    We are a leading Appalachian coal producer. Our reserves
    primarily consist of high Btu, low sulfur steam coal that is
    currently in high demand in U.S.&nbsp;coal markets and
    metallurgical coal that is currently in high demand in both U.S.
    and international coal markets. We produce, process and sell
    steam and metallurgical coal from seven regional business units,
    which, as of September&nbsp;15, 2005, are supported by 44 active
    underground mines, 20 active surface mines and 11 preparation
    plants located throughout Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky and
    Pennsylvania. We are also actively involved in the purchase and
    resale of coal mined by others, the majority of which we blend
    with coal produced from our mines, allowing us to realize a
    higher overall margin for the blended product than we would be
    able to achieve selling these coals separately.</TD>

    Steam coal, which is primarily purchased by large utilities and
    industrial customers as fuel for electricity generation,
    accounted for approximately 58% of our coal sales volume in the
    first six months of 2005 and 63% of our 2004 coal sales volume.
    The majority of our steam coal sales volume in the first six
    months of 2005 and during 2004 consisted of high Btu (above
    12,500 Btu content per pound), low sulfur (sulfur content of
    1.5% or less) coal, which typically sells at a premium to
    lower-Btu, higher-sulfur steam coal. Metallurgical coal, which
    is used primarily to make coke, a key component in the steel
    making process, accounted for approximately 42% of our coal
    sales volume in the first six months of 2005 and 37% of our 2004
    coal sales volume. Metallurgical coal generally sells at a
    premium over steam coal because of its higher quality and its
    value in the steelmaking process as the raw material for coke.
    Under current market conditions, we are able to market a
    significant portion of our higher quality steam coal as
    metallurgical coal.</TD>

Summary Historical and Pro Forma Financial Data.&#148; In 2004,
we sold a total of 25.3&nbsp;million tons of steam and
metallurgical coal and generated revenues of
$1,252.7&nbsp;million, EBITDA of $99.5&nbsp;million and net
income of $20.0&nbsp;million. Our coal sales during the first
six months of 2005 consisted of 9.8&nbsp;million tons of
produced and processed coal, including 0.6&nbsp;million tons
purchased from third parties and processed at our processing
plants or loading facilities prior to resale, and
2.4&nbsp;million tons of purchased coal that we resold without
processing. Our coal sales during 2004 consisted of
18.9&nbsp;million tons of produced and processed coal, including
0.9&nbsp;million tons purchased from third parties and processed
at our processing plants or loading facilities prior to resale,
and 6.4&nbsp;million tons of purchased coal that we resold
without processing. We sold a total of 3.0&nbsp;million tons of
purchased coal during the first six months of 2005 and
7.3&nbsp;million tons in 2004, of which approximately 73% and
81%, respectively, was blended with coal produced from our mines
prior to resale. Approximately 47% of our sales revenue in the
first six months of 2005 and in 2004 was derived from sales made
outside the United States, primarily in Japan, Canada, Brazil,
Korea and several countries in Europe.

As of July&nbsp;31, 2005, we owned or leased 492.2&nbsp;million
tons of proven and probable coal reserves. Of our total proven
and probable reserves, approximately 89% are low sulfur
reserves, with approximately 57% having sulfur content below
1.0%. Approximately 94% of our total proven and probable
reserves have a high Btu content. We believe that our total
proven and probable reserves will support current production
levels for more than 25&nbsp;years.

On September&nbsp;23, 2005, we entered into agreements to
acquire certain privately held coal reserves and operations in
southern West Virginia and southwestern Virginia (the
&#147;Nicewonder Acquisition&#148;). Pursuant to the agreements
and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions
therein, we have agreed to purchase the outstanding capital
stock of White Flame Energy, Inc., Twin Star Mining, Inc. and
Nicewonder Contracting, Inc., the equity interests of Powers
Shop, LLC and Buchanan Energy, LLC and substantially all of the
assets of Mate Creek Energy of W. Va., Inc. and Virginia Energy
Company, and to acquire Premium Energy, Inc. by merger (together
referred to as the &#147;Nicewonder Coal Group&#148;). We have
agreed to pay an aggregate purchase price of $316.2&nbsp;million
for the Nicewonder Coal Group, including $35.2&nbsp;million in
cash, $221.0&nbsp;million principal amount of promissory
installment notes of one of our indirect, wholly owned
subsidiaries, payable in two installments of $181.1&nbsp;million
one week after closing and $39.9&nbsp;million on
January&nbsp;15, 2006, and the issuance of a number of shares of
our common stock having a fair market value of approximately
$60.0&nbsp;million based on the weighted average trading price
of our common stock during the 20-day trading period immediately
prior to the closing, subject to certain adjustments. The
purchase price is subject to certain working capital and other
adjustments.

We anticipate that we will close our purchase of the Nicewonder
Coal Group in late October 2005; however, it is possible that
the Nicewonder Acquisition may not be consummated in that time
period or at all. Closing of the acquisition of the Nicewonder
Coal Group is subject to certain conditions set forth in the
acquisition agreements, including securing financing, receiving
necessary regulatory approvals, entering into definitive
agreements with certain customers of the Nicewonder Coal Group,
receiving certain third party consents and other customary
conditions.

For the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 and the six
months ended June&nbsp;30, 2005, the Nicewonder Coal Group
produced approximately 3.8&nbsp;million and 2.0&nbsp;million
tons of coal, respectively. For the fiscal year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2004 and the six months ended June&nbsp;30,
2005, the Nicewonder Coal Group generated revenues of
approximately $144.6&nbsp;million and $98.3&nbsp;million,
respectively, and EBITDA of $37.4&nbsp;million and
$33.2&nbsp;million, respectively. EBITDA for the Nicewonder Coal

    the term loan facility and a portion of the proceeds from
    drawings under the revolving credit facility to finance the
    Nicewonder Acquisition and to refinance our existing
    $175.0&nbsp;million credit facility, which currently provides
    for a revolving line of credit of up to $125&nbsp;million and a

    declining supplies of coal in recent years while regional
    demand, already the highest in the United States based on tons
    consumed, is expected to increase due to growth in regional
    demand for electricity. We believe these trends in Appalachian
    coal supply and demand, the high quality of Appalachian coal and
    the lower transportation costs that result from the proximity of
    Appalachian producers and customers create favorable pricing
    dynamics that provide us with an advantage over producers from

reclamation liabilities of $41.0&nbsp;million, self-insured
workers&#146; compensation liabilities of $5.9&nbsp;million and
post-retirement obligations of $20.1&nbsp;million, and we had no
pension liabilities and minimal black lung liabilities. We
believe the amount of these liabilities are among the lowest of
the publicly-traded U.S.&nbsp;coal producers. In addition,
because over 90% of our approximately 2,850 employees are
employed by our subsidiaries on a union-free basis as of
September&nbsp;30, 2005, and approximately 95% of our coal
production during 2004 was produced from mines operated by
union-free employees, we are better able to minimize the types
of employee-related liabilities commonly associated with
union-represented mines. Similar to Alpha, the Nicewonder Coal
Group has a comparatively low amount of long-term reclamation
liabilities, and, as of June&nbsp;30, 2005, had accrued
approximately $9.2&nbsp;million for such liabilities. All of the

and has successfully integrated a number of acquisitions.</I>
Our senior executives have, on average, more than 20&nbsp;years
of experience in the coal industry, largely in the Appalachian
region, and they have substantial experience in increasing
productivity, reducing costs, implementing our marketing
strategy and coal blending capabilities, improving safety, and
developing and maintaining strong customer and employee
relationships. In addition to their operating strengths, the
majority of our senior executives have significant experience in
identifying, acquiring and integrating acquired coal companies
into existing organizations.

We believe that we are well-positioned to enhance our position
as a leading Appalachian coal producer by continuing to
implement our strategy, which consists of the following key
components:

<I>Achieve premium pricing and optimum efficiency in contract
fulfillment.</I> We intend to continue to use our diversified
operating strategy, coal blending capabilities, market knowledge
and strong marketing organization to identify and capitalize on
opportunities to generate premium pricing for our coal and to
achieve optimum efficiency in fulfillment of coal contracts. As
of October&nbsp;6, 2005, approximately 20% of our planned
production for 2006 and 53% of our planned production for 2007
was uncommitted and was not yet priced, which we believe
provides us with significant price certainty in the short-term
while maintaining uncommitted planned production that allows us
to take an opportunistic approach to selling our coal. We
believe our planned Nicewonder Acquisition will further enhance
our ability to achieve premium pricing and optimum efficiency in
contract fulfillment. The Nicewonder Coal Group, which is
currently a 4.3&nbsp;million ton per year operation, has 42% of
planned production for 2006 and 86% of planned production for
2007 uncommitted as of October&nbsp;6, 2005.

<I>Maximize profitability of our mining operations.</I> We

<I>Pursue strategic value-creating acquisitions.</I> We have
successfully acquired and integrated businesses into our
operations, and we intend to continue to expand our business and
coal reserves through acquisitions of attractive, strategically
positioned assets. Although we intend to concentrate our efforts
in Appalachia, where we believe there remain attractive
acquisition opportunities, we will continue to evaluate
opportunities in other regions that meet our acquisition
criteria. We employ what we believe is a disciplined acquisition
strategy focused on acquiring coal and coal-related operations
and assets at attractive valuations. We believe that our planned
acquisition of the Nicewonder Coal Group is consistent with this
strategy.

Our ability to execute our strategy is subject to the risks that
are generally associated with the coal industry. For example,
our profitability could decline due to changes in coal prices or
coal consumption patterns, as well as unanticipated mine
operating conditions, loss of customers, changes in our ability
to access our coal reserves and other factors that are not
within our control. Furthermore, the heavily regulated nature of
the coal industry imposes significant actual and potential costs
on us, and future regulations could increase those costs or
limit our ability to produce coal.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
We are also subject to a number of risks related to our
competitive position and business strategies. For example, our
acquisitive business strategy exposes us to the risks involved
in consummating and integrating acquisitions, including the risk
that in a future acquisition we could assume more long-term
liabilities relative to the value of the acquired assets than we
have assumed in our previous acquisitions, thereby reducing our
competitive strength with regard to our level of long-term
liabilities. In addition, our focus on the Central and Northern
Appalachian regions exposes us to the risks of operating in
these regions, including higher costs of production as compared
to other coal-producing regions and more costly and restrictive
permitting, licensing and other environmental and regulatory
requirements. For additional risks relating to our business and
this offering, see &#147;Risk Factors&#148; beginning on
page&nbsp;17 of this prospectus.

We expect near-term volume growth in U.S.&nbsp;coal consumption
to be driven by greater utilization at existing coal-fired
electricity generating plants, which operated at an estimated
72% of capacity in 2004, according to Platts. If existing
U.S.&nbsp;coal fueled plants operate at estimated potential
utilization rates of 85%, we believe they would consume
approximately 185&nbsp;million additional tons of coal per year,
which represents an increase of approximately 16% over current
coal consumption.

We expect longer-term volume growth in U.S.&nbsp;coal
consumption to be driven by the construction of new coal-fired
plants. The National Energy Technology Laboratory
(&#147;NETL&#148;), an arm of the U.S.&nbsp;Department of Energy
(the &#147;DOE&#148;), projects that more than 100,000 megawatts
of new coal-fired electric generation capacity will be
constructed in the United States by 2025. The NETL has
identified 124&nbsp;coal-fired plants, representing
73,000&nbsp;megawatts of electric generation capacity, that have
been proposed and are currently in various stages of
development. The DOE projects that approximately 70 of these
proposed coal-fired plants, representing approximately
43,000&nbsp;megawatts of electric generation capacity, will be
completed and will begin consuming coal to produce electricity
by the end of 2010.

The current pricing environment for U.S.&nbsp;metallurgical coal
is also strong in both the domestic and seaborne export markets.
Demand for metallurgical coal in the United States has increased
due to a recovery in the U.S.&nbsp;steel industry. In addition
to increased demand for metallurgical coal in the United States,
demand for metallurgical coal has increased in international
markets. According to the International Iron and Steel
Institute, global steel consumption increased by 8.8% during
2004 over the 2003 level, Chinese steel consumption increased
approximately 11% in 2004 over 2003, and Asia-Pacific Rim
consumption of metallurgical coal continues to strain supply.
For example, BHP Billiton, a major Australian producer, reported
a 53% increase in average realized metallurgical coal prices for
fiscal year 2005 over the prior fiscal year, and Fording
Canadian Coal Trust, a major Canadian producer, reported an
increase of approximately 62% in average metallurgical coal
sales price for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2005 over the
same period in 2004. The tightening supply of metallurgical coal
in global markets has been due in part to supply disruptions in
Australia, the world&#146;s largest coal exporter, and the
decision by China, the world&#146;s second largest coal
exporter, to restrict its metallurgical coal exports in order to
satisfy domestic demand. Additionally, the recent weakness of
the U.S.&nbsp;dollar has made U.S.&nbsp;metallurgical coal more
competitive in international markets. The table below describes
average sale prices, according to Platts, for low volatile
metallurgical coal at the Hampton Roads, Virginia export
terminals, through which we ship the great majority of our
metallurgical coal exports and which collectively constitute the
highest

ANR Holdings, LLC (&#147;ANR Holdings&#148;) was formed in
December 2002 by First Reserve Fund&nbsp;IX, L.P. and ANR
Fund&nbsp;IX Holdings, L.P. (referred to as the &#147;First
Reserve Stockholders&#148; or collectively with their
affiliates, &#147;First Reserve&#148;) and our management to
serve as the top-tier holding company of the Alpha Natural
Resources organization. On December&nbsp;13, 2002, we acquired a
majority of the Virginia coal operations of Pittston Coal
Company, a subsidiary of The Brink&#146;s Company, our
Predecessor. On January&nbsp;31, 2003, we acquired the
membership interests of Coastal Coal Company, LLC and certain
affiliates (&#147;Coastal Coal Company&#148;). On March&nbsp;11,
2003, we acquired American Metals&nbsp;&#38; Coal International,
Inc.&#146;s (&#147;AMCI&#148;) U.S.&nbsp;coal production and
marketing operations. We refer to the U.S.&nbsp;coal operations
and marketing assets we acquired from AMCI as
&#147;U.S.&nbsp;AMCI&#148;. On November&nbsp;17, 2003, we
acquired the assets of Mears Enterprises, Inc. and affiliated
entities (collectively, &#147;Mears&#148;) for
$38.0&nbsp;million. On May&nbsp;18, 2004, our subsidiary, Alpha
Natural Resources, LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Alpha
Natural Resources Capital Corp., issued $175.0&nbsp;million
principal amount of 10%&nbsp;senior notes due 2012, and on
May&nbsp;28, 2004, we entered into a $175.0&nbsp;million credit
facility (together referred to as the &#147;2004
Financings&#148;). On February&nbsp;11, 2005, Alpha Natural
Resources, Inc. succeeded to the business and became the
indirect parent entity of ANR Holdings in a series of internal
restructuring transactions which we refer to collectively as the
&#147;Internal Restructuring,&#148; and on February&nbsp;18,
2005, Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. completed the initial public
offering of 33,925,000&nbsp;shares of its common stock for an
aggregate offering price of $644.6&nbsp;million, which we refer
to herein as the &#147;IPO.&#148;

On September&nbsp;23, 2005, we entered into agreements to
acquire the Nicewonder Coal Group and a related commitment
letter for the 2005 Financing. The purchase price for the
acquisition is $316.2&nbsp;million and will consist of cash at
closing of $35.2&nbsp;million, promissory notes payable to the
sellers in the aggregate principal amount of
$221.0&nbsp;million, payable in two installments of
$181.1&nbsp;million due one week after closing and
$39.9&nbsp;million due in January 2006, and shares of our common
stock with an approximate value of $60.0&nbsp;million. The
summary pro forma balance sheet data as of June&nbsp;30, 2005,
give pro forma effect to the Nicewonder Acquisition and the 2005
Financing, including payment of the first installment of the
notes issued to the sellers, in each case as if they had
occurred on June&nbsp;30, 2005, and the summary pro forma
statement of operations data for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2004 and the six months ended June&nbsp;30,
2005, give pro forma effect to the 2004 Financings, the Internal
Restructuring, the IPO, the Nicewonder Acquisition and the 2005
Financing, including payment of the first installment of the
notes issued to the sellers, in each case as if they had
occurred on January&nbsp;1, 2004. The summary pro forma
financial data are for informational purposes only and should
not be considered indicative of actual results that would have
been achieved had these events actually been consummated on the
dates indicated and do not purport to indicate results of
operations as of any future date or for any future period.

    The first set of earnings per share data is labeled &#147;net
    income (loss) per share, as adjusted.&#148; The numerator for
    purposes of computing basic and diluted net income (loss) per
    share, as adjusted, includes the reported net income (loss) and
    a pro forma adjustment for income taxes to reflect the pro forma
    income taxes for ANR Fund&nbsp;IX Holdings, L.P.&#146;s portion
    of reported pre-tax income (loss), which would have been
    recorded if the issuance of the shares of common stock received
    by the First Reserve Stockholders in exchange for their
    ownership in ANR Holdings in connection with the Internal
    Restructuring had occurred as of January&nbsp;1, 2003. For
    purposes of the computation of basic and diluted net income
    (loss) per share, as adjusted, the pro forma adjustment for
    income taxes only applies to the percentage interest owned by
    ANR Fund&nbsp;IX Holding, L.P., the non-taxable First Reserve
    Stockholder. No pro forma adjustment for income taxes is
    required for the percentage interest owned by Alpha NR Holding,
    Inc., the taxable First Reserve Stockholder, because income
    taxes have already been recorded in the historical results of
    operations. Furthermore, no pro forma adjustment to reported net
    income (loss) is necessary subsequent to February&nbsp;11, 2005
    because Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. is subject to income taxes.</TD>

    (loss) per share, as adjusted, reflects the retroactive impact
    of the common shares received by the First Reserve Stockholders
    in exchange for their ownership in ANR Holdings in connection
    with the Internal Restructuring on a weighted-average
    outstanding share basis as being outstanding as of
    January&nbsp;1, 2003. The common shares issued to the minority
    interest owners of ANR Holdings in connection with the Internal
    Restructuring, including the immediately vested shares granted
    to management, have been reflected as being outstanding as of
    February&nbsp;11, 2005 for purposes of computing the basic net
    income (loss) per share, as adjusted. The unvested shares
    granted to management on February&nbsp;11, 2005 that vest
    monthly over the two-year period from January&nbsp;1, 2005 to
    December&nbsp;31, 2006 are included in the basic net income
    (loss) per share, as adjusted, computation as they vest on a
    weighted-average outstanding share basis starting on
    February&nbsp;11, 2005. The 33,925,000 new shares issued in
    connection with the IPO have been reflected as being outstanding
    since February&nbsp;14, 2005, the date of the IPO, for purposes
    of computing the basic net income (loss) per share, as adjusted.</TD>

    The unvested shares issued to management are considered options
    for purposes of computing diluted net income (loss) per share,
    as adjusted. Therefore, for diluted purposes, all remaining
    unvested shares granted to management are added to the
    denominator subsequent to February&nbsp;11, 2005 using the
    treasury stock method, if the effect is dilutive. In addition,
    the treasury stock method is used for outstanding stock options,
    if dilutive, beginning with the November&nbsp;10, 2004 grant of
    options to management to purchase units in Alpha Coal Management
    that were automatically converted into options to purchase up to
    596,985&nbsp;shares of our common stock at an exercise price of

    EBITDA, a measure used by management to measure operating
    performance, is defined as net income (loss) plus interest
    expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation,
    depletion, and amortization, less interest income. We have
    presented EBITDA because our management believes that it is
    frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other
    interested parties in the evaluation of coal companies. We
    regularly evaluate our performance as compared to other coal
    companies that have different financing and capital structures
    and/or tax rates by using EBITDA. We believe that EBITDA allows
    for meaningful company-to-company performance comparisons by
    adjusting for factors such as interest expense, depreciation,
    depletion, amortization and taxes, which can vary from company
    to company. In addition, we use EBITDA in evaluating acquisition
    targets. EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not
    purport to be an alternative to net income, operating income or
    any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP
    or an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a
    measure of operating liquidity. Because not all companies use
    identical calculations, this presentation of EBITDA may not be
    comparable to other similarly titled measures of other
    companies. Additionally, EBITDA is not intended to be a measure
    of free cash flow for management&#146;s discretionary use, as it
    does not reflect certain cash requirements such as tax payments,
    interest payments and other debt service requirements. The
    amounts presented for EBITDA differ from the amounts calculated
    under the definition of EBITDA used in our debt covenants. The
    definition of EBITDA used in our debt covenants is further
    adjusted for certain cash and non-cash charges and is used to
    determine compliance with financial covenants and our ability to
    engage in certain activities such as incurring debt and making
    certain payments. Adjusted EBITDA as it is used and defined in
    our debt covenants is described and reconciled to net income
    (loss) in &#147;Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis of
    Financial Condition and Results of Operations&nbsp;&#151;
    Analysis of Material Debt Covenants.&#148;</TD>

    EBITDA, a measure used by management to measure operating
    performance, is defined as net income (loss) plus interest
    expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation,
    depletion, and amortization, less interest income. We have
    presented EBITDA because our management believes that it is
    frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other
    interested parties in the evaluation of coal companies. We
    regularly evaluate our performance as compared to other coal
    companies that have different financing and capital structures
    and/or tax rates by using EBITDA. We believe that EBITDA allows
    for meaningful company-to-company performance comparisons by
    adjusting for factors such as interest expense, depreciation,
    depletion, amortization and taxes, which can vary from company
    to company. In addition, we use EBITDA in evaluating acquisition
    targets. EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not
    purport to be an alternative to net income, operating income or
    any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP
    or an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a
    measure of operating liquidity. Because not all companies use
    identical calculations, this presentation of EBITDA may not be
    comparable to other similarly titled measures of other
    companies. Additionally, EBITDA is not intended to be a measure
    of free cash flow for management&#146;s discretionary use, as it
    does not reflect certain cash requirements such as tax payments,
    interest payments and other debt service requirements.</TD>

If any of these conditions or events occur in the future at any
of our mines or affect deliveries of our coal to customers, they
may increase our cost of mining and delay or halt production at
particular mines or sales to our customers either permanently or
for varying lengths of time, which could adversely affect our
operating results. For example, in 2004 we experienced mine roof
stability issues at our Kingwood underground mine, which
resulted in a 23% decrease in production at this mine for 2004
as compared to 2003 full-year production (including production
in 2003 prior to our acquisition of the mine). In addition,
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, which struck the Gulf Coast in
August and September 2005, has resulted in delayed shipments of
our coal to our customers, and Hurricane Katrina also damaged a
portion of 330,000 tons of metallurgical coal inventory that we
had stockpiled in New Orleans to meet 2005 sales commitments.

Steam coal accounted for approximately 58% of our coal sales
volume during the first six months of 2005 and approximately 63%
of our 2004 coal sales volume. The majority of our sales of
steam coal for the first six months of 2005 and for 2004 was to
U.S. and Canadian electric power generators. Domestic electric
power generation accounted for approximately 92% of all
U.S.&nbsp;coal consumption in 2004, according to the EIA. The
amount of coal consumed for U.S. and Canadian electric power
generation is affected primarily by the overall demand for
electricity, the location, availability, quality and price of
competing fuels for power such as natural gas, nuclear, fuel oil
and alternative energy sources such as hydroelectric power,
technological developments, and environmental and other
governmental regulations. We expect many new power plants will
be built to produce electricity during peak periods of demand,
when the demand for electricity rises above the &#147;base load
demand,&#148; or minimum amount of electricity required if
consumption occurred at a steady rate. However, we also expect
that many of these new power plants will be fired by natural gas
because they are cheaper to construct than coal-fired plants and
because natural gas is a cleaner burning fuel. In addition, the
increasingly stringent requirements of the Clean Air Act may
result in more electric power generators shifting from coal to
natural gas-fired power plants. Any reduction in the amount of
coal consumed by North American electric power generators could
reduce the price of steam coal that we mine and sell, thereby
reducing our revenues and adversely impacting our earnings and
the value of our coal reserves.

We produce metallurgical coal that is used in both the U.S. and
foreign steel industries. Metallurgical coal represented
approximately 37% of our 2004 coal sales volume. In recent
years, U.S.&nbsp;steel producers have experienced a substantial
decline in the prices received for their products, due at least
in part to a heavy volume of foreign steel imported into the
United States. Although prices for some U.S.&nbsp;steel products
increased moderately after the Bush administration imposed steel
import tariffs and quotas in March 2002, those tariffs and
quotas were lifted in December 2003. Furthermore, recent reports
indicate that U.S.&nbsp;steel imports fell in August 2005, which
may be a leading indicator of declining demand in the
U.S.&nbsp;steel industry generally. Any deterioration in
conditions in the U.S.&nbsp;steel industry would reduce the
demand for our metallurgical coal and impact the collectibility
of our accounts receivable from U.S.&nbsp;steel industry
customers. In addition, the U.S.&nbsp;steel industry
increasingly relies on electric arc furnaces or pulverized coal
processes to make steel. These processes do not use coke. If
this trend continues, the amount of metallurgical coal that we
sell and the prices that we receive for it could decrease,
thereby reducing our revenues and adversely impacting our
earnings and the value of our coal reserves.

Portions of our coal reserves possess quality characteristics
that enable us to mine, process and market them as either
metallurgical coal or high quality steam coal, depending on the
prevailing conditions in the metallurgical and steam coal
markets. We decide whether to mine, process and market these
coals as metallurgical or steam coal based on management&#146;s
assessment as to which market is likely to provide us with a
higher margin. We consider a number of factors when making this
assessment, including the difference between the current and
anticipated future market prices of steam coal and metallurgical
coal, the lower volume of saleable tons that results from
producing a given quantity of reserves for sale in the
metallurgical market instead of the steam market, the increased
costs incurred in producing coal for sale in the metallurgical
market instead of the steam market, the likelihood of being able
to secure a longer-term sales commitment by selling coal into
the steam market and our contractual commitments to deliver
different types of coals to our customers. During 2004, we
believe that we sold approximately 8% of our produced and
processed coal as metallurgical coal that we would have sold as
steam coal in the market conditions prevalent during 2003. We
believe that we generated approximately $65.0&nbsp;million in
additional revenues by selling this production as metallurgical
coal rather than steam coal during 2004, based on a comparison
of the actual sales price and volume versus the then-prevailing
market price for steam coal and the volume of coal that we would
have sold if the coal had been mined, processed and marketed as
steam coal. A decline in the metallurgical market relative to
the steam market could cause us to shift coal from the
metallurgical market to the steam market, thereby reducing our
revenues and profitability.

Most of our metallurgical coal reserves possess quality
characteristics that enable us to mine, process and market them
as high quality steam coal. However, some of our mines operate
profitably only if all or a portion of their production is sold
as metallurgical coal to the steel market. If demand for
metallurgical coal declined to the point where we could earn a
more attractive return marketing the coal as steam coal, these
mines may not be economically viable and may be subject to
closure. Such closures would lead to accelerated reclamation
costs, as well as reduced revenue and profitability.

require us to incur indebtedness, seek equity capital or both.
For instance, in connection with the Nicewonder Acquisition, we
will issue $221.0&nbsp;million principal amount of promissory
installment notes of one of our indirect, wholly owned
subsidiaries, and we will issue a number of shares of our common
stock having a fair market value of approximately
$60.0&nbsp;million based on the weighted average trading price
of our common stock during the 20-day trading period immediately
prior to the closing, subject to certain adjustments. In
addition, future acquisitions could result in our assuming more
long-term liabilities relative to the value of the acquired
assets than we have assumed in our previous acquisitions.

highway in West Virginia over the next six years and, in
exchange NCI will be compensated by West Virginia based on the
number of cubic yards of material excavated and/or filled to
create a road bed, as well as for certain other cost components.
In the course of the road construction, NCI will recover any
coal encountered and sell the coal to its customers, subject to
certain costs including coal loading, transportation, coal
royalty payments and applicable taxes and fees.

This road construction operation is in its early stages and the
State of West Virginia has only approved funding for the first
phases of highway construction. If West Virginia does not fund
the remaining sections of the highway project, it would
adversely affect NCI&#146;s earnings. Even if West Virginia
funds the remainder of this project through the next six years,
we are uncertain whether the state will fund any similar
projects in the future. In addition, we have no current
experience conducting and completing these road projects and
will rely on the expertise of the existing employees of NCI in
order to operate the project profitably. Furthermore, litigation
has been filed against NCI and the State of West Virginia
claiming that the project violated competitive bidding and
prevailing wage laws and regulations. If successful, the
litigation could make the project considerably less advantageous
to NCI or restrict or prohibit NCI from completing the project.

Our largest customer during 2004 accounted for approximately 8%
of our total revenues. We derived approximately 39% of our 2004
total revenues from sales to our ten largest customers. The
sales of the Nicewonder Coal Group are highly concentrated, with
approximately 78% of the Nicewonder Coal Group&#146;s coal
revenues during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 generated
from sales to three customers. On a pro forma basis as if the
Nicewonder Acquisition had occurred on January&nbsp;1, 2004, our

We sell a significant portion of our coal under long-term coal
supply agreements, which are contracts with a term greater than
12&nbsp;months. The execution of a satisfactory long-term coal
supply agreement is frequently the basis on which we undertake
the development of coal reserves required to be supplied under
the contract. We believe that approximately 73% of our 2004
sales volume was sold under long-term coal supply agreements. At
October&nbsp;6, 2005, our long-term coal supply agreements had
remaining terms of up to 12&nbsp;years and an average remaining
term of approximately two years. When our current contracts with
customers expire or are otherwise renegotiated, our customers
may decide to purchase fewer tons of coal than in the past or on
different terms, including pricing terms less favorable to us.
As of October&nbsp;6, 2005, approximately 20% of our planned
2006 production and 53% of our planned 2007 production was
uncommitted. In addition, as of October&nbsp;6, 2005,
approximately 42% of the Nicewonder Coal Group&#146;s planned
production for 2006 and approximately 86% of its planned
production for 2007 was uncommitted. We may not be able to enter
into coal supply agreements to sell this production on terms,
including pricing terms, as favorable to us as our existing
agreements. For additional information relating to our long-term
coal supply contracts, see &#147;Business&nbsp;&#151; Marketing,

short-term supply contracts. The industry shift away from
long-term supply contracts could adversely affect us and the
level of our revenues. For example, fewer electric utilities
will have a contractual obligation to purchase coal from us,
thereby increasing the risk that we will not have a market for
our production. The prices we receive in the spot market may be
less than the contractual price an electric utility is willing
to pay for a committed supply. Furthermore, spot market prices
tend to be more volatile than contractual prices, which could
result in decreased revenues.

Price adjustment, &#147;price reopener&#148; and other similar
provisions in long-term supply contracts may reduce the
protection from short-term coal price volatility traditionally
provided by these contracts. Price reopener provisions are
particularly common in international metallurgical coal sales
contracts. Some of our coal supply contracts contain provisions
that allow for the price to be renegotiated at periodic
intervals. Price reopener provisions may automatically set a new
price based on the prevailing market price or, in some
instances, require the parties to agree on a new price,
sometimes between a pre-set &#147;floor&#148; and
&#147;ceiling.&#148; In some circumstances, failure of the
parties to agree on a price under a price reopener provision can
lead to termination of the contract. Any adjustment or
renegotiation leading to a significantly lower contract price
could result in decreased revenues. Accordingly, supply
contracts with terms of one year or more may provide only
limited protection during adverse market conditions.

Coal supply agreements also typically contain force majeure
provisions allowing temporary suspension of performance by us or
the customer during the duration of specified events beyond the
control of the affected party. Most of our coal supply
agreements contain provisions requiring us to deliver coal
meeting quality thresholds for certain characteristics such as
Btu, sulfur content, ash content, grindability and ash fusion
temperature. Failure to meet these specifications could result
in economic penalties, including price adjustments, the
rejection of deliveries or termination of the contracts.
Moreover, some of our agreements where the customer bears
transportation costs permit the customer to terminate the
contract if the transportation costs borne by them increase
substantially. In addition, some of these contracts allow our
customers to terminate their contracts in the event of changes
in regulations affecting our industry that increase the price of
coal beyond specified limits.

In addition to marketing coal that is produced by our
subsidiaries&#146; employees, we utilize contractors to operate
some of our mines. Operational difficulties at
contractor-operated mines, changes in demand for contract miners
from other coal producers, and other factors beyond our control
could affect the availability, pricing, and quality of coal
produced for us by contractors. For example, during the third
quarter of 2005, production at our contractor operations was
running approximately 28% behind plan, primarily due to
shortages in the supply of labor. As a result of this shortfall,
we have been forced to purchase coal at a higher cost than
planned so that we can meet commitments to customers. To meet
customer specifications and increase efficiency in fulfillment
of coal contracts, we also purchase and resell coal produced by
third parties from their controlled reserves. The majority of
the coal that we purchase from third parties is blended with
coal produced from our mines prior to resale and we also process
(which includes washing, crushing or blending coal at one of our
preparation plants or loading facilities) a portion of the coal
that we purchase from third parties prior to resale. We sold
7.3&nbsp;million tons of coal purchased from third parties
during 2004, representing 28% of our total sales during 2004. We
believe that approximately 81% of our purchased coal sales in
2004 was blended with coal produced from our mines prior to
resale, and approximately 3% of our total sales in 2004
consisted of coal purchased from third parties that we processed
before resale. The availability of specified qualities of this
purchased coal may

consolidation in the coal industry and new laws or regulations.
Disruption in our supply of contractor-produced coal and
purchased coal could temporarily impair our ability to fill our
customers&#146; orders or require us to pay higher prices in
order to obtain the required coal from other sources. Any
increase in the prices we pay for contractor-produced coal or
purchased coal could increase our costs and therefore lower our
earnings. Although increases in market prices for coal generally
benefit us by allowing us to sell coal at higher prices, those
increases also increase our costs to acquire purchased coal,
which lowers our earnings.

We compete with numerous other coal producers in various regions
of the United States for domestic and international sales.
During the mid-1970s and early 1980s, increased demand for coal
attracted new investors to the coal industry, spurred the
development of new mines and resulted in additional production
capacity throughout the industry, all of which led to increased
competition and lower coal prices. Recent increases in coal
prices could encourage the development of expanded capacity by
new or existing coal producers. Any resulting overcapacity could
reduce coal prices and therefore reduce our revenues.

Coal with lower production costs shipped east from western coal
mines and from offshore sources has resulted in increased
competition for coal sales in the Appalachian region. In
addition, coal companies with larger mines that utilize the
long-wall mining method typically have lower mine operating
costs than we do and may be able to compete more effectively on
price, particularly if the current favorable market weakens.
This competition could result in a decrease in our market share
in this region and a decrease in our revenues.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Demand for our low sulfur coal and the prices that we can obtain
for it are also affected by, among other things, the price of
emissions allowances. Decreases in the prices of these emissions
allowances could make low sulfur coal less attractive to our
customers. In addition, more widespread installation by electric
utilities of technology that reduces sulfur emissions (which
could be accelerated by increases in the prices of emissions
allowances), may make high sulfur coal more competitive with our
low sulfur coal. This competition could adversely affect our
business and results of operations.

We also compete in international markets against coal produced
in other countries. Measured by tons sold, exports accounted for
approximately 32% of our sales in 2004. The demand for
U.S.&nbsp;coal exports is dependent upon a number of factors
outside of our control, including the overall demand for
electricity in foreign markets, currency exchange rates, the
demand for foreign-produced steel both in foreign markets and in
the U.S.&nbsp;market (which is dependent in part on tariff rates
on steel), general economic conditions in foreign countries,
technological developments, and environmental and other
governmental regulations. For example, if the value of the
U.S.&nbsp;dollar were to rise against other currencies in the
future, our coal would become relatively more expensive and less
competitive in international markets, which could reduce our
foreign sales and negatively impact our revenues and net income.
In addition, if the amount of coal exported from the United
States were to decline, this decline could cause competition
among coal producers in the United States to intensify,
potentially resulting in additional downward pressure on
domestic coal prices.

Transportation costs represent a significant portion of the
total cost of coal for our customers. Increases in
transportation costs, such as those experienced during the first
six months of 2005, could make coal a less competitive source of
energy or could make our coal production less competitive than
coal produced from other sources. On the other hand, significant
decreases in transportation costs could result in increased
competition from coal producers in other parts of the country.

Historically, high coal transportation rates from the western
coal producing areas into Central Appalachian markets limited
the use of western coal in those markets. More recently,
however, lower rail rates from the western coal producing areas
to markets served by eastern U.S.&nbsp;producers have created
major competitive challenges for eastern producers. This
increased competition could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We depend upon railroads, trucks, beltlines, ocean vessels and
barges to deliver coal to our customers. Disruption of these
transportation services due to weather-related problems,
mechanical difficulties, strikes, lockouts, bottlenecks, and
other events could temporarily impair our ability to supply coal
to our customers, resulting in decreased shipments. Certain
shipments of our coal to customers were delayed by the recent
hurricanes in the Gulf Coast. In some cases, this delay will
affect the timing of our recognition of revenue from these
sales. Decreased performance levels over longer periods of time
could cause our customers to look to other sources for their
coal needs, negatively affecting our revenues and profitability.

In 2004, 79% of our produced and processed coal volume was
transported from the preparation plant to the customer by rail.
In the last five quarters, we experienced a general
deterioration in the reliability of the service provided by rail
carriers, which increased our internal coal handling costs. If
there are continued disruptions of the transportation services
provided by the railroad companies we use and we are unable to
find alternative transportation providers to ship our coal, our
business could be adversely affected.

We have investments in mines, loading facilities, and ports that
in most cases are serviced by a single rail carrier. Our
operations that are serviced by a single rail carrier are
particularly at risk to disruptions in the transportation
services provided by that rail carrier, due to the difficulty in
arranging alternative transportation. If a single rail carrier
servicing our operations does not provide sufficient capacity,
revenue from these operations and our return on investment could
be adversely impacted.

The states of West Virginia and Kentucky have recently increased
enforcement of weight limits on coal trucks on their public
roads. It is possible that other states in which our coal is
transported by truck could undertake similar actions to increase
enforcement of weight limits. Such stricter enforcement actions
could result in shipment delays and increased costs. An increase
in transportation costs could have an adverse effect on our
ability to increase or to maintain production on a profit-making
basis and could therefore adversely affect revenues and earnings.

Our profitability depends substantially on our ability to mine
coal reserves possessing quality characteristics desired by our
customers in a cost-effective manner. As of July&nbsp;31, 2005,
we owned or leased 492.2&nbsp;million tons of proven and
probable coal reserves that we believe will support current
production levels for more than 25&nbsp;years, which is less
than the publicly reported amount of proven and probable coal
reserves and reserve lives (based on current publicly reported
production levels) of the other large publicly traded coal
companies. In addition, we anticipate that the 26.7&nbsp;million
tons of proven and probable coal reserves we will acquire in the
Nicewonder Acquisition will support the current production
levels of the Nicewonder Coal Group for only six or seven years.
We have not yet applied for the permits required, or developed
the mines necessary, to mine all of our reserves. Permits are
becoming increasingly more difficult and expensive to obtain and
the review process continues to lengthen. In addition, we may
not be able to mine all of our reserves as profitably as we do
at our current operations.

Because our reserves decline as we mine our coal, our future
success and growth depend, in part, upon our ability to acquire
additional coal reserves that are economically recoverable. If
we are unable to replace or increase our coal reserves on
acceptable terms, our production and revenues will decline as
our reserves are depleted. Exhaustion of reserves at particular
mines also may have an adverse effect on our

future also could be limited by restrictions under our existing

Forecasts of our future performance are based on, among other

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating the

reserves, including many factors beyond our control. Estimates
of economically recoverable coal reserves and net cash flows
necessarily depend upon a number of variable factors and
assumptions, any one of which may, if incorrect, result in an
estimate that varies considerably from actual results. These

The geological characteristics of Central and Northern
Appalachian coal reserves, such as depth of overburden and coal
seam thickness, make them complex and costly to mine. As mines
become depleted, replacement reserves may not be available when
required or, if available, may not be capable of being mined at
costs comparable to those characteristic of the depleting mines.
In addition, as compared to mines in other regions, permitting,
licensing and other environmental and regulatory requirements
are more costly and time consuming to satisfy. These factors
could materially adversely affect the mining operations and cost
structures of, and our customers&#146; ability to use coal
produced by, our mines in Central and Northern Appalachia.

Our ability to receive payment for coal sold and delivered

During 2004, we had $152,000 of bad debt expense. Our customer
base is changing with deregulation as utilities sell their power
plants to their non-regulated affiliates or third parties that
may be less creditworthy, thereby increasing the risk we bear on
payment default. These new power plant owners may have credit
ratings that are below investment grade. In addition,
competition with other coal suppliers could force us to extend
credit to customers and on terms that could increase the risk we
bear on payment default.

The Clean Air Act and similar state and local laws extensively
regulate the amount of sulfur dioxide, particulate matter,
nitrogen oxides, and other compounds emitted into the air from
electric power plants, which are the largest end-users of our
coal. Such regulations will require significant emissions
control expenditures for many coal-fired power plants to comply
with applicable ambient air quality standards. As a result,
these generators may switch to other fuels that generate less of
these emissions, possibly reducing future demand for coal and
the construction of coal-fired power plants.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Various new and proposed laws and regulations may require
further reductions in emissions from coal-fired utilities. For
example, under the new Clean Air Interstate Rule issued on
March&nbsp;10, 2005, the EPA will further regulate sulfur
dioxide and nitrogen oxides from coal-fired power plants. When
fully implemented, this rule is expected to reduce sulfur
dioxide emissions in affected states by over 70% and nitrogen
oxides emissions by over 60% from 2003 levels. The stringency of
this cap may require many coal-fired sources to install
additional pollution control equipment, such as wet scrubbers,
to comply. Installation of additional pollution control
equipment required by this rule could result in a decrease in
the demand for low sulfur coal (because sulfur would be removed
by the new emissions control equipment), potentially driving
down prices for low sulfur coal. In addition, under the Clean
Air Act, coal-fired power plants will be required to control
hazardous air pollution emissions by no later than 2009, which
likely will require significant new investment in
pollution-control devices by power plant operators. Further, on
March&nbsp;15, 2005, the EPA finalized the Clean Air Mercury
Rule intended to control mercury emissions from power plants,
which could require coal-fired power plants to install new
pollution controls or comply with a mandatory, declining cap on
the total mercury emissions allowed from coal-fired power plants
nationwide. These standards and future standards could have the
effect of making coal-fired plants unprofitable, thereby
decreasing demand for coal. The majority of our coal supply
agreements contain provisions that allow a purchaser to
terminate its contract if legislation is passed that either
restricts the use or type of coal permissible at the
purchaser&#146;s plant or results in specified increases in the
cost of coal or its use.

Several proposals are pending in Congress and various states
that are designed to further reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide,
nitrogen oxides and mercury from power plants, and certain ones
could regulate additional air pollutants. If such initiatives
are enacted into law, power plant operators could choose fuel
sources other than coal to meet their requirements, thereby
reducing the demand for coal.

Current and possible future governmental programs are or may be
in place to require the purchase and trading of allowances

Changes in the markets for and prices of allowances could have a

with respect to global warming. In November 2004, Russia
ratified the Kyoto Protocol to the 1992 Framework Convention on
Global Climate Change (the &#147;Protocol&#148;), which
establishes a binding set of emission targets for greenhouse
gases. With Russia&#146;s accedence, the Protocol now has
sufficient support and became binding on all those countries
that have ratified it on February&nbsp;16, 2005. Four
industrialized nations have refused to ratify the
Protocol&nbsp;&#151; Australia, Liechtenstein, Monaco, and the
United States. Although the targets vary from country to
country, if the United States were to ratify the Protocol, our
nation would be required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to
93% of 1990 levels in a series of phased reductions from 2008 to
2012. Canada, which accounted for approximately 6% of our 2004
sales volume, ratified the Protocol in 2002. Under the Protocol,
Canada will be required to cut greenhouse gas emissions to 6%
below 1990 levels in a series of phased reductions from 2008 to
2012, either in direct reductions in emissions or by obtaining
credits through the Protocol&#146;s market mechanisms. This
could result in reduced demand for coal by Canadian electric
power generators.

Future regulation of greenhouse gases in the United States could
occur pursuant to future U.S.&nbsp;treaty obligations, statutory
or regulatory changes under the Clean Air Act, or otherwise. The
Bush Administration has proposed a package of voluntary emission
reductions for greenhouse gases reduction targets which provide
for certain incentives if targets are met. Some states, such as
Massachusetts, have already issued regulations regulating
greenhouse gas emissions from large power plants. Further, in
2002, the Conference of New England Governors and Eastern
Canadian Premiers adopted a Climate Change Action Plan, calling
for reduction in regional greenhouse emissions to 1990 levels by
2010, and a further reduction of at least 10% below 1990 levels
by 2020. Increased efforts to control greenhouse gas emissions,
including the future ratification of the Protocol by the United
States, could result in reduced demand for our coal. See

Our operations currently use hazardous materials and generate
limited quantities of hazardous wastes from time to time. Our
Predecessor and acquired companies also utilized certain
hazardous materials and generated similar wastes. We may be
subject to claims under federal and state statutes and/or common
law doctrines for toxic torts, natural resource damages and
other damages as well as for the investigation and clean up of
soil, surface water, groundwater, and other media. Such claims
may arise, for example, out of current or former conditions at
sites that we own or operate currently, as well as at sites that
we or our Predecessor and acquired companies owned or operated
in the past, and at contaminated sites that have always been
owned or operated by third parties. Our liability for such
claims may be joint and several, so that we may be held
responsible for more than our share of the contamination or
other damages, or even for the entire share. We have not been
subject to claims arising out of contamination at our
facilities, and are not aware of any such contamination, but may
incur such liabilities in the future.

We maintain extensive coal slurry impoundments at a number of

Mining companies must obtain numerous permits that impose strict
regulations on various environmental and safety matters in
connection with coal mining. These include permits issued by
various federal and state agencies and regulatory bodies. The
permitting rules are complex and may change over time, making
our ability to comply with the applicable requirements more
difficult or even impossible, thereby precluding continuing or
future mining operations. Private individuals and the public
have certain rights to comment upon, submit objections to, and
otherwise engage in the permitting process, including through
court intervention. Accordingly, the permits we need may not be
issued, maintained or renewed, or may not be issued or renewed
in a timely fashion, or may involve requirements that restrict
our ability to conduct our mining operations. An inability to
conduct our mining operations pursuant to applicable permits
would reduce our production, cash flow, and profitability.

Permits under Section&nbsp;404 of the Clean Water Act are
required for coal companies to conduct dredging or filling
activities in jurisdictional waters for the purpose of creating
slurry ponds, water impoundments, refuse areas, valley fills or
other mining activities. The COE is empowered to issue
&#147;nationwide&#148; permits for specific categories of
filling activity that are determined to have minimal
environmental adverse effects in order to save the cost and time
of issuing individual permits under Section&nbsp;404. Nationwide
Permit 21 authorizes the disposal of dredge-and-fill material
from mining activities into the waters of the United States. On
October&nbsp;23, 2003, several citizens groups sued the COE in
the U.S.&nbsp;District Court for the Southern District of West
Virginia seeking to invalidate &#147;nationwide&#148; permits
utilized by the COE and the coal industry for permitting most
in-stream disturbances associated with coal mining, including
excess spoil valley fills and refuse impoundments. The
plaintiffs sought to enjoin the prospective approval of these
nationwide permits and to enjoin some coal operators from
additional use of existing nationwide permit approvals until
they obtain more detailed &#147;individual&#148; permits. On
July&nbsp;8, 2004, the court issued an order enjoining the
further issuance of Nationwide 21 permits within the Southern
District of West Virginia. Although we had no operations that
were immediately impacted or interrupted, this decision has
required us to convert certain current and planned applications
for Nationwide 21 permits to applications for individual
permits. A similar lawsuit was filed on January&nbsp;27, 2005 in
the U.S.&nbsp;District Court for the Eastern District of
Kentucky, and other lawsuits may be filed in other states where
we operate. Although it is not possible to predict the results
of the Kentucky litigation, it could adversely affect our
Kentucky operations.

Certain of our subsidiaries have entered into employment

Michael&nbsp;J. Quillen, our Chief Executive Officer, and
D.&nbsp;Scott Kroh, one of our Executive Vice Presidents. Each
of our other executive officers are employed on an at-will
basis. Unless extended, the employment agreements between
Messrs.&nbsp;Quillen and Kroh and our subsidiaries terminate on
March&nbsp;11, 2006. When the terms of these agreements expire,
we may not be able to renew or extend these employment
agreements on terms acceptable to us. In addition, the
employment agreements with Mr.&nbsp;Quillen and Mr.&nbsp;Kroh

Efficient coal mining using modern techniques and equipment
requires skilled laborers, preferably with at least a year of
experience and proficiency in multiple mining tasks. In recent
years, a shortage of trained coal miners in the Appalachian
region has caused us to operate certain units without full
staff, which decreases our productivity and increases our costs.
For example, during the third quarter of 2005, production at our
contractor operations was running approximately 28% behind plan,
primarily due to shortages in the supply of labor. If the

We are a highly leveraged company. Our financial performance
could be affected by our significant indebtedness. At
June&nbsp;30, 2005, we had approximately $262.6&nbsp;million of
indebtedness outstanding, representing 68% of our total

2012, $78.0&nbsp;million of borrowings under our revolving
credit facility that will mature in May 2009 and

$1.7&nbsp;million of capital lease obligations extending through
March 2009, $0.9&nbsp;million principal amount in variable rate
term notes maturing in April 2006 that we incurred in connection
with equipment financing and $7.0&nbsp;million payable to an
insurance premium finance company. In addition, under our credit
facility we had $53.4&nbsp;million of letters of credit
outstanding and additional borrowings available under the
revolving portion of our credit facility of $43.6&nbsp;million.

In connection with the Nicewonder Acquisition, we will refinance
all outstanding indebtedness under our existing credit facility
with a new credit facility providing for up to
$500.0&nbsp;million of borrowings, including a
$250.0&nbsp;million revolving credit facility and
$250.0&nbsp;million term loan. In addition, under the terms of
the Nicewonder Acquisition one of our indirect, wholly-owned
subsidiaries will issue $221.0&nbsp;million in promissory
installment notes, payable in two installments of
$181.1&nbsp;million one week after closing and
$39.9&nbsp;million on January&nbsp;15, 2006. We may also incur
additional indebtedness in the future. On a pro forma basis
giving effect to the Nicewonder Acquisition and 2005 Financing,
including payment of the first installment of the notes issued
to the Nicewonder Coal Group sellers, we would have had
$528.8&nbsp;million of indebtedness outstanding as of

doing so. Our credit facility provides for a revolving line of
credit of up to $125.0&nbsp;million, of which $43.6&nbsp;million
was available as of June&nbsp;30, 2005. In addition, we have
entered into a commitment letter with certain lenders related to
the 2005 Financing for a new $500.0&nbsp;million credit
facility, which would include a $250.0 term loan facility, to be
fully drawn at closing, and a $250.0 revolving credit facility.
The addition of new debt to our current debt levels, could
increase the related risks that we now face. For example, the
spread over the variable interest rate applicable to loans under
our credit facility is (and under our new credit facility will
be) dependent on our leverage ratio, and it would increase if
our leverage ratio increases. Additional drawings under our
revolving line of credit could also limit the amount available
for letters of credit in support of our bonding obligations,
which we will require as we develop and acquire new mines.

Our existing credit facility and the indenture governing our
senior notes contain a number of significant restrictions and
covenants that limit our ability and our subsidiaries&#146;
ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness or
enter into sale and leaseback transactions, pay dividends, make
redemptions and repurchases of certain capital stock, make loans
and investments, create liens, engage in transactions with
affiliates and merge or consolidate with other companies or sell
substantially all of our assets. Our new 2005 Financing credit
facility, if consummated, will contain similar restrictions and
encumbrances on assets.

These covenants could adversely affect our ability to finance
our future operations or capital needs or to execute preferred
business strategies. In addition, if we violate these covenants
and are unable to obtain waivers from our lenders, our debt
under these agreements would be in default and could be
accelerated by our lenders. If our indebtedness is accelerated,
we may not be able repay our debt or borrow sufficient funds to
refinance it. Even if we were able to obtain new financing, it
may not be on commercially reasonable terms, on terms that are
acceptable to us, or at all. If our debt is in default for any
reason, our business, financial condition and results of
operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Federal and state laws require us to obtain surety bonds to
secure payment of certain long-term obligations such as mine
closure or reclamation costs, federal and state workers&#146;
compensation costs, coal leases and other obligations. These
bonds are typically renewable annually. Surety bond issuers and
holders may not continue to renew the bonds or may demand
additional collateral or other less favorable terms upon those
renewals. The ability of surety bond issuers and holders to
demand additional collateral or other less favorable terms has
increased as the number of companies willing to issue these
bonds has decreased over time. Our failure to maintain, or our
inability to acquire, surety bonds that are required by state
and federal law would affect our ability to secure reclamation

At June&nbsp;30, 2005, we had $53.4&nbsp;million of letters of
credit in place, of which $52.5&nbsp;million serve as collateral
for reclamation surety bonds and $0.9&nbsp;million secure
miscellaneous obligations. Our existing credit facility provides
for commitments of up to $175.0&nbsp;million, consisting of a
funded letter of credit facility of up to $50.0&nbsp;million and
a $125.0&nbsp;million revolving credit facility, of which
$50.0&nbsp;million can be used to issue additional letters of
credit. As of June&nbsp;30, 2005, our entire $50.0&nbsp;million
funded letter of credit facility under the existing credit
facility has been committed and we have an additional
$3.4&nbsp;million of letters of credit outstanding under the
revolving credit facility. Our new credit facility, if
consummated, is expected to provide for commitments of up to
$500.0&nbsp;million, of which up to $250.0&nbsp;million could be
used to issue letters of credit. Upon closing of the Nicewonder
Acquisition, we expect to require an additional
$11.8&nbsp;million in letters of credit to serve as collateral
for $23.7&nbsp;million in reclamation surety bond and other
obligations we will assume in respect of the Nicewonder Coal
Group. In addition, obligations secured by letters of credit may
increase in the future. Any such increase would limit our
available borrowing capacity under our current or future credit
facilities and could negatively impact our ability to obtain
additional financing to fund future working capital, capital
expenditure or other general corporate requirements. Moreover,
if we do not maintain sufficient borrowing capacity under our
revolving credit facility for additional letters of credit, we
may be unable to obtain or renew surety bonds required for our
mining operations.

At the times that we acquired the assets of our Predecessor and
acquired companies, the Predecessor and acquired operations were
subject to long-term liabilities under a variety of benefit
plans and other arrangements with active and inactive employees.
We assumed a portion of these long-term obligations. The current
and non-current accrued portions of these long-term obligations,
as reflected in our consolidated financial statements as of
June&nbsp;30, 2005, included $20.1&nbsp;million of
postretirement medical obligations and $5.9&nbsp;million of
self-insured workers&#146; compensation obligations, and our
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at
December&nbsp;31, 2004 is $43.8&nbsp;million. These obligations
have been estimated based on assumptions that are described in
the notes to our consolidated financial statements included
elsewhere in this prospectus. However, if our assumptions are
incorrect, we could be required to expend greater amounts than
anticipated.

Several states in which we operate consider changes in
workers&#146; compensation laws from time to time, which, if
enacted, could adversely affect us. In addition, if any of the
sellers from whom we acquired our operations fail to satisfy
their indemnification obligations to us with respect to
postretirement claims and retained liabilities, then we could be
required to expend greater amounts than anticipated. See
&#147;&#151;&nbsp;The inability of the sellers of our
Predecessor and acquired companies to fulfill their
indemnification obligations to us under our acquisition
agreements could increase our liabilities and adversely affect
our results of operations.&#148; Moreover, under certain
acquisition agreements, we agreed to permit responsibility for
black lung claims related to the sellers&#146; former employees
who are employed by us for less than one year after the
acquisition to be determined in accordance with law (rather than
specifically assigned to one party or

liable as a matter of law for black lung benefits for their
former employees who work for us for less than one year;
however, an adverse ruling on this issue could increase our
exposure to black lung benefit liabilities.

Our business is seasonal, with operating results varying from
quarter to quarter. We have historically experienced lower sales
during winter months primarily due to the freezing of lakes that
we use to transport coal to some of our customers. As a result,
our first quarter cash flow and profits have been, and may
continue to be, negatively impacted. Lower than expected sales
by us during this period could have a material adverse effect on
the timing of our cash flows and therefore our ability to

As part of the Internal Restructuring, our executive officers
and certain other key employees exchanged their interests in ANR
Holdings for shares of our common stock and the right to
participate in a distribution of the proceeds received by us
from the underwriters as a result of the underwriters&#146;
exercise of their over-allotment option in connection with the
IPO. As a result, we recorded stock-based compensation expense
equal to the fair value of the vested shares issued and
distributions paid in the amount of $39.4&nbsp;million for the
six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2005. In addition, as a result of
the conversion of outstanding options held by members of our
management to purchase units of Alpha Coal Management into
options to purchase up to 596,985&nbsp;shares of our common
stock in connection with the Internal Restructuring (the
&#147;ACM Converted Options&#148;), we recorded stock-based
compensation of $0.4&nbsp;million for the first six&nbsp;months
of 2005. The aggregate amount of stock-based compensation
expense and stock-based compensation we recorded in the first
six&nbsp;months of 2005 was $39.8&nbsp;million, equal to the
$39.4&nbsp;million of expense associated with distributions paid
and the vested portions of shares issued in the Internal
Restructuring and amortization expense from the unvested
portions of shares issued in the Internal Restructuring, and
$0.4&nbsp;million of amortization expense from the ACM Converted
Options. In addition, we had deferred stock-based compensation
at June&nbsp;30, 2005 of $22.0&nbsp;million, including
$19.2&nbsp;million and $2.8&nbsp;million associated with the
unvested portions of shares issued in the Internal Restructuring
and the ACM Converted Options, respectively, that we will record
as non-cash stock-based compensation expense over the remaining
term of the applicable two-year and five-year vesting periods,
respectively. The amortization of the deferred stock-based
compensation relating to the unvested shares issued in the
Internal Restructuring and the ACM converted options over the
applicable two-year and five-year vesting periods will result in
a non-cash amortization expense in these periods, thereby
reducing our earnings in those periods.

Terrorist attacks and threats, escalation of military activity
in response to such attacks or acts of war may negatively affect
our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our business is affected by general economic conditions,
fluctuations in consumer confidence and spending, and market
liquidity, which can decline as a result of numerous factors
outside of our control, such as terrorist attacks and acts of
war. Future terrorist attacks against U.S.&nbsp;targets, rumors
or threats of war, actual conflicts involving the United States
or its allies, or military or trade disruptions affecting our
customers may materially adversely affect our operations and
those of our customers. As a result, there could be delays or
losses in transportation and deliveries of coal to our
customers, decreased sales of our coal and extension of time for
payment of accounts receivable from our customers. Strategic
targets such as energy-related assets may be at greater risk of
future terrorist attacks than other targets in the United
States. In addition, disruption or significant increases in
energy prices could result in government-imposed price controls.
It is possible that any of these occurrences, or a combination
of them, could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.

Securities markets worldwide experience significant price and
volume fluctuations. This market volatility, as well as general
economic, market or potential conditions, could reduce market
price of our common stock in spite of our operating performance.
In addition, our operating results could be below the
expectations of public market analysts and investors, and in
response, the market price of our common stock could decrease
significantly. You may be unable to resell your shares of our
common stock at or above the offering price.

As discussed under &#147;Dividend Policy,&#148; we expect to
commence a policy of paying quarterly dividends beginning in
2006. Our board of directors may, in its discretion, decrease
the level of dividends or discontinue the payment of dividends
entirely. In addition, as a holding company, we will be
dependent upon the ability of our direct and indirect
subsidiaries to generate earnings and cash flows and distribute
them to intermediate parent companies and to us so that we can
pay dividends to our stockholders, as well as our obligations
and expenses. Our subsidiaries&#146; ability to make such
distributions will be subject to their operating results, cash
requirements and financial condition, the applicable laws of the
State of Delaware (which may limit the amount of funds available
for distribution to equity interest holders), compliance with
covenants and financial ratios related to existing or future
indebtedness, and other agreements with third parties. If, as a
consequence of these various limitations and restrictions, we
are unable to generate sufficient distributions from our
business, we may not be able to make, or may have to reduce or
eliminate, the payment of dividends on our shares.

Provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation and
bylaws could impose impediments to the ability of a third party
to acquire us even if a change of control would be beneficial to
our existing shareholders. Provisions of our certificate of
incorporation and bylaws impose various procedural and other
requirements, which could make it more difficult for
stockholders to effect certain corporate actions. For example,
our certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of
directors to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions of unissued series of preferred stock, without any
vote or action by our stockholders. Thus, our board of directors
can authorize and issue shares of preferred stock with voting or
conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting or
other rights of holders of our common stock. These rights may
have the effect of delaying or deterring a change of control of
our company, and could limit the price that certain investors
might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common
stock. See &#147;Description of Capital Stock.&#148;

We expect to commence a policy of paying quarterly dividends
beginning in 2006, initially of between $.02 and $.03&nbsp;per
share, to the holders of our common stock. We would expect our
board to commence and continue this dividend policy for the
foreseeable future subject to (1)&nbsp;our results of operations
and the amount of our surplus available to be distributed,
(2)&nbsp;dividend availability and restrictions under our credit
facility and indenture, (3)&nbsp;the dividend rate being paid by
comparable companies in the coal industry, (4)&nbsp;our
liquidity needs and financial condition, (5)&nbsp;the level of
cash investments we may make in connection with potential future
acquisitions and (6)&nbsp;other factors that our board of
directors may deem relevant. Currently, the terms of our credit
facility and our senior notes restrict our ability to pay
dividends to our stockholders. We expect that the new credit
facility, when completed, would impose similar restrictions on
our ability to pay dividends. See &#147;Risk Factors&nbsp;&#151;
Our ability to pay regular dividends to our stockholders is
subject to the discretion of our board of directors and may be
limited by our holding company structure, the covenants in our
debt instruments and applicable provisions of Delaware
law,&#148; and &#147;Risk Factors&nbsp;&#151; The covenants in
our existing credit facility and the indenture governing our
senior notes impose restrictions that may limit our operating

    installment promissory notes to be issued to the sellers in the

    $60.0&nbsp;million. For purposes of the pro forma calculations,
    2.0&nbsp;million shares are assumed to be issued with an average
    share price of $30. The number of shares to be issued will be
    based on the weighted average trading price of our common stock
    during the 20-day trading period immediately prior to the
    closing. As a result the number of shares issued may change from
    the amount assumed in the pro forma presentation. Because the
    value of the shares issued will be based on the closing date for
    accounting purposes, the share price used to determine the value
    of the final consideration for accounting purposes could change

    The pro forma balance sheet reflects a pro forma adjustment to
    record a deferred tax liability of $22.0&nbsp;million due to the
    excess of financial accounting basis for the assets of the
    acquired companies over their tax basis. The pro forma balance
    sheet also reflects an adjustment to reverse previously recorded
    valuation allowance of $22.0&nbsp;million due to changes in the
    estimate of the future realizability of our existing deferred
    tax assets, which offsets the net deferred tax liability
    recorded on the acquisition. The change in the estimate of the
    future realizability of the existing deferred tax assets is
    based upon the expectation of future taxable income from the
    reversal of the acquired deferred tax liability. Upon completion
    of the Nicewonder Acquisition, we will complete a comprehensive
    analysis of the recoverability of our deferred tax assets, and
    such analysis may result in adjustments to the valuation
    allowance with an offsetting adjustment to goodwill.</TD>

have been derived from the combined financial statements of ANR
Fund&nbsp;IX Holdings, L.P. and Alpha NR Holding, Inc. and
subsidiaries and the related notes, included elsewhere in this
prospectus, which have been audited by KPMG, an independent
registered public accounting firm. The selected historical

You should read the following discussion and analysis in
conjunction with our financial statements and related notes, our
&#147;Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information,&#148; and our
&#147;Selected Historical Financial Data&#148; included
elsewhere in this prospectus. The historical financial
information discussed below for periods prior to the completion
of our Internal Restructuring on February&nbsp;11, 2005, is for
ANR Fund&nbsp;IX Holdings, L.P. and Alpha NR Holding, Inc. and
subsidiaries, which prior to the completion of our Internal
Restructuring were the owners of a majority of the membership
interests of ANR Holdings, our top-tier holding company, and for
Alpha NR Holding, Inc. and subsidiaries for periods from and
after the completion of our Internal Restructuring.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
We produce, process and sell steam and metallurgical coal from
seven regional business units, which, as of September&nbsp;15,
2005, are supported by 44 active underground mines, 20 active
surface mines and 11&nbsp;preparation plants located throughout
Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania. We also
sell coal produced by others, the majority of which we process
and/or blend with coal produced from our mines prior to resale,
providing us with a higher overall margin for the blended
product than if we had sold the coals separately. For the first
six months of June&nbsp;30, 2005 and in 2004, sales of steam
coal accounted for approximately 58% and 63%, respectively, of
our coal sales volume during such periods. Sales of
metallurgical coal, which generally sells at a premium over
steam coal, accounted for approximately 42% and 37%,
respectively, of our coal sales volume during such periods. Our
sales of steam coal during 2004 and the first six months of 2005
were made primarily to large utilities and industrial customers
in the Eastern region of the United States, and our sales of
metallurgical coal were made primarily to steel companies in the
Northeastern and Midwestern regions of the United States and in
several countries in Europe, Asia and South America.
Approximately 47% of our sales revenue in the first six months
of 2005 and in 2004 was derived from sales made outside the
United States, primarily in Japan, Canada, Brazil, Korea and
several countries in Europe.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
In addition, we generate other revenues from equipment and parts
sales, equipment repair income, rentals, royalties, commissions,
coal handling, terminal and processing fees, and coal and
environmental analysis fees. We also record revenue for freight
and handling charges incurred in delivering coal to our
customers, which we treat as being reimbursed by our customers.
However, these freight and handling revenues are offset by
equivalent freight and handling costs and do not contribute to
our profitability.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Our business is seasonal, with operating results varying from
quarter to quarter. We generally experience lower sales and
hence build coal inventory during the winter months primarily
due to the freezing of lakes that we use to transport coal to
some of our customers.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Our primary expenses are for wages and benefits, supply costs,
repair and maintenance expenditures, cost of purchased coal,
royalties, freight and handling costs, and taxes incurred in
selling our coal. Historically, our cost of coal sales per ton
is lower for sales of our produced and processed coal than for
sales of purchased coal that we do not process prior to resale.

We have one reportable segment, Coal Operations, which includes
all of our revenues and costs from coal production and sales,
freight and handling, rentals, commissions and coal handling and
processing operations. We report the revenues and costs from
rentals, commissions and coal handling and processing operations
in our other revenues and cost of other revenues, respectively.

<I>Predecessor and 2003 Acquisitions.</I> On December&nbsp;13,
2002, we acquired our Predecessor, the majority of the Virginia
coal operations of Pittston Coal Company, from The Brink&#146;s
Company (formerly known as The Pittston Company), for
$62.9&nbsp;million. On January&nbsp;31, 2003, we acquired
Coastal Coal Company for $67.8&nbsp;million. In connection with
our acquisition of Coastal Coal Company, we acquired an
overriding royalty interest in certain properties located in
Virginia and West Virginia owned by El&nbsp;Paso CPG Company for
$11.0&nbsp;million in cash. Effective February&nbsp;1, 2003, we
sold the overriding royalty interest to affiliates of Natural
Resource Partners, L.P. (&#147;NRP&#148;) for $11.8&nbsp;million
in cash. Effective April&nbsp;1, 2003, we also sold
substantially all of our fee-owned Virginia mineral properties
to NRP for approximately $53.6&nbsp;million in cash in a
sale/leaseback transaction. On March&nbsp;11, 2003, we acquired
AMCI for $121.3&nbsp;million and on November&nbsp;17, 2003, we
acquired the assets of Mears for $38.0&nbsp;million in cash. We
refer to the acquisitions of Coastal Coal Company, AMCI and
Mears, collectively, as the &#147;2003 Acquisitions.&#148;

<I>Internal Restructuring and Our Initial Public Offering.</I>
On February&nbsp;11, 2005, we completed a series of transactions
in connection with the Internal Restructuring for the purpose of
transitioning our top-tier holding company from a limited
liability company to a corporation, and on February&nbsp;18,
2005, we completed the initial public offering of our common
stock. Further information regarding our Internal Restructuring
and our initial public offering can be found in note&nbsp;1 to
our combined financial statements included in this prospectus.
As a result of our initial public offering and our Internal
Restructuring, we have incurred during the period after the
initial public offering and Internal Restructuring and will
continue to incur additional expenses that we have not incurred
in prior periods, including expenses associated with compliance
with corporate governance and periodic financial reporting
requirements for public companies. Moreover, all of our income
is now subject to income tax and therefore the effective tax
rates reflected in our financial statements for periods prior to
the Internal Restructuring are not indicative of our effective
tax rates after our Internal Restructuring.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
As part of our Internal Restructuring, our executive officers
and certain other key employees exchanged their interests in ANR
Holdings for shares of our common stock and the right to
participate in a distribution of the proceeds we received from
the underwriters as a result of the underwriters&#146; exercise
of their over-allotment option in connection with the initial
public offering. As a result, we recorded stock-based
compensation expense equal to the fair value of the unrestricted
shares issued and distributions paid in the amount of
$39.4&nbsp;million for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2005.
In addition, as a result of the conversion of outstanding
options held by members of our management to purchase units of
Alpha Coal Management into the ACM Converted Options, we
recorded stock-based compensation of $0.4&nbsp;million in the
first six months of 2005. The aggregate amount of stock-based
compensation expense and stock-based compensation we recorded in
the first six months of 2005 was $39.8&nbsp;million, equal to
the $39.4&nbsp;million of expense associated with distributions
paid and the vested portions of shares issued in the Internal
Restructuring and amortization expense from the unvested
portions of shares issued in the Internal Restructuring, and
$0.4&nbsp;million of amortization expense from the ACM Converted
Options. In addition, we had deferred stock-based compensation
at June&nbsp;30, 2005 of $22.0&nbsp;million, including
$19.2&nbsp;million and $2.8&nbsp;million related to our Internal
Restructuring and the ACM Converted Options, respectively, that
we will record as non-cash stock-based compensation expense over
the remaining term of the applicable two-year and five-year
vesting periods, respectively, thereby reducing our earnings in
those periods.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
In connection with our Internal Restructuring, we assumed the
obligation of ANR Holdings to make distributions to
(1)&nbsp;affiliates of AMCI in an aggregate amount of
$6.0&nbsp;million, representing the approximate incremental tax
resulting from the recognition of additional tax liability
resulting from our Internal Restructuring, and (2)&nbsp;First
Reserve Fund&nbsp;IX, L.P. in an aggregate amount of
approximately $4.5&nbsp;million, representing the approximate
value of tax attributes conveyed as a result of the Internal
Restructuring (collectively, the &#147;Tax Distributions&#148;).
The Tax Distributions to affiliates of AMCI are payable in five
equal installments on the dates for which estimated income tax
payments are due in each of April 2005, June 2005, September
2005, January 2006 and April 2006. The first three of these
payments were made on April&nbsp;15, 2005, June&nbsp;15, 2005,
and September&nbsp;15, 2005, in the amount of $1.2&nbsp;million
each in cash. The Tax Distributions to First Reserve
Fund&nbsp;IX, L.P. will be paid in three installments of
approximately $2.1&nbsp;million, $2.1&nbsp;million and
$0.3&nbsp;million on December&nbsp;15, 2007, 2008 and 2009,
respectively. We will pay the Tax Distributions in cash or, to
the extent our subsidiaries are not permitted by the terms of
our credit facility or the indenture governing our senior notes
to distribute cash to us to pay the Tax Distributions, in shares
of our common stock.

<I>NKC Disposition.</I> On April&nbsp;14, 2005, we sold the
assets of NKC to an unrelated third party for cash in the amount
of $4.4&nbsp;million, plus an amount in cash equal to the fair
market value of NKC&#146;s coal inventory, and the assumption by
the buyer of certain liabilities of NKC. For the six months
ended June&nbsp;30, 2005, NKC contributed revenues of
$4.5&nbsp;million, an after-tax and minority interest loss of
$0.2&nbsp;million on 0.1&nbsp;million tons of steam coal sold.
In connection with the closing of the transaction, National King
Coal, LLC was renamed NatCoal LLC, and Gallup Transportation and
Transloading Company, LLC was renamed GTTC LLC. Giving effect to
this disposition as if it had occurred on January&nbsp;1, 2005,
our revenues would have been reduced by $4.5&nbsp;million and
our net income would have increased by $0.2&nbsp;million. We
recorded a gain on this sale of $0.7&nbsp;million and are
reporting NKC as discontinued operations for all periods
presented herein. Our historical financial statements have been
restated to report the disposition of NKC as discontinued
operations and the components of the operating results included
in discontinued operations are shown in footnote&nbsp;30 to our
consolidated financial statements and footnote&nbsp;11 to our
condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere
in this prospectus.

<I>Nicewonder Acquisition and 2005 Financing.</I> On
September&nbsp;23, 2005, we entered into agreements to acquire
certain privately held coal reserves and operations of the

Virginia. Pursuant to the agreements and subject to the
satisfaction or waiver of the conditions therein, we have agreed
to purchase the outstanding capital stock of White Flame Energy,
Inc., Twin Star Mining, Inc. and Nicewonder Contracting, Inc.,
the equity interests of Powers Shop, LLC and Buchanan Energy,
LLC and substantially all of the assets of Mate Creek Energy of
W. Va., Inc. and Virginia Energy Company, and the business of
Premium Energy, Inc. We have agreed to pay an aggregate purchase
price of $316.2&nbsp;million for the Nicewonder Coal Group,
including $35.2&nbsp;million in cash, $221.0&nbsp;million in
promissory installment notes of one of our indirect, wholly
owned subsidiaries, and the issuance a number of shares of our
common stock having a fair market value of approximately
$60.0&nbsp;million, based on the weighted average trading price
of our common stock during the 20-day trading period immediately
prior to the closing, subject to certain adjustments. The
purchase price is subject to certain working capital and other
adjustments. Closing of the Nicewonder Acquisition is
anticipated to occur in late October 2005 and is subject to
certain conditions set forth in the acquisition agreements,
including securing financing, receiving necessary regulatory
approvals, entering into definitive agreements with certain
customers of the Nicewonder Coal Group, receiving certain third
party consents and other customary conditions.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Also on September&nbsp;23, 2005, in connection with our planned
acquisition of the Nicewonder Coal Group, we entered into a
commitment letter with certain lenders with respect to the 2005
Financing, a new $500.0&nbsp;million credit facility consisting
of a $250.0 term loan facility and a $250.0 revolving credit
facility. We plan to use the net proceeds of the term loan
facility and a portion of the proceeds from drawings under the
revolving credit facility to finance the Nicewonder Acquisition
and to refinance our existing $175.0&nbsp;million credit
facility. The closing of the 2005 Financing is subject to the
closing of the Nicewonder Acquisition and other customary
conditions.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
As a result of the Nicewonder Acquisition, based on our
preliminary estimates of the fair values and lives assigned to
the assets and liabilities acquired we expect to record
approximately $7.5&nbsp;million of goodwill which will be
subject to annual impairment testing, and approximately
$306.2&nbsp;million of property plant and equipment and
intangibles that will be depreciated over the useful life of the
assets, resulting in approximately $51.0&nbsp;million of
additional depreciation, depletion and amortization expense per
year for the approximately five-year average useful life of the
property, plant and equipment and intangibles. After the closing
of the acquisition, we will complete an evaluation of the fair
values and the lives of the assets. Fair value adjustments
reflected in the pro forma financial statements included in our
&#147;Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information&#148; elsewhere
in this prospectus may be subject to material revisions and
adjustments pending finalization of the evaluation. We expect
that our average cost of coal sales per ton including the
Nicewonder Coal Group operations will be lower than it would be
without the Nicewonder Coal Group operations, because all of the
Nicewonder Coal Group mining operations are surface mines, which
historically have a lower cost of coal sales per ton than
underground mining operations. We also expect that our average
coal sales realization per ton including the Nicewonder Coal
Group operations will be lower than it would be without the
Nicewonder Coal Group operations, because our existing
operations market a higher percentage of our produced tons as
higher-priced metallurgical coal than the Nicewonder Coal Group
operations. As a result of the Nicewonder Acquisition and the
2005 Financing, we expect to incur additional debt and to incur
increased interest expense. If the Nicewonder Acquisition and
2005 Financing had occurred on January&nbsp;1, 2004, we would
have incurred additional interest expense of $13.6&nbsp;million
and $6.0&nbsp;million during the year ended December&nbsp;31,
2004 and the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2005, respectively.
</DIV>

On a pro forma basis as if the 2004 Financings, Internal
Restructuring, IPO and the anticipated Nicewonder Acquisition
and 2005 Financing had each occurred on January&nbsp;1, 2004,
our revenues would have been $1,397.3&nbsp;million and
$828.0&nbsp;million and our income from continuing operations
would have been $15.8&nbsp;million and $3.5&nbsp;million,
respectively, for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 and the
six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2005.

<I>Coal Pricing Trends and Uncertainties.</I> During 2004 and
the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2005, prices for our coal
increased significantly due to a combination of conditions in
the United States and internationally, including an improving
U.S.&nbsp;economy and robust economic growth in Asia, relatively
low customer stockpiles, limited availability of high-quality
coal from competing producers in Central Appalachia, capacity
constraints of U.S.&nbsp;nuclear-powered electricity generators,
high current and forward prices for natural gas and oil, and
increased international demand for U.S.&nbsp;coal. This strong
coal pricing environment has contributed to our growth in
revenues during 2004 and the six months ended June&nbsp;30,
2005. While our outlook on coal pricing remains positive as
noted below under &#147;&#151;&nbsp;Outlook,&#148; future coal
prices are subject to factors beyond our control and we cannot
predict whether and for how long this strong coal pricing
environment will continue. As of October&nbsp;6, 2005,
approximately 20% of our planned 2006 production, 42% of the
Nicewonder Coal Group&#146;s planned 2006 production, 53% of our
planned 2007 production and 86% of the Nicewonder Coal
Group&#146;s planned production for 2007 was

uncommitted and was not yet priced. For the tons for which we
have firm commitments in 2006, the average price for steam coal
is $44.87&nbsp;per ton and the average price for metallurgical
coal is $72.96&nbsp;per ton.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
During 2004 and the first six months of 2005, we experienced
increased costs for purchased coal which have risen with coal
prices generally, and increased operating costs for steel
manufactured equipment and supplies, employee wages and salaries
and contract mining and trucking. We also experienced
disruptions in railroad service during the second half of 2004
and the first six months of 2005, which caused delays in
delivering products to customers and increased our internal coal
handling costs at our operations. We currently expect
disruptions in railroad service to continue through the second
half of 2005. Conditions affecting railroad service are subject
to factors beyond our control and we cannot predict whether and
for how long these railroad-related costs will continue to
increase in the future.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
We experienced a tight market for supplies of mining and
processing equipment and parts during 2004 and the first six
months of 2005, due to increased demand by coal producers
attempting to increase production in response to the strong
market demand for coal. Although we are attempting to obtain
adequate supplies of mining and processing equipment and parts
to meet our production forecasts, continued limited availability
of equipment and parts could prevent us from meeting those
forecasts. The supply of mining and processing equipment and
parts is subject to factors beyond our control and we cannot
predict whether and for how long this supply market will remain
limited.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
We are also experiencing a tight market for skilled mining
employees, due to increased demand by coal producers attempting
to increase production in response to the strong market demand
for coal, and demographic changes as existing miners in
Appalachia retire at a faster rate than new miners are added to
the Appalachian mining workforce. Although we have initiated
training programs to create new skilled miners and raise the
skill levels of existing miners, continued limited availability
of skilled miners could prevent us from being able to meet our
production and sales forecasts. The supply of skilled mining
employees is subject to factors beyond our control and we cannot
predict whether and for how long this employee market will
remain limited.

In January 2005, the state of West Virginia passed legislation
to increase the severance tax on coal by $0.56&nbsp;per ton
effective December&nbsp;1, 2005. The estimated impact for this
increased severance tax in 2005 is approximately
$0.3&nbsp;million and we estimate an annual impact beginning in
2006 of approximately $4.0&nbsp;million based on current
operating levels. A portion of this increase may be recoupable
from customers based on allowances in some sales contracts for
changes in laws.

The U.S.&nbsp;dollar has weakened over the last two years, which
has made U.S.&nbsp;coal relatively less expensive and,
therefore, more competitive in foreign markets. We believe that
the weakening of the U.S.&nbsp;dollar has enabled us to export
more metallurgical coal at higher prices than would otherwise
have been the case during 2003 and 2004, and that this trend
contributed to our growth in revenues during those periods. The
U.S.&nbsp;dollar has strengthened against most major currencies
since the beginning of 2005, and we believe that a sustained
strengthening of the U.S.&nbsp;dollar would adversely affect our
exports. Changes in currency conversion rates are subject to
factors beyond our control and we cannot predict whether and for
how long the dollar will weaken or strengthen against foreign
currencies during any particular period. We believe that a
strengthening of the U.S.&nbsp;dollar would adversely affect our
exports.

While our business is subject to the general risks of the coal
industry and specific individual risks, we believe that the
outlook for coal markets remains positive worldwide, assuming
continued growth in the U.S., China, Pacific Rim, Europe and
other industrialized economies that are increasing coal demand
for electricity generation and steelmaking. Published indices
show improved year-over-year coal prices in most U.S. and global
coal markets, and worldwide coal supply/demand fundamentals
remain tight due to high market demand, transportation
constraints and production difficulties in most countries.
Metallurgical coal is generally selling at a significant premium
to steam coal, and we expect that pricing relationship to
continue based on the same assumptions made above.

For 2005, we are targeting annual production of 20&nbsp;million
to 22&nbsp;million tons and total sales volume of
25&nbsp;million to 26&nbsp;million tons, including
post-acquisition production and sales by the Nicewonder Coal
Group operations in 2005. As of October&nbsp;6, 2005,
approximately 20% of our planned 2006 production, 42% of the
Nicewonder Coal Group&#146;s planned 2006

We have sales commitments with utilities for approximately
5.0&nbsp;million tons of coal that we believe are priced well
below market and are expected to be re-priced this year and
next. We are currently engaged in negotiations with these
utilities and we currently expect to have about 2.5&nbsp;million
tons that will be re-priced in 2006 at current market prices.
However, the utilities are not required to renew their contracts
with us at higher prices or at all, and we cannot be certain
that we will be able to renew these contracts at higher prices,
or at all, within the time period specified above.

We anticipate continued challenges with railroad service

in a timely manner.

Based on current market conditions in the steam and
metallurgical coal markets, we anticipate increasing the
proportion of our metallurgical coal sales that are committed
under long-term contracts as compared to prior years and
continuing to market portions of our high quality steam coal
production as metallurgical coal. We plan to focus on organic
growth by continuing to develop our existing reserves. In
addition, we also plan to evaluate attractively priced
acquisitions that create potential synergies with our existing
operations.

