55.25 from $47.18 per ton sold, primarily as a result of higher coals sales volumes,
higher costs associated with producing metallurgical quality coal, lower coal recoveries due to adverse geologic conditions, as well as the other cost increases described above under consolidated operating expenses, including non-capitalized costs
incurred related to our Tunnel Ridge mine development project, increased coal purchases, the resumption in February 2010 of a third-party mining operation that had been idled in May 2009 and increased production from our other third-party mining
operation. Increased outside coal purchases and third-party mining production were both in response to improved demand in the export market, as noted above.
Other and Corporate – Segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $2.4 million in the 2010 Quarter from $3.2 million in the 2009 Quarter. The decrease of $0.8 million was primarily attributable to the
impact of the deconsolidation of MAC effective January 1, 2010, lower EBITDA associated with Matrix Group safety equipment sales to our other subsidiaries (which are eliminated upon consolidation) and lower Mt. Vernon outside transloading
revenues, partially offset by higher coal brokerage sales and higher EBITDA resulting from increased third-party safety equipment sales and services revenue at Matrix Design. Other sales and operating revenues increased 13.9% to $10.8 million for
the 2010 Quarter compared to $9.5 million for the 2009 Quarter. The increase of $1.3 million was primarily attributable to increased services revenue and sales of mine safety equipment by the Matrix Group. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense increased
64.0% to $10.3 million for the 2010 Quarter, primarily due to increased expenses associated with higher services revenue and safety equipment sales by the Matrix Group and higher coal brokerage expenses.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009
We reported record Net Income of ARLP of $233.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 ("2010 Period")
compared to $150.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 ("2009 Period"). This increase of $83.3 million was principally due to increased tons sold and improved contract pricing resulting in an average coal sales price
of $50.86 per ton sold, as compared to $46.76 per ton sold for the 2009 Period. We had tons sold of 22.5 million and tons produced of 21.6 million for the 2010 Period compared to 18.9 million tons sold and 19.5 million tons
produced for the 2009 Period. This increase in produced tons primarily reflects increased production from our new River View mine and resulted in higher operating expenses during the 2010 Period, particularly impacting materials and supplies
expenses, sales-related expenses and labor and labor-related expenses. Expenses were further impacted by increased depreciation, depletion and amortization.

average coal sales prices (contributing $92.5 million in additional coal sales). Average coal sales prices increased $4.10 per ton sold to $50.86 per ton in the 2010 Period as compared to the 2009 Period, primarily as a result of improved contract
pricing across all regions.

Operating
expenses
. Operating expenses increased 23.9% to $750.4 million for the 2010 Period from $605.7 million for the 2009 Period primarily due to record coal sales and production volumes. Increased River View production and Tunnel Ridge development
combined to increase certain operating expenses $87.0 million during the 2010 Period over the 2009 Period and are generally included in the variances discussed further below. In addition to the impact of record volumes, operating expenses were
impacted by various other factors, the most significant of which are also discussed below:
•
Labor and benefit expenses per ton produced, excluding workers' compensation, decreased to $10.78 per ton in the 2010 Period from $10.90 per ton
in the 2009 Period. The decrease of $0.12 per ton was primarily attributable to lower labor cost per ton resulting from production at our new River View mine and a decrease in the cost of training new employees in the Illinois Basin, partially
offset by increased mine development labor at our Tunnel Ridge mine, heightened regulatory oversight, particularly at our Central Appalachian mines, and production disruptions at our Dotiki, Gibson and Pattiki mines during the 2010 Period;
•
Workers' compensation expenses per ton produced decreased to $1.10 per ton in the 2010 Period from $1.31 per ton in the 2009 Period. The decrease
of $0.21 per ton produced resulted primarily from non-cash charges during the 2009 Period due to discount rate changes, which increased the accrued liabilities for the present value of estimated future claim payments, partially offset by unfavorable
reserve adjustments for new claims incurred during the 2010 Period;
•
Material and supplies expenses per ton produced increased 9.0% to $10.32 per ton in the 2010 Period from $9.47 per ton in the 2009 Period. The increase
of $0.85 per ton produced resulted from increased costs for certain products and services, primarily outside services expenses (increase of $0.28 per ton), roof support (increase of $0.25 per ton), power and fuel used in the mining process (increase
of $0.18 per ton) and rock dust (increase of $0.09 per ton);
•
Maintenance expenses per ton produced decreased 2.7% to $3.56 per ton in the 2010 Period from $3.66 per ton in the 2009 Period. The decrease of $0.10
per ton produced resulted primarily from the benefit of newer equipment and increased production at our new River View mining complex, partially offset by adverse geologic conditions at our Mettiki mine and higher maintenance costs for our mine
development project at Tunnel Ridge;
•
Mine administration expenses increased $7.8 million for the 2010 Period compared to the 2009 Period, primarily due to higher costs resulting from
increased third-party product sales by Matrix Design and increased estimated regulatory costs;
•
Contract mining expenses increased $3.0 million for the 2010 Period compared to the 2009 Period. The increase primarily reflects the restart of a
third-party mining operation in our Northern Appalachian region during February 2010 that was previously idled in May 2009 (due to weak demand in the export and spot coal markets) and increased production from other existing contract mining
operations in Northern Appalachia, both in response to increased demand in the export coal market;
•
Production taxes and royalties expenses (which were incurred as a percentage of coal sales prices and volumes) increased $0.41 per produced ton sold in
the 2010 Period compared to the 2009 Period primarily as a result of increased average coal sales prices across all regions;
24
Table of Contents
•
Operating expenses per ton also increased in the 2010 Period due to 1.3 million tons sold from higher cost beginning of the year coal inventory
compared to 261,000 tons sold from beginning coal inventory in the 2009 Period; and
•
Operating expenses for the 2010 Period included $1.2 million for the retirement of certain assets resulting from the failure of the vertical hoist
conveyor system at our Pattiki mine. For more information, please read "Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited) – Note 4. Pattiki Vertical Hoist Conveyor System Failure" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
General and administrative
. General and administrative expenses for the 2010 Period increased to
$36.6 million compared to $29.0 million in the 2009 Period. The increase of $7.6 million was primarily due to increased, incentive compensation expenses and retirement plan expense.