For purposes of the following discussion and analysis of our
operating results, the revenues and costs and expenses of ANR
Fund&nbsp;IX Holdings, L.P. and Alpha NR Holding, Inc. and
subsidiaries for the period from December&nbsp;14, 2002 to
December&nbsp;31, 2002 have been combined with the revenues and
costs and expenses of our Predecessor for the period from
January&nbsp;1, 2002 to December&nbsp;13, 2002, as reflected in
the table below. We believe this presentation facilitates the
ability of the reader to more meaningfully compare our revenues,
costs and expenses in 2002 with other periods. Our operating
results from and after December&nbsp;14, 2002, including our
recorded depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, are
not comparable to the Predecessor Periods as a result of the
application of purchase accounting. The combining of the
Predecessor and successor accounting periods in the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2002 is not permitted by U.S.&nbsp;generally
accepted accounting principles.

For the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2005, our total revenues
were $729.8&nbsp;million compared to $582.6&nbsp;million for the
six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2004, an increase of
$147.2&nbsp;million. Net income decreased from
$13.5&nbsp;million in the 2004 period to $0.6&nbsp;million for
the 2005 period. Included in net income for the six months ended
June&nbsp;30, 2005 was a stock-based compensation charge in the
amount of $39.8&nbsp;million ($38.0&nbsp;million after-tax) and
gains associated with the settlement of a funded reclamation
bonding program in the first quarter of 2005 and the sale of NKC
totaling $2.5&nbsp;million ($1.8&nbsp;million after-tax).
EBITDA, as adjusted and as reconciled to our net income or loss
in the table above, was $56.8&nbsp;million in the first half of
2005, including the non-cash portion of the stock-based
compensation charge in the amount of $32.3&nbsp;million

pro forma earnings per diluted share were $0.04 for the first
half 2005, a $0.28&nbsp;per share decrease over pro forma
earnings per share for the 2004 period (see footnote&nbsp;2 in

We sold 12.2&nbsp;million tons of coal during the first half of

Coal margin increased from 17.2% in 2004 to 18.4% in 2005. Coal

<I>Coal Revenues.</I> Coal revenues increased by
$131.4&nbsp;million during the six months ended June&nbsp;30,
2005 over the comparable period of 2004, or 26%, mainly driven
by a 30% increase in coal sales realization per ton from
$40.21&nbsp;per ton in the first half of 2004 to $52.13&nbsp;per
ton in the comparable 2005 period. Our met coal realization
increased from $55.27&nbsp;per ton in the six months ended
June&nbsp;30, 2004, to $70.37&nbsp;per ton in the 2005 six month
period, or 27%, and steam coal realization per ton increased
from $31.01 to $39.01 or 26%. Met coal sales accounted for 42%
of our coal sales volume in the six months ended June&nbsp;30,
2005 compared to 38% in the year ago period. Total tons sold
during the first half of 2005 were 12.2&nbsp;million, including
5.1&nbsp;million tons of met coal and 7.1&nbsp;million of steam
coal. Sales for the comparable period last year were
12.6&nbsp;million tons of which 4.8&nbsp;million were met coal
and 7.8&nbsp;million were steam coal. This change in the mix of
met and steam coal tons sold reflects our ability to interchange
certain coals as part of our effort to maximize realizations and
coal margins.

<I>Freight and Handling Revenues.</I> Freight and handling
revenues increased by $14.7&nbsp;million during the six months
ended June&nbsp;30, 2005 over the year ago period mainly due to
higher freight rates. However, these revenues are offset by
equivalent costs and do not contribute to our profitability.

<I>Other Revenues.</I> Other revenues increased by
$1.1&nbsp;million during the first half of this year from the
corresponding period last year mainly due to higher revenues
from third party coal processing fees that were partially offset
by a decrease in revenues associated with coal sales commissions.

<I>Cost of Coal Sales:</I> Our cost of coal sales increased by
$101.2&nbsp;million, or $9.24&nbsp;per ton, from
$418.6&nbsp;million, or $33.28&nbsp;per ton, in the six months
ended June&nbsp;30, 2004 to $519.8&nbsp;million, or
$42.52&nbsp;per ton, in the 2005 comparable period. Our cost of
sales per ton of our produced and processed coal was
$38.78&nbsp;per ton in the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2005
as compared to $31.12&nbsp;per ton in the comparable period in
2004. This increase is attributable to increased costs for
steel-related mine supplies, added preparation costs and lower
yields involved in increasing the proportion of our sales made
to the metallurgical markets, higher trucking costs, and
increased variable sales-related costs, such as royalties and
severance taxes. Also, our cost for contract miner services and
coal purchased and processed at our facilities increased 31% in
the current period as compared to the prior year period. The
cost of sales per ton of our purchased coal was $58.09&nbsp;per
ton in the first half of 2005, and $40.43&nbsp;per ton for the
corresponding period of 2004. This $17.66&nbsp;per ton increase
in costs is due to the general increase in coal prices since
last year and the change in the mix of coal qualities purchased.
Of these purchased tons approximately 65% was blended with our
produced and processed tons prior to resale.

<I>Freight and Handling Costs.</I> Freight and handling costs
increased by $14.7&nbsp;million during the six months ended
June&nbsp;30, 2005 over the year ago period due to higher
freight rates. We paid these freight and handling costs which we
treat as being reimbursed by our customers. These costs are
offset by an equivalent amount of freight and handling revenues.

<I>Cost of Other Revenues.</I> Our cost of other revenues
increased by 25% or $2.0&nbsp;million in the first half of 2005
when compared to the similar period in 2004 due to higher coal
processing costs due to increased volumes. The margin (other
revenues less cost of other revenues) on other revenues
decreased by $1.0&nbsp;million in the first half of 2005 when
compared to the first six months of 2004 due mainly to the
decrease in sales commission revenues discussed above.

<I>Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization.</I> DD&#38;A
increased $4.6&nbsp;million, or 18%, to $29.2&nbsp;million for
the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2005 as compared to the same
period in 2004 due mainly to capital additions. DD&#38;A per ton
of produced and processed coal sold increased from
$2.56&nbsp;per ton for the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2004
to $2.97&nbsp;per ton in the same period of 2005.

<I>Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.</I> Our
SG&#38;A expenses increased by $37.1&nbsp;million during the
first six months of 2005 over the corresponding period last
year. Excluding our stock-based compensation charge of
$39.8&nbsp;million incurred in the first half of 2005, these
costs decreased in the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2005 by
$2.7&nbsp;million from the comparable period last year. Included
in the first six months of 2004 expenses were incentive bonuses

<I>Interest Expense.</I> Interest expense increased from
$8.8&nbsp;million to $12.8&nbsp;million during the

period in 2004. A charge related to the write-off of
$2.8&nbsp;million of the unamortized portion of deferred loan
costs associated with our prior credit facility in the 2004
period was more than offset by the additional interest expense
we incurred on our 10%&nbsp;senior notes in the 2005 period.

<I>Interest Income.</I> Interest income increased by
$0.4&nbsp;million in the six&nbsp;months ended June&nbsp;30,
2005 over the six&nbsp;months ended June&nbsp;30, 2004. This
increase was attributable to our $10.0&nbsp;million loan to a
coal supplier which we made in June 2004.

<I>Income Tax Expense:</I> Our provision for income taxes
related to continuing operations increased by $8.1&nbsp;million
from $3.5&nbsp;million in the prior year&#146;s first half to
$11.6&nbsp;million in this year&#146;s first six&nbsp;months.
Because the condensed consolidated statements of operations for
the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2005 include activity both
prior to and after the Internal Restructuring and IPO, the total
income tax provision is the sum of the provisions for the pre-
and post-restructuring periods.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Prior to February&nbsp;12, 2005, the minority interest owners
and ANR Fund&nbsp;IX Holdings, L.P. owned interests in ANR
Holdings, a limited liability company and pass-through entity
for income tax purposes. As a pass-through entity, ANR Holdings
provides information returns reflecting the allocated income
(loss) to the minority interest owners and ANR Fund&nbsp;IX
Holdings, L.P based upon their respective ownership percentage
and certain special allocations as provided by the limited
liability company agreement and the Internal Revenue Code. The
income tax consequences of the income (loss) allocated to these
owners for the period from January&nbsp;1, 2005 to
February&nbsp;11, 2005 and from January&nbsp;1, 2004 to
June&nbsp;30, 2004 is not reflected in the financial statements.
For these periods, only the income tax expense associated with
Alpha NR Holding, Inc., a taxable entity, is included. The
primary source of the income tax impact is derived from the
allocated income (loss) from ANR Holdings, Alpha Natural
Resources, LLC and its operating subsidiaries, all of which are
pass-through entities for tax purposes. Subsequent to the
Internal Restructuring and IPO, all of the income of ANR
Holdings is taxed to us.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The effective tax rate of 75.7% for the first half of 2005 is
greater than the federal statutory rate of 35% due primarily to
the majority of the stock-based compensation charge associated
with the issuance of common stock to management in connection
with the Internal Restructuring and IPO not being deductible for
tax purposes. The increase in expected income tax expense
related to the stock-based compensation charge is offset in part
by the tax benefits associated with percentage depletion, the
extraterritorial income exclusion, and taxes not being provided
for on the minority interest and pass-through entity
owners&#146; respective shares for the period prior to the
Internal Restructuring. As $33.0&nbsp;million of the stock-based
compensation charge was identified as a significant unusual item
in the first quarter of 2005, the tax effect of the
$33.0&nbsp;million expense (no tax benefit) was accounted for in
that period and excluded from the estimated annual effective tax
rate of approximately 26%. The Company&#146;s effective tax rate
for the interim periods is applied to pre-tax income exclusive
of the $33.0&nbsp;million stock-based compensation charge.
Because the majority of the 2005 stock-based compensation was
recorded in the first quarter, the first half of 2005 effective
tax rate is not indicative of the effective tax rate for the
remainder of 2005. We estimate that exclusive of the stock-based
compensation charge (both the $33.0&nbsp;million significant
unusual portion and the recurring portion for the full year of
2005), our 2005 effective tax rate would be approximately 23.5%,
which is lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% due to the
benefits of percentage depletion and a combination of the
extraterritorial income exclusion and deduction for domestic
production activities enacted as part of the American Jobs
Creation Act of 2004, partially offset by state income taxes and
valuation allowances. Actual pre-tax income for the year will
have an impact on the effective tax rates just noted and
therefore our estimate of the rates may change in subsequent
quarters.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Our effective tax rate of 75.7% for the first half of 2005 is
much higher compared to the first half of 2004 rate of 11%
primarily due to the significant stock-based compensation charge
for 2005 that did not exist in 2004. In addition, the portion of
pre-tax income related to the minority interest and pass-through
entity owners not tax affected is greater in the first half of
2004, thereby reducing the effective rate more in that period of
2004 compared to the same period in 2005.

For the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2004, we recorded revenues
of $1,252.7&nbsp;million compared to $781.8&nbsp;million for the
year ended December&nbsp;31, 2003, an increase of
$470.9&nbsp;million over the previous year. Net income increased
from $2.3&nbsp;million in 2003 to $20.0&nbsp;million for 2004
and operating income increased $57.1&nbsp;million to
$69.1&nbsp;million. Tons sold increased from 21.6&nbsp;million
tons in 2003 to 25.3&nbsp;million tons in 2004 mainly due to the
impact of our 2003 Acquisitions. Coal margin, which we define as
coal revenues less cost of coal sales, divided by coal revenues,
increased from 9.8% in 2003 to 14.8% in 2004.

<I>Coal Revenues.</I> Coal revenues increased for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2004 by $385.1&nbsp;million or 55%, to
$1,079.7&nbsp;million, as compared to the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2003. This increase was due to a
$10.49&nbsp;per ton increase in the average sales price of our
coal and the sale of 3.7&nbsp;million additional tons over the
comparable period last year. The increase in the average sales
price of our coal was due to the general increase in coal prices
during the period and to our ability to take advantage of the
exceptionally high metallurgical coal sale prices by processing
and marketing as metallurgical coal some coal qualities that
would traditionally have been marketed as steam coal.
Approximately 63% and 37% of our tons sold during 2004 were
steam coal and metallurgical coal, respectively, as compared to
71% and 29% during the same period in 2003. Our tons sold in
2004 increased by 3.7&nbsp;million, or 17%, to
25.3&nbsp;million, primarily due to the effect of our 2003
Acquisitions, which provided approximately 3.4&nbsp;million
additional tons.

<I>Freight and Handling Revenues.</I> Freight and handling
revenues increased to $141.1&nbsp;million for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2004, an increase of $67.3&nbsp;million
compared to the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2003 due to an
increase of 3.4&nbsp;million tons of export shipments. However,
these revenues are offset by equivalent costs and do not
contribute to our profitability.

<I>Other Revenues.</I> Other revenues increased for the year
ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 by $18.4&nbsp;million, or 137%, to
$31.9&nbsp;million, as compared to the same period for 2003
primarily due to higher equipment and parts sales and equipment
repairs in the amount of $8.4&nbsp;million, an increase in coal
handling and processing fees of $6.1&nbsp;million, higher sales
commissions of $3.4&nbsp;million, and trucking revenue of
$0.5&nbsp;million. Other revenues for 2004 include a gain of
$1.5&nbsp;million on the partial satisfaction of an obligation
to reclaim certain properties retained by the seller in the
Pittston acquisition. Other revenues attributable to our Coal
Operations segment were $13.8&nbsp;million in 2004 and
$3.4&nbsp;million in 2003.

<I>Cost of Coal Sales.</I> For the year ended December&nbsp;31,
2004, our cost of coal sales, which excludes charges for
depreciation, depletion and amortization and includes gain/loss
on sale of fixed assets, increased $294.1&nbsp;million, or 47%,
to $920.4&nbsp;million compared to the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2003. Our cost of coal sales increased as a
result of added costs involved in increasing the proportion of
our sales made to the metallurgical markets, such as higher
preparation and trucking costs, increased prices for
steel-related mine supplies, contract mining services, higher
prices for purchased coal, and increased variable sales-related
costs, such as royalties and severance taxes. Approximately
$80.0&nbsp;million of the increase in the cost of coal sales was
due to the 2003 Acquisitions which provided approximately 87% of
our increase in tons sold. The average cost per ton sold
increased 25% from $28.98&nbsp;per ton in 2003 to
$36.34&nbsp;per ton in 2004. Our cost of coal sales as a
percentage of coal revenues decreased from 90% in 2003 to 85% in
2004. For the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 and 2003 our
average cost per ton for our produced and processed coal sales
was $33.04 and $28.34, respectively, and our average cost per
ton for coal that we purchased from third parties and resold
without processing was $45.21 and $31.91, respectively. Cost of
coal sales in 2004 included $2.0&nbsp;million of incentive bonus
payments and accruals.

<I>Freight and Handling Costs.</I> Freight and handling costs
increased $67.3&nbsp;million to $141.1&nbsp;million during 2004
as compared to 2003, mainly due to a 3.4&nbsp;million ton
increase in export shipments where we paid the freight and
handling costs which we treated as being reimbursed by the
customer. These costs were offset by an equivalent amount of
freight and handling revenue.

<I>Cost of Other Revenues.</I> Cost of other revenues increased
$10.5&nbsp;million, or 84%, to $23.0&nbsp;million for the year
ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 as compared to the prior year due
to higher volumes of equipment and part sales, equipment
repairs, and processing and handling fees. Cost of equipment
sales and repairs increased $7.3&nbsp;million and processing and
handling costs increased $2.6&nbsp;million for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2004 as compared to the prior year. The cost
of trucking revenues increased by $0.5&nbsp;million for 2004 as
compared to the prior year. Cost of other revenues attributable
to our Coal Operations segment were $7.4&nbsp;million in 2004
and $2.3&nbsp;million in 2003.

<I>Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization.</I> Depreciation,
depletion, and amortization increased $19.9&nbsp;million, or
56%, to $55.3&nbsp;million for the year ended December&nbsp;31,
2004 as compared to the same period of 2003 due to capital
additions during 2004, resulting in additional depreciation of
approximately $9.1&nbsp;million. The remaining increase is
attributable to the impact of the 2003 Acquisitions and 2003
capital additions of $27.7&nbsp;million. Depreciation, depletion
and amortization attributable to our Coal Operations segment
were $51.7&nbsp;million in 2004 and $32.5&nbsp;million 2003.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization per ton increased from
$1.64&nbsp;per ton for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2003 to
$2.18&nbsp;per ton in the same period of 2004.

<I>Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.</I> Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased
$21.9&nbsp;million, or 100%, to $43.9&nbsp;million for the year
ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 compared to the same period in
2003. The increase is attributed to higher staffing levels and
resulting salaries, wages and benefits of approximately
$4.7&nbsp;million, increased incentive bonus payments and
accruals in the amount of $6.0&nbsp;million, coal contract
buyouts of $3.3&nbsp;million, increased professional fees of
approximately $3.2&nbsp;million including $1.7&nbsp;million
incurred in documenting, assessing, and improving our controls
and procedures due to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002, and a net increase in all other sales,

Interest expense increased $12.2&nbsp;million to
$20.0&nbsp;million during 2004 compared to 2003. The increase
was mainly due to the additional interest expense of
$10.8&nbsp;million related to our 10%&nbsp;senior notes issued
in May 2004 and the write-off of deferred financing costs of
$2.8&nbsp;million related to our previous credit facility.

Income tax expense increased $4.3&nbsp;million to
$5.2&nbsp;million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 as
compared to the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2003. Our effective
tax rates from continuing operations for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2004 and 2003 were 10.2% and 18.7%,
respectively. The effective tax rates are lower than the
statutory tax rate since we are not subject to tax with respect
to the portion of our income before taxes which is attributable
to ANR Fund&nbsp;IX Holdings, L.P.&#146;s portion of our
earnings and the minority interest&#146;s share in the earnings
of ANR Holdings. In addition, our taxable income is reduced by
percentage depletion allowances (computed as a percentage of
coal revenue, subject to certain income limitations) and the
extraterritorial income exclusion (ETI)&nbsp;deduction (computed
as a percentage of exported coal revenue, subject to certain
income limitations) which reduces our effective tax rates. These
reductions in our effective tax rates are offset by the effect
of increases in our valuation allowance for deferred tax assets
of $0.6&nbsp;million and $0.8&nbsp;million recorded in the year
ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The
reduction in our effective tax rate in 2004 compared to 2003 is
due primarily to the ETI deduction in 2004 generated from
significant export coal revenue, a lower valuation allowance as
a percentage of pre-tax income in 2004, and a larger percentage
of minority interest in 2004 which has no income tax provision.

For the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2003, revenues increased
$596.7&nbsp;million to $781.8&nbsp;million over the combined
revenues for our Predecessor and successor accounting periods in
the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2002. Net income and operating
income for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2003 were
$2.3&nbsp;million and $12.0&nbsp;million, respectively. Net
income and operating income on a combined basis for 2002 are not
comparable. Tons sold increased from 4.5&nbsp;million tons for
the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2002 to 21.6&nbsp;million tons
in 2003 mainly due to the impact of our 2003 Acquisitions. Coal
margin increased from (2.6)% in 2002 to 9.8% in 2003, mainly due
to the lower unit cost of coal sold provided by our 2003
Acquisitions.

<I>Coal Revenues.</I> Coal revenues increased
$533.6&nbsp;million, or 331%, to $694.6&nbsp;million for the
year ended December&nbsp;31, 2003, from $161.0&nbsp;million for
the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2002. The increase was
primarily due to the 2003 Acquisitions, which contributed an
additional 15.7&nbsp;million tons sold and approximately
$505.3&nbsp;million in revenues, partially offset by a reduction
in the average sales price per ton of $3.88 or
$15.0&nbsp;million in revenues. Tons sold increased from
4.5&nbsp;million tons in 2002 to 21.6&nbsp;million tons in 2003.
The 2003 Acquisitions accounted for 16.0&nbsp;million of the
17.1&nbsp;million ton increase in tons sold from 2002 to 2003.
Our average sales price per ton decreased 11% from
$36.02&nbsp;per ton in 2002 to $32.14&nbsp;per ton in 2003,
mainly due to our lower percentage of metallurgical coal sales
in 2003 as compared to sales of our Predecessor in 2002.
Approximately 71% and 29% of our tons sold in the 2003 were
steam coal and metallurgical coal, respectively, as compared to
45% and 55% during 2002.

<I>Freight and Handling Revenues.</I> Freight and handling
revenues increased $55.8&nbsp;million from $18.0&nbsp;million in
2002 due to increased volumes resulting from the 2003
Acquisitions, which contributed approximately $33.5&nbsp;million
of the increase. An increase in overseas export tons of
approximately 1.1&nbsp;million tons was responsible for most of
the remaining increase in freight and handling revenues. These
revenues were offset by equivalent costs and did not contribute
to our profitability.

<I>Other Revenues.</I> Other revenues, principally equipment
repair and sales, and coal handling, terminalling and processing
fees, rents and royalties increased $7.3&nbsp;million to $13.5
for 2003, mainly due to the 2003 Acquisitions, coal handling,
terminalling and processing fees in the amount of
$2.8&nbsp;million and royalty income of $1.3&nbsp;million. Other
revenues for 2002 consisted of equipment repair and sales
income, which increased $1.7&nbsp;million in 2003. Other
revenues attributable to our Coal Operations segment were
$3.4&nbsp;million for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2003, and
we had no other revenues attributable to our Coal Operations
segment for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2002.

<I>Cost of Coal Sales.</I> Our cost of coal sales increased
$461.1&nbsp;million, or 279%, to $626.3&nbsp;million for the
year ended December&nbsp;31, 2003, from $165.2&nbsp;million for
the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2002. The 2003 Acquisitions
accounted for $454.7&nbsp;million of the increase in our cost of
coal sales and for 93% of the 12.6&nbsp;million ton increase in
our produced and processed coal sales for 2003. The average cost
per ton sold decreased 22% from $36.96&nbsp;per ton in 2002 to
$28.98&nbsp;per ton in 2003 as a result of increased production,
which reduced our fixed costs per ton, as well as lower costs of

<I>Freight and Handling Costs.</I> Freight and handling costs
increased $55.8&nbsp;million to $73.8&nbsp;million for the year
ended December&nbsp;31, 2003 as compared to the prior period,
primarily due to increased sales volumes resulting from the 2003
Acquisitions, which contributed approximately $33.5&nbsp;million
of the increase. An increase in overseas export tons of

the remaining increase in freight and handling costs. These

<I>Cost of Other Revenues.</I> Cost of other revenues increased
$4.4&nbsp;million, or 54%, to $12.5&nbsp;million for 2003 as
compared to 2002 as a result of the 2003 Acquisitions, in which
we acquired coal processing operations, and their related costs
of $4.3&nbsp;million, as the cost for 2002 includes only those
related to equipment repair and sales income, which remained
relatively unchanged. Cost of equipment repair and sales for
2002 included a litigation settlement, therefore cost for 2003
did not increase over 2002 with the increased sales volumes.
Cost of other revenues attributable to our Coal Operations
segment were $2.3&nbsp;million for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2003 and we had no cost of other revenues
attributable to our Coal Operations segment for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2002.

<I>Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization.</I> Depreciation,
depletion and amortization expense for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2003 was $35.4&nbsp;million, an increase of
$28.3&nbsp;million from the prior year. The increase in expense
is attributable to the 2003 Acquisitions, and the 2003 capital
additions of $27.7&nbsp;million, as depreciation, depletion and
amortization expense per ton showed only a slight increase from
$1.59&nbsp;per ton in 2002 to $1.64&nbsp;per ton in 2003.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization attributable to our
Coal Operations segment were $32.5&nbsp;million for the year

ended December&nbsp;31, 2002.

<I>Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.</I> Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased by
$12.7&nbsp;million to $21.9&nbsp;million, but decreased from
$2.07&nbsp;per ton sold to $1.00&nbsp;per ton sold from 2002 to
2003, primarily due to a significant increase in tons sold,
partially offset by additional expenses of $2.0&nbsp;million
associated with transition services provided by the selling
companies. Our selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of total revenues decreased from 5.0% in 2002 to 2.8%
in 2003.

<I>Costs to Exit Business.</I> For the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2002, our Predecessor recorded a charge of
$25.3&nbsp;million for a pension plan early withdrawal penalty.
The early withdrawal penalty was incurred when our Predecessor
withdrew from a multi-employer pension plan when we purchased
their operations.

Income taxes from continuing operations increased
$18.1&nbsp;million from a benefit of $17.2&nbsp;million for the
period from January&nbsp;1, 2002 to December&nbsp;13, 2002 to an
expense of $0.9&nbsp;million for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2003. This increase in income taxes was
attributable primarily to the increase in pre-tax income. The
effective tax rate for the period from January&nbsp;1, 2002 to
December&nbsp;13, 2002 and for the year ended December&nbsp;31,
2003 was 41.4% and 18.7%, respectively. In 2003, tax was not
provided on ANR Fund&nbsp;IX Holdings, L.P.&#146;s portion of
our earnings and the minority interest owners&#146; share in the
earnings of ANR Holdings. In addition, in periods when a pre-tax
loss is reported, percentage depletion increases the effective
tax rate (increases the tax benefit) whereas in periods when
pre-tax income is reported, percentage depletion decreases the
effective tax rate (decreases the tax expense).

Our primary liquidity and capital resource requirements are to

At June&nbsp;30, 2005, our available liquidity was
$53.7&nbsp;million, including cash of $10.1&nbsp;million and
$43.6&nbsp;million available under our credit facility. Our
total indebtedness was $262.6&nbsp;million at June&nbsp;30,

the Nicewonder Acquisition and 2005 Financing, including our
repayment of the $181.1&nbsp;million first installment of the
promissory notes we expect to issue to the Nicewonder Coal Group
sellers, our available liquidity at June&nbsp;30, 2005 would
have been $145.1&nbsp;million, including cash of

We currently project cash capital spending for the full year of
2005, including projected post-acquisition cash capital spending
in 2005 on the operations we plan to acquire from Nicewonder, of
$110&nbsp;million to $120&nbsp;million. These forecasted
expenditures will be used to develop new mines and replace or
add equipment. We believe that cash generated from our
operations and borrowings under our credit facility will be
sufficient to meet our working capital requirements, anticipated
capital expenditures and debt service requirements for at least
the next twelve&nbsp;months.

Net cash used by operations in the first six months of 2005 was
$1.4&nbsp;million, a decrease of $48.5&nbsp;million from the
$47.1&nbsp;million of net cash provided by operations during the
first six months of 2004. This $48.5&nbsp;million decrease in
cash provided by operations is mainly attributed to an increase
in the cash used by operating assets and liabilities. The
combination of our net income and non-cash charges included in
net income for the first six months of 2005 increased by
$10.6&nbsp;million over the comparable period in 2004. Improved
operating results in the first six months of 2005 over the prior
year period were more than offset by our stock-based
compensation charges in the amount of $39.8&nbsp;million, the
majority of which were non-cash. This $10.6&nbsp;million
increase was more than offset by an increase in the cash
required to support our operating assets and liabilities in the
amount of $59.1&nbsp;million. The additional cash required for
operating assets and liabilities in the first six months of 2005
as compared to the first six months of 2004 was principally
caused by the following three factors:

During the six month period ended June&nbsp;30, 2004 we

Internal Restructuring and IPO. The proceeds from the IPO were
used to repay shareholders&#146; notes issued as part of the

Net cash used in investing activities was $86.2&nbsp;million
during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2004, $13.9&nbsp;million
less than the same period of 2003. Capital expenditures
increased $44.3&nbsp;million, to $72.0&nbsp;million during 2004.
The increase in capital expenditures was primarily due to the
replacement of equipment, new mine development and upgrades to a
preparation plant. In the second quarter of 2003, we sold our
interest in certain coal properties acquired in the purchase of
our Predecessor, and a royalty interest acquired in our Coastal
Coal Company acquisition for cash of $65.2&nbsp;million. We also
paid $133.8&nbsp;million for the Coastal Coal Company,
U.S.&nbsp;AMCI and Mears acquisitions in 2003. As part of a coal
supply agreement, we loaned an unrelated coal supplier
$10.0&nbsp;million in June 2004 at a variable rate to be repaid
in installments over a two-year period beginning in August 2004.
The loan is secured by the assets of the debtor and personally
guaranteed by the debtor&#146;s owner. The related coal supply
agreement with the debtor should provide us with approximately
40,000 tons of coal per month through March of 2006. In
September 2004, we also acquired an equity interest for a
subscription price of $6.5&nbsp;million in a company which is
developing a mining property in Venezuela. Payments totaling
$4.5&nbsp;million were made during the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2004.

Net cash used in financing activities during the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2004 was $24.4&nbsp;million compared with net
cash provided by financing activities of $48.8&nbsp;million in
the prior year. Net cash used by financing activities included
the net proceeds of $171.5&nbsp;million received as a result of
the issuance of our $175&nbsp;million 10%&nbsp;senior notes in
May 2004 offset by distributions made to our equity owners of

amount of $75.8&nbsp;million, $10.5&nbsp;million paid for debt
issuance costs and $1.7 for deferred stock offering costs during

$18.3&nbsp;million in capital contributions and
$20.0&nbsp;million in advances from affiliates during the year

increased $26.6&nbsp;million to $2.3&nbsp;million when compared
to our Predecessor&#146;s net loss of $24.3&nbsp;million. Our
non-cash charges increased by $36.8&nbsp;million in 2003 mainly
due to increased depreciation, depletion and amortization
charges associated with the 2003 Acquisitions. Net changes in
operating assets and liabilities increased our operating cash
flow by $15.1&nbsp;million in 2003 while net changes in

ability to: incur debt; grant liens; enter into agreements with
negative pledge clauses; provide guarantees in respect of
obligations of any other person; pay dividends and make other
distributions; make loans, investments, advances and

consolidations; engage in affiliate transactions; change
businesses; change our fiscal year; amend certain debt and other
material agreements; issue and sell capital stock of
subsidiaries; engage in sale and leaseback transactions; and

credit facility provides that we must meet or exceed certain
interest coverage ratios and must not exceed certain leverage
ratios.

As a regular part of our business, we review opportunities for,
and engage in discussions and negotiations concerning, the
acquisition of coal mining assets and interests in coal mining
companies, and acquisitions of, or combinations with, coal
mining companies. When we believe that these opportunities are
consistent with our growth plans and our acquisition criteria,
we will make bids or proposals and/or enter into letters of
intent and other similar agreements, which may be binding or
nonbinding, that are customarily subject to a variety of
conditions and usually permit us to terminate the discussions
and any related agreement if, among other things, we are not
satisfied with the results of our due diligence investigation.
Any acquisition opportunities we pursue could materially affect
our liquidity and capital resources and may require us to incur
indebtedness, seek equity capital or both. There can be no
assurance that additional financing will be available on terms
acceptable to us, or at all.

    Alpha Natural Resources, LLC must maintain an interest coverage

    the credit agreement), to cash interest expense (defined as the

Based upon Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement),
Alpha Natural Resources, LLC&#146;s leverage ratio and interest
coverage ratio for the twelve months ended June&nbsp;30, 2005
were 1.67 (maximum of 3.50) and 7.44 (minimum of 2.50),
respectively. Alpha Natural Resources, LLC maintained the
leverage and interest coverage ratios specified in, and were in
compliance with, the credit facility as of June&nbsp;30, 2005.

Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the credit agreement, is used to
determine compliance with many of the covenants under the credit
facility. The breach of covenants in the credit facility that
are tied to ratios based on Adjusted EBITDA could result in a
default under the credit facility and the lenders could elect to
declare all amounts borrowed due and payable. Any acceleration
would also result in a default under our indenture.

Because the covenants in our credit facility relate to Alpha
Natural Resources, LLC, EBITDA as presented in the table below
reflects adjustments for minority interest necessary to
reconcile our net income to Alpha Natural Resources, LLC&#146;s
EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to
exclude non-recurring items, non-cash items and other
adjustments permitted in calculating covenant compliance under
our credit facility, as shown in the table below. We believe
that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA
applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide
additional information to investors to demonstrate compliance
with our financial covenants.

In the normal course of business, we are a party to certain
off-balance sheet arrangements. These arrangements include
guarantees and financial instruments with off-balance sheet
risk, such as bank letters of credit and performance or surety
bonds. No liabilities related to these arrangements are
reflected in our combined balance sheets, and we do not expect
any material adverse effects on our financial condition, results
of operations or cash flows to result from these off-balance
sheet arrangements.

From time to time, we provide guarantees to financial
institutions to facilitate the acquisition of mining equipment
by third parties who mine coal for us. This arrangement is
beneficial to us because it helps insure a continuing source of
coal production.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Federal and state laws require us to secure payment of certain
long-term obligations such as mine closure and reclamation
costs, federal and state workers&#146; compensation, coal leases
and other obligations. We typically secure these payment
obligations by using surety bonds, an off-balance sheet
instrument. The use of surety bonds is less expensive for us
than the alternative of posting a 100% cash bond or a bank
letter of credit, either of which would require a greater use of
our credit facility. We then use bank letters of credit to
secure our surety bonding obligations as a lower cost
alternative than securing those bonds with cash. Under our
$125.0&nbsp;million committed bonding facility, we are required
to provide bank letters of credit in an amount up to 50% of the
aggregate bond liability. Recently, surety bond costs have
increased, while the market terms of surety bonds have generally
become less favorable to us. To the extent that surety bonds
become unavailable, we would seek to secure our reclamation
obligations with letters of credit, cash deposits or other
suitable forms of collateral.

As of June&nbsp;30, 2005, we had outstanding surety bonds with
third parties for post-mining reclamation totaling
$96.0&nbsp;million plus $8.6&nbsp;million for miscellaneous
purposes. We maintained letters of credit as of June&nbsp;30,

In connection with our acquisition of Coastal Coal Company, the
seller, El&nbsp;Paso CGP Company, has agreed to retain and
indemnify us for all workers&#146; compensation and black lung
claims incurred prior to the acquisition date of
January&nbsp;31, 2003. The majority of this liability relates to
claims in the state of West Virginia. If El&nbsp;Paso CGP
Company fails to honor its agreement with us, then we would be
liable for the payment of those claims, which were estimated in
April 2004 to be approximately $5.4&nbsp;million on an
undiscounted basis using claims data through June 2003.
El&nbsp;Paso CGP Company has posted a bond with the state of
West Virginia for the required discounted amount of
$3.7&nbsp;million for claims incurred prior to the acquisition.

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition, results
of operations, liquidity and capital resources is based upon our
combined financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with U.S.&nbsp;generally accepted accounting
principles (&#147;GAAP&#148;). GAAP requires that we make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing
basis, we evaluate our estimates. We base our estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions that we
believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of
which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying
values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates.

<I>Reclamation.</I> Our asset retirement obligations arise from
the federal Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977
and similar state statutes, which require that mine property be
restored in accordance with specified standards and an approved
reclamation plan. Significant reclamation activities include
reclaiming refuse and slurry ponds, reclaiming the pit and
support acreage at surface mines, and sealing portals at deep
mines. We account for the costs of our reclamation activities in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;143,
<I>&#147;Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.&#148;
</I>We determine the future cash flows necessary to satisfy our
reclamation obligations on a mine-by-mine basis based upon
current permit requirements and various estimates and
assumptions, including estimates of disturbed acreage, cost
estimates, and assumptions regarding productivity. Estimates of
disturbed acreage are determined based on approved mining plans
and related engineering data. Cost estimates are based upon
third-party costs. Productivity assumptions are based on
historical experience with the equipment that is expected to be
utilized in the reclamation activities. In accordance with the
provisions of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;143, we determine the fair
value of our asset retirement obligations. In order to determine
fair value, we must also estimate a discount rate and
third-party margin. Each is discussed further below:

    <I>Third-Party Margin.</I> SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;143 requires the
    measurement of an obligation to be based upon the amount a third
    party would demand to assume the obligation. Because we plan to
    perform a significant amount of the reclamation activities with
    internal resources, a third-party margin was added to the
    estimated costs of these activities. This margin was estimated
    based upon our historical experience with contractors performing
    certain types of reclamation activities. The inclusion of this
    margin will result in a recorded obligation that is greater than
    our estimates of our cost to perform the reclamation activities.
    If our cost estimates are accurate, the excess of the recorded
    obligation over the cost incurred to perform the work will be
    recorded as a gain at the time that reclamation work is
    completed.</TD>

On at least an annual basis, we review our entire reclamation
liability and make necessary adjustments for permit changes as
granted by state authorities, additional costs resulting from
accelerated mine closures, and revisions to cost estimates and
productivity assumptions, to reflect current experience. At
June&nbsp;30, 2005, we had recorded asset retirement obligation
liabilities of $41.0&nbsp;million, including amounts reported as
current. While the precise amount of these future costs cannot
be determined with certainty, as of June&nbsp;30, 2005, we
estimate that the aggregate undiscounted cost of final mine
closure is approximately $60.0&nbsp;million.

<I>Coal Reserves.</I> There are numerous uncertainties inherent
in estimating quantities of economically recoverable coal
reserves. Many of these uncertainties are beyond our control. As
a result, estimates of economically recoverable coal reserves
are by their nature uncertain. Information about our reserves
consists of estimates based on engineering, economic and
geological data assembled by our internal engineers and
geologists and reviewed by a third-party consultant. Some of the
factors and assumptions that impact economically recoverable
reserve estimates include:

Each of these factors may in fact vary considerably from the
assumptions used in estimating reserves. For these reasons,
estimates of the economically recoverable quantities of coal
attributable to a particular group of properties, and
classifications of these reserves based on risk of recovery and
estimates of future net cash flows, may vary substantially.
Actual production, revenues and expenditures with respect to
reserves will likely vary from estimates, and these variances
may be material.

<I>Postretirement Medical Benefits.</I> Three of our
subsidiaries have long-term liabilities for postretirement
benefit cost obligations. Detailed information related to these
liabilities is included in the notes to our combined financial
statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. Liabilities
for postretirement benefit costs are not funded. The liability
is actuarially determined, and we use various actuarial
assumptions, including the discount rate and future cost trends,
to estimate the costs and obligations for postretirement benefit
costs. The discount rate assumption reflects the rates available
on high quality fixed income debt instruments. The discount rate
used to determine the net periodic benefit cost for
postretirement benefits other than pensions was 6.25% for the
year ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 and 6.75% for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2003. We make assumptions related to future
trends for medical care costs in the estimates of retiree health
care and work-related injury and illness obligations. If our
assumptions do not materialize as expected, actual cash
expenditures and costs that we incur could differ materially
from our current estimates. Moreover, regulatory changes could
increase our requirement to satisfy these or additional
obligations.

Effective July&nbsp;1, 2004, we began offering postretirement
medical benefits to most of our active employees that will
provide a credit equal to $20&nbsp;per month per year of service
for pre-65&nbsp;year-old retirees, and $9&nbsp;per month per
year of service for post-65-year old retirees toward the
purchase of medical benefits (as defined) from us. This new plan
resulted in prior service cost of $27.1&nbsp;million which will
be amortized over the remaining service lives of the employees
covered by this plan. This amortization of prior service cost is
expected to be approximately $2.8&nbsp;million per year. We
recorded $3.7&nbsp;million and $3.9&nbsp;million in costs with
respect to this new plan in 2004 and the first six months of
2005, respectively, consisting primarily of service cost,
amortization of prior service cost and interest cost.

<I>Workers&#146; Compensation.</I> Workers&#146; compensation is
a system by which individuals who sustain personal injuries due
to job-related accidents are compensated for their disabilities,
medical costs, and on some occasions, for the costs of their
rehabilitation, and by which the survivors of workers who suffer
fatal injuries receive compensation for lost financial support.
The workers&#146; compensation laws are administered by state
agencies with each state having its own set of rules and
regulations regarding compensation that is owed to an employee
who is injured in the course of employment. Our operations are
covered through a combination of a self-insurance program,
participation in a state run program, and an insurance policy.
We accrue for any self-insured liability by recognizing costs
when it is probable that a covered liability has been incurred
and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Our estimates of these
costs are adjusted based upon actuarial studies. Actual losses
may differ from these estimates, which could increase or
decrease our costs.

<I>Coal Workers&#146; Pneumoconiosis.</I> We are responsible

the payment of medical and disability benefits to eligible
employees resulting from occurrences of coal workers&#146;
pneumoconiosis disease (black lung). Our operations are covered

<I>Income Taxes.</I> We account for income taxes in accordance
with SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;109, &#147;Accounting for Income
Taxes&#148;, which requires the recognition of deferred tax
assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates for the effect of
temporary differences between the book and tax bases of recorded
assets and liabilities. SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;109 also requires
that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if
it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the
deferred tax asset will not be realized. In evaluating the need
for a valuation allowance, we take into account various factors
including the expected level of future taxable income and
available tax planning strategies. If future taxable income is
lower than expected or if expected tax planning strategies are
not available as anticipated, we may record a change to the
valuation allowance through income tax expense in the period the
determination is made.

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the
FASB) issued SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;151, <I>Inventory Costs</I>,
which amends the guidance in Accounting Research Bulletin
(ARB)&nbsp;No.&nbsp;43, Chapter&nbsp;4, &#147;Inventory
Pricing,&#148; to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of
idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted
material (spoilage). SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;151 clarifies that
abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling
costs, and wasted materials (spoilage)&nbsp;should be recognized
as current-period charges instead of inventory costs. The
provisions of this pronouncement will be effective for inventory
costs incurred during fiscal years ending after June&nbsp;15,
2005. We are currently evaluating whether the adoption of
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;151 will have any material financial
statement impact.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123(R),
<I>Share-Based Payment</I>, which requires companies to expense
the fair value of equity awards over the required service
period. This Statement is a revision of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123,
<I>Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation</I>.
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No.&nbsp;25,
<I>Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees</I>, which uses the
intrinsic value method to value stock-based compensation. On
April&nbsp;14, 2005, the SEC adopted a new rule that amends the
effective date of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123(R) to allow SEC
registrants to implement SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123(R) as of the
beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after
June&nbsp;15, 2005. This ruling by the SEC changes the effective
date under SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123(R) that would have required
SEC registrants to adopt SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123(R) at the
beginning of their next interim or annual reporting period that
begins after June&nbsp;15, 2005. There are various methods of
adopting SFAS&nbsp;123(R), and we have not yet determined what
method we will use or if we will adopt SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123(R)
in an earlier period than is required.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;153,
<I>Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion
No.&nbsp;29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions</I>. This
Statement&#146;s amendments are based on the principle that
exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the
fair value of the assets exchanged. Further,
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;153 eliminates the narrow exception for
nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces
it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets
that do not have commercial substance. The provisions of this
pronouncement will be effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges
occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June&nbsp;15, 2005.
We do not expect the adoption of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;153 to have
any material impact on our financial statements.

On March&nbsp;17, 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF)&nbsp;of FASB reached consensus on EITF Issue
No.&nbsp;04-6, <I>Accounting for Stripping Costs Incurred during
Production in the Mining Industry</I>, and on March&nbsp;30,
2005, the FASB Board ratified the consensus. The EITF reached
consensus that stripping costs incurred during the production
phase of a mine are variable production costs that should be
included in the costs of inventory produced during the period
that the stripping costs are incurred. ETIF 04-6 is effective
for the first reporting period in fiscal years beginning after
December&nbsp;15, 2005 with early adoption permitted. The
Company does not expect that the adoption of EITF&nbsp;04-6 will
have any material financial statement impact.

In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No.&nbsp;47,
<I>Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations</I>,
an interpretation of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;143, <I>Accounting for
Asset Retirement Obligations</I>. This Interpretation clarifies
that an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair
value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred
if the liability&#146;s fair value can be reasonably estimated.
The provisions of this pronouncement are effective for fiscal
years ending after December&nbsp;15, 2005. The Company does not
expect the adoption of Interpretation No.&nbsp;47 will have any
material financial statement impact.

Our business is seasonal, with operating results varying from
quarter to quarter. We have historically experienced lower sales
during winter months primarily due to the freezing of lakes that
we use to transport coal to some of our customers. As a result,
our first quarter cash flow and profits have been, and may
continue to be, negatively impacted. Lower than expected sales
by us during this period could have a material adverse effect on
the timing of our cash flows and therefore our ability to
service our obligations with respect to our existing and future
indebtedness.

In addition to risks inherent in operations, we are exposed to
market risks. The following discussion provides additional
detail regarding our exposure to the risks of changing coal
prices, interest rates and customer credit.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
We are exposed to market price risk in the normal course of
selling coal. As of October&nbsp;6, 2005, approximately 20% of
our planned 2006 production, 42% of the Nicewonder Coal
Group&#146;s planned 2006 production, 53% of our planned 2007
production and 86% of the Nicewonder Coal Group&#146;s planned
production for 2007 was uncommitted and was not yet priced. We
have increased the proportion of our planned future production
in 2006 and 2007 for which we have contracts to sell coal, which
has the effect of lessening our market price risk.

All of our borrowings under the revolving credit facility are at
a variable rate, so we are exposed to rising interest rates in
the United States. A one percentage point increase in interest
rates would result in an annualized increase to interest expense
of approximately $0.8&nbsp;million based on our variable rate
borrowings as of June&nbsp;30, 2005, or $3.0&nbsp;million based
on our variable rate borrowings as of June&nbsp;30, 2005
calculated on a pro forma basis giving effect to the Nicewonder
Acquisition and 2005 Financing.

Our concentration of credit risk is substantially with electric
utilities, producers of steel and foreign customers. Our policy
is to independently evaluate a customer&#146;s creditworthiness
prior to entering into transactions and to periodically monitor
the credit extended.

Coal is a major contributor to the world energy supply. In 2004,
coal represented approximately 27% of the world&#146;s primary
energy consumption and was also the fastest growing energy
source in the world, according to BP&nbsp;Statistical Review.
The primary use for coal is to fuel electric power generation.
In 2004, coal generated 51.5% of the electricity produced in the
United States, according to the EIA.

The United States is the second largest coal producer in the
world, exceeded only by China, according to BP&nbsp;Statistical
Review. Other leading coal producers include Australia, India,
South Africa and Russia. According to BP&nbsp;Statistical
Review, the United States is the largest holder of coal reserves
in the world, with approximately 245&nbsp;years of supply at
current production rates. U.S.&nbsp;coal reserves are more
plentiful than oil or natural gas, with coal representing
approximately 93% of the nation&#146;s fossil fuel reserves on a
Btu-comparable basis according to data collected by
BP&nbsp;Statistical Review.

According to the EIA, U.S.&nbsp;coal production has increased by
82% during the last 30&nbsp;years. In 2004, total U.S.&nbsp;coal
production, according to the EIA, was 1.1&nbsp;billion tons. The
Powder River Basin accounted for 39% of the total volume of
U.S.&nbsp;coal production in 2003, with Central Appalachia
accounting for 21%, the Midwest accounting for 13%, the West
(other than the Powder River Basin) accounting for 12%, Northern
Appalachia accounting for 12% and Southern Appalachia accounting
for 2%, according to Platts. After the sale of NKC on
April&nbsp;14, 2005, all of our coal production comes from the
Central and Northern Appalachian regions.

Central Appalachia, including eastern Kentucky, Virginia and
southern West Virginia, is the second largest coal producing
region in the United States (21% of 2004 production). Coal from
this region generally has a high heat content of between 12,000
and 14,000 Btus per pound and a low sulfur content ranging from
0.7% to 1.5%. From 2001 to 2004, according to Platts, the
Central Appalachian region experienced a decline in production
from 266.4&nbsp;million tons to 229.2&nbsp;million tons, or a
14% decline, primarily as a result of the depletion of
economically attractive reserves, permitting issues and
increasing costs of production, which was partially offset by
production increases in Southern West Virginia due to the
expansion of more economically attractive surface mines. The EIA
estimates that Central Appalachian operators marketed
approximately 52% of their 2003 coal sales directly to electric
generators, principally in the southeastern U.S., 25% to coal
synfuel plants that further process the coal for sale to
electric generators and industrial end-users, and the remainder
primarily to steel producers in the U.S. and internationally.
Central Appalachia is the primary source of U.S.&nbsp;coal
exports. We operate or have the right to receive production from
47 mines in this region producing primarily high Btu, low sulfur
steam and metallurgical coal.

Northern Appalachia, including Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania and
northern West Virginia, is the other major coal producing region
in the eastern U.S.&nbsp;(12% of 2004 U.S.&nbsp;production).
Coal from this region generally has a high heat content of
between 12,000 and 14,000 Btus per pound with typical sulfur
content ranging from 1.0% to 4.5%. From 2001 to 2004, according
to Platts, the Northern Appalachian region experienced a decline
in production from 142.3&nbsp;million tons to 135&nbsp;million
tons, or a 5% decline, primarily as a result of production
problems at longwall mining operations in southern Pennsylvania
and northern West Virginia. Northern Appalachian operators
market the vast majority of their coal to electric generators.
Despite its sulfur content, which is considered medium sulfur
coal, coal from Northern Appalachia is generally considered
attractive to electricity generators because of its high average
heat content of approximately 13,000&nbsp;Btus per pound. We
operate or have the right to receive production from 17 mines in
this region producing primarily steam and metallurgical coal
with a sulfur content of greater than 1.5% that has an average
heat content of approximately 12,350 Btus per pound.

Coal produced in the United States is primarily consumed
domestically by utilities to generate electricity, by steel
companies to produce coke for use in blast furnaces, and by a
variety of industrial users to heat and power foundries, cement
plants, paper mills, chemical plants and other manufacturing and
processing facilities. According to the EIA, 98%

As reflected in the above table, the dominant use for coal in
the United States is for electricity generation. Coal used as
fuel to generate electricity and for use by industrial consumers
is commonly referred to as &#147;steam coal,&#148; and it
accounted for approximately 63% of our 2004 coal sales volume.
Coal has long been favored as an electricity generating fuel by
regulated utilities because of its low cost compared to other
fuels. The largest cost component in electricity generation is
fuel. This fuel cost is typically lower for coal than competing
hydrocarbon-based fuels such as oil and natural gas on a
Btu-comparable basis. Global Energy Advisors has estimated the
average total production costs of electricity, using coal and
competing generation alternatives in the first quarter of 2005
as follows:

The EIA projects that generators of electricity will increase
their demand for coal as demand for electricity increases.
Because coal-fired generation is used in most cases to meet
&#147;base load&#148; requirements, which are the minimum
amounts of electric power delivered or required over a given
period of time at a steady rate, coal consumption has generally
grown at the pace of electricity demand growth. Demand for
electricity has historically grown in proportion to
U.S.&nbsp;economic growth as measured by Gross Domestic Product.
Based on estimates compiled by the EIA, coal consumption is
expected to grow 1.6%&nbsp;per year until 2025.

The other major market for our coal is the steel industry. The
type of coal used in steel making is referred to as
&#147;metallurgical coal,&#148; and it accounted for
approximately 37% of our 2004 coal sales volume. When making
steel in an integrated steel mill, two of the key raw
ingredients are iron ore and coke. Coke is the substance formed
when metallurgical coal is heated in a coking oven to a very
high temperature in the absence of air. In the blast furnace of
an integrated steel mill, coke is primarily used to
(i)&nbsp;generate the heat required to convert iron ore into
molten iron; (ii)&nbsp;generate the reducing gas necessary to
chemically convert iron oxides into hot metal; and
(iii)&nbsp;create a permeable bed to allow the molten iron to
drip down and the reducing gases to rise up. Generally, 1.5 tons
of metallurgical coal produces approximately 1 ton of coke,
which in turn is needed to produce approximately 2 tons of steel.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Blast furnaces are designed to use specific grades of cokes, and
as a result, coking ovens are designed to use metallurgical
coals with specific qualities. Metallurgical coal is
distinguished by special quality characteristics that include
high carbon content, low expansion pressure, low sulfur content,
and various other chemical attributes. Metallurgical coal is
also high in heat content (as measured in Btus), and therefore
can alternatively be used by utilities as fuel for electricity
generation. Consequently, metallurgical coal producers have the
opportunity to select the market that provides maximum revenue.
The premium price offered for metallurgical coal by steel makers
for its coke-making attributes is typically higher than the
price offered by utility coal buyers that typically value only
the heat and sulfur content of steam coal.
U.S.&nbsp;metallurgical coal reserves are predominately
concentrated in the Central Appalachian region. The EIA
estimates that the Central Appalachian region supplied 77% of
U.S.&nbsp;export metallurgical coal during 2003.

In 2004, approximately 4% of our coal sales were made to
industrial consumers, all of which was steam coal. Industrial
users of coal typically purchase high Btu products with the same
type of quality focus as utility coal buyers. The primary goal
is to maximize heat content, with other specifications like ash
content, sulfur content, and size varying considerably among
different customers. Because most industrial coal consumers use
considerably less tonnage than electric generating stations,
they typically prefer to purchase coal that is screened and
sized to specifications that streamline coal handling processes.
Due to the more stringent size and quality specifications,
industrial customers often pay a premium above utility coal
pricing.

Coal produced in the United States that is shipped for North
American consumption is typically sold at the mine loading
facility with transportation costs being borne by the purchaser.
Offshore export shipments are normally sold at the ship-loading
terminal, with the producer paying for the transportation costs
to the port and the purchaser paying the ocean freight.

While delivery to coal consumers often involves more than one
mode of transportation, according to the EIA, approximately
two-thirds of U.S.&nbsp;coal production is shipped via
railroads. In addition, coal is also shipped via trucks, barges,
overland conveyors, and ocean vessels loaded at export terminals.

The United States ranked sixth among worldwide exporters of coal
in 2004, according to estimates by the World Coal Institute.
Australia was the largest exporter, with other major exporters
including China, Indonesia, South Africa, Russia and Colombia.
According to the EIA, the United States continues to be a swing
supplier of coal in the world market. The EIA&#146;s most recent
estimates indicate that U.S.&nbsp;exports in 2004 decreased by
over 33% since 1994 as a result of increased international
competition, the U.S.&nbsp;dollar&#146;s strength over time in
comparison to foreign currencies and the depletion of reserves
in regions of the United States that have traditionally sold
into the export market. According to the EIA, the United States
exported 48.0&nbsp;million tons of coal in 2004, of which 56%
was used for electricity generation and 44% was used for steel
making. U.S.&nbsp;coal exports were shipped to 25 countries in
2003. According to the EIA, the largest purchaser of both
exported steam coal and exported metallurgical coal from the
United States in 2004 was Canada, which imported 14&nbsp;million
tons, or 66%, of total steam coal exports and 3.8&nbsp;million
tons, or 14%, of total metallurgical coal exports.

<I>Growth in Coal Consumption.</I> According to the EIA, from
1990 to 2004 coal consumption in the United States increased
from 904&nbsp;million tons to 1,104.3&nbsp;million tons, or 22%.
The largest driver of increased coal consumption during this
period was increased demand for electricity, as electricity
production by domestic electric power producers increased 31%
and coal consumption by electric power producers increased 30%.

for domestic electric power producers, we believe coal
consumption should continue to expand as demand for electricity
continues to increase.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<I>Increased Utilization of Excess Capacity at Existing
Coal-Fired Power Plants.</I> We believe that existing coal-fired
plants will supply much of the near-term projected increase in
the demand for electricity because they possess excess capacity
that can be utilized at low incremental costs. In 2004, the
estimated average utilization of the existing coal-fired power
plant fleet was 72%, significantly below the estimated potential
utilization rate of 85%. If U.S.&nbsp;coal fueled plants operate
at utilization rates of 85%, we believe they would consume
approximately 185&nbsp;million additional tons of coal per year,
which represents an increase of approximately 16% over current
coal consumption. In comparison, in 2004, the average
utilization of the existing nuclear-fired power plant fleet was
estimated by Platts to be 90%.

<I>Construction of New Coal-Fired Power Plants.</I> The NETL
projects that more than 100,000 megawatts of new coal-fired
electric generation capacity will be constructed in the United
States by 2025. The NETL has identified 124 coal-fired plants,
representing 73,000 megawatts of electric generation capacity,
which have been proposed and are currently in various stages of
development. The DOE projects that approximately 70 of these
proposed coal-fired plants, representing approximately 43,000
megawatts of electric generation capacity, will be completed and
begin consuming coal to produce electricity by the end of 2010.

<I>Industry Consolidation.</I> The U.S.&nbsp;coal industry has
experienced significant consolidation over the last
15&nbsp;years. In 2004, the five largest coal producers
controlled over 51% of coal produced in the United States,
compared to just 35% in 1995 and 22% in 1990, according to
Platts. Weaker coal prices in the late 1990s forced many smaller
operators to sell or shut down their operations. In addition, a
number of large international oil and gas companies decided to
exit the domestic coal industry. Despite increased
consolidation, the industry still remains relatively fragmented
with more than 700 coal producers in the United States in 2004,
according to Platts.

<I>Increasingly Stringent Air Quality Laws.</I> The coal
industry has witnessed a shift in demand to low sulfur coal
production driven by regulatory restrictions on sulfur dioxide
emissions from coal-fired power plants. In 1995, Phase&nbsp;I of
the Clean Air Act&#146;s Acid Rain regulations required high
sulfur coal plants to reduce their emissions of sulfur dioxide
to 2.5 pounds or less per million Btu, and in 2000,
Phase&nbsp;II tightened these sulfur dioxide restrictions
further to 1.2&nbsp;pounds of sulfur dioxide per million Btu.
Sulfur dioxide and other emissions may be restricted even
further by some currently proposed laws and regulations.
Currently, electric power generators operating coal-fired plants
can comply with these requirements by:

<I>Steam Coal Pricing.</I> U.S.&nbsp;spot steam coal prices have
experienced significant volatility over the past few years.
Starting in late 2000 and continuing through mid-2001,
U.S.&nbsp;spot steam coal prices began to rise as a result of
reduced supply, higher demand from utility and industrial
consumers, and rising natural gas and oil prices. Beginning in
the middle of 2001, U.S.&nbsp;spot steam coal prices declined
due to the weakening domestic economy, higher utility consumer
inventories and increases in supply as the coal production
market reacted to the stronger prices during the late 2000/early
2001 period. Spot prices for U.S.&nbsp;steam coal remained
relatively low through the end of 2001 and during all of 2002.

U.S.&nbsp;spot steam coal prices have steadily increased since

<I>Metallurgical Coal Pricing.</I> Metallurgical coal prices in
both the domestic and seaborne export markets have increased
significantly over the past two years due to tight supply and
strong global steel production. The price increase in the
U.S.&nbsp;metallurgical coal market is due in part to improved
stability in the U.S.&nbsp;steel industry, which has increased
domestic demand for metallurgical coal. The
U.S.&nbsp;flat-rolled steel industry has experienced several
mergers and acquisitions involving a number of companies
emerging from, and assets sold out of, Chapter&nbsp;11
bankruptcy protection. Many of the companies or assets
previously in Chapter&nbsp;11 have reduced or eliminated certain
of their costs and obligations associated with their steel
operations, including environmental, employee and retiree
benefit and other obligations. This reduction in industry
liabilities, together with the recent weakening of the
U.S.&nbsp;dollar, has helped U.S.&nbsp;steel companies become
more competitive with foreign steel producers.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Prices for U.S.&nbsp;metallurgical coal in foreign markets have
been supported by significant increases in demand for
metallurgical coal by foreign steel producers, driven by higher
steel production in Asia and the Pacific Rim, particularly in
China. According to the International Iron and Steel Institute,
global steel consumption increased by 8.8% during 2004 over the
2003 level, Chinese steel consumption increased approximately
11% in 2004 over 2003, and Asia-Pacific Rim consumption of
metallurgical coal continues to strain supply. Additionally, the
recent weakness of the U.S.&nbsp;dollar has made
U.S.&nbsp;metallurgical coal more competitive in international
markets. Increased prices have also been supported by
circumstances affecting the coal export industry in China and
Australia, the world&#146;s two largest coal exporters. In
Australia, the world&#146;s largest coal exporter, metallurgical
coal exports have been reduced by operating disruptions at
certain Australian metallurgical coal mines and capacity
constraints at major Australian shipping ports. China&#146;s
contribution to the world metallurgical coal export market has
been reduced by restrictions on its metallurgical coal exports
announced in late 2003 in order to satisfy domestic demand.
Asia-Pacific Rim consumption of metallurgical coal continues to
strain supply, with BHP Billiton, a major Australian producer,
reporting a 53% increase in average realized metallurgical coal
prices for fiscal year 2005 over the prior fiscal year, and
Fording Canadian Coal Trust, a major Canadian producer,
reporting an increase of

We are a leading Appalachian coal producer. Our reserves
primarily consist of high Btu, low sulfur steam coal that is
currently in high demand in U.S.&nbsp;coal markets and
metallurgical coal that is currently in high demand in both U.S.
and international coal markets. We produce, process and sell
steam and metallurgical coal from seven regional business units,
which, as of September&nbsp;15, 2005, are supported by 44 active
underground mines, 20 active surface mines and 11 preparation
plants located throughout Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky and
Pennsylvania. We are also actively involved in the purchase and
resale of coal mined by others, the majority of which we blend
with coal produced from our mines, allowing us to realize a
higher overall margin for the blended product than we would be
able to achieve selling these coals separately.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Steam coal, which is primarily purchased by large utilities and
industrial customers as fuel for electricity generation,
accounted for approximately 58% of our coal sales volume in the
first six months of 2005 and 63% of our 2004 coal sales volume.
The majority of our steam coal sales volume in the first six
months of 2005 and during 2004 consisted of high Btu (above
12,500 Btu content per pound), low sulfur (sulfur content of
1.5% or less) coal, which typically sells at a premium to
lower-Btu, higher-sulfur steam coal. Metallurgical coal, which
is used primarily to make coke, a key component in the steel
making process, accounted for approximately 42% of our coal
sales volume in the first six months of 2005 and 37% of our 2004
coal sales volume. Metallurgical coal generally sells at a
premium over steam coal because of its higher quality and its
value in the steelmaking process as the raw material for coke.
Under current market conditions, we are able to market a
significant portion of our higher quality steam coal as
metallurgical coal.

As discussed in note&nbsp;22 to our financial statements, we
have one reportable segment&nbsp;&#151; Coal
Operations&nbsp;&#151; which consists of our coal extracting,

coal sales function and certain other coal-related activities.
Our equipment and part sales and equipment repairs operations,
terminal services, coal and environmental analysis services and
leasing of mineral rights described below under

On December&nbsp;13, 2002, the First Reserve Stockholders, who
then owned 100% of the membership interests of ANR Holdings,
acquired the majority of the Virginia coal operations of our
Predecessor through wholly owned subsidiaries of ANR Holdings
for $62.9&nbsp;million.

On January&nbsp;31, 2003, wholly owned subsidiaries of ANR
Holdings acquired Coastal Coal Company for $67.8&nbsp;million,
and on March&nbsp;11, 2003, ANR Holdings and its subsidiaries
acquired the U.S.&nbsp;coal production and marketing operations
of AMCI for $121.3&nbsp;million. Of the consideration for the
U.S.&nbsp;AMCI acquisition, $69.0&nbsp;million was provided in
the form of an approximate 44% membership interest in ANR
Holdings issued to the owners of AMCI, which together with the
issuances of an approximate 1% membership interest to Madison
Capital Funding, LLC and Alpha Coal Management reduced the First
Reserve Stockholders membership interest in ANR Holdings to
approximately 55%. On November&nbsp;17, 2003, we acquired the
assets of Mears for $38.0&nbsp;million.

On April&nbsp;1, 2004, we acquired substantially all of the
assets of Moravian Run Reclamation Co., Inc. for five thousand
dollars in cash and the assumption by us of certain liabilities,
including four active surface mines and two additional surface
mines under development, operating in close proximity to and
serving many of the same customers as our AMFIRE business unit
located in Pennsylvania. On May&nbsp;10, 2004, we acquired a
coal preparation plant and railroad loading facility located in
Portage, Pennsylvania and related equipment and coal inventory
from Cooney Bros. Coal Company for $2.5&nbsp;million in cash and
an adjacent coal refuse disposal site from a Cooney family trust
for $0.3&nbsp;million in cash. On October&nbsp;13, 2004, our
AMFIRE business unit entered into a coal mining lease with
Pristine Resources, Inc., a subsidiary of International Steel
Group Inc., for the right to deep mine a substantial area of the
Upper Freeport Seam in Pennsylvania.

On February&nbsp;11, 2005, we succeeded to the business and
became the indirect parent entity of ANR Holdings in connection
with the Internal Restructuring and, on February&nbsp;18, 2005,
we completed an initial public offering of our common stock.

On September&nbsp;23, 2005, we entered into agreements to
acquire the Nicewonder Coal Group&#146;s coal reserves and
operations in southern West Virginia and southwestern Virginia.
Pursuant to the agreements and subject to the satisfaction or
waiver of the conditions therein, we have agreed to purchase the
outstanding capital stock of White Flame Energy, Inc., Twin Star
Mining, Inc. and Nicewonder Contracting, Inc., the equity
interests of Powers Shop, LLC and Buchanan Energy, LLC and
substantially all of the assets of Mate Creek Energy of W. Va.,
Inc. and Virginia Energy Company, and to acquire Premium Energy,
Inc. by merger. We have agreed to pay an aggregate purchase
price of $316.2&nbsp;million for the Nicewonder Coal Group,
including $35.2&nbsp;million in cash, $221.0&nbsp;million in
promissory installment notes of one of our indirect, wholly
owned subsidiaries and the issuance of a number of shares of our
common stock having a fair market value of approximately
$60.0&nbsp;million, based on the weighted average trading price
of our common stock during the 20-day trading period immediately
prior to the closing, subject to certain adjustments. The
purchase price is subject to certain working capital and other
adjustments.

We anticipate that we will close our purchase of the Nicewonder
Coal Group in late October 2005; however, it is possible that
the Nicewonder Acquisition will not be consummated in that time
period or at all. Closing of the acquisition of the Nicewonder
Coal Group is subject to certain conditions set forth in the
acquisition agreements, including securing financing, receiving
necessary regulatory approvals, entering into definitive
agreements with certain customers of the Nicewonder Coal Group,
receiving certain third party consents and other customary
conditions. Following the completion of the Nicewonder
Acquisition, the operations acquired from the Nicewonder Coal
Group will constitute a new eighth business unit, although we
may eventually integrate these operations into our seven
existing business units.

<I>We provide a comprehensive range of steam and metallurgical
coal products that are in high demand.</I> Our reserves enable
us to provide customers with coal products that are in high
demand&nbsp;&#151; including high Btu, low sulfur steam coal,
and low, medium and high volatile metallurgical coal. Steam coal
customers value high Btu coal because it fuels electricity
generation more efficiently than lower energy content coal. In
addition, the demand for clean burning, low sulfur coal has
grown significantly since the implementation of sulfur emission
restrictions mandated by the Clean Air Act. Metallurgical coal
customers require precise coal characteristics to meet their
coke production specifications and generally value low volatile
metallurgical coal more highly than other categories of
metallurgical coal.

<I>Our flexible mining operations and diversified asset base
allow us to manage costs while capitalizing on market
opportunities.</I> Our 64 active mines, 11 preparation plants
and seven regional business units are supported by flexible and
cost-effective use of our mining equipment and personnel. Our
underground mines use the room and pillar mining method with
continuous mining equipment, and our surface mines principally
use trucks, loaders and dozers. Our mining equipment is
interchangeable and can be redirected easily at a relatively low
cost, providing us with flexibility to respond to changing
geologic, operating and market conditions. The diversity of our
portfolio of mines and preparation plants allows us to move
resources between existing or new operations and limits our mine
concentration risk. This diversity also limits our mine
concentration risk, as the mine that produced the greatest
amount of our coal contributed only approximately 10% of our
production during 2004.

<I>Our ability to provide customized product offerings creates
valuable market opportunities, strengthens our customer
relationships and improves profitability.</I> We have a
&#147;customer-focused&#148; marketing strategy that, combined
with our comprehensive range of coal product offerings and
established marketing network, enables us to customize our coal
deliveries to a customer&#146;s precise needs and
specifications. The products we sell to our customers will often
be a blend of internally produced coal and coal we have
purchased from third parties, in contrast to the more
traditional approach of only offering coal produced from captive
mines. Our blending capabilities give us a competitive advantage
in product source and composition. We use spot market coal to
optimize the mix delivered to our customers and to maximize the
profitability of each of our contracts. We believe our
commitment to providing high quality coal products designed to
our customers&#146; specifications enables us to maintain strong
customer relationships while maximizing the value of our coal
reserves.

<I>Our primary operating focus is the Appalachian region, the
region with the most producer-favorable coal supply and demand
dynamics in the United States.</I> Our operations are focused on
Central and Northern Appalachia, which accounted for
approximately 72% and 28%, respectively, of the coal produced
from our mines during 2004. The Appalachian region has produced
declining supplies of coal in recent years while regional
demand, already the highest in the United States based on tons
consumed, is expected to increase due to growth in regional
demand for electricity. We believe these trends in Appalachian
coal supply and demand, the high quality of Appalachian coal and
the lower transportation costs that result from the proximity of
Appalachian producers and customers create favorable pricing
dynamics that provide us with an advantage over producers from
other regions.

<I>Our Central Appalachian mining expertise provides us with
significant regional growth opportunities.</I> Our focus on the
Appalachian region has allowed us to develop expertise in
efficiently mining Central Appalachian reserves. Furthermore, we
have developed both a good understanding of the region&#146;s
transportation infrastructure and a favorable reputation with
the region&#146;s property owners, coal industry operators and
employee base.

<I>Our comparatively low amount of long-term reclamation and
employee-related liabilities provides us with financial
flexibility.</I> As of June&nbsp;30, 2005, we had total accrued
reclamation liabilities of $41.0&nbsp;million, self-insured
workers&#146; compensation liabilities of $5.9&nbsp;million and
post-retirement obligations of $20.1&nbsp;million, and we had no
pension liabilities and minimal black lung liabilities. We
believe the amount of these liabilities are among the lowest of
the publicly-traded U.S.&nbsp;coal producers. In addition,
because over 90% of our approximately 2,850 employees are
employed by our subsidiaries on a union-free basis as of
September&nbsp;30, 2005, and approximately 95% of our coal
production during 2004 was produced from mines operated by
union-free employees, we are better able to minimize the types
of employee-related liabilities commonly associated with
union-represented mines. Similar to Alpha, the Nicewonder Coal
Group has a comparatively low amount of long-term reclamation
liabilities, and, as of June&nbsp;30, 2005, had accrued
approximately $9.2&nbsp;million for such liabilities. All of the
Nicewonder Coal Group&#146;s 394 employees are employed on a
union-free basis as of September&nbsp;30, 2005.

<I>Our management team has extensive coal industry experience
and has successfully integrated a number of acquisitions.</I>
Our senior executives have, on average, more than 20&nbsp;years
of experience in the coal industry, largely in the Appalachian
region, and they have substantial experience in increasing
productivity, reducing costs, implementing our marketing
strategy and coal blending capabilities, improving safety, and
developing and maintaining strong customer and employee
relationships. In addition to their operating strengths, the
majority of our senior executives have significant experience in
identifying, acquiring and integrating acquired coal companies
into existing organizations.

<I>Achieve premium pricing and optimum efficiency in contract
fulfillment.</I> We intend to continue to use our diversified
operating strategy, coal blending capabilities, market knowledge
and strong marketing organization to identify and capitalize on
opportunities to generate premium pricing for our coal and to
achieve optimum efficiency in fulfillment of coal contracts. As
of October&nbsp;6, 2005, approximately 20% of our planned
production for 2006 and 53% of our planned production for 2007
was uncommitted and was not yet priced, which we believe
provides us with significant price certainty in the short-term
while maintaining uncommitted planned production that allows us
to take an opportunistic approach to selling our coal. We
believe our planned Nicewonder Acquisition will further enhance
our ability to achieve premium pricing and optimum efficiency in
contract fulfillment. The Nicewonder Coal Group, which is
currently a 4.3&nbsp;million ton per year operation, has 42% of
planned production for 2006 and 86% of planned production for
2007 uncommitted as of October&nbsp;6, 2005.

criteria. We employ what we believe is a disciplined acquisition
strategy focused on acquiring coal and coal-related operations
and assets at attractive valuations. Some of the factors that we
consider in evaluating an acquisition candidate include:

<I>Maintain a strong safety, labor relations and environmental
record.</I> One of our core values is protecting the health and
welfare of our employees by designing and implementing high
safety standards in the workplace. We also aim to preserve the
positive relationship we have developed with our employees.
There have been no material work stoppages at any of our
facilities since we were formed in 2002 or at any of our
Predecessor or acquired facilities in the past 10&nbsp;years.
Furthermore, we aim to adhere to high standards in protecting
and preserving the environment in which we operate. For example,
in August 2004 we began implementing an environmental best
practices system across all of our subsidiaries&#146; operations
that involves the development of specific environmental policies
and programs, advanced training of our environmental staff and
management, and periodic assessments to measure the level of our
environmental awareness and compliance.

<I>We produce coal using two mining methods:</I> underground
room and pillar mining using continuous mining equipment, and
surface mining, which are explained as follows:

<I>Underground Mining.</I> Underground mines in the United
States are typically operated using one of two different
methods: room and pillar mining or longwall mining. In 2004,
approximately 82% of our produced coal volume came from

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt;">
underground mining operations using the room and pillar method
with continuous mining equipment. In room and pillar mining,
rooms are cut into the coal bed leaving a series of pillars, or
columns of coal, to help support the mine roof and control the
flow of air. Continuous mining equipment is used to cut the coal
from the mining face. Generally, openings are driven
20&nbsp;feet wide and the pillars are generally rectangular in
shape measuring 35-50&nbsp;feet wide by 35-80&nbsp;feet long. As
mining advances, a grid-like pattern of entries and pillars is
formed. Shuttle cars are used to transport coal to the conveyor
belt for transport to the surface. When mining advances to the
end of a panel, retreat mining may begin. In retreat mining, as
much coal as is feasible is mined from the pillars that were
created in advancing the panel, allowing the roof to cave. When
retreat mining is completed to the mouth of the panel, the mined
panel is abandoned. The room and pillar method is often used to
mine smaller coal blocks or thin or non-contiguous seams, and
seam recovery ranges from 35% to 70%, with higher seam recovery
rates applicable where retreat mining is combined with room and
pillar mining. Productivity for continuous room and pillar
mining in the United States averages&nbsp;3.5 tons per employee
per hour, according to the EIA.

The other underground mining method commonly used in the United
States is the longwall mining method, which we do not currently
use at any of our mines. In longwall mining, a rotating drum is
trammed mechanically across the face of coal, and a hydraulic
system supports the roof of the mine while it advances through
the coal. Chain conveyors then move the loosened coal to an
underground mine conveyor system for delivery to the surface.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<I>Surface Mining.</I> Surface mining is used when coal is found
close to the surface. In 2004, approximately 18% of our produced
coal volume (approximately 32% on a pro forma basis after giving
effect to the Nicewonder Acquisition) came from surface mines.
This method involves the removal of overburden (earth and rock
covering the coal) with heavy earth-moving equipment and
explosives, loading out the coal, replacing the overburden and
topsoil after the coal has been excavated and reestablishing
vegetation and plant life and making other improvements that
have local community and environmental benefit. Overburden is
typically removed at our mines by either hydraulic shovels or
front-end loaders which place the overburden into large trucks.
We also operate a fine coal recovery dredge operation which we
consider to be a surface mine. Seam recovery for surface mining
is typically 90% or more. Productivity depends on equipment,
geological composition and mining ratios and averages&nbsp;4.8
tons per employee per hour in eastern regions of the United
States, according to the EIA.

We have seven regional business units as of September&nbsp;15,
2005, including two in Virginia, three in West Virginia, one in
Pennsylvania and one in Kentucky. As of September&nbsp;15, 2005,
these business units include 11 preparation plants, each of
which receive, blend, process and ship coal that is produced
from one or more of our 64 active mines (some of which are
operated by third parties under contracts with us), using two
mining methods, underground room and pillar and surface mining.
Our underground mines generally consist of one or more single or
dual continuous miner sections which are made up of the
continuous miner, shuttle cars, roof bolters and various
ancillary equipment. Our surface mines are a combination of
mountain top removal, contour and auger operations using
truck/loader equipment fleets along with large production
tractors. Most of our preparation plants are modern heavy media
plants that generally have both coarse and fine coal cleaning
circuits. We employ preventive maintenance and rebuild programs
to ensure that our equipment is modern and well-maintained.
During 2004, most of our preparation plants also processed coal
that we purchased from third-party producers before reselling it
to our customers. Within each regional business unit, mines have
been developed at strategic locations in close proximity to our
preparation plants and rail shipping facilities. Coal is
transported from our regional business units to customers by
means of railroads, trucks, barge lines and ocean-going vessels
from terminal facilities. The

The coal production and processing capacity of our mines and
processing plants is influenced by a number of factors including
reserve availability, labor availability, environmental permit
timing and preparation plant capacity. We have obtained permits
for and are currently in the process of developing Deep Mine 35
in Virginia to be operated by our Paramont business unit,
Madison deep mine in Pennsylvania which is operated by our
AMFIRE business unit, Seven Pines surface mine in West Virginia
which is operated by our Brooks Run business unit and Cucumber
deep mine in West Virginia to be operated by our Welch business
unit. We anticipate spending approximately $60.0&nbsp;million
developing these mines during 2005. We expect these mines to
begin production at various times during 2005 and to reach full
production capacity of approximately 2.8&nbsp;million tons by
the end of 2006, some of which is intended to replace existing
production from contract-operated deep mines in Virginia and
West Virginia that are being depleted or decommissioned. We
expect the majority of this new production to be metallurgical
coal.

<I>White Flame Energy.</I> White Flame Energy operates a surface
mine located in Mingo County, West Virginia, producing low
sulfur coal. Coal from this surface mine is transported by truck
to the Mate Creek rail load-out facility located on the Norfolk
Southern Line, where it is blended with production from NCI and
sold to customers. During 2004, White Flame Energy produced
1.8&nbsp;million tons of steam coal. As of September&nbsp;15,
2005, White Flame Energy was operating at a capacity to ship
approximately 1.8&nbsp;million tons per year.

<I>Premium Energy.</I> Premium operates a surface mine in Mingo
and Logan counties, West Virginia, producing high quality steam
and metallurgical coals. The coal produced by Premium is
currently transported to Arch Coal, Inc.&#146;s Mingo Logan
mining complex by off road haul. Historically, the vast majority
of Premium&#146;s production has been sold exclusively to Mingo
Logan. In conjunction with the Nicewonder Acquisition,
Nicewonder has agreed to renegotiate the coal sales contract
with Arch Coal, reducing the volume to approximately
1.3&nbsp;million tons in 2006 and 0.6&nbsp;million tons in 2007,
and terminating thereafter. Mingo Logan will continue to process
and load the Premium Energy production for a negotiated price
per ton. During 2004, Premium produced 1.7&nbsp;million tons of
metallurgical grade coal and steam coal. As of
September&nbsp;15, 2005, Premium was operating at a capacity to
ship approximately 1.6&nbsp;million tons per year.

<I>Nicewonder Contracting (NCI).</I> NCI operates a highway
construction business under a contract with the State of West
Virginia Department of Transportation. Pursuant to the contract,
NCI is building approximately 11&nbsp;miles of rough grade
highway in West Virginia over the next six to seven years and,
in exchange NCI will be compensated by West Virginia based on
the number of cubic yards of material excavated and/or filled to
create a road bed, as well as for certain other cost components.
In the course of road construction, NCI will recover any coal
encountered and sell the coal to its customers, subject to
certain costs including coal loading, transportation, coal
royalty payments and applicable taxes and fees. During 2004, NCI
produced approximately 45,000 tons of coal. As of
September&nbsp;15, 2005, NCI was operating at a capacity to ship
approximately 0.5&nbsp;million tons per year.

In general, coal of all geological compositions is characterized
by end use as either steam coal or metallurgical coal. Heat
value, sulfur, ash and moisture content, and coking
characteristics such as fluidity, Audibert-Arnu dilatometer
(ARNU)&nbsp;scores and volatility in the case of metallurgical
coal, are the most important variables in the profitable
marketing and transportation of coal. These characteristics
determine the best end use of a particular type of coal. We
mine, process, market and transport bituminous coal,
characteristics of which are described below.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<I>Heat Value.</I> The heat value of coal is commonly measured
in British thermal units, or &#147;Btus.&#148; A Btu is the
amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one pound of
water by one degree Fahrenheit. All of our coal is bituminous
coal, a &#147;soft&#148; black coal with a heat content that
ranges from 9,500 to 15,000 Btus per pound. This coal is located
primarily in Appalachia, Arizona, the Midwest, Colorado and Utah
and is the type most commonly used for electric power generation
in the United States. Bituminous coal is also used for
metallurgical and industrial steam purposes. Of our estimated
492.2&nbsp;million tons of proven and probable reserves,
approximately 94% has a heat content above 12,500 Btus per pound.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<I>Sulfur Content.</I> Sulfur content can vary from seam to seam
and sometimes within each seam. When coal is burned, it produces
sulfur dioxide, the amount of which varies depending on the
chemical composition and the concentration of sulfur in the
coal. Low sulfur coals are coals which have a sulfur content of
1.5% or less. Demand for low sulfur coal has increased, and is
expected to continue to increase, as generators of electricity
strive to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions to comply with
increasingly stringent emission standards in environmental laws
and regulations. Approximately 89% of our proven and probable
reserves are low sulfur coal.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
High sulfur coal can be burned in plants equipped with
sulfur-reduction technology, such as scrubbers, which can reduce
sulfur dioxide emissions by 50% to 90%. Plants without scrubbers
can burn high sulfur coal by blending it with lower sulfur coal
or by purchasing emission allowances on the open market,
allowing the user to emit a predetermined

amount of sulfur dioxide. Some older coal-fired plants have been
retrofitted with scrubbers, although most have shifted to lower
sulfur coals as their principal strategy for complying with
Phase&nbsp;II of the Clean Air Act&#146;s Acid Rain regulations.
We expect that any new coal-fired generation plant built in the
United States will use clean coal-burning technology.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<I>Ash and Moisture Content.</I> Ash is the inorganic residue
remaining after the combustion of coal. As with sulfur content,
ash content varies from seam to seam. Ash content is an
important characteristic of coal because electric generating
plants must handle and dispose of ash following combustion. The
absence of ash is also important to the process by which
metallurgical coal is transformed into coke for use in steel
production. Moisture content of coal varies by the type of coal
and the region where it is mined. In general, high moisture
content decreases the heat value and increases the weight of the
coal, thereby making it more expensive to transport. Moisture
content in coal, as sold, can range from approximately 5% to 30%
of the coal&#146;s weight.