Other sales and operating revenues
. Other sales and operating revenues are principally comprised of Mt. Vernon
transloading revenues, products and services provided by MAC (in the 2009 Period only), Matrix Design and other outside services and administrative services revenue from affiliates. Other sales and operating revenues increased to $19.1 million for
the 2010 Period from $16.0 million for the 2009 Period. The increase of $3.1 million was primarily attributable to increased Matrix Design product sales, partially offset by lower transloading revenues and decreased rock dust revenues reflecting the
deconsolidation of MAC. For more information about MAC, please read "Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited) – Note 13. Noncontrolling Interest" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Outside coal purchases
. Outside coal purchases increased to $12.1 million for the 2010 Period from $5.7 million in the 2009
Period. The increase of $6.4 million was primarily attributable to an increase in outside coal purchases related to our Northern Appalachian region in response to improved demand in export coal markets as well as increased coal brokerage activity,
partially offset by decreased outside coal purchases in the Central Appalachian region due to the lack of attractive sales opportunities in the coal spot markets that were available in the first quarter of 2009.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization
. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense increased to $109.6 million for the
2010 Period from $83.8 million for the 2009 Period. The increase of $25.8 million was primarily attributable to additional depreciation expense associated with our River View mine in addition to continuing capital expenditures related to
infrastructure improvements and efficiency projects.
Interest expense
. Interest expense, net of capitalized interest,
decreased to $22.7 million for the 2010 Period from $23.5 million for the 2009 Period. The decrease of $0.8 million was principally attributable to reduced interest expense resulting from annual principal repayments made during August 2010 and 2009
of $18.0 million on our original senior notes issued in 1999, partially offset by increased interest expense for borrowings on the ARLP Credit Facility during the 2010 Period, each of which are discussed in more detail below under "–Debt
Obligations."
Interest income.
Interest income decreased to $0.1 million for the 2010 Period from $1.0 million
for the 2009 Period. The decrease of $0.9 million resulted from decreased interest income earned on short-term investments purchased with proceeds from the 2008 financing activities in the 2009 Period, which were substantially liquidated throughout
2009.
Transportation revenues and expenses
. Transportation revenues and expenses each decreased to $25.6 million for
the 2010 Period compared to $35.3 million for the 2009 Period. The decrease of $9.7 million was primarily attributable to reduced tonnage in the 2010 Period for which we arranged the
25
Table of Contents
transportation compared to the 2009 Period, as well as a decrease in average transportation rates of $0.27 per ton in the 2010 Period compared to the 2009 Period reflecting in part lower fuel
costs. The cost of transportation services are passed through to our customers. Consequently, we do not realize any gain or loss on transportation revenues.
Income tax expense
. Income tax expense increased to $1.6 million for the 2010 Period compared to $0.8 million for the 2009 Period. The increase of $0.8 million was primarily due to differences in
the forecasted annual operating income for 2010 as compared to 2009 for Matrix Design; thus, increased taxes reflect higher net income in the 2010 Period from our Matrix Design operation.
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest
.
The noncontrolling interest represents a 50% third-party
interest in MAC. The third-party's portion of MAC's net income was $0.2 million for the 2009 Period. Effective January 1, 2010, we deconsolidated MAC based on the amendments to the provisions of FASB ASC 810, Consolidation. For more
information about MAC, please read "Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited) – Note 13. Noncontrolling Interest" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) is defined as Net Income of ARLP before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and
amortization, net income attributable to noncontrolling interest and general and administrative expenses. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is a key component of consolidated EBITDA, which is used as a supplemental financial measure by management and by
external users of our financial statements such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others, to assess:
•
the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;
•
the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs and support its indebtedness;
•
our operating performance and return on investment as compared to those of other companies in the coal energy sector, without regard to financing or
capital structures; and
•
the viability of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA is also used as a supplemental financial measure by our management for reasons similar to those
stated in the above explanation of EBITDA. In addition, the exclusion of corporate general and administrative expenses from Segment Adjusted EBITDA allows management to focus solely on the evaluation of segment operating profitability as it relates
to our revenues and operating expenses which are primarily controlled by our segments.