<I>Coking Characteristics.</I> The coking characteristics of
metallurgical coal are typically measured by the coal&#146;s
fluidity, ARNU and volatility. Fluidity and ARNU tests measure
the expansion and contraction of coal when it is heated under
laboratory conditions to determine the strength of coke that
could be produced from a given coal. Typically, higher numbers
on these tests indicate higher coke strength. Volatility refers
to the loss in mass, less moisture, when coal is heated in the
absence of air. The volatility of metallurgical coal determines
the percentage of feed coal that actually becomes coke, known as
coke yield. Coal with a lower volatility produces a higher coke
yield and is more highly valued than coal with a higher
volatility, all other metallurgical characteristics being equal.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
We estimate that, as of July&nbsp;31, 2005, we had total proven
and probable reserves of approximately 492.2&nbsp;million tons.
We believe that our total proven and probable reserves will
support current production levels for more than 25&nbsp;years.
&#147;Reserves&#148; are defined by SEC Industry Guide 7 as that
part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and
legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve
determination. &#147;Proven (Measured) Reserves&#148; are
defined by SEC Industry Guide 7 as reserves for which
(1)&nbsp;quantity is computed from dimensions revealed in
outcrops, trenches, workings or drill holes; grade and/or
quality are computed from the results of detailed sampling and
(2)&nbsp;the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are
spaced so closely and the geologic character is so well defined
that size, shape, depth and mineral content of reserves are
well-established. &#147;Probable reserves&#148; are defined by
SEC Industry Guide 7 as reserves for which quantity and grade
and/or quality are computed from information similar to that
used for proven (measured)&nbsp;reserves, but the sites for
inspection, sampling, and measurement are farther apart or are
otherwise less adequately spaced. The degree of assurance,
although lower than that for proven (measured)&nbsp;reserves, is
high enough to assume continuity between points of observation.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Information about our reserves consists of estimates based on
engineering, economic and geological data assembled and analyzed
by our internal engineers, geologists and finance associates. We
periodically update our reserve estimates to reflect past coal
production, new drilling information and other geological or
mining data, and acquisitions or sales of coal properties. Coal
tonnages are categorized according to coal quality, mining
method, permit status, mineability and location relative to
existing mines and infrastructure. In accordance with applicable
industry standards, proven reserves are those for which reliable
data points are spaced no more than 2,700&nbsp;feet apart.
Probable reserves are those for which reliable data points are
spaced 2,700&nbsp;feet to 7,900&nbsp;feet apart. Further
scrutiny is applied using geological criteria and other factors
related to profitable extraction of the coal. These criteria
include seam height, roof and floor conditions, yield and
marketability.

We periodically retain outside experts to independently verify
our estimates of our coal reserves. The most recent of these
reviews, completed in November 2004, included the preparation of
reserve maps and the development of estimates by certified
professional geologists based on data supplied by us and using
standards accepted by government and industry, including the
methodology outlined in U.S.&nbsp;Geological Survey Circular
891. Reserve estimates were developed using criteria to assure
that the basic geologic characteristics of the reserves (such as
minimum coal thickness and wash recovery, interval between deep
mineable seams and mineable area tonnage for economic
extraction) were in reasonable conformity with existing and
recently completed mine operation capabilities on our various
properties. As a result of this report, we increased our reserve
estimate from 326.5&nbsp;million tons as of January&nbsp;1, 2004
to 514.5&nbsp;million tons as of October&nbsp;15, 2004.

As with most coal-producing companies in Appalachia, the great
majority of our coal reserves are subject to leases from
third-party landowners. These leases convey mining rights to the
coal producer in exchange for a percentage of gross sales in the
form of a royalty payment to the lessor, subject to minimum
payments. A small portion of our reserve holdings

are owned and require no royalty or per-ton payment to other
parties. The average royalties paid by us for coal reserves from
our producing properties was $2.37&nbsp;per ton in 2004,
representing approximately 4% of our 2004 coal sales revenue.

Although our coal leases have varying renewal terms and
conditions, they generally last for the economic life of the
reserves. According to our current mine plans, any leased
reserves assigned to a currently active operation will be mined
during the tenure of the applicable lease. Because the great
majority of our leased or owned properties and mineral rights
are covered by detailed title abstracts prepared when the
respective properties were acquired by predecessors in title to
us and our current lessors, we generally do not thoroughly
verify title to, or maintain title insurance policies on, our
leased or owned properties and mineral rights.

In connection with the Nicewonder Acquisition, we asked Marshall
Miller&nbsp;&#38; Associates (&#147;MM&#38;A&#148;) to prepare a
detailed study of the coal reserves of the Nicewonder Coal Group
based on available geological information. The coal reserve
study conducted by MM&#38;A was planned and performed to obtain
reasonable assurance of the proven and probable coal reserves of
the Nicewonder Coal Group. In connection with the study,
MM&#38;A prepared reserve maps and developed estimates based on
data provided to us by the sellers and using standards accepted
by government and industry. After reviewing such maps and
information, MM&#38;A prepared an independent mapping and
estimate of the proven and probable reserves of the Nicewonder
Coal Group using methodology outlined in U.S.&nbsp;Geological
Survey Circular 891. Reserve estimates were developed using
criteria to assure that the basic geologic characteristics of
the reserves (such as minimum coal thickness and wash recovery,
interval between deep mineable seams and mineable area tonnage
for economic extraction) were in reasonable conformity with
existing and recently completed mine operation capabilities on
our various properties.

Our marketing and sales force, which is principally based in
Latrobe, Pennsylvania, included 30 employees as of
September&nbsp;30, 2005, and consists of sales managers,
distribution/traffic managers and administrative personnel. In
addition to selling coal produced in our seven regional business
units, we are also actively involved in the purchase and resale
of coal mined by others, the majority of which we blend with
coal produced from our mines. We have coal supply commitments
with a wide range of electric utilities, steel manufacturers,
industrial customers and energy traders and brokers. Our overall
sales philosophy is to focus first on the customer&#146;s
individual needs and specifications, as opposed to simply
selling our production inventory. By offering coal of both steam
and metallurgical grades blended to provide specific qualities
of heat content, sulfur and ash and other characteristics
relevant to our customers, we are able to serve a diverse
customer base. This diversity allows us to adjust to changing
market conditions and provides us with the ability to sustain
high sales volumes and sales prices for our coal. Many of our
larger customers are well-established public utilities who have
been customers of ours or our Predecessor and acquired companies
for decades.

We sold a total of 12.2&nbsp;million tons of coal in the first
six months of 2005, consisting of 9.8&nbsp;million tons of
produced and processed coal and 2.4&nbsp;million tons of
purchased coal that we resold without processing. Of our total
purchased coal sales of 3.0 million tons in the first six months
of 2005, approximately 2.2&nbsp;million tons were blended prior
to resale, meaning the coal was mixed with coal produced from
our mines prior to resale, which generally allows us to realize
a higher overall margin for the blended product than we would be
able to achieve selling these coals separately. Approximately
0.6&nbsp;million tons of our purchased coal sales during the
first six months of 2005 were processed by us, meaning we
washed, crushed or blended the coal at one of our preparation
plants or loading facilities prior to resale. We sold a total of
25.3&nbsp;million tons of coal in 2004, consisting of
18.9&nbsp;million tons of produced and processed coal and
6.4&nbsp;million tons of purchased coal that we resold without

Our export shipments during 2004 and 2003 serviced customers in
18 and 11&nbsp;countries, respectively, across North America,
Europe, South America, Asia and Africa. Japan was our largest
export market in 2004 with sales to Japan accounting for
approximately 23% of export revenues and approximately 11% of
total revenues in 2004, while Canada was our largest export
market in 2003, with sales to Canada accounting for
approximately 40% of export revenues and approximately 11% of
total revenues in 2003. All of our sales are made in
U.S.&nbsp;dollars, which reduces foreign currency risk. A
portion of our sales are subject to seasonal fluctuation, with
sales to certain customers being curtailed during the winter
months due to the freezing of lakes that we use to transport
coal to those customers.

As is customary in the coal industry, when market conditions are
appropriate and particularly in the steam coal market, we enter
into long-term contracts (exceeding one year in duration) with
many of our customers. These arrangements allow customers to
secure a supply for their future needs and provide us with
greater predictability of sales volume and sales prices. A
significant majority of our steam coal sales are shipped under
long-term contracts. During 2003, most of our contracts to
supply metallurgical coal were entered into on a one-year
rolling basis or on a current market or spot basis. However, due
to market conditions, the majority of the metallurgical coal
sales contracts we entered into during 2004 were long-term
contracts. Approximately 83% and 55% of our steam and
metallurgical coal sales volume in 2004, respectively, was
delivered pursuant to long-term contracts.

As of October&nbsp;6, 2005, we had contracts to sell
substantially all of our planned 2005 production, including
sales commitments for approximately 21.1&nbsp;million tons, of
which 12.0&nbsp;million tons are steam coal and 9.1&nbsp;million

The terms of our contracts result from bidding and negotiations
with customers. Consequently, the terms of these contracts
typically vary significantly in many respects, including price
adjustment features, provisions permitting renegotiation or
modification of coal sale prices, coal quality requirements,
quantity parameters, flexibility and adjustment mechanisms,
permitted sources of supply, treatment of environmental
constraints, options to extend and force majeure, suspension,
termination and assignment provisions, and provisions regarding
the allocation between the parties of the cost of complying with
future governmental regulations.

We employ transportation specialists who negotiate freight and
terminal agreements with various providers, including railroads,
trucks, barge lines, and terminal facilities. Transportation
specialists also coordinate with customers, mining facilities
and transportation providers to establish shipping schedules
that meet the customer&#146;s needs. Our coal sales of
25.3&nbsp;million tons during 2004 were loaded from our 11
preparation plants and in certain cases directly from our mines
and, in the case of purchased coal, in some cases directly from
mines and preparation plants operated by third parties or from
an export terminal. Virtually all of our coal is transported
from the mine to our preparation plants by truck or rail, and
then from the preparation plant to the customer by means of
railroads, trucks, barge lines and ocean-going vessels from
terminal facilities. Rail shipments constituted approximately
79% of total shipments of captive produced and processed coal
volume from the preparation plant to the customer in 2004. The
balance was shipped from our preparation plants, loadout
facilities or mines via truck. In 2004, approximately 11% of our
coal sales were ultimately delivered to customers through
transport on the Great Lakes, approximately 14% was moved
through the Norfolk Southern export facility at Norfolk,
Virginia, approximately 6% was moved through the coal export
terminal at Newport News, Virginia operated by Dominion Terminal
Associates, and 5% was moved through the export terminal at
Baltimore, Maryland. We own a 32.5% interest in the coal export
terminal at Newport News, Virginia operated by Dominion Terminal
Associates. See &#147;&#151;&nbsp;Other Operations.&#148; Of the
3.7&nbsp;million tons of coal sold by the Nicewonder Coal Group
in 2004, 55% was shipped via the Norfolk Southern Rail, and the
remaining 45% was delivered via truck to other coal companies
for resale.

With respect to our U.S.&nbsp;customers, we compete with
numerous coal producers in the Appalachian region and with a
large number of western coal producers in the markets that we
serve. Competition from coal with lower production costs shipped
east from western coal mines has resulted in increased
competition for coal sales in the Appalachian region. We face
limited competition from imports for our domestic customers. In
2004, only 2.5% of total U.S.&nbsp;coal consumption was
imported. Excess industry capacity, which has occurred in the
past, tends to result in reduced prices for our coal. The most
important factors on which we compete are delivered coal price,
coal quality and characteristics, transportation costs from the
mine to the customer and the reliability of supply. Demand for
coal and the prices that we will be able to obtain for our coal
are closely linked to coal consumption patterns of the domestic
electric generation industry, which has accounted for
approximately 91% of domestic coal consumption over the last
five years. These coal consumption patterns are influenced by
factors beyond our control, including the demand for
electricity, which is significantly dependent upon summer and
winter temperatures in the United States, environmental and
other government regulations, technological developments and the
location, availability, quality and price of competing fuels for
power such as natural gas, nuclear, fuel oil and alternative
energy sources such as hydroelectric power. Demand for our low
sulfur coal and the prices that we will be able to obtain for it
will also be affected by the price and availability of high
sulfur coal, which can be marketed in tandem with emissions
allowances in order to meet Clean Air Act requirements.

Demand for our metallurgical coal and the prices that we will be
able to obtain for metallurgical coal will depend to a large
extent on the demand for U.S. and international steel, which is
influenced by factors beyond our control, including overall
economic activity and the availability and relative cost of
substitute materials. In the export metallurgical market, during
2004 we largely competed with producers from Australia, Canada,
and other international producers of metallurgical coal.

In addition to competition for coal sales in the United States
and internationally, we compete with other coal producers,
particularly in the Appalachian region, for the services of
experienced coal industry employees at all levels of our mining
operations.

<I>Maxxim Rebuild Company.</I> We own Maxxim Rebuild Company,
LLC, a mining equipment company with facilities in Kentucky and
Virginia. This business largely consists of repairing and
reselling equipment and parts used in surface mining and in
supporting preparation plant operations. Maxxim Rebuild had
revenues of $20.8&nbsp;million for 2004, of which approximately
22% was generated by services provided to our other subsidiaries
and approximately 19% was generated by equipment sales to export
customers. As part of our planned acquisition of the Nicewonder

<I>Dominion Terminal Associates.</I> Through our subsidiary
Alpha Terminal Company, LLC, we hold a 32.5% interest in
Dominion Terminal Associates, a 22&nbsp;million-ton annual
capacity coal export terminal located in Newport News, Virginia.
The terminal, constructed in 1982, provides the advantages of
state of the art unloading/transloading equipment with ground
storage capability, providing producers with the ability to
custom blend export products without disrupting mining
operations. During 2004, we shipped a total of 1.4&nbsp;million
tons of coal to our customers through the terminal. We make
periodic cash payments in respect of the terminal for operating
expenses, which are offset by payments we receive for
transportation incentive payments and for renting our unused
storage space in the terminal to third parties. Our cash
payments for expenses for the terminal in 2004 were
$3.3&nbsp;million, partially offset by payments received in 2004
of $1.8&nbsp;million. The terminal is held in a partnership with
subsidiaries of three other companies, Dominion Energy (20%),
Arch Coal (17.5%) and Peabody Energy (30%). Alpha Terminal
Company and its other interested partners are currently pursuing
a $20-$25&nbsp;million investment in the construction of a new
coal import facility at the terminal. Engineering work on the
project should be completed by the end of 2005, at which point
the cost of the project will be submitted to the participating
partners for approval.

declaration that the contract between NCI and the State of West
Virginia related to NCI&#146;s road construction project is
illegal as a violation of applicable West Virginia and federal
competitive bidding and prevailing wage laws. The plaintiff also
is seeking an injunction prohibiting performance of the contract
but has not sought monetary damages. The sellers in the
Nicewonder Acquisition have agreed to indemnify us for any
losses we may incur as a result of this litigation, net of the
net revenues of NCI from post-acquisition coal sales and the
value of certain reserves, surface property and mining equipment
of NCI.

<B>ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER REGULATORY MATTERS</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Federal, state and local authorities regulate the U.S.&nbsp;coal
mining industry with respect to matters such as employee health
and safety, permitting and licensing requirements, air quality
standards, water pollution, plant and wildlife protection, the
reclamation and restoration of mining properties after mining
has been completed, the discharge of materials into the
environment, surface subsidence from underground mining, and the
effects of mining on groundwater quality and availability. These
regulations and legislation have had, and will continue to have,
a significant effect on our production costs and our competitive
position. Future legislation, regulations or orders, as well as
future interpretations and more rigorous enforcement of existing
laws, regulations or orders, may require substantial increases
in equipment and operating costs to us and delays,
interruptions, or a termination of operations, the extent of
which we cannot predict. We intend to respond to these
regulatory requirements at the appropriate time by implementing
necessary modifications to facilities or operating procedures.
Future legislation, regulations or orders may also cause coal to
become a less attractive fuel source, thereby reducing
coal&#146;s share of the market for fuels used to generate
electricity. As a result, future legislation, regulations or
orders may adversely affect our mining operations, cost
structure or the ability of our customers to use coal.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
We endeavor to conduct our mining operations in compliance with
all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
However, because of extensive and comprehensive regulatory
requirements, violations occur from time to time. None of the
violations or the monetary penalties assessed upon us since our
inception in 2002 have been material. Nonetheless, we expect
that future liability under or compliance with environmental and
safety requirements could have a material effect on our
operations or competitive position. Under some circumstances,
substantial fines and penalties, including revocation or
suspension of mining permits, may be imposed under the laws
described below. Monetary sanctions and, in severe
circumstances, criminal sanctions may be imposed for failure to
comply with these laws.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
As of June&nbsp;30, 2005, we had accrued $41.0&nbsp;million for
reclamation liabilities and mine closures, including
$6.7&nbsp;million of current liabilities.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<I>Mining Permits and Approvals.</I> Numerous governmental
permits or approvals are required for mining operations. When we
apply for these permits and approvals, we may be required to
present data to federal, state or local authorities pertaining
to the effect or impact that any proposed production or
processing of coal may have upon the environment. The
requirements imposed by any of these authorities may be costly
and time consuming and may delay commencement or continuation of
mining operations. Regulations also provide that a mining permit
or modification can be delayed, refused or revoked if an
officer, director or a stockholder with a 10% or greater
interest in the entity is affiliated with or is in a position to
control another entity that has outstanding permit violations.
Thus, past or ongoing violations of federal and state mining
laws could provide a basis to revoke existing permits and to
deny the issuance of additional permits.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
In order to obtain mining permits and approvals from state
regulatory authorities, mine operators, including us, must
submit a reclamation plan for restoring, upon the completion of
mining operations, the mined property to its prior or better
condition, productive use or other permitted condition.
Typically, we submit our necessary permit applications several
months, or even years, before we plan to begin mining a new
area. Although permits may take six months or longer to obtain,
in the past we have generally obtained our mining permits
without significant delay. However, we cannot be sure that we
will not experience difficulty in obtaining mining permits in
the future.

<I>Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act.</I> The Surface
Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (&#147;SMCRA&#148;),
which is administered by the Office of Surface Mining
Reclamation and Enforcement (&#147;OSM&#148;), establishes
mining, environmental protection and reclamation standards for
all aspects of surface mining as well as many aspects of deep
mining. Mine operators must obtain SMCRA permits and permit
renewals from the OSM or the applicable state agency. Where
state regulatory agencies have adopted federal mining programs
under SMCRA, the state becomes the regulatory authority. States
in which we have active mining operations have achieved primary
control of enforcement through federal authorization.

SMCRA permit provisions include a complex set of requirements
which include:&nbsp;coal prospecting; mine plan development;
topsoil removal, storage and replacement; selective handling of
overburden materials; mine pit backfilling and grading;
protection of the hydrologic balance; subsidence control for
underground mines; surface drainage control; mine drainage and
mine discharge control and treatment; and re-vegetation.

The mining permit application process is initiated by collecting
baseline data to adequately characterize the pre-mine
environmental condition of the permit area. This work includes
surveys of cultural and historical resources, soils, vegetation,

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt;">
wildlife, assessment of surface and ground water hydrology,
climatology, and wetlands. In conducting this work, we collect
geologic data to define and model the soil and rock structures
and coal that we will mine. We develop mining and reclamation
plans by utilizing this geologic data and incorporating elements
of the environmental data. The mining and reclamation plan
incorporates the provisions of SMCRA, the state programs, and
the complementary environmental programs that affect coal
mining. Also included in the permit application are documents
defining ownership and agreements pertaining to coal, minerals,
oil and gas, water rights, rights of way and surface land, and
documents required of the OSM&#146;s Applicant Violator System,
including the mining and compliance history of officers,
directors and principal owners of the entity.

Once a permit application is prepared and submitted to the
regulatory agency, it goes through a completeness review and
technical review. Public notice of the proposed permit is given
that also provides for a comment period before a permit can be
issued. Some SMCRA mine permits take over a year to prepare,
depending on the size and complexity of the mine and may take
six months to two years or even longer to be issued. Regulatory
authorities have considerable discretion in the timing of the
permit issuance and the public and other agencies have rights to
comment on and otherwise engage in the permitting process,
including through intervention in the courts.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Before a SMCRA permit is issued, a mine operator must submit a
bond or otherwise secure the performance of reclamation
obligations. The Abandoned Mine Land Fund, which is part of
SMCRA, requires a fee on all coal produced. The proceeds are
used to reclaim mine lands closed or abandoned prior to
SMCRA&#146;s adoption in 1977. The current fee is $0.35&nbsp;per
ton on surface-mined coal and $0.15&nbsp;per ton on deep-mined
coal, but tax rate revisions are currently pending. On
April&nbsp;4, 2005, the United States Court of Federal Claims
ruled that this fee is unconstitutional to the extent it is
levied on exported coal. We do not know whether the
U.S.&nbsp;government will appeal this ruling.

SMCRA stipulates compliance with many other major environmental
statutes, including: the Clean Air Act; Clean Water Act;
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (&#147;RCRA&#148;) and
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Act (&#147;CERCLA&#148; or &#147;Superfund&#148;).

<I>Surety Bonds.</I> Federal and state laws require us to obtain
surety bonds to secure payment of certain long-term obligations
including mine closure or reclamation costs, federal and state
workers&#146; compensation costs, coal leases and other
miscellaneous obligations. Many of these bonds are renewable on
a yearly basis. Surety bond costs have increased in recent years
while the market terms of surety bonds have generally become
more unfavorable. In addition, the number of companies willing
to issue surety bonds has decreased. We have a committed bonding
facility with Travelers Casualty and Surety Company of America,
pursuant to which it has agreed, subject to certain conditions,
to issue surety bonds on our behalf in a maximum amount of
$125.0&nbsp;million. As of June&nbsp;30, 2005, we have posted an
aggregate of $96.0&nbsp;million in reclamation bonds and
$8.6&nbsp;million of other types of bonds under this facility.
In connection with our planned acquisition of the Nicewonder
Coal Group, we will amend our bonding facility with Travelers to
increase the maximum bonding amount to $150.0&nbsp;million. On a
pro forma basis giving effect to the Nicewonder Acquisition, we
would have posted an aggregate of $107.8&nbsp;million in
reclamation bonds under this facility as of June&nbsp;30, 2005.

<I>Clean Air Act.</I> The Clean Air Act and comparable state
laws that regulate air emissions affect coal mining operations
both directly and indirectly. Direct impacts on coal mining and
processing operations may occur through Clean Air Act permitting
requirements and/or emission control requirements relating to
particulate matter, such as fugitive dust, including future
regulation of fine particulate matter measuring 2.5 micrometers
in diameter or smaller. The Clean Air Act indirectly affects
coal mining operations by extensively regulating the air
emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, mercury and other
compounds emitted by coal-fired electricity generating plants.
The general effect of this extensive regulation of emissions
from coal-fired power plants could be to reduce demand for coal.

    <I>Fine Particulate Matter and Ozone.</I> The Clean Air Act
    requires the U.S.&nbsp;Environmental Protection Agency (the
    &#147;EPA&#148;) to set standards, referred to as National
    Ambient Air Quality Standards (&#147;NAAQS&#148;), for certain
    pollutants. Areas that are not in compliance (referred to as
    &#147;non-attainment areas&#148;) with these standards must take
    steps to reduce emissions levels. In 1997, the EPA revised the
    NAAQS for particulate matter and ozone. Although previously
    subject to legal challenge, these revisions were subsequently
    upheld but implementation was delayed for several years. For
    ozone, these changes include replacement of the existing
    one-hour average standard with a more stringent eight-hour
    average standard. On April&nbsp;15, 2004, the EPA announced that
    counties in 32&nbsp;states fail to meet the new eight-hour
    standard for ozone. States that fail to meet the new standard
    will have until June 2007 to develop plans for pollution control
    measures that allow them to come into compliance with the
    standards. For particulates, the changes include retaining the
    existing standard for particulate matter with an aerodynamic
    diameter less than or equal to 10 microns (&#147;PM10&#148;),
    and adding a new standard for fine particulate matter with an
    aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 2.5 microns
    (&#147;PM2.5&#148;). State fine particulate non-attainment
    designations were promulgated by the EPA on January&nbsp;5,
    2005. On March&nbsp;7, 2005, a number of entities filed an
    appeal of the non-attainment designations in the United States
    Federal Court for the D.C. Circuit. On May&nbsp;12, the court
    ordered the case held in abeyance and directed the EPA to file
    90-day status reports. Following identification of
    non-attainment areas, each individual state will identify the
    sources of emissions and develop emission reduction plans. These
    plans may be state-specific or regional in scope. Under the
    Clean Air Act, individual states have up to twelve years from
    the date of designation to secure emissions reductions from
    sources contributing to the problem. Meeting the new PM2.5
    standard may require reductions of nitrogen oxide and sulfur
    dioxide emissions. Future regulation and enforcement of these
    new ozone and PM2.5 standards will affect many power plants,
    especially coal-fired plants and all plants in
    &#147;non-attainment&#148; areas.</TD>

    the EPA in October of 1998 to reduce the transport of ozone on
    prevailing winds from the Midwest and South to states in the
    Northeast, which said they could not meet federal air quality
    standards because of migrating pollution. Under Phase&nbsp;I of
    the program, the EPA is requiring 90,000 tons of nitrogen oxides
    reductions from power plants in 22&nbsp;states east of the
    Mississippi River and the District of Columbia beginning in May
    2004. Phase&nbsp;II of the program, which became effective
    June&nbsp;21, 2004, requires a further reduction of about
    100,000 tons of nitrogen oxides per year by May&nbsp;1, 2007.
    Installation of additional control measures, such as selective

    the EPA issued the Clean Air Mercury Rule, originally proposed

    reduce mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants. The Clean
    Air Mercury Rule establishes mercury emissions limits from new
    and existing coal-fired power plants and creates a market-based
    cap-and-trade program that is expected to reduce nationwide
    utility emissions of mercury in two phases. The cap on mercury
    emissions during the first phase is 38 tons. To the extent
    mercury emissions are required to be reduced during the first

    reductions achieved by reducing sulfur dioxide and nitrogen

<I>Clean Water Act.</I> The Clean Water Act of 1972 (the
&#147;CWA&#148;) and corresponding state laws affect coal mining
operations by imposing restrictions on the discharge of certain
pollutants into water and on dredging and filling wetlands. The
CWA establishes in-stream water quality standards and treatment
standards for wastewater discharge through the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (&#147;NPDES&#148;).
Regular monitoring, as well as compliance with reporting
requirements and performance standards, are preconditions for
the issuance and renewal of NPDES permits that govern the
discharge of pollutants into water.

Permits under Section&nbsp;404 of the CWA are required for coal
companies to conduct dredging or filling activities in
jurisdictional waters for the purpose of creating slurry ponds,
water impoundments, refuse areas, valley fills or other mining
activities. Jurisdictional waters typically include ephemeral,
intermittent, and perennial streams and may in certain instances
include man-made conveyances that have a hydrologic connection
to a stream or wetland. Presently, under the SMCRA Stream Buffer
Zone Rule, mining disturbances are prohibited within
100&nbsp;feet of streams if negative effects on water quality
are expected. OSM has proposed changes to this rule, which would
make exemptions available if mine operators take steps to reduce
the amount of waste and its effect on nearby waters.

mining activities into the waters of the United States. On
October&nbsp;23, 2003, several citizens groups sued the COE in
the U.S.&nbsp;District Court for the Southern District of West
Virginia seeking to invalidate &#147;nationwide&#148; permits
utilized by the COE and the coal industry for permitting most
in-stream disturbances associated with coal mining, including
excess spoil valley fills and refuse impoundments. The
plaintiffs sought to enjoin the prospective approval of these
nationwide permits and to enjoin some coal operators from
additional use of existing nationwide permit approvals until
they obtain more detailed &#147;individual&#148; permits. On
July&nbsp;8, 2004, the court issued an order enjoining the
further issuance of Nationwide 21&nbsp;permits and rescinded
certain listed permits where construction of valley fills and
surface impoundments had not commenced. On August&nbsp;13, 2004,
the court extended the ruling to all Nationwide 21&nbsp;permits
within the Southern District of West Virginia. Although Alpha
had no operations that were interrupted, this decision required
us to convert certain ongoing and planned applications for
Nationwide 21 permits to applications for individual permits. A
similar lawsuit was filed on January&nbsp;27, 2005 in the
U.S.&nbsp;District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky,
and other lawsuits may be filed in other states where Alpha

Total Maximum Daily Load (&#147;TMDL&#148;) regulations
established a process by which states designate stream segments
as impaired (not meeting present water quality standards).
Industrial dischargers, including coal mines, will be required
to meet new TMDL effluent standards for these stream segments.
Some of our operations currently discharge effluents into stream
segments that have been designated as impaired. The adoption of
new TMDL related effluent limitations for our coal mines could
require more costly water treatment and could adversely affect
our coal production.

Under the CWA, states must conduct an anti-degradation review
before approving permits for the discharge of pollutants to
waters that have been designated as high quality. A state&#146;s
anti-degradation regulations would prohibit the diminution of
water quality in these streams. Several environmental groups and
individuals recently challenged, and in part successfully, West
Virginia&#146;s anti-degradation policy. In general, waters
discharged from coal mines to high quality streams will be
required to meet or exceed new &#147;high quality&#148;
standards. This could cause increases in the costs, time and
difficulty associated with obtaining and complying with NPDES
permits, and could aversely affect our coal production.

<I>Mine Safety and Health.</I> Stringent health and safety
standards have been in effect since Congress enacted the Coal
Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969. The Federal Mine Safety and
Health Act of 1977 significantly expanded the enforcement of
safety and health standards and imposed safety and health
standards on all aspects of mining operations. All of the states
in which we operate have state programs for mine safety and
health regulation and enforcement. Collectively, federal and
state safety and health regulation in the coal mining industry
is perhaps the most comprehensive and pervasive system for
protection of employee health and safety affecting any segment
of U.S.&nbsp;industry. While this regulation has a significant
effect on our operating costs, our U.S.&nbsp;competitors are
subject to the same degree of regulation.

Under the Black Lung Benefits Revenue Act of 1977 and the Black
Lung Benefits Reform Act of 1977, as amended in 1981, each coal
mine operator must secure payment of federal black lung benefits
to claimants who are current and former employees and to a trust
fund for the payment of benefits and medical expenses to
claimants who last worked in the coal industry prior to
July&nbsp;1, 1973. The trust fund is funded by an excise tax on
production of up to $1.10&nbsp;per ton for deep-mined coal and
up to $0.55&nbsp;per ton for surface-mined coal, neither amount
to exceed 4.4% of the gross sales price. The excise tax does not
apply to coal shipped outside the United States. In 2004, we
recorded $12.6&nbsp;million of expense related to this excise
tax.

1992 (the &#147;Coal Act&#148;), which requires the payment of
substantial sums to provide lifetime health benefits to
union-represented miners (and their dependents) who retired
before 1992, because liabilities under the Coal Act that had
been imposed on our Predecessor or acquired companies were
retained by the sellers and, if applicable, their parent
companies, in the applicable acquisition agreements. We should
not be liable for these liabilities retained by the sellers
unless they and, if applicable, their parent companies, fail to

<I>Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.</I> The RCRA affects
coal mining operations by establishing requirements for the
treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous wastes. Certain
coal mine wastes, such as overburden and coal cleaning wastes,
are exempted from hazardous waste management.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Subtitle&nbsp;C of RCRA exempted fossil fuel combustion wastes
from hazardous waste regulation until the EPA completed a report
to Congress and made a determination on whether the wastes
should be regulated as hazardous. In a 1993 regulatory
determination, the EPA addressed some high volume-low toxicity
coal combustion wastes generated at electric utility and
independent power producing facilities, such as coal ash. In May
2000, the EPA concluded that coal combustion wastes do not
warrant regulation as hazardous under RCRA. The EPA is retaining
the hazardous waste exemption for these wastes. However, the EPA
has determined that national non-hazardous waste regulations
under RCRA Subtitle D are needed for coal combustion wastes
disposed in surface impoundments and landfills and used as
mine-fill. The agency also concluded beneficial uses of these
wastes, other than for mine-filling, pose no significant risk
and no additional national regulations are needed. As long as
this exemption remains in effect, it is not anticipated that
regulation of coal combustion waste will have any material
effect on the amount of coal used by electricity generators.
Most state hazardous waste laws also exempt coal combustion
waste, and instead treat it as either a solid waste or a special
waste. Any costs associated with handling or disposal of
hazardous wastes would increase our customers&#146; operating
costs and potentially reduce their ability to purchase coal. In
addition, contamination caused by the past disposal of ash can
lead to material liability.

Due to the hazardous waste exemption for coal combustion waste
such as ash, much coal combustion waste is currently put to
beneficial use. For example, in one Pennsylvania mine from which
we have the right to receive coal, we have used some ash as mine
fill. The ash we use for this purpose is mixed with lime and
serves to help alleviate the potential for acid mine drainage.

<I>Federal and State Superfund Statutes.</I> Superfund and
similar state laws affect coal mining and hard rock operations
by creating liability for investigation and remediation in
response to releases of hazardous substances into the
environment and for damages to natural resources. Under
Superfund, joint and several liabilities may be imposed on waste
generators, site owners or operators and others regardless of
fault. In addition, mining operations may have reporting
obligations under the Emergency Planning and Community Right to
Know Act and the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act.

<I>Climate Change.</I> One major by-product of burning coal is
carbon dioxide, which is considered a greenhouse gas and is a
major source of concern with respect to global warming. In
November 2004, Russia ratified the Kyoto Protocol to the 1992
Framework Convention on Global Climate Change (the
&#147;Protocol&#148;), which establishes a binding set of
emission targets for greenhouse gases. With Russia&#146;s
accedence, the Protocol now has sufficient support and became
binding on all those countries that have ratified it on
February&nbsp;16, 2005. Four industrialized nations have refused
to ratify the Protocol&nbsp;&#151; Australia, Liechtenstein,
Monaco, and the United States. Although the targets vary from
country to country, if the United States were to ratify the
Protocol our nation would be required to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions to 93% of 1990 levels from 2008 to 2012. Canada, which
accounted for 6% of our sales volume in 2004, ratified the
Protocol in 2002. Under the Protocol, Canada will be required to
cut greenhouse gas emissions to 6% below 1990 levels in 2008 to
2012, either in direct reductions in emissions or by obtaining
credits through the Protocol&#146;s market mechanisms. This
could result in reduced demand for coal by Canadian electric
power generators.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Future regulation of greenhouse gases in the United States could
occur pursuant to future U.S.&nbsp;treaty obligations, statutory
or regulatory changes under the Clean Air Act, or otherwise. The
Bush Administration has proposed a package of voluntary emission
reductions for greenhouse gases reduction targets which provide
for certain incentives if targets are met. Some states, such as
Massachusetts, have already issued regulations regulating
greenhouse gas emissions from large power plants. Further, in
2002, the Conference of New England Governors and Eastern
Canadian Premiers adopted a Climate Change Action Plan, calling
for reduction in regional greenhouse emissions to 1990 levels by
2010, and a further reduction of at least 10% below 1990 levels
by 2020. Increased efforts to control greenhouse gas emissions,
including the future ratification of the Protocol by the U.S.,
could result in reduced demand for coal.

Under the New York Stock Exchange (&#147;NYSE&#148;) rules, we
were required to have a majority of independent directors on our
board of directors and to have our compensation and nominating/
corporate governance committees be comprised entirely of
independent directors by February&nbsp;14, 2006. In addition,
the NYSE rules and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and rules
thereunder adopted by the SEC require us to have our audit
committee be comprised entirely of independent directors by
February&nbsp;14, 2006.

The nominating and corporate governance committee undertook an
annual review of director and director-nominee independence in
March 2005. The purpose of this review was to determine whether
any relationships or transactions involving the directors and
director-nominees, their family members and affiliates were
inconsistent with a determination that the director or director
nominee is independent under the independence standards in the
rules of the NYSE. Based on that review, our board of directors
has determined that each of E. Linn Draper,&nbsp;Jr. Glenn A.
Eisenberg and John W. Fox,&nbsp;Jr. qualify as
&#147;independent&#148; under the general independence standards
in the NYSE rules.

In connection with our Internal Restructuring our board of

originally adopted by ANR Holdings in November 2004. The Bonus

receive cash bonus payments with respect to a specific
performance period (for example, our fiscal year).

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt;">
Bonuses of up to 200% of a participant&#146;s base salary are
payable under the Bonus Plan upon the achievement of certain
pre-established performance goals. Performance goals include
operational goals such as safety, productivity, other strategic
objectives and individual performance goals, plus financial
measures. Financial measures that form the basis for performance
goals may include any of the following with respect to us or any
of our subsidiaries, divisions or business units: earnings,
operating earnings, earnings per share, operating earnings per
share, earnings before interest taxes depreciation and
amortization, revenues, stockholders&#146; equity, return on
equity, return on assets, return on invested capital, economic
value added, operating margins, cash flow, total stockholder
return, expenses, debt-to-capital ratio or market share. The
maximum amount that any one participant may receive under the
Bonus Plan in any fiscal year is $10,000,000.

The Bonus Plan is intended to provide an incentive for business
performance, reward contributions towards goals consistent with
our business strategy and enable us to attract and retain highly
qualified executive officers and key employees. The Bonus Plan
will generally be administered by our compensation committee or
a subcommittee of the compensation committee charged with
administering the Bonus Plan, whose determination on all matters
relating to the Bonus Plan will be final and binding. At the
beginning of each year, the committee will select the eligible
participants in the Bonus Plan, establish the performance goals
for the performance period being established in that year for a
participant or group of participants, determine target incentive
bonuses for the participants and, at the end of each performance
period, the committee will certify that the performance goals
have been met with respect to the given performance period. The
compensation committee or subcommittee charged with
administering the Bonus Plan or our board of directors, may
amend, suspend or terminate the Bonus Plan at any time in its
sole discretion.

Pursuant to our stockholder agreement, an aggregate of
1,344,930&nbsp;shares of Common Stock held by our executives as

The stockholder agreement provides that an executive holding

as defined in the stockholder agreement, or who voluntarily
terminates his employment will forfeit all of the unvested
shares if the termination is prior to December&nbsp;31, 2005 and
one half of the unvested shares if the termination is after
December&nbsp;31, 2005 and prior to December&nbsp;31, 2006. The
stockholder agreement also provides that an executive holding
unvested shares whose employment is terminated by us without
cause, or due to retirement, death or disability, will become
vested upon termination in a percentage of the total shares
initially subject to vesting equal to the number of full
calendar months then elapsed since December&nbsp;31, 2004

vesting of all unvested shares will accelerate upon a change of

In November 2004, the board of directors of Alpha Coal
Management adopted, and its members approved, the Alpha Coal
Management LLC 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the &#147;Alpha
Coal Management Long-Term Incentive Plan&#148;) to provide
equity incentive compensation to those key employees and others
who make significant contributions to the strategic and
long-term performance objectives and growth of Alpha. On
November&nbsp;10, 2004, Alpha Coal Management granted options to
purchase&nbsp;800,000&nbsp;units of Alpha Coal Management to 22
members of Alpha&#146;s management team under the Alpha Coal
Management Long-Term Incentive Plan. Among our executive
officers, only Michael D. Brown, Vaughn R. Groves and Eddie W.
Neely were granted options under the Alpha Coal Management
Long-Term Incentive Plan. These options vest over a period of
five years (with accelerated vesting upon a change of control of
Alpha) and have a term of ten years. In connection with this
grant of options, Alpha Coal Management entered into a letter
agreement with ANR Holdings pursuant to which ANR Holdings
agreed to issue to Alpha Coal Management additional membership
interests representing sharing ratios in an aggregate amount
equal to 1% of the outstanding membership interests upon
exercise of awards granted by Alpha Coal Management under the
Alpha Coal Management Long-Term Incentive Plan. Pursuant to the
terms of the Internal Restructuring Agreement, this plan was
amended and restated, the outstanding options to purchase units
of Alpha Coal Management were automatically converted into
options to purchase shares of our common stock and we assumed
the obligations of Alpha Coal Management pursuant to this plan.

Following our assumption of the Amended and Restated Alpha Coal
Management LLC 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan in connection with
the Internal Restructuring, the plan is administered on the same
basis and subject to the same regulation as our Long-Term
Incentive Plan as described under &#147;Alpha Natural Resources,

In connection with the Internal Restructuring, we adopted, and
our stockholders approved, the Alpha Natural Resources, Inc.
Long-Term Incentive Plan (the &#147;Long-Term Incentive
Plan&#148;). The principal purpose of the Long-Term Incentive
Plan is to attract, motivate, reward and retain selected
employees, consultants and directors through the granting of
stock-based compensation awards. The Long-Term Incentive Plan
provides for a variety of awards, including non-qualified stock
options, incentive stock options (within the meaning of
Section&nbsp;422 of the Code), stock appreciation rights,
restricted stock awards, dividend equivalents, performance-based
awards and other stock-based awards.

<I>Administration.</I> The Long-Term Incentive Plan is
administered by our board of directors, and the board has
delegated administration to the compensation committee which has
further delegated administration to the Section&nbsp;162(m)
subcommittee of the compensation committee. The board or the
committee may in certain circumstances delegate administration
of the plan to one or more of Alpha&#146;s officers. The board
of directors or the committee, if so empowered, has the power to
interpret the Long-Term Incentive Plan and to adopt rules for
the administration, interpretation and application of the plan
according to its terms.

<I>Grant of Awards; Shares Available for Awards.</I> Certain
employees, consultants and directors are eligible to be granted
awards under the plan. The board of directors, or the committee
if so empowered, will determine who will receive awards under
the plan, as well as the form of the awards, the number of
shares underlying the awards, and the terms and conditions of
the awards consistent with the terms of the plan.

The total number of shares of our common stock initially
available for issuance or delivery under our Long-Term Incentive
Plan is 3,338,841&nbsp;shares, and the maximum number of shares
that may be subject to awards made to any one plan participant
in any fiscal year will be 2,000,000&nbsp;shares. As of
September&nbsp;15, 2005, we have issued 12,000&nbsp;shares of
our common stock pursuant to restricted stock awards under the
Long-Term Incentive Plan, and 742,905&nbsp;shares of our common
stock are subject to outstanding options granted under the
Long-Term Incentive Plan. The number of shares of our common
stock issued or reserved pursuant to the Long-Term Incentive
Plan is subject, at the discretion of the board of directors (or
the committee if so empowered), to adjustment as a result of
stock splits, stock dividends and similar changes in our common
stock.

<I>Stock Options.</I> The Long-Term Incentive Plan permits the
board of directors, or the committee if so empowered, to grant
participants incentive stock options, which qualify for special
tax treatment in the United States, as well as non-qualified
stock options. The board, or the committee if so empowered, will
establish the duration of each option at the time it is granted,
with a maximum ten-year duration for incentive stock options,
and may also establish vesting and performance requirements that
must be met prior to the exercise of options. Stock option
grants (other than incentive stock option grants) also may have
exercise prices that are less than, equal to or greater than the
fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.
Incentive stock options must have an exercise price that is at
least equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the
date of grant.

Stock option grants may include provisions that permit the
option holder to exercise all or part of the holder&#146;s
vested options, or to satisfy withholding tax liabilities, by
tendering shares of common stock already owned by the option
holder for at least six months (or another period consistent
with the applicable accounting rules) with a fair market value
equal to the exercise price.

<I>Stock Appreciation Rights.</I> The board of directors, or the
committee if so empowered, may also grant stock appreciation
rights, either alone or in tandem with underlying stock options
or other awards, which will be exercisable upon the occurrence
of certain contingent events. Stock appreciation rights entitle
the holder upon exercise to receive an amount in any combination
of cash, shares of our common stock (as determined by the
committee) equal in value to the excess of

<I>Other Equity-Based Awards.</I> In addition to stock options
and stock appreciation rights, the board of directors, or the
committee if so empowered, may also grant to certain employees,
consultants and directors shares of restricted stock, restricted
stock rights, dividend equivalents, performance-based awards or
other stock-based awards, with terms and conditions as the board
of directors (or, if applicable, the committee) may, pursuant to
the terms of the Long-Term Incentive Plan, establish. The
Long-Term Incentive Plan also allows awards to be made in
conjunction with a participant&#146;s election to defer
compensation. The maximum amount that any one participant may
receive with respect to awards under the Long-Term Incentive
Plan in any fiscal year in cash or any other form of property
other than shares of our common stock is $10,000,000.

<I>Change-in-Control Provisions.</I> In connection with the
grant of an award, the board of directors, or the committee if
so empowered, may provide that, in the event of a change in
control of Alpha, any outstanding awards that are unexercisable
or otherwise unvested will become fully vested and immediately
exercisable. In addition, the committee may, in its sole
discretion, provide for the termination of an award upon the
consummation of the change in control and the payment of a cash
amount in exchange for the cancellation of an award, and/or the
issuance of substitute awards that will substantially preserve
the otherwise applicable terms of any affected award.

<I>Amendment and Termination.</I> Our board of directors, or the
committee if so empowered, may adopt, amend and rescind rules
relating to the administration of the Long-Term Incentive Plan,
and amend, suspend or terminate the Long-Term Incentive Plan,
but no amendment will be made that adversely affects in a
material manner any rights of the holder of any award without
the holder&#146;s consent, other than amendments that are
necessary to permit the granting of awards in compliance with
applicable laws. We have attempted to structure the Long-Term
Incentive Plan so that remuneration attributable to stock
options and other awards will not be subject to a deduction
limitation contained in Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Code.

    owner&#148; of a security if that person has or shares voting
    power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of
    such security, or investment power, which includes the power to
    dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A
    person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities
    of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership
    within 60&nbsp;days. Securities that can be so acquired are
    deemed to be outstanding for purposes of computing such
    person&#146;s ownership percentage, but not for purposes of
    computing any other person&#146;s percentage. Under these rules,
    more than one person may be deemed beneficial owner of the same
    securities and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner
    of securities as to which such person has no economic interest.
    Except as otherwise indicated in these footnotes, each of the

We were formed and wholly owned by First Reserve, one of our
Sponsors, in 2002. As part of our formation and our acquisition
of our Predecessor in December 2002, First Reserve loaned us
$24.0&nbsp;million for which we paid First Reserve
$0.3&nbsp;million in fees in 2002 and for which we incurred
interest expense of $2.6&nbsp;million and $144,000 during 2003
and 2002, respectively. The loan was contributed to our capital
in 2003.

On November&nbsp;17, 2003, First Reserve loaned us
$30.0&nbsp;million to fund the purchase price of the Mears
acquisition. We repaid all outstanding principal and interest on
this loan during December 2003.

In connection with our acquisition of U.S.&nbsp;AMCI
(&#147;U.S.&nbsp;AMCI&#148;), certain affiliates of AMCI entered
into an agreement with Michael J. Quillen, a member of our board
of directors and our President and Chief Executive Officer,
pursuant to which they paid Mr.&nbsp;Quillen $194,000 in 2003,
$250,000 in 2004 and have agreed to pay Mr.&nbsp;Quillen
$250,000 in 2005 in respect of compensation deferred from his
prior employment with U.S.&nbsp;AMCI. The purpose of this
agreement was in part to recognize Mr.&nbsp;Quillen&#146;s
efforts in connection with our acquisition of U.S.&nbsp;AMCI.

Also at the time of the U.S.&nbsp;AMCI acquisition and in
further recognition of Mr.&nbsp;Quillen&#146;s efforts in
connection with the development and growth of U.S.&nbsp;AMCI
over the previous five years and the contribution of
U.S.&nbsp;AMCI to us, Hans J. Mende and Fritz R. Kundrun, who
are members of our board of directors, and D. Scott Kroh, our
Executive Vice President (the &#147;AMCI Owners&#148;) entered
into an incentive agreement with Mr.&nbsp;Quillen. Under this
incentive agreement, as amended, the AMCI Owners agreed to
compensate Mr.&nbsp;Quillen upon our repayment of indebtedness
that we incurred to our stockholders in connection with our
Internal Restructuring, any sale or disposition by the AMCI
Owners of our common stock received by them in the Internal
Restructuring or any merger or consolidation of us with a third
party or sale of all or substantially all of our assets to an
unaffiliated party. The amount of the payment to
Mr.&nbsp;Quillen under this incentive agreement will be equal to
5% of the net amount, if any, by which the value of the
consideration received by the AMCI Owners exceeds an agreed upon
net value of their interest in ANR Holdings at the time of the
U.S.&nbsp;AMCI acquisition, minus 5% of certain of the AMCI
Owners&#146; expenses for the transaction for which
Mr.&nbsp;Quillen is paid. Mr.&nbsp;Quillen received a payment of
approximately $22.9&nbsp;million under the incentive agreement
as a result of our repayment of indebtedness to our
stockholders, including the AMCI Owners, in connection with our
initial public offering. The incentive agreement terminates on
the earlier to occur of March&nbsp;11, 2010 and one year after
the date Mr.&nbsp;Quillen ceases to be an officer or employee of
ANR Holdings or any of its subsidiary or affiliated companies.
In the event that the AMCI Owners have not transferred all of
our common stock received by them in the Internal Restructuring
in one or more transactions of the type listed above by
March&nbsp;11, 2010, the AMCI Owners have agreed to pay
Mr.&nbsp;Quillen consideration equal to 5% of the amount by
which the agreed or appraised fair market value of common stock
on that date exceeds the agreed upon value referred to above.

2005 to August&nbsp;31, 2005, we paid an aggregate of
$0.2&nbsp;million, $0.8&nbsp;million and $0.7&nbsp;million,
respectively, to Robindale as payment for trucking services and

agreement with certain affiliates of AMCI (the &#147;AMCI

Parties agreed to contribute their North American coal

$53.9&nbsp;million in cash, the issuance by ANR Holdings of
44.3473% of its common sharing ratios, and 44.4903% of its
preferred sharing ratios, and the assumption by certain of our
subsidiaries of various liabilities. Messrs.&nbsp;Mende, Kundrun
and Kroh control the AMCI Parties. The contribution agreement
included customary seller representations and warranties,
customary covenants and other agreements among the AMCI parties,
First Reserve and us and provides for indemnification for losses
relating to specified events, circumstances and matters. The
indemnification arrangements permit, under certain
circumstances, the transfer by certain of the AMCI Parties to

<I>Solomons Mining Company.</I> In conjunction with the
U.S.&nbsp;AMCI acquisition, we agreed with the AMCI Parties to
operate Solomons Mining Company (&#147;Solomons&#148;), one of
the companies included in U.S.&nbsp;AMCI, for the account of the
AMCI Parties until the time Solomons could be sold, and the AMCI
parties agreed to indemnify us for all liabilities associated
with the operation of Solomons. We also agreed that, upon the
disposition of Solomons, we would pay to the AMCI Parties
$5.0&nbsp;million in cash (which we withheld in connection with
the contribution transaction to fund Solomons&#146; operating
losses), plus the net proceeds of the sale of Solomons, plus the
cumulative profits or less the cumulative operating losses of
Solomons from the date of our acquisition of U.S.&nbsp;AMCI to
the date of sale of Solomons, less the actual costs incurred by
ANR Holdings in managing Solomons. On September&nbsp;2, 2003,
substantially all of the assets of Solomons and cash were
transferred to the lessor of Solomons&#146; mining properties in
connection with the settlement of a lease dispute with the
lessor. At that time, ANR Holdings, First Reserve and the AMCI
Parties agreed that Solomons would advance to the lessor for the
account of the AMCI Parties an aggregate of $3.1&nbsp;million in
cash in installments, by applying a portion of the withheld
funds and a portion of the tax distributions that we would
otherwise have made to the AMCI Parties under the ANR Holdings
company agreement. The AMCI Parties also agreed to provide to us
an additional $1.0&nbsp;million to be used to pay operating
expenses. This agreement also provides that should the AMCI
Parties fail to perform any of their payment obligations, then
First Reserve would have the right (but not the obligation) to
purchase membership interests in ANR Holdings held by the AMCI
Parties having a fair market value, as of March&nbsp;11, 2003,
equal to the payment the AMCI Parties failed to make. This right
to purchase was terminated in connection with the Internal
Restructuring.

As part of the arrangement to operate Solomons, we entered into
an agreement to purchase from a third party and for the account
of the AMCI Parties 350,000 tons of coal at various times from
April 2004 through November 2005 (the &#147;Coal Supply
Agreement&#148;). On April&nbsp;22, 2004, ANR Holdings, First
Reserve and the AMCI Parties entered into an agreement (the
&#147;April 2004 Agreement&#148;), under which we take the coal
to be delivered under the Coal Supply Agreement and pay to the
AMCI Parties the difference between the agreed fair market value
of the coal as of the date of the April 2004 Agreement
($54.50&nbsp;per ton), and the price to be paid to the third
party under the Coal Supply Agreement ($34.50&nbsp;per ton). We
have withheld, and will continue to withhold, up to 40% of the
net proceeds to fund Solomons&#146; reclamation obligations and
any other Solomons&#146; liabilities for which the AMCI Parties
agreed to provide indemnification. With the exception of
reclamation obligations and any future claims by the lessor
referred to above, the amounts withheld will be our exclusive
recourse against the AMCI Parties for this indemnification. As
of September&nbsp;30, 2005, the third party had shipped 355,264
tons of coal pursuant to the Coal Supply Agreement, and they are
expected to continue to ship coal through November 2005. Because
the third party has satisfied its delivery obligations under the
Coal Supply Agreement, the AMCI Parties will not be obligated to
fund certain of the payments that could otherwise be due to ANR
Holdings under the September&nbsp;2, 2003 agreement with ANR
Holdings and First Reserve. We believe that the sources of
indemnification available to us, which include the amounts
withheld under the Coal Supply Agreement and recourse to certain
of the AMCI Parties for matters related to reclamation and
future claims by the lessor, will be sufficient to satisfy

NRP is our largest landlord based on the aggregate of
$16.0&nbsp;million, $20.2&nbsp;million and $7.1&nbsp;million
that we paid it in lease, royalty and property tax reimbursement
and royalty payments during 2003, 2004 and the period from
January&nbsp;1, 2005 to May&nbsp;31, 2005, respectively. In an
unrelated transaction, in December 2003, Alex Krueger, a member
of our board of directors, was appointed as a member of the
board of directors of GP Natural Resource Partners, LLC, the
general partner of NRP, and First Reserve became a substantial
equity owner of NRP. We believe the production and minimum
royalty rates contained in our leases with NRP are consistent
with current market royalty rates.

In August 2004, we and the AMCI Parties entered into an
agreement with Excelven Pty Ltd, pursuant to which we agreed to
acquire a 24.5% interest in Excelven for a purchase price of
$5.0&nbsp;million in cash, and the AMCI Parties agreed to
acquire a 24.5% interest in Excelven for a purchase price of
$5.0&nbsp;million in cash. Excelven, through its subsidiaries,
owns the rights to the Las Carmelitas mining venture in
Venezuela and the related Palmarejo export port facility on Lake
Maracaibo in Venezuela. We and the AMCI Parties each funded
$3.25&nbsp;million of our respective subscription obligations in
September 2004, an additional $1.25&nbsp;million in December
2004 and the remaining $500,000 in March 2005. The Las
Carmelitas mine, which is not yet in operation, is currently
expected to produce approximately two million tons of low sulfur
thermal coal per year over a 15-year mine life. The project is
currently in the developmental stage, with preliminary
governmental mining and environmental approvals having been
obtained. Final governmental approval of the project, which is
subject to the submission of a detailed mine plan, is currently
expected in 2005 with mining to commence in 2007. We and the
AMCI Parties are also in preliminary negotiations with Excelven
to provide promotion, marketing, sales and distribution services
to Excelven for all coal extracted from the Las Carmelitas mine.

Since its formation in December 2002, ANR Holdings has made
periodic distributions to its members, including First Reserve,
entities affiliated with AMCI, and Alpha Coal Management, on
dates and in amounts calculated in accordance with its governing
documents, sufficient to enable the members to pay their
estimated income tax liability associated with their ownership
of ANR Holdings. The amounts of these distributions by ANR
Holdings, which were funded by cash distributions made to ANR
Holdings by Alpha Natural Resources, LLC, totaled
$5.3&nbsp;million and $14.0&nbsp;million during 2003 and 2004,
respectively, and $1.1&nbsp;million during the period from
January&nbsp;1, 2005 through the date of Internal Restructuring.

On May&nbsp;28, 2004, in connection with the closing under our
credit agreement and our receipt of the proceeds from the sale
of the notes, Alpha Natural Resources, LLC distributed
$110.0&nbsp;million to ANR Holdings, which in turn distributed
an aggregate of $110.0&nbsp;million to its members, including
First Reserve, entities affiliated with AMCI, and Alpha Coal
Management, in proportion to their common sharing ratios in ANR
Holdings.

In connection with the Internal Restructuring, we assumed the
obligation of ANR Holdings to make the Tax Distributions to
(1)&nbsp;affiliates of AMCI in an aggregate amount of
$6.0&nbsp;million, representing the approximate incremental tax
resulting from the recognition of additional tax liability
resulting from the Internal Restructuring and (2)&nbsp;First
Reserve Fund&nbsp;IX, L.P. in an aggregate amount of
approximately $4.5&nbsp;million, representing the approximate
value of tax attributes conveyed as a result of the Internal
Restructuring. The Tax Distributions to affiliates of AMCI will
be paid in five equal installments on the dates for which
estimated income tax payments are due in each of April 2005,
June 2005, September 2005, January 2006 and April 2006. The
first three of these payments were made on April&nbsp;15, 2005,
June&nbsp;15, 2005 and September&nbsp;15, 2005 in the amount of
$1.2&nbsp;million each in cash. The Tax Distributions to First
Reserve Fund&nbsp;IX, L.P. will be paid in three installments of
approximately $2.1&nbsp;million, $2.1&nbsp;million and
$0.3&nbsp;million on December&nbsp;15, 2007, 2008 and 2009,
respectively. The Tax Distributions will be payable in cash to
the extent we are permitted by the terms of the indenture
governing the notes and our credit facility to distribute the
required funds to us or, if we are not permitted to make such
cash distributions, the Tax Distributions will be payable in
shares of our common stock.

secured financing, consisting of a $125.0&nbsp;million revolving
credit facility and a funded letter of credit facility of up to
$50.0&nbsp;million. The revolving credit facility includes
$20.0&nbsp;million of availability for borrowings on same-day
notice, referred to as swingline loans and $50.0&nbsp;million
for additional letters of credit. The revolving credit facility
commitment will terminate in May 2009. As of June&nbsp;30, 2005,
we had approximately $78.0&nbsp;million of indebtedness and
$53.4&nbsp;million of letters of credit outstanding under our
credit facility, and additional borrowing available under the
revolving portion of our credit facility of $43.6&nbsp;million.

All borrowings under our credit facility bear interest, at our
option, at either: (A)&nbsp;an &#147;alternate base rate&#148;
equal to, for any day, the higher of: (i)&nbsp;0.50%&nbsp;per
year above the overnight federal funds effective rate, as

eurocurrency liabilities) at which eurodollar deposits for the
relevant interest period (which will be one, two, three or six
months, as selected by us) are offered in the interbank
eurodollar market, as determined by the administrative agent,
<I>plus </I>a rate dependent on our leverage ratio, ranging from
3.00% to 2.25%&nbsp;per year. The rates that depend on our

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under
the revolving credit facility, we are required to pay a
usage-dependent commitment fee on the available unused
commitment under the revolving credit facility. The fee is equal
to: (a)&nbsp;0.25%&nbsp;per year, in the event that the usage of
the revolving credit facility is at least 66.67%,

66.67%, and (c)&nbsp;0.50%&nbsp;per year, in the event that the
usage of the revolving credit facility is less then 33.33%. For
purposes of calculating the commitment fee, swingline loans will
not be considered usage of the revolving credit facility. The
fee accrues quarterly.

We are also required to pay a letter of credit fee calculated at

the credit facility per annum of the face amount of each letter
of credit and a fronting fee equal to a percentage per annum, as
agreed with the issuing bank, of the face amount of each letter

The indenture governing the senior notes also provides for
events of default which, if any of them occurs, would permit or
require the principal of and accrued interest on the senior
notes to become or to be declared due and payable. As of
September&nbsp;30, 2004, we were in compliance in all material
respects with all covenants and provisions contained under the
indenture governing the senior notes.

A portion of the purchase price we have agreed to pay in the
Nicewonder Acquisition will consist of $221.0&nbsp;million of
promissory installment notes of one of our indirect, wholly
owned subsidiaries. If issued, the notes will be payable in two
installments of $181.1&nbsp;million one week after closing the
Nicewonder Acquisition and $39.9&nbsp;million on
January&nbsp;15, 2006. We anticipate that we will close our
purchase of the Nicewonder Coal Group in late October 2005;
however, we cannot assure you that the Nicewonder Acquisition
will be consummated in that time period or at all. Closing of
the acquisition of the Nicewonder Coal Group is subject to
certain conditions set forth in the acquisition agreements,
including securing financing, receiving necessary regulatory
approvals, entering into definitive agreements with certain
customers of the Nicewonder Coal Group, receiving third party
consents and other customary conditions.

Federal and state laws require surety bonds to secure our
obligations to reclaim lands disturbed for mining, to pay
federal and state workers&#146; compensation and to satisfy
other miscellaneous obligations. The amount of the reclamation
bonds varies constantly, depending upon the amount of acreage
disturbed and the degree to which each property has been
reclaimed. Under federal law, partial bond release is provided
as mined lands (1)&nbsp;are backfilled and graded to approximate
original contour, (2)&nbsp;are re-vegetated and (3)&nbsp;achieve
pre-mining vegetative productivity levels on a sustained basis
for a period of five to 10&nbsp;years.

We have a committed bonding facility with Travelers Casualty and
Surety Company of America, pursuant to which Travelers has
agreed, subject to certain conditions, to issue certain surety
bonds on behalf of us and our subsidiaries in a maximum amount
of $125.0&nbsp;million. The bonding facility is supported by
letters of credit in an amount up to 50% of the aggregate bond
liability. As of June&nbsp;30, 2005, we have posted an aggregate
of $96.0&nbsp;million in reclamation bonds and $8.6&nbsp;million
of other types of bonds under this facility. In connection with
our planned acquisition of the Nicewonder Coal Group, we will
amend our bonding facility with Travelers to increase the
maximum bonding amount to $150.0&nbsp;million. On a pro forma
basis giving effect to the Nicewonder Acquisition, we would have
posted an aggregate of $107.8&nbsp;million in reclamation bonds
under this facility as of June&nbsp;30, 2005.

affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors,

Our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and
restated bylaws provide that we must indemnify our directors and
officers to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL. We are
also expressly authorized to carry directors&#146; and
officers&#146; insurance providing indemnification for our
directors, officers, employees and agents for some liabilities.
We believe that these indemnification provisions and insurance
are useful to attract and retain qualified directors and
executive officers.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in
our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and
restated bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a
lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty.
These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the
likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and
officers, even though a derivative action, if successful, might
otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. In addition, your
investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the
costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and
officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

The DGCL does not require stockholder approval for any issuance
of authorized shares. However, the listing requirements of the
New York Stock Exchange, which would apply so long as our common
stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, require
stockholder approval of certain issuances equal to or exceeding
20% of the then-outstanding voting power or then outstanding
number of shares of common stock. These additional shares may be
used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future
public offerings, to raise additional capital or to facilitate
acquisitions.

One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved
common stock may be to enable our board of directors to issue
shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance
could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain
control of our company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy
contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of our
management and possibly deprive the stockholders of
opportunities to sell their shares of common stock at prices
higher than prevailing market prices.

We cannot predict what effect, if any, market sales of shares of
common stock or the availability of shares of common stock for
sale will have on the market price of our common stock.
Nevertheless, sales of substantial amounts of common stock in
the public market, or the perception that such sales could
occur, could materially and adversely affect the market price of
our common stock and could impair our future ability to raise
capital through the sale of our equity or equity-related
securities at a time and price that we deem appropriate.

Upon the closing of this offering, we will have outstanding
62,224,580&nbsp;shares of our common stock, plus, assuming that
the Nicewonder Acquisition has closed prior to this offering,
the shares of our common stock issued in connection with the
closing of the Nicewonder Acquisition, which will be equal to
approximately $60.0&nbsp;million in value of shares of our
common stock based on the weighted average trading price of our
common stock during the 20-day trading period immediately prior
to the Nicewonder Acquisition closing. Of the outstanding
shares, the shares sold in this offering and in our IPO, as well
as shares that have been resold since the IPO pursuant to
Rule&nbsp;144 or Rule&nbsp;701 or issued by us pursuant to our
registration statement on Form&nbsp;S-8, will be freely
tradeable without restriction or further registration under the
Securities Act, except that any shares held by our
&#147;affiliates,&#148; as that term is defined under
Rule&nbsp;144 of the Securities Act, may be sold only in
compliance with the limitations described below. The remaining
outstanding shares of common stock were issued and sold by us in
private transactions and have not been resold pursuant to
Rule&nbsp;144 or Rule&nbsp;701 and are therefore
&#147;restricted securities&#148; as that term is defined under
Rule&nbsp;144. These remaining shares are eligible for public
sale if registered under the Securities Act or sold in
accordance with Rule&nbsp;144 or Rule&nbsp;701 under the
Securities Act, which are summarized below. As a result of the
provisions of Rule&nbsp;144 and 701 and our registration
statement on Form&nbsp;S-8, of the restricted securities will be
eligible for sale in the public market following the expiration
of

This summary is based upon provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the &#147;Code&#148;), and
regulations, rulings and judicial decisions as of the date
hereof. Those authorities may be changed, perhaps retroactively,
so as to result in United States federal income and estate tax
consequences different from those summarized below. This summary
does not address all aspects of United States federal income and
estate taxes and does not deal with foreign, state, local or
other tax considerations that may be relevant to
non-U.S.&nbsp;holders in light of their personal circumstances.
In addition, it does not represent a detailed description of the
United States federal income and estate tax consequences
applicable to you if you are subject to special treatment under
the United States federal income tax laws (including if you are
a United States expatriate, &#147;controlled foreign
corporation,&#148; &#147;passive foreign investment
company,&#148; or corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid
United States federal income tax). A change in law may alter
significantly the tax considerations that we describe in this
summary.

If a partnership holds our common stock, the tax treatment of a
partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and
the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a
partnership holding our common stock, you should consult your
tax advisors.

If you are considering the purchase of our common stock, we
recommend that you consult your own tax advisors concerning the
particular United States federal income and estate tax
consequences to you of the ownership of the common stock, as
well as the consequences to you arising under the laws of any
other taxing jurisdiction.

In the event that we pay dividends, dividends paid to a
non-U.S.&nbsp;holder of our common stock generally will be
subject to withholding of United States federal income tax at a
30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable
income tax treaty. However, dividends that are effectively
connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the
non-U.S.&nbsp;holder within the United States (and, where a tax
treaty applies, are attributable to a United States permanent
establishment of the non-U.S.&nbsp;holder) are not subject to
the withholding tax, provided certain certification and
disclosure requirements are satisfied. Instead, such dividends
are subject to United States federal income tax on a net income
basis in the same manner as if the non-U.S.&nbsp;holder were a
United States person as defined under the Code. Any such
effectively connected dividends received by a foreign
corporation may be subject to an additional &#147;branch profits
tax&#148; at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified
by an applicable income tax treaty.

A non-U.S.&nbsp;holder of our common stock who wishes to claim
the benefit of an applicable treaty rate and avoid backup
withholding, as discussed below, for dividends will be required
to (a)&nbsp;complete Internal Revenue Service Form&nbsp;W-8BEN
(or other applicable form) and certify under penalty of perjury
that such holder is not a United States person as defined under
the Code or (b)&nbsp;if our common stock is held through certain
foreign intermediaries, satisfy the relevant certification
requirements of applicable United States Treasury regulations.
Special certification and other requirements apply to certain
non-U.S.&nbsp;holders that are entities rather than individuals.

A non-U.S.&nbsp;holder of our common stock eligible for a

withheld by filing an appropriate claim for refund with the
Internal Revenue Service.

An individual non-U.S.&nbsp;holder described in the first bullet

We believe that we are currently a &#147;United States real
property holding corporation&#148; for United States federal
income tax purposes. So long as our common stock is regularly
traded on an established securities market, only a
non-U.S.&nbsp;holder who holds or held (at any time during the
shorter of the five year period preceding the date of
disposition or the holder&#146;s holding period) more than 5% of
our common stock will be subject to United States federal income
tax on the disposition of our common stock.

If a non-U.S.&nbsp;holder owned directly or indirectly more than
5% of our common stock at any time during the applicable period
or our common stock was not considered to be &#147;regularly
traded on an established securities market,&#148; then any gain
recognized by a non-U.S.&nbsp;holder on the sale or other
disposition of our common stock would be treated as effectively
connected with a U.S.&nbsp;trade or business and would be
subject to U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax at regular graduated
U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax rates and in much the same manner
as applicable to U.S.&nbsp;persons. In such a case, the
non-U.S.&nbsp;holder could also be subject to certain
withholding taxes imposed on the gross proceeds realized with
respect to the sale or other disposition of our common stock.

We must report annually to the Internal Revenue Service and to
each non-U.S.&nbsp;holder the amount of dividends paid to such
holder and the tax withheld with respect to such dividends,

A non-U.S.&nbsp;holder will be subject to backup withholding for
dividends paid to such holder unless such holder certifies under

Information reporting and, depending on the circumstances,
backup withholding will apply to the proceeds of a sale of our
common stock within the United States or conducted through
certain United States-related financial intermediaries, unless
the beneficial owner certifies under penalty of perjury that it
is a non-U.S.&nbsp;holder (and the payor does not have actual
knowledge or reason to know that the beneficial owner is a

Shares of common stock sold by the underwriters to the public

In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase
and sell shares of common stock in the open market. These
transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions
and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short
sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number
of shares of common stock than they are required to purchase in
the offering. &#147;Covered&#148; short sales are sales made in
an amount not greater than the underwriters&#146; option to
purchase additional shares of common stock from the selling
stockholders. The underwriters may close out any covered short
position by either exercising their option to purchase
additional shares of common stock or purchasing shares of common
stock in the open market. In determining the source of shares to
close out the covered short position, the underwriters will
consider, among other things, the price of shares available for
purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which
they may purchase additional shares of common stock pursuant to
the option granted to them. &#147;Naked&#148; short sales are
any sales in excess of such option. The underwriters must close
out any naked short position by purchasing shares of common
stock in the open market. A naked short position is more likely
to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may
be downward pressure on the price of the common stock in the
open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors
who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist
of various bids for or purchases of common stock made by the
underwriters in the open market prior to the completion of the
offering.

The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when

Purchases to cover a short position and stabilizing transactions
may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the
market price of our common stock, and together with the
imposition of the penalty bid, may stabilize, maintain or
otherwise affect the market price of the common stock. As a
result, the price of the common stock may be higher than the
price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these
activities are commenced, they may be discontinued at any time.
These transactions may be effected on the New York Stock
Exchange, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

On February&nbsp;11, 2005, Alpha Natural Resources, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (Alpha) succeeded to the business of ANR
Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (ANR
Holdings) in a series of internal restructuring transactions
which are referred to collectively as the Internal
Restructuring, and on February&nbsp;18, 2005, Alpha completed
the initial public offering of its common stock. Prior to the
Internal Restructuring, ANR Fund&nbsp;IX Holdings, L.P. and
Alpha NR Holding, Inc. (the FR Affiliates), entities under the
common control of First Reserve GP IX, Inc., were the owners of
54.7% of the membership interests in ANR Holdings, and the
remaining membership interests in ANR Holdings were held by
affiliates of American Metals&nbsp;&#38; Coal International,
Inc. (AMCI), Alpha Coal Management, LLC (ACM)&nbsp;and Madison
Capital Funding, LLC. The financial statements for the six
months ended June&nbsp;30, 2005 are presented on a combined
basis including the combined financial results for the FR
Affiliates and subsidiaries for the period from January&nbsp;1,
2005 to February&nbsp;11, 2005, and the consolidated results for
Alpha and subsidiaries from February&nbsp;12, 2005 to
June&nbsp;30, 2005. The financial statements for the three
months ended June&nbsp;30, 2005 are presented on a consolidated
basis. The financial statements for the period from
April&nbsp;1, 2004 to June&nbsp;30, 2004 and for the periods
from January&nbsp;1, 2004 to June&nbsp;30, 2004 are presented
for the FR Affiliates and subsidiaries on a combined basis. The
entities included in the accompanying financial statements are

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with
U.S.&nbsp;generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial reporting. Accounting measurements at interim dates
inherently rely on estimates more than year-end; however, in the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included. Results of operations for the six months
ended June&nbsp;30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the year ending December&nbsp;31,
2005. These financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited financial statements and related notes as of
and for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 included in the
Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K of Alpha filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or
loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings per share is
computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock
equivalents outstanding during the periods. Common stock
equivalents include the number of shares issuable on exercise of
outstanding options less the number of shares that could have
been purchased with the proceeds from the exercise of the
options based on the average price of common stock during the
period.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The first set of earnings per share data is labeled &#147;net
income (loss) per share, as adjusted&#148;. The numerator for
purposes of computing basic and diluted net income (loss) per
share, as adjusted, includes the reported net income (loss) and
a pro forma adjustment for income taxes to reflect the pro forma
income taxes for ANR Fund&nbsp;IX Holdings, L.P.&#146;s portion
of reported pre-tax income (loss), which would have been
recorded if the issuance of the shares of common stock received
by the FR Affiliates in exchange for their ownership in ANR
Holdings in connection with the Internal Restructuring had
occurred as of January&nbsp;1, 2004. For purposes of the
computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share, as
adjusted, the pro forma adjustment for income taxes only applies
to the percentage interest owned by ANR Fund&nbsp;IX Holding,
L.P., the non-taxable FR Affiliate. No pro forma adjustment for
income taxes is required for the percentage interest owned by
Alpha NR Holding, Inc., the taxable FR Affiliate, because income
taxes have already been recorded in the historical results of
operations. Furthermore, no pro forma adjustment to reported net
income (loss) is necessary subsequent to February&nbsp;11, 2005
because Alpha is subject to income taxes.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The denominator for purposes of computing basic net income
(loss) per share, as adjusted, reflects the retroactive impact
of the common shares received by the FR Affiliates in exchange
for their ownership in ANR Holdings in connection with the
Internal Restructuring on a weighted-average outstanding share
basis as being outstanding as of January&nbsp;1, 2004. The
common shares issued to the minority interest owners of ANR
Holdings in connection with the Internal Restructuring,
including the immediately vested shares granted to management,
have been reflected as being outstanding as of February&nbsp;11,
2005 for purposes of computing the basic net income (loss) per
share, as adjusted. The unvested shares granted to management on
February&nbsp;11, 2005 that vest monthly over the two-year
period from January&nbsp;1, 2005 to December&nbsp;31, 2006 are
included in the basic net income (loss) per share, as adjusted,
computation as they vest on a weighted-average outstanding share
basis starting on February&nbsp;11, 2005. The 33,925,000 new
shares issued in connection with the initial public offering
have been reflected as being outstanding since February&nbsp;14,
2005, the date of the initial public offering, for purposes of
computing the basic net income (loss) per share, as adjusted.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt; margin-left: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; color: #000000; background: #ffffff;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The unvested shares issued to management are considered options
for purposes of computing diluted net income (loss) per share,
as adjusted. Therefore, for diluted purposes, all remaining
unvested shares granted to management are added to the
denominator subsequent to February&nbsp;11, 2005 using the
treasury stock method, if the effect is dilutive. In addition,
the treasury stock method is used for outstanding stock options,
if dilutive, beginning with the November&nbsp;10, 2004 grant of
options to management to purchase units in ACM that were
automatically converted into options to purchase up to
596,985&nbsp;shares of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. common
stock at an exercise price of $12.73&nbsp;per share.

The unvested shares issued to management are considered options
for purposes of computing diluted pro forma net income (loss)
per share. Therefore, for diluted purposes, all remaining
unvested shares granted to management would be added to the
denominator as of January&nbsp;1, 2004 using the treasury stock
method, if the effect is dilutive. In addition, the treasury
stock method would be used for outstanding stock options, if
dilutive, beginning with the November&nbsp;10, 2004 grant of
options to management to purchase units in ACM that were
automatically converted into options to purchase up to
596,985&nbsp;shares of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. common

The Company extracts, processes and markets steam and
metallurgical coal from surface and deep mines for sale to
electric utilities, steel and coke producers, and industrial
customers. The Company operates only in the United States with
mines in the Central Appalachian and Northern Appalachian
regions. The Company has one reportable segment: Coal
Operations, which as of June&nbsp;30, 2005, consisted of 45
underground mines and 22 surface mines located in Central
Appalachia and Northern Appalachia. Coal Operations also
includes the Company&#146;s purchased coal sales function, which
markets the Company&#146;s Appalachian coal to domestic and
international customers. The All Other category includes the
Company&#146;s equipment sales and repair operations, as well as
other ancillary business activities, including terminal
services, coal and environmental analysis services, and leasing
of mineral rights. The Corporate and Eliminations category
includes general corporate overhead and the elimination of

the Company defines as net income (loss) plus interest expense,
income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, depletion and
amortization, less interest income, and adjusted for minority
interest. EBITDA, as adjusted, from continuing operations is
defined as income from continuing operations plus interest
expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, depletion
and amortization, less interest income, and adjusted for
minority interest.

In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to
certain guarantees and financial instruments with off-balance
sheet risk, such as bank letters of credit and performance or
surety bonds. No liabilities related to these arrangements are
reflected in the Company&#146;s combined balance sheets.
Management does not expect any material losses to result from
these guarantees or off-balance sheet financial instruments. The
amount of bank letters of credit outstanding as of June&nbsp;30,
2005 is $53,408. The amount of surety bonds currently
outstanding related to the Company&#146;s reclamation
obligations is presented in note&nbsp;5 to the condensed
consolidated financial statements. The Company has provided
guarantees for equipment financing obtained by certain of its
contract mining operators totaling approximately $2,300. The
estimated fair value of these guarantees is not significant.

On April&nbsp;14, 2005, the Company sold the assets of its
Colorado mining subsidiary, National King Coal LLC, and related
trucking subsidiary, Gallup Transportation and Transloading
Company, LLC (collectively, &#147;NKC&#148;), to an unrelated
third party for cash in the amount of $4,400, plus an amount in
cash equal to the fair market value of NKC&#146;s coal
inventory, and the assumption by the buyer of certain
liabilities of NKC. The Company recorded a gain on the sale of
NKC of $704 for the quarter and six months ended June&nbsp;30,
2005. The results of operations of NKC for the current and prior

Since the condensed consolidated statements of operations for
the six months ended June&nbsp;30, 2005 include activity both
prior to and after the Internal Restructuring and initial public
offering, the total income tax provision is the sum of the
provisions for the pre- and post-restructuring periods.

Prior to February&nbsp;12, 2005, the minority interest owners
and ANR Fund&nbsp;IX Holdings, L.P. owned interests in ANR
Holdings, a limited liability company and pass-through entity
for income tax purposes. As a pass-through entity, ANR Holdings
provides information returns reflecting the allocated income
(loss) to the minority interest owners and ANR Fund&nbsp;IX
Holdings, L.P based upon their respective ownership percentage
and certain special allocations as provided by the limited
liability company agreement and the Internal Revenue Code. The
income tax consequences of the income (loss) allocated to these
owners for the period from January&nbsp;1, 2005 to
February&nbsp;11, 2005 and from January&nbsp;1, 2004 to
June&nbsp;30, 2004 is not reflected in the financial statements.
For these periods, only the income tax expense associated with
Alpha NR Holding, Inc., a taxable entity, is included. The
primary source of the income tax impact is derived from the
allocated income (loss) from ANR Holdings, Alpha Natural
Resources, LLC and its operating subsidiaries, all of which are
pass-through entities for tax purposes. Subsequent to the
Internal Restructuring and initial public offering, all of the
income of ANR Holdings is taxed to Alpha Natural Resources, Inc.

A tax provision of $9,089 was recorded for the three months
ended June&nbsp;30, 2005 on pre-tax income from continuing
operations of $35,216, which equates to an effective tax rate of
25.8%.

A tax provision of $11,599 was recorded for the six months ended
June&nbsp;30, 2005 on pre-tax income from continuing operations
of $15,323, which equates to an effective tax rate of 75.7%.
This rate is higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due
primarily to the majority of the stock-based compensation charge
associated with the issuance of common stock to management in
connection with the Internal Restructuring and initial public
offering not being deductible for tax purposes. The increase in
expected income tax expense related to the stock-based
compensation charge is offset in part by the tax benefits
associated with percentage depletion, the extraterritorial
income exclusion, and taxes not being provided for on the
minority interest and pass-through entity owners&#146;
respective shares for the period prior to the restructuring. As
$33,029 of the stock-based compensation charge was identified as
a significant unusual item in the first quarter of 2005, the tax
effect of the $33,029 expense (no tax benefit) was recorded in

The Internal Restructuring resulted in an increase in the basis
of assets for income tax purposes, currently estimated at
$346,000, which resulted in a gross deferred tax asset of
$132,637. This amount was offset by an increase to the valuation
allowance of $106,908 as of the date of the Internal
Restructuring. The resulting net increase in deferred income
taxes of $25,729 was recorded as an increase to additional
paid-in capital, as the underlying change in the tax basis of
assets of the Company was caused by the Internal Restructuring
transactions between the Company and its stockholders.

Since the Company has not been in business long enough to
develop a strong earnings history (objective evidence as
required by generally accepted accounting principles), and due
to the likelihood that the alternative minimum tax will exceed
the regular tax in the future, the Company has recorded a
valuation allowance of $108,677 as of June&nbsp;30, 2005. The
Company monitors the valuation allowance each quarter and makes
adjustments to the allowance through the tax provision as
appropriate based primarily upon continued development of an
earnings history and projected future earnings based on future
sales commitments, which impacts the utilization of deferred tax
assets.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123(R),
<I>Share-Based Payment,</I>which requires companies to expense
the fair value of equity awards over the required service
period. This Statement is a revision of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123,
<I>Accounting for Stock</I>-<I>Based Compensation.</I>
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No.&nbsp;25,
<I>Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, </I>which uses the
intrinsic value method to value stock-based compensation. On
April&nbsp;14, 2005, the SEC adopted a new rule that amends the
effective date of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123(R) to allow SEC
registrants to implement SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123(R) as of the
beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after
June&nbsp;15, 2005. The Company will adopt
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123(R) effective January&nbsp;1, 2006.

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of ANR
Fund IX Holdings, L.P. and Alpha NR Holding, Inc. and
subsidiaries (the Company or Successor) as of December 31, 2004
and 2003, and the related combined statements of operations,
stockholder&#146;s equity and partners&#146; capital, and cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the
period from December 14, 2002 to December 31, 2002 (Successor
Periods), and the combined statements of operations,
shareholder&#146;s equity, and cash flows for the period from
January 1, 2002 to December&nbsp;13, 2002 (Predecessor Period).
These combined financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company&#146;s management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis of our opinion.

In our opinion, the aforementioned Successor combined financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of ANR Fund IX Holdings, L.P. and Alpha NR
Holding, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003,
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the
Successor Periods, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. Further, in our opinion, the
aforementioned Predecessor combined financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the Predecessor Period, in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in note 1 to the combined financial statements,
effective December 13, 2002, the Company acquired the majority
of the Virginia coal operations of Pittston Coal Company, a
subsidiary of The Brink&#146;s Company (formerly known as The
Pittston Company), in a business combination accounted for as a
purchase. As a result of the acquisition, the combined financial
information for the periods after the acquisition is presented
on a different cost basis than that for the periods before the
acquisition and, therefore, is not comparable.