consolidated Segment Adjusted EBITDA to net income and Net Income of ARLP, the most comparable GAAP financial measures (in thousands):

Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense (a non-GAAP financial measure) includes operating expenses, outside coal purchases and other income. Transportation expenses are
excluded as these expenses are passed through to our customers, and consequently we do not realize any gain or loss on transportation revenues. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense is used as a supplemental financial measure by our management to assess
the operating performance of our segments. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense is a key component of EBITDA in addition to coal sales and other sales and operating revenues. The exclusion of corporate general and administrative expenses from Segment
Adjusted EBITDA Expense allows management to focus solely on the evaluation of segment operating performance as it primarily relates to our operating expenses. Outside coal purchases are included in Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense because tons sold
and coal sales include sales from outside coal purchases.

Illinois Basin – Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased 44.7% to $344.2 million for the 2010 Period from
$237.9 million for the 2009 Period. The increase of $106.3 million was primarily attributable to increased tons sold, which increased 23.5% to 18.5 million tons sold in the 2010 Period, as well as improved contract pricing resulting in a higher
average coal sales price of $47.43 per ton during the 2010 Period compared to $43.27 per ton for the 2009 Period. Coal sales increased 35.4% to $875.8 million in the 2010 Period compared to $646.9 million in the 2009 Period. The increase of $228.9
million primarily reflects increased sales from our new River View mine (which commenced operations in August of 2009 and continued to expand production during the 2010 Period) and the negative impact of weather disruptions in the 2009 Period at our
Dotiki, Warrior and Elk Creek mines, partially offset by production disruptions at our Dotiki, Gibson and Pattiki mines during the 2010 Period. Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense for the 2010 Period increased 29.9% to $532.6 million from $410.1
million in the 2009 Period and increased $1.41 per ton sold to $28.84 from $27.43 per ton sold, primarily as a result of certain cost increases described above under consolidated operating expenses as well as a $1.2 million loss on the retirement of
certain assets related to the failure of the vertical hoist conveyor system at our Pattiki mine and the aforementioned production disruptions at our Dotiki, Gibson and Pattiki mines. For more information on our Pattiki mine, please read "Part
I. Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited) – Note 4. Pattiki Vertical Hoist Conveyor System Failure" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Central Appalachia – Segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased $5.4 million, or 18.1%, to $24.1 million for the 2010 Period, compared to $29.5 million for the 2009 Period. The decrease was primarily the
result of lower sales volumes due to reduced coal demand in the spot market during the 2010 Period, the impact of heightened regulatory oversight, lower clean coal recovery due to mining conditions and the continued impact of idling one mining unit
at Pontiki in July 2009, partially offset by improved contract pricing in the 2010 Period that resulted in an increase in the average coal sales price of $3.94 per ton to $72.59 per ton in the 2010 Period, as compared to $68.65 per ton in the 2009
Period. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense per ton sold during the 2010 Period increased to $58.29 compared to $53.85 per ton sold, an increase of $4.44 per ton sold, reflecting certain cost increases described above under consolidated operating
expenses, as well as the impact of lower coal sales volumes and decreased coal production in response to lower spot market demand and lower productivity due to Pontiki's transition from the depleted Pond Creek coal seam into the thinner Van
Lear coal seam during the 2009 Period. Although Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense per ton sold increased, Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense for the 2010 Period decreased 8.3% to $97.9 million from $106.8 million in the 2009 Period primarily as a result
of lower coal sales offset in part by higher expenses per ton as described above.
Northern Appalachia – Segment Adjusted
EBITDA increased to $29.9 million for the 2010 Period, compared to $11.6 million for the 2009 Period. The increase of $18.3 million was primarily
29
Table of Contents
attributable to strong contract pricing reflecting a higher average sales price of $62.11 per ton sold for the 2010 Period compared to $51.05 per ton sold for the 2009 Period, as well as
increased tons sold which increased 23.3% to 2.4 million tons in the 2010 Period, both resulting from improved demand in the export coal markets, as well as the benefit of increased production days and additional contract miner production.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense for the 2010 Period increased 34.8% to $119.9 million from $88.9 million in the 2009 Period and increased $4.30 on a per ton sold basis to $50.62 from $46.32 per ton sold, primarily as a result higher coal sales
volumes, higher costs associated with producing metallurgical quality coal, lower coal recoveries due to adverse geologic conditions, as well as other cost increases described above under consolidated operating expenses, including non-capitalized
costs incurred related to our Tunnel Ridge mine development project.
Other and Corporate – Segment Adjusted EBITDA
decreased to $5.7 million in the 2010 Period from $8.1 million in the 2009 Period. The decrease of $2.4 million was primarily attributable to the impact of the deconsolidation of MAC effective January 1, 2010, lower EBITDA associated with
Matrix Group safety equipment sales to our other subsidiaries (which are eliminated upon consolidation), a loss in the 2010 Period compared to a gain in the 2009 Period associated with United Kingdom ("UK") currency previously held for
future equipment purchases from a UK supplier and lower Mt. Vernon outside transloading revenues and affiliate administrative service revenues, partially offset by higher EBITDA resulting from increased third-party safety equipment sales and
services revenue at Matrix Design. For more information about MAC, please read "Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited) – Note 13. Noncontrolling Interest" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Other sales and
operating revenues increased 19.2% to $32.1 million for the 2010 Period compared to $27.0 million for the 2009 Period. The increase of $5.1 million was primarily attributable to increased services revenue and sales of mine safety equipment by the
Matrix Group. Segment Adjusted EBITDA Expense increased 46.7% to $28.3 million for the 2010 Period, primarily due to increased expenses associated with higher services revenue and safety equipment sales by the Matrix Group, higher coal brokerage
expenses associated with increased brokerage coal sales offset in part by the impact of the deconsolidation of MAC mentioned above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
We have
historically satisfied our working capital requirements and funded our capital expenditures and debt service obligations from cash generated from operations, cash provided by the issuance of debt or equity and borrowings under revolving credit
facilities. We believe that the current cash on hand, cash generated from operations, cash from borrowings under the ARLP Credit Facility, and cash provided from the issuance of debt or equity will be sufficient to meet our working capital
requirements, anticipated capital expenditures, scheduled debt payments and distribution payments. Our ability to satisfy our obligations and planned expenditures will depend upon our future operating performance and access to and cost of financing
sources, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions generally and in the coal industry specifically, which are beyond our control. Based on our recent operating results, current cash position, anticipated future cash flows and sources
of financing that we expect to have available, we do not anticipate any significant liquidity constraints in the foreseeable future. However, to the extent operating cash flow or access to and cost of financing sources are materially different than
expected, future liquidity may be adversely affected. Please read "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Cash Flows
Cash provided by operating activities was $394.2 million for
the 2010 Period compared to $238.3 million for the 2009 Period. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was principally
30
Table of Contents
attributable to higher net income, increases in certain operating liabilities, such as accrued taxes other than income taxes, accrued payroll and related expenses and a reduction in coal
inventory costs during the 2010 Period as compared to a significant increase during the 2009 Period. These increases in cash provided by operating activities were partially offset by increases in certain operating assets, such as accounts
receivable.
Net cash used in investing activities was $238.1 million for the 2010 Period compared to $249.1 million for the
2009 Period. The decrease in cash used for investing activities was primarily attributable to decreased capital expenditures due to the completion of our River View mine development during the 2009 Quarter and Warrior's infrastructure additions
during the second quarter of 2009, partially offset by an increase in Tunnel Ridge capital expenditures and timing differences in accounts payable and accrued liabilities compared to the 2009 Period.
Net cash used in financing activities was $157.1 million for the 2010 Period compared to $142.7 million for the 2009 Period. The increase
in cash used in financing activities was primarily attributable to increased distributions paid to partners in the 2010 Period.
Capital
Expenditures
Capital expenditures decreased to $233.8 million in the 2010 Period from $251.5 million in the 2009 Period.
See "—Cash Flows" above for additional information regarding capital expenditures.
Our anticipated total
capital expenditures for the year ending December 31, 2010 are estimated in a range of $285 to $325 million. Management anticipates funding remaining 2010 capital requirements with cash and cash equivalents ($20.3 million as of
September 30, 2010), cash flows provided by operations, borrowing available under the ARLP Credit Facility and, as necessary, by accessing the debt or equity capital markets. The availability and cost of additional capital will depend upon
prevailing market conditions, the market price of our common units and several other factors over which we have limited control, as well as our financial condition and results of operations.
Debt Obligations
ARLP Credit Facility.
Our Intermediate Partnership
maintains the ARLP Credit Facility, a $150.0 million revolving credit facility that matures September 25, 2012. On September 30, 2009, our Intermediate Partnership entered into Amendment No. 2 (the "Credit Amendment") to the
ARLP Credit Facility. The Credit Amendment increased the annual capital expenditure limits under the ARLP Credit Facility. The new limits are $471.8 million for 2010, $350.0 million for 2011 and $250.0 million for 2012. The amount of any annual
limit in excess of actual capital expenditures for that year carries forward and is added to the annual limit for the subsequent year.
At September 30, 2010, we had $11.6 million of letters of credit outstanding with $130.9 million available for borrowing under the ARLP Credit Facility. We had no borrowings outstanding under the
ARLP Credit Facility as of September 30, 2010. We incur an annual commitment fee of 0.375% on the undrawn portion of the ARLP Credit Facility.
Lehman Commercial Paper, Inc. ("Lehman"), a subsidiary of Lehman Brothers Holding, Inc., held a 5%, or $7.5 million, commitment in our $150 million ARLP Credit Facility. On February 11,
2010, we gave our lenders a notice of borrowing under the ARLP Credit Facility and, in response to that notice, Lehman notified us that it would not fund its proportionate share of the borrowing. As a result, as of February 11, 2010, Lehman
became a defaulting lender and on October 6, 2010, was removed as a commitment holder under the ARLP Credit Facility. Consequently, availability for borrowing under the ARLP Credit Facility was reduced by $7.5 million.