Prior to December&nbsp;13, 2002, the Company had no operations.
On December&nbsp;13, 2002, the Company acquired the majority of
the Virginia coal operations of Pittston Coal Company (the
Combined Virginia Entity or Predecessor) through a number of
asset acquisitions by the Company&#146;s subsidiaries. The
Combined Virginia Entity is considered the Predecessor to the
Company. As such, the historical financial statements of the
Combined Virginia Entity are included in the accompanying
combined financial statements, including the combined statements
of operations, cash flows, and shareholders&#146; equity, for
the period from January&nbsp;1, 2002 to December&nbsp;13, 2002
(the &#147;Predecessor combined financial statements&#148;). The
Predecessor combined financial statements are not necessarily
indicative of the future financial position or results of
operations of the Company.

The Predecessor&#146;s combined financial statements have not
been adjusted to give effect to the acquisition. For this
reason, the combined financial statements of the Company after
the acquisition are not comparable to the Predecessor&#146;s
combined financial statements prior to the acquisition.

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid,
short-term investments. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at
cost, which approximates fair market value. For purposes of the
combined statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount
and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is
the Company&#146;s best estimate of the amount of probable
credit losses in the Company&#146;s existing accounts
receivable. The Company establishes provisions for losses on
accounts receivable when it is probable that all or part of the
outstanding balance will not be collected. The Company regularly
reviews collectibility and establishes or adjusts the allowance
as necessary using the specific identification method. Account
balances are charged off against the allowance after all means
of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery
is considered remote. The Company does not have any
off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

Coal inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The

weighed at a loading facility.

Costs for mineral properties, mineral rights, and mine
development incurred to expand capacity of operating mines or to
develop new mines are capitalized and charged to operations on
the units-of-production method over the estimated proven and
probable reserve tons. Mine development costs include costs
incurred for site preparation and development of the mines
during the development stage. Mobile mining equipment and other
fixed assets are stated at cost and depreciated on a
straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from 2
to 20&nbsp;years. Leasehold improvements are amortized, using
the straight-line method, over their estimated useful lives or
the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Major repairs and
betterments that significantly extend original useful lives or
improve productivity are capitalized and depreciated over the
period benefited. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as
incurred.

In accordance with SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;144, <I>Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets</I>, long-lived
assets, such as property, plant, equipment, and purchased
intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated
undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the
asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated
future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the
amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the
fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be
separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the
lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell,
and would no longer be depreciated. The assets and liabilities
of a disposal group classified as held for sale would be
presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability
sections of the balance sheet.

Goodwill represents the excess of costs over fair value of net
assets of businesses acquired. Pursuant to
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;142, <I>Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets</I>, goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a
purchase business combination and determined to have an
indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead tested for
impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions
of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;142. The Company performs its impairment
test in August of each year. SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;142 also
requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be
amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their
estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in
accordance with SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;144. The impairment review in
August 2004 supported the carrying value of goodwill.

The Company and the Predecessor account for income taxes in

Taxes</I>, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and
liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events
that have been included in the financial statements or tax

are determined based on the difference between the financial
statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted

Minimum standards for mine reclamation have been established by
various regulatory agencies and dictate the reclamation
requirements at the Company&#146;s operations. The Company
records these reclamation obligations under the provisions of
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;143, <I>Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations.</I> SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;143 requires the fair value
of a liability for an asset retirement obligation to be
recognized in the period in which the legal obligation
associated with the retirement of the long-lived asset is
incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the offset
is capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related
long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its
present value each period, and the capitalized cost is
depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. To settle
the liability, the obligation is paid, and to the extent there
is a difference between the liability and the amount of cash
paid, a gain or loss upon settlement is recorded. The Company
annually reviews its estimated future cash flows for its asset
retirement obligation.

The Predecessor charged expenditures relating to environmental
regulatory requirements and reclamation costs undertaken during
mine operations against earnings as incurred. Estimated site
restoration and post-closure reclamation costs were charged
against earnings using the units-of-production method over the
expected economic life of each mine. Accrued reclamation costs
were subject to review by our Predecessor&#146;s management on a
regular basis and were revised when appropriate for changes in
future estimated costs and/or regulatory requirements.

Lease rights to coal lands are often acquired in exchange for
royalty payments. Advance mining royalties are advance payments
made to lessors under terms of mineral lease agreements that are
recoupable against future production. These advance payments are
deferred and charged to operations as the coal reserves are
mined. The Company regularly reviews recoverability of advance
mining royalties and establishes or adjusts the allowance for
advance mining royalties as necessary using the specific
identification method. In instances where advance payments are
not expected to be offset against future production royalties,
the Company establishes a provision for losses on the advance
payments that have been paid and the scheduled future minimum
payments are expensed and recognized as liabilities. Advance
royalty balances are charged off against the allowance when the
lease rights are either terminated or expire.

The Company recognizes revenue on coal sales when title passes
to the customer in accordance with the terms of the sales
agreement. Revenue from domestic coal sales is recorded at the
time of shipment or delivery to the customer, and the customer
takes ownership and assumes risk of loss based on shipping
terms. Revenue from international coal sales is recorded at the
time coal is loaded onto the shipping vessel, when the customer
takes ownership and assumes risk of loss. In the event that new
contracts are negotiated with a customer and shipments commence
before the old contract is complete, the Company recognizes as
revenue the lower of the cumulative amount billed or an amount
based on the weighted average price of the new and old contracts
applied to the tons sold.

In connection with obtaining financing, the Company incurred

period from December&nbsp;14, 2002 to December&nbsp;31, 2002,
respectively. These financing costs have been deferred and are
included in other assets in the accompanying combined balance
sheets. Also see note&nbsp;12. These deferred financing costs
are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the
related indebtedness or credit facility. Amortization expense
for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 and 2003, and the
period from December&nbsp;14, 2002 to December&nbsp;31, 2002
totaled $4,474, $1,276, and $59, respectively. Due to the
termination of a prior credit facility, amortization expense for

For tax years 1996 through 2007, Virginia companies with an
economic interest in coal earn tax credits based upon tons sold,
seam thickness, and employment levels. The maximum credit earned
equals $0.40&nbsp;per ton for surface mined coal and $1.00 or
$2.00&nbsp;per ton for deep mined coal depending on seam
thickness. Credits allowable are reduced from the maximum
amounts if employment levels are not maintained from the
previous year, and no credit is allowed for coal sold to
Virginia utilities. Currently, the cash benefit of the credit is
realized three years after being earned and either offsets taxes
imposed by Virginia at 100% or is refundable by the state at 85%
of the face value to the extent taxes are not owed. The Company
records the present value of the portion of the credit that is
refundable as a reduction of operating costs as it is earned.
The Company records the portion of the credit that is allocated
to Alpha NR Holding, Inc. as an other asset. The Company records
the portion of the credit that is allocated to ANR Fund&nbsp;IX
Holdings, L.P. and minority interest owners as noncash
distributions.

The Company accounts for equity-based compensation awards
granted to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles
Board (APB)&nbsp;Opinion No.&nbsp;25, <I>Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees</I>, and related interpretations.
Compensation cost for equity-based awards is recognized in an
amount equal to the difference between the exercise price of the
award and the fair value of the Company&#146;s equity on the
date of grant. In accordance with APB Opinion No.&nbsp;25, the
Company recognized compensation expense of $91 related to the
period from the grant date on November&nbsp;10, 2004 (see
note&nbsp;16(e)) to December&nbsp;31, 2004

options to purchase&nbsp;596,985&nbsp;shares of Alpha Natural

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the
FASB) issued SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;151, <I>Inventory Costs</I>,
which amends the guidance in Accounting Research Bulletin
(ARB)&nbsp;No.&nbsp;43, Chapter&nbsp;4, &#147;Inventory
Pricing,&#148; to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of
idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted
material (spoilage). SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;151 clarifies that
abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling
costs, and wasted materials (spoilage)&nbsp;should be recognized
as current-period charges instead of inventory costs. The
provisions of this pronouncement will be effective for inventory
costs incurred during fiscal years ending after June&nbsp;15,
2005. The Company is currently evaluating whether the adoption
of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;151 will have any material financial
statement impact.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123(R),
<I>Share-Based Payment</I>, which requires companies to expense
the fair value of equity awards over the required service
period. This Statement is a revision of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123,
<I>Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation</I>.
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No.&nbsp;25,
<I>Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees</I>, which uses the
intrinsic value method to value stock-based compensation. The
effective date of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;123(R) will be as of the
beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that
begins after June&nbsp;15, 2005. There are various methods of
adopting

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;153,
<I>Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion
No.&nbsp;29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions</I>. This
Statement&#146;s amendments are based on the principle that
exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the
fair value of the assets exchanged. Further,
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;153 eliminates the narrow exception for
nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces
it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets
that do not have commercial substance. The provisions of this
pronouncement will be effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges
occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June&nbsp;15, 2005.
The Company does not expect the adoption of
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;153 will have any material financial
statement impact.

The preparation of the combined financial statements in
conformity with U.S.&nbsp;generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items
subject to such estimates and assumptions include the allowance
for doubtful accounts; inventories; mineral reserves; allowance
for non-recoupable advance mining royalties; asset retirement
obligations; employee benefit liabilities; future cash flows
associated with assets; useful lives for depreciation,
depletion, and amortization; workers&#146; compensation and
black lung claims; postretirement benefits other than pensions;
income taxes; and fair value of financial instruments. Due to
the subjective nature of these estimates, actual results could
differ from those estimates.

As part of a coal purchase agreement, the Company loaned an
unrelated coal supplier $10,000 on June&nbsp;10, 2004 at a
variable interest rate to be repaid in installments over a
two-year period beginning in August 2004. The loan is secured by
the assets of the company and personally guaranteed by the
company&#146;s owner. As of December&nbsp;31, 2004, $5,398 of
the outstanding amount is included in current notes and other
receivables and $3,083 is included in other assets.

On May&nbsp;18, 2004, Alpha and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Alpha Natural Resources Capital Corp., issued $175,000 of
10%&nbsp;senior notes due June 2012 in a private placement
offering under Rule&nbsp;144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $171,500
after fees and other offering costs. The senior notes are
unsecured but are guaranteed fully and unconditionally on a
joint and several basis by all of Alpha&#146;s wholly-owned
domestic restricted subsidiaries. Interest is payable
semi-annually in June and December. Additional interest on the
senior notes is payable in certain circumstances if a
registration statement with respect to an offer to exchange the
notes for a new issue of equivalent notes registered under the
Securities Act has not been declared effective on or prior to
February&nbsp;14, 2005 (270&nbsp;days after the notes were
issued), or if the offer to exchange the notes is not
consummated within 30 business days after February&nbsp;14,
2005. The amount of this additional interest is equal to 0.25%
of the principal amount of the notes per annum during the first
90-day period after a failure to have the registration statement
declared effective or consummate the exchange offer, and it will
increase by an additional 0.25%&nbsp;per annum with respect to
each subsequent 90-day period until the registration statement
has been declared effective and the exchange offer has been
consummated, up to a maximum amount of additional interest of
1.0%&nbsp;per annum.

On May&nbsp;28, 2004, Alpha entered into a new revolving credit
facility with a group of lending institutions led by Citicorp
North America, Inc., as administrative agent (Citicorp Credit
Facility). The Citicorp Credit Facility, as amended, provides
for a revolving line of credit of up to $125,000 and a funded
letter of credit facility of up to $50,000. As of
December&nbsp;31, 2004, the Company had $8,000 principal amount
in borrowings outstanding under the revolving line of credit and
$2,991 in letters of credit outstanding, leaving $114,009
available for borrowing. As of December&nbsp;31, 2004, the
funded letter of credit facility was fully utilized at $50,000
at an annual fee of 3.1% of the outstanding amount. Amounts
drawn under the revolver bear interest at a variable rate based
upon either the prime rate or a London Interbank Offered Rate
(LIBOR), in each case plus a spread that is dependent on our
leverage ratio. The interest rate applicable to our borrowings
under the revolver was 7.0% as of December&nbsp;31, 2004. The
principal balance of the revolving credit note is due in May
2009. ANR Holdings and each of the subsidiaries of Alpha have
guaranteed Alpha&#146;s obligations under the revolving credit
facility. The obligations of Alpha, ANR Holdings and
Alpha&#146;s subsidiaries under the Citicorp Credit Facility are
collateralized by all of the assets of Alpha, ANR Holdings and

In February 2003, the Company sold an overriding royalty
interest in certain mining properties for $11,850. The gain on
this transaction in the amount of $850 was deferred and is being
amortized over the associated remaining term of the mineral
lease. This property interest was acquired from El&nbsp;Paso CGP
Company in the acquisition of the Coastal Coal properties.

In April 2003, the Company sold mineral properties for $53,625
in a sale/leaseback transaction. These properties had originally
been acquired from Pittston Coal Company. The estimated gain on
this transaction in the amount of $7,057 was deferred and is
being amortized over the ten-year term of the lease. Also see

The Company recognized $959 and $618 of the above deferred gains
for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. In addition, for the year ended December&nbsp;31,
2004, the deferred gain was increased by $3,514 for revisions in
estimated cash flows underlying the asset retirement obligation
relating to the mineral properties which had been sold,
increased by $1,480 for revisions in the estimated contract
reclamation liability assumed in conjunction with the
acquisition of the Virginia coal operations of Pittston Coal
Company, and decreased by $5,000 relating to the accrual of
additional consideration for the acquisition of the Virginia
coal operations of Pittston Coal Company.

<I>Long-term Debt:</I> The fair value of the 10%&nbsp;Senior
notes is based on the trading price of the notes. The fair value
of debt with variable interest rates is equal to the principal
amount of the notes since the interest rates are reset
periodically. The fair value of other long-term debt is based on
the current market rate of interest offered to the Company for
debt of similar maturities. The estimated fair values of
long-term debt were as follows:

Three of the Company&#146;s subsidiaries assumed collective
bargaining agreements as part of two acquisitions that require
these subsidiaries to provide postretirement medical benefits to
certain employees who retire after the acquisition closing
dates. In each case, however, The Brink&#146;s Company and AMCI,
as sellers, have retained the obligation to provide
postretirement medical benefits to employees who retired prior
to the acquisition closing dates (December&nbsp;13, 2002 and
March&nbsp;11, 2003, respectively) and to employees who were not
retained by these subsidiaries. In addition, The Brink&#146;s
Company retained the obligation to provide postretirement
medical benefits to a significant number of the employees who
have worked for the Company after the acquisition closing,
namely, those employees who met the eligibility criteria by
December&nbsp;31, 2003, even if the employees will not retire
until sometime in the future. These plans are unfunded and the
measurement date is December&nbsp;31 of each year.

Effective July&nbsp;1, 2004, the Company adopted a plan offering
postretirement medical benefits to active union-free employees
that will provide a credit of $20&nbsp;per month per year of
service for pre-65&nbsp;year old and $9&nbsp;per month per year
of service for post-65&nbsp;year old retirees toward the
purchase of medical benefits (as defined) from the Company. The
adoption of this new plan resulted in prior service cost of
$27,122 which will be amortized over the remaining service of
the union-free employees.

On December&nbsp;8, 2003, the President of the United States
signed into law the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and
Modernization Act of 2003 (&#147;the Act&#148;). The Act
introduces a prescription drug benefit under Medicare
(&#147;Medicare Part&nbsp;D&#148;) as well as a federal subsidy
to sponsors of retiree heath care benefit plans that provide a
benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare
Part&nbsp;D.

At December&nbsp;31, 2003, in accordance with FASB Staff
Position No.&nbsp;FAS&nbsp;106-1, <I>Accounting and Disclosure
Requirements related to the Medicare Prescription Drug,
Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 </I>(&#147;FSP
106-1&#148;), the Company elected to defer recognition of the
effects of the Act in any measures of the benefit obligation or
cost.

In May 2004, the FASB issued further guidance with the release
of FASB Staff Position No.&nbsp;FAS&nbsp;106-2, <I>Accounting
and Disclosure Requirements related to the Medicare Prescription
Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 </I>(&#147;FSP
106-2&#148;). The Company has reflected the estimated impact of
the Act as a $629 reduction in the present value of the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of
January&nbsp;1, 2004 and a $113 reduction in the net periodic
service cost for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2004.

them to participate in the United Mine Workers of America
(UMWA)&nbsp;1950 and 1974 pension plans. These plans are
multi-employer pension plans whereby the expense is based upon
defined contribution rates. There was no expense under these
plans for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 and 2003, or
for the period from December&nbsp;14, 2002 to December&nbsp;31,
2002 as no contributions were required.

In November 2004, ACM adopted the Alpha Coal Management LLC 2004
Long-Term Incentive Plan (the &#147;Alpha Coal Management
Long-Term Incentive Plan&#148;) to provide equity-based
incentive compensation to those key employees and others who
make significant contributions to the strategic and long-term
performance objectives and growth of the Company. On
November&nbsp;10, 2004, ACM granted options to
purchase&nbsp;800,000&nbsp;units of ACM to 22 members of the
Company&#146;s management team under the Alpha Coal Management
Long-Term Incentive Plan. These options vest over a period of
five years (with accelerated vesting upon a change of control)
and have a term of ten years. In connection with this grant of
options, ACM entered into a letter agreement with ANR Holdings
pursuant to which ANR Holdings agreed to issue to ACM additional
membership interests representing sharing ratios in the
aggregate amount equal to 1% of the outstanding membership
interests upon exercise of awards granted by ACM under the Alpha
Coal Management Long-Term Incentive Plan. In connection with the
Internal Restructuring on February&nbsp;11, 2005, this plan was
amended and restated, the outstanding options to purchase units
of ACM were automatically converted into options to purchase
shares of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. common stock and Alpha
Natural Resources, Inc. assumed the obligations of ACM pursuant
to this plan. After the Internal Restructuring, there are
outstanding under the plan options to purchase an aggregate of
596,985&nbsp;shares of common stock (the maximum number of
shares currently available for awards under the plan) at an
exercise price of $12.73&nbsp;per share. No additional options
or awards will be granted under the plan.

In connection with the Internal Restructuring, Alpha Natural
Resources, Inc. adopted, and its stockholders approved, the
Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the
&#147;Long-Term Incentive Plan&#148;). The principal purpose of
the Long-Term Incentive Plan is to attract, motivate, reward and
retain selected employees, consultants and directors through the
granting of stock-based compensation awards. The Long-Term
Incentive Plan provides for a variety of awards, including
non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options (within the
meaning of Section&nbsp;422 of the Code), stock appreciation
rights, restricted stock awards, dividend equivalents,
performance-based awards and other stock-based awards.

The Combined Virginia Entity participated in the United Mine
Workers of America (UMWA)&nbsp;1950 and 1974 pension plans at
defined contribution rates. There was no expense under these
plans in 2002 as no contribution was required. A multi-employer
pension plan withdrawal liability related to these plans of
$28,424 was accrued as of December&nbsp;13, 2002 by the Virginia
Combined Entity associated with The Brink&#146;s Company&#146;s
planned exit from the coal business. The estimate was based on
the most recent actuarial estimate of liability for a withdrawal
occurring in the plan year ending June&nbsp;30, 2002. The
withdrawal liability and any subsequent changes in the liability
are the responsibility of The Brink&#146;s Company.

The APBO was determined using the unit credit method and an
assumed discount rate of 6.75% in 2002. For The Brink&#146;s
Company sponsored plans, the assumed health care cost trend rate
used in 2002 was 10% for 2003, declining 1%&nbsp;per year to 5%
in 2008 and thereafter. The assumed Medicare cost trend rate
used in 2002 was 5%.

A one percentage point increase (decrease) each year in the

Company-sponsored plans at December&nbsp;13, 2002 as follows:

<I>Health Benefit Act.</I> In October 1992, the Coal Industry
Retiree Health Benefit Act (the Health Benefit Act) was enacted
as part of the Energy Policy Act of 1992. The Health Benefit Act
established rules for the payment of future health care benefits
for thousands of retired union mine workers and their
dependents. The Health Benefit Act established a trust fund to
which &#147;signatory operators&#148; and &#147;related
persons&#148;, including The Brink&#146;s Company and certain of
its subsidiaries, including some of the subsidiaries included in
the Combined Virginia Entity, are jointly and severally liable
to pay annual premiums for assigned beneficiaries, together with
a pro rata share for certain beneficiaries who never worked for
such employers (unassigned beneficiaries) in amounts determined
on the basis set forth in the Health Benefit Act. In October
1993 and at various times in subsequent years, The Brink&#146;s
Company received notices from the Social Security Administration
(the SSA) with regard to the assigned beneficiaries for which
The Brink&#146;s Company was responsible under the Health
Benefit Act. In addition, the Health Benefit Act requires The
Brink&#146;s Company to fund, pro rata according to the total
number of assigned beneficiaries, a portion of the health
benefits for unassigned beneficiaries. At this time, the funding
for such health benefits is being provided from another source;
however, the statutory authorization to obtain such funds is
currently expected to cease by 2005. In the determination of The
Brink&#146;s Company&#146;s ultimate obligation under the Health
Benefit Act, such funding has been taken into consideration.

The Combined Virginia Entity accounted for their obligations
under the Health Benefit Act as participants in a multi-employer
benefit plan, as provided by Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF)&nbsp;No.&nbsp;92-13, <I>Accounting for Estimated Payments
in Connection with the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act
of 1992</I>, and thus, recognized the annual cost of these
obligations on a pay-as-you-go basis. For the period from
January&nbsp;1, 2002 to December&nbsp;13, 2002, the Combined
Virginia Entity&#146;s pro rata allocated portion of the annual
premiums were $1,302. The Company has no liability under this
act.

<I>Black Lung.</I> The Combined Virginia Entity was self-insured
with respect to substantially all black lung
(pneumoconiosis)&nbsp;benefits. Provision was made for estimated
benefits based on annual reports prepared by independent
actuaries. Unamortized losses were amortized over the average
remaining life expectancy of participants (approximately
10&nbsp;years). Assumptions used in the calculation of the
actuarial present value of black lung benefits were based on
actual retirement experience of the Combined Virginia
Entity&#146;s employees, black lung claims incidence, actual
dependent information, industry turnover rates, actual medical
and legal cost experience, and projected inflation rates. The
amount of expense incurred by the Combined Virginia Entity for
black lung benefits was $3,428 for the period from
January&nbsp;1, 2002 to December&nbsp;13, 2002.

The Company&#146;s operations generally are fully insured for
workers&#146; compensation and black lung claims. Insurance
premium expense for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 and
2003 was $16,192 and $15,984, respectively. A portion of the
West Virginia operations of the Company are self-insured for
workers&#146; compensation and state black lung claims. The
liability for these claims is an estimate of the ultimate losses
to be incurred on such claims based on the Company&#146;s
experience and published industry data. Adjustments to the
probable ultimate liability are made annually based on an
actuarial valuation and are included in operations as they are
determined. The obligations incurred prior to January&nbsp;31,
2003 are currently secured by surety bonds of El&nbsp;Paso
Corporation, an unrelated entity. Also see note&nbsp;23.

The liability for self-insured workers compensation benefits at
December&nbsp;31, 2004 and 2003 was $6,290 and $2,110,
respectively, including a current portion of $1,612 and $450,
respectively. Workers&#146; compensation expense for the years
ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 and 2003 was $7,697 and $4,464,
respectively, including fees paid to the State of West Virginia
to be self-insured. The Company is required to post bonds in the
amount of $2,288 with the state of West Virginia to secure
estimated self-insured liabilities for the period from
February&nbsp;1, 2003 through June&nbsp;30, 2004. The state of
West Virginia allows the self-insured companies to post these
bonds in installments to be fully secured by June&nbsp;30, 2006.
The Company posted a bond of $727 as the first installment for
the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2004.

As of December&nbsp;31, 2002, the Company had notes payable in
the amount of $23,953 payable to a related party. These notes
along with other notes in the amount of $20,047 were converted
to contributed capital of the Company in 2003. The Company
incurred interest expense on the related party notes of $2,625
and $144 during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2003 and the
period from December&nbsp;14, 2002 to December&nbsp;31, 2002,

In conjunction with the purchase of U.S.&nbsp;AMCI from the AMCI
Parties, the Company paid $35,000 for the working capital of
U.S.&nbsp;AMCI, as defined in the contribution agreement,
subject to an audit. As of December&nbsp;31, 2003, the net
working capital acquired was estimated to be $31,569 and the
difference of $3,431 was recorded as a receivable. In September
2004, ANR Holdings, First Reserve and the AMCI&nbsp;Parties
agreed that the net working capital actually acquired was
$34,070, and the AMCI Parties paid the difference of $930 to the
Company. The parties further agreed that the AMCI Parties would
be entitled to any refund of, and obligated to make any payment
of, all federal black lung excise taxes of the companies
contributed by the AMCI Parties to ANR Holdings, but only
insofar as the taxes related to pre-closing or straddle periods
ending on or prior to the closing date of the U.S.&nbsp;AMCI
acquisition. As a result, $981 of the previously recorded
receivable from AMCI was reclassified to offset a federal black
lung excise tax accrued liability included in the net working
capital acquired. The remaining $1,520 was recorded as an
increase to goodwill.

In conjunction with the acquisition of U.S.&nbsp;AMCI, ANR
Holdings entered into an agreement with entities affiliated with
AMCI that requires the AMCI parties to pay reclamation and other
obligations of one of the former U.S.&nbsp;AMCI entities
acquired by the Company (Solomons Mining Company). In April
2004, the Company entered into an arrangement with the former
owners of U.S.&nbsp;AMCI (the &#147;AMCI&nbsp;Parties&#148;) to
purchase&nbsp;350 tons of coal from a third-party at a price of
$54.50&nbsp;per ton at various

will be paid to the producer of that coal, $12.00&nbsp;per ton
is payable to the AMCI Parties and $8.00&nbsp;per ton is
retained by the Company to fund the remaining reclamation

In connection with our acquisition of Coastal Coal Company, we
acquired an overriding royalty interest in certain properties
located in Virginia and West Virginia owned by El&nbsp;Paso CPG
Company for $11,000 in cash. Effective February&nbsp;1, 2003,
the Company sold the overriding royalty interest to affiliates
of Natural Resource Partners, L.P. (NRP)&nbsp;for $11,850 in
cash. Effective April&nbsp;1, 2003, the Company also sold
substantially all of its fee-owned Virginia mineral properties
to NRP for $53,625 in cash in a sale/leaseback transaction.
Based on the aggregate of $20,219 and $16,028 that the Company
paid to NRP in lease, royalty and property tax reimbursement
payments for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 and 2003,
respectively, NRP is our largest landlord. As of
December&nbsp;31, 2004 and 2003, the Company had $1,430 and
$1,290, respectively, in accounts payable to NRP. In an
unrelated transaction in December 2003, a member of the ANR
Holdings and Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. board of directors
was appointed as a member of the board of directors of
GP&nbsp;Natural Resource Partners, LLC, the general partner of
NRP, and First Reserve became a substantial equity owner of NRP.
The Company believes the production and minimum royalty rates
contained in leases with NRP are consistent with current market
royalty rates.

One of Alpha Natural Resources, LLC&#146;s Executive Vice
Presidents is a 50% owner of Robindale Energy Services, Inc.
(and its subsidiary) (&#147;Robindale&#148;). Robindale is
engaged in the business of waste coal sales and related
businesses in Pennsylvania. From time to time, Robindale has
sold and purchased coal and related products to the operations
of our AMFIRE regional business unit in Pennsylvania. For the
years ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 and 2003, our subsidiaries
Alpha Coal Sales and AMFIRE Mining Company, LLC had purchases of
$799 and $172, respectively, from Robindale for trucking
services and waste coal. For the year ended December&nbsp;31,
2004, the Company had sales of $206 to Robindale. The
outstanding payable to and receivable from Robindale were $42
and $6, respectively, as of December&nbsp;31, 2004. The Company
has agreed that our Executive Vice President&#146;s continued
relationship with Robindale will not cause a breach of his
employment agreement with us, and he has agreed that he will not
participate in any decisions to enter into any transactions that
might be proposed between Robindale and Alpha.

In April 2004, we entered into a coal sales arrangement with

tons through March 2005. Two of the ANR&nbsp;Holdings and Alpha

$14,872 for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 to AMCI
Australia Pty Ltd., an entity owned by two of the Company&#146;s
board members. The Company purchased coal in the amount of

sales of $248 during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 to
XCoal Energy and Resources, an entity in which two members of
Alpha&#146;s board of directors each own more than a 10% equity

of December&nbsp;31, 2004 due to XCoal Energy and Resources. In
addition, American Metals and Coal International, Inc., an
entity owned by two of the Company&#146;s board members,
facilitated a $5,202 coal sales transaction with an
international buyer for no compensation or commission. For the
year ended December&nbsp;31, 2003 the Company recorded sales in
the amount of $5,859 and purchases in the amount of $8,983 with

PCMC allocated its costs to the various entities based primarily

Pittston Coal Sales Corporation (PCSC)&nbsp;provided services to
affiliated companies owned by Pittston Coal Company, including
companies included in the Combined Virginia Entity. PCSC
negotiated and entered into coal sales contracts with customers
using its sales staff. A portion of the cost of PCSC&#146;s
sales department was allocated to the affiliated companies based
on relative coal sales volume. Coal was shipped from affiliated
coal production companies, including companies included in the
Combined Virginia Entity, to customers and PCSC invoiced the
customers and recorded a payable to the affiliated company for
the amount of the customer invoice. PCSC collected the cash on
behalf of the affiliate. Intercompany balances between PCSC and

eliminated and receivables and payables to other affiliated
companies were classified as a component of shareholders&#146;

Cash generated or used by our Predecessor was ultimately
received or provided by The Brink&#146;s Company. During the
period from January&nbsp;1, 2002 to December&nbsp;13, 2002,
Pittston Coal Company contributed $329,964, respectively, of
intercompany amounts owned by its subsidiaries included in the
Combined Virginia Entity to shareholders&#146; equity.

Our Predecessor was included in the consolidated
U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax return filed by The Brink&#146;s
Company. The Brink&#146;s Company&#146;s consolidated provision
and actual cash payments for U.S.&nbsp;federal income taxes were
allocated between the Predecessor and other affiliates of The
Brink&#146;s Company in accordance with The Brink&#146;s
Company&#146;s tax allocation policy. In general, the
consolidated current tax provision of The Brink&#146;s
Company&#146;s was allocated among the affiliates based
principally upon the financial income, taxable income, credits,
and other amounts directly related to the respective affiliate.
The Brink&#146;s Company gave credit to its subsidiaries for the
tax effect of U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax losses and other
attributes to the extent the attributes were utilized on a
consolidated basis. As a result, the allocated affiliate amounts
of taxes payable or refundable are not necessarily comparable to
those that would have resulted if the affiliate had filed
separate tax returns. Net deferred income tax assets of the
Predecessor are reflected as deferred income tax receivable from
parent and are classified as a component of shareholders&#146;
equity.

The Company markets its coal principally to electric utilities
in the United States and international and domestic steel
producers. As of December&nbsp;31, 2004 and 2003, trade accounts
receivable from electric utilities totaled approximately $30,900
and $32,700, respectively. Credit is extended based on an
evaluation of the customer&#146;s financial condition and
collateral is generally not required. Credit losses are provided
for in the combined financial statements and historically have
been minimal. The Company is committed under long-term contracts
to supply coal that meets certain quality requirements at
specified prices. The prices for some multi-year contracts are
adjusted based on economic indices or the contract may include
year-to-year specified price changes. Quantities sold under some
contracts may vary from year to year within certain limits at
the option of the customer. Sales to the Company&#146;s largest
customer in 2004 and 2003 accounted for less than 10% of total
sales for the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 and 2003.

amount of bank letters of credit outstanding as of
December&nbsp;31, 2004 is $52,991. The amount of surety bonds
currently outstanding related to the Company&#146;s reclamation
obligations is presented in note&nbsp;13 to the combined
financial statements. The Company has provided guarantees for
equipment financing obtained by certain of its contract mining
operators totaling approximately $2,700. The estimated fair
value of these guarantees is not significant.

In connection with the Company&#146;s acquisition of Coastal
Coal Company, the seller, El&nbsp;Paso CGP&nbsp;Company, has
agreed to retain and indemnify the Company for all workers&#146;
compensation and black lung claims incurred prior to the
acquisition date of January&nbsp;31, 2003. The majority of this
liability relates to claims in the state of West Virginia. If
El&nbsp;Paso CGP&nbsp;Company fails to honor its agreement with
the Company, then the Company would be liable for the payment of
those claims, which were estimated in April 2004 by the West
Virginia Workers&#146; Compensation Commission to be
approximately $5,369 on an undiscounted basis using claims data
through June&nbsp;30, 2003. El&nbsp;Paso has posted a bond with
the state of West Virginia for the required discounted amount of
$3,722 for claims incurred prior to the acquisition.

One of the Company&#146;s subsidiaries wholly owns National King
Coal, LLC (a mining company) and Gallup Transportation (a
trucking company) (collectively &#147;NKC&#148;). Since its
acquisition by the Company through August 2004, NKC has incurred
cumulative losses of $2,800. While NKC has not experienced sales
revenue growth comparable to our other operations of the
Company, it has been affected by many of the same cost
increases. As a result, we were required to assess the recovery
of the carrying value of the NKC assets. Based on that analysis,
it was determined that the assets of NKC were impaired. An
impairment charge of $5,100 was recorded in September 2004 to
reduce the carrying value of the assets of NKC to their
estimated fair value. A discounted cash flow model was used to
determine fair value.

to receive, subject to certain conditions, an additional
distribution of up to 5% of any profits (which we refer to as

the occurrence of a liquidity event, as defined in the governing
documents of ANR Holdings. Generally, a liquidity event would
occur when ANR Holdings was sold or when it made a public sale
of equity. The provisions of ACM&#146;s limited liability
company agreement also contained put and call rights for the
benefit of the executive and Alpha, respectively, with respect
to the purchased interests and profits interests if the
employment relationship of the executive was terminated. In
general, depending on when the employment relationship was
terminated, the put and call prices were equal to (1)&nbsp;the
sum of the greater of (a)&nbsp;the member&#146;s original
investment minus returns on that investment or (b)&nbsp;the fair
market value, as defined, of the member&#146;s purchased
interest on the date the put was exercised, plus (2)&nbsp;a

interest on the date the put was exercised, with the percentage
increasing from 50% to 100% as the length of the employment
period increased from two to four years from the date ACM was

As part of the Company&#146;s acquisition of the Combined
Virginia Entity, the Company acquired a 32.5% interest in
Dominion Terminal Associates (DTA). DTA is a partnership with
three other companies that operates a leased coal port terminal
in Newport News, Virginia (the Terminal). The Company accounts
for this investment under the equity method for investments. See
note&nbsp;2(p). The Company did not ascribe any value to this
partnership interest when it was acquired.

The Company has the right to use 32.5% of the throughput and
ground storage capacity of the Terminal and pay for this right
based upon an allocation of costs as determined by DTA. The
Brink&#146;s Company guaranteed bonds of the partnership in the
face amount of $43,160 from the financing related to the
construction of the Terminal. The Brink&#146;s Company also paid
its proportionate share of interest on these bonds. The Company
did not assume any obligations associated with these bonds.

For the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 and 2003, and the
period from December&nbsp;14, 2002 to December&nbsp;31, 2002,
the Company made advances to DTA equal to its share of allocated
costs of $3,266, $3,348, and $253, respectively, offset by
outside revenues of $1,763, $1,321 and $57, respectively. The
Company records its share of losses in DTA equal to the amount
of advances. The Company does not guarantee the obligations of
DTA and is not otherwise committed to provide further financial
support. Accordingly, the Company does not reduce its investment
below zero.

In September 2004, Alpha, together with its affiliate American
Metals and Coal International, Inc. (&#147;AMCI&#148;), entered
into a subscription deed with Excelven Pty Ltd, pursuant to
which each party agreed to acquire a 24.5% interest in Excelven
for a purchase price of $6.5&nbsp;million in cash. Excelven,
through its subsidiaries, owns the rights to the Las Carmelitas
mining venture in Venezuela and the related Palmarejo export
port facility on Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela. Alpha made
payments totaling $4,500 for the year ended December&nbsp;31,
2004. The investment is accounted for under the equity method,
and is included in other assets at December&nbsp;31, 2004.

Fund&nbsp;IX Holdings, L.P. based upon their respective
ownership percentage and certain special allocations as provided

As of December&nbsp;31, 2004, the Company has a net operating
loss carryforward (NOL)&nbsp;for federal income tax purposes of
$14,875, which is available to offset future federal taxable
income, if any, through 2024. Also, the Company has a
contribution carryforward of $591 which can be carried forward
for a maximum of five years from the year generated. In
addition, the Company has an alternative minimum tax
(AMT)&nbsp;credit carryforward of $1,249 which can be carried
forward indefinitely to offset future regular tax in excess of
AMT. Due to the likelihood that the AMT will exceed the regular
tax in the future, the Company has provided a valuation
allowance for the portion of deferred tax assets not expected to
be realized. The remaining net deferred tax liability, net of
the valuation allowance, reflects the AMT expected to be paid on
the net taxable temporary differences.

On February&nbsp;10, 1999, the U.S.&nbsp;District Court of the
Eastern District of Virginia entered a final judgment in favor
of certain of The Brink&#146;s Company&#146;s subsidiaries,
including certain of the companies included in the Combined
Virginia Entity, ruling that the Federal Black Lung Excise Tax
(FBLET)&nbsp;is unconstitutional as applied to export coal
sales. The Brink&#146;s Company sought refunds of the FBLET it
paid on export coal sales for all open statutory periods and
received refunds of $2,758 (including interest), of which $2,049
related to the Combined Virginia Entity, during the period from
January&nbsp;1, 2002 to December&nbsp;13, 2002.

On April&nbsp;14, 2005, the Company sold the assets of its
Colorado mining subsidiary, National King Coal LLC, and related
trucking subsidiary, Gallup Transportation and Transloading
Company, LLC (collectively, &#147;NKC&#148;), to an unrelated
third party for cash in the amount of $4,400, plus an amount in
cash equal to the fair market value of NKC&#146;s coal
inventory, and the assumption by the buyer of certain
liabilities of NKC. The Company recorded a gain on the sale of
NKC of $704 in the second quarter of 2005. The results of
operations of NKC for the current and prior periods have been
reported in discontinued operations. National King Coal LLC was
previously reported in the Coal Operations segment and Gallup
Transportation and Transloading Company, LLC was previously
reported in the All Other segment (note&nbsp;22).

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of
Coastal Coal Company, LLC and subsidiary (the Company) as of
December&nbsp;31, 2002, and the related consolidated statements
of operations, changes in members&#146; equity and comprehensive
income (loss), and cash flows for the period from
January&nbsp;1, 2003 to January&nbsp;31, 2003 and the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2002. These consolidated financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company&#146;s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Coastal Coal Company, LLC and subsidiary as of
December&nbsp;31, 2002 and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for the period from January&nbsp;1, 2003 to

in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in

receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts consists of an
amount for specifically identified uncollectable accounts and a
general allowance based on historical losses for all accounts.
The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure
related to its customers.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS)&nbsp;No.&nbsp;144, <I>Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets</I>, provides a single accounting
model for long-lived assets to be disposed of.
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;144 also changes the criteria for classifying
an asset as held for sale; and broadens the scope of businesses
to be disposed of that quality for reporting as discontinued
operations and changes the timing of recognizing losses on such
operations. The Company adopted SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;144 on
January&nbsp;1, 2002.

In accordance with SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;144, long-lived assets,
such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased
intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated
undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the
asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated
future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the
amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the
fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be
separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the
lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell,
and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a
disposal group classified as held for sale would be presented
separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of
the balance sheet.

the estimated future cash flows underlying the initial fair
value measurement. Upon adoption, impacted financial statement
line items were property, plant, and equipment, net; other
current liabilities; other noncurrent liabilities; and the net
cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle.
Property, plant, and equipment, net increased by $2,125,877;
other current liabilities decreased by $2,524,368; other
noncurrent liabilities decreased by $2,111,836; and the
cumulative effect of the accounting change of $6,762,081 was
reflected in the consolidated statement of income for the period
from January&nbsp;1, 2003 to January&nbsp;31, 2003.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;143, expenditures
relating to environmental regulatory requirements and
reclamation costs undertaken during mine operations were charged
against earnings as incurred. Estimated site restoration and
post closure reclamation costs were charged against earnings
using the unit-of-production method over the expected economic
life of each mine. Accrued reclamation costs were subject to
review by management on a regular basis and were revised when
appropriate for changes in future estimated costs and/or
regulatory requirements.

Leases, which require minimum annual or advance payments and are
recoverable from future production, are generally deferred and
charged to expense as the coal is subsequently produced. At
December&nbsp;31, 2002, advance mining royalties totaled
approximately $7.8&nbsp;million, of which approximately
$1.7&nbsp;million is included in prepaid expenses and other
current assets. The Company periodically assesses the
recoverability of such prepaid minimum royalties based on
current operating plans, expiration dates of such prepaid
royalties, and the economic environment in the coal industry,
and records a charge to earnings when it is deemed more likely
than not that such amounts will not be recovered.

assumptions made by the Company include the allowance for
doubtful accounts; recoverable mineral tonnage in the ground;
pension and postretirement accruals; reclamation and mine
closure obligations; black lung and workers&#146; compensation
liabilities; and inventory obsolescence. Actual results could

In fiscal 2001, as a result of changes occurring in the energy
industry, the Company assessed the carrying values of property,
plant, and equipment and determined that the carrying amounts of
certain of its assets were impaired. As a result, the Company
reduced historical carrying values of certain of its property,
plant and equipment to their estimated fair market values. The
impairment charge recorded totaled approximately
$127.6&nbsp;million.

Between March and June of 2002, the Company approved a plan to
terminate approximately 100 coal-mining and administrative
employees located in Virginia and Kentucky. As compensation for
their termination, the Company offered terminated employees a
benefits package based upon the employees&#146; years of service
and levels of income. Approximately $70,000 and
$3.3&nbsp;million of such benefits expense was incurred for the
period from January&nbsp;1, 2003 to January&nbsp;31, 2003 and
the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2002, respectively.
Approximately $528,000 was unpaid at December&nbsp;31, 2002 and
is included in other current liabilities.

In connection with services rendered in obtaining the black lung
excise tax refund (see note&nbsp;2), the Company has agreed to
pay portions of the refund to certain third parties. This amount
is included in current and noncurrent liabilities.

Under the Federal Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of
1977 and similar state statutes, mine property is required to be
restored in accordance with regulated standards. The
establishment of the reclamation liability is based on permit
requirements and requires various estimates and assumptions,
principally associated with costs and timing of expenditures.
The Company periodically reviews its entire environmental
liability and makes necessary adjustments, including permit
changes, revisions to costs and timing of expenditures to
reflect current experience.

The Company leases coal properties to independent third parties
under terms requiring periodic minimum royalty payments. These
payments are recorded by the Company as deferred royalty income
when received and are recognized into income using the units of
production method associated with specific reserves covered
under the lease. At December&nbsp;31, 2002, the Company has
approximately $223,000 of deferred royalty income to be
recognized in future periods, which is included in other current
liabilities.

Company&#146;s then parent company, El&nbsp;Paso, received the
right to receive an overriding royalty on the coal produced from
the assets sold. The majority of the coal properties were leased
back to the Company. The total gain was approximately
$11.2&nbsp;million. The Company has deferred the gain on the
sale of the coal properties amounting to approximately
$7.7&nbsp;million as of December&nbsp;31, 2002, of which
approximately $325,000 is included in other current liabilities.

The Company had a long-term supply contract with American
Electric Power (AEP) at a below market price. The terms of the
contract were for 1.2&nbsp;million tons annually until
June&nbsp;30, 2005. On December&nbsp;9, 2002, the Company
entered into a termination and release agreement, whereby AEP
agreed to terminate its contract with the Company and release
the Company from any further obligations under the supply
agreement in exchange for a settlement payment of approximately
$16.1&nbsp;million. This amount was recorded as a loss during
2002 and is included in other current liabilities in the
consolidated balance sheet as of December&nbsp;31, 2002.

For tax years 1996 though 2007, Virginia companies with an
economic interest in coal, earn tax credits based upon tons
sold, seam thickness, and employment levels. The maximum credit
earned equals $0.40&nbsp;per ton for surface mined coal and
$1.00 or $2.00&nbsp;per ton for deep mined coal depending on
seam thickness. Credits allowable are deducted from the maximum
amounts if employment levels are not maintained from the
previous year, and no credit is allowed for coal sold to
Virginia utilities. Currently, the cash benefit of the credit is
realized between three and four years after being earned and
either offsets taxes imposed by Virginia at 100% or is
refundable by the state at 85% of the face value to the extent
taxes are not owed. The credits are available or refundable to
El&nbsp;Paso. The Company records the present value of the
credit as a reduction of current year operating costs and as an
adjustment to due from related parties as it is earned. The
reduction to operating costs for the period from January&nbsp;1,
2003 to January&nbsp;31, 2003, and for the year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2002 was approximately $116,000 and
$1.3&nbsp;million, respectively.

Coal mining companies are subject to the Federal Coal Mine
Health and Safety Act of 1969 (the Act), as amended, and various
states&#146; statutes for the payment of medical and disability
benefits to eligible recipients related to coal worker&#146;s
pneumoconiosis (black lung). The Company provides for these
claims principally through a self-insurance program. The
liability for such claims is determined based upon an annual
evaluation prepared by the Company&#146;s independent actuaries.

On December&nbsp;20, 2000, the United States Department of Labor
published revised administrative rules with respect to the Act.
The revised regulations are expected to increase the cost of
benefits paid under the Act by generating an increase to the
approval rate of claims filed under the Act as well as an
increase to the average cost per claim filed under the Act. The
Company&#146;s black lung reserves incorporate an estimate of
the increase in the frequency and severity of black lung claims
due to the Department of Labor&#146;s revised administrative
rules. However, due to lack of historical data with regards to
the effect of the revised administrative rules, it is possible
that actual results may materially differ from the estimate
provided above.

The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering
substantially all employees which provides for retirement
benefits based upon an employee&#146;s credited service at
termination and, for salaried employees, compensation history.
Funding for the plan is based upon a review of the specific
requirements and an evaluation of the assets and liabilities of
the plan.

In addition to the Company&#146;s defined benefit pension plan,
the Company also sponsors a defined benefit health care plan.
The plan provides certain medical, dental and life insurance
benefits to eligible retired employees. Employees of the Company
generally become eligible for retiree health care benefits by
retiring from the Company after reaching ages&nbsp;50 or 55,
depending upon the nature of their service to the Company, and
attaining ten years of service. Generally, the medical and
dental plans pay a stated percentage of most medical expenses
reduced for any deductibles and payments made by government
programs and other group coverage. The postretirement medical,
dental and life insurance plans are unfunded. The measurement
date used to determine pension and postretirement benefit
measures is September&nbsp;30.

The Company mines coal on properties leased from independent
third parties. Under the terms of the leases, the Company pays
production royalties based on a percentage of the net sales
price of coal produced or based on the actual tonnage mined from
the leased premises. The Company&#146;s mineral leases require
the Company to pay minimum royalties. Some of such leases have
fixed terms and others are effective until exhaustion of the
mineral reserves. Future minimum royalty payments under mineral
lease agreements at December&nbsp;31, 2002 were as follows:

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Company as of December&nbsp;31, 2002 and 2001
and the results of their operations and cash flows for the
period January&nbsp;1, 2003 to November&nbsp;17, 2003 and years
ended December&nbsp;31, 2002 and 2001 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

As discussed in note&nbsp;2 to the combined financial
statements, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Statement
No.&nbsp;143, <I>Accounting for Asset Retirement

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount
and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is
the Company&#146;s best estimate of the amount of probable
credit losses in the Company&#146;s existing accounts
receivable. The Company establishes provisions for losses on
accounts receivable when it is probable that all or part of the
outstanding balance will not be collected. The Company regularly
reviews collectibility and establishes or adjusts the allowance
as necessary using the specific identification method. The
allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 and $4,375 at
December&nbsp;31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Account balances
are charged off against the allowance after all means of
collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is
considered remote. The Company does not have any
off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB)&nbsp;issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS)&nbsp;No.&nbsp;143, <I>Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations.</I> SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;143 requires the Company to
record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a
liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation
associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets
that result from the acquisition, construction, development,
and/or normal use of the assets. The Company also records a
corresponding asset that is depreciated over the life of the
asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset
retirement obligation, the obligation will be adjusted at the
end of each period to reflect the passage of time and changes in
the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation.

The Company has future obligations to reclaim properties
disturbed in conjunction with coal operations under federal and
state laws. Some reclamation of disturbed acreage is performed
as a normal part of the mining process with the remainder done
at the end of the life of the mine. The Company adopted
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;143, <I>Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations,</I> on January&nbsp;1, 2003. Upon adoption,
property, plant, and equipment (net) were increased by
$2,163,446; asset retirement obligations were increased by
$2,474,301; and the cumulative effect of the accounting change
was $(310,855).

Prior to January&nbsp;1, 2003, the estimated cost for mine
reclamation was provided for using the units of production
method over the economic life of the mine. Estimated reclamation
costs were subject to review by management on a regular basis
and revised when appropriate for changes in future estimated
costs and/or regulatory requirements.

Rights to leased coal lands are often acquired in exchange for
royalty payments. Advance mining royalties are advance payments
made to lessors under terms of mineral lease agreements that are
recoupable against future production. These advance payments are
deferred and charged to operations as the coal reserves are
mined. In instances where advance payments are not expected to
be offset against future production royalties, no asset is
recognized and the scheduled future minimum payments are
recognized as liabilities.

In accordance with SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;144, <I>Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets,</I> long-lived
assets, such as property, plant, equipment, and purchased
intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated
undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the
asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated
future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the
amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the
fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be
separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the
lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell
and would no longer be depreciated. The assets and liabilities
of a disposal group classified as held for sale would be
presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability
sections of the balance sheet.

under long-term supply agreements. Additional production from
Company reserves not covered under supply contracts is sold on
the open market. The Company is subject to risks and
uncertainties related to the creditworthiness of customers in
the energy industry as well as price, supply, demand, and other
volatility associated with coal commodity markets. Commodities
markets and economic conditions have been volatile in the past
and can be expected to be volatile in the future.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. The more significant items requiring the use of
management estimates are allowances for doubtful accounts;
mineral reserves; reclamation and mine closure obligations;
employee benefit liabilities; future cash flows associated with
assets; and useful lives for depreciation, depletion, and
amortization. Due to the prospective nature of these estimates,
actual results could differ from those estimates.

have been included. Results of operations for the six months

In May 2004, Nicewonder Contracting entered into a contract
agreement with the West Virginia Department of Transportation
Division of Highways (WVDOH) for the construction of a road
project by performing excavation services and providing subgrade
materials to assist in the construction of the road. The road
project is titled the &#147;Red Jacket Project&#148; and is part
of the King Coal Highway project in West Virginia. As part of
the agreement, Nicewonder Contracting is assisting the WVDOH by
assuming the lead role in obtaining from large tract owners
sufficient legal rights to the rights-of-ways necessary to
construct the Red Jacket Project and assisting in getting the
surface lands and rights-of-ways conveyed to WVDOH. The project
is expected to take approximately six years to complete. The Red
Jacket Project is Nicewonder Contracting&#146;s only project in
progress as of June&nbsp;30, 2005.

Based on the terms of the contract with WVDOH, Nicewonder
Contracting is reimbursed based on units of in-place cubic yards
excavated and associated unit costs. The road construction
project is expected to be a zero profit contract over the life
of the project. As part of the contract agreement, Nicewonder
Contracting is allowed to remove and sell any and all coal
excavated during the construction process with all coal sales
revenue recognized by Nicewonder Contracting.

Under the Federal Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of
1977 and similar state statutes, mine property is required to be
restored in accordance with regulated standards. The
establishment of the asset retirement obligation accrual for
mine reclamation and mine closure costs is based on permit
requirements and requires various estimates and assumptions,
principally associated with costs, productivities, and timing of
expenditures. The Company periodically reviews its entire
environmental liability and makes necessary adjustments,
including permit changes, revisions to costs and productivities
to reflect current experience, and accretion related to the
liability.

At June&nbsp;30, 2005 and December&nbsp;31, 2004, the Company
has recorded asset retirement obligation accruals for mine
reclamation and closure costs totaling $9,180,400 and
$8,922,800, respectively. The portion of the costs expected to
be incurred within one year in the amount of $392,000 at
June&nbsp;30, 2005 is included in accrued expenses and other
current liabilities. Changes in the asset retirement obligation

Notes payable&nbsp;&#151; stockholders&#146; distributions
consisted of notes payable issued to the stockholders of the
Company in lieu of cash distributions. The notes are noninterest
bearing and are due on demand. However, each December&nbsp;31,
the stockholders waive their rights to call the amounts due for
a period of 18&nbsp;months. The outstanding balance of the notes
payable&nbsp;&#151; stockholders&#146; distributions at
June&nbsp;30, 2005 and December&nbsp;31, 2004 was $28,778,988
and $41,313,293, respectively. Given the nature of these notes
payable to stockholders, the notes have been reflected as part
of total stockholders&#146; equity and members&#146; equity in

In November&nbsp;2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS)&nbsp;No.&nbsp;151, <I>Inventory Costs</I>which amends the
guidance in ARB No.&nbsp;43, Chapter&nbsp;4 <I>Inventory
Pricing,</I> to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of
idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted
material (spoilage). Paragraph&nbsp;5 of ARB&nbsp;43,
Chapter&nbsp;4, previously stated that under some circumstances,
items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double
freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require
treatment as current period charges. SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;151
requires that those items be recognized as current-period
charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of
&#147;so abnormal.&#148; In addition, SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;151
requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the
costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the
production facilities. SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;151 shall be effective
for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after
June&nbsp;15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for
inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after the
date SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;151 was issued. SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;151
shall be applied prospectively. The Company

In December&nbsp;2004, the FASB issued SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;153,
<I>Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, </I>which amends Accounting
Principles Board (APB)&nbsp;Opinion No.&nbsp;29, <I>Accounting
for Nonmonetary Transactions.</I> APB Opinion No.&nbsp;29 is
based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets
should be measured based on the fair value of the assets
exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, included
certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;153
amends APB Opinion No.&nbsp;29 to eliminate the exception for
nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces
it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets
that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange
has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity
are expected to change significantly as a result of the
exchange. SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;153 shall be effective for
nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods
beginning after June&nbsp;15, 2005. Earlier application is
permitted for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal
periods beginning after the date SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;153 was

The Company does not expect the adoption of
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;153 to have a material effect on its combined
financial statements.

On March&nbsp;17, 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF)&nbsp;of the FASB reached consensus on EITF Issue
No.&nbsp;04-6, <I>Accounting for Stripping Costs Incurred during
Production in the Mining Industry,</I> and on March&nbsp;30,
2005, the FASB Board ratified the consensus. The EITF reached
consensus that stripping costs incurred during the production
phase of a mine are variable production costs that should be
included in the costs of inventory produced during the period
that the stripping costs are incurred. ETIF&nbsp;04-6 is
effective for the first reporting period in fiscal years
beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2005 with early adoption
permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of
EITF&nbsp;04-6 will have any material financial statement impact.

In March&nbsp;2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No.&nbsp;47,
<I>Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations,</I>
an interpretation of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;143, <I>Accounting for
Asset Retirement Obligations.</I> This Interpretation clarifies
that an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair
value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred
if the liability&#146;s fair value can be reasonably estimated.
The provisions of this pronouncement are effective for fiscal
years ending after December&nbsp;15, 2005. The Company does not
expect the adoption of Interpretation No.&nbsp;47 will have any
material financial statement impact.

In June&nbsp;2005, the FASB issued SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;154,
<I>Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,</I> a replacement
of APB Opinion No.&nbsp;20 and FASB Statement No.&nbsp;3. The
statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting
principle, and changes the requirements for accounting for and
reporting of a change in accounting principle.
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;154 requires retrospective application to
prior periods&#146; financial statements of a voluntary change
in accounting principle unless it is impracticable.
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;154 is effective for accounting changes and
corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after
December&nbsp;15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for
accounting changes and corrections of errors made occurring in
fiscal years beginning after June&nbsp;1, 2005. The statement
does not change the transition provisions of any existing
accounting pronouncements, including those that are in a
transition phase as of the effective date of this statement. The
Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;154
to have a material effect on its combined financial statements.

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of The
Combined Entities of The Nicewonder Coal Group (the Company) as
of December&nbsp;31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, and the related
combined statements of income, stockholders&#146; equity and
members&#146; equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows
for the years then ended. These combined financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company&#146;s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration
of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company&#146;s internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of The Combined Entities of The Nicewonder Coal Group
as of December&nbsp;31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No.&nbsp;144, <I>Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets</I>, long-lived assets, such as
property, plant, equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to
amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an
asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be
held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount
of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected
to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is
recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the
asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed
of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and
reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less
costs to sell, and would no longer be depreciated. The assets
and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale
would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and
liability sections of the balance sheet.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB)&nbsp;issued SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;143, <I>Accounting for
Asset Retirement Obligations.</I> SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;143
requires the Company to record the fair value of an asset
retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it
incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of
tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition,
construction, development, and/or normal use of the assets. In
addition, the Company records a corresponding asset that is
depreciated over the life of the asset. Subsequent to the
initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the
obligation is adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the
passage of time and changes in the estimated future cash flows
underlying the obligation.

retirement obligations were increased by $5,940,800; other

Lease rights to coal lands are often acquired in exchange for
royalty payments. Advance mining royalties are advance payments
made to lessors under terms of mineral lease agreements that are
recoupable against future production. These advance payments are
deferred and charged to operations as the coal reserves are
mined. The Company regularly reviews recoverability of advance
mining royalties and establishes or adjusts an allowance for
advance mining royalties as necessary using the specific
identification method. In instances where advance payments are
not expected to be offset against future production royalties,
the Company establishes a provision for losses on the advance
payments that have been paid and the scheduled future minimum
payments are expensed and recognized as liabilities.

The Company recognizes revenue on coal sales when title passes
to the customer in accordance with the terms of the sales
agreement. Revenue from coal sales is recorded at the time of
shipment or delivery to the customer, and the customer takes
ownership and assumes risk of loss based on shipping terms.
Revenues are computed on the basis of the final adjusted per ton

The Company recognizes revenue on long-term road construction
contracts using the percentage-of-completion method, based upon
the percentage of cubic yards excavated to date to the current
estimate of total cubic yards to be excavated to complete each
project in process at year end. Projected losses are provided
for in their entirety in the accounting period that such losses
become evident, without reference to the completion status of
such projects. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and
estimated profitability, including those arising from contract
penalty provisions, change orders, claims and final contract
settlements may result in revisions in total cubic yards to be
excavated and earned revenues and are reflected during the
accounting period in which the facts giving rise to such

The entities which are corporations have elected to be taxed
under the provision of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue
Code. Therefore, these corporations do not pay federal or state
corporate income taxes on their taxable income. Instead, the
stockholders of the Subchapter S&nbsp;corporations are liable
for individual federal and state income taxes on their
proportionate share of the corporations&#146; taxable income.
Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is included in the
accompanying combined financial statements.

Certain entities are limited liability companies, which are
taxed as partnerships for federal and state income tax purposes.
Therefore, no provisions for federal or state income taxes is
made since such taxes, if any, are the responsibility of the
members.

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS)&nbsp;No.&nbsp;151, <I>Inventory Costs </I>which amends
the guidance in ARB No.&nbsp;43, Chapter&nbsp;4 <I>Inventory
Pricing</I>, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of
idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted
material (spoilage). Paragraph&nbsp;5 of ARB 43, Chapter&nbsp;4,
previously stated that under some circumstances, items such as
idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and
rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as
current period charges. SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;151 requires that
those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless
of whether they meet the criterion of &#147;so abnormal.&#148;
In addition, SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;151 requires that allocation of
fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based
on the normal capacity of the production facilities.
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;151 shall be effective for inventory costs
incurred during fiscal years beginning after June&nbsp;15, 2005.
Earlier application is permitted for inventory costs incurred
during fiscal years beginning after the date
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;151 was issued. SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;151 shall
be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect the
adoption of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;151 to have a material effect on
its combined financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;153,
<I>Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets</I>, which amends Accounting
Principles Board (APB) Opinion No.&nbsp;29, <I>Accounting for
Nonmonetary Transactions.</I> APB Opinion No.&nbsp;29 is based
on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be
measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The
guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions
to that principle. SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;153 amends APB Opinion
No.&nbsp;29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges
of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general
exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have
commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial
substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to
change significantly as a result of the exchange.
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;153 shall be effective for nonmonetary asset
exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after
June&nbsp;15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for
nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods
beginning after the date SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;153 was issued.
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;153 shall be applied prospectively. The
Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;153
to have a material effect on its combined financial statements.

On March&nbsp;17, 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF)&nbsp;of the FASB reached consensus on EITF Issue
No.&nbsp;04-6, <I>Accounting for Stripping Costs Incurred during
Production in the Mining Industry</I>, and on March&nbsp;30,
2005, the FASB Board ratified the consensus. The EITF reached
consensus that stripping costs incurred during the production
phase of a mine are variable production costs that should be
included in the costs of inventory produced during the period
that the stripping costs are incurred. ETIF

In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No.&nbsp;47,
<I>Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations</I>,
an interpretation of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;143, <I>Accounting for
Asset Retirement Obligations.</I> This Interpretation clarifies
that an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair
value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred
if the liability&#146;s fair value can be reasonably estimated.
The provisions of this pronouncement are effective for fiscal
years ending after December&nbsp;15, 2005. The Company does not
expect the adoption of Interpretation No.&nbsp;47 will have any
material financial statement impact.

In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;154,
<I>Accounting Changes and Error Corrections</I>, a replacement
of APB Opinion No.&nbsp;20 and FASB Statement No.&nbsp;3. The
statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting
principle, and changes the requirements for accounting for and
reporting of a change in accounting principle.
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;154 requires retrospective application to
prior periods&#146; financial statements of a voluntary change
in accounting principle unless it is impracticable.
SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;154 is effective for accounting changes and
corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after
December&nbsp;15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for
accounting changes and corrections of errors made occurring in
fiscal years beginning after June&nbsp;1, 2005. The statement
does not change the transition provisions of any existing
accounting pronouncements, including those that are in a
transition phase as of the effective date of this statement. The
Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;154
to have a material effect on its combined financial statements.

The preparation of the combined financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions
include the inventories; mineral reserves; asset retirement
obligations; future cash flows associated with assets;
construction contract revenues and expenses; useful lives for
depreciation, depletion, and amortization; and fair value of
financial instruments. Due to the subjective nature of these
estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes payable&nbsp;&#151; stockholders&#146; distributions
consisted of notes payable issued to the stockholders of the
Company in lieu of cash distributions. The notes are noninterest
bearing and are due on demand. However, each December&nbsp;31,
the stockholders waive their rights to call the amounts due for
a period of 18&nbsp;months. The outstanding balance of the notes
payable&nbsp;&#151; stockholders&#146; distributions at
December&nbsp;31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $41,313,293,
$32,685,477 and $34,812,477, respectively. Given the nature of
these notes payable to stockholders, the notes have been
reflected as part of total stockholders&#146; equity and
members&#146; equity in the accompanying combined financial
statements.

In May 2004, Nicewonder Contracting entered into a contract
agreement with the West Virginia Department of Transportation
Division of Highways (WVDOH) for the construction of a road
project by performing excavation services and providing subgrade
materials to assist in the construction of the road. The road
project is titled the &#147;Red Jacket Project&#148; and is part
of the King Coal Highway project in West Virginia. As part of
the agreement, Nicewonder Contracting is assisting the WVDOH by
assuming the lead role in obtaining from large tract owners
sufficient legal rights to the rights-of-ways necessary to
construct the Red Jacket Project and assisting in getting the
surface lands and rights-of-ways conveyed to WVDOH. The project
is expected to take approximately six years to complete. The Red
Jacket Project is Nicewonder Contracting&#146;s only project in
progress as of December&nbsp;31, 2004.

Based on the terms of the contract with WVDOH, Nicewonder
Contracting is reimbursed based on units of in-place cubic yards
excavated and associated unit costs. The road construction
project is expected to be a zero profit contract over the life
of the project. As part of the contract agreement, Nicewonder
Contracting is allowed to remove and sell any and all coal
excavated during the construction process with all coal sales
revenue recognized by Nicewonder Contracting.

The Company markets its coal principally to electric utilities
in the United States and domestic steel producers. Credit is
extended based on an evaluation of the customer&#146;s financial
condition and collateral is generally not required. Credit
losses are provided for in the combined financial statements and
historically have been minimal. The Company is committed under
long-term contracts to supply coal that meets certain quality
requirements at specified prices. The prices for some multi-year
contracts are adjusted based on economic indices or the contract
may include year-to-year specified price changes. Quantities
sold under some contracts may vary from year to year within
certain limits at the option of the customer.

Section&nbsp;174 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that
a director, who willfully or negligently approves of an unlawful
payment of dividends or an unlawful stock purchase or
redemption, may be held liable for such actions. A director who
was either absent when the unlawful actions were approved or
dissented at the time, may avoid liability by causing his or her
dissent to such actions to be entered in the books containing
the minutes of the meetings of the board of directors at the
time such action occurred or immediately after such absent
director receives notice of the unlawful acts.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers
and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment
by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary does not contain all of the information you
    should consider in making your investment decision. Before
    investing in our common stock, you should carefully read this
    entire document, including our combined historical and pro forma
    financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere
    in this prospectus. You should also carefully consider, among
    other things, the matters discussed under "Risk
    Factors" and "Management's Discussion and
    Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
    Operations."
Unless the context otherwise indicates, as used in this
    prospectus, the terms "Alpha," "we,"
    "our," "us" and similar terms refer to
    (1) the majority of the Virginia coal operations of
    Pittston Coal Company, a subsidiary of The Brink's Company
    (our "Predecessor") with respect to periods on and
    prior to December 13, 2002, (2) ANR Fund IX
    Holdings, L.P. and Alpha NR Holding, Inc. and subsidiaries on a
    combined basis with respect to periods from and after
    December 14, 2002 until the completion of our Internal
    Restructuring as defined and described below, and (3) Alpha
    Natural Resources, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries with
    respect to periods from and after the completion of our Internal
    Restructuring.
All references to Alpha Natural Resources, Inc., including
    the business description, operating data and financial data,
    exclude the former Colorado operations of our NatCoal, LLC and
    GTTC, LLC subsidiaries (collectively, "NKC"), which
    were sold to a third party on April 14, 2005 and are
    accounted for herein as discontinued operations. References to
    pro forma financial information reflect (1) for statement
    of operations and other data, the consummation of our Internal
    Restructuring, 2004 Financings and IPO, as defined and described
    below under "— Alpha Summary Historical and Pro Forma
    Financial Data," and the 2005 Financing and Nicewonder
    Acquisition as defined and described below under "—
    Nicewonder Acquisition," in each case as if these events
    had occurred on January 1, 2004 and (2) for balance
    sheet data, the consummation of the 2005 Financing and
    Nicewonder Acquisition, in each case as if these events had
    occurred on June 30, 2005. See "Unaudited Pro Forma
    Financial Information."
Alpha Natural Resources
We are a leading Appalachian coal producer. Our reserves
    primarily consist of high Btu, low sulfur steam coal that is
    currently in high demand in U.S. coal markets and
    metallurgical coal that is currently in high demand in both U.S.
    and international coal markets. We produce, process and sell
    steam and metallurgical coal from seven regional business units,
    which, as of September 15, 2005, are supported by 44 active
    underground mines, 20 active surface mines and 11 preparation
    plants located throughout Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky and
    Pennsylvania. We are also actively involved in the purchase and
    resale of coal mined by others, the majority of which we blend
    with coal produced from our mines, allowing us to realize a
    higher overall margin for the blended product than we would be
    able to achieve selling these coals separately.
Steam coal, which is primarily purchased by large utilities and
    industrial customers as fuel for electricity generation,
    accounted for approximately 58% of our coal sales volume in the
    first six months of 2005 and 63% of our 2004 coal sales volume.
    The majority of our steam coal sales volume in the first six
    months of 2005 and during 2004 consisted of high Btu (above
    12,500 Btu content per pound), low sulfur (sulfur content of
    1.5% or less) coal, which typically sells at a premium to
    lower-Btu, higher-sulfur steam coal. Metallurgical coal, which
    is used primarily to make coke, a key component in the steel
    making process, accounted for approximately 42% of our coal
    sales volume in the first six months of 2005 and 37% of our 2004
    coal sales volume. Metallurgical coal generally sells at a
    premium over steam coal because of its higher quality and its
    value in the steelmaking process as the raw material for coke.
    Under current market conditions, we are able to market a
    significant portion of our higher quality steam coal as
    metallurgical coal.
During the first six months of 2005, we sold a total of
    12.2 million tons of steam and metallurgical coal and
    generated revenues of $729.8 million, EBITDA of
    $53.9 million and net income of $0.6 million. We
    define and reconcile EBITDA, and explain its importance, in note
    (1) to the table under "— Alpha
1
Table of Contents
Summary Historical and Pro Forma Financial Data." In 2004,
we sold a total of 25.3 million tons of steam and
metallurgical coal and generated revenues of
$1,252.7 million, EBITDA of $99.5 million and net
income of $20.0 million. Our coal sales during the first
six months of 2005 consisted of 9.8 million tons of
produced and processed coal, including 0.6 million tons
purchased from third parties and processed at our processing
plants or loading facilities prior to resale, and
2.4 million tons of purchased coal that we resold without
processing. Our coal sales during 2004 consisted of
18.9 million tons of produced and processed coal, including
0.9 million tons purchased from third parties and processed
at our processing plants or loading facilities prior to resale,
and 6.4 million tons of purchased coal that we resold
without processing. We sold a total of 3.0 million tons of
purchased coal during the first six months of 2005 and
7.3 million tons in 2004, of which approximately 73% and
81%, respectively, was blended with coal produced from our mines
prior to resale. Approximately 47% of our sales revenue in the
first six months of 2005 and in 2004 was derived from sales made
outside the United States, primarily in Japan, Canada, Brazil,
Korea and several countries in Europe.
As of July 31, 2005, we owned or leased 492.2 million
tons of proven and probable coal reserves. Of our total proven
and probable reserves, approximately 89% are low sulfur
reserves, with approximately 57% having sulfur content below
1.0%. Approximately 94% of our total proven and probable
reserves have a high Btu content. We believe that our total
proven and probable reserves will support current production
levels for more than 25 years.
Nicewonder Acquisition
On September 23, 2005, we entered into agreements to
acquire certain privately held coal reserves and operations in
southern West Virginia and southwestern Virginia (the
"Nicewonder Acquisition"). Pursuant to the agreements
and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions
therein, we have agreed to purchase the outstanding capital
stock of White Flame Energy, Inc., Twin Star Mining, Inc. and
Nicewonder Contracting, Inc., the equity interests of Powers
Shop, LLC and Buchanan Energy, LLC and substantially all of the
assets of Mate Creek Energy of W. Va., Inc. and Virginia Energy
Company, and to acquire Premium Energy, Inc. by merger (together
referred to as the "Nicewonder Coal Group"). We have
agreed to pay an aggregate purchase price of $316.2 million
for the Nicewonder Coal Group, including $35.2 million in
cash, $221.0 million principal amount of promissory
installment notes of one of our indirect, wholly owned
subsidiaries, payable in two installments of $181.1 million
one week after closing and $39.9 million on
January 15, 2006, and the issuance of a number of shares of
our common stock having a fair market value of approximately
$60.0 million based on the weighted average trading price
of our common stock during the 20-day trading period immediately
prior to the closing, subject to certain adjustments. The
purchase price is subject to certain working capital and other
adjustments.
We anticipate that we will close our purchase of the Nicewonder
Coal Group in late October 2005; however, it is possible that
the Nicewonder Acquisition may not be consummated in that time
period or at all. Closing of the acquisition of the Nicewonder
Coal Group is subject to certain conditions set forth in the
acquisition agreements, including securing financing, receiving
necessary regulatory approvals, entering into definitive
agreements with certain customers of the Nicewonder Coal Group,
receiving certain third party consents and other customary
conditions.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 and the six
months ended June 30, 2005, the Nicewonder Coal Group
produced approximately 3.8 million and 2.0 million
tons of coal, respectively. For the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2004 and the six months ended June 30,
2005, the Nicewonder Coal Group generated revenues of
approximately $144.6 million and $98.3 million,
respectively, and EBITDA of $37.4 million and
$33.2 million, respectively. EBITDA for the Nicewonder Coal
Group is reconciled in note (1) under
"— Nicewonder Summary Historical Financial
Data."
As of July 31, 2005, the Nicewonder Coal Group had
approximately 26.7 million tons of proven and probable
reserves, a majority of which are low sulfur. As of
September 30, 2005, the Nicewonder Coal Group had 394
employees, all of whom were employed on a union-free basis. Don
Nicewonder, the current principal owner of the Nicewonder Coal
Group, will enter into a three-year consulting agreement
2
Table of Contents
with Alpha upon closing of the acquisition. Following the
completion of the Nicewonder Acquisition, the operations
acquired from the Nicewonder Coal Group will constitute a new
eighth business unit, although we may eventually integrate these
operations into our seven existing business units.
On September 23, 2005, we entered into a commitment letter
    with certain lenders for a new $500.0 million credit
    facility (the "2005 Financing") consisting of a
    $250.0 million term loan facility and a $250.0 million
    revolving credit facility. We plan to use the net proceeds of
    the term loan facility and a portion of the proceeds from
    drawings under the revolving credit facility to finance the
    Nicewonder Acquisition and to refinance our existing
    $175.0 million credit facility, which currently provides
    for a revolving line of credit of up to $125 million and a
    funded letter of credit facility of $50 million. The
    closing of the 2005 Financing is subject to the closing of the
    Nicewonder Acquisition and other customary conditions.
Competitive Strengths
We believe that the combination of the following competitive
    strengths distinguishes us from our competitors.
We provide a comprehensive range of steam and metallurgical
    coal products that are in high demand.
Our reserves enable
    us to provide customers with coal products that are in high
    demand — including high Btu, low sulfur steam coal,
    and low, medium and high volatile metallurgical coal. Steam coal
    customers value high Btu coal because it fuels electricity
    generation more efficiently than lower energy content coal. In
    addition, the demand for clean burning, low sulfur coal has
    grown significantly since the implementation of sulfur emission
    restrictions mandated by the Clean Air Act. Metallurgical coal
    customers require precise coal characteristics to meet their
    coke production specifications and generally value low volatile
    metallurgical coal more highly than other categories of
    metallurgical coal.
Our flexible mining operations and diversified asset base
    allow us to manage costs while capitalizing on market
    opportunities.
Our 64 active mines, 11 preparation plants
    and seven regional business units are supported by flexible and
    cost-effective use of our mining equipment and personnel. Our
    mining equipment is interchangeable and can be redirected easily
    at a relatively low cost, providing us with flexibility to
    respond to changing geologic, operating and market conditions.
    The diversity of our portfolio of mines and preparation plants
    allows us to move resources between existing or new operations
    and limits our mine concentration risk.
Our ability to provide customized product offerings creates
    valuable market opportunities, strengthens our customer
    relationships and improves profitability.
We have a
    "customer-focused" marketing strategy that, combined
    with our comprehensive range of coal product offerings and
    established marketing network, enables us to customize our coal
    deliveries to a customer's precise needs and
    specifications. The products we sell to our customers will often
    be a blend of internally produced coal and coal we have
    purchased from third parties, in contrast to the more
    traditional approach of only offering coal produced from captive
    mines. We believe our commitment to providing high quality coal
    products designed to our customers' specifications enables
    us to maintain strong customer relationships while maximizing
    the value of our coal reserves.
Our primary operating focus is the Appalachian region, the
    region with the most producer-favorable coal supply and demand
    dynamics in the United States.
Our operations are focused on
    Central and Northern Appalachia, which accounted for
    approximately 72% and 28%, respectively, of the coal produced
    from our mines during 2004. The Appalachian region has produced
    declining supplies of coal in recent years while regional
    demand, already the highest in the United States based on tons
    consumed, is expected to increase due to growth in regional
    demand for electricity. We believe these trends in Appalachian
    coal supply and demand, the high quality of Appalachian coal and
    the lower transportation costs that result from the proximity of
    Appalachian producers and customers create favorable pricing
    dynamics that provide us with an advantage over producers from
    other regions.

Table of Contents
Our Central Appalachian mining expertise provides us with
significant regional growth opportunities.
Our focus on the
Appalachian region has allowed us to develop expertise in
efficiently mining Central Appalachian reserves. Furthermore, we
have developed both a good understanding of the region's
transportation infrastructure and a favorable reputation with
the region's property owners, coal industry operators and
employee base.
Our comparatively low amount of long-term reclamation and
employee-related liabilities provides us with financial
flexibility.
As of June 30, 2005, we had total accrued
reclamation liabilities of $41.0 million, self-insured
workers' compensation liabilities of $5.9 million and
post-retirement obligations of $20.1 million, and we had no
pension liabilities and minimal black lung liabilities. We
believe the amount of these liabilities are among the lowest of
the publicly-traded U.S. coal producers. In addition,
because over 90% of our approximately 2,850 employees are
employed by our subsidiaries on a union-free basis as of
September 30, 2005, and approximately 95% of our coal
production during 2004 was produced from mines operated by
union-free employees, we are better able to minimize the types
of employee-related liabilities commonly associated with
union-represented mines. Similar to Alpha, the Nicewonder Coal
Group has a comparatively low amount of long-term reclamation
liabilities, and, as of June 30, 2005, had accrued
approximately $9.2 million for such liabilities. All of the
Nicewonder Coal Group's 394 employees are employed on a
union-free basis as of September 30, 2005.
Our management team has extensive coal industry experience
and has successfully integrated a number of acquisitions.
Our senior executives have, on average, more than 20 years
of experience in the coal industry, largely in the Appalachian
region, and they have substantial experience in increasing
productivity, reducing costs, implementing our marketing
strategy and coal blending capabilities, improving safety, and
developing and maintaining strong customer and employee
relationships. In addition to their operating strengths, the
majority of our senior executives have significant experience in
identifying, acquiring and integrating acquired coal companies
into existing organizations.
Business Strategy
We believe that we are well-positioned to enhance our position
as a leading Appalachian coal producer by continuing to
implement our strategy, which consists of the following key
components:
Achieve premium pricing and optimum efficiency in contract
fulfillment.
We intend to continue to use our diversified
operating strategy, coal blending capabilities, market knowledge
and strong marketing organization to identify and capitalize on
opportunities to generate premium pricing for our coal and to
achieve optimum efficiency in fulfillment of coal contracts. As
of October 6, 2005, approximately 20% of our planned
production for 2006 and 53% of our planned production for 2007
was uncommitted and was not yet priced, which we believe
provides us with significant price certainty in the short-term
while maintaining uncommitted planned production that allows us
to take an opportunistic approach to selling our coal. We
believe our planned Nicewonder Acquisition will further enhance
our ability to achieve premium pricing and optimum efficiency in
contract fulfillment. The Nicewonder Coal Group, which is
currently a 4.3 million ton per year operation, has 42% of
planned production for 2006 and 86% of planned production for
2007 uncommitted as of October 6, 2005.
Maximize profitability of our mining operations.
We
continuously reassess our reserves, mines and processing and
loading facilities in an effort to determine the optimum
operating configuration that maximizes our profitability,
efficient use of operating assets and return on invested
capital. We intend to continue to optimize the profitability of
our mining operations through a series of initiatives that
include:
•
increasing production levels where we determine that such
    increased production can be profitably achieved;
•
leveraging our product offerings, blending capabilities and
    marketing organization to realize higher margins from our sales;
•
deploying our resources against the most profitable
    opportunities available in our asset portfolio;
4
Table of Contents
•
consolidating regional operations and increasing the utilization
    of our existing preparation plants and loading facilities;
•
maintaining our focus on safety and implementing safety measures
    designed to keep our workforce injury free; and
•
coordinating company-wide purchasing activities with major
    vendors to provide materials and supplies at lower overall cost.
Pursue strategic value-creating acquisitions.
We have
successfully acquired and integrated businesses into our
operations, and we intend to continue to expand our business and
coal reserves through acquisitions of attractive, strategically
positioned assets. Although we intend to concentrate our efforts
in Appalachia, where we believe there remain attractive
acquisition opportunities, we will continue to evaluate
opportunities in other regions that meet our acquisition
criteria. We employ what we believe is a disciplined acquisition
strategy focused on acquiring coal and coal-related operations
and assets at attractive valuations. We believe that our planned
acquisition of the Nicewonder Coal Group is consistent with this
strategy.
Maintain a strong safety, labor relations and environmental
record.
One of our core values is protecting the health and
welfare of our employees by designing and implementing high
safety standards in the workplace. We also aim to preserve the
positive relationship we have developed with our employees.
Similarly, we aim to adhere to high standards in protecting and
preserving the environment in which we operate.
Risks Related to our Business and Strategy
Our ability to execute our strategy is subject to the risks that
are generally associated with the coal industry. For example,
our profitability could decline due to changes in coal prices or
coal consumption patterns, as well as unanticipated mine
operating conditions, loss of customers, changes in our ability
to access our coal reserves and other factors that are not
within our control. Furthermore, the heavily regulated nature of
the coal industry imposes significant actual and potential costs
on us, and future regulations could increase those costs or
limit our ability to produce coal.
We are also subject to a number of risks related to our
competitive position and business strategies. For example, our
acquisitive business strategy exposes us to the risks involved
in consummating and integrating acquisitions, including the risk
that in a future acquisition we could assume more long-term
liabilities relative to the value of the acquired assets than we
have assumed in our previous acquisitions, thereby reducing our
competitive strength with regard to our level of long-term
liabilities. In addition, our focus on the Central and Northern
Appalachian regions exposes us to the risks of operating in
these regions, including higher costs of production as compared
to other coal-producing regions and more costly and restrictive
permitting, licensing and other environmental and regulatory
requirements. For additional risks relating to our business and
this offering, see "Risk Factors" beginning on
page 17 of this prospectus.
Coal Market Outlook
According to traded coal indices and reference prices, U.S. and
international coal demand is currently strong, and coal pricing
has increased in 2004 and early 2005 in each of our coal
production markets. We believe that the current strong
fundamentals in the U.S. coal industry result primarily
from:
•
stronger industrial demand following a recovery in the
    U.S. manufacturing sector, evidenced by the most recent
    estimate of 3.3% real GDP growth in the second quarter of 2005,
    as reported by the Bureau of Economic Analysis;
•
relatively low customer stockpiles, estimated by the
    U.S. Energy Information Administration ("EIA") to
    be approximately 115.7 million tons at the end of the
    second quarter of 2005, down 4.1% from the same period in the
    prior year;
5
Table of Contents
•
declining coal production in Central Appalachia, including an
    average annual decline of 4.9% in Central Appalachian coal
    production volume from January 1, 2001 through
    December 31, 2004;
•
capacity constraints of U.S. nuclear-powered electricity
    generators, which operated at an average utilization rate of
    90.5% in 2004, up from 73.8% in 1994, as estimated by the EIA;
•
high current and forward prices for natural gas and heating oil,
    the primary fuels for electricity generation, with spot prices
    as of October 3, 2005, for natural gas and heating oil at
    $14.50 per million Btu and $2.04 per gallon,
    respectively, as reported by Bloomberg L.P.; and
•
increased international demand for U.S. coal for
    steelmaking, driven by global economic growth, high ocean
    freight rates and the weak U.S. dollar.
U.S. spot steam coal prices have steadily increased since
mid-2003, particularly for coals sourced in the eastern United
States. The table below describes the percentage increase in
year-over-year average year-to-date reference prices for coal as
of October 3, 2005, according to Platts Research and
Consulting ("Platts"), in the regions where we produce
our coal, and the percentage of our produced and processed coal
sales volume during 2004 by region:
Increase in Average
Percentage of Produced and
Reference Prices
Processed Coal Sales in 2004
Central Appalachia
11.6%
72.2%
Northern Appalachia
24.9%
27.8%
We expect near-term volume growth in U.S. coal consumption
to be driven by greater utilization at existing coal-fired
electricity generating plants, which operated at an estimated
72% of capacity in 2004, according to Platts. If existing
U.S. coal fueled plants operate at estimated potential
utilization rates of 85%, we believe they would consume
approximately 185 million additional tons of coal per year,
which represents an increase of approximately 16% over current
coal consumption.
We expect longer-term volume growth in U.S. coal
consumption to be driven by the construction of new coal-fired
plants. The National Energy Technology Laboratory
("NETL"), an arm of the U.S. Department of Energy
(the "DOE"), projects that more than 100,000 megawatts
of new coal-fired electric generation capacity will be
constructed in the United States by 2025. The NETL has
identified 124 coal-fired plants, representing
73,000 megawatts of electric generation capacity, that have
been proposed and are currently in various stages of
development. The DOE projects that approximately 70 of these
proposed coal-fired plants, representing approximately
43,000 megawatts of electric generation capacity, will be
completed and will begin consuming coal to produce electricity
by the end of 2010.
The current pricing environment for U.S. metallurgical coal
is also strong in both the domestic and seaborne export markets.
Demand for metallurgical coal in the United States has increased
due to a recovery in the U.S. steel industry. In addition
to increased demand for metallurgical coal in the United States,
demand for metallurgical coal has increased in international
markets. According to the International Iron and Steel
Institute, global steel consumption increased by 8.8% during
2004 over the 2003 level, Chinese steel consumption increased
approximately 11% in 2004 over 2003, and Asia-Pacific Rim
consumption of metallurgical coal continues to strain supply.
For example, BHP Billiton, a major Australian producer, reported
a 53% increase in average realized metallurgical coal prices for
fiscal year 2005 over the prior fiscal year, and Fording
Canadian Coal Trust, a major Canadian producer, reported an
increase of approximately 62% in average metallurgical coal
sales price for the six months ended June 30, 2005 over the
same period in 2004. The tightening supply of metallurgical coal
in global markets has been due in part to supply disruptions in
Australia, the world's largest coal exporter, and the
decision by China, the world's second largest coal
exporter, to restrict its metallurgical coal exports in order to
satisfy domestic demand. Additionally, the recent weakness of
the U.S. dollar has made U.S. metallurgical coal more
competitive in international markets. The table below describes
average sale prices, according to Platts, for low volatile
metallurgical coal at the Hampton Roads, Virginia export
terminals, through which we ship the great majority of our
metallurgical coal exports and which collectively constitute the
highest

Alpha Summary Historical and Pro Forma Financial Data
ANR Holdings, LLC ("ANR Holdings") was formed in
December 2002 by First Reserve Fund IX, L.P. and ANR
Fund IX Holdings, L.P. (referred to as the "First
Reserve Stockholders" or collectively with their
affiliates, "First Reserve") and our management to
serve as the top-tier holding company of the Alpha Natural

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or
    loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
    outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings per share is
    computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average
    number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock
    equivalents outstanding during the periods. Common stock
    equivalents include the number of shares issuable on exercise of
    outstanding options less the number of shares that could have
    been purchased with the proceeds from the exercise of the
    options based on the average price of common stock during the
    period.
We have disclosed for informational purposes three sets of
    earnings per share data:
Net Income (Loss) Per Share, as Adjusted
The first set of earnings per share data is labeled "net
    income (loss) per share, as adjusted." The numerator for
    purposes of computing basic and diluted net income (loss) per
    share, as adjusted, includes the reported net income (loss) and
    a pro forma adjustment for income taxes to reflect the pro forma
    income taxes for ANR Fund IX Holdings, L.P.'s portion
    of reported pre-tax income (loss), which would have been
    recorded if the issuance of the shares of common stock received
    by the First Reserve Stockholders in exchange for their
    ownership in ANR Holdings in connection with the Internal
    Restructuring had occurred as of January 1, 2003. For
    purposes of the computation of basic and diluted net income
    (loss) per share, as adjusted, the pro forma adjustment for
    income taxes only applies to the percentage interest owned by
    ANR Fund IX Holding, L.P., the non-taxable First Reserve
    Stockholder. No pro forma adjustment for income taxes is
    required for the percentage interest owned by Alpha NR Holding,
    Inc., the taxable First Reserve Stockholder, because income
    taxes have already been recorded in the historical results of
    operations. Furthermore, no pro forma adjustment to reported net
    income (loss) is necessary subsequent to February 11, 2005
    because Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. is subject to income taxes.