Senior Notes.
Our Intermediate Partnership has $72.0 million principal amount of 8.31% senior notes due August 20, 2014, payable in four remaining equal annual installments of $18.0 million with interest payable semi-annually ("Senior Notes").
Series A Senior Notes.
On June 26, 2008, our Intermediate Partnership entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the
"2008 Note Purchase Agreement") with a group of institutional investors in a private placement offering. We issued $205.0 million of Series A Senior Notes, which bear interest at 6.28% and mature on June 26, 2015 with interest payable
semi-annually.
Series B Senior Notes.
On June 26, 2008, we issued under the 2008 Note Purchase Agreement $145.0
million of Series B Senior Notes, which bear interest at 6.72% and mature on June 26, 2018 with interest payable semi-annually.
We incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $0.3 million in 2009 associated with the ARLP Credit Facility, which have been deferred and are being amortized as a component of interest expense over the
term of the respective notes.
The ARLP Credit Facility, Senior Notes and Series A and Series B Senior Notes (collectively,
"ARLP Debt Arrangements") are guaranteed by all of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of our Intermediate Partnership. The ARLP Debt Arrangements contain various covenants affecting our Intermediate Partnership and its subsidiaries
restricting, among other things, the amount of distributions by our Intermediate Partnership, the incurrence of additional indebtedness and liens, the sale of assets, the making of investments, the entry into mergers and consolidations and the entry
into transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to various exceptions. The ARLP Debt Arrangements also require the Intermediate Partnership to remain in control of a certain amount of mineable coal reserves relative to its annual production.
In addition, the ARLP Debt Arrangements require our Intermediate Partnership to maintain the following: (i) debt to cash flow ratio of not more than 3.0 to 1.0, (ii) cash flow to interest expense ratio of not less than 4.0 to 1.0, in each
case, during the four most recently ended fiscal quarters and (iii) maximum annual capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, of $471.8 million for the year ending December 31, 2010. The debt to cash flow ratio and cash flow to interest
expense ratio were 0.77 to 1.0 and 17.5 to 1.0, respectively, for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2010. Actual capital expenditures were $233.8 million for the 2010 Period. We were in compliance with the covenants of the ARLP
Debt Arrangements as of September 30, 2010.
Other.
In addition to the letters of credit available under the ARLP
Credit Facility discussed above, we also have agreements with two banks to provide additional letters of credit in an aggregate amount of $31.1 million to maintain surety bonds to secure certain asset retirement obligations and our obligations for
workers' compensation benefits. At September 30, 2010, we had $30.7 million in letters of credit outstanding under agreements with these two banks. SGP guarantees $5.0 million of these outstanding letters of credit.
Related-Party Transactions
We have continuing related-party transactions with our managing general partner, AHGP and SGP and its affiliates. These related-party transactions relate principally to the provision of administrative
services to AHGP and Alliance Resource Holdings II, Inc. ("ARH II") and their respective affiliates, a time sharing agreement concerning use of aircraft and mineral and equipment leases with SGP and its affiliates, and guarantees from SGP
for certain letters of credit.
MAC has a $1.75 million Revolving Credit Agreement ("Revolver") with ARLP. On
November 17, 2009, MAC entered into Amendment No. 2, effective June 30, 2009, which increased the Revolver to
32
Table of Contents
$1.75 million from $1.5 million. The Revolver is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2010. At September 30, 2010, MAC owed ARLP $1.7 million under the Revolver, which is classified as
Due from Affiliates on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
On April 1, 2010, effective January 1, 2010, ARLP
entered into an Amended and Restated Administrative Services Agreement (the "Agreement") with our managing general partner, our Intermediate Partnership, AHGP and its general partner AGP, and ARH II, the indirect parent of SGP. The
Agreement supersedes the Administrative Services Agreement signed in connection with the AHGP initial public offering in 2006. Under the Agreement, certain employees, including some executive officers, provide administrative services to AHGP and ARH
II and their respective affiliates. We are reimbursed for services rendered by our employees on behalf of these affiliates as provided under the Agreement.
In August 2010, the coal lease agreement between Tunnel Ridge and SGP was amended to include additional coal reserves in the Pittsburgh No. 8 coal seam located in Ohio County, West Virginia and
Washington County, Pennsylvania. This lease amendment added approximately 33.0 million tons of clean recoverable coal reserves to the proven and probable categories.
Because the Agreement and the Tunnel Ridge amendment described above were related-party transactions, they were reviewed by the board of directors of our managing general partner and its conflicts
committee. Based upon this review, the conflicts committee determined that these transactions reflected market clearing terms and conditions. As a result, the board of directors of our managing general partner and its conflicts committee approved
the transactions as fair and reasonable to us and our limited partners.
Please read our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2009, "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Related-Party Transactions" for additional information concerning related-party transactions.