Table of Contents
The denominator for purposes of computing basic net income
    (loss) per share, as adjusted, reflects the retroactive impact
    of the common shares received by the First Reserve Stockholders
    in exchange for their ownership in ANR Holdings in connection
    with the Internal Restructuring on a weighted-average
    outstanding share basis as being outstanding as of
    January 1, 2003. The common shares issued to the minority
    interest owners of ANR Holdings in connection with the Internal
    Restructuring, including the immediately vested shares granted
    to management, have been reflected as being outstanding as of
    February 11, 2005 for purposes of computing the basic net
    income (loss) per share, as adjusted. The unvested shares
    granted to management on February 11, 2005 that vest
    monthly over the two-year period from January 1, 2005 to
    December 31, 2006 are included in the basic net income
    (loss) per share, as adjusted, computation as they vest on a
    weighted-average outstanding share basis starting on
    February 11, 2005. The 33,925,000 new shares issued in
    connection with the IPO have been reflected as being outstanding
    since February 14, 2005, the date of the IPO, for purposes
    of computing the basic net income (loss) per share, as adjusted.
The unvested shares issued to management are considered options
    for purposes of computing diluted net income (loss) per share,
    as adjusted. Therefore, for diluted purposes, all remaining
    unvested shares granted to management are added to the
    denominator subsequent to February 11, 2005 using the
    treasury stock method, if the effect is dilutive. In addition,
    the treasury stock method is used for outstanding stock options,
    if dilutive, beginning with the November 10, 2004 grant of
    options to management to purchase units in Alpha Coal Management
    that were automatically converted into options to purchase up to
    596,985 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of
    $12.73 per share.
The computations of basic and diluted net income (loss) per
    share, as adjusted, are set forth below:

Pro Forma Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The second set of earnings per share data is labeled "pro
    forma net income (loss) per share." The numerator for
    purposes of computing basic and diluted pro forma net income
    (loss) per share is based on "net income, as adjusted"
    (as calculated above) and pro forma adjustments to reflect the
    impact of:
(i)
the add back of minority interest for each period presented,
    because the ownership held by the minority interest owners of
    ANR Holdings were exchanged for shares of our common stock as
    part of the Internal Restructuring;
(ii)
the additional income taxes that would have been incurred by us
    on the minority interest added back; and
(iii)
the issuance of $175,000 principal amount of 10% senior
    notes due 2012 by our subsidiaries Alpha Natural Resources, LLC
    and Alpha Natural Resources Capital Corp. and the entry by Alpha
    Natural Resources, LLC into a $175,000 credit facility in May
    2004, in connection with the 2004 Financings, as if these
    transactions had occurred on January 1, 2003.
No pro forma adjustment to reported net income (loss) is
    necessary subsequent to February 11, 2005.

Table of Contents
The denominator for purposes of computing basic pro forma net
    income (loss) per share reflects:
(i)
the retroactive impact of the common shares received by the
    First Reserve Stockholders in exchange for their ownership in
    ANR Holdings in connection with the Internal Restructuring on a
    weighted-average outstanding share basis as being outstanding as
    of January 1, 2003;
(ii)
the retroactive impact of the common shares issued to the
    minority interest owners of ANR Holdings in connection with the
    Internal Restructuring, including the immediately vested shares
    granted to management, on a weighted-average outstanding share
    basis as being outstanding as of January 1, 2003;
(iii)
the unvested shares granted to management that vest over the
    two-year period from January 1, 2005 to December 31,
    2006, which have been included in the basic computation on a
    weighted-average outstanding share basis based on the monthly
    vesting beginning as of January 1, 2005; and
(iv)
the retroactive impact of the 33,925,000 new shares issued in
    connection with the IPO on a weighted-average outstanding share
    basis as being outstanding as of January 1, 2003 since 100%
    of the net proceeds from the IPO was distributed to the previous
    owners of ANR Holdings.
The unvested shares issued to management are considered options
    for purposes of computing diluted pro forma net income (loss)
    per share. Therefore, for diluted purposes, all remaining
    unvested shares granted to management would be added to the
    denominator as of January 1, 2003 using the treasury stock
    method, if the effect is dilutive. In addition, the treasury
    stock method would be used for outstanding stock options, if
    dilutive, beginning with the November 10, 2004 grant of
    options to management to purchase units in Alpha Coal Management
    that were automatically converted into options to purchase up to
    596,985 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of
    $12.73 per share.

Pro Forma Net Income (Loss) Per Share, As Adjusted
The third set of earnings per share data is labeled "pro
    forma net income (loss) per share, as adjusted." The
    numerator for purposes of computing basic and diluted pro forma
    net income (loss) per share, as adjusted, is based on "pro

(loss)" (as calculated above) and pro forma adjustments to
    reflect the impact of the Nicewonder Acquisition and the 2005
    Financing, as if these transactions had occurred on
    January 1, 2004.
The denominator for purposes of computing pro forma net income
    (loss) per share, as adjusted, is based on the weighted average
    shares outstanding for purposes of "net income (loss) per
    share, as adjusted" (as calculated above) plus
    2.0 million shares to be issued in connection with the
    Nicewonder Acquisition, assuming such issuance had occurred on
    January 1, 2004.

EBITDA, a measure used by management to measure operating
    performance, is defined as net income (loss) plus interest
    expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation,
    depletion, and amortization, less interest income. We have
    presented EBITDA because our management believes that it is
    frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other
    interested parties in the evaluation of coal companies. We
    regularly evaluate our performance as compared to other coal
    companies that have different financing and capital structures
    and/or tax rates by using EBITDA. We believe that EBITDA allows
    for meaningful company-to-company performance comparisons by
    adjusting for factors such as interest expense, depreciation,
    depletion, amortization and taxes, which can vary from company
    to company. In addition, we use EBITDA in evaluating acquisition
    targets. EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not
    purport to be an alternative to net income, operating income or
    any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP
    or an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a
    measure of operating liquidity. Because not all companies use
    identical calculations, this presentation of EBITDA may not be
    comparable to other similarly titled measures of other
    companies. Additionally, EBITDA is not intended to be a measure
    of free cash flow for management's discretionary use, as it
    does not reflect certain cash requirements such as tax payments,
    interest payments and other debt service requirements. The
    amounts presented for EBITDA differ from the amounts calculated
    under the definition of EBITDA used in our debt covenants. The
    definition of EBITDA used in our debt covenants is further
    adjusted for certain cash and non-cash charges and is used to
    determine compliance with financial covenants and our ability to
    engage in certain activities such as incurring debt and making
    certain payments. Adjusted EBITDA as it is used and defined in
    our debt covenants is described and reconciled to net income
    (loss) in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
    Financial Condition and Results of Operations —
    Analysis of Material Debt Covenants."

EBITDA, a measure used by management to measure operating
    performance, is defined as net income (loss) plus interest
    expense, income tax expense (benefit) and depreciation,
    depletion, and amortization, less interest income. We have
    presented EBITDA because our management believes that it is
    frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other
    interested parties in the evaluation of coal companies. We
    regularly evaluate our performance as compared to other coal
    companies that have different financing and capital structures
    and/or tax rates by using EBITDA. We believe that EBITDA allows
    for meaningful company-to-company performance comparisons by
    adjusting for factors such as interest expense, depreciation,
    depletion, amortization and taxes, which can vary from company
    to company. In addition, we use EBITDA in evaluating acquisition
    targets. EBITDA is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not
    purport to be an alternative to net income, operating income or
    any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP
    or an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a
    measure of operating liquidity. Because not all companies use
    identical calculations, this presentation of EBITDA may not be
    comparable to other similarly titled measures of other

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our common stock involves risks. You should
carefully consider the risks described below as well as the
other information contained in this prospectus before investing
in our common stock.
Risks Relating to Our Business
A substantial or extended decline in coal prices could
    reduce our revenues and the value of our coal reserves.
Our results of operations are substantially dependent upon the
prices we receive for our coal. The prices we receive for coal
depend upon factors beyond our control, including:
•
the supply of and demand for domestic and foreign coal;
•
the demand for electricity;
•
domestic and foreign demand for steel and the continued
    financial viability of the domestic and/or foreign steel
    industry;
•
the proximity to, capacity of, and cost of transportation
    facilities;
•
domestic and foreign governmental regulations and taxes;
•
air emission standards for coal-fired power plants;
•
regulatory, administrative, and judicial decisions;
•
the price and availability of alternative fuels, including the
    effects of technological developments; and
•
the effect of worldwide energy conservation measures.
Declines in the prices we receive for our coal could adversely
affect our operating results and our ability to generate the
cash flows we require to improve our productivity and invest in
our operations.
Our coal mining production and delivery is subject to
    conditions and events beyond our control, which could result in
    higher operating expenses and/or decreased production and sales
    and adversely affect our operating results.
Our coal mining operations are conducted, in large part, in
underground mines and, to a lesser extent, at surface mines. The
level of our production at these mines is subject to operating
conditions and events beyond our control that could disrupt
operations, affect production and the cost of mining at
particular mines for varying lengths of time and have a
significant impact on our operating results. Adverse operating
conditions and events that we or our Predecessor have
experienced in the past include:
•
delays and difficulties in acquiring, maintaining or renewing
    necessary permits or mining or surface rights;
•
changes or variations in geologic conditions, such as the
    thickness of the coal deposits and the amount of rock embedded
    in or overlying the coal deposit;
•
mining and processing equipment failures and unexpected
    maintenance problems;
•
limited availability of mining and processing equipment and
    parts from suppliers;
•
interruptions due to transportation delays;
•
adverse weather and natural disasters, such as heavy rains and
    flooding;
•
accidental mine water discharges;
•
the termination of material contracts by state or other
    governmental authorities;
20
Table of Contents
•
the unavailability of qualified labor;
•
strikes and other labor-related interruptions; and
•
unexpected mine safety accidents, including fires and explosions
    from methane and other sources.
If any of these conditions or events occur in the future at any
of our mines or affect deliveries of our coal to customers, they
may increase our cost of mining and delay or halt production at
particular mines or sales to our customers either permanently or
for varying lengths of time, which could adversely affect our
operating results. For example, in 2004 we experienced mine roof
stability issues at our Kingwood underground mine, which
resulted in a 23% decrease in production at this mine for 2004
as compared to 2003 full-year production (including production
in 2003 prior to our acquisition of the mine). In addition,
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, which struck the Gulf Coast in
August and September 2005, has resulted in delayed shipments of
our coal to our customers, and Hurricane Katrina also damaged a
portion of 330,000 tons of metallurgical coal inventory that we
had stockpiled in New Orleans to meet 2005 sales commitments.
Any change in coal consumption patterns by steel producers
    or North American electric power generators resulting in a
    decrease in the use of coal by those consumers could result in
    lower prices for our coal, which would reduce our revenues and
    adversely impact our earnings and the value of our coal
    reserves.
Steam coal accounted for approximately 58% of our coal sales
volume during the first six months of 2005 and approximately 63%
of our 2004 coal sales volume. The majority of our sales of
steam coal for the first six months of 2005 and for 2004 was to
U.S. and Canadian electric power generators. Domestic electric
power generation accounted for approximately 92% of all
U.S. coal consumption in 2004, according to the EIA. The
amount of coal consumed for U.S. and Canadian electric power
generation is affected primarily by the overall demand for
electricity, the location, availability, quality and price of
competing fuels for power such as natural gas, nuclear, fuel oil
and alternative energy sources such as hydroelectric power,
technological developments, and environmental and other
governmental regulations. We expect many new power plants will
be built to produce electricity during peak periods of demand,
when the demand for electricity rises above the "base load
demand," or minimum amount of electricity required if
consumption occurred at a steady rate. However, we also expect
that many of these new power plants will be fired by natural gas
because they are cheaper to construct than coal-fired plants and
because natural gas is a cleaner burning fuel. In addition, the
increasingly stringent requirements of the Clean Air Act may
result in more electric power generators shifting from coal to
natural gas-fired power plants. Any reduction in the amount of
coal consumed by North American electric power generators could
reduce the price of steam coal that we mine and sell, thereby
reducing our revenues and adversely impacting our earnings and
the value of our coal reserves.
We produce metallurgical coal that is used in both the U.S. and
foreign steel industries. Metallurgical coal represented
approximately 37% of our 2004 coal sales volume. In recent
years, U.S. steel producers have experienced a substantial
decline in the prices received for their products, due at least
in part to a heavy volume of foreign steel imported into the
United States. Although prices for some U.S. steel products
increased moderately after the Bush administration imposed steel
import tariffs and quotas in March 2002, those tariffs and
quotas were lifted in December 2003. Furthermore, recent reports
indicate that U.S. steel imports fell in August 2005, which
may be a leading indicator of declining demand in the
U.S. steel industry generally. Any deterioration in
conditions in the U.S. steel industry would reduce the
demand for our metallurgical coal and impact the collectibility
of our accounts receivable from U.S. steel industry
customers. In addition, the U.S. steel industry
increasingly relies on electric arc furnaces or pulverized coal
processes to make steel. These processes do not use coke. If
this trend continues, the amount of metallurgical coal that we
sell and the prices that we receive for it could decrease,
thereby reducing our revenues and adversely impacting our
earnings and the value of our coal reserves.

Table of Contents
A decline in demand for metallurgical coal would limit our
    ability to sell our high quality steam coal as higher-priced
    metallurgical coal and could affect the economic viability of
    certain of our mines that have higher operating costs.
Portions of our coal reserves possess quality characteristics
that enable us to mine, process and market them as either
metallurgical coal or high quality steam coal, depending on the
prevailing conditions in the metallurgical and steam coal
markets. We decide whether to mine, process and market these
coals as metallurgical or steam coal based on management's
assessment as to which market is likely to provide us with a
higher margin. We consider a number of factors when making this
assessment, including the difference between the current and
anticipated future market prices of steam coal and metallurgical
coal, the lower volume of saleable tons that results from
producing a given quantity of reserves for sale in the
metallurgical market instead of the steam market, the increased
costs incurred in producing coal for sale in the metallurgical
market instead of the steam market, the likelihood of being able
to secure a longer-term sales commitment by selling coal into
the steam market and our contractual commitments to deliver
different types of coals to our customers. During 2004, we
believe that we sold approximately 8% of our produced and
processed coal as metallurgical coal that we would have sold as
steam coal in the market conditions prevalent during 2003. We
believe that we generated approximately $65.0 million in
additional revenues by selling this production as metallurgical
coal rather than steam coal during 2004, based on a comparison
of the actual sales price and volume versus the then-prevailing
market price for steam coal and the volume of coal that we would
have sold if the coal had been mined, processed and marketed as
steam coal. A decline in the metallurgical market relative to
the steam market could cause us to shift coal from the
metallurgical market to the steam market, thereby reducing our
revenues and profitability.
Most of our metallurgical coal reserves possess quality
characteristics that enable us to mine, process and market them
as high quality steam coal. However, some of our mines operate
profitably only if all or a portion of their production is sold
as metallurgical coal to the steel market. If demand for
metallurgical coal declined to the point where we could earn a
more attractive return marketing the coal as steam coal, these
mines may not be economically viable and may be subject to
closure. Such closures would lead to accelerated reclamation
costs, as well as reduced revenue and profitability.
Acquisitions that we have completed since our formation,
    as well as acquisitions that we may undertake in the future,
    involve a number of risks, any of which could cause us not to
    realize the anticipated benefits.
Since our formation and the acquisition of our Predecessor in
December 2002, we have completed three significant acquisitions
and several smaller acquisitions and investments. We continually
seek to expand our operations and coal reserves through
acquisitions. If we are unable to successfully integrate the
companies, businesses or properties we are able to acquire, our
profitability may decline and we could experience a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results
of operations. Acquisition transactions involve various inherent
risks, including:
•
uncertainties in assessing the value, strengths, and potential
    profitability of, and identifying the extent of all weaknesses,
    risks, contingent and other liabilities (including environmental
    or mine safety liabilities) of, acquisition candidates;
•
the potential loss of key customers, management and employees of
    an acquired business;
•
the ability to achieve identified operating and financial
    synergies anticipated to result from an acquisition;

problems that could arise from the integration of the acquired
    business; and
•
unanticipated changes in business, industry or general economic
    conditions that affect the assumptions underlying our rationale
    for pursuing the acquisition.
Any one or more of these factors could cause us not to realize
the benefits anticipated to result from an acquisition. For
example, in combining our Predecessor and acquired companies, we
have incurred
22
Table of Contents
significant expenses to develop unified reporting systems and
standardize our accounting functions. Additionally, we were
unable to profitably operate NKC, which we acquired in
connection with our acquisition of AMCI. In September 2004, we
recorded an impairment charge of $5.1 million to reduce the
carrying value of the assets of NKC to their estimated fair
value, and we sold the assets of NKC on April 14, 2005.
If the Nicewonder Acquisition is completed, it will increase the
size of our operations. Our ability to integrate the operations
of the Nicewonder Coal Group with our own is important to our
future success. If we are unable to realize the anticipated
benefits of the Nicewonder Acquisition due to our inability to
address the challenges of integrating the Nicewonder Coal Group
or for any other reason, it could have a material adverse effect
on our business and financial and operating results and require
significant additional time on the part of our senior management
dedicated to resolving integration issues.
Moreover, any acquisition opportunities we pursue could
materially affect our liquidity and capital resources and may
require us to incur indebtedness, seek equity capital or both.
For instance, in connection with the Nicewonder Acquisition, we
will issue $221.0 million principal amount of promissory
installment notes of one of our indirect, wholly owned
subsidiaries, and we will issue a number of shares of our common
stock having a fair market value of approximately
$60.0 million based on the weighted average trading price
of our common stock during the 20-day trading period immediately
prior to the closing, subject to certain adjustments. In
addition, future acquisitions could result in our assuming more
long-term liabilities relative to the value of the acquired
assets than we have assumed in our previous acquisitions.
The inability of the sellers of our Predecessor and
    acquired companies to fulfill their indemnification obligations
    to us under our acquisition agreements could increase our
    liabilities and adversely affect our results of operations and
    financial position.
In the acquisition agreements we entered into with the sellers
of our Predecessor and acquired companies, including the
acquisition agreements we have entered into related to the
Nicewonder Acquisition, the respective sellers and, in some of
our acquisitions, their parent companies, agreed to retain
responsibility for and indemnify us against damages resulting
from certain third-party claims or other liabilities, such as
workers' compensation liabilities, black lung liabilities,
postretirement medical liabilities and certain environmental or
mine safety liabilities. The failure of any seller and, if
applicable, its parent company, to satisfy their obligations
with respect to claims and retained liabilities covered by the
acquisition agreements could have an adverse effect on our
results of operations and financial position if claimants
successfully assert that we are liable for those claims and/or
retained liabilities. The obligations of the sellers and, in
some instances, their parent companies, to indemnify us with
respect to their retained liabilities will continue for a
substantial period of time, and in some cases indefinitely. The
sellers' indemnification obligations with respect to
breaches of their representations and warranties in the
acquisition agreements will terminate upon expiration of the
applicable indemnification period (generally 18-24 months
from the acquisition date for most representations and
warranties, and from two to five years from the acquisition date
for environmental representations and warranties), are subject
to deductible amounts and will not cover damages in excess of
the applicable coverage limit. The assertion of third-party
claims after the expiration of the applicable indemnification
period or in excess of the applicable coverage limit, or the
failure of any seller to satisfy its indemnification obligations
with respect to breaches of its representations and warranties,
could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and
financial position. See "— If our assumptions
regarding our likely future expenses related to benefits for
non-active employees are incorrect, then expenditures for these
benefits could be materially higher than we have predicted."
Our inability to continue or expand the existing road
    construction and mining business of the Nicewonder Companies
    could adversely affect the expected benefits from the Nicewonder
    Acquisition.
One of our subsidiaries will acquire the business of Nicewonder
Contracting, Inc. ("NCI") pursuant to the Nicewonder
Acquisition. NCI operates a highway construction business under
a contract with the State of West Virginia. Pursuant to the
contract, NCI is building approximately 11 miles of rough
grade
23
Table of Contents
highway in West Virginia over the next six years and, in
exchange NCI will be compensated by West Virginia based on the
number of cubic yards of material excavated and/or filled to
create a road bed, as well as for certain other cost components.
In the course of the road construction, NCI will recover any
coal encountered and sell the coal to its customers, subject to
certain costs including coal loading, transportation, coal
royalty payments and applicable taxes and fees.
This road construction operation is in its early stages and the
State of West Virginia has only approved funding for the first
phases of highway construction. If West Virginia does not fund
the remaining sections of the highway project, it would
adversely affect NCI's earnings. Even if West Virginia
funds the remainder of this project through the next six years,
we are uncertain whether the state will fund any similar
projects in the future. In addition, we have no current
experience conducting and completing these road projects and
will rely on the expertise of the existing employees of NCI in
order to operate the project profitably. Furthermore, litigation
has been filed against NCI and the State of West Virginia
claiming that the project violated competitive bidding and
prevailing wage laws and regulations. If successful, the
litigation could make the project considerably less advantageous
to NCI or restrict or prohibit NCI from completing the project.
The loss of, or significant reduction in, purchases by our
    largest customers could adversely affect our revenues and
    profitability.
Our largest customer during 2004 accounted for approximately 8%
of our total revenues. We derived approximately 39% of our 2004
total revenues from sales to our ten largest customers. The
sales of the Nicewonder Coal Group are highly concentrated, with
approximately 78% of the Nicewonder Coal Group's coal
revenues during the year ended December 31, 2004 generated
from sales to three customers. On a pro forma basis as if the
Nicewonder Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2004, our
largest customer during 2004 would have accounted for
approximately 8% of our total revenues and we would have derived
approximately 37% of our 2004 total revenues from sales to our
ten largest customers. These customers may not continue to
purchase coal from us under our current coal supply agreements,
or at all. If these customers were to significantly reduce their
purchases of coal from us, or if we were unable to sell coal to
them on terms as favorable to us as the terms under our current
agreements, our revenues and profitability could suffer
materially.
Changes in purchasing patterns in the coal industry may
    make it difficult for us to extend existing supply contracts or
    enter into new long-term supply contracts with customers, which
    could adversely affect the capability and profitability of our
    operations.
We sell a significant portion of our coal under long-term coal
supply agreements, which are contracts with a term greater than
12 months. The execution of a satisfactory long-term coal
supply agreement is frequently the basis on which we undertake
the development of coal reserves required to be supplied under
the contract. We believe that approximately 73% of our 2004
sales volume was sold under long-term coal supply agreements. At
October 6, 2005, our long-term coal supply agreements had
remaining terms of up to 12 years and an average remaining
term of approximately two years. When our current contracts with
customers expire or are otherwise renegotiated, our customers
may decide to purchase fewer tons of coal than in the past or on
different terms, including pricing terms less favorable to us.
As of October 6, 2005, approximately 20% of our planned
2006 production and 53% of our planned 2007 production was
uncommitted. In addition, as of October 6, 2005,
approximately 42% of the Nicewonder Coal Group's planned
production for 2006 and approximately 86% of its planned
production for 2007 was uncommitted. We may not be able to enter
into coal supply agreements to sell this production on terms,
including pricing terms, as favorable to us as our existing
agreements. For additional information relating to our long-term
coal supply contracts, see "Business — Marketing,
Sales and Customer Contracts."
As electric utilities continue to adjust to frequently changing
regulations, including the Acid Rain regulations of the Clean
Air Act, the proposed Utility Mercury Reductions Rule, the
proposed Clean Air Interstate Rule and the possible deregulation
of their industry, they are becoming increasingly less willing
to enter into long-term coal supply contracts and instead are
purchasing higher percentages of coal under
24
Table of Contents
short-term supply contracts. The industry shift away from
long-term supply contracts could adversely affect us and the
level of our revenues. For example, fewer electric utilities
will have a contractual obligation to purchase coal from us,
thereby increasing the risk that we will not have a market for
our production. The prices we receive in the spot market may be
less than the contractual price an electric utility is willing
to pay for a committed supply. Furthermore, spot market prices
tend to be more volatile than contractual prices, which could
result in decreased revenues.
Certain provisions in our long-term supply contracts may
    reduce the protection these contracts provide us during adverse
    economic conditions or may result in economic penalties upon our
    failure to meet specifications.
Price adjustment, "price reopener" and other similar
provisions in long-term supply contracts may reduce the
protection from short-term coal price volatility traditionally
provided by these contracts. Price reopener provisions are
particularly common in international metallurgical coal sales
contracts. Some of our coal supply contracts contain provisions
that allow for the price to be renegotiated at periodic
intervals. Price reopener provisions may automatically set a new
price based on the prevailing market price or, in some
instances, require the parties to agree on a new price,
sometimes between a pre-set "floor" and
"ceiling." In some circumstances, failure of the
parties to agree on a price under a price reopener provision can
lead to termination of the contract. Any adjustment or
renegotiation leading to a significantly lower contract price
could result in decreased revenues. Accordingly, supply
contracts with terms of one year or more may provide only
limited protection during adverse market conditions.
Coal supply agreements also typically contain force majeure
provisions allowing temporary suspension of performance by us or
the customer during the duration of specified events beyond the
control of the affected party. Most of our coal supply
agreements contain provisions requiring us to deliver coal
meeting quality thresholds for certain characteristics such as
Btu, sulfur content, ash content, grindability and ash fusion
temperature. Failure to meet these specifications could result
in economic penalties, including price adjustments, the
rejection of deliveries or termination of the contracts.
Moreover, some of our agreements where the customer bears
transportation costs permit the customer to terminate the
contract if the transportation costs borne by them increase
substantially. In addition, some of these contracts allow our
customers to terminate their contracts in the event of changes
in regulations affecting our industry that increase the price of
coal beyond specified limits.
Due to the risks mentioned above with respect to long-term
supply contracts, we may not achieve the revenue or profit we
expect to achieve from these sales commitments.
Disruption in supplies of coal produced by contractors and
    other third parties could temporarily impair our ability to fill
    customers' orders or increase our costs.
In addition to marketing coal that is produced by our
subsidiaries' employees, we utilize contractors to operate
some of our mines. Operational difficulties at
contractor-operated mines, changes in demand for contract miners
from other coal producers, and other factors beyond our control
could affect the availability, pricing, and quality of coal
produced for us by contractors. For example, during the third
quarter of 2005, production at our contractor operations was
running approximately 28% behind plan, primarily due to
shortages in the supply of labor. As a result of this shortfall,
we have been forced to purchase coal at a higher cost than
planned so that we can meet commitments to customers. To meet
customer specifications and increase efficiency in fulfillment
of coal contracts, we also purchase and resell coal produced by
third parties from their controlled reserves. The majority of
the coal that we purchase from third parties is blended with
coal produced from our mines prior to resale and we also process
(which includes washing, crushing or blending coal at one of our
preparation plants or loading facilities) a portion of the coal
that we purchase from third parties prior to resale. We sold
7.3 million tons of coal purchased from third parties
during 2004, representing 28% of our total sales during 2004. We
believe that approximately 81% of our purchased coal sales in
2004 was blended with coal produced from our mines prior to
resale, and approximately 3% of our total sales in 2004
consisted of coal purchased from third parties that we processed
before resale. The availability of specified qualities of this
purchased coal may
25
Table of Contents
decrease and prices may increase as a result of, among other
things, changes in overall coal supply and demand levels,
consolidation in the coal industry and new laws or regulations.
Disruption in our supply of contractor-produced coal and
purchased coal could temporarily impair our ability to fill our
customers' orders or require us to pay higher prices in
order to obtain the required coal from other sources. Any
increase in the prices we pay for contractor-produced coal or
purchased coal could increase our costs and therefore lower our
earnings. Although increases in market prices for coal generally
benefit us by allowing us to sell coal at higher prices, those
increases also increase our costs to acquire purchased coal,
which lowers our earnings.
Competition within the coal industry may adversely affect
    our ability to sell coal, and excess production capacity in the
    industry could put downward pressure on coal prices.
We compete with numerous other coal producers in various regions
of the United States for domestic and international sales.
During the mid-1970s and early 1980s, increased demand for coal
attracted new investors to the coal industry, spurred the
development of new mines and resulted in additional production
capacity throughout the industry, all of which led to increased
competition and lower coal prices. Recent increases in coal
prices could encourage the development of expanded capacity by
new or existing coal producers. Any resulting overcapacity could
reduce coal prices and therefore reduce our revenues.
Coal with lower production costs shipped east from western coal
mines and from offshore sources has resulted in increased
competition for coal sales in the Appalachian region. In
addition, coal companies with larger mines that utilize the
long-wall mining method typically have lower mine operating
costs than we do and may be able to compete more effectively on
price, particularly if the current favorable market weakens.
This competition could result in a decrease in our market share
in this region and a decrease in our revenues.
Demand for our low sulfur coal and the prices that we can obtain
for it are also affected by, among other things, the price of
emissions allowances. Decreases in the prices of these emissions
allowances could make low sulfur coal less attractive to our
customers. In addition, more widespread installation by electric
utilities of technology that reduces sulfur emissions (which
could be accelerated by increases in the prices of emissions
allowances), may make high sulfur coal more competitive with our
low sulfur coal. This competition could adversely affect our
business and results of operations.
We also compete in international markets against coal produced
in other countries. Measured by tons sold, exports accounted for
approximately 32% of our sales in 2004. The demand for
U.S. coal exports is dependent upon a number of factors
outside of our control, including the overall demand for
electricity in foreign markets, currency exchange rates, the
demand for foreign-produced steel both in foreign markets and in
the U.S. market (which is dependent in part on tariff rates
on steel), general economic conditions in foreign countries,
technological developments, and environmental and other
governmental regulations. For example, if the value of the
U.S. dollar were to rise against other currencies in the
future, our coal would become relatively more expensive and less
competitive in international markets, which could reduce our
foreign sales and negatively impact our revenues and net income.
In addition, if the amount of coal exported from the United
States were to decline, this decline could cause competition
among coal producers in the United States to intensify,
potentially resulting in additional downward pressure on
domestic coal prices.
Fluctuations in transportation costs and the availability
    or reliability of transportation could affect the demand for our
    coal or temporarily impair our ability to supply coal to our
    customers.
Transportation costs represent a significant portion of the
total cost of coal for our customers. Increases in
transportation costs, such as those experienced during the first
six months of 2005, could make coal a less competitive source of
energy or could make our coal production less competitive than
coal produced from other sources. On the other hand, significant
decreases in transportation costs could result in increased
competition from coal producers in other parts of the country.
For instance, coordination of the many eastern loading
facilities, the large number of small shipments, terrain and
labor
26
Table of Contents
issues all combine to make shipments originating in the eastern
United States inherently more expensive on a per-mile basis than
shipments originating in the western United States.
Historically, high coal transportation rates from the western
coal producing areas into Central Appalachian markets limited
the use of western coal in those markets. More recently,
however, lower rail rates from the western coal producing areas
to markets served by eastern U.S. producers have created
major competitive challenges for eastern producers. This
increased competition could have a material adverse effect on
our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We depend upon railroads, trucks, beltlines, ocean vessels and
barges to deliver coal to our customers. Disruption of these
transportation services due to weather-related problems,
mechanical difficulties, strikes, lockouts, bottlenecks, and
other events could temporarily impair our ability to supply coal
to our customers, resulting in decreased shipments. Certain
shipments of our coal to customers were delayed by the recent
hurricanes in the Gulf Coast. In some cases, this delay will
affect the timing of our recognition of revenue from these
sales. Decreased performance levels over longer periods of time
could cause our customers to look to other sources for their
coal needs, negatively affecting our revenues and profitability.
In 2004, 79% of our produced and processed coal volume was
transported from the preparation plant to the customer by rail.
In the last five quarters, we experienced a general
deterioration in the reliability of the service provided by rail
carriers, which increased our internal coal handling costs. If
there are continued disruptions of the transportation services
provided by the railroad companies we use and we are unable to
find alternative transportation providers to ship our coal, our
business could be adversely affected.
We have investments in mines, loading facilities, and ports that
in most cases are serviced by a single rail carrier. Our
operations that are serviced by a single rail carrier are
particularly at risk to disruptions in the transportation
services provided by that rail carrier, due to the difficulty in
arranging alternative transportation. If a single rail carrier
servicing our operations does not provide sufficient capacity,
revenue from these operations and our return on investment could
be adversely impacted.
The states of West Virginia and Kentucky have recently increased
enforcement of weight limits on coal trucks on their public
roads. It is possible that other states in which our coal is
transported by truck could undertake similar actions to increase
enforcement of weight limits. Such stricter enforcement actions
could result in shipment delays and increased costs. An increase
in transportation costs could have an adverse effect on our
ability to increase or to maintain production on a profit-making
basis and could therefore adversely affect revenues and earnings.
Our business will be adversely affected if we are unable
    to develop or acquire additional coal reserves that are
    economically recoverable.
Our profitability depends substantially on our ability to mine
coal reserves possessing quality characteristics desired by our
customers in a cost-effective manner. As of July 31, 2005,
we owned or leased 492.2 million tons of proven and
probable coal reserves that we believe will support current
production levels for more than 25 years, which is less
than the publicly reported amount of proven and probable coal
reserves and reserve lives (based on current publicly reported
production levels) of the other large publicly traded coal
companies. In addition, we anticipate that the 26.7 million
tons of proven and probable coal reserves we will acquire in the
Nicewonder Acquisition will support the current production
levels of the Nicewonder Coal Group for only six or seven years.
We have not yet applied for the permits required, or developed
the mines necessary, to mine all of our reserves. Permits are
becoming increasingly more difficult and expensive to obtain and
the review process continues to lengthen. In addition, we may
not be able to mine all of our reserves as profitably as we do
at our current operations.
Because our reserves decline as we mine our coal, our future
success and growth depend, in part, upon our ability to acquire
additional coal reserves that are economically recoverable. If
we are unable to replace or increase our coal reserves on
acceptable terms, our production and revenues will decline as
our reserves are depleted. Exhaustion of reserves at particular
mines also may have an adverse effect on our
27
Table of Contents
operating results that is disproportionate to the percentage of
overall production represented by such mines. Our ability to
acquire additional coal reserves through acquisitions in the
future also could be limited by restrictions under our existing
or future debt agreements, competition from other coal companies
for attractive properties, or the lack of suitable acquisition
candidates.
We face numerous uncertainties in estimating our
    recoverable coal reserves, and inaccuracies in our estimates
    could result in decreased profitability from lower than expected
    revenues or higher than expected costs.
Forecasts of our future performance are based on, among other
things, estimates of our recoverable coal reserves. We base our
estimates of reserve information on engineering, economic and
geological data assembled and analyzed by our internal engineers
and which is periodically reviewed by third-party consultants.
There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating the
quantities and qualities of, and costs to mine, recoverable
reserves, including many factors beyond our control. Estimates
of economically recoverable coal reserves and net cash flows
necessarily depend upon a number of variable factors and
assumptions, any one of which may, if incorrect, result in an
estimate that varies considerably from actual results. These
factors and assumptions include:
•
future coal prices, operating costs, capital expenditures,
    severance and excise taxes, royalties and development and
    reclamation costs;
•
future mining technology improvements;
•
the effects of regulation by governmental agencies; and
•
geologic and mining conditions, which may not be fully
    identified by available exploration data and may differ from our
    experiences in areas we currently mine.
As a result, actual coal tonnage recovered from identified
reserve areas or properties, and costs associated with our
mining operations, may vary from estimates. Any inaccuracy in
our estimates related to our reserves could result in decreased
profitability from lower than expected revenues or higher than
expected costs.
Defects in title of any leasehold interests in our
    properties could limit our ability to mine these properties or
    result in significant unanticipated costs.
We conduct a significant part of our mining operations on
properties that we lease. Title to most of our leased properties
and mineral rights is not thoroughly verified until a permit to
mine the property is obtained, and in some cases title with
respect to leased properties is not verified at all. Our right
to mine some of our reserves may be materially adversely
affected by defects in title or boundaries. In order to obtain
leases or mining contracts to conduct our mining operations on
property where these defects exist, we may in the future have to
incur unanticipated costs, which could adversely affect our
profitability.
Mining in Central and Northern Appalachia is more complex
    and involves more regulatory constraints than mining in other
    areas of the United States, which could affect our mining
    operations and cost structures in these areas.
The geological characteristics of Central and Northern
Appalachian coal reserves, such as depth of overburden and coal
seam thickness, make them complex and costly to mine. As mines
become depleted, replacement reserves may not be available when
required or, if available, may not be capable of being mined at
costs comparable to those characteristic of the depleting mines.
In addition, as compared to mines in other regions, permitting,
licensing and other environmental and regulatory requirements
are more costly and time consuming to satisfy. These factors
could materially adversely affect the mining operations and cost
structures of, and our customers' ability to use coal
produced by, our mines in Central and Northern Appalachia.
28
Table of Contents
Our work force could become increasingly unionized in the
    future, which could adversely affect the stability of our
    production and reduce our profitability.
Approximately 95% of our 2004 coal production came from mines
operated by union-free employees. As of September 30, 2005,
over 90% of our subsidiaries' approximately 2,850
employees, as well as all of the Nicewonder Coal Group's
394 employees, are union-free. However, our subsidiaries'
employees have the right at any time under the National Labor
Relations Act to form or affiliate with a union. Any further
unionization of our subsidiaries' employees, or the
employees of third-party contractors who mine coal for us, could
adversely affect the stability of our production and reduce our
profitability.
Our unionized work force could strike in the future, which
    could disrupt production and shipments of our coal and increase
    costs.
One of our subsidiaries has two negotiated wage agreements with
the United Mine Workers of America ("UMWA"). These
agreements, covering approximately 223 employees as of
September 30, 2005, expire on December 31, 2009. Two
of our other subsidiaries have negotiated wage agreements with
the UMWA covering an aggregate of 29 employees as of
September 30, 2005 that will expire in December 2006. Some
or all of the affected employees at each location could strike,
which would adversely affect our productivity, increase our
costs, and disrupt shipments of coal to our customers.
Our ability to collect payments from our customers could
    be impaired if their creditworthiness deteriorates.
Our ability to receive payment for coal sold and delivered
depends on the continued creditworthiness of our customers.
During 2004, we had $152,000 of bad debt expense. Our customer
base is changing with deregulation as utilities sell their power
plants to their non-regulated affiliates or third parties that
may be less creditworthy, thereby increasing the risk we bear on
payment default. These new power plant owners may have credit
ratings that are below investment grade. In addition,
competition with other coal suppliers could force us to extend
credit to customers and on terms that could increase the risk we
bear on payment default.
We have contracts to supply coal to energy trading and brokering
companies under which those companies sell coal to end users. If
the creditworthiness of the energy trading and brokering
companies declines, this would increase the risk that we may not
be able to collect payment for all coal sold and delivered to or
on behalf of these energy trading and brokering companies.
The government extensively regulates our mining
    operations, which imposes significant costs on us, and future
    regulations could increase those costs or limit our ability to
    produce and sell coal.
The coal mining industry is subject to increasingly strict
regulation by federal, state and local authorities with respect
to matters such as:
•
employee health and safety;
•
mandated benefits for retired coal miners;
•
mine permitting and licensing requirements;
•
reclamation and restoration of mining properties after mining is
    completed;
•
air quality standards;
•
water pollution;
•
plant and wildlife protection;
•
the discharge of materials into the environment;
29
Table of Contents
•
surface subsidence from underground mining; and
•
the effects of mining on groundwater quality and availability.
The costs, liabilities and requirements associated with these
regulations may be costly and time-consuming and may delay
commencement or continuation of exploration or production
operations. Failure to comply with these regulations may result
in the assessment of administrative, civil and criminal
penalties, the imposition of cleanup and site restoration costs
and liens, the issuance of injunctions to limit or cease
operations, the suspension or revocation of permits and other
enforcement measures that could have the effect of limiting
production from our operations. We may also incur costs and
liabilities resulting from claims for damages to property or
injury to persons arising from our operations. If we are pursued
for these sanctions, costs and liabilities, our mining
operations and, as a result, our profitability could be
adversely affected.
The possibility exists that new legislation and/or regulations
and orders may be adopted that may materially adversely affect
our mining operations, our cost structure and/or our
customers' ability to use coal. New legislation or
administrative regulations (or new judicial interpretations or
administrative enforcement of existing laws and regulations),
including proposals related to the protection of the environment
that would further regulate and tax the coal industry, may also
require us or our customers to change operations significantly
or incur increased costs. These regulations, if proposed and
enacted in the future, could have a material adverse effect on
our financial condition and results of operations.
Extensive environmental regulations affect our customers
    and could reduce the demand for coal as a fuel source and cause
    our sales to decline.
The Clean Air Act and similar state and local laws extensively
regulate the amount of sulfur dioxide, particulate matter,
nitrogen oxides, and other compounds emitted into the air from
electric power plants, which are the largest end-users of our
coal. Such regulations will require significant emissions
control expenditures for many coal-fired power plants to comply
with applicable ambient air quality standards. As a result,
these generators may switch to other fuels that generate less of
these emissions, possibly reducing future demand for coal and
the construction of coal-fired power plants.
Various new and proposed laws and regulations may require
further reductions in emissions from coal-fired utilities. For
example, under the new Clean Air Interstate Rule issued on
March 10, 2005, the EPA will further regulate sulfur
dioxide and nitrogen oxides from coal-fired power plants. When
fully implemented, this rule is expected to reduce sulfur
dioxide emissions in affected states by over 70% and nitrogen
oxides emissions by over 60% from 2003 levels. The stringency of
this cap may require many coal-fired sources to install
additional pollution control equipment, such as wet scrubbers,
to comply. Installation of additional pollution control
equipment required by this rule could result in a decrease in
the demand for low sulfur coal (because sulfur would be removed
by the new emissions control equipment), potentially driving
down prices for low sulfur coal. In addition, under the Clean
Air Act, coal-fired power plants will be required to control
hazardous air pollution emissions by no later than 2009, which
likely will require significant new investment in
pollution-control devices by power plant operators. Further, on
March 15, 2005, the EPA finalized the Clean Air Mercury
Rule intended to control mercury emissions from power plants,
which could require coal-fired power plants to install new
pollution controls or comply with a mandatory, declining cap on
the total mercury emissions allowed from coal-fired power plants
nationwide. These standards and future standards could have the
effect of making coal-fired plants unprofitable, thereby
decreasing demand for coal. The majority of our coal supply
agreements contain provisions that allow a purchaser to
terminate its contract if legislation is passed that either
restricts the use or type of coal permissible at the
purchaser's plant or results in specified increases in the
cost of coal or its use.
Several proposals are pending in Congress and various states
that are designed to further reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide,
nitrogen oxides and mercury from power plants, and certain ones
could regulate additional air pollutants. If such initiatives
are enacted into law, power plant operators could choose fuel
sources other than coal to meet their requirements, thereby
reducing the demand for coal.
30
Table of Contents
Current and possible future governmental programs are or may be
in place to require the purchase and trading of allowances
associated with the emission of various substances such as
sulfur dioxide, nitrous oxide, mercury and carbon dioxide.
Changes in the markets for and prices of allowances could have a
material effect on demand for and prices received for our coal.
A regional haze program initiated by the EPA to protect and to
improve visibility at and around national parks, national
wilderness areas and international parks restricts the
construction of new coal-fired power plants whose operation may
impair visibility at and around federally protected areas, and
may require some existing coal-fired power plants, and certain
thermal dryers, to install additional control measures designed
to limit haze-causing emissions.
One major by-product of burning coal is carbon dioxide, which is
considered a greenhouse gas and is a major source of concern
with respect to global warming. In November 2004, Russia
ratified the Kyoto Protocol to the 1992 Framework Convention on
Global Climate Change (the "Protocol"), which
establishes a binding set of emission targets for greenhouse
gases. With Russia's accedence, the Protocol now has
sufficient support and became binding on all those countries
that have ratified it on February 16, 2005. Four
industrialized nations have refused to ratify the
Protocol — Australia, Liechtenstein, Monaco, and the
United States. Although the targets vary from country to
country, if the United States were to ratify the Protocol, our
nation would be required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to
93% of 1990 levels in a series of phased reductions from 2008 to
2012. Canada, which accounted for approximately 6% of our 2004
sales volume, ratified the Protocol in 2002. Under the Protocol,
Canada will be required to cut greenhouse gas emissions to 6%
below 1990 levels in a series of phased reductions from 2008 to
2012, either in direct reductions in emissions or by obtaining
credits through the Protocol's market mechanisms. This
could result in reduced demand for coal by Canadian electric
power generators.
Future regulation of greenhouse gases in the United States could
occur pursuant to future U.S. treaty obligations, statutory
or regulatory changes under the Clean Air Act, or otherwise. The
Bush Administration has proposed a package of voluntary emission
reductions for greenhouse gases reduction targets which provide
for certain incentives if targets are met. Some states, such as
Massachusetts, have already issued regulations regulating
greenhouse gas emissions from large power plants. Further, in
2002, the Conference of New England Governors and Eastern
Canadian Premiers adopted a Climate Change Action Plan, calling
for reduction in regional greenhouse emissions to 1990 levels by
2010, and a further reduction of at least 10% below 1990 levels
by 2020. Increased efforts to control greenhouse gas emissions,
including the future ratification of the Protocol by the United
States, could result in reduced demand for our coal. See
"Environmental and Other Regulatory Matters."
Our operations may impact the environment or cause
    exposure to hazardous substances, and our properties may have
    environmental contamination, which could result in material
    liabilities to us.
Our operations currently use hazardous materials and generate
limited quantities of hazardous wastes from time to time. Our
Predecessor and acquired companies also utilized certain
hazardous materials and generated similar wastes. We may be
subject to claims under federal and state statutes and/or common
law doctrines for toxic torts, natural resource damages and
other damages as well as for the investigation and clean up of
soil, surface water, groundwater, and other media. Such claims
may arise, for example, out of current or former conditions at
sites that we own or operate currently, as well as at sites that
we or our Predecessor and acquired companies owned or operated
in the past, and at contaminated sites that have always been
owned or operated by third parties. Our liability for such
claims may be joint and several, so that we may be held
responsible for more than our share of the contamination or
other damages, or even for the entire share. We have not been
subject to claims arising out of contamination at our
facilities, and are not aware of any such contamination, but may
incur such liabilities in the future.
We maintain extensive coal slurry impoundments at a number of
our mines. Such impoundments are subject to extensive
regulation. Slurry impoundments maintained by other coal mining
operations have been known to fail, releasing large volumes of
coal slurry. Structural failure of an impoundment can result in
extensive damage to the environment and natural resources, such
as streams or bodies of water that the
31
Table of Contents
coal slurry reaches, as well as liability for related personal
injuries and property damages, and injuries to wildlife. Some of
our impoundments overlie mined out areas, which can pose a
heightened risk of failure and of damages arising out of
failure. If one of our impoundments were to fail, we could be
subject to substantial claims for the resulting environmental
contamination and associated liability, as well as for fines and
penalties.
These and other similar unforeseen impacts that our operations
may have on the environment, as well as exposures to hazardous
substances or wastes associated with our operations, could
result in costs and liabilities that could materially and
adversely affect us.
We may be unable to obtain and renew permits necessary for
    our operations, which would reduce our production, cash flow and
    profitability.
Mining companies must obtain numerous permits that impose strict
regulations on various environmental and safety matters in
connection with coal mining. These include permits issued by
various federal and state agencies and regulatory bodies. The
permitting rules are complex and may change over time, making
our ability to comply with the applicable requirements more
difficult or even impossible, thereby precluding continuing or
future mining operations. Private individuals and the public
have certain rights to comment upon, submit objections to, and
otherwise engage in the permitting process, including through
court intervention. Accordingly, the permits we need may not be
issued, maintained or renewed, or may not be issued or renewed
in a timely fashion, or may involve requirements that restrict
our ability to conduct our mining operations. An inability to
conduct our mining operations pursuant to applicable permits
would reduce our production, cash flow, and profitability.
Permits under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act are
required for coal companies to conduct dredging or filling
activities in jurisdictional waters for the purpose of creating
slurry ponds, water impoundments, refuse areas, valley fills or
other mining activities. The COE is empowered to issue
"nationwide" permits for specific categories of
filling activity that are determined to have minimal
environmental adverse effects in order to save the cost and time
of issuing individual permits under Section 404. Nationwide
Permit 21 authorizes the disposal of dredge-and-fill material
from mining activities into the waters of the United States. On
October 23, 2003, several citizens groups sued the COE in
the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West
Virginia seeking to invalidate "nationwide" permits
utilized by the COE and the coal industry for permitting most
in-stream disturbances associated with coal mining, including
excess spoil valley fills and refuse impoundments. The
plaintiffs sought to enjoin the prospective approval of these
nationwide permits and to enjoin some coal operators from
additional use of existing nationwide permit approvals until
they obtain more detailed "individual" permits. On
July 8, 2004, the court issued an order enjoining the
further issuance of Nationwide 21 permits within the Southern
District of West Virginia. Although we had no operations that
were immediately impacted or interrupted, this decision has
required us to convert certain current and planned applications
for Nationwide 21 permits to applications for individual
permits. A similar lawsuit was filed on January 27, 2005 in
the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of
Kentucky, and other lawsuits may be filed in other states where
we operate. Although it is not possible to predict the results
of the Kentucky litigation, it could adversely affect our
Kentucky operations.
We may not be able to implement required public-company
    internal controls over financial reporting in the required time
    frame or with adequate compliance, and implementation of the
    controls will increase our costs.
Our current operations consist primarily of the assets of our
Predecessor and the other operations we have acquired, each of
which had different historical operating, financial, accounting
and other systems. Due to our rapid growth and limited history
operating our acquired operations as an integrated business, our
internal control over financial reporting does not currently
meet all the standards contemplated by Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act that we will eventually be required to meet.
Areas of deficiency in our internal control over financial
reporting requiring improvement include: documentation of
controls and procedures; segregation of duties; timely
reconciliation of accounts; methods of reconciling fixed asset
32
Table of Contents
accounts; the structure of our general ledger information;
security access controls and testing of our disaster recovery
plan for our information technology systems; and the level of
experience in public company accounting and periodic reporting
matters among our financial and accounting staff. In addition,
in connection with our integration of the Nicewonder Coal
Group's operations, we will also be required to assess and
make any necessary adjustments to the Nicewonder Coal
Group's internal controls and procedures. If we are not
able to implement the requirements of Section 404 in a
timely manner or with adequate compliance, our independent
auditors may not be able to certify as to the adequacy of our
internal controls over financial reporting. This result may
subject us to adverse regulatory consequences, and there could
also be a negative reaction in the financial markets due to a
loss of confidence in the reliability of our financial
statements. We could also suffer a loss of confidence in the
reliability of our financial statements if our auditors report a
material weakness in our internal controls. We will incur
incremental costs in order to comply with Section 404,
including increased auditing and legal fees and costs associated
with hiring additional accounting and administrative staff with
experience managing public companies.
Our ability to operate our company effectively could be
    impaired if we fail to attract and retain key personnel.
Our ability to operate our business and implement our strategies
depends, in part, on the efforts of our executive officers and
other key employees. In addition, our future success will depend
on, among other factors, our ability to attract and retain other
qualified personnel. The successful integration of the
Nicewonder Coal Group also requires us to, among other things,
retain key employees. Our future performance depends, in part,
on our ability to successfully integrate these new employees
into our company. The loss of the services of any of our
executive officers or other key employees or the inability to
attract or retain other qualified personnel in the future could
have a material adverse effect on our business or business
prospects.
Certain of our subsidiaries have entered into employment
agreements with two of our executive officers —
Michael J. Quillen, our Chief Executive Officer, and
D. Scott Kroh, one of our Executive Vice Presidents. Each
of our other executive officers are employed on an at-will
basis. Unless extended, the employment agreements between
Messrs. Quillen and Kroh and our subsidiaries terminate on
March 11, 2006. When the terms of these agreements expire,
we may not be able to renew or extend these employment
agreements on terms acceptable to us. In addition, the
employment agreements with Mr. Quillen and Mr. Kroh
provide that if either executive resigns for "employee
cause" (as defined in the applicable agreement), we will be
required to pay the executive his earned but unpaid salary
through the date of termination, and to continue to pay his then
current base salary for the following twelve months, and
the executive would be entitled to receive any bonuses payable
for prior years, plus the pro rata bonus payable for the current
year, at the same time as bonuses are paid to similarly situated
employees. The employment agreements with Mr. Quillen and
Mr. Kroh provide that a resignation by either executive for
"employee cause" includes, among other things, the
executive's resignation during the period beginning three
months, and ending nine months following the liquidation or sale
by First Reserve of more than 75% of its ownership in ANR
Holdings and its affiliates, which, based on the
62,224,580 shares outstanding as of October 13, 2005,
would result from First Reserve holding less than approximately
13.7% of our outstanding common stock after such a sale or
liquidation.
A shortage of skilled labor in the Appalachian region
    could pose a risk to achieving improved labor productivity and
    competitive costs and could adversely affect our
    profitability.
Efficient coal mining using modern techniques and equipment
requires skilled laborers, preferably with at least a year of
experience and proficiency in multiple mining tasks. In recent
years, a shortage of trained coal miners in the Appalachian
region has caused us to operate certain units without full
staff, which decreases our productivity and increases our costs.
For example, during the third quarter of 2005, production at our
contractor operations was running approximately 28% behind plan,
primarily due to shortages in the supply of labor. If the
shortage of experienced labor continues or worsens, it could
have an
33
Table of Contents
adverse impact on our labor productivity and costs and our
ability to expand production in the event there is an increase
in the demand for our coal, which could adversely affect our
profitability.
Our significant indebtedness could harm our business by
    limiting our available cash and our access to additional capital
    and could force us to sell material assets or take other actions
    to attempt to reduce our indebtedness.
We are a highly leveraged company. Our financial performance
could be affected by our significant indebtedness. At
June 30, 2005, we had approximately $262.6 million of
indebtedness outstanding, representing 68% of our total
capitalization. This indebtedness consisted of
$175.0 million principal of our 10% senior notes due
2012, $78.0 million of borrowings under our revolving
credit facility that will mature in May 2009 and
$9.6 million of other indebtedness, including
$1.7 million of capital lease obligations extending through
March 2009, $0.9 million principal amount in variable rate
term notes maturing in April 2006 that we incurred in connection
with equipment financing and $7.0 million payable to an
insurance premium finance company. In addition, under our credit
facility we had $53.4 million of letters of credit
outstanding and additional borrowings available under the
revolving portion of our credit facility of $43.6 million.
In connection with the Nicewonder Acquisition, we will refinance
all outstanding indebtedness under our existing credit facility
with a new credit facility providing for up to
$500.0 million of borrowings, including a
$250.0 million revolving credit facility and
$250.0 million term loan. In addition, under the terms of
the Nicewonder Acquisition one of our indirect, wholly-owned
subsidiaries will issue $221.0 million in promissory
installment notes, payable in two installments of
$181.1 million one week after closing and
$39.9 million on January 15, 2006. We may also incur
additional indebtedness in the future. On a pro forma basis
giving effect to the Nicewonder Acquisition and 2005 Financing,
including payment of the first installment of the notes issued
to the Nicewonder Coal Group sellers, we would have had
$528.8 million of indebtedness outstanding as of
June 30, 2005, representing 75% of our total capitalization.
This level of indebtedness could have important consequences to
our business. For example, it could:
•
increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and
    industry conditions;
•
make it more difficult to self-insure and obtain surety bonds or
    letters of credit;
•
limit our ability to enter into new long-term sales contracts;
•
make it more difficult for us to pay interest and satisfy our
    debt obligations, including our obligations with respect to the
    notes;
•
require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow
    from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby
    reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working
    capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general
    corporate activities;
•
limit our ability to obtain additional financing to fund future
    working capital, capital expenditures, research and development,
    debt service requirements or other general corporate
    requirements;
•
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes
    in our business and in the coal industry;
•
place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to less
    leveraged competitors; and
•
limit our ability to borrow additional funds.
If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund
our debt service obligations or our requirements under our other
long-term liabilities, we may be forced to sell assets, seek
additional capital or seek to restructure or refinance our
indebtedness. These alternative measures may not be successful
and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service
obligations, including our obligations with respect to the
notes, or our requirements under our other long term
liabilities. In the absence of such operating results and
resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and
might be required to sell material
34
Table of Contents
assets or operations to attempt to meet our debt service and
other obligations. Our existing credit facility and the
indenture under which our senior notes were issued restrict our
ability to sell assets and use the proceeds from the sales. We
may not be able to consummate those sales or to obtain the
proceeds which we could realize from them and these proceeds may
not be adequate to meet any debt service obligations then due.
Furthermore, substantially all of our material assets secure our
indebtedness under our existing credit facility. We expect that
our new credit facility, if consummated, would contain similar
restrictions and encumbrances on assets.
Despite our current leverage, we may still be able to
    incur substantially more debt. This could further exacerbate the
    risks associated with our significant indebtedness.
We may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in
the future. The terms of our existing credit facility and the
indenture governing our senior notes do not prohibit us from
doing so. Our credit facility provides for a revolving line of
credit of up to $125.0 million, of which $43.6 million
was available as of June 30, 2005. In addition, we have
entered into a commitment letter with certain lenders related to
the 2005 Financing for a new $500.0 million credit
facility, which would include a $250.0 term loan facility, to be
fully drawn at closing, and a $250.0 revolving credit facility.
The addition of new debt to our current debt levels, could
increase the related risks that we now face. For example, the
spread over the variable interest rate applicable to loans under
our credit facility is (and under our new credit facility will
be) dependent on our leverage ratio, and it would increase if
our leverage ratio increases. Additional drawings under our
revolving line of credit could also limit the amount available
for letters of credit in support of our bonding obligations,
which we will require as we develop and acquire new mines.
The covenants in our credit facility and the indenture
    governing the notes impose restrictions that may limit our
    operating and financial flexibility.
Our existing credit facility and the indenture governing our
senior notes contain a number of significant restrictions and
covenants that limit our ability and our subsidiaries'
ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness or
enter into sale and leaseback transactions, pay dividends, make
redemptions and repurchases of certain capital stock, make loans
and investments, create liens, engage in transactions with
affiliates and merge or consolidate with other companies or sell
substantially all of our assets. Our new 2005 Financing credit
facility, if consummated, will contain similar restrictions and
encumbrances on assets.
These covenants could adversely affect our ability to finance
our future operations or capital needs or to execute preferred
business strategies. In addition, if we violate these covenants
and are unable to obtain waivers from our lenders, our debt
under these agreements would be in default and could be
accelerated by our lenders. If our indebtedness is accelerated,
we may not be able repay our debt or borrow sufficient funds to
refinance it. Even if we were able to obtain new financing, it
may not be on commercially reasonable terms, on terms that are
acceptable to us, or at all. If our debt is in default for any
reason, our business, financial condition and results of
operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Failure to obtain or renew surety bonds on acceptable
    terms could affect our ability to secure reclamation and coal
    lease obligations, which could adversely affect our ability to
    mine or lease coal.
Federal and state laws require us to obtain surety bonds to
secure payment of certain long-term obligations such as mine
closure or reclamation costs, federal and state workers'
compensation costs, coal leases and other obligations. These
bonds are typically renewable annually. Surety bond issuers and
holders may not continue to renew the bonds or may demand
additional collateral or other less favorable terms upon those
renewals. The ability of surety bond issuers and holders to
demand additional collateral or other less favorable terms has
increased as the number of companies willing to issue these
bonds has decreased over time. Our failure to maintain, or our
inability to acquire, surety bonds that are required by state
and federal law would affect our ability to secure reclamation
and coal lease obligations, which could
35
Table of Contents
adversely affect our ability to mine or lease coal. That failure
could result from a variety of factors including, without
limitation:
•
lack of availability, higher expense or unfavorable market terms
    of new bonds;
•
restrictions on availability of collateral for current and
    future third-party surety bond issuers under the terms of our
    credit facility or the indenture governing our senior
    notes; and
•
the exercise by third-party surety bond issuers of their right
    to refuse to renew the surety.
Failure to maintain capacity for required letters of
    credit could limit our available borrowing capacity under our
    credit facility, limit our ability to obtain or renew surety
    bonds and negatively impact our ability to obtain additional
    financing to fund future working capital, capital expenditure or
    other general corporate requirements.
At June 30, 2005, we had $53.4 million of letters of
credit in place, of which $52.5 million serve as collateral
for reclamation surety bonds and $0.9 million secure
miscellaneous obligations. Our existing credit facility provides
for commitments of up to $175.0 million, consisting of a
funded letter of credit facility of up to $50.0 million and
a $125.0 million revolving credit facility, of which
$50.0 million can be used to issue additional letters of
credit. As of June 30, 2005, our entire $50.0 million
funded letter of credit facility under the existing credit
facility has been committed and we have an additional
$3.4 million of letters of credit outstanding under the
revolving credit facility. Our new credit facility, if
consummated, is expected to provide for commitments of up to
$500.0 million, of which up to $250.0 million could be
used to issue letters of credit. Upon closing of the Nicewonder
Acquisition, we expect to require an additional
$11.8 million in letters of credit to serve as collateral
for $23.7 million in reclamation surety bond and other
obligations we will assume in respect of the Nicewonder Coal
Group. In addition, obligations secured by letters of credit may
increase in the future. Any such increase would limit our
available borrowing capacity under our current or future credit
facilities and could negatively impact our ability to obtain
additional financing to fund future working capital, capital
expenditure or other general corporate requirements. Moreover,
if we do not maintain sufficient borrowing capacity under our
revolving credit facility for additional letters of credit, we
may be unable to obtain or renew surety bonds required for our
mining operations.
If our assumptions regarding our likely future expenses
    related to benefits for non-active employees are incorrect, then
    expenditures for these benefits could be materially higher than
    we have predicted.
At the times that we acquired the assets of our Predecessor and
acquired companies, the Predecessor and acquired operations were
subject to long-term liabilities under a variety of benefit
plans and other arrangements with active and inactive employees.
We assumed a portion of these long-term obligations. The current
and non-current accrued portions of these long-term obligations,
as reflected in our consolidated financial statements as of
June 30, 2005, included $20.1 million of
postretirement medical obligations and $5.9 million of
self-insured workers' compensation obligations, and our
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at
December 31, 2004 is $43.8 million. These obligations
have been estimated based on assumptions that are described in
the notes to our consolidated financial statements included
elsewhere in this prospectus. However, if our assumptions are
incorrect, we could be required to expend greater amounts than
anticipated.
Several states in which we operate consider changes in
workers' compensation laws from time to time, which, if
enacted, could adversely affect us. In addition, if any of the
sellers from whom we acquired our operations fail to satisfy
their indemnification obligations to us with respect to
postretirement claims and retained liabilities, then we could be
required to expend greater amounts than anticipated. See
"— The inability of the sellers of our
Predecessor and acquired companies to fulfill their
indemnification obligations to us under our acquisition
agreements could increase our liabilities and adversely affect
our results of operations." Moreover, under certain
acquisition agreements, we agreed to permit responsibility for
black lung claims related to the sellers' former employees
who are employed by us for less than one year after the
acquisition to be determined in accordance with law (rather than
specifically assigned to one party or
36
Table of Contents
the other in the agreements). We believe that the sellers remain
liable as a matter of law for black lung benefits for their
former employees who work for us for less than one year;
however, an adverse ruling on this issue could increase our
exposure to black lung benefit liabilities.
Demand for our coal changes seasonally and could have an
    adverse effect on the timing of our cash flows and our ability
    to service our existing and future indebtedness.
Our business is seasonal, with operating results varying from
quarter to quarter. We have historically experienced lower sales
during winter months primarily due to the freezing of lakes that
we use to transport coal to some of our customers. As a result,
our first quarter cash flow and profits have been, and may
continue to be, negatively impacted. Lower than expected sales
by us during this period could have a material adverse effect on
the timing of our cash flows and therefore our ability to
service our obligations with respect to our existing and future
indebtedness.
Our earnings will be reduced in future periods as a result
    of our issuance of shares of our common stock to members of
    management as part of the Internal Restructuring.
As part of the Internal Restructuring, our executive officers
and certain other key employees exchanged their interests in ANR
Holdings for shares of our common stock and the right to
participate in a distribution of the proceeds received by us
from the underwriters as a result of the underwriters'
exercise of their over-allotment option in connection with the
IPO. As a result, we recorded stock-based compensation expense
equal to the fair value of the vested shares issued and
distributions paid in the amount of $39.4 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2005. In addition, as a result of
the conversion of outstanding options held by members of our
management to purchase units of Alpha Coal Management into
options to purchase up to 596,985 shares of our common
stock in connection with the Internal Restructuring (the
"ACM Converted Options"), we recorded stock-based
compensation of $0.4 million for the first six months
of 2005. The aggregate amount of stock-based compensation
expense and stock-based compensation we recorded in the first
six months of 2005 was $39.8 million, equal to the
$39.4 million of expense associated with distributions paid
and the vested portions of shares issued in the Internal
Restructuring and amortization expense from the unvested
portions of shares issued in the Internal Restructuring, and
$0.4 million of amortization expense from the ACM Converted
Options. In addition, we had deferred stock-based compensation
at June 30, 2005 of $22.0 million, including
$19.2 million and $2.8 million associated with the
unvested portions of shares issued in the Internal Restructuring
and the ACM Converted Options, respectively, that we will record
as non-cash stock-based compensation expense over the remaining
term of the applicable two-year and five-year vesting periods,
respectively. The amortization of the deferred stock-based
compensation relating to the unvested shares issued in the
Internal Restructuring and the ACM converted options over the
applicable two-year and five-year vesting periods will result in
a non-cash amortization expense in these periods, thereby
reducing our earnings in those periods.
Our Sponsors may have significant influence on our company
    and may have conflicts of interest with us or you in the
    future.
The First Reserve Stockholders and persons affiliated with AMCI
beneficially own approximately 41% of our common stock. We refer
to First Reserve and to AMCI and its affiliates, collectively,
as our "Sponsors." After this offering, our Sponsors
will collectively beneficially own
approximately           %
of our common stock, or
approximately           %
if the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase
additional shares. Our Sponsors are in the business of making
investments in companies and they may from time to time acquire
and hold interests in businesses that compete directly or
indirectly with us. For example, our Sponsors hold a combined
12.6% ownership interest in Foundation Coal Holdings, Inc.
("Foundation") as of September 30, 2005. These
other investments may create competing financial demands on our
Sponsors, potential conflicts of interest and require efforts
consistent with applicable law to keep the other businesses
separate from our operations. Our Sponsors may also pursue
acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to our
business, and as a result, those acquisition opportunities
37
Table of Contents
may not be available to us. Additionally, our amended and
restated certificate of incorporation provides that our Sponsors
may compete with us. Their designees on our board of directors
will not be required to offer corporate opportunities to us and
may take any such opportunities for themselves, other than any
opportunities offered to the designees solely in their capacity
as one of our directors. So long as our Sponsors continue to own
a significant amount of our equity, even if such amount is less
than 50%, they will continue to be able to strongly influence or
effectively control our decisions. For example, our Sponsors
could cause us to make acquisitions that increase our amount of
indebtedness or sell revenue-generating assets.
Terrorist attacks and threats, escalation of military
    activity in response to such attacks or acts of war may
    negatively affect our business, financial condition and results
    of operations.
Terrorist attacks and threats, escalation of military activity
in response to such attacks or acts of war may negatively affect
our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Our business is affected by general economic conditions,
fluctuations in consumer confidence and spending, and market
liquidity, which can decline as a result of numerous factors
outside of our control, such as terrorist attacks and acts of
war. Future terrorist attacks against U.S. targets, rumors
or threats of war, actual conflicts involving the United States
or its allies, or military or trade disruptions affecting our
customers may materially adversely affect our operations and
those of our customers. As a result, there could be delays or
losses in transportation and deliveries of coal to our
customers, decreased sales of our coal and extension of time for
payment of accounts receivable from our customers. Strategic
targets such as energy-related assets may be at greater risk of
future terrorist attacks than other targets in the United
States. In addition, disruption or significant increases in
energy prices could result in government-imposed price controls.
It is possible that any of these occurrences, or a combination
of them, could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Related to the Offering
Future sales of our shares could depress the market price
    of our common stock.
The market price of our common stock could decline as a result
of sales of a large number of shares of common stock in the
market after the offering or the perception that such sales
could occur. These sales, or the possibility that these sales
may occur, also might make it more difficult for us to sell
equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we
deem appropriate.
We, our executive officers, directors and our Sponsors have
agreed with the underwriters not to sell, dispose of or hedge
any shares of our common stock or securities convertible into or
exchangeable for shares of our common stock, subject to
specified exceptions, during the period from the date of this
prospectus continuing through the date that
is            days
after the date of this prospectus, except with the prior written
consent
of                     .
After this offering, we will have outstanding
62,224,580 shares of common stock, plus, assuming that the
Nicewonder Acquisition has closed prior to this offering, the
shares of our common stock issued in connection with the closing
of the Nicewonder Acquisition, which will be equal to
approximately $60.0 million in value of shares of our
common stock based on the weighted average trading price of our
common stock during the 20-day trading period immediately prior
to the Nicewonder Acquisition closing. Of those shares,
the            shares
being offered hereby, plus the 33,925,000 shares previously
sold in our initial public offering, as well as shares that have
been resold since the IPO pursuant to Rules 144 or 701 of
the Securities Act or issued by us pursuant to our registration
statement on Form S-8, will be freely tradeable without
restriction or further registration under the Securities Act,
except that any shares held by our "affiliates," as
that term is defined under Rule 144, may be sold only in
compliance with the limitations of Rule 144. In
addition,            shares
will be eligible for resale from time to time after the
expiration of
the           -day
lock-up period, subject to Securities Act restrictions,
including those relating to the volume, manner of sale and other
conditions of Rule 144, and, in the case of shares owned by
management, the conditions of Rule 701 and certain vesting
agreements. After the expiration of the
38
Table of Contents
-day
lock-up period, the Sponsors and their affiliates, which will
collectively beneficially
own            shares
after this offering assuming the underwriters' option is
exercised in full, will have the ability to cause us to register
the resale of their remaining shares.
The market price of our common stock may be volatile,
    which could cause the value of your investment to
    decline.
Securities markets worldwide experience significant price and
volume fluctuations. This market volatility, as well as general
economic, market or potential conditions, could reduce market
price of our common stock in spite of our operating performance.
In addition, our operating results could be below the
expectations of public market analysts and investors, and in
response, the market price of our common stock could decrease
significantly. You may be unable to resell your shares of our
common stock at or above the offering price.
Our ability to pay regular dividends to our stockholders
is subject to the discretion of our board of directors and may
be limited by our holding company structure, the covenants in
our debt instruments and applicable provisions of Delaware
law.
As discussed under "Dividend Policy," we expect to
commence a policy of paying quarterly dividends beginning in
2006. Our board of directors may, in its discretion, decrease
the level of dividends or discontinue the payment of dividends
entirely. In addition, as a holding company, we will be
dependent upon the ability of our direct and indirect
subsidiaries to generate earnings and cash flows and distribute
them to intermediate parent companies and to us so that we can
pay dividends to our stockholders, as well as our obligations
and expenses. Our subsidiaries' ability to make such
distributions will be subject to their operating results, cash
requirements and financial condition, the applicable laws of the
State of Delaware (which may limit the amount of funds available
for distribution to equity interest holders), compliance with
covenants and financial ratios related to existing or future
indebtedness, and other agreements with third parties. If, as a
consequence of these various limitations and restrictions, we
are unable to generate sufficient distributions from our
business, we may not be able to make, or may have to reduce or
eliminate, the payment of dividends on our shares.
Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws
    may discourage a takeover attempt even if doing so might be
    beneficial to our shareholders.
Provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation and
bylaws could impose impediments to the ability of a third party
to acquire us even if a change of control would be beneficial to
our existing shareholders. Provisions of our certificate of
incorporation and bylaws impose various procedural and other
requirements, which could make it more difficult for
stockholders to effect certain corporate actions. For example,
our certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of
directors to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and
restrictions of unissued series of preferred stock, without any
vote or action by our stockholders. Thus, our board of directors
can authorize and issue shares of preferred stock with voting or
conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting or
other rights of holders of our common stock. These rights may
have the effect of delaying or deterring a change of control of
our company, and could limit the price that certain investors
might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common
stock. See "Description of Capital Stock."

unanticipated events which may cause actual results to differ
from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking
statements contained in this prospectus.
The following factors are among those that may cause actual
results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements:
•
market demand for coal, electricity and steel;
•
future economic or capital market conditions;
•
weather conditions or catastrophic weather-related damage;
•
our production capabilities;
•
the consummation of financing, acquisition or disposition
    transactions and the effect thereof on our business;

our ability to successfully integrate the operations we intend
    to acquire in the Nicewonder Acquisition with our existing
    operations, and to successfully operate NCI's highway
    construction business;
•
our plans and objectives for future operations and expansion or
    consolidation;
•
our relationships with, and other conditions affecting, our
    customers;
•
timing of reductions in customer coal inventories;

MARKET AND INDUSTRY DATA AND FORECASTS
In this prospectus, we refer to information regarding the coal
industry in the United States and internationally that is
available from the World Coal Institute, the
U.S. Department of Energy, the National Energy Technology
Laboratory, the U.S. Energy Information Administration,
Platts Research and Consulting, the International Iron and Steel
Institute, Bloomberg L.P., the Bureau of Economic Analysis,
Global Energy Advisors and BP Statistical Review. These
organizations are not affiliated with us. They are not aware of
and have not consented to being named in this prospectus. We
believe that this information is reliable. In addition, in many
cases we have made statements in this prospectus regarding our
industry and our position in the industry based on our
experience in the industry and our own investigation of market
conditions.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of common
stock in this offering.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We expect to commence a policy of paying quarterly dividends
beginning in 2006, initially of between $.02 and $.03 per
share, to the holders of our common stock. We would expect our
board to commence and continue this dividend policy for the
foreseeable future subject to (1) our results of operations
and the amount of our surplus available to be distributed,
(2) dividend availability and restrictions under our credit
facility and indenture, (3) the dividend rate being paid by
comparable companies in the coal industry, (4) our
liquidity needs and financial condition, (5) the level of
cash investments we may make in connection with potential future
acquisitions and (6) other factors that our board of
directors may deem relevant. Currently, the terms of our credit
facility and our senior notes restrict our ability to pay
dividends to our stockholders. We expect that the new credit
facility, when completed, would impose similar restrictions on
our ability to pay dividends. See "Risk Factors —
Our ability to pay regular dividends to our stockholders is
subject to the discretion of our board of directors and may be
limited by our holding company structure, the covenants in our
debt instruments and applicable provisions of Delaware
law," and "Risk Factors — The covenants in
our existing credit facility and the indenture governing our
senior notes impose restrictions that may limit our operating
and financial flexibility."

Our existing credit facility provides for a $50.0 million
    funded letter of credit facility and a revolving credit facility
    of up to $125.0 million (under which $50.0 million is
    available for additional letters of credit). As of June 30,
    2005, we had $78.0 million of indebtedness and an
    additional $53.4 million of letters of credit outstanding
    under our existing credit facility, resulting in availability
    under the revolving credit facility of $43.6 million.
(2)
We anticipate that we will terminate our existing credit
    facility and enter into the 2005 Financing in connection with
    the closing of the Nicewonder Acquisition. Immediately after
    consummation of the 2005 Financing, including our repayment one
    week after closing of the $181.1 million first installment
    of the promissory notes we expect to issue to the Nicewonder
    Coal Group sellers, we anticipate that we will have
    approximately $528.8 million of indebtedness (including
    $250.0 million of term loans and $54.3 million of
    revolving loans) and an additional $65.0 million of letters
    of credit outstanding under such new credit facility. See
    "Description of Indebtedness — New Credit
    Facility."
(3)
Includes promissory installment notes to be issued to sellers
    pursuant to the Nicewonder Acquisition by one of our indirect,
    wholly owned subsidiaries, which will be payable in two
    installments of $181.1 million one week after closing,
    which we intend to repay using the term loan portion of our new
    credit facility, and $39.9 million on January 15, 2006.

Table of Contents
(4)
Includes $1.7 million of capital lease obligations
    extending through March 2009, $0.9 million principal amount
    in variable rate term notes maturing in April 2006 that we
    incurred in connection with equipment financing and
    $7.0 million payable to an insurance premium finance
    company in installments of approximately $1.4 million per
    month through November of 2005.
(5)
As part of the Nicewonder Acquisition, we will issue shares of
    our common stock with a value of approximately
    $60.0 million. For purposes of the pro forma capitalization
    table, 2.0 million shares are assumed to be issued with an
    average share price of $30. The number of shares to be issued
    will be based on the weighted average trading price of our
    common stock during the 20-day trading period immediately prior
    to the closing. As a result the number of shares issued may
    change from the amount assumed in the pro forma presentation.
    Because the value of the shares issued will be based on the
    closing date for accounting purposes, the share price used to
    determine the value of the final consideration for accounting
    purposes could change significantly.

    from The Combined Entities of The Nicewonder Coal Group as shown

    financing indebtedness of $38.6 million as of June 30,
    2005, all of which is required to be repaid prior
45
Table of Contents
to the closing of the Nicewonder Acquisition. The purchase price
    of the Nicewonder Acquisition totals $316.2 million and
    consists of cash at closing in the amount of $35.2 million,
    installment promissory notes to be issued to the sellers in the
    aggregate principal amount of $221.0 million,
    $181.1 million of which is due one week after closing, with
    the remaining $39.9 million due in January 2006 and shares
    of our common stock with a value of approximately
    $60.0 million. For purposes of the pro forma calculations,
    2.0 million shares are assumed to be issued with an average
    share price of $30. The number of shares to be issued will be
    based on the weighted average trading price of our common stock
    during the 20-day trading period immediately prior to the
    closing. As a result the number of shares issued may change from
    the amount assumed in the pro forma presentation. Because the
    value of the shares issued will be based on the closing date for
    accounting purposes, the share price used to determine the value
    of the final consideration for accounting purposes could change
    significantly.