New Accounting Standards
New Accounting Standards Issued and Adopted
In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2009-17,
Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities
("ASU
2009-17"). ASU 2009-17 codified Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 167,
Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)
)
,
which changed the consolidation guidance applicable to a variable interest entity
("VIE"). ASU 2009-17 updated the guidance governing the determination of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and is, therefore, required to consolidate such VIE, by requiring a qualitative analysis rather than a
quantitative analysis. The qualitative analysis includes, among other things, consideration of whether the enterprise has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and has
the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. ASU 2009-17 also requires continuous reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE.
Previously, FASB ASC 810,
Consolidation
, required reconsideration of whether an enterprise was the primary beneficiary of a VIE only when specific events had occurred. Qualifying special purpose entities, which were previously exempt from the
application of this standard, are now subject to the provisions of ASU 2009-17. In addition, ASU 2009-17 also requires enhanced disclosures about an enterprise's involvement with a VIE. The provisions of ASU 2009-17 were effective as of the
beginning of interim and annual reporting periods that began after November 15, 2009. Based on our evaluation of ASU 2009-17, we deconsolidated Mid-America Carbonates, LLC ("MAC") upon adoption, effective January 1, 2010. For
more information about MAC, please read "Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements

(Unaudited) – Note 13. Noncontrolling Interest" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The deconsolidation of MAC did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial
statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06,
Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements
("ASU 2010-06"). ASU 2010-06 amended guidance on certain aspects of FASB ASC 820,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,
to add new requirements for disclosures of transfers into and out of Level 1 and 2 measurements and
separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements, all on a gross basis. ASU 2010-06 also clarifies existing fair value disclosures regarding the level of disaggregation and the inputs and
valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The provisions of ASU 2010-06 were effective for the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide Level 3 activity of purchases, sales,
issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Pattiki Vertical Hoist
Conveyor System Failure
On May 13, 2010, White County Coal's Pattiki mine was temporarily idled following the
failure of the vertical hoist conveyor system used in conveying raw coal out of the mine. On July 19, 2010, White County Coal's efforts to repair the vertical hoist conveyor system had progressed sufficiently to allow resumption of limited
production operations. Our operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 includes $1.2 million for retirement of certain assets related to the failed vertical hoist conveyor system in addition to other repair and clean-up
expenses that were not significant on a consolidated or segment basis. We are conducting a final review of our commercial property (including business interruption) insurance policies, which at the time of the equipment failure provided for
self-retention, various deductibles and 22% co-insurance for the first $50 million in coverage. As the loss on the vertical hoist conveyor system did not exceed our deductible for property damage, we currently believe recovery is unlikely under such
policies.
While the Pattiki mine was temporarily idled, we expanded coal production at our other coal mines in the region,
including the addition of the seventh and eighth production units at the River View mine, to partially offset the loss of production from the Pattiki mine. Consequently, the temporary idling of the Pattiki mine did not have a material adverse impact
on our results of operations and cash flows. On July 19, 2010, the Pattiki mine resumed limited production while White County Coal continues to assess the effectiveness and reliability of the repaired vertical hoist conveyor system until such
time it determines the system can be operated at full capacity. We are now operating six unit shifts at Pattiki and plan to add two more unit shifts during the quarter ending December 31, 2010, bringing Pattiki back to full capacity by the end
of the year.
Insurance
During September 2010, we completed our annual property and casualty insurance renewal with various insurance coverages effective October 1, 2010. The aggregate maximum limit in the commercial
property program is $75.0 million per occurrence excluding a $1.5 million deductible for property damage, a 60-day waiting period for business interruption and a $10.0 million overall aggregate deductible. The aforementioned property and casualty
insurance coverages, effective October 1, 2010, replaced our prior year 14.7% participation rate with the deductibles mentioned above. We can make no assurances that we will not experience significant insurance claims in the future that could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and ability to purchase property insurance in the future.

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We have significant long-term coal supply agreements. Virtually all of the long-term coal supply agreements are subject to price adjustment provisions, which permit an increase or decrease periodically in
the contract price principally to reflect changes in specified price indices or items such as taxes, royalties or actual production costs.
Almost all of our transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars and, as a result, we do not have material exposure to currency exchange-rate risks. During 2009, we entered into a contract to purchase
longwall shields for our Tunnel Ridge mine from a foreign supplier for approximately £10.2 million. We have paid £10.2 million to this foreign supplier through September 30, 2010, thus fulfilling our obligation. We do not have
any interest rate or commodity price-hedging transactions outstanding.
Borrowings under the ARLP Credit Facility are at
variable rates and, as a result, we have interest rate exposure. Historically, our earnings have not been materially affected by changes in interest rates. We had no borrowings outstanding under the ARLP Credit Facility at September 30, 2010.
As of September 30, 2010, the estimated fair value of the Senior Notes and Series A and Series B Senior Notes was
approximately $482.1 million. The fair values of long-term debt are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based upon our current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements as of September 30, 2010. There
were no other significant changes in our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk as set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. An evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures
(as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act) was performed as of September 30, 2010. This evaluation was performed by our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the ARLP Partnership is able to collect, process and disclose the information it is
required to disclose in the reports it files with the SEC within the required time periods, and during the quarterly period ended September 30, 2010, there have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined
in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) identified in connection with this evaluation that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The
information in Note 3. Contingencies to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in "Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q herein is hereby incorporated by
reference. See also "Item 3. Legal Proceedings" of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and "Part II. Item 1. Legal Proceedings" of the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters
ended March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2010.
On April 24, 2006, we were served with a complaint from Mr. Ned
Comer, et al. (the "Plaintiffs") alleging that approximately 40 oil and coal companies, including us, (the "Defendants") are liable to the Plaintiffs for tortuously causing damage to Plaintiffs' property in Mississippi. The
Plaintiffs allege that the Defendants' greenhouse gas emissions caused global warming and resulted in the increase in the destructive capacity of Hurricane Katrina. On August 30, 2007, the trial court dismissed the Plaintiffs'
complaint. On September 17, 2007, Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal of that dismissal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. On October 16, 2009, the Fifth Circuit overturned the trial court's dismissal of the
Plaintiffs' private nuisance, trespass and negligence claims, finding Article III constitutional standing and no political question. The Fifth Circuit remanded these claims to the trial court for further proceedings. By order filed
February 26, 2010, the Fifth Circuit granted the Defendants' petition for rehearing en banc, with oral argument scheduled for May 24, 2010. On May 28, 2010, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed the appeal because the
court did not have a quorum after one of the judges hearing the appeal recused herself. The court ruled that, without a quorum, it could not decide the appeal nor could it reinstate the earlier ruling by a three judge panel that would have reversed
the District Courts decision dismissing the case. On August 26, 2010, Plaintiffs petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court seeking a Writ of Mandamus ordering the Fifth Circuit to reinstate the appeal. Defendants' response to the petition is due
November 24, 2010. We believe this complaint is without merit and we do not believe that an adverse decision in this litigation matter, if any, based on our status as a defendant, will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
position or results of operations. If, however, tort claims brought in this and other cases against corporate defendants for liability arising from greenhouse gas emissions are successful, demand for our coal could be adversely impacted.
ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS
We are
subject to a variety of risks, including, but not limited to those referenced under the heading "Health Care Reform" of "Part I. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and those referenced herein to other Items contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, including "Item 1. Business", "Item 1A. Risk
Factors", "Item 3. Legal Proceedings" and "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." Except as set forth under "—Health Care Reform" and
elsewhere under "Part I. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we do not believe there have been any material changes to the risk
factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2010, except as follows.

Table of Contents
Recent legislation regarding
health care may adversely impact our results of operations.
On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed into law
the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Additionally, on March 30, 2010, President Obama signed into law a reconciliation measure, the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010. The passage of the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (collectively, the "Health Care Act") will result in comprehensive changes to health care in the U.S. Implementation of this legislation is planned to occur in
phases, with standard plan changes taking effect beginning in 2010, but to a greater extent with the 2011 benefit plan year and extending through 2018.
The Health Care Act has both short-term and long-term implications on benefit plan eligibility, coverage requirements, and benefit standards and limitations. In the short term, our health care costs are
expected to increase due to raising the maximum age and easing of eligibility limitations for covered dependents. The Health Care Act also prevents the group health plan from limiting benefit payments for participants who meet or exceed annual or
lifetime dollar limits per covered individual. We do not currently expect raising the maximum age and easing of eligibility limitations for covered dependents to significantly increase our annual health care costs beginning in 2011. In addition, we
currently expect removing the lifetime maximum to have an additional impact on us that we are unable to reasonably estimate at this time. While historically few participants have reached the plan lifetime maximum limit of $1 million, future federal
and state mandates are expected to impact large claims costs and make this a potentially greater risk variable in the future. In the long term, our plan's health care costs are expected to increase for various reasons due to the Health Care
Act, including the potential impact of an excise tax on "high cost" plans (beginning in 2018), among other standard requirements. We have chosen not to "grandfather" our health care plan as allowed under the Health Care Act.
Maintaining "grandfather" status prevents the plan from making plan benefit modifications that encourage participants to use high value, lower cost medical care options such as on-site medical services, generic preferred medications, and
urgent care centers instead of emergency rooms.
We anticipate that certain government agencies will provide additional
regulations or interpretations concerning the application of the Health Care Act and reporting required thereunder. Until these regulations or interpretations are published, we are unable to reasonably estimate the further impact of such federal
mandate requirements on our future health care costs.
We will continue to evaluate the potential impact of the legislation on
our self-insured long term disability plan, Black Lung liabilities, results of operations and internal controls as governmental agencies issue interpretations regarding the meaning and scope of the Health Care Act. However, we believe it is likely
that our costs will increase as a result of these provisions, which may have an adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows.
Recent health care legislation has generally made it easier for claimants to assert and prosecute Black Lung claims, which could increase our
exposure to Black Lung benefit liabilities.