The purchase price allocation is based on preliminary estimates
    of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities
    assumed. After the closing of the acquisition, we will complete
    an evaluation of the fair values and the lives of the assets.
    Fair market value adjustments reflected in the pro forma
    financial statements may be subject to revisions and adjustments
    pending finalization of the evaluation.

Reflects borrowings under our new credit facility revolver to
    pay the $35.2 million of cash required at the closing of
    the Nicewonder Acquisition in late October 2005.

Reflects the issuance of notes payable to the Nicewonder Coal
    Group sellers.
(5)
Reflects the issuance of 2.0 million shares to the
    Nicewonder Coal Group sellers at the assumed market price of
    $30 per share.
(6)
Reflects $10.0 million of estimated deferred financing
    costs associated with the 2005 Financings and the write-off of
    $3.3 million of the unamortized balance of the deferred
    financing costs related to our existing revolver.
(7)
Reflects the issuance of the $250 million seven-year term
    loan, the repayment of the first installment of the seller notes
    in the amount of $181.1 million and the repayment of
    $68.9 million of our existing revolver. The remaining
    balance on our existing revolver in the amount of
    $9.1 million, plus $35.2 million to fund the cash
    consideration payable to the sellers at the closing of the
    Nicewonder Acquisition and $10.0 million in deferred
    financing costs payable to the lenders in connection with our
    new credit facility, is repaid with a draw on our new revolver
    of $54.3 million.
(8)
The pro forma balance sheet reflects a pro forma adjustment to
    record a deferred tax liability of $22.0 million due to the
    excess of financial accounting basis for the assets of the
    acquired companies over their tax basis. The pro forma balance
    sheet also reflects an adjustment to reverse previously recorded
    valuation allowance of $22.0 million due to changes in the
    estimate of the future realizability of our existing deferred
    tax assets, which offsets the net deferred tax liability
    recorded on the acquisition. The change in the estimate of the
    future realizability of the existing deferred tax assets is
    based upon the expectation of future taxable income from the
    reversal of the acquired deferred tax liability. Upon completion
    of the Nicewonder Acquisition, we will complete a comprehensive
    analysis of the recoverability of our deferred tax assets, and
    such analysis may result in adjustments to the valuation
    allowance with an offsetting adjustment to goodwill.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or
    loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
    outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings per share is
    computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average
    number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock
    equivalents outstanding during the periods. Common stock
    equivalents include the number of shares issuable on exercise of
    outstanding options less the number of shares that could have
    been purchased with the proceeds from the exercise of the
    options based on the average price of common stock during the
    period.
We have disclosed for informational purposes two sets of
    earnings per share data:
Net Income (Loss) Per Share, as Adjusted
The first set of earnings per share data is labeled "net
    income (loss) per share, as adjusted." The numerator for
    purposes of computing basic and diluted net income (loss) per
    share, as adjusted, includes the reported net income (loss) and
    a pro forma adjustment for income taxes to reflect the pro forma
    income taxes for ANR Fund IX Holdings, L.P.'s portion
    of reported pre-tax income (loss), which would have been
    recorded if the issuance of the shares of common stock received
    by the First Reserve Stockholders in exchange for their
    ownership in ANR Holdings in connection with the Internal
    Restructuring had occurred as of January 1, 2003. For
    purposes of the computation of basic and diluted net income
    (loss) per share, as adjusted, the pro forma adjustment for
    income taxes only applies to the percentage interest owned by
    ANR Fund IX Holding, L.P., the non-taxable First Reserve
    Stockholder. No pro forma adjustment for income taxes is
    required for the percentage interest owned by Alpha NR Holding,
    Inc., the taxable First Reserve Stockholder, because income
    taxes have already been recorded in the historical results of
    operations. Furthermore, no pro forma adjustment to reported net
    income (loss) is necessary subsequent to February 11, 2005
    because Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. is subject to income taxes.
The denominator for purposes of computing basic net income
    (loss) per share, as adjusted, reflects the retroactive impact
    of the common shares received by the First Reserve Stockholders
    in exchange for their ownership in ANR Holdings in connection
    with the Internal Restructuring on a weighted-average
    outstanding share basis as being outstanding as of
    January 1, 2003. The common shares issued to the minority
    interest owners of ANR Holdings in connection with the Internal
    Restructuring, including the immediately vested shares granted
    to management, have been reflected as being outstanding as of
    February 11, 2005 for purposes of computing the basic net
    income (loss) per share, as adjusted. The unvested shares
    granted to management on February 11, 2005 that vest
    monthly over the two-year period from January 1, 2005 to
    December 31, 2006 are included in the
55
Table of Contents
basic net income (loss) per share, as adjusted, computation as
    they vest on a weighted-average outstanding share basis starting
    on February 11, 2005. The 33,925,000 new shares issued in
    connection with the IPO have been reflected as being outstanding
    since February 14, 2005, the date of the IPO, for purposes
    of computing the basic net income (loss) per share, as adjusted.
The unvested shares issued to management are considered options
    for purposes of computing diluted net income (loss) per share,
    as adjusted. Therefore, for diluted purposes, all remaining
    unvested shares granted to management are added to the
    denominator subsequent to February 11, 2005 using the
    treasury stock method, if the effect is dilutive. In addition,
    the treasury stock method is used for outstanding stock options,
    if dilutive, beginning with the November 10, 2004 grant of
    options to management to purchase units in Alpha Coal Management
    that were automatically converted into options to purchase up to
    596,985 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of
    $12.73 per share.
The computations of basic and diluted net income (loss) per
    share, as adjusted, are set forth below:

Pro Forma Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The second set of earnings per share data is labeled "pro
    forma net income (loss) per share." The numerator for
    purposes of computing basic and diluted pro forma net income
    (loss) per share is based on "net income, as adjusted"
    (as calculated above) and pro forma adjustments to reflect the
    impact of:
(i)
the add back of minority interest for each period presented,
    because the ownership held by the minority interest owners of
    ANR Holdings were exchanged for shares of our common stock as
    part of the Internal Restructuring;
(ii)
the additional income taxes that would have been incurred by us
    on the minority interest added back; and
(iii)
the issuance of $175,000 principal amount of 10% senior
    notes due 2012 by our subsidiaries Alpha Natural Resources, LLC
    and Alpha Natural Resources Capital Corp. and the entry by Alpha
    Natural Resources, LLC into a $175,000 credit facility in May
    2004, in connection with the 2004 Financings, as if these
    transactions had occurred on January 1, 2003.
No pro forma adjustment to reported net income (loss) is
    necessary subsequent to February 11, 2005.
56
Table of Contents
The denominator for purposes of computing basic pro forma net
    income (loss) per share reflects:
(i)
the retroactive impact of the common shares received by the
    First Reserve Stockholders in exchange for their ownership in
    ANR Holdings in connection with the Internal Restructuring on a
    weighted-average outstanding share basis as being outstanding as
    of January 1, 2003;
(ii)
the retroactive impact of the common shares issued to the
    minority interest owners of ANR Holdings in connection with the
    Internal Restructuring, including the immediately vested shares
    granted to management, on a weighted-average outstanding share
    basis as being outstanding as of January 1, 2003;
(iii)
the unvested shares granted to management that vest over the
    two-year period from January 1, 2005 to December 31,
    2006, which have been included in the basic computation on a
    weighted-average outstanding share basis based on the monthly
    vesting beginning as of January 1, 2005; and
(iv)
the retroactive impact of the 33,925,000 new shares issued in
    connection with the IPO on a weighted-average outstanding share
    basis as being outstanding as of January 1, 2003 since 100%
    of the net proceeds from the IPO was distributed to the previous
    owners of ANR Holdings.
The unvested shares issued to management are considered options
    for purposes of computing diluted pro forma net income (loss)
    per share. Therefore, for diluted purposes, all remaining
    unvested shares granted to management would be added to the
    denominator as of January 1, 2003 using the treasury stock
    method, if the effect is dilutive. In addition, the treasury
    stock method would be used for outstanding stock options, if
    dilutive, beginning with the November 10, 2004 grant of
    options to management to purchase units in Alpha Coal Management
    that were automatically converted into options to purchase up to
    596,985 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion and analysis in
conjunction with our financial statements and related notes, our
"Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information," and our
"Selected Historical Financial Data" included
elsewhere in this prospectus. The historical financial
information discussed below for periods prior to the completion
of our Internal Restructuring on February 11, 2005, is for
ANR Fund IX Holdings, L.P. and Alpha NR Holding, Inc. and
subsidiaries, which prior to the completion of our Internal
Restructuring were the owners of a majority of the membership
interests of ANR Holdings, our top-tier holding company, and for
Alpha NR Holding, Inc. and subsidiaries for periods from and
after the completion of our Internal Restructuring.
Overview
We produce, process and sell steam and metallurgical coal from
seven regional business units, which, as of September 15,
2005, are supported by 44 active underground mines, 20 active
surface mines and 11 preparation plants located throughout
Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania. We also
sell coal produced by others, the majority of which we process
and/or blend with coal produced from our mines prior to resale,
providing us with a higher overall margin for the blended
product than if we had sold the coals separately. For the first
six months of June 30, 2005 and in 2004, sales of steam
coal accounted for approximately 58% and 63%, respectively, of
our coal sales volume during such periods. Sales of
metallurgical coal, which generally sells at a premium over
steam coal, accounted for approximately 42% and 37%,
respectively, of our coal sales volume during such periods. Our
sales of steam coal during 2004 and the first six months of 2005
were made primarily to large utilities and industrial customers
in the Eastern region of the United States, and our sales of
metallurgical coal were made primarily to steel companies in the
Northeastern and Midwestern regions of the United States and in
several countries in Europe, Asia and South America.
Approximately 47% of our sales revenue in the first six months
of 2005 and in 2004 was derived from sales made outside the
United States, primarily in Japan, Canada, Brazil, Korea and
several countries in Europe.
In addition, we generate other revenues from equipment and parts
sales, equipment repair income, rentals, royalties, commissions,
coal handling, terminal and processing fees, and coal and
environmental analysis fees. We also record revenue for freight
and handling charges incurred in delivering coal to our
customers, which we treat as being reimbursed by our customers.
However, these freight and handling revenues are offset by
equivalent freight and handling costs and do not contribute to
our profitability.
Our business is seasonal, with operating results varying from
quarter to quarter. We generally experience lower sales and
hence build coal inventory during the winter months primarily
due to the freezing of lakes that we use to transport coal to
some of our customers.
Our primary expenses are for wages and benefits, supply costs,
repair and maintenance expenditures, cost of purchased coal,
royalties, freight and handling costs, and taxes incurred in
selling our coal. Historically, our cost of coal sales per ton
is lower for sales of our produced and processed coal than for
sales of purchased coal that we do not process prior to resale.
We have one reportable segment, Coal Operations, which includes
all of our revenues and costs from coal production and sales,
freight and handling, rentals, commissions and coal handling and
processing operations. We report the revenues and costs from
rentals, commissions and coal handling and processing operations
in our other revenues and cost of other revenues, respectively.
Predecessor and 2003 Acquisitions.
On December 13,
2002, we acquired our Predecessor, the majority of the Virginia
coal operations of Pittston Coal Company, from The Brink's
Company (formerly known as The Pittston Company), for
$62.9 million. On January 31, 2003, we acquired
Coastal Coal Company for $67.8 million. In connection with
our acquisition of Coastal Coal Company, we acquired an
overriding royalty interest in certain properties located in
Virginia and West Virginia owned by El Paso CPG Company for
$11.0 million in cash. Effective February 1, 2003, we
sold the overriding royalty interest to affiliates of Natural
Resource Partners, L.P. ("NRP") for $11.8 million
in cash. Effective April 1, 2003, we also sold
substantially all of our fee-owned Virginia mineral properties
to NRP for approximately $53.6 million in cash in a
sale/leaseback transaction. On March 11, 2003, we acquired
AMCI for $121.3 million and on November 17, 2003, we
acquired the assets of Mears for $38.0 million in cash. We
refer to the acquisitions of Coastal Coal Company, AMCI and
Mears, collectively, as the "2003 Acquisitions."

Internal Restructuring and Our Initial Public Offering.
On February 11, 2005, we completed a series of transactions
in connection with the Internal Restructuring for the purpose of
transitioning our top-tier holding company from a limited
liability company to a corporation, and on February 18,
2005, we completed the initial public offering of our common
stock. Further information regarding our Internal Restructuring
and our initial public offering can be found in note 1 to
our combined financial statements included in this prospectus.
As a result of our initial public offering and our Internal
Restructuring, we have incurred during the period after the
initial public offering and Internal Restructuring and will
continue to incur additional expenses that we have not incurred
in prior periods, including expenses associated with compliance
with corporate governance and periodic financial reporting
requirements for public companies. Moreover, all of our income
is now subject to income tax and therefore the effective tax
rates reflected in our financial statements for periods prior to
the Internal Restructuring are not indicative of our effective
tax rates after our Internal Restructuring.
As part of our Internal Restructuring, our executive officers
and certain other key employees exchanged their interests in ANR
Holdings for shares of our common stock and the right to
participate in a distribution of the proceeds we received from
the underwriters as a result of the underwriters' exercise
of their over-allotment option in connection with the initial
public offering. As a result, we recorded stock-based
compensation expense equal to the fair value of the unrestricted
shares issued and distributions paid in the amount of
$39.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005.
In addition, as a result of the conversion of outstanding
options held by members of our management to purchase units of
Alpha Coal Management into the ACM Converted Options, we
recorded stock-based compensation of $0.4 million in the
first six months of 2005. The aggregate amount of stock-based
compensation expense and stock-based compensation we recorded in
the first six months of 2005 was $39.8 million, equal to
the $39.4 million of expense associated with distributions
paid and the vested portions of shares issued in the Internal
Restructuring and amortization expense from the unvested
portions of shares issued in the Internal Restructuring, and
$0.4 million of amortization expense from the ACM Converted
Options. In addition, we had deferred stock-based compensation
at June 30, 2005 of $22.0 million, including
$19.2 million and $2.8 million related to our Internal
Restructuring and the ACM Converted Options, respectively, that
we will record as non-cash stock-based compensation expense over
the remaining term of the applicable two-year and five-year
vesting periods, respectively, thereby reducing our earnings in
those periods.
In connection with our Internal Restructuring, we assumed the
obligation of ANR Holdings to make distributions to
(1) affiliates of AMCI in an aggregate amount of
$6.0 million, representing the approximate incremental tax
resulting from the recognition of additional tax liability
resulting from our Internal Restructuring, and (2) First
Reserve Fund IX, L.P. in an aggregate amount of
approximately $4.5 million, representing the approximate
value of tax attributes conveyed as a result of the Internal
Restructuring (collectively, the "Tax Distributions").
The Tax Distributions to affiliates of AMCI are payable in five
equal installments on the dates for which estimated income tax
payments are due in each of April 2005, June 2005, September
2005, January 2006 and April 2006. The first three of these
payments were made on April 15, 2005, June 15, 2005,
and September 15, 2005, in the amount of $1.2 million
each in cash. The Tax Distributions to First Reserve
Fund IX, L.P. will be paid in three installments of
approximately $2.1 million, $2.1 million and
$0.3 million on December 15, 2007, 2008 and 2009,
respectively. We will pay the Tax Distributions in cash or, to
the extent our subsidiaries are not permitted by the terms of
our credit facility or the indenture governing our senior notes
to distribute cash to us to pay the Tax Distributions, in shares
of our common stock.
NKC Disposition.
On April 14, 2005, we sold the
assets of NKC to an unrelated third party for cash in the amount
of $4.4 million, plus an amount in cash equal to the fair
market value of NKC's coal inventory, and the assumption by
the buyer of certain liabilities of NKC. For the six months
ended June 30, 2005, NKC contributed revenues of
$4.5 million, an after-tax and minority interest loss of
$0.2 million on 0.1 million tons of steam coal sold.
In connection with the closing of the transaction, National King
Coal, LLC was renamed NatCoal LLC, and Gallup Transportation and
Transloading Company, LLC was renamed GTTC LLC. Giving effect to
this disposition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2005,
our revenues would have been reduced by $4.5 million and
our net income would have increased by $0.2 million. We
recorded a gain on this sale of $0.7 million and are
reporting NKC as discontinued operations for all periods
presented herein. Our historical financial statements have been
restated to report the disposition of NKC as discontinued
operations and the components of the operating results included
in discontinued operations are shown in footnote 30 to our
consolidated financial statements and footnote 11 to our
condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere
in this prospectus.
Nicewonder Acquisition and 2005 Financing.
On
September 23, 2005, we entered into agreements to acquire
certain privately held coal reserves and operations of the
Nicewonder Coal Group in southern West Virginia and southwestern
59
Table of Contents
Virginia. Pursuant to the agreements and subject to the
satisfaction or waiver of the conditions therein, we have agreed
to purchase the outstanding capital stock of White Flame Energy,
Inc., Twin Star Mining, Inc. and Nicewonder Contracting, Inc.,
the equity interests of Powers Shop, LLC and Buchanan Energy,
LLC and substantially all of the assets of Mate Creek Energy of
W. Va., Inc. and Virginia Energy Company, and the business of
Premium Energy, Inc. We have agreed to pay an aggregate purchase
price of $316.2 million for the Nicewonder Coal Group,
including $35.2 million in cash, $221.0 million in
promissory installment notes of one of our indirect, wholly
owned subsidiaries, and the issuance a number of shares of our
common stock having a fair market value of approximately
$60.0 million, based on the weighted average trading price
of our common stock during the 20-day trading period immediately
prior to the closing, subject to certain adjustments. The
purchase price is subject to certain working capital and other
adjustments. Closing of the Nicewonder Acquisition is
anticipated to occur in late October 2005 and is subject to
certain conditions set forth in the acquisition agreements,
including securing financing, receiving necessary regulatory
approvals, entering into definitive agreements with certain
customers of the Nicewonder Coal Group, receiving certain third
party consents and other customary conditions.
Also on September 23, 2005, in connection with our planned
acquisition of the Nicewonder Coal Group, we entered into a
commitment letter with certain lenders with respect to the 2005
Financing, a new $500.0 million credit facility consisting
of a $250.0 term loan facility and a $250.0 revolving credit
facility. We plan to use the net proceeds of the term loan
facility and a portion of the proceeds from drawings under the
revolving credit facility to finance the Nicewonder Acquisition
and to refinance our existing $175.0 million credit
facility. The closing of the 2005 Financing is subject to the
closing of the Nicewonder Acquisition and other customary
conditions.
As a result of the Nicewonder Acquisition, based on our
preliminary estimates of the fair values and lives assigned to
the assets and liabilities acquired we expect to record
approximately $7.5 million of goodwill which will be
subject to annual impairment testing, and approximately
$306.2 million of property plant and equipment and
intangibles that will be depreciated over the useful life of the
assets, resulting in approximately $51.0 million of
additional depreciation, depletion and amortization expense per
year for the approximately five-year average useful life of the
property, plant and equipment and intangibles. After the closing
of the acquisition, we will complete an evaluation of the fair
values and the lives of the assets. Fair value adjustments
reflected in the pro forma financial statements included in our
"Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information" elsewhere
in this prospectus may be subject to material revisions and
adjustments pending finalization of the evaluation. We expect
that our average cost of coal sales per ton including the
Nicewonder Coal Group operations will be lower than it would be
without the Nicewonder Coal Group operations, because all of the
Nicewonder Coal Group mining operations are surface mines, which
historically have a lower cost of coal sales per ton than
underground mining operations. We also expect that our average
coal sales realization per ton including the Nicewonder Coal
Group operations will be lower than it would be without the
Nicewonder Coal Group operations, because our existing
operations market a higher percentage of our produced tons as
higher-priced metallurgical coal than the Nicewonder Coal Group
operations. As a result of the Nicewonder Acquisition and the
2005 Financing, we expect to incur additional debt and to incur
increased interest expense. If the Nicewonder Acquisition and
2005 Financing had occurred on January 1, 2004, we would
have incurred additional interest expense of $13.6 million
and $6.0 million during the year ended December 31,
2004 and the six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively.
On a pro forma basis as if the 2004 Financings, Internal
Restructuring, IPO and the anticipated Nicewonder Acquisition
and 2005 Financing had each occurred on January 1, 2004,
our revenues would have been $1,397.3 million and
$828.0 million and our income from continuing operations
would have been $15.8 million and $3.5 million,
respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2004 and the
six months ended June 30, 2005.
Coal Pricing Trends and Uncertainties.
During 2004 and
the six months ended June 30, 2005, prices for our coal
increased significantly due to a combination of conditions in
the United States and internationally, including an improving
U.S. economy and robust economic growth in Asia, relatively
low customer stockpiles, limited availability of high-quality
coal from competing producers in Central Appalachia, capacity
constraints of U.S. nuclear-powered electricity generators,
high current and forward prices for natural gas and oil, and
increased international demand for U.S. coal. This strong
coal pricing environment has contributed to our growth in
revenues during 2004 and the six months ended June 30,
2005. While our outlook on coal pricing remains positive as
noted below under "— Outlook," future coal
prices are subject to factors beyond our control and we cannot
predict whether and for how long this strong coal pricing
environment will continue. As of October 6, 2005,
approximately 20% of our planned 2006 production, 42% of the
Nicewonder Coal Group's planned 2006 production, 53% of our
planned 2007 production and 86% of the Nicewonder Coal
Group's planned production for 2007 was
60
Table of Contents
uncommitted and was not yet priced. For the tons for which we
have firm commitments in 2006, the average price for steam coal
is $44.87 per ton and the average price for metallurgical
coal is $72.96 per ton.
During 2004 and the first six months of 2005, we experienced
increased costs for purchased coal which have risen with coal
prices generally, and increased operating costs for steel
manufactured equipment and supplies, employee wages and salaries
and contract mining and trucking. We also experienced
disruptions in railroad service during the second half of 2004
and the first six months of 2005, which caused delays in
delivering products to customers and increased our internal coal
handling costs at our operations. We currently expect
disruptions in railroad service to continue through the second
half of 2005. Conditions affecting railroad service are subject
to factors beyond our control and we cannot predict whether and
for how long these railroad-related costs will continue to
increase in the future.
We experienced a tight market for supplies of mining and
processing equipment and parts during 2004 and the first six
months of 2005, due to increased demand by coal producers
attempting to increase production in response to the strong
market demand for coal. Although we are attempting to obtain
adequate supplies of mining and processing equipment and parts
to meet our production forecasts, continued limited availability
of equipment and parts could prevent us from meeting those
forecasts. The supply of mining and processing equipment and
parts is subject to factors beyond our control and we cannot
predict whether and for how long this supply market will remain
limited.
We are also experiencing a tight market for skilled mining
employees, due to increased demand by coal producers attempting
to increase production in response to the strong market demand
for coal, and demographic changes as existing miners in
Appalachia retire at a faster rate than new miners are added to
the Appalachian mining workforce. Although we have initiated
training programs to create new skilled miners and raise the
skill levels of existing miners, continued limited availability
of skilled miners could prevent us from being able to meet our
production and sales forecasts. The supply of skilled mining
employees is subject to factors beyond our control and we cannot
predict whether and for how long this employee market will
remain limited.
In January 2005, the state of West Virginia passed legislation
to increase the severance tax on coal by $0.56 per ton
effective December 1, 2005. The estimated impact for this
increased severance tax in 2005 is approximately
$0.3 million and we estimate an annual impact beginning in
2006 of approximately $4.0 million based on current
operating levels. A portion of this increase may be recoupable
from customers based on allowances in some sales contracts for
changes in laws.
The U.S. dollar has weakened over the last two years, which
has made U.S. coal relatively less expensive and,
therefore, more competitive in foreign markets. We believe that
the weakening of the U.S. dollar has enabled us to export
more metallurgical coal at higher prices than would otherwise
have been the case during 2003 and 2004, and that this trend
contributed to our growth in revenues during those periods. The
U.S. dollar has strengthened against most major currencies
since the beginning of 2005, and we believe that a sustained
strengthening of the U.S. dollar would adversely affect our
exports. Changes in currency conversion rates are subject to
factors beyond our control and we cannot predict whether and for
how long the dollar will weaken or strengthen against foreign
currencies during any particular period. We believe that a
strengthening of the U.S. dollar would adversely affect our
exports.
For additional information regarding some of the risks and
uncertainties that affect our business, see "Risks
Factors — Risks Related to our Business."
Outlook
While our business is subject to the general risks of the coal
industry and specific individual risks, we believe that the
outlook for coal markets remains positive worldwide, assuming
continued growth in the U.S., China, Pacific Rim, Europe and
other industrialized economies that are increasing coal demand
for electricity generation and steelmaking. Published indices
show improved year-over-year coal prices in most U.S. and global
coal markets, and worldwide coal supply/demand fundamentals
remain tight due to high market demand, transportation
constraints and production difficulties in most countries.
Metallurgical coal is generally selling at a significant premium
to steam coal, and we expect that pricing relationship to
continue based on the same assumptions made above.
For 2005, we are targeting annual production of 20 million
to 22 million tons and total sales volume of
25 million to 26 million tons, including
post-acquisition production and sales by the Nicewonder Coal
Group operations in 2005. As of October 6, 2005,
approximately 20% of our planned 2006 production, 42% of the
Nicewonder Coal Group's planned 2006
61
Table of Contents
production, 53% of our planned 2007 production and 86% of the
Nicewonder Coal Group's planned production for 2007 was
uncommitted and was not yet priced.
We have sales commitments with utilities for approximately
5.0 million tons of coal that we believe are priced well
below market and are expected to be re-priced this year and
next. We are currently engaged in negotiations with these
utilities and we currently expect to have about 2.5 million
tons that will be re-priced in 2006 at current market prices.
However, the utilities are not required to renew their contracts
with us at higher prices or at all, and we cannot be certain
that we will be able to renew these contracts at higher prices,
or at all, within the time period specified above.
We anticipate continued challenges with railroad service
throughout the remainder of this year. We are working with our
customers and the railroads in an effort to address these issues
in a timely manner.
Based on current market conditions in the steam and
metallurgical coal markets, we anticipate increasing the
proportion of our metallurgical coal sales that are committed
under long-term contracts as compared to prior years and
continuing to market portions of our high quality steam coal
production as metallurgical coal. We plan to focus on organic
growth by continuing to develop our existing reserves. In
addition, we also plan to evaluate attractively priced
acquisitions that create potential synergies with our existing
operations.
See "Risk Factors" for a discussion of other factors
that could affect us in the future.
Results of Operations
For purposes of the following discussion and analysis of our
operating results, the revenues and costs and expenses of ANR
Fund IX Holdings, L.P. and Alpha NR Holding, Inc. and
subsidiaries for the period from December 14, 2002 to
December 31, 2002 have been combined with the revenues and
costs and expenses of our Predecessor for the period from
January 1, 2002 to December 13, 2002, as reflected in
the table below. We believe this presentation facilitates the
ability of the reader to more meaningfully compare our revenues,
costs and expenses in 2002 with other periods. Our operating
results from and after December 14, 2002, including our
recorded depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, are
not comparable to the Predecessor Periods as a result of the
application of purchase accounting. The combining of the
Predecessor and successor accounting periods in the year ended
December 31, 2002 is not permitted by U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.

for the Predecessor Periods are not comparable to the results of
operations for the periods from and after December 14,
2002. In addition, the results of operations for the year ended

period in 2003 due to the 2003 Acquisitions.
Six months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to the Six
    months Ended June 30, 2004
Summary
For the six months ended June 30, 2005, our total revenues
were $729.8 million compared to $582.6 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2004, an increase of
$147.2 million. Net income decreased from
$13.5 million in the 2004 period to $0.6 million for
the 2005 period. Included in net income for the six months ended
June 30, 2005 was a stock-based compensation charge in the
amount of $39.8 million ($38.0 million after-tax) and
gains associated with the settlement of a funded reclamation
bonding program in the first quarter of 2005 and the sale of NKC
totaling $2.5 million ($1.8 million after-tax).
EBITDA, as adjusted and as reconciled to our net income or loss
in the table above, was $56.8 million in the first half of
2005, including the non-cash portion of the stock-based
compensation charge in the amount of $32.3 million
63
Table of Contents
and was $7.8 million less than the same period in 2004. Our
pro forma earnings per diluted share were $0.04 for the first
half 2005, a $0.28 per share decrease over pro forma
earnings per share for the 2004 period (see footnote 2 in
our financial statements included herein). The combination of
the stock-based compensation charge and the gains discussed
above had a negative $0.59 effect on our pro forma earnings per
share for the first half of 2005.
We sold 12.2 million tons of coal during the first half of
2005, 0.4 million less than the comparable period in 2004.
Coal margin increased from 17.2% in 2004 to 18.4% in 2005. Coal
margin per ton was $9.61 in the six months ended June 30,
2005, a 39% increase from the first half of 2004.

Coal Revenues.
Coal revenues increased by
$131.4 million during the six months ended June 30,
2005 over the comparable period of 2004, or 26%, mainly driven
by a 30% increase in coal sales realization per ton from
$40.21 per ton in the first half of 2004 to $52.13 per
ton in the comparable 2005 period. Our met coal realization
increased from $55.27 per ton in the six months ended
June 30, 2004, to $70.37 per ton in the 2005 six month
period, or 27%, and steam coal realization per ton increased
from $31.01 to $39.01 or 26%. Met coal sales accounted for 42%
of our coal sales volume in the six months ended June 30,
2005 compared to 38% in the year ago period. Total tons sold
during the first half of 2005 were 12.2 million, including
5.1 million tons of met coal and 7.1 million of steam
coal. Sales for the comparable period last year were
12.6 million tons of which 4.8 million were met coal
and 7.8 million were steam coal. This change in the mix of
met and steam coal tons sold reflects our ability to interchange
certain coals as part of our effort to maximize realizations and
coal margins.
Freight and Handling Revenues.
Freight and handling
revenues increased by $14.7 million during the six months
ended June 30, 2005 over the year ago period mainly due to
higher freight rates. However, these revenues are offset by
equivalent costs and do not contribute to our profitability.
Other Revenues.
Other revenues increased by
$1.1 million during the first half of this year from the
corresponding period last year mainly due to higher revenues
from third party coal processing fees that were partially offset
by a decrease in revenues associated with coal sales commissions.

Cost of Coal Sales:
Our cost of coal sales increased by
$101.2 million, or $9.24 per ton, from
$418.6 million, or $33.28 per ton, in the six months
ended June 30, 2004 to $519.8 million, or
$42.52 per ton, in the 2005 comparable period. Our cost of
sales per ton of our produced and processed coal was
$38.78 per ton in the six months ended June 30, 2005
as compared to $31.12 per ton in the comparable period in
2004. This increase is attributable to increased costs for
steel-related mine supplies, added preparation costs and lower
yields involved in increasing the proportion of our sales made
to the metallurgical markets, higher trucking costs, and
increased variable sales-related costs, such as royalties and
severance taxes. Also, our cost for contract miner services and
coal purchased and processed at our facilities increased 31% in
the current period as compared to the prior year period. The
cost of sales per ton of our purchased coal was $58.09 per
ton in the first half of 2005, and $40.43 per ton for the
corresponding period of 2004. This $17.66 per ton increase
in costs is due to the general increase in coal prices since
last year and the change in the mix of coal qualities purchased.
Of these purchased tons approximately 65% was blended with our
produced and processed tons prior to resale.
Freight and Handling Costs.
Freight and handling costs
increased by $14.7 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2005 over the year ago period due to higher
freight rates. We paid these freight and handling costs which we
treat as being reimbursed by our customers. These costs are
offset by an equivalent amount of freight and handling revenues.
Cost of Other Revenues.
Our cost of other revenues
increased by 25% or $2.0 million in the first half of 2005
when compared to the similar period in 2004 due to higher coal
processing costs due to increased volumes. The margin (other
revenues less cost of other revenues) on other revenues
decreased by $1.0 million in the first half of 2005 when
compared to the first six months of 2004 due mainly to the
decrease in sales commission revenues discussed above.
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization.
DD&A
increased $4.6 million, or 18%, to $29.2 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same
period in 2004 due mainly to capital additions. DD&A per ton
of produced and processed coal sold increased from
$2.56 per ton for the six months ended June 30, 2004
to $2.97 per ton in the same period of 2005.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.
Our
SG&A expenses increased by $37.1 million during the
first six months of 2005 over the corresponding period last
year. Excluding our stock-based compensation charge of
$39.8 million incurred in the first half of 2005, these
costs decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2005 by
$2.7 million from the comparable period last year. Included
in the first six months of 2004 expenses were incentive bonuses
in the total amount of $4.4 million and a $3.1 million
payment related to partial termination of a coal supply
agreement. Included in this year's
65
Table of Contents
first six months are higher professional fees related to a
strategic sourcing initiative, our Sarbanes-Oxley compliance
project and other expenses related to being a public company.
Interest Expense.
Interest expense increased from
$8.8 million to $12.8 million during the
six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same
period in 2004. A charge related to the write-off of
$2.8 million of the unamortized portion of deferred loan
costs associated with our prior credit facility in the 2004
period was more than offset by the additional interest expense
we incurred on our 10% senior notes in the 2005 period.
Interest Income.
Interest income increased by
$0.4 million in the six months ended June 30,
2005 over the six months ended June 30, 2004. This
increase was attributable to our $10.0 million loan to a
coal supplier which we made in June 2004.
Income Tax Expense:
Our provision for income taxes
related to continuing operations increased by $8.1 million
from $3.5 million in the prior year's first half to
$11.6 million in this year's first six months.
Because the condensed consolidated statements of operations for
the six months ended June 30, 2005 include activity both
prior to and after the Internal Restructuring and IPO, the total
income tax provision is the sum of the provisions for the pre-
and post-restructuring periods.
Prior to February 12, 2005, the minority interest owners
and ANR Fund IX Holdings, L.P. owned interests in ANR
Holdings, a limited liability company and pass-through entity
for income tax purposes. As a pass-through entity, ANR Holdings
provides information returns reflecting the allocated income
(loss) to the minority interest owners and ANR Fund IX
Holdings, L.P based upon their respective ownership percentage
and certain special allocations as provided by the limited
liability company agreement and the Internal Revenue Code. The
income tax consequences of the income (loss) allocated to these
owners for the period from January 1, 2005 to
February 11, 2005 and from January 1, 2004 to
June 30, 2004 is not reflected in the financial statements.
For these periods, only the income tax expense associated with
Alpha NR Holding, Inc., a taxable entity, is included. The
primary source of the income tax impact is derived from the
allocated income (loss) from ANR Holdings, Alpha Natural
Resources, LLC and its operating subsidiaries, all of which are
pass-through entities for tax purposes. Subsequent to the
Internal Restructuring and IPO, all of the income of ANR
Holdings is taxed to us.
The effective tax rate of 75.7% for the first half of 2005 is
greater than the federal statutory rate of 35% due primarily to
the majority of the stock-based compensation charge associated
with the issuance of common stock to management in connection
with the Internal Restructuring and IPO not being deductible for
tax purposes. The increase in expected income tax expense
related to the stock-based compensation charge is offset in part
by the tax benefits associated with percentage depletion, the
extraterritorial income exclusion, and taxes not being provided
for on the minority interest and pass-through entity
owners' respective shares for the period prior to the
Internal Restructuring. As $33.0 million of the stock-based
compensation charge was identified as a significant unusual item
in the first quarter of 2005, the tax effect of the
$33.0 million expense (no tax benefit) was accounted for in
that period and excluded from the estimated annual effective tax
rate of approximately 26%. The Company's effective tax rate
for the interim periods is applied to pre-tax income exclusive
of the $33.0 million stock-based compensation charge.
Because the majority of the 2005 stock-based compensation was
recorded in the first quarter, the first half of 2005 effective
tax rate is not indicative of the effective tax rate for the
remainder of 2005. We estimate that exclusive of the stock-based
compensation charge (both the $33.0 million significant
unusual portion and the recurring portion for the full year of
2005), our 2005 effective tax rate would be approximately 23.5%,
which is lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% due to the
benefits of percentage depletion and a combination of the
extraterritorial income exclusion and deduction for domestic
production activities enacted as part of the American Jobs
Creation Act of 2004, partially offset by state income taxes and
valuation allowances. Actual pre-tax income for the year will
have an impact on the effective tax rates just noted and
therefore our estimate of the rates may change in subsequent
quarters.
Our effective tax rate of 75.7% for the first half of 2005 is
much higher compared to the first half of 2004 rate of 11%
primarily due to the significant stock-based compensation charge
for 2005 that did not exist in 2004. In addition, the portion of
pre-tax income related to the minority interest and pass-through
entity owners not tax affected is greater in the first half of
2004, thereby reducing the effective rate more in that period of
2004 compared to the same period in 2005.

Year Ended December 31, 2004 Compared to Year Ended
    December 31, 2003
Summary
For the year ended December 31, 2004, we recorded revenues
of $1,252.7 million compared to $781.8 million for the
year ended December 31, 2003, an increase of
$470.9 million over the previous year. Net income increased
from $2.3 million in 2003 to $20.0 million for 2004
and operating income increased $57.1 million to
$69.1 million. Tons sold increased from 21.6 million
tons in 2003 to 25.3 million tons in 2004 mainly due to the
impact of our 2003 Acquisitions. Coal margin, which we define as
coal revenues less cost of coal sales, divided by coal revenues,
increased from 9.8% in 2003 to 14.8% in 2004.

Coal Revenues.
Coal revenues increased for the year ended
December 31, 2004 by $385.1 million or 55%, to
$1,079.7 million, as compared to the year ended
December 31, 2003. This increase was due to a
$10.49 per ton increase in the average sales price of our
coal and the sale of 3.7 million additional tons over the
comparable period last year. The increase in the average sales
price of our coal was due to the general increase in coal prices
during the period and to our ability to take advantage of the
exceptionally high metallurgical coal sale prices by processing
and marketing as metallurgical coal some coal qualities that
would traditionally have been marketed as steam coal.
Approximately 63% and 37% of our tons sold during 2004 were
steam coal and metallurgical coal, respectively, as compared to
71% and 29% during the same period in 2003. Our tons sold in
2004 increased by 3.7 million, or 17%, to
25.3 million, primarily due to the effect of our 2003
Acquisitions, which provided approximately 3.4 million
additional tons.
Freight and Handling Revenues.
Freight and handling
revenues increased to $141.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 2004, an increase of $67.3 million
compared to the year ended December 31, 2003 due to an
increase of 3.4 million tons of export shipments. However,
these revenues are offset by equivalent costs and do not
contribute to our profitability.
Other Revenues.
Other revenues increased for the year
ended December 31, 2004 by $18.4 million, or 137%, to
$31.9 million, as compared to the same period for 2003
primarily due to higher equipment and parts sales and equipment
repairs in the amount of $8.4 million, an increase in coal
handling and processing fees of $6.1 million, higher sales
commissions of $3.4 million, and trucking revenue of
$0.5 million. Other revenues for 2004 include a gain of
$1.5 million on the partial satisfaction of an obligation
to reclaim certain properties retained by the seller in the
Pittston acquisition. Other revenues attributable to our Coal
Operations segment were $13.8 million in 2004 and
$3.4 million in 2003.

Cost of Coal Sales.
For the year ended December 31,
2004, our cost of coal sales, which excludes charges for
depreciation, depletion and amortization and includes gain/loss
on sale of fixed assets, increased $294.1 million, or 47%,
to $920.4 million compared to the year ended
December 31, 2003. Our cost of coal sales increased as a
result of added costs involved in increasing the proportion of
our sales made to the metallurgical markets, such as higher
preparation and trucking costs, increased prices for
steel-related mine supplies, contract mining services, higher
prices for purchased coal, and increased variable sales-related
costs, such as royalties and severance taxes. Approximately
$80.0 million of the increase in the cost of coal sales was
due to the 2003 Acquisitions which provided approximately 87% of
our increase in tons sold. The average cost per ton sold
increased 25% from $28.98 per ton in 2003 to
$36.34 per ton in 2004. Our cost of coal sales as a
percentage of coal revenues decreased from 90% in 2003 to 85% in
2004. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 our
average cost per ton for our produced and processed coal sales
was $33.04 and $28.34, respectively, and our average cost per
ton for coal that we purchased from third parties and resold
without processing was $45.21 and $31.91, respectively. Cost of
coal sales in 2004 included $2.0 million of incentive bonus
payments and accruals.
Freight and Handling Costs.
Freight and handling costs
increased $67.3 million to $141.1 million during 2004
as compared to 2003, mainly due to a 3.4 million ton
increase in export shipments where we paid the freight and
handling costs which we treated as being reimbursed by the
customer. These costs were offset by an equivalent amount of
freight and handling revenue.
Cost of Other Revenues.
Cost of other revenues increased
$10.5 million, or 84%, to $23.0 million for the year
ended December 31, 2004 as compared to the prior year due
to higher volumes of equipment and part sales, equipment
repairs, and processing and handling fees. Cost of equipment
sales and repairs increased $7.3 million and processing and
handling costs increased $2.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 2004 as compared to the prior year. The cost
of trucking revenues increased by $0.5 million for 2004 as
compared to the prior year. Cost of other revenues attributable
to our Coal Operations segment were $7.4 million in 2004
and $2.3 million in 2003.
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization.
Depreciation,
depletion, and amortization increased $19.9 million, or
56%, to $55.3 million for the year ended December 31,
2004 as compared to the same period of 2003 due to capital
additions during 2004, resulting in additional depreciation of
approximately $9.1 million. The remaining increase is
attributable to the impact of the 2003 Acquisitions and 2003
capital additions of $27.7 million. Depreciation, depletion
and amortization attributable to our Coal Operations segment
were $51.7 million in 2004 and $32.5 million 2003.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization per ton increased from
$1.64 per ton for the year ended December 31, 2003 to
$2.18 per ton in the same period of 2004.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased
$21.9 million, or 100%, to $43.9 million for the year
ended December 31, 2004 compared to the same period in
2003. The increase is attributed to higher staffing levels and
resulting salaries, wages and benefits of approximately
$4.7 million, increased incentive bonus payments and
accruals in the amount of $6.0 million, coal contract
buyouts of $3.3 million, increased professional fees of
approximately $3.2 million including $1.7 million
incurred in documenting, assessing, and improving our controls
and procedures due to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002, and a net increase in all other sales,
68
Table of Contents
general and administrative expenses of approximately
$4.7 million. Our selling, general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of total revenues increased from 2.8%
in 2003 to 3.5% in 2004.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $12.2 million to
$20.0 million during 2004 compared to 2003. The increase
was mainly due to the additional interest expense of
$10.8 million related to our 10% senior notes issued
in May 2004 and the write-off of deferred financing costs of
$2.8 million related to our previous credit facility.
Interest Income
Interest income increased from $0.1 million to
$0.5 million as a result of interest received on notes
receivable issued in 2004.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense increased $4.3 million to
$5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2004 as
compared to the year ended December 31, 2003. Our effective
tax rates from continuing operations for the year ended
December 31, 2004 and 2003 were 10.2% and 18.7%,
respectively. The effective tax rates are lower than the
statutory tax rate since we are not subject to tax with respect
to the portion of our income before taxes which is attributable
to ANR Fund IX Holdings, L.P.'s portion of our
earnings and the minority interest's share in the earnings
of ANR Holdings. In addition, our taxable income is reduced by
percentage depletion allowances (computed as a percentage of
coal revenue, subject to certain income limitations) and the
extraterritorial income exclusion (ETI) deduction (computed
as a percentage of exported coal revenue, subject to certain
income limitations) which reduces our effective tax rates. These
reductions in our effective tax rates are offset by the effect
of increases in our valuation allowance for deferred tax assets
of $0.6 million and $0.8 million recorded in the year
ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The
reduction in our effective tax rate in 2004 compared to 2003 is
due primarily to the ETI deduction in 2004 generated from
significant export coal revenue, a lower valuation allowance as
a percentage of pre-tax income in 2004, and a larger percentage
of minority interest in 2004 which has no income tax provision.
Year Ended December 31, 2003 Compared to Year Ended
    December 31, 2002
Summary
For the year ended December 31, 2003, revenues increased
$596.7 million to $781.8 million over the combined
revenues for our Predecessor and successor accounting periods in
the year ended December 31, 2002. Net income and operating
income for the year ended December 31, 2003 were
$2.3 million and $12.0 million, respectively. Net
income and operating income on a combined basis for 2002 are not
comparable. Tons sold increased from 4.5 million tons for
the year ended December 31, 2002 to 21.6 million tons
in 2003 mainly due to the impact of our 2003 Acquisitions. Coal
margin increased from (2.6)% in 2002 to 9.8% in 2003, mainly due
to the lower unit cost of coal sold provided by our 2003
Acquisitions.

Coal Revenues.
Coal revenues increased
$533.6 million, or 331%, to $694.6 million for the
year ended December 31, 2003, from $161.0 million for
the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase was
primarily due to the 2003 Acquisitions, which contributed an
additional 15.7 million tons sold and approximately
$505.3 million in revenues, partially offset by a reduction
in the average sales price per ton of $3.88 or
$15.0 million in revenues. Tons sold increased from
4.5 million tons in 2002 to 21.6 million tons in 2003.
The 2003 Acquisitions accounted for 16.0 million of the
17.1 million ton increase in tons sold from 2002 to 2003.
Our average sales price per ton decreased 11% from
$36.02 per ton in 2002 to $32.14 per ton in 2003,
mainly due to our lower percentage of metallurgical coal sales
in 2003 as compared to sales of our Predecessor in 2002.
Approximately 71% and 29% of our tons sold in the 2003 were
steam coal and metallurgical coal, respectively, as compared to
45% and 55% during 2002.
Freight and Handling Revenues.
Freight and handling
revenues increased $55.8 million from $18.0 million in
2002 due to increased volumes resulting from the 2003
Acquisitions, which contributed approximately $33.5 million
of the increase. An increase in overseas export tons of
approximately 1.1 million tons was responsible for most of
the remaining increase in freight and handling revenues. These
revenues were offset by equivalent costs and did not contribute
to our profitability.
Other Revenues.
Other revenues, principally equipment
repair and sales, and coal handling, terminalling and processing
fees, rents and royalties increased $7.3 million to $13.5
for 2003, mainly due to the 2003 Acquisitions, coal handling,
terminalling and processing fees in the amount of
$2.8 million and royalty income of $1.3 million. Other
revenues for 2002 consisted of equipment repair and sales
income, which increased $1.7 million in 2003. Other
revenues attributable to our Coal Operations segment were
$3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, and
we had no other revenues attributable to our Coal Operations
segment for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Cost of Coal Sales.
Our cost of coal sales increased
$461.1 million, or 279%, to $626.3 million for the
year ended December 31, 2003, from $165.2 million for
the year ended December 31, 2002. The 2003 Acquisitions
accounted for $454.7 million of the increase in our cost of
coal sales and for 93% of the 12.6 million ton increase in
our produced and processed coal sales for 2003. The average cost
per ton sold decreased 22% from $36.96 per ton in 2002 to
$28.98 per ton in 2003 as a result of increased production,
which reduced our fixed costs per ton, as well as lower costs of
coal produced from mines acquired in the 2003 Acquisitions. Our
cost of coal sales as a percentage of coal revenues decreased
from 103% in 2002 to 90% in 2003.
Freight and Handling Costs.
Freight and handling costs
increased $55.8 million to $73.8 million for the year
ended December 31, 2003 as compared to the prior period,
primarily due to increased sales volumes resulting from the 2003
Acquisitions, which contributed approximately $33.5 million
of the increase. An increase in overseas export tons of
70
Table of Contents
approximately 1.1 million tons was responsible for most of
the remaining increase in freight and handling costs. These
costs are offset by an equivalent amount of freight and handling
revenue.
Cost of Other Revenues.
Cost of other revenues increased
$4.4 million, or 54%, to $12.5 million for 2003 as
compared to 2002 as a result of the 2003 Acquisitions, in which
we acquired coal processing operations, and their related costs
of $4.3 million, as the cost for 2002 includes only those
related to equipment repair and sales income, which remained
relatively unchanged. Cost of equipment repair and sales for
2002 included a litigation settlement, therefore cost for 2003
did not increase over 2002 with the increased sales volumes.
Cost of other revenues attributable to our Coal Operations
segment were $2.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2003 and we had no cost of other revenues
attributable to our Coal Operations segment for the year ended
December 31, 2002.
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization.
Depreciation,
depletion and amortization expense for the year ended
December 31, 2003 was $35.4 million, an increase of
$28.3 million from the prior year. The increase in expense
is attributable to the 2003 Acquisitions, and the 2003 capital
additions of $27.7 million, as depreciation, depletion and
amortization expense per ton showed only a slight increase from
$1.59 per ton in 2002 to $1.64 per ton in 2003.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization attributable to our
Coal Operations segment were $32.5 million for the year
ended December 31, 2003 and $7.0 million for the year
ended December 31, 2002.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased by
$12.7 million to $21.9 million, but decreased from
$2.07 per ton sold to $1.00 per ton sold from 2002 to
2003, primarily due to a significant increase in tons sold,
partially offset by additional expenses of $2.0 million
associated with transition services provided by the selling
companies. Our selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of total revenues decreased from 5.0% in 2002 to 2.8%
in 2003.
Costs to Exit Business.
For the year ended
December 31, 2002, our Predecessor recorded a charge of
$25.3 million for a pension plan early withdrawal penalty.
The early withdrawal penalty was incurred when our Predecessor
withdrew from a multi-employer pension plan when we purchased
their operations.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased to $7.8 million for the year
ended December 31, 2003 from $0.2 million for the
period from January 1, 2002 to December 13, 2002. The
increase is due to interest on loans to finance the 2003
Acquisitions.
Interest Income
Interest income decreased from $2.1 million for the period
from January 1 to December 13, 2002 to
$0.1 million in 2003. Interest income for the period from
January 1, 2002 to December 13, 2002 was attributable
to interest earned on Virginia tax credits and an employee
benefit trust. We did not acquire the assets of the employee
benefit trust or the receivable for the Virginia tax credits.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
Income taxes from continuing operations increased
$18.1 million from a benefit of $17.2 million for the
period from January 1, 2002 to December 13, 2002 to an
expense of $0.9 million for the year ended
December 31, 2003. This increase in income taxes was
attributable primarily to the increase in pre-tax income. The
effective tax rate for the period from January 1, 2002 to
December 13, 2002 and for the year ended December 31,
2003 was 41.4% and 18.7%, respectively. In 2003, tax was not
provided on ANR Fund IX Holdings, L.P.'s portion of
our earnings and the minority interest owners' share in the
earnings of ANR Holdings. In addition, in periods when a pre-tax
loss is reported, percentage depletion increases the effective
tax rate (increases the tax benefit) whereas in periods when
pre-tax income is reported, percentage depletion decreases the
effective tax rate (decreases the tax expense).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary liquidity and capital resource requirements are to
finance the cost of our coal production and purchases, to make
capital expenditures, pay income taxes, and to service our debt
and reclamation obligations. Our primary sources of liquidity
are cash flow from sales of our produced and purchased coal,
other income and borrowings under our senior credit facility.
71
Table of Contents
At June 30, 2005, our available liquidity was
$53.7 million, including cash of $10.1 million and
$43.6 million available under our credit facility. Our
total indebtedness was $262.6 million at June 30,
2005, an increase of $60.9 million from the year ended
December 31, 2004. On a pro forma basis giving effect to
the Nicewonder Acquisition and 2005 Financing, including our
repayment of the $181.1 million first installment of the
promissory notes we expect to issue to the Nicewonder Coal Group
sellers, our available liquidity at June 30, 2005 would
have been $145.1 million, including cash of
$10.1 million and $135.0 million available under our
credit facility, and our total indebtedness would have been
$528.8 million.
We currently project cash capital spending for the full year of
2005, including projected post-acquisition cash capital spending
in 2005 on the operations we plan to acquire from Nicewonder, of
$110 million to $120 million. These forecasted
expenditures will be used to develop new mines and replace or
add equipment. We believe that cash generated from our
operations and borrowings under our credit facility will be
sufficient to meet our working capital requirements, anticipated
capital expenditures and debt service requirements for at least
the next twelve months.
Cash Flows
Net cash used by operations in the first six months of 2005 was
$1.4 million, a decrease of $48.5 million from the
$47.1 million of net cash provided by operations during the
first six months of 2004. This $48.5 million decrease in
cash provided by operations is mainly attributed to an increase
in the cash used by operating assets and liabilities. The
combination of our net income and non-cash charges included in
net income for the first six months of 2005 increased by
$10.6 million over the comparable period in 2004. Improved
operating results in the first six months of 2005 over the prior
year period were more than offset by our stock-based
compensation charges in the amount of $39.8 million, the
majority of which were non-cash. This $10.6 million
increase was more than offset by an increase in the cash
required to support our operating assets and liabilities in the
amount of $59.1 million. The additional cash required for
operating assets and liabilities in the first six months of 2005
as compared to the first six months of 2004 was principally
caused by the following three factors:
•
Our trade accounts receivable used $19.4 million more cash
    in the first six months of 2005 than in the comparable period
    last year, due to the 25% increase in our total revenues in the
    six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the prior year
    period. There has been no change in our credit terms and over
    93% of our receivables were current in both periods.
•
The cash required to carry inventories increased by
    $20.1 million in the current six month period over the
    corresponding period last year mainly due to an increase in tons
    in inventory and an increase in the associated cost per ton.

Accounts payable and other current accrued liabilities provided
    cash in the six months ended June 30, 2005 in the amount of
    $14.9 million while these liabilities provided cash in the
    amount of $36.2 million in the year ago period, an
    additional $21.3 million use of cash in the current period.
Net cash used in investing activities consumed
$18.7 million more cash in the first half of 2005 over the
year ago period mainly due to increased capital expenditures for
new mines and equipment in the amount of $32.7 million. The
2004 period included a loan to a coal supplier for
$10.0 million and the purchase of the net assets of two
companies for the total amount of $2.9 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased by
$66.8 million to $69.0 million in the six months ended
June 30, 2005 over the six months ended June 30, 2004.
During the six month period ended June 30, 2004 we
recapitalized our company by issuing $175.0 million of
10% senior notes and entered into a new credit facility. We
used the proceeds to repay our then existing credit facility and
to pay distributions to the members of ANR Holdings, LLC. Net
cash provided by financing activities was $2.1 million
during the year ago period. In the six months ended
June 30, 2005, we completed our previously discussed
Internal Restructuring and IPO. The proceeds from the IPO were
used to repay shareholders' notes issued as part of the
Internal Restructuring. Our long-term debt increase of
approximately $70.0 million has been used to fund our cash
needs for working capital and to purchase capital equipment.
Cash provided by operating activities was $106.8 million
for the year ended December 31, 2004, an increase of
$52.7 million from the same period in 2003. Cash provided
by operations for 2004 benefited from the effects of our 2003
Acquisitions and the strength of the coal markets during the
period. This increase is attributable to an increase in net
72
Table of Contents
income of $17.7 million for 2004 over 2003, an increase in
non-cash charges included in net income of $49.9 million
and partially offset by the effects of a $15.0 million
increase in net operating assets and liabilities.
Net cash used in investing activities was $86.2 million
during the year ended December 31, 2004, $13.9 million
less than the same period of 2003. Capital expenditures
increased $44.3 million, to $72.0 million during 2004.
The increase in capital expenditures was primarily due to the
replacement of equipment, new mine development and upgrades to a
preparation plant. In the second quarter of 2003, we sold our
interest in certain coal properties acquired in the purchase of
our Predecessor, and a royalty interest acquired in our Coastal
Coal Company acquisition for cash of $65.2 million. We also
paid $133.8 million for the Coastal Coal Company,
U.S. AMCI and Mears acquisitions in 2003. As part of a coal
supply agreement, we loaned an unrelated coal supplier
$10.0 million in June 2004 at a variable rate to be repaid
in installments over a two-year period beginning in August 2004.
The loan is secured by the assets of the debtor and personally
guaranteed by the debtor's owner. The related coal supply
agreement with the debtor should provide us with approximately
40,000 tons of coal per month through March of 2006. In
September 2004, we also acquired an equity interest for a
subscription price of $6.5 million in a company which is
developing a mining property in Venezuela. Payments totaling
$4.5 million were made during the year ended
December 31, 2004.
Net cash used in financing activities during the year ended
December 31, 2004 was $24.4 million compared with net
cash provided by financing activities of $48.8 million in
the prior year. Net cash used by financing activities included
the net proceeds of $171.5 million received as a result of
the issuance of our $175 million 10% senior notes in
May 2004 offset by distributions made to our equity owners of
$115.6 million, the repayment of bank and other debt in the
amount of $75.8 million, $10.5 million paid for debt
issuance costs and $1.7 for deferred stock offering costs during
the year ended December 31, 2004. We received
$18.3 million in capital contributions and
$20.0 million in advances from affiliates during the year
ended December 31, 2003. In addition, we incurred bank and
other debt in the net amount of $12.9 million during the
year ended December 31, 2003.
Our operations provided us cash of $54.1 million for the
year ended December 31, 2003, while the operations of our
Predecessor used cash of $13.8 million for the period from
January 1, 2002 to December 13, 2002. Our net income
increased $26.6 million to $2.3 million when compared
to our Predecessor's net loss of $24.3 million. Our
non-cash charges increased by $36.8 million in 2003 mainly
due to increased depreciation, depletion and amortization
charges associated with the 2003 Acquisitions. Net changes in
operating assets and liabilities increased our operating cash
flow by $15.1 million in 2003 while net changes in
operating assets and liabilities increased cash flow from
operations by $11.3 million for the period from
January 1, 2002 to December 13, 2002.
Net cash used in investing activities was $100.1 million
for the year ended December 31, 2003. Cash used in
investing activities includes $133.8 million for the
acquisitions of Coastal Coal Company, U.S. AMCI, and Mears
and capital expenditures of $27.7 million. The 2003 period
includes proceeds of $65.2 million received from the sales
of coal reserves and mineral interests acquired in the Pittston
Coal Company and Coastal Coal Company acquisitions. The
investing activities of our Predecessor in 2002 consisted
primarily of capital expenditures.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $48.8 million
and $35.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2003
and the period from January 1, 2002 to December 13,
2002, respectively. In 2003, we entered into a credit facility
which provided for a $45.0 million term loan and a
$75.0 million revolving credit line.
Proceeds from borrowings under this credit facility were
$58.5 million in 2003. Repayments of notes payable and
long-term debt totaled $45.7 million. We received
$15.2 million for common stock issued and we received
advances from affiliates of $20.0 million during the year
ended December 31, 2003. Cash provided by financing
activities of our Predecessor in the period from January 1,
2002 to December 13, 2002 consisted of advances from
affiliates.

subsidiaries, including restrictions on our subsidiaries'
ability to: incur debt; grant liens; enter into agreements with
negative pledge clauses; provide guarantees in respect of
obligations of any other person; pay dividends and make other
distributions; make loans, investments, advances and
acquisitions; sell assets; make redemptions and repurchases of
capital stock; make capital expenditures; prepay, redeem or

businesses; change our fiscal year; amend certain debt and other
material agreements; issue and sell capital stock of
subsidiaries; engage in sale and leaseback transactions; and
restrict distributions from subsidiaries. In addition, the
credit facility provides that we must meet or exceed certain
interest coverage ratios and must not exceed certain leverage
ratios.
Borrowings under our existing credit facility will be subject to
mandatory prepayment (1) with 100% of the net cash proceeds
received from asset sales or other dispositions of property by
ANR Holdings and its subsidiaries (including insurance and other
condemnation proceedings), subject to certain exceptions and
reinvestment provisions, (2) with 100% of the net cash
proceeds received by ANR Holdings and its subsidiaries from the
issuance of debt securities or other incurrence of debt,
excluding certain indebtedness, and (3) 50% (or 25%, if our
leverage ratio is less than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00 but greater
than 1.00, or 0% if our leverage ratio is less than or equal to
1.00) of the net cash proceeds of equity issuances of ANR
Holdings and its subsidiaries.
Other
As a regular part of our business, we review opportunities for,
and engage in discussions and negotiations concerning, the
acquisition of coal mining assets and interests in coal mining
companies, and acquisitions of, or combinations with, coal
mining companies. When we believe that these opportunities are
consistent with our growth plans and our acquisition criteria,
we will make bids or proposals and/or enter into letters of
intent and other similar agreements, which may be binding or
nonbinding, that are customarily subject to a variety of
conditions and usually permit us to terminate the discussions
and any related agreement if, among other things, we are not
satisfied with the results of our due diligence investigation.
Any acquisition opportunities we pursue could materially affect
our liquidity and capital resources and may require us to incur
indebtedness, seek equity capital or both. There can be no
assurance that additional financing will be available on terms
acceptable to us, or at all.
Analysis of Material Debt Covenants
We were in compliance with all covenants under our existing
credit facility and the indenture governing our senior notes as
of June 30, 2005.
The financial covenants in our credit facility require, among
other things, that:
•
Alpha Natural Resources, LLC must maintain a leverage ratio,
    defined as the ratio of total debt to Adjusted EBITDA (as
    defined in the credit agreement), of less than 3.75 at
    December 31, 2004, 3.50 at March 31 and June 30,
    2005, 3.25 at September 30 and December 31, 2005, 3.15
    at March 31, June 30, September 30 and
74
Table of Contents
December 31, 2006 and 3.00 at March 31, 2007 (and
    thereafter), respectively, with Adjusted EBITDA being computed
    using the most recent four quarters; and
•
Alpha Natural Resources, LLC must maintain an interest coverage
    ratio, defined as the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in
    the credit agreement), to cash interest expense (defined as the
    sum of cash interest expense plus cash letter of credit fees and
    commissions), of greater than 2.50 at September 30, 2004
    and at each quarter end thereafter.
Based upon Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement),
Alpha Natural Resources, LLC's leverage ratio and interest
coverage ratio for the twelve months ended June 30, 2005
were 1.67 (maximum of 3.50) and 7.44 (minimum of 2.50),
respectively. Alpha Natural Resources, LLC maintained the
leverage and interest coverage ratios specified in, and were in
compliance with, the credit facility as of June 30, 2005.
Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the credit agreement, is used to
determine compliance with many of the covenants under the credit
facility. The breach of covenants in the credit facility that
are tied to ratios based on Adjusted EBITDA could result in a
default under the credit facility and the lenders could elect to
declare all amounts borrowed due and payable. Any acceleration
would also result in a default under our indenture.
Because the covenants in our credit facility relate to Alpha
Natural Resources, LLC, EBITDA as presented in the table below
reflects adjustments for minority interest necessary to
reconcile our net income to Alpha Natural Resources, LLC's
EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to
exclude non-recurring items, non-cash items and other
adjustments permitted in calculating covenant compliance under
our credit facility, as shown in the table below. We believe
that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA
applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide
additional information to investors to demonstrate compliance
with our financial covenants.

Long-term debt and capital leases include principal amounts due

    assuming a rate of 7.0% on our variable rate loan, would be
    approximately $18.3 million in 2005, $36.4 million in
    2006 to 2007, $35.8 million in 2008 to 2009, and
    $42.3 million after 2009.
Additionally, we have long-term liabilities relating to mine
reclamation and end-of-mine closure costs, workers'
compensation benefits and all of our operating and
management-services subsidiaries have long-term liabilities
relating to retiree health care (postretirement benefits). The

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of business, we are a party to certain
off-balance sheet arrangements. These arrangements include
guarantees and financial instruments with off-balance sheet
risk, such as bank letters of credit and performance or surety
bonds. No liabilities related to these arrangements are
reflected in our combined balance sheets, and we do not expect
any material adverse effects on our financial condition, results
of operations or cash flows to result from these off-balance
sheet arrangements.
From time to time, we provide guarantees to financial
institutions to facilitate the acquisition of mining equipment
by third parties who mine coal for us. This arrangement is
beneficial to us because it helps insure a continuing source of
coal production.
Federal and state laws require us to secure payment of certain
long-term obligations such as mine closure and reclamation
costs, federal and state workers' compensation, coal leases
and other obligations. We typically secure these payment
obligations by using surety bonds, an off-balance sheet
instrument. The use of surety bonds is less expensive for us
than the alternative of posting a 100% cash bond or a bank
letter of credit, either of which would require a greater use of
our credit facility. We then use bank letters of credit to
secure our surety bonding obligations as a lower cost
alternative than securing those bonds with cash. Under our
$125.0 million committed bonding facility, we are required
to provide bank letters of credit in an amount up to 50% of the
aggregate bond liability. Recently, surety bond costs have
increased, while the market terms of surety bonds have generally
become less favorable to us. To the extent that surety bonds
become unavailable, we would seek to secure our reclamation
obligations with letters of credit, cash deposits or other
suitable forms of collateral.
76
Table of Contents
As of June 30, 2005, we had outstanding surety bonds with
third parties for post-mining reclamation totaling
$96.0 million plus $8.6 million for miscellaneous
purposes. We maintained letters of credit as of June 30,
2005 totaling $53.4 million to secure reclamation and other
obligations.
In connection with our acquisition of Coastal Coal Company, the
seller, El Paso CGP Company, has agreed to retain and
indemnify us for all workers' compensation and black lung
claims incurred prior to the acquisition date of
January 31, 2003. The majority of this liability relates to
claims in the state of West Virginia. If El Paso CGP
Company fails to honor its agreement with us, then we would be
liable for the payment of those claims, which were estimated in
April 2004 to be approximately $5.4 million on an
undiscounted basis using claims data through June 2003.
El Paso CGP Company has posted a bond with the state of
West Virginia for the required discounted amount of
$3.7 million for claims incurred prior to the acquisition.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition, results
of operations, liquidity and capital resources is based upon our
combined financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP"). GAAP requires that we make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing
basis, we evaluate our estimates. We base our estimates on
historical experience and on various other assumptions that we
believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of
which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying
values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. Actual results may differ from these
estimates.
Reclamation.
Our asset retirement obligations arise from
the federal Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977
and similar state statutes, which require that mine property be
restored in accordance with specified standards and an approved
reclamation plan. Significant reclamation activities include
reclaiming refuse and slurry ponds, reclaiming the pit and
support acreage at surface mines, and sealing portals at deep
mines. We account for the costs of our reclamation activities in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 143,
"Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations."
We determine the future cash flows necessary to satisfy our
reclamation obligations on a mine-by-mine basis based upon
current permit requirements and various estimates and
assumptions, including estimates of disturbed acreage, cost
estimates, and assumptions regarding productivity. Estimates of
disturbed acreage are determined based on approved mining plans
and related engineering data. Cost estimates are based upon
third-party costs. Productivity assumptions are based on
historical experience with the equipment that is expected to be
utilized in the reclamation activities. In accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No. 143, we determine the fair
value of our asset retirement obligations. In order to determine
fair value, we must also estimate a discount rate and
third-party margin. Each is discussed further below:
•
Discount Rate.
SFAS No. 143 requires that asset
    retirement obligations be recorded at fair value. In accordance
    with the provisions of SFAS No. 143, we utilize
    discounted cash flow techniques to estimate the fair value of
    our obligations. We base our discount rate on the rates of
    treasury bonds with maturities similar to expected mine lives,
    adjusted for our credit standing.
•
Third-Party Margin.
SFAS No. 143 requires the
    measurement of an obligation to be based upon the amount a third
    party would demand to assume the obligation. Because we plan to
    perform a significant amount of the reclamation activities with
    internal resources, a third-party margin was added to the
    estimated costs of these activities. This margin was estimated
    based upon our historical experience with contractors performing
    certain types of reclamation activities. The inclusion of this
    margin will result in a recorded obligation that is greater than
    our estimates of our cost to perform the reclamation activities.
    If our cost estimates are accurate, the excess of the recorded
    obligation over the cost incurred to perform the work will be
    recorded as a gain at the time that reclamation work is
    completed.
On at least an annual basis, we review our entire reclamation
liability and make necessary adjustments for permit changes as
granted by state authorities, additional costs resulting from
accelerated mine closures, and revisions to cost estimates and
productivity assumptions, to reflect current experience. At
June 30, 2005, we had recorded asset retirement obligation
liabilities of $41.0 million, including amounts reported as
current. While the precise amount of these future costs cannot
be determined with certainty, as of June 30, 2005, we
estimate that the aggregate undiscounted cost of final mine
closure is approximately $60.0 million.
77
Table of Contents
Coal Reserves.
There are numerous uncertainties inherent
in estimating quantities of economically recoverable coal
reserves. Many of these uncertainties are beyond our control. As
a result, estimates of economically recoverable coal reserves
are by their nature uncertain. Information about our reserves
consists of estimates based on engineering, economic and
geological data assembled by our internal engineers and
geologists and reviewed by a third-party consultant. Some of the
factors and assumptions that impact economically recoverable
reserve estimates include:
•
geological conditions;
•
historical production from the area compared with production
    from other producing areas;
•
the assumed effects of regulations and taxes by governmental
    agencies;
•
assumptions governing future prices; and
•
future operating costs.
Each of these factors may in fact vary considerably from the
assumptions used in estimating reserves. For these reasons,
estimates of the economically recoverable quantities of coal
attributable to a particular group of properties, and
classifications of these reserves based on risk of recovery and
estimates of future net cash flows, may vary substantially.
Actual production, revenues and expenditures with respect to
reserves will likely vary from estimates, and these variances
may be material.
Postretirement Medical Benefits.
Three of our
subsidiaries have long-term liabilities for postretirement
benefit cost obligations. Detailed information related to these
liabilities is included in the notes to our combined financial
statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. Liabilities
for postretirement benefit costs are not funded. The liability
is actuarially determined, and we use various actuarial
assumptions, including the discount rate and future cost trends,
to estimate the costs and obligations for postretirement benefit
costs. The discount rate assumption reflects the rates available
on high quality fixed income debt instruments. The discount rate
used to determine the net periodic benefit cost for
postretirement benefits other than pensions was 6.25% for the
year ended December 31, 2004 and 6.75% for the year ended
December 31, 2003. We make assumptions related to future
trends for medical care costs in the estimates of retiree health
care and work-related injury and illness obligations. If our
assumptions do not materialize as expected, actual cash
expenditures and costs that we incur could differ materially
from our current estimates. Moreover, regulatory changes could
increase our requirement to satisfy these or additional
obligations.
Effective July 1, 2004, we began offering postretirement
medical benefits to most of our active employees that will
provide a credit equal to $20 per month per year of service
for pre-65 year-old retirees, and $9 per month per
year of service for post-65-year old retirees toward the
purchase of medical benefits (as defined) from us. This new plan
resulted in prior service cost of $27.1 million which will
be amortized over the remaining service lives of the employees
covered by this plan. This amortization of prior service cost is
expected to be approximately $2.8 million per year. We
recorded $3.7 million and $3.9 million in costs with
respect to this new plan in 2004 and the first six months of
2005, respectively, consisting primarily of service cost,
amortization of prior service cost and interest cost.
Workers' Compensation.
Workers' compensation is
a system by which individuals who sustain personal injuries due
to job-related accidents are compensated for their disabilities,
medical costs, and on some occasions, for the costs of their
rehabilitation, and by which the survivors of workers who suffer
fatal injuries receive compensation for lost financial support.
The workers' compensation laws are administered by state
agencies with each state having its own set of rules and
regulations regarding compensation that is owed to an employee
who is injured in the course of employment. Our operations are
covered through a combination of a self-insurance program,
participation in a state run program, and an insurance policy.
We accrue for any self-insured liability by recognizing costs
when it is probable that a covered liability has been incurred
and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Our estimates of these
costs are adjusted based upon actuarial studies. Actual losses
may differ from these estimates, which could increase or
decrease our costs.
Coal Workers' Pneumoconiosis.
We are responsible
under various federal statutes, including the Coal Mine Health
and Safety Act of 1969, and various states' statutes, for
the payment of medical and disability benefits to eligible
employees resulting from occurrences of coal workers'
pneumoconiosis disease (black lung). Our operations are covered
through a combination of a self-insurance program, in which we
are a participant in a state run program, and an insurance
policy. We accrue for any self-insured liability by recognizing
costs when it is probable that a covered liability has been
incurred and

the cost can be reasonably estimated. Our estimates of these
costs are adjusted based upon actuarial studies. Actual losses
may differ from these estimates, which could increase or
decrease our costs.
Income Taxes.
We account for income taxes in accordance
with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes", which requires the recognition of deferred tax
assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates for the effect of
temporary differences between the book and tax bases of recorded
assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 109 also requires
that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if
it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the
deferred tax asset will not be realized. In evaluating the need
for a valuation allowance, we take into account various factors
including the expected level of future taxable income and
available tax planning strategies. If future taxable income is
lower than expected or if expected tax planning strategies are
not available as anticipated, we may record a change to the
valuation allowance through income tax expense in the period the
determination is made.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the
FASB) issued SFAS No. 151,
Inventory Costs
,
which amends the guidance in Accounting Research Bulletin
(ARB) No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory
Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of
idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted
material (spoilage). SFAS No. 151 clarifies that
abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling
costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized
as current-period charges instead of inventory costs. The
provisions of this pronouncement will be effective for inventory
costs incurred during fiscal years ending after June 15,
2005. We are currently evaluating whether the adoption of
SFAS No. 151 will have any material financial
statement impact.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R),
Share-Based Payment
, which requires companies to expense
the fair value of equity awards over the required service
period. This Statement is a revision of SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
.
SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees
, which uses the
intrinsic value method to value stock-based compensation. On
April 14, 2005, the SEC adopted a new rule that amends the
effective date of SFAS No. 123(R) to allow SEC
registrants to implement SFAS No. 123(R) as of the
beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after
June 15, 2005. This ruling by the SEC changes the effective
date under SFAS No. 123(R) that would have required
SEC registrants to adopt SFAS No. 123(R) at the
beginning of their next interim or annual reporting period that
begins after June 15, 2005. There are various methods of
adopting SFAS 123(R), and we have not yet determined what
method we will use or if we will adopt SFAS No. 123(R)
in an earlier period than is required.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153,
Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion
No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions
. This
Statement's amendments are based on the principle that
exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the
fair value of the assets exchanged. Further,
SFAS No. 153 eliminates the narrow exception for
nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces
it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets
that do not have commercial substance. The provisions of this
pronouncement will be effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges
occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005.
We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 153 to have
any material impact on our financial statements.
On March 17, 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) of FASB reached consensus on EITF Issue
No. 04-6,
Accounting for Stripping Costs Incurred during
Production in the Mining Industry
, and on March 30,
2005, the FASB Board ratified the consensus. The EITF reached
consensus that stripping costs incurred during the production
phase of a mine are variable production costs that should be
included in the costs of inventory produced during the period
that the stripping costs are incurred. ETIF 04-6 is effective
for the first reporting period in fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2005 with early adoption permitted. The
Company does not expect that the adoption of EITF 04-6 will
have any material financial statement impact.
In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47,
Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations
,
an interpretation of SFAS No. 143,
Accounting for
Asset Retirement Obligations
. This Interpretation clarifies
that an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair
value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred
if the liability's fair value can be reasonably estimated.
The provisions of this pronouncement are effective for fiscal
years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company does not
expect the adoption of Interpretation No. 47 will have any
material financial statement impact.

Discussion of Seasonality Impacts on Operations
Our business is seasonal, with operating results varying from
quarter to quarter. We have historically experienced lower sales
during winter months primarily due to the freezing of lakes that
we use to transport coal to some of our customers. As a result,
our first quarter cash flow and profits have been, and may
continue to be, negatively impacted. Lower than expected sales
by us during this period could have a material adverse effect on
the timing of our cash flows and therefore our ability to
service our obligations with respect to our existing and future
indebtedness.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
In addition to risks inherent in operations, we are exposed to
market risks. The following discussion provides additional
detail regarding our exposure to the risks of changing coal
prices, interest rates and customer credit.
We are exposed to market price risk in the normal course of
selling coal. As of October 6, 2005, approximately 20% of
our planned 2006 production, 42% of the Nicewonder Coal
Group's planned 2006 production, 53% of our planned 2007
production and 86% of the Nicewonder Coal Group's planned
production for 2007 was uncommitted and was not yet priced. We
have increased the proportion of our planned future production
in 2006 and 2007 for which we have contracts to sell coal, which
has the effect of lessening our market price risk.
All of our borrowings under the revolving credit facility are at
a variable rate, so we are exposed to rising interest rates in
the United States. A one percentage point increase in interest
rates would result in an annualized increase to interest expense
of approximately $0.8 million based on our variable rate
borrowings as of June 30, 2005, or $3.0 million based
on our variable rate borrowings as of June 30, 2005
calculated on a pro forma basis giving effect to the Nicewonder
Acquisition and 2005 Financing.
Our concentration of credit risk is substantially with electric
utilities, producers of steel and foreign customers. Our policy
is to independently evaluate a customer's creditworthiness
prior to entering into transactions and to periodically monitor
the credit extended.

THE COAL INDUSTRY
Coal is a major contributor to the world energy supply. In 2004,
coal represented approximately 27% of the world's primary
energy consumption and was also the fastest growing energy
source in the world, according to BP Statistical Review.
The primary use for coal is to fuel electric power generation.
In 2004, coal generated 51.5% of the electricity produced in the
United States, according to the EIA.
The United States is the second largest coal producer in the
world, exceeded only by China, according to BP Statistical
Review. Other leading coal producers include Australia, India,
South Africa and Russia. According to BP Statistical
Review, the United States is the largest holder of coal reserves
in the world, with approximately 245 years of supply at
current production rates. U.S. coal reserves are more
plentiful than oil or natural gas, with coal representing
approximately 93% of the nation's fossil fuel reserves on a
Btu-comparable basis according to data collected by
BP Statistical Review.
U.S. Coal Production Regions
According to the EIA, U.S. coal production has increased by
82% during the last 30 years. In 2004, total U.S. coal
production, according to the EIA, was 1.1 billion tons. The
Powder River Basin accounted for 39% of the total volume of
U.S. coal production in 2003, with Central Appalachia
accounting for 21%, the Midwest accounting for 13%, the West
(other than the Powder River Basin) accounting for 12%, Northern
Appalachia accounting for 12% and Southern Appalachia accounting
for 2%, according to Platts. After the sale of NKC on
April 14, 2005, all of our coal production comes from the
Central and Northern Appalachian regions.
Central Appalachia, including eastern Kentucky, Virginia and
southern West Virginia, is the second largest coal producing
region in the United States (21% of 2004 production). Coal from
this region generally has a high heat content of between 12,000
and 14,000 Btus per pound and a low sulfur content ranging from
0.7% to 1.5%. From 2001 to 2004, according to Platts, the
Central Appalachian region experienced a decline in production
from 266.4 million tons to 229.2 million tons, or a
14% decline, primarily as a result of the depletion of
economically attractive reserves, permitting issues and
increasing costs of production, which was partially offset by
production increases in Southern West Virginia due to the
expansion of more economically attractive surface mines. The EIA
estimates that Central Appalachian operators marketed
approximately 52% of their 2003 coal sales directly to electric
generators, principally in the southeastern U.S., 25% to coal
synfuel plants that further process the coal for sale to
electric generators and industrial end-users, and the remainder
primarily to steel producers in the U.S. and internationally.
Central Appalachia is the primary source of U.S. coal
exports. We operate or have the right to receive production from
47 mines in this region producing primarily high Btu, low sulfur
steam and metallurgical coal.
Northern Appalachia, including Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania and
northern West Virginia, is the other major coal producing region
in the eastern U.S. (12% of 2004 U.S. production).
Coal from this region generally has a high heat content of
between 12,000 and 14,000 Btus per pound with typical sulfur
content ranging from 1.0% to 4.5%. From 2001 to 2004, according
to Platts, the Northern Appalachian region experienced a decline
in production from 142.3 million tons to 135 million
tons, or a 5% decline, primarily as a result of production
problems at longwall mining operations in southern Pennsylvania
and northern West Virginia. Northern Appalachian operators
market the vast majority of their coal to electric generators.
Despite its sulfur content, which is considered medium sulfur
coal, coal from Northern Appalachia is generally considered
attractive to electricity generators because of its high average
heat content of approximately 13,000 Btus per pound. We
operate or have the right to receive production from 17 mines in
this region producing primarily steam and metallurgical coal
with a sulfur content of greater than 1.5% that has an average
heat content of approximately 12,350 Btus per pound.
We do not currently operate any mines in the Powder River Basin,
the Midwest region, Southern Appalachia or the Four Corners
region.
Demand for U.S. Coal Production
Coal produced in the United States is primarily consumed
domestically by utilities to generate electricity, by steel
companies to produce coke for use in blast furnaces, and by a
variety of industrial users to heat and power foundries, cement
plants, paper mills, chemical plants and other manufacturing and
processing facilities. According to the EIA, 98%
81
Table of Contents
of coal consumed in the United States in 2004 was from domestic
production sources. Coal produced in the United States is also
exported, primarily from east coast terminals. The breakdown of
2004 U.S. coal consumption by end user, as estimated by the
EIA, is as follows:

Includes consumption of 27.3 million tons of coal imported

As reflected in the above table, the dominant use for coal in
the United States is for electricity generation. Coal used as
fuel to generate electricity and for use by industrial consumers
is commonly referred to as "steam coal," and it
accounted for approximately 63% of our 2004 coal sales volume.
Coal has long been favored as an electricity generating fuel by
regulated utilities because of its low cost compared to other
fuels. The largest cost component in electricity generation is
fuel. This fuel cost is typically lower for coal than competing
hydrocarbon-based fuels such as oil and natural gas on a
Btu-comparable basis. Global Energy Advisors has estimated the
average total production costs of electricity, using coal and
competing generation alternatives in the first quarter of 2005
as follows:
Cost per
Megawatt
Electrical Generation Type
Hour
Natural Gas
$
59.14
Oil
57.18
Coal
19.41
Nuclear
16.35
Hydroelectric
7.45
Factors other than fuel cost that influence each utility's
choice of the type of electricity generation include, among
others, facility construction cost, access to fuel
transportation infrastructure and environmental restrictions.
The breakdown of U.S. electricity generation by fuel source
in 2004, according to EIA, is as follows:

The EIA projects that generators of electricity will increase
their demand for coal as demand for electricity increases.
Because coal-fired generation is used in most cases to meet
"base load" requirements, which are the minimum
amounts of electric power delivered or required over a given
period of time at a steady rate, coal consumption has generally
grown at the pace of electricity demand growth. Demand for
electricity has historically grown in proportion to
U.S. economic growth as measured by Gross Domestic Product.
Based on estimates compiled by the EIA, coal consumption is
expected to grow 1.6% per year until 2025.

Table of Contents
The other major market for our coal is the steel industry. The
type of coal used in steel making is referred to as
"metallurgical coal," and it accounted for
approximately 37% of our 2004 coal sales volume. When making
steel in an integrated steel mill, two of the key raw
ingredients are iron ore and coke. Coke is the substance formed
when metallurgical coal is heated in a coking oven to a very
high temperature in the absence of air. In the blast furnace of
an integrated steel mill, coke is primarily used to
(i) generate the heat required to convert iron ore into
molten iron; (ii) generate the reducing gas necessary to
chemically convert iron oxides into hot metal; and
(iii) create a permeable bed to allow the molten iron to
drip down and the reducing gases to rise up. Generally, 1.5 tons
of metallurgical coal produces approximately 1 ton of coke,
which in turn is needed to produce approximately 2 tons of steel.
Blast furnaces are designed to use specific grades of cokes, and
as a result, coking ovens are designed to use metallurgical
coals with specific qualities. Metallurgical coal is
distinguished by special quality characteristics that include
high carbon content, low expansion pressure, low sulfur content,
and various other chemical attributes. Metallurgical coal is
also high in heat content (as measured in Btus), and therefore
can alternatively be used by utilities as fuel for electricity
generation. Consequently, metallurgical coal producers have the
opportunity to select the market that provides maximum revenue.
The premium price offered for metallurgical coal by steel makers
for its coke-making attributes is typically higher than the
price offered by utility coal buyers that typically value only
the heat and sulfur content of steam coal.
U.S. metallurgical coal reserves are predominately
concentrated in the Central Appalachian region. The EIA
estimates that the Central Appalachian region supplied 77% of
U.S. export metallurgical coal during 2003.
In 2004, approximately 4% of our coal sales were made to
industrial consumers, all of which was steam coal. Industrial
users of coal typically purchase high Btu products with the same
type of quality focus as utility coal buyers. The primary goal
is to maximize heat content, with other specifications like ash
content, sulfur content, and size varying considerably among
different customers. Because most industrial coal consumers use
considerably less tonnage than electric generating stations,
they typically prefer to purchase coal that is screened and
sized to specifications that streamline coal handling processes.
Due to the more stringent size and quality specifications,
industrial customers often pay a premium above utility coal
pricing.
Coal produced in the United States that is shipped for North
American consumption is typically sold at the mine loading
facility with transportation costs being borne by the purchaser.
Offshore export shipments are normally sold at the ship-loading
terminal, with the producer paying for the transportation costs
to the port and the purchaser paying the ocean freight.
While delivery to coal consumers often involves more than one
mode of transportation, according to the EIA, approximately
two-thirds of U.S. coal production is shipped via
railroads. In addition, coal is also shipped via trucks, barges,
overland conveyors, and ocean vessels loaded at export terminals.
The United States ranked sixth among worldwide exporters of coal
in 2004, according to estimates by the World Coal Institute.
Australia was the largest exporter, with other major exporters
including China, Indonesia, South Africa, Russia and Colombia.
According to the EIA, the United States continues to be a swing
supplier of coal in the world market. The EIA's most recent
estimates indicate that U.S. exports in 2004 decreased by
over 33% since 1994 as a result of increased international
competition, the U.S. dollar's strength over time in
comparison to foreign currencies and the depletion of reserves
in regions of the United States that have traditionally sold
into the export market. According to the EIA, the United States
exported 48.0 million tons of coal in 2004, of which 56%
was used for electricity generation and 44% was used for steel
making. U.S. coal exports were shipped to 25 countries in
2003. According to the EIA, the largest purchaser of both
exported steam coal and exported metallurgical coal from the
United States in 2004 was Canada, which imported 14 million
tons, or 66%, of total steam coal exports and 3.8 million
tons, or 14%, of total metallurgical coal exports.
Industry Trends
In recent years, the U.S. coal industry has experienced
several significant trends including:
Growth in Coal Consumption.
According to the EIA, from
1990 to 2004 coal consumption in the United States increased
from 904 million tons to 1,104.3 million tons, or 22%.
The largest driver of increased coal consumption during this
period was increased demand for electricity, as electricity
production by domestic electric power producers increased 31%
and coal consumption by electric power producers increased 30%.
As coal remains one of the lowest cost fuel sources
83
Table of Contents
for domestic electric power producers, we believe coal
consumption should continue to expand as demand for electricity
continues to increase.
Increased Utilization of Excess Capacity at Existing
Coal-Fired Power Plants.
We believe that existing coal-fired
plants will supply much of the near-term projected increase in
the demand for electricity because they possess excess capacity
that can be utilized at low incremental costs. In 2004, the
estimated average utilization of the existing coal-fired power
plant fleet was 72%, significantly below the estimated potential
utilization rate of 85%. If U.S. coal fueled plants operate
at utilization rates of 85%, we believe they would consume
approximately 185 million additional tons of coal per year,
which represents an increase of approximately 16% over current
coal consumption. In comparison, in 2004, the average
utilization of the existing nuclear-fired power plant fleet was
estimated by Platts to be 90%.
Construction of New Coal-Fired Power Plants.
The NETL
projects that more than 100,000 megawatts of new coal-fired
electric generation capacity will be constructed in the United
States by 2025. The NETL has identified 124 coal-fired plants,
representing 73,000 megawatts of electric generation capacity,
which have been proposed and are currently in various stages of
development. The DOE projects that approximately 70 of these
proposed coal-fired plants, representing approximately 43,000
megawatts of electric generation capacity, will be completed and
begin consuming coal to produce electricity by the end of 2010.
Industry Consolidation.
The U.S. coal industry has
experienced significant consolidation over the last
15 years. In 2004, the five largest coal producers
controlled over 51% of coal produced in the United States,
compared to just 35% in 1995 and 22% in 1990, according to
Platts. Weaker coal prices in the late 1990s forced many smaller
operators to sell or shut down their operations. In addition, a
number of large international oil and gas companies decided to
exit the domestic coal industry. Despite increased
consolidation, the industry still remains relatively fragmented
with more than 700 coal producers in the United States in 2004,
according to Platts.
Increasingly Stringent Air Quality Laws.
The coal
industry has witnessed a shift in demand to low sulfur coal
production driven by regulatory restrictions on sulfur dioxide
emissions from coal-fired power plants. In 1995, Phase I of
the Clean Air Act's Acid Rain regulations required high
sulfur coal plants to reduce their emissions of sulfur dioxide
to 2.5 pounds or less per million Btu, and in 2000,
Phase II tightened these sulfur dioxide restrictions
further to 1.2 pounds of sulfur dioxide per million Btu.
Sulfur dioxide and other emissions may be restricted even
further by some currently proposed laws and regulations.
Currently, electric power generators operating coal-fired plants
can comply with these requirements by:
•
burning lower sulfur coal, either exclusively or mixed with
    higher sulfur coal;
•
installing pollution control devices, such as scrubbers, that
    reduce the emissions from high sulfur coal;
•
reducing electricity generating levels; or
•
purchasing or trading emission credits to allow them to comply
    with the sulfur dioxide emission compliance requirements.
Additional current and proposed air emission requirements are
discussed in "Environmental and Other Regulatory
Matters."
Recent Coal Market Conditions
According to traded coal indices and reference prices, U.S. and
international coal demand is currently strong, and coal pricing
has increased in 2004 and early 2005 in each of our coal
production markets. We believe that the current strong
fundamentals in the U.S. coal industry result primarily
from:
•
stronger industrial demand following a recovery in the
    U.S. manufacturing sector, evidenced by the most recent
    estimate of 3.3% real GDP growth in the second quarter of 2005,
    as reported by the Bureau of Economic Analysis;
•
relatively low customer stockpiles, estimated by the
    U.S. Energy Information Administration ("EIA") to
    be approximately 115.7 million tons at the end of the
    second quarter of 2005, down 4.1% from the same period in the
    prior year;
84
Table of Contents
•
declining coal production in Central Appalachia, including an
    average annual decline of 4.9% in Central Appalachian coal
    production volume from January 1, 2001 through
    December 31, 2004;
•
capacity constraints of U.S. nuclear-powered electricity
    generators, which operated at an average utilization rate of
    90.1% in 2004, up from 73.8% in 1994, as estimated by the EIA;
•
high current and forward prices for natural gas and heating oil,
    the primary fuels for electricity generation, with spot prices
    as of October 3, 2005, for natural gas and heating oil at
    $14.50 per million Btu and $2.04 per gallon,
    respectively, as reported by Bloomberg L.P.; and
•
increased international demand for U.S. coal for
    steelmaking, driven by global economic growth, high ocean
    freight rates and the weak U.S. dollar.
Steam Coal Pricing.
U.S. spot steam coal prices have
experienced significant volatility over the past few years.
Starting in late 2000 and continuing through mid-2001,
U.S. spot steam coal prices began to rise as a result of
reduced supply, higher demand from utility and industrial
consumers, and rising natural gas and oil prices. Beginning in
the middle of 2001, U.S. spot steam coal prices declined
due to the weakening domestic economy, higher utility consumer
inventories and increases in supply as the coal production
market reacted to the stronger prices during the late 2000/early
2001 period. Spot prices for U.S. steam coal remained
relatively low through the end of 2001 and during all of 2002.
U.S. spot steam coal prices have steadily increased since
mid-2003, particularly for coals sourced in the eastern United
States. The table below describes the percentage increase in
year-over-year average reference prices for coal as of
October 3, 2005, according to Platts Research and
Consulting ("Platts"), in the regions where we produce
our coal, and the percentage of our produced and processed coal
sales volume during 2004 by region:

The following chart sets forth historical steam coal prices in
various U.S. markets computed on an average monthly basis
for the period from January 1, 1999 to October 3, 2005.
Metallurgical Coal Pricing.
Metallurgical coal prices in
both the domestic and seaborne export markets have increased
significantly over the past two years due to tight supply and
strong global steel production. The price increase in the
U.S. metallurgical coal market is due in part to improved
stability in the U.S. steel industry, which has increased
domestic demand for metallurgical coal. The
U.S. flat-rolled steel industry has experienced several
mergers and acquisitions involving a number of companies
emerging from, and assets sold out of, Chapter 11
bankruptcy protection. Many of the companies or assets
previously in Chapter 11 have reduced or eliminated certain
of their costs and obligations associated with their steel
operations, including environmental, employee and retiree
benefit and other obligations. This reduction in industry
liabilities, together with the recent weakening of the
U.S. dollar, has helped U.S. steel companies become
more competitive with foreign steel producers.
Prices for U.S. metallurgical coal in foreign markets have
been supported by significant increases in demand for
metallurgical coal by foreign steel producers, driven by higher
steel production in Asia and the Pacific Rim, particularly in
China. According to the International Iron and Steel Institute,
global steel consumption increased by 8.8% during 2004 over the
2003 level, Chinese steel consumption increased approximately
11% in 2004 over 2003, and Asia-Pacific Rim consumption of
metallurgical coal continues to strain supply. Additionally, the
recent weakness of the U.S. dollar has made
U.S. metallurgical coal more competitive in international
markets. Increased prices have also been supported by
circumstances affecting the coal export industry in China and
Australia, the world's two largest coal exporters. In
Australia, the world's largest coal exporter, metallurgical
coal exports have been reduced by operating disruptions at
certain Australian metallurgical coal mines and capacity
constraints at major Australian shipping ports. China's
contribution to the world metallurgical coal export market has
been reduced by restrictions on its metallurgical coal exports
announced in late 2003 in order to satisfy domestic demand.
Asia-Pacific Rim consumption of metallurgical coal continues to
strain supply, with BHP Billiton, a major Australian producer,
reporting a 53% increase in average realized metallurgical coal
prices for fiscal year 2005 over the prior fiscal year, and
Fording Canadian Coal Trust, a major Canadian producer,
reporting an increase of
86

approximately 62% in average metallurgical coal sales price for
the six months ended June 30, 2005 over the same period in
2004.
The table below describes average sale prices, according to
Platts, for low volatile metallurgical coal at the Hampton
Roads, Virginia export terminals, through which we ship the

BUSINESS
Overview
We are a leading Appalachian coal producer. Our reserves
primarily consist of high Btu, low sulfur steam coal that is
currently in high demand in U.S. coal markets and
metallurgical coal that is currently in high demand in both U.S.
and international coal markets. We produce, process and sell
steam and metallurgical coal from seven regional business units,
which, as of September 15, 2005, are supported by 44 active
underground mines, 20 active surface mines and 11 preparation
plants located throughout Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky and
Pennsylvania. We are also actively involved in the purchase and
resale of coal mined by others, the majority of which we blend
with coal produced from our mines, allowing us to realize a
higher overall margin for the blended product than we would be
able to achieve selling these coals separately.
Steam coal, which is primarily purchased by large utilities and
industrial customers as fuel for electricity generation,
accounted for approximately 58% of our coal sales volume in the
first six months of 2005 and 63% of our 2004 coal sales volume.
The majority of our steam coal sales volume in the first six
months of 2005 and during 2004 consisted of high Btu (above
12,500 Btu content per pound), low sulfur (sulfur content of
1.5% or less) coal, which typically sells at a premium to
lower-Btu, higher-sulfur steam coal. Metallurgical coal, which
is used primarily to make coke, a key component in the steel
making process, accounted for approximately 42% of our coal
sales volume in the first six months of 2005 and 37% of our 2004
coal sales volume. Metallurgical coal generally sells at a
premium over steam coal because of its higher quality and its
value in the steelmaking process as the raw material for coke.
Under current market conditions, we are able to market a
significant portion of our higher quality steam coal as
metallurgical coal.
As discussed in note 22 to our financial statements, we
have one reportable segment — Coal
Operations — which consists of our coal extracting,
processing and marketing operations, as well as our purchased
coal sales function and certain other coal-related activities.
Our equipment and part sales and equipment repairs operations,
terminal services, coal and environmental analysis services and
leasing of mineral rights described below under
"— Other Operations" are not included in our
Coal Operations segment.
History
On December 13, 2002, the First Reserve Stockholders, who
then owned 100% of the membership interests of ANR Holdings,
acquired the majority of the Virginia coal operations of our
Predecessor through wholly owned subsidiaries of ANR Holdings
for $62.9 million.
On January 31, 2003, wholly owned subsidiaries of ANR
Holdings acquired Coastal Coal Company for $67.8 million,
and on March 11, 2003, ANR Holdings and its subsidiaries
acquired the U.S. coal production and marketing operations
of AMCI for $121.3 million. Of the consideration for the
U.S. AMCI acquisition, $69.0 million was provided in
the form of an approximate 44% membership interest in ANR
Holdings issued to the owners of AMCI, which together with the
issuances of an approximate 1% membership interest to Madison
Capital Funding, LLC and Alpha Coal Management reduced the First
Reserve Stockholders membership interest in ANR Holdings to
approximately 55%. On November 17, 2003, we acquired the
assets of Mears for $38.0 million.
On April 1, 2004, we acquired substantially all of the
assets of Moravian Run Reclamation Co., Inc. for five thousand
dollars in cash and the assumption by us of certain liabilities,
including four active surface mines and two additional surface
mines under development, operating in close proximity to and
serving many of the same customers as our AMFIRE business unit
located in Pennsylvania. On May 10, 2004, we acquired a
coal preparation plant and railroad loading facility located in
Portage, Pennsylvania and related equipment and coal inventory
from Cooney Bros. Coal Company for $2.5 million in cash and
an adjacent coal refuse disposal site from a Cooney family trust
for $0.3 million in cash. On October 13, 2004, our
AMFIRE business unit entered into a coal mining lease with
Pristine Resources, Inc., a subsidiary of International Steel
Group Inc., for the right to deep mine a substantial area of the
Upper Freeport Seam in Pennsylvania.
On February 11, 2005, we succeeded to the business and
became the indirect parent entity of ANR Holdings in connection
with the Internal Restructuring and, on February 18, 2005,
we completed an initial public offering of our common stock.
88
Table of Contents
On April 14, 2005, we sold the assets of NKC to an
unrelated third party for cash in the amount of
$4.4 million, plus an amount in cash equal to the fair
market value of NKC's coal inventory, and the assumption by
the buyer of certain liabilities of NKC.
On September 23, 2005, we entered into agreements to
acquire the Nicewonder Coal Group's coal reserves and
operations in southern West Virginia and southwestern Virginia.
Pursuant to the agreements and subject to the satisfaction or
waiver of the conditions therein, we have agreed to purchase the
outstanding capital stock of White Flame Energy, Inc., Twin Star
Mining, Inc. and Nicewonder Contracting, Inc., the equity
interests of Powers Shop, LLC and Buchanan Energy, LLC and
substantially all of the assets of Mate Creek Energy of W. Va.,
Inc. and Virginia Energy Company, and to acquire Premium Energy,
Inc. by merger. We have agreed to pay an aggregate purchase
price of $316.2 million for the Nicewonder Coal Group,
including $35.2 million in cash, $221.0 million in
promissory installment notes of one of our indirect, wholly
owned subsidiaries and the issuance of a number of shares of our
common stock having a fair market value of approximately
$60.0 million, based on the weighted average trading price
of our common stock during the 20-day trading period immediately
prior to the closing, subject to certain adjustments. The
purchase price is subject to certain working capital and other
adjustments.
We anticipate that we will close our purchase of the Nicewonder
Coal Group in late October 2005; however, it is possible that
the Nicewonder Acquisition will not be consummated in that time
period or at all. Closing of the acquisition of the Nicewonder
Coal Group is subject to certain conditions set forth in the
acquisition agreements, including securing financing, receiving
necessary regulatory approvals, entering into definitive
agreements with certain customers of the Nicewonder Coal Group,
receiving certain third party consents and other customary
conditions. Following the completion of the Nicewonder
Acquisition, the operations acquired from the Nicewonder Coal
Group will constitute a new eighth business unit, although we
may eventually integrate these operations into our seven
existing business units.
Competitive Strengths
We believe that the combination of the following competitive
strengths distinguishes us from our competitors.
We provide a comprehensive range of steam and metallurgical
coal products that are in high demand.
Our reserves enable
us to provide customers with coal products that are in high
demand — including high Btu, low sulfur steam coal,
and low, medium and high volatile metallurgical coal. Steam coal
customers value high Btu coal because it fuels electricity
generation more efficiently than lower energy content coal. In
addition, the demand for clean burning, low sulfur coal has
grown significantly since the implementation of sulfur emission
restrictions mandated by the Clean Air Act. Metallurgical coal
customers require precise coal characteristics to meet their
coke production specifications and generally value low volatile
metallurgical coal more highly than other categories of
metallurgical coal.
Our flexible mining operations and diversified asset base
allow us to manage costs while capitalizing on market
opportunities.
Our 64 active mines, 11 preparation plants
and seven regional business units are supported by flexible and
cost-effective use of our mining equipment and personnel. Our
underground mines use the room and pillar mining method with
continuous mining equipment, and our surface mines principally
use trucks, loaders and dozers. Our mining equipment is
interchangeable and can be redirected easily at a relatively low
cost, providing us with flexibility to respond to changing
geologic, operating and market conditions. The diversity of our
portfolio of mines and preparation plants allows us to move
resources between existing or new operations and limits our mine
concentration risk. This diversity also limits our mine
concentration risk, as the mine that produced the greatest
amount of our coal contributed only approximately 10% of our
production during 2004.
Our ability to provide customized product offerings creates
valuable market opportunities, strengthens our customer
relationships and improves profitability.
We have a
"customer-focused" marketing strategy that, combined
with our comprehensive range of coal product offerings and
established marketing network, enables us to customize our coal
deliveries to a customer's precise needs and
specifications. The products we sell to our customers will often
be a blend of internally produced coal and coal we have
purchased from third parties, in contrast to the more
traditional approach of only offering coal produced from captive
mines. Our blending capabilities give us a competitive advantage
in product source and composition. We use spot market coal to
optimize the mix delivered to our customers and to maximize the
profitability of each of our contracts. We believe our
commitment to providing high quality coal products designed to
our customers' specifications enables us to maintain strong
customer relationships while maximizing the value of our coal
reserves.
89
Table of Contents
Our primary operating focus is the Appalachian region, the
region with the most producer-favorable coal supply and demand
dynamics in the United States.
Our operations are focused on
Central and Northern Appalachia, which accounted for
approximately 72% and 28%, respectively, of the coal produced
from our mines during 2004. The Appalachian region has produced
declining supplies of coal in recent years while regional
demand, already the highest in the United States based on tons
consumed, is expected to increase due to growth in regional
demand for electricity. We believe these trends in Appalachian
coal supply and demand, the high quality of Appalachian coal and
the lower transportation costs that result from the proximity of
Appalachian producers and customers create favorable pricing
dynamics that provide us with an advantage over producers from
other regions.
Our Central Appalachian mining expertise provides us with
significant regional growth opportunities.
Our focus on the
Appalachian region has allowed us to develop expertise in
efficiently mining Central Appalachian reserves. Furthermore, we
have developed both a good understanding of the region's
transportation infrastructure and a favorable reputation with
the region's property owners, coal industry operators and
employee base.
Our comparatively low amount of long-term reclamation and
employee-related liabilities provides us with financial
flexibility.
As of June 30, 2005, we had total accrued
reclamation liabilities of $41.0 million, self-insured
workers' compensation liabilities of $5.9 million and
post-retirement obligations of $20.1 million, and we had no
pension liabilities and minimal black lung liabilities. We
believe the amount of these liabilities are among the lowest of
the publicly-traded U.S. coal producers. In addition,
because over 90% of our approximately 2,850 employees are
employed by our subsidiaries on a union-free basis as of
September 30, 2005, and approximately 95% of our coal
production during 2004 was produced from mines operated by
union-free employees, we are better able to minimize the types
of employee-related liabilities commonly associated with
union-represented mines. Similar to Alpha, the Nicewonder Coal
Group has a comparatively low amount of long-term reclamation
liabilities, and, as of June 30, 2005, had accrued
approximately $9.2 million for such liabilities. All of the
Nicewonder Coal Group's 394 employees are employed on a
union-free basis as of September 30, 2005.
Our management team has extensive coal industry experience
and has successfully integrated a number of acquisitions.
Our senior executives have, on average, more than 20 years
of experience in the coal industry, largely in the Appalachian
region, and they have substantial experience in increasing
productivity, reducing costs, implementing our marketing
strategy and coal blending capabilities, improving safety, and
developing and maintaining strong customer and employee
relationships. In addition to their operating strengths, the
majority of our senior executives have significant experience in
identifying, acquiring and integrating acquired coal companies
into existing organizations.
Business Strategy
We believe that we are well-positioned to enhance our position
as a leading Appalachian coal producer by continuing to
implement our strategy, which consists of the following key
components:
Achieve premium pricing and optimum efficiency in contract
fulfillment.
We intend to continue to use our diversified
operating strategy, coal blending capabilities, market knowledge
and strong marketing organization to identify and capitalize on
opportunities to generate premium pricing for our coal and to
achieve optimum efficiency in fulfillment of coal contracts. As
of October 6, 2005, approximately 20% of our planned
production for 2006 and 53% of our planned production for 2007
was uncommitted and was not yet priced, which we believe
provides us with significant price certainty in the short-term
while maintaining uncommitted planned production that allows us
to take an opportunistic approach to selling our coal. We
believe our planned Nicewonder Acquisition will further enhance
our ability to achieve premium pricing and optimum efficiency in
contract fulfillment. The Nicewonder Coal Group, which is
currently a 4.3 million ton per year operation, has 42% of
planned production for 2006 and 86% of planned production for
2007 uncommitted as of October 6, 2005.
Maximize profitability of our mining operations.
We
continuously reassess our reserves, mines and processing and
loading facilities in an effort to determine the optimum
operating configuration that maximizes our profitability,
efficient
90
Table of Contents
use of operating assets and return on invested capital. We
intend to continue to optimize the profitability of our mining
operations through a series of initiatives that include:
•
increasing production levels where we determine that such
    increased production can be profitably achieved;
•
leveraging our product offerings, blending capabilities and
    marketing organization to realize higher margins from our sales;
•
deploying our resources against the most profitable
    opportunities available in our asset portfolio;
•
consolidating regional operations and increasing the utilization
    of our existing preparation plants and loading facilities;
•
maintaining our focus on safety and implementing safety measures
    designed to keep our workforce injury free; and
•
coordinating company-wide purchasing activities with major
    vendors to provide materials and supplies at lower overall cost.
Pursue strategic value-creating acquisitions.
We have
successfully acquired and integrated businesses into our
operations, and we intend to continue to expand our business and
coal reserves through acquisitions of attractive, strategically
positioned assets. Although we intend to concentrate our efforts
in Appalachia, where we believe there remain attractive
acquisition opportunities, we will continue to evaluate
opportunities in other regions that meet our acquisition
criteria. We employ what we believe is a disciplined acquisition
strategy focused on acquiring coal and coal-related operations
and assets at attractive valuations. Some of the factors that we
consider in evaluating an acquisition candidate include:
•
the candidate's historical and projected financial
    performance;
•
the quality and quantity of the candidate's coal reserves,
    coal processing facilities and other coal production assets;
•
the extent to which the geographic location of the
    candidate's coal reserves, processing facilities, and
    access to transportation links and customers provides
    synergistic opportunities with our existing operations and
    assets;
•
the existing liabilities of the candidate, and whether the
    acquisition can be completed in a manner that limits our
    assumption of the candidate's long-term liabilities;
•
in situations where we retain existing management, the
    management's experience and relationship with the local
    community; and
•
the experience, terms of employment and union status of the
    candidate's employees and the terms of the candidate's
    contracts with third-party mine and processing facility
    operators.
We believe that our planned acquisition of the Nicewonder Coal
Group is consistent with this strategy.
Maintain a strong safety, labor relations and environmental
record.
One of our core values is protecting the health and
welfare of our employees by designing and implementing high
safety standards in the workplace. We also aim to preserve the
positive relationship we have developed with our employees.
There have been no material work stoppages at any of our
facilities since we were formed in 2002 or at any of our
Predecessor or acquired facilities in the past 10 years.
Furthermore, we aim to adhere to high standards in protecting
and preserving the environment in which we operate. For example,
in August 2004 we began implementing an environmental best
practices system across all of our subsidiaries' operations
that involves the development of specific environmental policies
and programs, advanced training of our environmental staff and
management, and periodic assessments to measure the level of our
environmental awareness and compliance.
Mining Methods
We produce coal using two mining methods:
underground
room and pillar mining using continuous mining equipment, and
surface mining, which are explained as follows:
Underground Mining.
Underground mines in the United
States are typically operated using one of two different
methods: room and pillar mining or longwall mining. In 2004,
approximately 82% of our produced coal volume came from
91
Table of Contents
underground mining operations using the room and pillar method
with continuous mining equipment. In room and pillar mining,
rooms are cut into the coal bed leaving a series of pillars, or
columns of coal, to help support the mine roof and control the
flow of air. Continuous mining equipment is used to cut the coal
from the mining face. Generally, openings are driven
20 feet wide and the pillars are generally rectangular in
shape measuring 35-50 feet wide by 35-80 feet long. As
mining advances, a grid-like pattern of entries and pillars is
formed. Shuttle cars are used to transport coal to the conveyor
belt for transport to the surface. When mining advances to the
end of a panel, retreat mining may begin. In retreat mining, as
much coal as is feasible is mined from the pillars that were
created in advancing the panel, allowing the roof to cave. When
retreat mining is completed to the mouth of the panel, the mined
panel is abandoned. The room and pillar method is often used to
mine smaller coal blocks or thin or non-contiguous seams, and
seam recovery ranges from 35% to 70%, with higher seam recovery
rates applicable where retreat mining is combined with room and
pillar mining. Productivity for continuous room and pillar
mining in the United States averages 3.5 tons per employee
per hour, according to the EIA.
The other underground mining method commonly used in the United
States is the longwall mining method, which we do not currently
use at any of our mines. In longwall mining, a rotating drum is
trammed mechanically across the face of coal, and a hydraulic
system supports the roof of the mine while it advances through
the coal. Chain conveyors then move the loosened coal to an
underground mine conveyor system for delivery to the surface.
Surface Mining.
Surface mining is used when coal is found
close to the surface. In 2004, approximately 18% of our produced
coal volume (approximately 32% on a pro forma basis after giving
effect to the Nicewonder Acquisition) came from surface mines.
This method involves the removal of overburden (earth and rock
covering the coal) with heavy earth-moving equipment and
explosives, loading out the coal, replacing the overburden and
topsoil after the coal has been excavated and reestablishing
vegetation and plant life and making other improvements that
have local community and environmental benefit. Overburden is
typically removed at our mines by either hydraulic shovels or
front-end loaders which place the overburden into large trucks.
We also operate a fine coal recovery dredge operation which we
consider to be a surface mine. Seam recovery for surface mining
is typically 90% or more. Productivity depends on equipment,
geological composition and mining ratios and averages 4.8
tons per employee per hour in eastern regions of the United
States, according to the EIA.
Existing Mining Operations
We have seven regional business units as of September 15,
2005, including two in Virginia, three in West Virginia, one in
Pennsylvania and one in Kentucky. As of September 15, 2005,
these business units include 11 preparation plants, each of
which receive, blend, process and ship coal that is produced
from one or more of our 64 active mines (some of which are
operated by third parties under contracts with us), using two
mining methods, underground room and pillar and surface mining.
Our underground mines generally consist of one or more single or
dual continuous miner sections which are made up of the
continuous miner, shuttle cars, roof bolters and various
ancillary equipment. Our surface mines are a combination of
mountain top removal, contour and auger operations using
truck/loader equipment fleets along with large production
tractors. Most of our preparation plants are modern heavy media
plants that generally have both coarse and fine coal cleaning
circuits. We employ preventive maintenance and rebuild programs
to ensure that our equipment is modern and well-maintained.
During 2004, most of our preparation plants also processed coal
that we purchased from third-party producers before reselling it
to our customers. Within each regional business unit, mines have
been developed at strategic locations in close proximity to our
preparation plants and rail shipping facilities. Coal is
transported from our regional business units to customers by
means of railroads, trucks, barge lines and ocean-going vessels
from terminal facilities. The

The coal production and processing capacity of our mines and
processing plants is influenced by a number of factors including
reserve availability, labor availability, environmental permit
timing and preparation plant capacity. We have obtained permits
for and are currently in the process of developing Deep Mine 35
in Virginia to be operated by our Paramont business unit,
Madison deep mine in Pennsylvania which is operated by our
AMFIRE business unit, Seven Pines surface mine in West Virginia
which is operated by our Brooks Run business unit and Cucumber
deep mine in West Virginia to be operated by our Welch business
unit. We anticipate spending approximately $60.0 million
developing these mines during 2005. We expect these mines to
begin production at various times during 2005 and to reach full
production capacity of approximately 2.8 million tons by
the end of 2006, some of which is intended to replace existing
production from contract-operated deep mines in Virginia and
West Virginia that are being depleted or decommissioned. We
expect the majority of this new production to be metallurgical
coal.
The following provides a brief description of our business units
as of September 15, 2005.
Paramont.
Our Paramont business unit produces coal from
nine underground mines using continuous miners and the room and
pillar mining method. Three of the underground mines are
operated by independent contractors. The coal from these
underground mines is transported by truck to the Toms Creek
preparation plant operated by Paramont, or the McClure River or
Moss #3 preparation plants operated by Dickenson-Russell.
At the preparation plant, the coal is cleaned, blended and
loaded onto rail for shipment to customers. Paramont also
operates five truck/loader surface mines. Three of these surface
mines are operated by independent contractors. The coal produced
by the surface mines is transported to one of our preparation
plants or raw coal loading docks where it is blended and loaded
onto rail for shipment to customers. During 2004, Paramont
purchased approximately 98,000 tons of coal from third parties
that was blended with Paramont's coal and shipped to our
customers. As of September 15, 2005, the Paramont business
unit was operating at a capacity to ship approximately six
million tons per year.
Dickenson-Russell.
Our Dickenson-Russell business unit
produces coal from six underground mines using continuous miners
and the room and pillar mining method. Two of the underground
mines are operated by independent contractors. The coal from
these underground mines is transported by truck to the McClure
River or Moss #3 preparation plants operated by
Dickenson-Russell or the Toms Creek preparation plant operated
by Paramont where it is cleaned, blended and loaded on rail or
truck for shipment to customers. The Dickenson-Russell business
unit also operates a fine coal recovery dredge operation where
fine coals that were previously discarded by the coal cleaning
process are recovered, cleaned, and
93
Table of Contents
blended with other coals for sale. During 2004,
Dickenson-Russell purchased approximately 3,000 tons of coal
from third parties that was blended with
Dickenson-Russell's coal and shipped to our customers. As
of September 15, 2005, the Dickenson-Russell business unit
was operating at a capacity to ship approximately two million
tons per year.
Kingwood.
Our Kingwood business unit produces coal from
one underground mine using continuous miners and the room and
pillar mining method. The Kingwood operation is staffed and
operated by Kingwood employees. The coal is belted to the
Whitetail preparation plant operated by Kingwood where it is
cleaned and loaded onto rail or truck for shipment to customers.
The Kingwood business unit has no surface mining operations.
During 2004, Kingwood purchased approximately 44,000 tons of
coal from third parties that was blended with Kingwood's
coal and shipped to our customers. As of September 15,
2005, the Kingwood business unit was operating at a capacity to
ship approximately one and one-half million tons per year.
Brooks Run.
Our Brooks Run business unit produces coal
from three underground mines using continuous miners and the
room and pillar mining method. All of the mining operations at
the Brooks Run business unit are staffed and operated by Brooks
Run employees. The coal is transported by truck to the Erbacon
preparation plant operated by Brooks Run where it is cleaned,
blended and loaded onto rail for shipment to customers. The
Brooks Run business unit has one surface mine operated with
Brooks Run employees. Brooks Run purchased no coal from third
parties in 2004. As of September 15, 2005, the Brooks Run
business unit was operating at a capacity to ship approximately
two and one-half million tons per year.
Welch.
Our Welch business unit produces coal from fifteen
underground mines using continuous miners and the room and
pillar mining method. Three of the underground mines are
operated by our employees, and the others are operated by
independent contractors. The coal is transported by truck or
rail to the coal preparation plants operated by Welch where it
is cleaned, blended and loaded onto rail for shipment to
customers. The Welch business unit has no active surface mining
operations as of September 15, 2005. During 2004, the Welch
business unit purchased approximately 503,000 tons of coal from
third parties that was blended with other coals and shipped to
our customers. As of September 15, 2005, the Welch business
unit was operating at a capacity to ship approximately two and
three-quarter million tons per year.
AMFIRE.
Our AMFIRE business unit produces coal from six
underground mines using continuous miners and the room and
pillar mining method. All of the underground mining operations
at AMFIRE are staffed and operated by AMFIRE employees. The
underground coal is delivered directly by truck to the customer,
or to the Clymer or Portage coal preparation plants or raw coal
loading docks where it is cleaned, blended and loaded onto rail
or truck for shipment to customers. AMFIRE also operates ten
truck/loader surface mines. Five of the surface mines are
operated by independent contractors. The surface mined coal is
delivered directly by truck to the customer or transported to
the Clymer or Portage coal preparation plants or raw coal
loading docks where it is blended and loaded onto rail or truck
for shipment to customers. During 2004, AMFIRE purchased
approximately 175,000 tons of coal from third parties that was
blended with AMFIRE's coal and shipped to our customers. As
of September 15, 2005, the AMFIRE business unit was
operating at a capacity to ship approximately four million tons
per year.
Enterprise.
Our Enterprise business unit produces coal
from four underground mines using continuous miners and the room
and pillar mining method. All of the underground mining
operations at Enterprise are staffed and operated by Enterprise
employees. The coal from these underground mines is transported
by truck to the Roxana coal preparation plant operated by
Enterprise where it is cleaned, blended and loaded onto rail for
shipment to customers. Enterprise also has three truck/loader
surface mines which are operated by independent contractors. The
coal produced by the surface mines is transported to the Roxana
preparation plant where it is blended and loaded onto rail for
shipment to customers. During 2004, Enterprise purchased
approximately 52,000 tons of coal from third parties that was
blended with Enterprise's coal and shipped to our
customers. As of September 15, 2005, the Enterprise
business unit was operating at a capacity to ship approximately
one and one-half million tons per year.
Nicewonder Operations
Following the completion of the Nicewonder Acquisition, the
operations acquired from the Nicewonder Coal Group will
constitute a new eighth business unit, although we may
eventually integrate these operations into our seven existing
94
Table of Contents
business units. The following provides a brief description of
each of the four primary mining operations of the Nicewonder
Coal Group as of September 15, 2005:
White Flame Energy.
White Flame Energy operates a surface
mine located in Mingo County, West Virginia, producing low
sulfur coal. Coal from this surface mine is transported by truck
to the Mate Creek rail load-out facility located on the Norfolk
Southern Line, where it is blended with production from NCI and
sold to customers. During 2004, White Flame Energy produced
1.8 million tons of steam coal. As of September 15,
2005, White Flame Energy was operating at a capacity to ship
approximately 1.8 million tons per year.
Premium Energy.
Premium operates a surface mine in Mingo
and Logan counties, West Virginia, producing high quality steam
and metallurgical coals. The coal produced by Premium is
currently transported to Arch Coal, Inc.'s Mingo Logan
mining complex by off road haul. Historically, the vast majority
of Premium's production has been sold exclusively to Mingo
Logan. In conjunction with the Nicewonder Acquisition,
Nicewonder has agreed to renegotiate the coal sales contract
with Arch Coal, reducing the volume to approximately
1.3 million tons in 2006 and 0.6 million tons in 2007,
and terminating thereafter. Mingo Logan will continue to process
and load the Premium Energy production for a negotiated price
per ton. During 2004, Premium produced 1.7 million tons of
metallurgical grade coal and steam coal. As of
September 15, 2005, Premium was operating at a capacity to
ship approximately 1.6 million tons per year.
Twin Star.
The operations of Twin Star, together with
Buchanan Energy and Virginia Energy Company, include one surface
mine in Buchanan County, Virginia, which during 2004 produced
approximately 0.4 million tons of coal that were sold into
the steam and metallurgical markets. As of September 15,
2005, Twin Star was operating at a capacity to ship
approximately 0.4 million tons per year.
Nicewonder Contracting (NCI).
NCI operates a highway
construction business under a contract with the State of West
Virginia Department of Transportation. Pursuant to the contract,
NCI is building approximately 11 miles of rough grade
highway in West Virginia over the next six to seven years and,
in exchange NCI will be compensated by West Virginia based on
the number of cubic yards of material excavated and/or filled to
create a road bed, as well as for certain other cost components.
In the course of road construction, NCI will recover any coal
encountered and sell the coal to its customers, subject to
certain costs including coal loading, transportation, coal
royalty payments and applicable taxes and fees. During 2004, NCI
produced approximately 45,000 tons of coal. As of
September 15, 2005, NCI was operating at a capacity to ship
approximately 0.5 million tons per year.
Coal Characteristics
In general, coal of all geological compositions is characterized
by end use as either steam coal or metallurgical coal. Heat
value, sulfur, ash and moisture content, and coking
characteristics such as fluidity, Audibert-Arnu dilatometer
(ARNU) scores and volatility in the case of metallurgical
coal, are the most important variables in the profitable
marketing and transportation of coal. These characteristics
determine the best end use of a particular type of coal. We
mine, process, market and transport bituminous coal,
characteristics of which are described below.
Heat Value.
The heat value of coal is commonly measured
in British thermal units, or "Btus." A Btu is the
amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one pound of
water by one degree Fahrenheit. All of our coal is bituminous
coal, a "soft" black coal with a heat content that
ranges from 9,500 to 15,000 Btus per pound. This coal is located
primarily in Appalachia, Arizona, the Midwest, Colorado and Utah
and is the type most commonly used for electric power generation
in the United States. Bituminous coal is also used for
metallurgical and industrial steam purposes. Of our estimated
492.2 million tons of proven and probable reserves,
approximately 94% has a heat content above 12,500 Btus per pound.
Sulfur Content.
Sulfur content can vary from seam to seam
and sometimes within each seam. When coal is burned, it produces
sulfur dioxide, the amount of which varies depending on the
chemical composition and the concentration of sulfur in the
coal. Low sulfur coals are coals which have a sulfur content of
1.5% or less. Demand for low sulfur coal has increased, and is
expected to continue to increase, as generators of electricity
strive to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions to comply with
increasingly stringent emission standards in environmental laws
and regulations. Approximately 89% of our proven and probable
reserves are low sulfur coal.
High sulfur coal can be burned in plants equipped with
sulfur-reduction technology, such as scrubbers, which can reduce
sulfur dioxide emissions by 50% to 90%. Plants without scrubbers
can burn high sulfur coal by blending it with lower sulfur coal
or by purchasing emission allowances on the open market,
allowing the user to emit a predetermined
95
Table of Contents
amount of sulfur dioxide. Some older coal-fired plants have been
retrofitted with scrubbers, although most have shifted to lower
sulfur coals as their principal strategy for complying with
Phase II of the Clean Air Act's Acid Rain regulations.
We expect that any new coal-fired generation plant built in the
United States will use clean coal-burning technology.
Ash and Moisture Content.
Ash is the inorganic residue
remaining after the combustion of coal. As with sulfur content,
ash content varies from seam to seam. Ash content is an
important characteristic of coal because electric generating
plants must handle and dispose of ash following combustion. The
absence of ash is also important to the process by which
metallurgical coal is transformed into coke for use in steel
production. Moisture content of coal varies by the type of coal
and the region where it is mined. In general, high moisture
content decreases the heat value and increases the weight of the
coal, thereby making it more expensive to transport. Moisture
content in coal, as sold, can range from approximately 5% to 30%
of the coal's weight.
Coking Characteristics.
The coking characteristics of
metallurgical coal are typically measured by the coal's
fluidity, ARNU and volatility. Fluidity and ARNU tests measure
the expansion and contraction of coal when it is heated under
laboratory conditions to determine the strength of coke that
could be produced from a given coal. Typically, higher numbers
on these tests indicate higher coke strength. Volatility refers
to the loss in mass, less moisture, when coal is heated in the
absence of air. The volatility of metallurgical coal determines
the percentage of feed coal that actually becomes coke, known as
coke yield. Coal with a lower volatility produces a higher coke
yield and is more highly valued than coal with a higher
volatility, all other metallurgical characteristics being equal.
Existing Coal Reserves
We estimate that, as of July 31, 2005, we had total proven
and probable reserves of approximately 492.2 million tons.
We believe that our total proven and probable reserves will
support current production levels for more than 25 years.
"Reserves" are defined by SEC Industry Guide 7 as that
part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and
legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve
determination. "Proven (Measured) Reserves" are
defined by SEC Industry Guide 7 as reserves for which
(1) quantity is computed from dimensions revealed in
outcrops, trenches, workings or drill holes; grade and/or
quality are computed from the results of detailed sampling and
(2) the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are
spaced so closely and the geologic character is so well defined
that size, shape, depth and mineral content of reserves are
well-established. "Probable reserves" are defined by
SEC Industry Guide 7 as reserves for which quantity and grade
and/or quality are computed from information similar to that
used for proven (measured) reserves, but the sites for
inspection, sampling, and measurement are farther apart or are
otherwise less adequately spaced. The degree of assurance,
although lower than that for proven (measured) reserves, is
high enough to assume continuity between points of observation.
Information about our reserves consists of estimates based on
engineering, economic and geological data assembled and analyzed
by our internal engineers, geologists and finance associates. We
periodically update our reserve estimates to reflect past coal
production, new drilling information and other geological or
mining data, and acquisitions or sales of coal properties. Coal
tonnages are categorized according to coal quality, mining
method, permit status, mineability and location relative to
existing mines and infrastructure. In accordance with applicable
industry standards, proven reserves are those for which reliable
data points are spaced no more than 2,700 feet apart.
Probable reserves are those for which reliable data points are
spaced 2,700 feet to 7,900 feet apart. Further
scrutiny is applied using geological criteria and other factors
related to profitable extraction of the coal. These criteria
include seam height, roof and floor conditions, yield and
marketability.
We periodically retain outside experts to independently verify
our estimates of our coal reserves. The most recent of these
reviews, completed in November 2004, included the preparation of
reserve maps and the development of estimates by certified
professional geologists based on data supplied by us and using
standards accepted by government and industry, including the
methodology outlined in U.S. Geological Survey Circular
891. Reserve estimates were developed using criteria to assure
that the basic geologic characteristics of the reserves (such as
minimum coal thickness and wash recovery, interval between deep
mineable seams and mineable area tonnage for economic
extraction) were in reasonable conformity with existing and
recently completed mine operation capabilities on our various
properties. As a result of this report, we increased our reserve
estimate from 326.5 million tons as of January 1, 2004
to 514.5 million tons as of October 15, 2004.
As with most coal-producing companies in Appalachia, the great
majority of our coal reserves are subject to leases from
third-party landowners. These leases convey mining rights to the
coal producer in exchange for a percentage of gross sales in the
form of a royalty payment to the lessor, subject to minimum
payments. A small portion of our reserve holdings
96
Table of Contents
are owned and require no royalty or per-ton payment to other
parties. The average royalties paid by us for coal reserves from
our producing properties was $2.37 per ton in 2004,
representing approximately 4% of our 2004 coal sales revenue.
Although our coal leases have varying renewal terms and
conditions, they generally last for the economic life of the
reserves. According to our current mine plans, any leased
reserves assigned to a currently active operation will be mined
during the tenure of the applicable lease. Because the great
majority of our leased or owned properties and mineral rights
are covered by detailed title abstracts prepared when the
respective properties were acquired by predecessors in title to
us and our current lessors, we generally do not thoroughly
verify title to, or maintain title insurance policies on, our
leased or owned properties and mineral rights.

Nicewonder Coal Reserves
In connection with the Nicewonder Acquisition, we asked Marshall
Miller & Associates ("MM&A") to prepare a
detailed study of the coal reserves of the Nicewonder Coal Group
based on available geological information. The coal reserve
study conducted by MM&A was planned and performed to obtain
reasonable assurance of the proven and probable coal reserves of
the Nicewonder Coal Group. In connection with the study,
MM&A prepared reserve maps and developed estimates based on
data provided to us by the sellers and using standards accepted
by government and industry. After reviewing such maps and
information, MM&A prepared an independent mapping and
estimate of the proven and probable reserves of the Nicewonder
Coal Group using methodology outlined in U.S. Geological
Survey Circular 891. Reserve estimates were developed using
criteria to assure that the basic geologic characteristics of
the reserves (such as minimum coal thickness and wash recovery,
interval between deep mineable seams and mineable area tonnage
for economic extraction) were in reasonable conformity with
existing and recently completed mine operation capabilities on
our various properties.

Marketing, Sales and Customer Contracts
Our marketing and sales force, which is principally based in
Latrobe, Pennsylvania, included 30 employees as of
September 30, 2005, and consists of sales managers,
distribution/traffic managers and administrative personnel. In
addition to selling coal produced in our seven regional business
units, we are also actively involved in the purchase and resale
of coal mined by others, the majority of which we blend with
coal produced from our mines. We have coal supply commitments
with a wide range of electric utilities, steel manufacturers,
industrial customers and energy traders and brokers. Our overall
sales philosophy is to focus first on the customer's
individual needs and specifications, as opposed to simply
selling our production inventory. By offering coal of both steam
and metallurgical grades blended to provide specific qualities
of heat content, sulfur and ash and other characteristics
relevant to our customers, we are able to serve a diverse
customer base. This diversity allows us to adjust to changing
market conditions and provides us with the ability to sustain
high sales volumes and sales prices for our coal. Many of our
larger customers are well-established public utilities who have
been customers of ours or our Predecessor and acquired companies
for decades.
We sold a total of 12.2 million tons of coal in the first
six months of 2005, consisting of 9.8 million tons of
produced and processed coal and 2.4 million tons of
purchased coal that we resold without processing. Of our total
purchased coal sales of 3.0 million tons in the first six months
of 2005, approximately 2.2 million tons were blended prior
to resale, meaning the coal was mixed with coal produced from
our mines prior to resale, which generally allows us to realize
a higher overall margin for the blended product than we would be
able to achieve selling these coals separately. Approximately
0.6 million tons of our purchased coal sales during the
first six months of 2005 were processed by us, meaning we
washed, crushed or blended the coal at one of our preparation
plants or loading facilities prior to resale. We sold a total of
25.3 million tons of coal in 2004, consisting of
18.9 million tons of produced and processed coal and
6.4 million tons of purchased coal that we resold without
99
Table of Contents
processing. Of our total purchased coal sales of
7.3 million tons in 2004, approximately 5.9 million
tons were blended prior to resale. Approximately
0.9 million tons of our 2004 purchased coal sales were
processed by us. We sold a total of 21.6 million tons of
coal in 2003, consisting of 17.7 million tons of produced
and processed coal and 3.9 million tons of purchased coal
that we resold without processing. Of our total purchased coal
sales of 5.4 million tons in 2003, approximately
1.5 million tons were processed prior to resale. The
breakdown of tons sold by market served for the first six months
of 2005 and for 2004 and 2003 is set forth in the table below:

Steam coal sales include sales to utility and industrial
    customers. Sales of steam coal to industrial customers, who we
    define as consumers of steam coal who do not generate
    electricity for sale to third parties, accounted for
    approximately 3%, 4% and 5% of total sales in the first six
    months of 2005 and 2004 and 2003, respectively.
We sold coal to over 130 different customers in 2004. Our top
ten customers in 2004 accounted for approximately 39% of 2004
revenues and our largest customer during 2004 accounted for
approximately 8% of 2004 revenues. The following table provides

Export sales revenues in 2004 include approximately
    $4.0 million in equipment export sales. All other export
    sales revenues are coal sales revenues and freight and handling
    revenues.
Our export shipments during 2004 and 2003 serviced customers in
18 and 11 countries, respectively, across North America,
Europe, South America, Asia and Africa. Japan was our largest
export market in 2004 with sales to Japan accounting for
approximately 23% of export revenues and approximately 11% of
total revenues in 2004, while Canada was our largest export
market in 2003, with sales to Canada accounting for
approximately 40% of export revenues and approximately 11% of
total revenues in 2003. All of our sales are made in
U.S. dollars, which reduces foreign currency risk. A
portion of our sales are subject to seasonal fluctuation, with
sales to certain customers being curtailed during the winter
months due to the freezing of lakes that we use to transport
coal to those customers.
As is customary in the coal industry, when market conditions are
appropriate and particularly in the steam coal market, we enter
into long-term contracts (exceeding one year in duration) with
many of our customers. These arrangements allow customers to
secure a supply for their future needs and provide us with
greater predictability of sales volume and sales prices. A
significant majority of our steam coal sales are shipped under
long-term contracts. During 2003, most of our contracts to
supply metallurgical coal were entered into on a one-year
rolling basis or on a current market or spot basis. However, due
to market conditions, the majority of the metallurgical coal
sales contracts we entered into during 2004 were long-term
contracts. Approximately 83% and 55% of our steam and
metallurgical coal sales volume in 2004, respectively, was
delivered pursuant to long-term contracts.
As of October 6, 2005, we had contracts to sell
substantially all of our planned 2005 production, including
sales commitments for approximately 21.1 million tons, of
which 12.0 million tons are steam coal and 9.1 million
tons are metallurgical coal. We also had contracts to sell 80%
of planned 2006 production, including sales commitments for
approximately 16.5 million tons, of which 10.4 million
tons are steam coal and 6.1 million tons are metallurgical
coal, and contracts to sell 47% of planned 2007 production,
including sales commitments for approximately 10.0 million
tons, of which 6.7 million tons are steam coal and
3.3 million tons are metallurgical coal. In addition, as of
October 6, 2005, we had commitments to
purchase 2.9 million, 2.1 million and
0.5 million tons of coal during 2005, 2006 and 2007,
respectively.
100
Table of Contents
As of October 6, 2005, the Nicewonder Coal Group had
contracts to sell approximately 58% of its planned 2006
production and approximately 14% of its planned production for
2007.
The terms of our contracts result from bidding and negotiations
with customers. Consequently, the terms of these contracts
typically vary significantly in many respects, including price
adjustment features, provisions permitting renegotiation or
modification of coal sale prices, coal quality requirements,
quantity parameters, flexibility and adjustment mechanisms,
permitted sources of supply, treatment of environmental
constraints, options to extend and force majeure, suspension,
termination and assignment provisions, and provisions regarding
the allocation between the parties of the cost of complying with
future governmental regulations.
Distribution
We employ transportation specialists who negotiate freight and
terminal agreements with various providers, including railroads,
trucks, barge lines, and terminal facilities. Transportation
specialists also coordinate with customers, mining facilities
and transportation providers to establish shipping schedules
that meet the customer's needs. Our coal sales of
25.3 million tons during 2004 were loaded from our 11
preparation plants and in certain cases directly from our mines
and, in the case of purchased coal, in some cases directly from
mines and preparation plants operated by third parties or from
an export terminal. Virtually all of our coal is transported
from the mine to our preparation plants by truck or rail, and
then from the preparation plant to the customer by means of
railroads, trucks, barge lines and ocean-going vessels from
terminal facilities. Rail shipments constituted approximately
79% of total shipments of captive produced and processed coal
volume from the preparation plant to the customer in 2004. The
balance was shipped from our preparation plants, loadout
facilities or mines via truck. In 2004, approximately 11% of our
coal sales were ultimately delivered to customers through
transport on the Great Lakes, approximately 14% was moved
through the Norfolk Southern export facility at Norfolk,
Virginia, approximately 6% was moved through the coal export
terminal at Newport News, Virginia operated by Dominion Terminal
Associates, and 5% was moved through the export terminal at
Baltimore, Maryland. We own a 32.5% interest in the coal export
terminal at Newport News, Virginia operated by Dominion Terminal
Associates. See "— Other Operations." Of the
3.7 million tons of coal sold by the Nicewonder Coal Group
in 2004, 55% was shipped via the Norfolk Southern Rail, and the
remaining 45% was delivered via truck to other coal companies
for resale.
Competition
With respect to our U.S. customers, we compete with
numerous coal producers in the Appalachian region and with a
large number of western coal producers in the markets that we
serve. Competition from coal with lower production costs shipped
east from western coal mines has resulted in increased
competition for coal sales in the Appalachian region. We face
limited competition from imports for our domestic customers. In
2004, only 2.5% of total U.S. coal consumption was
imported. Excess industry capacity, which has occurred in the
past, tends to result in reduced prices for our coal. The most
important factors on which we compete are delivered coal price,
coal quality and characteristics, transportation costs from the
mine to the customer and the reliability of supply. Demand for
coal and the prices that we will be able to obtain for our coal
are closely linked to coal consumption patterns of the domestic
electric generation industry, which has accounted for
approximately 91% of domestic coal consumption over the last
five years. These coal consumption patterns are influenced by
factors beyond our control, including the demand for
electricity, which is significantly dependent upon summer and
winter temperatures in the United States, environmental and
other government regulations, technological developments and the
location, availability, quality and price of competing fuels for
power such as natural gas, nuclear, fuel oil and alternative
energy sources such as hydroelectric power. Demand for our low
sulfur coal and the prices that we will be able to obtain for it
will also be affected by the price and availability of high
sulfur coal, which can be marketed in tandem with emissions
allowances in order to meet Clean Air Act requirements.
Demand for our metallurgical coal and the prices that we will be
able to obtain for metallurgical coal will depend to a large
extent on the demand for U.S. and international steel, which is
influenced by factors beyond our control, including overall
economic activity and the availability and relative cost of
substitute materials. In the export metallurgical market, during
2004 we largely competed with producers from Australia, Canada,
and other international producers of metallurgical coal.
In addition to competition for coal sales in the United States
and internationally, we compete with other coal producers,
particularly in the Appalachian region, for the services of
experienced coal industry employees at all levels of our mining
operations.

Other Operations
We have other operations and activities in addition to our
normal coal production, processing and sales business, including:
Maxxim Rebuild Company.
We own Maxxim Rebuild Company,
LLC, a mining equipment company with facilities in Kentucky and
Virginia. This business largely consists of repairing and
reselling equipment and parts used in surface mining and in
supporting preparation plant operations. Maxxim Rebuild had
revenues of $20.8 million for 2004, of which approximately
22% was generated by services provided to our other subsidiaries
and approximately 19% was generated by equipment sales to export
customers. As part of our planned acquisition of the Nicewonder
Coal Group, we will acquire the equity interests of Powers Shop,
LLC, a mining equipment repair business similar to our existing
Maxxim Rebuild business.
Dominion Terminal Associates.
Through our subsidiary
Alpha Terminal Company, LLC, we hold a 32.5% interest in
Dominion Terminal Associates, a 22 million-ton annual
capacity coal export terminal located in Newport News, Virginia.
The terminal, constructed in 1982, provides the advantages of
state of the art unloading/transloading equipment with ground
storage capability, providing producers with the ability to
custom blend export products without disrupting mining
operations. During 2004, we shipped a total of 1.4 million
tons of coal to our customers through the terminal. We make
periodic cash payments in respect of the terminal for operating
expenses, which are offset by payments we receive for
transportation incentive payments and for renting our unused
storage space in the terminal to third parties. Our cash
payments for expenses for the terminal in 2004 were
$3.3 million, partially offset by payments received in 2004
of $1.8 million. The terminal is held in a partnership with
subsidiaries of three other companies, Dominion Energy (20%),
Arch Coal (17.5%) and Peabody Energy (30%). Alpha Terminal
Company and its other interested partners are currently pursuing
a $20-$25 million investment in the construction of a new
coal import facility at the terminal. Engineering work on the
project should be completed by the end of 2005, at which point
the cost of the project will be submitted to the participating
partners for approval.
Miscellaneous.
We engage in the sale of certain
non-strategic assets such as timber, gas and oil rights as well
as the leasing and sale of non-strategic surface properties and
reserves. We also provide coal and environmental analysis
services.
Employee and Labor Relations
Approximately 95% of our coal production in 2004 came from mines
operated by union-free employees, and as of September 30,
2005, over 90% of our subsidiaries' approximately 2,850
employees were union-free. We believe our employee relations are
good and there have been no material work stoppages at any of
our subsidiaries' properties in the past ten years.
Nicewonder Coal Group employed 394 employees as of
September 30, 2005, all of whom were employed on a
union-free basis.
Legal Proceedings
General.
From time to time, we are involved in litigation
and administrative proceedings which arise in the ordinary
course of our business. Management does not believe that any of
the litigation or proceedings in which we are currently
involved, either individually or in the aggregate, are likely to
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, operating results or cash flows.
Nicewonder Litigation.
The Association of Construction
Trades brought an action against Nicewonder Contracting, Inc.
("NCI") and the West Virginia Department of
Transportation, Division of Highways in the United States
District Court in the Southern District of West Virginia.
(
The Affiliated Construction Trades Foundation v. West
Virginia Department of Transportation and Nicewonder Contracting
Inc.
, (SDWV CA No. 2:04-1344)). The plaintiff seeks a
declaration that the contract between NCI and the State of West
Virginia related to NCI's road construction project is
illegal as a violation of applicable West Virginia and federal
competitive bidding and prevailing wage laws. The plaintiff also
is seeking an injunction prohibiting performance of the contract
but has not sought monetary damages. The sellers in the
Nicewonder Acquisition have agreed to indemnify us for any
losses we may incur as a result of this litigation, net of the
net revenues of NCI from post-acquisition coal sales and the
value of certain reserves, surface property and mining equipment
of NCI.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER REGULATORY MATTERS
Federal, state and local authorities regulate the U.S. coal
mining industry with respect to matters such as employee health
and safety, permitting and licensing requirements, air quality
standards, water pollution, plant and wildlife protection, the
reclamation and restoration of mining properties after mining
has been completed, the discharge of materials into the
environment, surface subsidence from underground mining, and the
effects of mining on groundwater quality and availability. These
regulations and legislation have had, and will continue to have,
a significant effect on our production costs and our competitive
position. Future legislation, regulations or orders, as well as
future interpretations and more rigorous enforcement of existing
laws, regulations or orders, may require substantial increases
in equipment and operating costs to us and delays,
interruptions, or a termination of operations, the extent of
which we cannot predict. We intend to respond to these
regulatory requirements at the appropriate time by implementing
necessary modifications to facilities or operating procedures.
Future legislation, regulations or orders may also cause coal to
become a less attractive fuel source, thereby reducing
coal's share of the market for fuels used to generate
electricity. As a result, future legislation, regulations or
orders may adversely affect our mining operations, cost
structure or the ability of our customers to use coal.
We endeavor to conduct our mining operations in compliance with
all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
However, because of extensive and comprehensive regulatory
requirements, violations occur from time to time. None of the
violations or the monetary penalties assessed upon us since our
inception in 2002 have been material. Nonetheless, we expect
that future liability under or compliance with environmental and
safety requirements could have a material effect on our
operations or competitive position. Under some circumstances,
substantial fines and penalties, including revocation or
suspension of mining permits, may be imposed under the laws
described below. Monetary sanctions and, in severe
circumstances, criminal sanctions may be imposed for failure to
comply with these laws.
As of June 30, 2005, we had accrued $41.0 million for
reclamation liabilities and mine closures, including
$6.7 million of current liabilities.
Mining Permits and Approvals.
Numerous governmental
permits or approvals are required for mining operations. When we
apply for these permits and approvals, we may be required to
present data to federal, state or local authorities pertaining
to the effect or impact that any proposed production or
processing of coal may have upon the environment. The
requirements imposed by any of these authorities may be costly
and time consuming and may delay commencement or continuation of
mining operations. Regulations also provide that a mining permit
or modification can be delayed, refused or revoked if an
officer, director or a stockholder with a 10% or greater
interest in the entity is affiliated with or is in a position to
control another entity that has outstanding permit violations.
Thus, past or ongoing violations of federal and state mining
laws could provide a basis to revoke existing permits and to
deny the issuance of additional permits.
In order to obtain mining permits and approvals from state
regulatory authorities, mine operators, including us, must
submit a reclamation plan for restoring, upon the completion of
mining operations, the mined property to its prior or better
condition, productive use or other permitted condition.
Typically, we submit our necessary permit applications several
months, or even years, before we plan to begin mining a new
area. Although permits may take six months or longer to obtain,
in the past we have generally obtained our mining permits
without significant delay. However, we cannot be sure that we
will not experience difficulty in obtaining mining permits in
the future.
Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act.
The Surface
Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 ("SMCRA"),
which is administered by the Office of Surface Mining
Reclamation and Enforcement ("OSM"), establishes
mining, environmental protection and reclamation standards for
all aspects of surface mining as well as many aspects of deep
mining. Mine operators must obtain SMCRA permits and permit
renewals from the OSM or the applicable state agency. Where
state regulatory agencies have adopted federal mining programs
under SMCRA, the state becomes the regulatory authority. States
in which we have active mining operations have achieved primary
control of enforcement through federal authorization.
SMCRA permit provisions include a complex set of requirements
which include: coal prospecting; mine plan development;
topsoil removal, storage and replacement; selective handling of
overburden materials; mine pit backfilling and grading;
protection of the hydrologic balance; subsidence control for
underground mines; surface drainage control; mine drainage and
mine discharge control and treatment; and re-vegetation.
The mining permit application process is initiated by collecting
baseline data to adequately characterize the pre-mine
environmental condition of the permit area. This work includes
surveys of cultural and historical resources, soils, vegetation,
103
Table of Contents
wildlife, assessment of surface and ground water hydrology,
climatology, and wetlands. In conducting this work, we collect
geologic data to define and model the soil and rock structures
and coal that we will mine. We develop mining and reclamation
plans by utilizing this geologic data and incorporating elements
of the environmental data. The mining and reclamation plan
incorporates the provisions of SMCRA, the state programs, and
the complementary environmental programs that affect coal
mining. Also included in the permit application are documents
defining ownership and agreements pertaining to coal, minerals,
oil and gas, water rights, rights of way and surface land, and
documents required of the OSM's Applicant Violator System,
including the mining and compliance history of officers,
directors and principal owners of the entity.
Once a permit application is prepared and submitted to the
regulatory agency, it goes through a completeness review and
technical review. Public notice of the proposed permit is given
that also provides for a comment period before a permit can be
issued. Some SMCRA mine permits take over a year to prepare,
depending on the size and complexity of the mine and may take
six months to two years or even longer to be issued. Regulatory
authorities have considerable discretion in the timing of the
permit issuance and the public and other agencies have rights to
comment on and otherwise engage in the permitting process,
including through intervention in the courts.
Before a SMCRA permit is issued, a mine operator must submit a
bond or otherwise secure the performance of reclamation
obligations. The Abandoned Mine Land Fund, which is part of
SMCRA, requires a fee on all coal produced. The proceeds are
used to reclaim mine lands closed or abandoned prior to
SMCRA's adoption in 1977. The current fee is $0.35 per
ton on surface-mined coal and $0.15 per ton on deep-mined
coal, but tax rate revisions are currently pending. On
April 4, 2005, the United States Court of Federal Claims
ruled that this fee is unconstitutional to the extent it is
levied on exported coal. We do not know whether the
U.S. government will appeal this ruling.
SMCRA stipulates compliance with many other major environmental
statutes, including: the Clean Air Act; Clean Water Act;
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA") and
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Act ("CERCLA" or "Superfund").
Surety Bonds.
Federal and state laws require us to obtain
surety bonds to secure payment of certain long-term obligations
including mine closure or reclamation costs, federal and state
workers' compensation costs, coal leases and other
miscellaneous obligations. Many of these bonds are renewable on
a yearly basis. Surety bond costs have increased in recent years
while the market terms of surety bonds have generally become
more unfavorable. In addition, the number of companies willing
to issue surety bonds has decreased. We have a committed bonding
facility with Travelers Casualty and Surety Company of America,
pursuant to which it has agreed, subject to certain conditions,
to issue surety bonds on our behalf in a maximum amount of
$125.0 million. As of June 30, 2005, we have posted an
aggregate of $96.0 million in reclamation bonds and
$8.6 million of other types of bonds under this facility.
In connection with our planned acquisition of the Nicewonder
Coal Group, we will amend our bonding facility with Travelers to
increase the maximum bonding amount to $150.0 million. On a
pro forma basis giving effect to the Nicewonder Acquisition, we
would have posted an aggregate of $107.8 million in
reclamation bonds under this facility as of June 30, 2005.
Clean Air Act.
The Clean Air Act and comparable state
laws that regulate air emissions affect coal mining operations
both directly and indirectly. Direct impacts on coal mining and
processing operations may occur through Clean Air Act permitting
requirements and/or emission control requirements relating to
particulate matter, such as fugitive dust, including future
regulation of fine particulate matter measuring 2.5 micrometers
in diameter or smaller. The Clean Air Act indirectly affects
coal mining operations by extensively regulating the air
emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, mercury and other
compounds emitted by coal-fired electricity generating plants.
The general effect of this extensive regulation of emissions
from coal-fired power plants could be to reduce demand for coal.
Clean Air Act requirements that may directly or indirectly
affect our operations include the following:
•
Acid Rain.
Title IV of the Clean Air Act required a
    two-phase reduction of sulfur dioxide emissions by electric
    utilities. Phase II became effective in 2000 and applies to
    all coal-fired power plants generating greater than 25
    Megawatts. The affected electricity generators have sought to
    meet these requirements by, among other compliance methods,
    switching to lower sulfur fuels, installing pollution control
    devices, reducing electricity generating levels or purchasing
    sulfur dioxide emission allowances. We cannot accurately predict
    the effect of these provisions of the Clean Air Act on us in
    future years. At this time, we believe that implementation of
    Phase II has resulted in an
104
Table of Contents
upward pressure on the price of lower sulfur coals, as
    coal-fired power plants continue to comply with the more
    stringent restrictions of Title IV.
•
Fine Particulate Matter and Ozone.
The Clean Air Act
    requires the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the
    "EPA") to set standards, referred to as National
    Ambient Air Quality Standards ("NAAQS"), for certain
    pollutants. Areas that are not in compliance (referred to as
    "non-attainment areas") with these standards must take
    steps to reduce emissions levels. In 1997, the EPA revised the
    NAAQS for particulate matter and ozone. Although previously
    subject to legal challenge, these revisions were subsequently
    upheld but implementation was delayed for several years. For
    ozone, these changes include replacement of the existing
    one-hour average standard with a more stringent eight-hour
    average standard. On April 15, 2004, the EPA announced that
    counties in 32 states fail to meet the new eight-hour
    standard for ozone. States that fail to meet the new standard
    will have until June 2007 to develop plans for pollution control
    measures that allow them to come into compliance with the
    standards. For particulates, the changes include retaining the
    existing standard for particulate matter with an aerodynamic
    diameter less than or equal to 10 microns ("PM10"),
    and adding a new standard for fine particulate matter with an
    aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 2.5 microns
    ("PM2.5"). State fine particulate non-attainment
    designations were promulgated by the EPA on January 5,
    2005. On March 7, 2005, a number of entities filed an
    appeal of the non-attainment designations in the United States
    Federal Court for the D.C. Circuit. On May 12, the court
    ordered the case held in abeyance and directed the EPA to file
    90-day status reports. Following identification of
    non-attainment areas, each individual state will identify the
    sources of emissions and develop emission reduction plans. These
    plans may be state-specific or regional in scope. Under the
    Clean Air Act, individual states have up to twelve years from
    the date of designation to secure emissions reductions from
    sources contributing to the problem. Meeting the new PM2.5
    standard may require reductions of nitrogen oxide and sulfur
    dioxide emissions. Future regulation and enforcement of these
    new ozone and PM2.5 standards will affect many power plants,
    especially coal-fired plants and all plants in
    "non-attainment" areas.
•
Ozone.
Significant additional emissions control
    expenditures will be required at coal-fired power plants to meet
    the current NAAQS for ozone. Nitrogen oxides, which are a
    by-product of coal combustion, can lead to the creation of
    ozone. Accordingly, emissions control requirements for new and
    expanded coal-fired power plants and industrial boilers will
    continue to become more demanding in the years ahead.
•
NOx SIP Call.
The NOx SIP Call program was established by
    the EPA in October of 1998 to reduce the transport of ozone on
    prevailing winds from the Midwest and South to states in the
    Northeast, which said they could not meet federal air quality
    standards because of migrating pollution. Under Phase I of
    the program, the EPA is requiring 90,000 tons of nitrogen oxides
    reductions from power plants in 22 states east of the
    Mississippi River and the District of Columbia beginning in May
    2004. Phase II of the program, which became effective
    June 21, 2004, requires a further reduction of about
    100,000 tons of nitrogen oxides per year by May 1, 2007.
    Installation of additional control measures, such as selective
    catalytic reduction devices, required under the final rules will
    make it more costly to operate coal-fired electricity generating
    plants, thereby making coal a less attractive fuel.
•
Clear Skies Initiative.
The Bush Administration has
    proposed legislation, commonly referred to as the Clear Skies
    Initiative, that could require dramatic reductions in nitrous
    oxide, sulfur dioxide, and mercury emissions by power plants
    through "cap-and-trade" programs similar to the
    existing Acid Rain regulations and current NOx budget programs.
    The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee considered
    this proposed legislation and failed to recommend it for a vote
    by the full Senate on March 10, 2005. Some members of the
    House and Senate have publicized their efforts to add the Clear
    Skies Initiative as an amendment to the currently proposed
    Energy Bill. It is currently not possible to predict what, if
    any, new regulatory requirements will ultimately evolve out of
    this initiative.
•
Clean Air Interstate Rule.
The EPA finalized the Clean
    Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) on March 10, 2005. The new
    CAIR calls for power plants in 29 eastern states and the
    District of Columbia to reduce emission levels of sulfur dioxide
    and nitrous oxide. The rule requires states to regulate power
    plants under a cap and trade program similar to the system now
    in effect for acid deposition control and to that proposed by
    the Clear Skies Initiative. When fully implemented, this rule is
    expected to reduce regional sulfur dioxide emissions by over 70%
    and nitrogen oxides emissions by over 60% from 2003 levels. The
    stringency of the cap may require many coal-fired electricity
    generation plants to install additional pollution control
    equipment, such as wet scrubbers, to comply, which could
105
Table of Contents
decrease the demand for low sulfur coal at these plants and
    thereby potentially reduce market prices for low sulfur coal.
    Emissions are permanently capped and cannot increase.
•
Utility Mercury Reductions Rule.
On March 15, 2005,
    the EPA issued the Clean Air Mercury Rule, originally proposed
    as the Utility Mercury Reduction Rule, to permanently cap and
    reduce mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants. The Clean
    Air Mercury Rule establishes mercury emissions limits from new
    and existing coal-fired power plants and creates a market-based
    cap-and-trade program that is expected to reduce nationwide
    utility emissions of mercury in two phases. The cap on mercury
    emissions during the first phase is 38 tons. To the extent
    mercury emissions are required to be reduced during the first
    phase, emissions may reduced by taking advantage of
    "co-benefit" reductions — that is, mercury
    reductions achieved by reducing sulfur dioxide and nitrogen
    oxides emissions under CAIR. In the second phase, due in 2018,
    coal-fired power plants will be subject to a second cap, which
    will reduce emissions to 15 tons.
•
Carbon Dioxide.
In February 2003, a number of states
    notified the EPA that they planned to sue the agency to force it
    to set new source performance standards for utility emissions of
    carbon dioxide and to tighten existing standards for sulfur
    dioxide and particulate matter for utility emissions. In June
    2003, three of these states sued the EPA seeking a court order
    requiring the EPA to designate carbon dioxide as a criteria
    pollutant and to issue a new NAAQS for carbon dioxide. If these
    lawsuits result in the issuance of a court order requiring the
    EPA to set emission limitations for carbon dioxide and/or lower
    emission limitations for sulfur dioxide and particulate matter,
    it could reduce the amount of coal our customers would purchase
    from us.
•
Regional Emissions Trading.
Eleven Northeast and
    Mid-Atlantic states are working cooperatively to develop a
    regional cap and trade program that would initially cover carbon
    dioxide emissions from power plants in the region. The states
    intended to develop a model rule by April 2005, but the process
    has been delayed and no formal model rule has been made public
    to date. There are a number of uncertainties regarding this
    initiative, including the applicable baseline of emissions to be
    permitted, initial allocations, required emissions reductions,
    availability of offsets, the extent to which states will adopt
    the program, whether it will be linked with programs in other
    states or in Canadian provinces, and the timing for
    implementation of the program. There can be no assurance at this
    time that a carbon dioxide cap and trade program, if implemented
    by the states where our customers operate, will not affect the
    future market for coal in this region.
•
Regional Haze.
The EPA has initiated a regional haze
    program designed to protect and to improve visibility at and
    around national parks, national wilderness areas and
    international parks. This program restricts the construction of
    new coal-fired power plants whose operation may impair
    visibility at and around federally protected areas. Moreover,
    this program may require certain existing coal-fired power
    plants to install additional control measures designed to limit
    haze-causing emissions, such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides,
    volatile organic chemicals and particulate matter. These
    limitations could affect the future market for coal.
Clean Water Act.
The Clean Water Act of 1972 (the
"CWA") and corresponding state laws affect coal mining
operations by imposing restrictions on the discharge of certain
pollutants into water and on dredging and filling wetlands. The
CWA establishes in-stream water quality standards and treatment
standards for wastewater discharge through the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ("NPDES").
Regular monitoring, as well as compliance with reporting
requirements and performance standards, are preconditions for
the issuance and renewal of NPDES permits that govern the
discharge of pollutants into water.
Permits under Section 404 of the CWA are required for coal
companies to conduct dredging or filling activities in
jurisdictional waters for the purpose of creating slurry ponds,
water impoundments, refuse areas, valley fills or other mining
activities. Jurisdictional waters typically include ephemeral,
intermittent, and perennial streams and may in certain instances
include man-made conveyances that have a hydrologic connection
to a stream or wetland. Presently, under the SMCRA Stream Buffer
Zone Rule, mining disturbances are prohibited within
100 feet of streams if negative effects on water quality
are expected. OSM has proposed changes to this rule, which would
make exemptions available if mine operators take steps to reduce
the amount of waste and its effect on nearby waters.
The Army Corps of Engineers (the "COE") is empowered
to issue "nationwide" permits for specific categories
of filling activity that are determined to have minimal
environmental adverse effects in order to save the cost and time
of issuing individual permits under Section 404. Nationwide
Permit 21 authorizes the disposal of dredge-and-fill material
from
106
Table of Contents
mining activities into the waters of the United States. On
October 23, 2003, several citizens groups sued the COE in
the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West
Virginia seeking to invalidate "nationwide" permits
utilized by the COE and the coal industry for permitting most
in-stream disturbances associated with coal mining, including
excess spoil valley fills and refuse impoundments. The
plaintiffs sought to enjoin the prospective approval of these
nationwide permits and to enjoin some coal operators from
additional use of existing nationwide permit approvals until
they obtain more detailed "individual" permits. On
July 8, 2004, the court issued an order enjoining the
further issuance of Nationwide 21 permits and rescinded
certain listed permits where construction of valley fills and
surface impoundments had not commenced. On August 13, 2004,
the court extended the ruling to all Nationwide 21 permits
within the Southern District of West Virginia. Although Alpha
had no operations that were interrupted, this decision required
us to convert certain ongoing and planned applications for
Nationwide 21 permits to applications for individual permits. A
similar lawsuit was filed on January 27, 2005 in the
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky,
and other lawsuits may be filed in other states where Alpha
operates.
Total Maximum Daily Load ("TMDL") regulations
established a process by which states designate stream segments
as impaired (not meeting present water quality standards).
Industrial dischargers, including coal mines, will be required
to meet new TMDL effluent standards for these stream segments.
Some of our operations currently discharge effluents into stream
segments that have been designated as impaired. The adoption of
new TMDL related effluent limitations for our coal mines could
require more costly water treatment and could adversely affect
our coal production.
Under the CWA, states must conduct an anti-degradation review
before approving permits for the discharge of pollutants to
waters that have been designated as high quality. A state's
anti-degradation regulations would prohibit the diminution of
water quality in these streams. Several environmental groups and
individuals recently challenged, and in part successfully, West
Virginia's anti-degradation policy. In general, waters
discharged from coal mines to high quality streams will be
required to meet or exceed new "high quality"
standards. This could cause increases in the costs, time and
difficulty associated with obtaining and complying with NPDES
permits, and could aversely affect our coal production.
Mine Safety and Health.
Stringent health and safety
standards have been in effect since Congress enacted the Coal
Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969. The Federal Mine Safety and
Health Act of 1977 significantly expanded the enforcement of
safety and health standards and imposed safety and health
standards on all aspects of mining operations. All of the states
in which we operate have state programs for mine safety and
health regulation and enforcement. Collectively, federal and
state safety and health regulation in the coal mining industry
is perhaps the most comprehensive and pervasive system for
protection of employee health and safety affecting any segment
of U.S. industry. While this regulation has a significant
effect on our operating costs, our U.S. competitors are
subject to the same degree of regulation.
Under the Black Lung Benefits Revenue Act of 1977 and the Black
Lung Benefits Reform Act of 1977, as amended in 1981, each coal
mine operator must secure payment of federal black lung benefits
to claimants who are current and former employees and to a trust
fund for the payment of benefits and medical expenses to
claimants who last worked in the coal industry prior to
July 1, 1973. The trust fund is funded by an excise tax on
production of up to $1.10 per ton for deep-mined coal and
up to $0.55 per ton for surface-mined coal, neither amount
to exceed 4.4% of the gross sales price. The excise tax does not
apply to coal shipped outside the United States. In 2004, we
recorded $12.6 million of expense related to this excise
tax.
Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992.
Unlike
many companies in the coal business, we do not have any
liability under the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of
1992 (the "Coal Act"), which requires the payment of
substantial sums to provide lifetime health benefits to
union-represented miners (and their dependents) who retired
before 1992, because liabilities under the Coal Act that had
been imposed on our Predecessor or acquired companies were
retained by the sellers and, if applicable, their parent
companies, in the applicable acquisition agreements. We should
not be liable for these liabilities retained by the sellers
unless they and, if applicable, their parent companies, fail to
satisfy their obligations with respect to Coal Act claims and
retained liabilities covered by the acquisition agreements.
Endangered Species Act.
The federal Endangered Species
Act and counterpart state legislation protect species threatened
with possible extinction. Protection of threatened and
endangered species may have the effect of prohibiting or
delaying us from obtaining mining permits and may include
restrictions on timber harvesting, road building and other
mining or agricultural activities in areas containing the
affected species or their habitats. A number of species
indigenous to the areas in which we operate are protected under
the Endangered Species Act. Based on the species that have been
identified to date and the current application of applicable
laws and regulations, however, we do not believe there are any
107
Table of Contents
species protected under the Endangered Species Act that would
materially and adversely affect our ability to mine coal from
our properties in accordance with current mining plans.
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.
The RCRA affects
coal mining operations by establishing requirements for the
treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous wastes. Certain
coal mine wastes, such as overburden and coal cleaning wastes,
are exempted from hazardous waste management.
Subtitle C of RCRA exempted fossil fuel combustion wastes
from hazardous waste regulation until the EPA completed a report
to Congress and made a determination on whether the wastes
should be regulated as hazardous. In a 1993 regulatory
determination, the EPA addressed some high volume-low toxicity
coal combustion wastes generated at electric utility and
independent power producing facilities, such as coal ash. In May
2000, the EPA concluded that coal combustion wastes do not
warrant regulation as hazardous under RCRA. The EPA is retaining
the hazardous waste exemption for these wastes. However, the EPA
has determined that national non-hazardous waste regulations
under RCRA Subtitle D are needed for coal combustion wastes
disposed in surface impoundments and landfills and used as
mine-fill. The agency also concluded beneficial uses of these
wastes, other than for mine-filling, pose no significant risk
and no additional national regulations are needed. As long as
this exemption remains in effect, it is not anticipated that
regulation of coal combustion waste will have any material
effect on the amount of coal used by electricity generators.
Most state hazardous waste laws also exempt coal combustion
waste, and instead treat it as either a solid waste or a special
waste. Any costs associated with handling or disposal of
hazardous wastes would increase our customers' operating
costs and potentially reduce their ability to purchase coal. In
addition, contamination caused by the past disposal of ash can
lead to material liability.
Due to the hazardous waste exemption for coal combustion waste
such as ash, much coal combustion waste is currently put to
beneficial use. For example, in one Pennsylvania mine from which
we have the right to receive coal, we have used some ash as mine
fill. The ash we use for this purpose is mixed with lime and
serves to help alleviate the potential for acid mine drainage.
Federal and State Superfund Statutes.
Superfund and
similar state laws affect coal mining and hard rock operations
by creating liability for investigation and remediation in
response to releases of hazardous substances into the
environment and for damages to natural resources. Under
Superfund, joint and several liabilities may be imposed on waste
generators, site owners or operators and others regardless of
fault. In addition, mining operations may have reporting
obligations under the Emergency Planning and Community Right to
Know Act and the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act.
Climate Change.
One major by-product of burning coal is
carbon dioxide, which is considered a greenhouse gas and is a
major source of concern with respect to global warming. In
November 2004, Russia ratified the Kyoto Protocol to the 1992
Framework Convention on Global Climate Change (the
"Protocol"), which establishes a binding set of
emission targets for greenhouse gases. With Russia's
accedence, the Protocol now has sufficient support and became
binding on all those countries that have ratified it on
February 16, 2005. Four industrialized nations have refused
to ratify the Protocol — Australia, Liechtenstein,
Monaco, and the United States. Although the targets vary from
country to country, if the United States were to ratify the
Protocol our nation would be required to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions to 93% of 1990 levels from 2008 to 2012. Canada, which
accounted for 6% of our sales volume in 2004, ratified the
Protocol in 2002. Under the Protocol, Canada will be required to
cut greenhouse gas emissions to 6% below 1990 levels in 2008 to
2012, either in direct reductions in emissions or by obtaining
credits through the Protocol's market mechanisms. This
could result in reduced demand for coal by Canadian electric
power generators.
Future regulation of greenhouse gases in the United States could
occur pursuant to future U.S. treaty obligations, statutory
or regulatory changes under the Clean Air Act, or otherwise. The
Bush Administration has proposed a package of voluntary emission
reductions for greenhouse gases reduction targets which provide
for certain incentives if targets are met. Some states, such as
Massachusetts, have already issued regulations regulating
greenhouse gas emissions from large power plants. Further, in
2002, the Conference of New England Governors and Eastern
Canadian Premiers adopted a Climate Change Action Plan, calling
for reduction in regional greenhouse emissions to 1990 levels by
2010, and a further reduction of at least 10% below 1990 levels
by 2020. Increased efforts to control greenhouse gas emissions,
including the future ratification of the Protocol by the U.S.,
could result in reduced demand for coal.