The recently enacted Health Care Act includes a Black Lung provision that
creates a rebuttable presumption that a miner with at least 15 years of service, with totally disabling pulmonary or respiratory lung impairment and negative radiographic chest x-ray evidence, would be disabled due to pneumoconiosis and be eligible
for Black Lung benefits. The new Health Care Act also makes it easier for widows of miners to become eligible for benefits, as it amended previous legislation related to coal workers' Black Lung benefits by providing automatic extensions of
awarded lifetime benefits to surviving spouses and providing changes to the legal criteria used to assess and award claims, effective for claims filed or pending after January 1, 2005. As a result of this new legislation, the number of
claimants who are awarded benefits and our future payments of Black Lung benefits could increase, which may have an adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows.

OTHER INFORMATION
Federal Mine Safety and Health Act Information
Workplace safety is fundamental to our culture. Our operating subsidiaries empower their employees to be actively involved in continuous efforts to prevent accidents. By providing a work environment that
rewards safety and encourages employee participation in the safety process, our mining operations strive to be the leaders in safety performance in our industry.
We are also a leader in developing and implementing new technologies to improve safety throughout the industry. For example, our subsidiary Matrix Design recently announced the development of two
innovative technologies designed to improve safety in underground mining operations - a portable, wireless communication and electronic tracking system designed to allow surface personnel the ability to communicate with and locate underground mining
personnel and a proximity detection system designed to improve the safety of continuous mining units used in underground operations. Matrix Design has completed installation of its communication and tracking system at all of our operating
subsidiaries and has either installed or received orders to install this vital safety system at over half of the operating underground coal mines in the U.S. In addition, Matrix Design has installed and is conducting field tests on eleven of its
proximity detection systems at eight of our operating subsidiaries' underground coal mines.
Our
industry is focused on improving employee safety and its safety performance is continuously monitored, including through the mining industry standard of "non-fatal days lost", or "NFDL", which reflects both the frequency and
severity of injuries incurred and, we believe, is a better measure of safety performance than compliance statistics. As indicated in the chart below, these efforts have resulted in significant safety improvements as the industry average NFDL, as
reported
(
a)
by the Mine Safety and Health Administration ("MSHA"), has
decreased approximately 60% since 1998.
40
Table of Contents
(a)
Data compiled for all U.S. underground bituminous coal mines and related surface facilities from the MSHA report "Mine Injury and Worktime, Quarterly Closeout
Edition." Data for 1998 through 2009 reflects the "January – December, Final" report for each year. Data for 2010 reflects the "January – June, Preliminary" report for the first six months of 2010.
During this same time period, the combined NFDL rating of our operating subsidiaries has averaged approximately
one-third better than the industry average. The average NFDL rating of our operating subsidiaries through September 30, 2010 has positioned us to achieve our best annual NFDL results in our history.
Our mining operations are subject to extensive and stringent compliance standards established pursuant to the Federal Mine Safety and
Health Act of 1977, as amended by the Federal Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006 (as amended, the "Mine Act"). MSHA monitors and rigorously enforces compliance with these standards, and our mining operations are
inspected frequently. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, our mines were subject to 1,598 MSHA inspection days, with an average of only 0.19 "significant and substantial", or "S&S", citations written per
inspection day.
We endeavor to comply at all times with all Mine Act regulations. However, the Mine Act has been construed as
authorizing MSHA to issue citations and orders pursuant to the legal doctrine of strict liability, or liability without fault. If, in the opinion of an MSHA inspector, a condition that violates the Mine Act or regulations promulgated pursuant to it
exists, then a citation or order will be issued regardless of whether we had any knowledge of, or fault in, the existence of that condition. Many of the Mine Act standards include one or more subjective elements, so that issuance of a citation often
depends on the opinions or experience of the MSHA inspector involved and the frequency of citations will vary from inspector to inspector.
The number of citations issued also is affected by the size of the mine, in that the number of citations issued generally increases with the size of the mine. Our mines typically are larger in scale than
most underground coal mines in the U.S. in terms of area, production and employee hours.
41
Table of Contents
We take all
allegations of violations of Mine Act standards seriously, and if we disagree with the assertions of an MSHA inspector, we exercise our right to challenge those findings by "contesting" the citation or order pursuant to the procedures
established by the Mine Act and its regulations. During 2010, our operating subsidiaries have contested approximately 25% of all citations and the majority of S&S citations issued by MSHA inspectors. These contest proceedings frequently result
in the dismissal or modification of previously issued citations, substantial reductions in the penalty amounts originally assessed by MSHA, or both.
The recently enacted Dodd-Frank Act requires issuers to include in periodic reports filed with the SEC certain information relating to citations or orders for violations of standards under the Mine Act.
Responding to that legislation, we report that, for the three months ended September 30, 2010, none of our operating subsidiaries (a) received any violations under section 110(b)(2) of the Mine Act for failure to make reasonable efforts to
eliminate a known violation of a mandatory safety or health standard that substantially proximately caused, or reasonably could have been expected to cause, death or serious bodily injury, (b) received any MSHA written notice under Mine Act
section 104(e) of a pattern of violations of mandatory health or safety standards or the potential to have such a pattern, (c) had any fatalities or (d) had any legal proceedings (i.e. appeals before the Federal Mine Safety and Health
Review Commission (the "Commission")) pending. We have 264 contests pending before administrative law judges of the Commission that were initiated during the quarter and that involve all types of citations (i.e., not just S&S
citations).