Board of Directors
Our board of directors currently consists of eight members. All

elected each year. Each current member of our board of directors

of our stockholders held on April 27, 2005, to serve a
one-year term expiring at the annual meeting in 2006 and
111
Table of Contents
until their respective successors are elected and qualified.
Each of these directors had been nominated by the board of
directors in accordance with the provisions of our stockholder
agreement, which contains agreements among our Sponsors and us
regarding the composition of our board of directors. See
"Certain Relationships and Related Party
Transactions — Transactions in Connection with
Internal Restructuring — Stockholder Agreement."
Under the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") rules, we
were required to have a majority of independent directors on our
board of directors and to have our compensation and nominating/
corporate governance committees be comprised entirely of
independent directors by February 14, 2006. In addition,
the NYSE rules and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and rules
thereunder adopted by the SEC require us to have our audit
committee be comprised entirely of independent directors by
February 14, 2006.
The nominating and corporate governance committee undertook an
annual review of director and director-nominee independence in
March 2005. The purpose of this review was to determine whether
any relationships or transactions involving the directors and
director-nominees, their family members and affiliates were
inconsistent with a determination that the director or director
nominee is independent under the independence standards in the
rules of the NYSE. Based on that review, our board of directors
has determined that each of E. Linn Draper, Jr. Glenn A.
Eisenberg and John W. Fox, Jr. qualify as
"independent" under the general independence standards
in the NYSE rules.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Our board of directors has three standing committees:

Messrs. Draper and Eisenberg qualify as
"independent" members of the audit committee as
defined in the rules of the SEC and NYSE setting forth
independence requirements for public company audit committees.

Represents options granted under the Alpha Coal Management
    Long-Term Incentive Plan, which we assumed in connection with
    the Internal Restructuring. These options vest over a five year
    period, with 20% vesting on each of the first, second, third,
    fourth and fifth anniversaries of the date of grant.
(2)
Based on an aggregate of 596,285 shares of our common stock
    that are subject to options granted to employees during 2004,
    net of options granted in 2004 and cancelled upon termination of
    the optionholder's employment prior to the completion of
    our Internal Restructuring, using the same assumptions as note
    (1) above.
(3)
Options were granted at an exercise price equal to the fair
    market value of ANR Holdings' common equity as determined
    by the ANR Holdings board of directors at the date of grant. In
    determining the fair market value of ANR Holdings' equity,
    the board considered various factors, including the
    company's financial condition and business prospects,
    operating results, the absence of a market for the
    company's common equity and marketability discount, and
    third party valuations of the company.
(4)
The term of each option granted under the Alpha Coal Management
    Long-Term Incentive Plan is generally ten years from the date of
    grant. Options may terminate before their expiration date if the
    option holder's status as an employee is terminated or upon
    the option holder's death or disability.
(5)
The potential realizable values are based on an assumption that
    the stock price of our common stock will appreciate at the
    annual rate shown, compounded annually, from the date of grant
    until the end of the option term. These values do not take into
    account amounts required to be paid as income taxes under the
    Internal Revenue Code and any applicable state laws or option
    provisions providing for termination of an option following
    termination of employment, non-transferability or vesting. These
    amounts are calculated based on the requirements promulgated by
    the SEC and do not reflect estimates of future stock price
    growth of our shares of common stock.

Incentive Cash Bonus Plan
In connection with our Internal Restructuring our board of
directors adopted, and our stockholders approved, our Annual
Incentive Bonus Plan (the "Bonus Plan"), which was
originally adopted by ANR Holdings in November 2004. The Bonus
Plan is a performance-based incentive bonus plan under which our
designated executive officers and key employees are eligible to
receive cash bonus payments with respect to a specific
performance period (for example, our fiscal year).
116
Table of Contents
Bonuses of up to 200% of a participant's base salary are
payable under the Bonus Plan upon the achievement of certain
pre-established performance goals. Performance goals include
operational goals such as safety, productivity, other strategic
objectives and individual performance goals, plus financial
measures. Financial measures that form the basis for performance
goals may include any of the following with respect to us or any
of our subsidiaries, divisions or business units: earnings,
operating earnings, earnings per share, operating earnings per
share, earnings before interest taxes depreciation and
amortization, revenues, stockholders' equity, return on
equity, return on assets, return on invested capital, economic
value added, operating margins, cash flow, total stockholder
return, expenses, debt-to-capital ratio or market share. The
maximum amount that any one participant may receive under the
Bonus Plan in any fiscal year is $10,000,000.
The Bonus Plan is intended to provide an incentive for business
performance, reward contributions towards goals consistent with
our business strategy and enable us to attract and retain highly
qualified executive officers and key employees. The Bonus Plan
will generally be administered by our compensation committee or
a subcommittee of the compensation committee charged with
administering the Bonus Plan, whose determination on all matters
relating to the Bonus Plan will be final and binding. At the
beginning of each year, the committee will select the eligible
participants in the Bonus Plan, establish the performance goals
for the performance period being established in that year for a
participant or group of participants, determine target incentive
bonuses for the participants and, at the end of each performance
period, the committee will certify that the performance goals
have been met with respect to the given performance period. The
compensation committee or subcommittee charged with
administering the Bonus Plan or our board of directors, may
amend, suspend or terminate the Bonus Plan at any time in its
sole discretion.
Management Stock
Pursuant to our stockholder agreement, an aggregate of
1,344,930 shares of Common Stock held by our executives as
of October 5, 2005 are unvested and subject to forfeiture.
The stockholder agreement provides that an executive holding
unvested shares whose employment is terminated by us for cause,
as defined in the stockholder agreement, or who voluntarily
terminates his employment will forfeit all of the unvested
shares if the termination is prior to December 31, 2005 and
one half of the unvested shares if the termination is after
December 31, 2005 and prior to December 31, 2006. The
stockholder agreement also provides that an executive holding
unvested shares whose employment is terminated by us without
cause, or due to retirement, death or disability, will become
vested upon termination in a percentage of the total shares
initially subject to vesting equal to the number of full
calendar months then elapsed since December 31, 2004
divided by 24. The stockholder agreement further provides that
vesting of all unvested shares will accelerate upon a change of
control of the Company, as defined in the stockholder agreement.
Long-Term Incentive Plans
Alpha Coal Management Amended and Restated 2004 Long-Term
    Incentive Plan
In November 2004, the board of directors of Alpha Coal
Management adopted, and its members approved, the Alpha Coal
Management LLC 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Alpha
Coal Management Long-Term Incentive Plan") to provide
equity incentive compensation to those key employees and others
who make significant contributions to the strategic and
long-term performance objectives and growth of Alpha. On
November 10, 2004, Alpha Coal Management granted options to
purchase 800,000 units of Alpha Coal Management to 22
members of Alpha's management team under the Alpha Coal
Management Long-Term Incentive Plan. Among our executive
officers, only Michael D. Brown, Vaughn R. Groves and Eddie W.
Neely were granted options under the Alpha Coal Management
Long-Term Incentive Plan. These options vest over a period of
five years (with accelerated vesting upon a change of control of
Alpha) and have a term of ten years. In connection with this
grant of options, Alpha Coal Management entered into a letter
agreement with ANR Holdings pursuant to which ANR Holdings
agreed to issue to Alpha Coal Management additional membership
interests representing sharing ratios in an aggregate amount
equal to 1% of the outstanding membership interests upon
exercise of awards granted by Alpha Coal Management under the
Alpha Coal Management Long-Term Incentive Plan. Pursuant to the
terms of the Internal Restructuring Agreement, this plan was
amended and restated, the outstanding options to purchase units
of Alpha Coal Management were automatically converted into
options to purchase shares of our common stock and we assumed
the obligations of Alpha Coal Management pursuant to this plan.
As of September 15, 2005, there are outstanding under the
plan options to purchase an aggregate of 526,289 shares of
our common stock (the maximum number of shares currently
available for awards under the plan) at an exercise price of
$12.73 per share. No additional options or other awards
will be granted under the plan. The number of shares of our
common stock reserved pursuant to
117
Table of Contents
the plan will be subject, at the discretion of our board of
directors (or the committee if so empowered), to adjustment as a
result of stock splits, stock dividends and similar changes in
our common stock.
Following our assumption of the Amended and Restated Alpha Coal
Management LLC 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan in connection with
the Internal Restructuring, the plan is administered on the same
basis and subject to the same regulation as our Long-Term
Incentive Plan as described under "Alpha Natural Resources,
Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan."
Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. Long-Term Incentive
    Plan
In connection with the Internal Restructuring, we adopted, and
our stockholders approved, the Alpha Natural Resources, Inc.
Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Long-Term Incentive
Plan"). The principal purpose of the Long-Term Incentive
Plan is to attract, motivate, reward and retain selected
employees, consultants and directors through the granting of
stock-based compensation awards. The Long-Term Incentive Plan
provides for a variety of awards, including non-qualified stock
options, incentive stock options (within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Code), stock appreciation rights,
restricted stock awards, dividend equivalents, performance-based
awards and other stock-based awards.
Administration.
The Long-Term Incentive Plan is
administered by our board of directors, and the board has
delegated administration to the compensation committee which has
further delegated administration to the Section 162(m)
subcommittee of the compensation committee. The board or the
committee may in certain circumstances delegate administration
of the plan to one or more of Alpha's officers. The board
of directors or the committee, if so empowered, has the power to
interpret the Long-Term Incentive Plan and to adopt rules for
the administration, interpretation and application of the plan
according to its terms.
Grant of Awards; Shares Available for Awards.
Certain
employees, consultants and directors are eligible to be granted
awards under the plan. The board of directors, or the committee
if so empowered, will determine who will receive awards under
the plan, as well as the form of the awards, the number of
shares underlying the awards, and the terms and conditions of
the awards consistent with the terms of the plan.
The total number of shares of our common stock initially
available for issuance or delivery under our Long-Term Incentive
Plan is 3,338,841 shares, and the maximum number of shares
that may be subject to awards made to any one plan participant
in any fiscal year will be 2,000,000 shares. As of
September 15, 2005, we have issued 12,000 shares of
our common stock pursuant to restricted stock awards under the
Long-Term Incentive Plan, and 742,905 shares of our common
stock are subject to outstanding options granted under the
Long-Term Incentive Plan. The number of shares of our common
stock issued or reserved pursuant to the Long-Term Incentive
Plan is subject, at the discretion of the board of directors (or
the committee if so empowered), to adjustment as a result of
stock splits, stock dividends and similar changes in our common
stock.
Stock Options.
The Long-Term Incentive Plan permits the
board of directors, or the committee if so empowered, to grant
participants incentive stock options, which qualify for special
tax treatment in the United States, as well as non-qualified
stock options. The board, or the committee if so empowered, will
establish the duration of each option at the time it is granted,
with a maximum ten-year duration for incentive stock options,
and may also establish vesting and performance requirements that
must be met prior to the exercise of options. Stock option
grants (other than incentive stock option grants) also may have
exercise prices that are less than, equal to or greater than the
fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.
Incentive stock options must have an exercise price that is at
least equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the
date of grant.
Stock option grants may include provisions that permit the
option holder to exercise all or part of the holder's
vested options, or to satisfy withholding tax liabilities, by
tendering shares of common stock already owned by the option
holder for at least six months (or another period consistent
with the applicable accounting rules) with a fair market value
equal to the exercise price.
Stock Appreciation Rights.
The board of directors, or the
committee if so empowered, may also grant stock appreciation
rights, either alone or in tandem with underlying stock options
or other awards, which will be exercisable upon the occurrence
of certain contingent events. Stock appreciation rights entitle
the holder upon exercise to receive an amount in any combination
of cash, shares of our common stock (as determined by the
committee) equal in value to the excess of
118
Table of Contents
the fair market value of the shares covered by the right over
the exercise price of the stock appreciation right, or other
securities or property of Alpha.
Other Equity-Based Awards.
In addition to stock options
and stock appreciation rights, the board of directors, or the
committee if so empowered, may also grant to certain employees,
consultants and directors shares of restricted stock, restricted
stock rights, dividend equivalents, performance-based awards or
other stock-based awards, with terms and conditions as the board
of directors (or, if applicable, the committee) may, pursuant to
the terms of the Long-Term Incentive Plan, establish. The
Long-Term Incentive Plan also allows awards to be made in
conjunction with a participant's election to defer
compensation. The maximum amount that any one participant may
receive with respect to awards under the Long-Term Incentive
Plan in any fiscal year in cash or any other form of property
other than shares of our common stock is $10,000,000.
Change-in-Control Provisions.
In connection with the
grant of an award, the board of directors, or the committee if
so empowered, may provide that, in the event of a change in
control of Alpha, any outstanding awards that are unexercisable
or otherwise unvested will become fully vested and immediately
exercisable. In addition, the committee may, in its sole
discretion, provide for the termination of an award upon the
consummation of the change in control and the payment of a cash
amount in exchange for the cancellation of an award, and/or the
issuance of substitute awards that will substantially preserve
the otherwise applicable terms of any affected award.
Amendment and Termination.
Our board of directors, or the
committee if so empowered, may adopt, amend and rescind rules
relating to the administration of the Long-Term Incentive Plan,
and amend, suspend or terminate the Long-Term Incentive Plan,
but no amendment will be made that adversely affects in a
material manner any rights of the holder of any award without
the holder's consent, other than amendments that are
necessary to permit the granting of awards in compliance with
applicable laws. We have attempted to structure the Long-Term
Incentive Plan so that remuneration attributable to stock
options and other awards will not be subject to a deduction
limitation contained in Section 162(m) of the Code.

The shares of our common stock beneficially owned are reported
    on the basis of regulations of the SEC governing the
    determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under the
    rules of the SEC, a person is deemed to be a "beneficial
    owner" of a security if that person has or shares voting
    power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of
    such security, or investment power, which includes the power to
    dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A
    person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities
    of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership
    within 60 days. Securities that can be so acquired are
    deemed to be outstanding for purposes of computing such
    person's ownership percentage, but not for purposes of
    computing any other person's percentage. Under these rules,
    more than one person may be deemed beneficial owner of the same
    securities and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner
    of securities as to which such person has no economic interest.
    Except as otherwise indicated in these footnotes, each of the
    beneficial owners has, to our knowledge, sole voting and
    investment power with respect to the indicated shares of common

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Loans from First Reserve
We were formed and wholly owned by First Reserve, one of our
Sponsors, in 2002. As part of our formation and our acquisition
of our Predecessor in December 2002, First Reserve loaned us
$24.0 million for which we paid First Reserve
$0.3 million in fees in 2002 and for which we incurred
interest expense of $2.6 million and $144,000 during 2003
and 2002, respectively. The loan was contributed to our capital
in 2003.
On November 17, 2003, First Reserve loaned us
$30.0 million to fund the purchase price of the Mears
acquisition. We repaid all outstanding principal and interest on
this loan during December 2003.
Payments by Affiliates of AMCI to Mr. Quillen
In connection with our acquisition of U.S. AMCI
("U.S. AMCI"), certain affiliates of AMCI entered
into an agreement with Michael J. Quillen, a member of our board
of directors and our President and Chief Executive Officer,
pursuant to which they paid Mr. Quillen $194,000 in 2003,
$250,000 in 2004 and have agreed to pay Mr. Quillen
$250,000 in 2005 in respect of compensation deferred from his
prior employment with U.S. AMCI. The purpose of this
agreement was in part to recognize Mr. Quillen's
efforts in connection with our acquisition of U.S. AMCI.
Also at the time of the U.S. AMCI acquisition and in
further recognition of Mr. Quillen's efforts in
connection with the development and growth of U.S. AMCI
over the previous five years and the contribution of
U.S. AMCI to us, Hans J. Mende and Fritz R. Kundrun, who
are members of our board of directors, and D. Scott Kroh, our
Executive Vice President (the "AMCI Owners") entered
into an incentive agreement with Mr. Quillen. Under this
incentive agreement, as amended, the AMCI Owners agreed to
compensate Mr. Quillen upon our repayment of indebtedness
that we incurred to our stockholders in connection with our
Internal Restructuring, any sale or disposition by the AMCI
Owners of our common stock received by them in the Internal
Restructuring or any merger or consolidation of us with a third
party or sale of all or substantially all of our assets to an
unaffiliated party. The amount of the payment to
Mr. Quillen under this incentive agreement will be equal to
5% of the net amount, if any, by which the value of the
consideration received by the AMCI Owners exceeds an agreed upon
net value of their interest in ANR Holdings at the time of the
U.S. AMCI acquisition, minus 5% of certain of the AMCI
Owners' expenses for the transaction for which
Mr. Quillen is paid. Mr. Quillen received a payment of
approximately $22.9 million under the incentive agreement
as a result of our repayment of indebtedness to our
stockholders, including the AMCI Owners, in connection with our
initial public offering. The incentive agreement terminates on
the earlier to occur of March 11, 2010 and one year after
the date Mr. Quillen ceases to be an officer or employee of
ANR Holdings or any of its subsidiary or affiliated companies.
In the event that the AMCI Owners have not transferred all of
our common stock received by them in the Internal Restructuring
in one or more transactions of the type listed above by
March 11, 2010, the AMCI Owners have agreed to pay
Mr. Quillen consideration equal to 5% of the amount by
which the agreed or appraised fair market value of common stock
on that date exceeds the agreed upon value referred to above.
Transactions with Mr. Kroh
Mr. Kroh is a 50% owner of Robindale Energy Services, Inc.
("Robindale"), which is engaged in the business of
waste coal sales and related businesses in Pennsylvania. From
time to time, Robindale has sold and purchased and may in the
future sell or purchase waste coal and related products to or
from us. During 2003, 2004, and the period from January 1,
2005 to August 31, 2005, we paid an aggregate of
$0.2 million, $0.8 million and $0.7 million,
respectively, to Robindale as payment for trucking services and
waste coal. During 2004 and the period from January 1, 2005
to August 31, 2005, we had sales of $0.2 million and
$0.3 million, respectively, to Robindale. We have agreed
that Mr. Kroh's continued relationship with Robindale
will not cause a breach of his employment agreement with us, and
Mr. Kroh has agreed that he will not participate in any
decisions to enter into any transactions that might be proposed
between Robindale and Alpha.
Office Lease from Related Parties
We lease office space in Latrobe, Pennsylvania from the KMKT
Partnership, which is 25% owned by Mr. Kroh, 25% owned by
Mr. Mende, and 25% owned by Mr. Kundrun. The initial
term of the lease extends through March 31, 2007 and
provides for rental payments of $15,500 per month.

Loan to Executives
In connection with the hiring in October 2003 of David Stuebe,
our Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, we extended to
Mr. Stuebe a $100,000 relocation loan bearing interest at a
rate of 6%. Mr. Stuebe repaid all outstanding principal and
interest on this loan on March 31, 2004. In connection with
the hiring in February 2003 of Kevin Crutchfield, our Executive
Vice President, we extended to Mr. Crutchfield a $79,600
relocation loan bearing interest at a rate of 6.25%.
Mr. Crutchfield repaid all outstanding principal and
interest on this loan during 2003.
Coal Transaction with Foundation
On October 26, 2004, we agreed to purchase an aggregate of
500,000 tons of coal from subsidiaries of Foundation, with an
option to purchase up to 25,000 tons more upon agreement of the
parties. We paid Foundation an aggregate of $10.7 million
during the period from January 1, 2005 to May 31, 2005
in connection with coal purchases pursuant to this agreement.
The coal is deliverable in monthly installments during the
period from January 2005 through March 2006. Messrs. Mende,
Krueger and Macaulay are members of our board of directors who
also serve as directors of Foundation. First Reserve and
affiliates of the AMCI Parties beneficially own an aggregate of
12.6% of the outstanding shares of Foundation's common
stock as of September 30, 2005.
Coal Transactions with the AMCI Parties
During 2003, 2004 and the period from January 1, 2005 to
May 31, 2005, we were parties to coal purchase and sale
transactions involving entities affiliated with the AMCI Parties
valued at approximately $14.8 million, $68.3 million
and $32.8 million, respectively. We are obligated to
deliver 300,000 firm tons and 200,000 optional tons of coal
during April 2005 through March 2006 to AMCI Metall &
Kohle AG, a company owned by Mr. Mende and
Mr. Kundrun, under an arrangement whereby we sell coal to
AMCI Metall & Kohle AG at a price that is
$1.00 per metric ton less than the price at which AMCI
Metall & Kohle AG resells the coal to an international
customer. Other than this arrangement with AMCI
Metall & Kohle AG for coal shipped during April 2005
through March 2006, since our acquisition of U.S. AMCI we
have not paid or agreed to pay any commission or fee to
Mr. Mende or Mr. Kundrun or any entities affiliated
with AMCI in connection with our coal transactions with entities
affiliated with AMCI.
Transactions in Connection with the U.S. AMCI
Acquisition
The Contribution Agreement.
In connection with our
acquisition of U.S. AMCI, we entered into a contribution
agreement with certain affiliates of AMCI (the "AMCI
Parties") and First Reserve, pursuant to which the AMCI
Parties agreed to contribute their North American coal
operations (including working capital) to us in exchange for
$53.9 million in cash, the issuance by ANR Holdings of
44.3473% of its common sharing ratios, and 44.4903% of its
preferred sharing ratios, and the assumption by certain of our
subsidiaries of various liabilities. Messrs. Mende, Kundrun
and Kroh control the AMCI Parties. The contribution agreement
included customary seller representations and warranties,
customary covenants and other agreements among the AMCI parties,
First Reserve and us and provides for indemnification for losses
relating to specified events, circumstances and matters. The
indemnification arrangements permit, under certain
circumstances, the transfer by certain of the AMCI Parties to
First Reserve of membership interests in ANR Holdings (shares of
our common stock after giving effect to the Internal
Restructuring) to compensate for indemnified losses.
The contribution agreement with the AMCI Parties also included a
number of post-closing matters in addition to the
indemnification agreement referred to above. The following
summarizes the principal terms of these matters:
•
The AMCI Parties established an escrow of $2.8 million in
    favor of us and First Reserve in respect of certain retiree
    medical liabilities retained by the AMCI Parties. This escrow
    arrangement was eliminated as part of the Internal Restructuring.
•
Certain of the AMCI Parties entered into a pledge agreement with
    First Reserve under which these persons pledged to First Reserve
    all of their membership interests in ANR Holdings to secure
    their obligation under the contribution agreement to discharge
    certain retiree medical liabilities retained by the AMCI
    Parties. This pledge agreement was terminated in connection with
    the Internal Restructuring.
•
The AMCI Parties gave First Reserve the right to purchase from
    them additional ANR Holdings membership interests having a fair
    market value of up to $7.5 million, at a purchase price
    equal to 75% of the fair market value, in the event payments are
    required to be made under the escrow agreement to satisfy the
    AMCI parties'
123
Table of Contents
indemnification obligations under the contribution agreement to
    discharge certain retiree medical liabilities retained by the
    AMCI Parties. This right to purchase was terminated in
    connection with the Internal Restructuring.
•
We reimbursed AMCI $2.0 million in transaction costs
    related to the acquisitions of our Predecessor and Coastal Coal
    Company.
•
We entered into an agreement with certain of the AMCI Parties
    under which they granted us the right to acquire AMCI's
    wholly-owned subsidiary, AMCI Export Corporation, an export
    trading company. These rights expired on September 11,
    2004. We also entered into an agreement with Messrs. Mende,
    Kundrun and Kroh and others that gives us the option to acquire
    an ocean going port in Nova Scotia from them for
    $2.0 million plus the amount of follow-on investments made
    in the port after the date of the agreement, payable in shares
    of our common stock. This purchase option expired on
    March 11, 2005. We also have a right of first refusal that
    expires on March 11, 2008 to acquire the port if the owners
    of the port propose to sell it to a third party.
•
We paid $35.0 million for the working capital of
    U.S. AMCI, subject to a post-closing audit. On
    September 13, 2004, we, First Reserve and the AMCI Parties
    agreed that the net working capital actually acquired was
    approximately $34.1 million and the AMCI Parties paid the
    difference of $0.9 million to us. We further agreed that
    the AMCI Parties would be entitled to any refund of, and
    obligated to make any payment of, all federal black lung excise
    taxes of the companies contributed by the AMCI Parties to us,
    estimated to be $0.1 million, but only insofar as the taxes
    related to pre-closing or straddle periods ending on or prior to
    the closing date of the U.S. AMCI acquisition.
Solomons Mining Company.
In conjunction with the
U.S. AMCI acquisition, we agreed with the AMCI Parties to
operate Solomons Mining Company ("Solomons"), one of
the companies included in U.S. AMCI, for the account of the
AMCI Parties until the time Solomons could be sold, and the AMCI
parties agreed to indemnify us for all liabilities associated
with the operation of Solomons. We also agreed that, upon the
disposition of Solomons, we would pay to the AMCI Parties
$5.0 million in cash (which we withheld in connection with
the contribution transaction to fund Solomons' operating
losses), plus the net proceeds of the sale of Solomons, plus the
cumulative profits or less the cumulative operating losses of
Solomons from the date of our acquisition of U.S. AMCI to
the date of sale of Solomons, less the actual costs incurred by
ANR Holdings in managing Solomons. On September 2, 2003,
substantially all of the assets of Solomons and cash were
transferred to the lessor of Solomons' mining properties in
connection with the settlement of a lease dispute with the
lessor. At that time, ANR Holdings, First Reserve and the AMCI
Parties agreed that Solomons would advance to the lessor for the
account of the AMCI Parties an aggregate of $3.1 million in
cash in installments, by applying a portion of the withheld
funds and a portion of the tax distributions that we would
otherwise have made to the AMCI Parties under the ANR Holdings
company agreement. The AMCI Parties also agreed to provide to us
an additional $1.0 million to be used to pay operating
expenses. This agreement also provides that should the AMCI
Parties fail to perform any of their payment obligations, then
First Reserve would have the right (but not the obligation) to
purchase membership interests in ANR Holdings held by the AMCI
Parties having a fair market value, as of March 11, 2003,
equal to the payment the AMCI Parties failed to make. This right
to purchase was terminated in connection with the Internal
Restructuring.
As part of the arrangement to operate Solomons, we entered into
an agreement to purchase from a third party and for the account
of the AMCI Parties 350,000 tons of coal at various times from
April 2004 through November 2005 (the "Coal Supply
Agreement"). On April 22, 2004, ANR Holdings, First
Reserve and the AMCI Parties entered into an agreement (the
"April 2004 Agreement"), under which we take the coal
to be delivered under the Coal Supply Agreement and pay to the
AMCI Parties the difference between the agreed fair market value
of the coal as of the date of the April 2004 Agreement
($54.50 per ton), and the price to be paid to the third
party under the Coal Supply Agreement ($34.50 per ton). We
have withheld, and will continue to withhold, up to 40% of the
net proceeds to fund Solomons' reclamation obligations and
any other Solomons' liabilities for which the AMCI Parties
agreed to provide indemnification. With the exception of
reclamation obligations and any future claims by the lessor
referred to above, the amounts withheld will be our exclusive
recourse against the AMCI Parties for this indemnification. As
of September 30, 2005, the third party had shipped 355,264
tons of coal pursuant to the Coal Supply Agreement, and they are
expected to continue to ship coal through November 2005. Because
the third party has satisfied its delivery obligations under the
Coal Supply Agreement, the AMCI Parties will not be obligated to
fund certain of the payments that could otherwise be due to ANR
Holdings under the September 2, 2003 agreement with ANR
Holdings and First Reserve. We believe that the sources of
indemnification available to us, which include the amounts
withheld under the Coal Supply Agreement and recourse to certain
of the AMCI Parties for matters related to reclamation and
future claims by the lessor, will be sufficient to satisfy
124
Table of Contents
all claims expected to arise related to Solomons. As of
August 31, 2005, the AMCI Parties owed us $1.6 million
for reclamation expenses in excess of collections under the Coal
Supply Agreement.
Transactions with NRP
NRP is our largest landlord based on the aggregate of
$16.0 million, $20.2 million and $7.1 million
that we paid it in lease, royalty and property tax reimbursement
and royalty payments during 2003, 2004 and the period from
January 1, 2005 to May 31, 2005, respectively. In an
unrelated transaction, in December 2003, Alex Krueger, a member
of our board of directors, was appointed as a member of the
board of directors of GP Natural Resource Partners, LLC, the
general partner of NRP, and First Reserve became a substantial
equity owner of NRP. We believe the production and minimum
royalty rates contained in our leases with NRP are consistent
with current market royalty rates.
Investment in Excelven Pty Ltd
In August 2004, we and the AMCI Parties entered into an
agreement with Excelven Pty Ltd, pursuant to which we agreed to
acquire a 24.5% interest in Excelven for a purchase price of
$5.0 million in cash, and the AMCI Parties agreed to
acquire a 24.5% interest in Excelven for a purchase price of
$5.0 million in cash. Excelven, through its subsidiaries,
owns the rights to the Las Carmelitas mining venture in
Venezuela and the related Palmarejo export port facility on Lake
Maracaibo in Venezuela. We and the AMCI Parties each funded
$3.25 million of our respective subscription obligations in
September 2004, an additional $1.25 million in December
2004 and the remaining $500,000 in March 2005. The Las
Carmelitas mine, which is not yet in operation, is currently
expected to produce approximately two million tons of low sulfur
thermal coal per year over a 15-year mine life. The project is
currently in the developmental stage, with preliminary
governmental mining and environmental approvals having been
obtained. Final governmental approval of the project, which is
subject to the submission of a detailed mine plan, is currently
expected in 2005 with mining to commence in 2007. We and the
AMCI Parties are also in preliminary negotiations with Excelven
to provide promotion, marketing, sales and distribution services
to Excelven for all coal extracted from the Las Carmelitas mine.
Distributions to Members of ANR Holdings and Our
Stockholders
Since its formation in December 2002, ANR Holdings has made
periodic distributions to its members, including First Reserve,
entities affiliated with AMCI, and Alpha Coal Management, on
dates and in amounts calculated in accordance with its governing
documents, sufficient to enable the members to pay their
estimated income tax liability associated with their ownership
of ANR Holdings. The amounts of these distributions by ANR
Holdings, which were funded by cash distributions made to ANR
Holdings by Alpha Natural Resources, LLC, totaled
$5.3 million and $14.0 million during 2003 and 2004,
respectively, and $1.1 million during the period from
January 1, 2005 through the date of Internal Restructuring.
On May 28, 2004, in connection with the closing under our
credit agreement and our receipt of the proceeds from the sale
of the notes, Alpha Natural Resources, LLC distributed
$110.0 million to ANR Holdings, which in turn distributed
an aggregate of $110.0 million to its members, including
First Reserve, entities affiliated with AMCI, and Alpha Coal
Management, in proportion to their common sharing ratios in ANR
Holdings.
In connection with the Internal Restructuring, we assumed the
obligation of ANR Holdings to make the Tax Distributions to
(1) affiliates of AMCI in an aggregate amount of
$6.0 million, representing the approximate incremental tax
resulting from the recognition of additional tax liability
resulting from the Internal Restructuring and (2) First
Reserve Fund IX, L.P. in an aggregate amount of
approximately $4.5 million, representing the approximate
value of tax attributes conveyed as a result of the Internal
Restructuring. The Tax Distributions to affiliates of AMCI will
be paid in five equal installments on the dates for which
estimated income tax payments are due in each of April 2005,
June 2005, September 2005, January 2006 and April 2006. The
first three of these payments were made on April 15, 2005,
June 15, 2005 and September 15, 2005 in the amount of
$1.2 million each in cash. The Tax Distributions to First
Reserve Fund IX, L.P. will be paid in three installments of
approximately $2.1 million, $2.1 million and
$0.3 million on December 15, 2007, 2008 and 2009,
respectively. The Tax Distributions will be payable in cash to
the extent we are permitted by the terms of the indenture
governing the notes and our credit facility to distribute the
required funds to us or, if we are not permitted to make such
cash distributions, the Tax Distributions will be payable in
shares of our common stock.
Alpha Natural Resources, LLC distributed an aggregate of
$5.3 million and $123.9 million to ANR Holdings during
2003 and 2004.

Table of Contents
Transactions in Connection with Internal Restructuring
On February 11, 2005, we and ANR Holdings completed a
series of transactions in connection with the Internal
Restructuring which involved transactions with the First Reserve
Stockholders and the AMCI Parties and certain of our managers
and key employees. These transactions included the following:
•
Amendment to AMCI Related Agreements:
We amended certain
    of the post-closing arrangements that are part of our
    acquisition of U.S. AMCI discussed above. The AMCI Parties
    posted for our benefit a letter of credit that provides, for a
    period of ten years, financial assurances supporting the
    obligations of the AMCI Parties to indemnify us under the
    contribution agreement in respect of certain retiree medical
    liabilities. The letter of credit is initially in the amount of
    $6.8 million, declining to $3.8 million in the sixth
    and seventh years, and further declining to $1.8 million in
    the eighth through tenth years. The escrow and pledge agreements
    with the AMCI Parties and all of the First Reserve purchase
    right arrangements described in "— Transactions
    in Connection with the U.S. AMCI Acquisition" were
    terminated.
•
Releases and Indemnities.
Each former member of ANR
    Holdings (including members of our management team) released us
    and our past, present and future affiliates from any and all
    claims such member may have against ANR Holdings relating to
    events occurring prior to the closing. We, in turn, agreed to
    indemnify them with respect to any action which may be brought
    against any former member by reason of the fact that the member
    was a member, managing member, executive committee member or
    officer of ANR Holdings prior to the closing of the Internal
    Restructuring, other than with respect to any acts committed in
    bad faith or that were the result of active and deliberate
    dishonesty or from which the member gained financial profit or
    another advantage to which the member was not legally entitled.
Additionally, First Reserve Fund IX, L.P. agreed to
    indemnify us against certain pre-closing liabilities, including
    tax liabilities, associated with Alpha NR Holding, Inc. in an
    amount not to exceed $15.0 million for the first two years
    following consummation of the agreement, at which time the
    amount for which First Reserve Fund IX, L.P. will be
    obligated to indemnify will decline to $10.0 million for
    two additional years.
•
Stockholder Agreement.
We entered into a stockholder
    agreement with its management stockholders, the First Reserve
    Stockholders, the AMCI Parties and Madison Capital Funding LLC
    that became effective upon consummation of the Internal
    Restructuring and replaced the former member agreement among
    these parties and ANR Holdings. As part of the stockholder
    agreement:
•
Agreement on Board Composition:
Our board of directors
    consisted of seven members upon consummation of its initial
    public offering. The board may be subsequently expanded to
    include additional independent directors as may be required by
    the rules of any exchange on which shares of our common stock
    are traded. Each of the First Reserve Stockholders and the AMCI
    Parties will designate two nominees for
    election (initially, Messrs. Macaulay and Krueger, as
    to the First Reserve Stockholders, and Messrs. Kundrun and
    Mende as to the AMCI Parties). Our board of directors will
    designate as directors our chief executive officer
    (Mr. Quillen) and two other nominees who must be
    "independent" as that term is defined by the NYSE
    rules (initially Messrs. Draper and Fox), but the
    independent nominees must be reasonably acceptable to both the
    First Reserve Stockholders and the AMCI Parties. If at any time,
    either the First Reserve Stockholders or the AMCI Parties and
    their affiliates as a group beneficially own less than 15% of
    our outstanding shares of common stock, then the applicable
    party will only be entitled to designate one director, and if
    either the First Reserve Stockholders or the AMCI Parties and
    their affiliates as a group beneficially own less than 7.5% of
    our outstanding shares of common stock, then the applicable
    party will no longer be entitled to designate any directors
    pursuant to the stockholder agreement. If either of the First
    Reserve Stockholders or the AMCI Parties lose the right to
    designate one or both of their director designees due to a
    reduction in their percentage holdings of our outstanding shares
    of common stock below the applicable thresholds described in the
    preceding sentence, then the applicable party is obligated to
    cause the resignation or removal of their director designee or
    designees, as applicable, upon our request; and
•
Registration Rights:
Each of the First Reserve
    Stockholders and the AMCI Parties have the right in certain
    circumstances to require us to register their shares of common
    stock in connection with a public offering and sale. In
    addition, in connection with other registered offerings by us,
    existing holders of shares of its common stock will have the
    ability to exercise certain piggyback registration rights with
    respect to the shares. The registration statement of which this
    prospectus forms a part was filed by us pursuant to an exercise
    by the First Reserve Stockholders of their demand registration
    rights and includes the registration of the offer and sale of
    shares by the AMCI Parties and other Stockholders pursuant to an
    exercise of their piggyback registration rights.

credit facility and a funded letter of credit facility of up to
$50.0 million. The revolving credit facility includes
$20.0 million of availability for borrowings on same-day
notice, referred to as swingline loans and $50.0 million
for additional letters of credit. The revolving credit facility
commitment will terminate in May 2009. As of June 30, 2005,
we had approximately $78.0 million of indebtedness and
$53.4 million of letters of credit outstanding under our
credit facility, and additional borrowing available under the
revolving portion of our credit facility of $43.6 million.
Concurrently with the closing of the Nicewonder Acquisition, we
expect to enter into a new $500.0 million senior secured
credit facility as more fully described below under
"— New Credit Facility."
Interest Rate and Fees
All borrowings under our credit facility bear interest, at our
option, at either: (A) an "alternate base rate"
equal to, for any day, the higher of: (i) 0.50% per
year above the overnight federal funds effective rate, as
published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, as in effect from time to time; and (ii) the annual
rate of interest in effect for that day announced by the
administrative agent as its "base rate"
plus
a
rate dependent on our leverage ratio, ranging from 2.00% to
1.25% per year, or (B) a "LIBO rate" equal
to the rate (adjusted for statutory reserve requirements for
eurocurrency liabilities) at which eurodollar deposits for the
relevant interest period (which will be one, two, three or six
months, as selected by us) are offered in the interbank
eurodollar market, as determined by the administrative agent,
plus
a rate dependent on our leverage ratio, ranging from
3.00% to 2.25% per year. The rates that depend on our
leverage ratio range from the high rate specified if the ratio
is greater than or equal to 3.00 to 1.0 to the low rate
specified if the ratio is less than 1.50 to 1.0.
In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under
the revolving credit facility, we are required to pay a
usage-dependent commitment fee on the available unused
commitment under the revolving credit facility. The fee is equal
to: (a) 0.25% per year, in the event that the usage of
the revolving credit facility is at least 66.67%,
(b) 0.375% per year, in the event that the usage of
the revolving credit facility is at least 33.33% but less than
66.67%, and (c) 0.50% per year, in the event that the
usage of the revolving credit facility is less then 33.33%. For
purposes of calculating the commitment fee, swingline loans will
not be considered usage of the revolving credit facility. The
fee accrues quarterly.
We are also required to pay a letter of credit fee calculated at
a rate equal to the spread over the "LIBO rate" under
the credit facility per annum of the face amount of each letter
of credit and a fronting fee equal to a percentage per annum, as
agreed with the issuing bank, of the face amount of each letter
of credit. In addition, we pay customary transaction charges in
connection with any letters of credit.
Prepayments
We are required to prepay borrowings under our credit facility:
(1) with 100% of the net cash proceeds received by us from
asset sales or other dispositions of property (including
insurance and other condemnation proceedings), subject to
certain exceptions and reinvestment provisions, (2) with
100% of the net cash proceeds received by us from the issuance
of debt securities or other incurrences of debt, excluding the
senior notes of Alpha Natural Resources, LLC and certain other
indebtedness, and (3) 50% (or 25%, if our leverage ratio is
less than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00 but greater than 1.00 to
1.00, or 0% if our leverage ratio is less than or equal to 1.00
to 1.00) of the net cash proceeds of our equity issuances.

on the material assets of ANR Holdings and Alpha Natural
Resources, LLC and its domestic subsidiaries, including:
(1) a pledge by ANR Holdings of its membership interests in
Alpha Natural Resources, LLC, (2) a pledge by Alpha Natural
Resources, LLC and its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries
of all of the capital stock (or other ownership interests) of
their respective domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the capital

to certain exceptions in cases where the cost of obtaining the
liens exceeds the benefits thereof. In addition, indebtedness
under our credit facility is guaranteed by ANR Holdings and the
domestic subsidiaries of Alpha Natural Resources, LLC. In
connection with the Internal Restructuring, we amended the
credit facility to add Alpha NR Holding, Inc. and Alpha NR
Ventures, Inc. as guarantors and these entities granted a lien
in favor of the lenders on their material assets, including a
pledge of their membership interests in ANR Holdings, LLC.
Certain Covenants and Events of Default
Our credit facility contains a number of covenants that
restrict, among other things and subject to certain exceptions,
our ability to:
•
incur debt;
•
grant liens;
•
enter into agreements with negative pledge clauses;
•
provide guarantees in respect of obligations of any other person;
•
pay dividends and make other distributions;
•

•
investments, advances and acquisitions;

sell our assets;
•
make redemptions and repurchases of capital stock;

covenants:
•
we must maintain a leverage ratio, defined as the ratio of total
    debt to EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement);
•
we must maintain an interest coverage ratio, defined as the
    ratio of EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement), to cash
    interest expense (defined as the sum of cash interest expense
    plus cash letter of credit fees and commissions); and
•
a limitation on our capital expenditures.
New Credit Facility
Overview
In connection with the Nicewonder Acquisition, we expect that
Alpha Natural Resources, LLC will enter into a senior secured
credit facility with Citicorp North America, Inc, as
administrative agent, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as joint
lead arranger and joint book manager, UBS Securities, LLC, as
syndication agent, joint lead arranger and joint book manager,
and each lender party thereto.
We expect the new senior secured credit facility will provide
senior secured financing of $500.0 million, consisting of
•
a $250.0 million term loan facility; and
•
a $250.0 million revolving credit facility.
Upon the occurrence of certain events, Alpha Natural Resources,
LLC may request an increase to the existing term loan facility
and/or the existing revolving credit facility in an amount not
to exceed $100.0 million, subject to receipt of commitments
by existing lenders or other financial institutions reasonably
acceptable to the administrative agent.
Alpha Natural Resources, LLC will be the borrower for the term
loan facility and the revolving credit facility. The revolving
credit facility will include borrowing capacity available for
letters of credit and for borrowings on same-day notice,
referred to as the swingline loans.
Interest Rate and Fees
We expect borrowings under the senior secured credit facility to
bear interest at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, at
our option, either (a) a base rate determined by reference
to the highest of (1) the base rate of Citibank, N.A.,
(2) the three-month certificate of deposit rate, plus
1
/
2
of 1%, and (3) the federal funds rate plus
1
/
2
of 1% or (b) the current LIBO rate as quoted by the
administrative agent, adjusted for reserve requirements, if any,
and subject to customary change of circumstance provisions, for
interest periods of one, two, three or six months. We expect the
initial applicable margin for borrowings under the revolving
credit facility and the term loan facility to be 1.0% with
respect to base rate borrowings and 2.0% with respect to LIBO
borrowings. The applicable margin for borrowings under the
revolving credit facility may be increased or reduced subject to
our attaining certain leverage ratios. We expect that the
applicable margin for borrowings under the term loan facility
will not be subject to adjustment.
In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under
the senior secured credit facility, Alpha Natural Resources, LLC
will be required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under
the revolving credit facility in respect of the unutilized
commitments thereunder. We expect the initial commitment fee
rate to be 0.50% per annum. The commitment fee rate may be
reduced subject to Alpha Natural Resources, LLC attaining
certain leverage ratios. Alpha Natural Resources, LLC will also
pay customary letter of credit fees.
129
Table of Contents
Prepayments
We expect the senior secured credit facility will require Alpha
Natural Resources, LLC to prepay outstanding term loans, subject
to certain exceptions, with:
•
100% of the net cash proceeds from any issuance or incurrence of
    debt by Alpha NR Holdings, Inc. or its subsidiaries, subject to
    customary exceptions to be agreed upon; and
•
100% of the net cash proceeds in excess of certain thresholds,
    to be negotiated, per fiscal year from asset sales and casualty
    and condemnation events, subject to customary exceptions and
    reinvestment rights to be agreed upon.
We expect the foregoing mandatory prepayments will be applied to
the remaining installments of the term loan facility on a pro
rata basis.
We expect that Alpha Natural Resources, LLC may voluntarily
repay outstanding loans under the senior secured credit facility
at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary
"breakage" costs, if applicable.
Amortization
Alpha Natural Resources, LLC will be required to repay
installments on the loans under the term loan facility in
quarterly principal amounts of 0.25% of their funded total
principal amount for the first six years and nine months, with
the remaining amount payable on the date that is seven years
from the date of the closing of the senior secured credit
facility.
We expect that principal amounts outstanding under the revolving
credit facility will be due and payable in full at maturity,
five years from the date of the closing of the senior secured
credit facility.
Guarantee and Security
We expect all obligations under the senior secured credit
facility will be unconditionally guaranteed by Alpha NR
Holdings, Inc. and each of its existing and future direct and
indirect domestic subsidiaries (other than Alpha Natural
Resources, LLC, the borrower), referred to, collectively, as
Guarantors.
We expect all obligations under the senior secured credit
facility, and the guarantees of those obligations, will be
secured by substantially all the assets of Alpha Natural
Resources, LLC and each Guarantor, including, but not limited
to, the following, and subject to certain exceptions:
•
a pledge of (i) all notes owned by Alpha Natural Resources,
    LLC and the Guarantors and (ii) 100% of the capital stock
    (or other ownership interests) owned by Alpha Natural Resources,
    LLC and the Guarantors (but not more than 66% of the voting
    stock of each foreign subsidiary of Alpha Natural Resources, LLC
    and the Guarantors); and
•
a security interest in substantially all the tangible and
    intangible personal property and all material real property of
    Alpha Natural Resources, LLC and each Guarantor.
Certain Covenants and Events of Default
We expect the senior secured credit facility will contain a
number of covenants that, among other things, will restrict,
subject to certain exceptions, Alpha Natural Resources,
LLC's ability, and the ability of each Guarantor, to:
•
sell assets;
•
incur additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock;
•
repay other indebtedness;
•
pay dividends and distributions or repurchase our capital stock;
•
create liens on assets;
•
make investments, loans or advances;
•
make certain acquisitions;
•
engage in mergers or consolidations;
130
Table of Contents
•
engage in certain transactions with affiliates;
•
amend certain material agreements governing our indebtedness,
    including the notes;
•
change the business conducted by Alpha NR Holdings, Inc. and its
    subsidiaries; and
•
enter into agreements that restrict dividends from subsidiaries.
In addition, we expect the new senior secured credit facility
will require Alpha NR Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries to
maintain the following financial covenants:
•
a maximum total leverage ratio;
•
a minimum interest coverage ratio; and
•
a maximum capital expenditures limitation.
We expect the new senior secured credit facility also will
contain certain customary affirmative covenants and events of
default
10% Senior Notes due 2012
General
In May 2004, Alpha Natural Resources, LLC and its wholly owned
subsidiary Alpha Natural Resources Capital Corp. (the
"Issuers") issued $175.0 million aggregate
principal amount of 10% senior notes due June 1, 2012.
The Issuers issued the senior notes in transactions exempt from
or not subject to registration under the Securities Act,
pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the
Securities Act. Interest on the senior notes accrues at the rate
of 10% per annum and is payable semi-annually on
June 1 and December 1.
Ranking
The senior notes are the Issuers' senior unsecured
obligations and rank equally in right of payment to all of the
Issuers' existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness;
rank senior in right of payment to any future senior
subordinated indebtedness and subordinated indebtedness of the
Issuers; and are effectively subordinated in right of payment to
the Issuers' secured indebtedness (including obligations
under our credit facility) to the extent of the value of the
assets securing the indebtedness, and all obligations of each of
the Issuers' future subsidiaries that are not guarantors.
Guarantees
The Issuers' obligations under the senior notes are jointly
and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of
Alpha Natural Resources, LLC's existing and future domestic
restricted subsidiaries. In addition, we anticipate that Alpha
NR Holding, Inc. and Alpha NR Ventures, Inc. will become
guarantors under the senior notes following this offering.
Optional Redemption
The Issuers may redeem any of the senior notes at any time on or
after June 1, 2008, in whole or in part, in cash at the
redemption prices described in the indenture governing the
senior notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of
redemption. In addition, on or before June 1, 2007, the
Issuers may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount
of senior notes at a redemption price equal to 110% of the
principal amount of senior notes with the net proceeds of
certain underwritten equity offerings. The Issuers may make that
redemption only if it occurs within 180 days of the
consummation of the underwritten equity offering and if, after
the redemption, at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount
of senior notes remains outstanding. The Issuers' may
redeem any of the senior notes at any time before June 1,
2008 in cash at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and
unpaid interest to the date of redemption and a make-whole
premium.
Change of Control
Upon a change of control, the Issuers may be required to make an
offer to purchase each holder's senior notes at a price
equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.
131
Table of Contents
Covenants
The indenture governing the senior notes contains covenants
that, among other things, limit the ability of the Issuers and
their restricted subsidiaries to:
•
incur additional indebtedness;
•
pay dividends on or make other distributions or repurchase the
    capital stock of the Issuers or their restricted subsidiaries;
•
make certain investments;
•
enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates;
•
create or permit to exist any limit on the ability of the
    Issuers' restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make
    other payments to the Issuers or their restricted subsidiaries,
    other than pursuant to the credit facility and the senior notes
    indenture;
•
use assets as security in other transactions; and
•
sell certain assets or merge with or into other companies.
These limitations are subject to a number of important
qualifications and exceptions as described in the indenture
governing the senior notes.
Events of Default
The indenture governing the senior notes also provides for
events of default which, if any of them occurs, would permit or
require the principal of and accrued interest on the senior
notes to become or to be declared due and payable. As of
September 30, 2004, we were in compliance in all material
respects with all covenants and provisions contained under the
indenture governing the senior notes.
Promissory Notes Related to Nicewonder Acquisition
    Purchase Price
A portion of the purchase price we have agreed to pay in the
Nicewonder Acquisition will consist of $221.0 million of
promissory installment notes of one of our indirect, wholly
owned subsidiaries. If issued, the notes will be payable in two
installments of $181.1 million one week after closing the
Nicewonder Acquisition and $39.9 million on
January 15, 2006. We anticipate that we will close our
purchase of the Nicewonder Coal Group in late October 2005;
however, we cannot assure you that the Nicewonder Acquisition
will be consummated in that time period or at all. Closing of
the acquisition of the Nicewonder Coal Group is subject to
certain conditions set forth in the acquisition agreements,
including securing financing, receiving necessary regulatory
approvals, entering into definitive agreements with certain
customers of the Nicewonder Coal Group, receiving third party
consents and other customary conditions.
Surety Bonds
Federal and state laws require surety bonds to secure our
obligations to reclaim lands disturbed for mining, to pay
federal and state workers' compensation and to satisfy
other miscellaneous obligations. The amount of the reclamation
bonds varies constantly, depending upon the amount of acreage
disturbed and the degree to which each property has been
reclaimed. Under federal law, partial bond release is provided
as mined lands (1) are backfilled and graded to approximate
original contour, (2) are re-vegetated and (3) achieve
pre-mining vegetative productivity levels on a sustained basis
for a period of five to 10 years.
We have a committed bonding facility with Travelers Casualty and
Surety Company of America, pursuant to which Travelers has
agreed, subject to certain conditions, to issue certain surety
bonds on behalf of us and our subsidiaries in a maximum amount
of $125.0 million. The bonding facility is supported by
letters of credit in an amount up to 50% of the aggregate bond
liability. As of June 30, 2005, we have posted an aggregate
of $96.0 million in reclamation bonds and $8.6 million
of other types of bonds under this facility. In connection with
our planned acquisition of the Nicewonder Coal Group, we will
amend our bonding facility with Travelers to increase the
maximum bonding amount to $150.0 million. On a pro forma
basis giving effect to the Nicewonder Acquisition, we would have
posted an aggregate of $107.8 million in reclamation bonds
under this facility as of June 30, 2005.

Anti-takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of Our Amended
and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Certain provisions of our restated certificate of incorporation
and amended and restated bylaws, which are summarized in the
following paragraphs, may have an anti-takeover effect and may
delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that
a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including
those attempts that might result in a premium over the market
price for the shares held by stockholders.
Removal of Directors; Vacancies
Our amended and restated bylaws provide that directors may be
removed with or without cause upon the affirmative vote of
holders of at least a majority of the shares of stock entitled
to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together
as a single class. In addition, our amended and restated bylaws
also provide that except as otherwise provided in the
stockholders agreement, any vacancies on our board of directors
and newly created directorships will be filled only by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors,
although less than a quorum.
No Cumulative Voting
The DGCL provides that stockholders are not entitled to the
right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless our
restated certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our
restated certificate of incorporation prohibits cumulative
voting.
Calling of Special Meetings of Stockholders
Our amended and restated bylaws provide that special meetings of
our stockholders may be called only by the chairman of our
board, our President or by resolution of our board of directors
and shall be called by our President or Secretary upon the
written request of at least 10% in interest of the stockholders
entitled to vote at the meeting.
Stockholder Action by Written Consent
Our amended and restated bylaws permit stockholder action by
written consent.
Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and
Director Nominations
Our amended and restated bylaws provide that stockholders
seeking to nominate candidates for election as directors or to
bring business before an annual meeting of stockholders must
provide timely notice of their proposal in writing to the
corporate secretary.
Generally, to be timely, a stockholder's notice must be
received at our principal executive offices not less than
90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first
anniversary date of the date on which the company first mailed
its proxy materials for the previous year's annual meeting.
Our amended and restated bylaws also specify requirements as to
the form and content of a stockholder's notice. These
provisions may impede stockholders' ability to bring
matters before an annual meeting of stockholders or make
nominations for directors at an annual meeting of stockholders.
Amendments to Our Amended and Restated Bylaws
Our restated certificate of incorporation grants our board of
directors the authority to amend and repeal our bylaws without a
stockholder vote in any manner not inconsistent with the laws of
the State of Delaware.

Table of Contents
Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and
Directors
The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the
personal liability of directors to corporations and their
stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of
directors' fiduciary duties. Our restated certificate of
incorporation includes a provision that eliminates the personal
liability of directors for monetary damages for actions taken as
a director, except for liability:
•
for breach of duty of loyalty;
•
for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional
    misconduct or knowing violation of law;
•
under Section 174 of the DGCL (unlawful dividends); or
•
transactions from which the director derived improper personal
    benefit.
Our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and
restated bylaws provide that we must indemnify our directors and
officers to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL. We are
also expressly authorized to carry directors' and
officers' insurance providing indemnification for our
directors, officers, employees and agents for some liabilities.
We believe that these indemnification provisions and insurance
are useful to attract and retain qualified directors and
executive officers.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in
our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and
restated bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a
lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty.
These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the
likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and
officers, even though a derivative action, if successful, might
otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. In addition, your
investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the
costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and
officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding
involving any of our directors, officers, employees or agents
for which indemnification is sought.
Corporate Opportunities
Our restated certificate of incorporation will provide for the
allocation of certain corporate opportunities between us, on the
one hand, and the First Reserve Stockholders, the AMCI Parties,
and their affiliates, on the other hand. Specifically:
•
None of the First Reserve Stockholders, the AMCI Parties, or the
    funds or other entities controlled by, or under common control
    with, them (each a "Control Stockholder," and
    collectively, the "Control Stockholders") or any
    director, officer, member, partner, stockholder or employee of a
    Control Stockholder (each a "Specified Party") will
    have any duty to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in
    the same or similar business activities or lines of business as
    we do.
•
Except as noted below, we renounce any interest or expectancy
    that we may have in any potential transaction which may be a
    corporate opportunity for any Control Stockholder or Specified
    Party, as applicable, on the one hand, and us, on the other
    hand, and therefore, none of the Control Stockholders or
    Specified Parties will have any duty to communicate or offer any
    such corporate opportunity to us, and will be entitled to pursue
    or acquire such opportunity for itself, and we will have no
    right in or to any such opportunity. Notwithstanding the prior
    sentence, we are not renouncing any interest or expectancy in
    any such corporate opportunity that is offered to any Control
    Stockholder or Specified Party that is also one of our
    directors, officers, or employees, if (i) such opportunity
    is expressly offered to such Control Stockholder or Specified
    Party solely in, and as a direct result of, his or her capacity
    as our director, officer or employee; (ii) we would be
    permitted to undertake the opportunity under our amended and
    restated certificate of incorporation, and (iii) we have
    sufficient financial resources and are in a line of business to
    undertake the opportunity.
Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute
We have opted out of Section 203 of the DGCL. Subject to
specified exceptions, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held
Delaware corporation from engaging in a "business
combination" with an "interested stockholder" for
a period of three years after the date of the transaction in
which the person became an interested stockholder.
"Business combinations" include mergers, asset sales
and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the
"interested stockholder." Subject to
135
Table of Contents
various exceptions, an "interested stockholder" is a
person who together with his or her affiliates and associates,
owns, or within three years did own, 15% or more of the
corporation's outstanding voting stock. These restrictions
generally prohibit or delay the accomplishment of mergers or
other takeover or change-in-control attempts.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
EquiServe Trust Company, N.A. is the transfer agent and
registrar for our common stock.
Listing
Our common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the
symbol "ANR."
Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock
The DGCL does not require stockholder approval for any issuance
of authorized shares. However, the listing requirements of the
New York Stock Exchange, which would apply so long as our common
stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, require
stockholder approval of certain issuances equal to or exceeding
20% of the then-outstanding voting power or then outstanding
number of shares of common stock. These additional shares may be
used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future
public offerings, to raise additional capital or to facilitate
acquisitions.
One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved
common stock may be to enable our board of directors to issue
shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance
could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain
control of our company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy
contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of our
management and possibly deprive the stockholders of
opportunities to sell their shares of common stock at prices
higher than prevailing market prices.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
We cannot predict what effect, if any, market sales of shares of
common stock or the availability of shares of common stock for
sale will have on the market price of our common stock.
Nevertheless, sales of substantial amounts of common stock in
the public market, or the perception that such sales could
occur, could materially and adversely affect the market price of
our common stock and could impair our future ability to raise
capital through the sale of our equity or equity-related
securities at a time and price that we deem appropriate.
Upon the closing of this offering, we will have outstanding
62,224,580 shares of our common stock, plus, assuming that
the Nicewonder Acquisition has closed prior to this offering,
the shares of our common stock issued in connection with the
closing of the Nicewonder Acquisition, which will be equal to
approximately $60.0 million in value of shares of our
common stock based on the weighted average trading price of our
common stock during the 20-day trading period immediately prior
to the Nicewonder Acquisition closing. Of the outstanding
shares, the shares sold in this offering and in our IPO, as well
as shares that have been resold since the IPO pursuant to
Rule 144 or Rule 701 or issued by us pursuant to our
registration statement on Form S-8, will be freely
tradeable without restriction or further registration under the
Securities Act, except that any shares held by our
"affiliates," as that term is defined under
Rule 144 of the Securities Act, may be sold only in
compliance with the limitations described below. The remaining
outstanding shares of common stock were issued and sold by us in
private transactions and have not been resold pursuant to
Rule 144 or Rule 701 and are therefore
"restricted securities" as that term is defined under
Rule 144. These remaining shares are eligible for public
sale if registered under the Securities Act or sold in
accordance with Rule 144 or Rule 701 under the
Securities Act, which are summarized below. As a result of the
provisions of Rule 144 and 701 and our registration
statement on Form S-8, of the restricted securities will be
eligible for sale in the public market following the expiration
of
the           -day
lock-period described below under "— Lock-Up
Agreements" (in all cases subject to the requirement that
no unvested shares may be sold before they vest).
Rule 144
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person
(or persons whose shares are required to be aggregated),
including an affiliate, who has beneficially owned
"restricted securities" for at least one year is
entitled to sell in any three-month period a number of shares
that does not exceed the greater of:
•
1% of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding,
    which will equal approximately 62,224,580 shares, plus,
    assuming that the Nicewonder Acquisition has closed prior to
    this offering, the shares of our common stock issued in
    connection with the closing of the Nicewonder Acquisition
    immediately after this offering; and
•
the average weekly reported volume of trading in the common
    stock on the New York Stock Exchange during the four calendar
    weeks preceding the date on which notice of sale is filed,
    subject to restrictions.
Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner of sale
provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of
current public information about us. Rule 144 also provides
that our affiliates who sell shares of our common stock that are
not restricted shares must nonetheless comply with the same
restrictions applicable to restricted shares with the exception
of the holding period requirement.
Rule 144(k)
Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not deemed to have been
one of our affiliates for purposes of the Securities Act at any
time during the 90 days preceding a sale and who has
beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least
two years, including the holding period of any prior owner other
than our affiliates, would be entitled to sell those shares
without complying with the manner of sale, public information,
volume limitation or notice requirements of Rule 144.
Rule 701
In general, under Rule 701 as currently in effect, any of
our employees who acquired shares from us in connection with a
compensatory stock or option plan or other written agreement,
including pursuant to the Internal Restructuring, in a
transaction that was completed in reliance on Rule 701 and
complied with the requirements of Rule 701 is now eligible
to resell such shares in reliance on Rule 144, but without
compliance with certain restrictions, including the holing
period, contained in Rule 144.

continuing through the

consent
of                                          .
The restrictions described in the previous paragraph do not

    ownership interests of which are held by the transferor; or
    distributions of shares to limited partners or stockholders of
    the transferor, in each case provided that the transferee or
    distributee (other than any donee unrelated to the donor) agrees
    to be bound by the restrictions described in the previous
    paragraph;

    our executive officers (other than our Chief Executive Officer)
    under their existing trading plans.
Registration Rights
The stockholder agreement provides that both the First Reserve
Stockholders and the AMCI Parties each have the right to require
us to register their shares of common stock in connection with a
public offering and sale, which right will terminate with
respect to either stockholder group when that group holds less
than 10% of the registrable shares (as defined in the
stockholder agreement). In addition, in connection with other
registered offerings by us, holders of shares of our common
stock issued in the Internal Restructuring and in connection
with the Nicewonder Acquisition will have the ability to
exercise certain piggyback registration rights with respect to
such shares.
Stock Options
Pursuant to the Alpha Coal Management Long-Term Incentive Plan,
there are outstanding as of September 15, 2005 options to
purchase an aggregate of 526,289 shares of common stock,
which options vest at 20% per annum over a period of five
years beginning November 10, 2005. Pursuant to our Long
Term Incentive Plan, there are outstanding as of
September 15, 2005 options to purchase an aggregate of
742,905 shares of common stock, which also vest at
20% per annum over a five-year period. We filed a
registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act
to register all shares of common stock subject to outstanding
options and otherwise reserved for issuance under the Alpha Coal
Management Long-term Incentive Plan and the Long Term Incentive
Plan. After expiration of the applicable contractual resale
restrictions, shares covered by these registration statements
will be eligible for sale in the public markets, other than
shares owned by our affiliates, which may be sold in the public
market if they are registered or qualify for an exemption from
registration under Rule 144.

Table of Contents
MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME AND ESTATE TAX
CONSEQUENCES
TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS
The following is a summary of certain United States federal
income and estate tax consequences of the purchase, ownership
and disposition of our common stock as of the date of this
prospectus. Except where noted, this summary deals only with
common stock that is held as a capital asset by a
non-U.S. holder. A "non-U.S. holder" means a
person (other than a partnership) that is not for United States
federal income tax purposes any of the following:
•
an individual citizen or resident of the United States including
    an alien individual who is a lawful permanent resident of the
    United States or meets the "substantial presence" test
    under Section 7701(b) of the Code;
•
a corporation (or any other entity treated as a corporation for
    United States federal income tax purposes) created or organized
    in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or
    the District of Columbia;
•
an estate the income of which is subject to United States
    federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
•
a trust if it (1) is subject to the primary supervision of
    a court within the United States and one or more United States
    persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions
    of the trust or (2) has a valid election in effect under
    applicable United States Treasury regulations to be treated as a
    United States person.
This summary is based upon provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and
regulations, rulings and judicial decisions as of the date
hereof. Those authorities may be changed, perhaps retroactively,
so as to result in United States federal income and estate tax
consequences different from those summarized below. This summary
does not address all aspects of United States federal income and
estate taxes and does not deal with foreign, state, local or
other tax considerations that may be relevant to
non-U.S. holders in light of their personal circumstances.
In addition, it does not represent a detailed description of the
United States federal income and estate tax consequences
applicable to you if you are subject to special treatment under
the United States federal income tax laws (including if you are
a United States expatriate, "controlled foreign
corporation," "passive foreign investment
company," or corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid
United States federal income tax). A change in law may alter
significantly the tax considerations that we describe in this
summary.
If a partnership holds our common stock, the tax treatment of a
partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and
the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a
partnership holding our common stock, you should consult your
tax advisors.
If you are considering the purchase of our common stock, we
recommend that you consult your own tax advisors concerning the
particular United States federal income and estate tax
consequences to you of the ownership of the common stock, as
well as the consequences to you arising under the laws of any
other taxing jurisdiction.
Dividends
In the event that we pay dividends, dividends paid to a
non-U.S. holder of our common stock generally will be
subject to withholding of United States federal income tax at a
30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable
income tax treaty. However, dividends that are effectively
connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the
non-U.S. holder within the United States (and, where a tax
treaty applies, are attributable to a United States permanent
establishment of the non-U.S. holder) are not subject to
the withholding tax, provided certain certification and
disclosure requirements are satisfied. Instead, such dividends
are subject to United States federal income tax on a net income
basis in the same manner as if the non-U.S. holder were a
United States person as defined under the Code. Any such
effectively connected dividends received by a foreign
corporation may be subject to an additional "branch profits
tax" at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified
by an applicable income tax treaty.
A non-U.S. holder of our common stock who wishes to claim
the benefit of an applicable treaty rate and avoid backup
withholding, as discussed below, for dividends will be required
to (a) complete Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN
(or other applicable form) and certify under penalty of perjury
that such holder is not a United States person as defined under
the Code or (b) if our common stock is held through certain
foreign intermediaries, satisfy the relevant certification
requirements of applicable United States Treasury regulations.
Special certification and other requirements apply to certain
non-U.S. holders that are entities rather than individuals.
A non-U.S. holder of our common stock eligible for a
reduced rate of United States withholding tax pursuant to an
income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts
withheld by filing an appropriate claim for refund with the
Internal Revenue Service.
139
Table of Contents
Gain on Disposition of Common Stock
Any gain realized on the disposition of our common stock
generally will not be subject to United States federal income
tax unless:
•
the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business of
    the non-U.S. holder in the United States, and, if required
    by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a United
    States permanent establishment of the non-U.S. holder;
•
the non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the
    United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of
    that disposition, and certain other conditions are met; or
•
we are or have been a "United States real property holding
    corporation" for United States federal income tax purposes.
An individual non-U.S. holder described in the first bullet
point immediately above will be subject to tax on the net gain
derived from the sale under regular graduated United States
federal income tax rates. An individual non-U.S. holder
described in the second bullet point immediately above will be
subject to a flat 30% tax on the gain derived from the sale,
which may be offset by United States source capital losses, even
though the individual is not considered a resident of the United
States. If a non-U.S. holder that is a foreign corporation
falls under the first bullet point immediately above, it
generally will be subject to tax on its net gain in the same
manner as if it were a United States person as defined under the
Code and, in addition, may be subject to the branch profits tax
equal to 30% of its effectively connected earnings and profits
or at such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable
income tax treaty.
We believe that we are currently a "United States real
property holding corporation" for United States federal
income tax purposes. So long as our common stock is regularly
traded on an established securities market, only a
non-U.S. holder who holds or held (at any time during the
shorter of the five year period preceding the date of
disposition or the holder's holding period) more than 5% of
our common stock will be subject to United States federal income
tax on the disposition of our common stock.
If a non-U.S. holder owned directly or indirectly more than
5% of our common stock at any time during the applicable period
or our common stock was not considered to be "regularly
traded on an established securities market," then any gain
recognized by a non-U.S. holder on the sale or other
disposition of our common stock would be treated as effectively
connected with a U.S. trade or business and would be
subject to U.S. federal income tax at regular graduated
U.S. federal income tax rates and in much the same manner
as applicable to U.S. persons. In such a case, the
non-U.S. holder could also be subject to certain
withholding taxes imposed on the gross proceeds realized with
respect to the sale or other disposition of our common stock.
Federal Estate Tax
Common stock held by an individual non-U.S. holder at the
time of death will be included in such holder's gross
estate for United States federal estate tax purposes, unless an
applicable estate tax treaty provides otherwise.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
We must report annually to the Internal Revenue Service and to
each non-U.S. holder the amount of dividends paid to such
holder and the tax withheld with respect to such dividends,
regardless of whether withholding was required. Copies of the
information returns reporting such dividends and withholding may
also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in
which the non-U.S. holder resides under the provisions of
an applicable income tax treaty.
A non-U.S. holder will be subject to backup withholding for
dividends paid to such holder unless such holder certifies under
penalty of perjury that it is a non-U.S. holder, and the
payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such
holder is a United States person as defined under the Code, or
such holder otherwise establishes an exemption.
Information reporting and, depending on the circumstances,
backup withholding will apply to the proceeds of a sale of our
common stock within the United States or conducted through
certain United States-related financial intermediaries, unless
the beneficial owner certifies under penalty of perjury that it
is a non-U.S. holder (and the payor does not have actual
knowledge or reason to know that the beneficial owner is a
United States person as defined under the Code) or such owner
otherwise establishes an exemption.
Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be
allowed as a refund or a credit against a
non-U.S. holder's United States federal income tax
liability provided the required information is furnished to the
Internal Revenue Service.

UNDERWRITING
We, the selling stockholders and the underwriters named below
have entered into an underwriting agreement with respect to the
shares being offered. Subject to certain conditions, each
underwriter has severally agreed to purchase the number of
shares indicated in the following
table.                     is
acting as book-running manager and representative of the
underwriters.

Number of Shares
Total
The underwriters are committed to take and pay for all of the
shares of common stock being offered, if any are taken, other
than the shares of common stock covered by the option described
below unless and until this option is exercised.
If the underwriters sell more shares of common stock than the
total number set forth in the table above, the underwriters have
an option to buy up to an
additional                      shares
of common stock from the selling stockholders. They may exercise
that option for 30 days. If any shares of common stock are
purchased pursuant to this option, the underwriters will
severally purchase shares of common stock in approximately the
same proportion as set forth in the table above.
The following table shows the per share and total underwriting
discount to be paid to the underwriters by the selling
stockholders. Such amounts are shown assuming both no exercise
and full exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment
option to purchase up
to                     additional
shares of common stock from the selling stockholders.

Shares of common stock sold by the underwriters to the public
will initially be offered at the offering price set forth on the
cover of this prospectus. Any shares of common stock sold by the
underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount of
up to
$          per
share from the offering price. If all the shares of common stock
are not sold at the offering price, the representatives may
change the offering price and the other selling terms.
We, our directors and executive officers and the selling
stockholders have agreed with the underwriters not to sell,
dispose of or hedge any of their common stock or securities
convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock,
subject to certain exceptions, during the period from the date
of this prospectus continuing through the date that
is            days
after the date of this prospectus, except with the prior written
consent
of                     .
See "Shares Eligible for Future Sale" for a discussion
of certain transfer restrictions and certain exceptions to
the           -day
lock-up period.
Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under
the symbol "ANR."
In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase
and sell shares of common stock in the open market. These
transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions
and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short
sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number
of shares of common stock than they are required to purchase in
the offering. "Covered" short sales are sales made in
an amount not greater than the underwriters' option to
purchase additional shares of common stock from the selling
stockholders. The underwriters may close out any covered short
position by either exercising their option to purchase
additional shares of common stock or purchasing shares of common
stock in the open market. In determining the source of shares to
close out the covered short position, the underwriters will
consider, among other things, the price of shares available for
purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which
they may purchase additional shares of common stock pursuant to
the option granted to them. "Naked" short sales are
any sales in excess of such option. The underwriters must close
out any naked short position by purchasing shares of common
stock in the open market. A naked short position is more likely
to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may
be downward pressure on the price of the common stock in the
open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors
who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist
of various bids for or purchases of common stock made by the
underwriters in the open market prior to the completion of the
offering.
141
Table of Contents
The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when
a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of
the underwriting discount received by it because the
representatives have repurchased shares of common stock sold by
or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short
covering transactions.
Purchases to cover a short position and stabilizing transactions
may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the
market price of our common stock, and together with the
imposition of the penalty bid, may stabilize, maintain or
otherwise affect the market price of the common stock. As a
result, the price of the common stock may be higher than the
price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these
activities are commenced, they may be discontinued at any time.
These transactions may be effected on the New York Stock
Exchange, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.
Each underwriter has represented, warranted and agreed that:
(i) it has not offered or sold and, prior to the expiry of
a period of six months from the closing of the offering, will
not offer or sell any shares of common stock to persons in the
United Kingdom except to persons whose ordinary activities
involve them in acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of
investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their
businesses or otherwise in circumstances which have not resulted
and will not result in an offer to the public in the United
Kingdom within the meaning of the Public Offers of Securities
Regulations 1995; (ii) it has only communicated or caused
to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be
communicated any invitation or inducement to engage in
investment activity (within the meaning of section 21 of
the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 ("FSMA"))
received by it in connection with the issue or sale of any
shares in circumstances in which section 21(1) of the FSMA
does not apply to us; and (iii) it has complied and will
comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect
to anything done by it in relation to the shares in, from or
otherwise involving the United Kingdom.
The shares may not be offered or sold, transferred or delivered,
as part of their initial distribution or at any time thereafter,
directly or indirectly, to any individual or legal entity in the
Netherlands other than to individuals or legal entities who or
which trade or invest in securities in the conduct of their
profession or trade, which includes banks, securities
intermediaries, insurance companies, pension funds, other
institutional investors and commercial enterprises which, as an
ancillary activity, regularly trade or invest in securities.
We estimate that the total expenses of the offering, excluding
underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately
$                    .
We and the selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify the
several underwriters against certain liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 or to contribute to
payments the underwriters may be required to make because of any
of these liabilities.
The underwriters and their affiliates have from time to time
provided, and expect to provide in the future, investment
banking, commercial banking and other financial services to us
and our affiliates for which they have received and may continue
to receive customary fees and commissions.
A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the
websites maintained by one or more of the underwriters. The
representatives may agree to allocate a number of shares to
underwriters for sale to their online brokerage account holders.
The representatives will allocate shares to underwriters that
may make Internet distributions on the same basis as other
allocations. In addition, shares may be sold by the underwriters
to securities dealers who resell shares to online brokerage
account holders.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
We have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") a registration statement on Form S-1 under
the Securities Act with respect to the issuance of shares of our
common stock being offered hereby. This prospectus, which forms
a part of the registration statement, does not contain all of
the information set forth in the registration statement. For
further information with respect to us and the shares of our
common stock, reference is made to the registration statement.

Business and Basis of Presentation
Organization and Business
Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. and its operating subsidiaries are
engaged in the business of extracting, processing and marketing
coal from deep and surface mines, located in the Central and
Northern Appalachian regions of the United States, for sale to
utility and steel companies in the United States and in
international markets.
On February 11, 2005, Alpha Natural Resources, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (Alpha) succeeded to the business of ANR
Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (ANR
Holdings) in a series of internal restructuring transactions
which are referred to collectively as the Internal
Restructuring, and on February 18, 2005, Alpha completed
the initial public offering of its common stock. Prior to the
Internal Restructuring, ANR Fund IX Holdings, L.P. and
Alpha NR Holding, Inc. (the FR Affiliates), entities under the
common control of First Reserve GP IX, Inc., were the owners of
54.7% of the membership interests in ANR Holdings, and the
remaining membership interests in ANR Holdings were held by
affiliates of American Metals & Coal International,
Inc. (AMCI), Alpha Coal Management, LLC (ACM) and Madison
Capital Funding, LLC. The financial statements for the six
months ended June 30, 2005 are presented on a combined
basis including the combined financial results for the FR
Affiliates and subsidiaries for the period from January 1,
2005 to February 11, 2005, and the consolidated results for
Alpha and subsidiaries from February 12, 2005 to
June 30, 2005. The financial statements for the three
months ended June 30, 2005 are presented on a consolidated
basis. The financial statements for the period from
April 1, 2004 to June 30, 2004 and for the periods
from January 1, 2004 to June 30, 2004 are presented
for the FR Affiliates and subsidiaries on a combined basis. The
entities included in the accompanying financial statements are
collectively referred to as "the Company."
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial reporting. Accounting measurements at interim dates
inherently rely on estimates more than year-end; however, in the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included. Results of operations for the six months
ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the year ending December 31,
2005. These financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited financial statements and related notes as of
and for the year ended December 31, 2004 included in the
Annual Report on Form 10-K of Alpha filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform
to the current year presentation with no effect on previously
reported net income.

Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or
loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings per share is
computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock
equivalents outstanding during the periods. Common stock
equivalents include the number of shares issuable on exercise of
outstanding options less the number of shares that could have
been purchased with the proceeds from the exercise of the
options based on the average price of common stock during the
period.

ALPHA NATURAL RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
Due to the Internal Restructuring on February 11, 2005 and
initial public offering of common stock completed on
February 18, 2005, the Company has disclosed for
informational purposes two sets of earnings per share data on
the face of the accompanying condensed consolidated statements
of operations.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share, as Adjusted
The first set of earnings per share data is labeled "net
income (loss) per share, as adjusted". The numerator for
purposes of computing basic and diluted net income (loss) per
share, as adjusted, includes the reported net income (loss) and
a pro forma adjustment for income taxes to reflect the pro forma
income taxes for ANR Fund IX Holdings, L.P.'s portion
of reported pre-tax income (loss), which would have been
recorded if the issuance of the shares of common stock received
by the FR Affiliates in exchange for their ownership in ANR
Holdings in connection with the Internal Restructuring had
occurred as of January 1, 2004. For purposes of the
computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share, as
adjusted, the pro forma adjustment for income taxes only applies
to the percentage interest owned by ANR Fund IX Holding,
L.P., the non-taxable FR Affiliate. No pro forma adjustment for
income taxes is required for the percentage interest owned by
Alpha NR Holding, Inc., the taxable FR Affiliate, because income
taxes have already been recorded in the historical results of
operations. Furthermore, no pro forma adjustment to reported net
income (loss) is necessary subsequent to February 11, 2005
because Alpha is subject to income taxes.
The denominator for purposes of computing basic net income
(loss) per share, as adjusted, reflects the retroactive impact
of the common shares received by the FR Affiliates in exchange
for their ownership in ANR Holdings in connection with the
Internal Restructuring on a weighted-average outstanding share
basis as being outstanding as of January 1, 2004. The
common shares issued to the minority interest owners of ANR
Holdings in connection with the Internal Restructuring,
including the immediately vested shares granted to management,
have been reflected as being outstanding as of February 11,
2005 for purposes of computing the basic net income (loss) per
share, as adjusted. The unvested shares granted to management on
February 11, 2005 that vest monthly over the two-year
period from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2006 are
included in the basic net income (loss) per share, as adjusted,
computation as they vest on a weighted-average outstanding share
basis starting on February 11, 2005. The 33,925,000 new
shares issued in connection with the initial public offering
have been reflected as being outstanding since February 14,
2005, the date of the initial public offering, for purposes of
computing the basic net income (loss) per share, as adjusted.
The unvested shares issued to management are considered options
for purposes of computing diluted net income (loss) per share,
as adjusted. Therefore, for diluted purposes, all remaining
unvested shares granted to management are added to the
denominator subsequent to February 11, 2005 using the
treasury stock method, if the effect is dilutive. In addition,
the treasury stock method is used for outstanding stock options,
if dilutive, beginning with the November 10, 2004 grant of
options to management to purchase units in ACM that were
automatically converted into options to purchase up to
596,985 shares of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. common
stock at an exercise price of $12.73 per share.

Pro Forma Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The second set of earnings per share data is labeled "pro
forma net income (loss) per share". The numerator for
purposes of computing basic and diluted pro forma net income
(loss) per share includes the reported net income (loss) and pro
forma adjustments to reflect the impact of:
(i) the additional income taxes on the portion of reported
    pre-tax income (loss) attributable to the portion owned by ANR
    Fund IX Holdings, L.P. for the periods from January 1,
    2005 to February 11, 2005, and from January 1, 2004 to
    June 30, 2004;
F-10
Table of Contents
ALPHA NATURAL RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(ii) the add back of minority interest for the periods from
    January 1, 2005 to February 11, 2005, and from
    January 1, 2004 to June 30, 2004 because the ownership
    held by the minority interest owners of ANR Holdings were
    exchanged for shares of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. as part of
    the Internal Restructuring;
(iii) the additional income taxes that would have been
    incurred by the Company on the minority interest added back for
    the periods from January 1, 2005 to February 11, 2005,
    and from January 1, 2004 to June 30, 2004; and
(iv) the issuance of $175,000 principle amount of
    10% senior notes due 2012 by our subsidiaries Alpha Natural
    Resources, LLC and Alpha Natural Resources Capital Corp. and the
    entry by Alpha Natural Resources, LLC into a $175,000 credit
    facility in May 2004, which we refer to as the 2004 Financings,
    as if these transactions had occurred on January 1, 2004.
No pro forma adjustment to reported net income (loss) will be
necessary subsequent to February 11, 2005.
The denominator for purposes of computing basic pro forma net
income (loss) per share reflects:
(i) the retroactive impact of the common shares received by
    the FR Affiliates in exchange for their ownership in ANR
    Holdings in connection with the Internal Restructuring on a
    weighted-average outstanding share basis as being outstanding as
    of January 1, 2004;
(ii) the retroactive impact of the common shares issued to
    the minority interest owners of ANR Holdings in connection with
    the Internal Restructuring, including the immediately vested
    shares granted to management, on a weighted-average outstanding
    share basis as being outstanding as of January 1, 2004;
(iii) the unvested shares granted to management that vest
    over the two-year period from January 1, 2005 to
    December 31, 2006 have been included in the basic
    computation on a weighted-average outstanding share basis which
    is based on the monthly vesting beginning as of January 1,
    2005; and
(iv) the retroactive impact of the 33,925,000 new shares
    issued in connection with the initial public offering on a
    weighted-average outstanding share basis as being outstanding as
    of January 1, 2004 since 100 percent of the net
    proceeds from the initial public offering was distributed to the
    previous owners of ANR Holdings.
The unvested shares issued to management are considered options
for purposes of computing diluted pro forma net income (loss)
per share. Therefore, for diluted purposes, all remaining
unvested shares granted to management would be added to the
denominator as of January 1, 2004 using the treasury stock
method, if the effect is dilutive. In addition, the treasury
stock method would be used for outstanding stock options, if
dilutive, beginning with the November 10, 2004 grant of
options to management to purchase units in ACM that were
automatically converted into options to purchase up to
596,985 shares of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. common
stock at an exercise price of $12.73 per share.

The Company had not granted equity-based awards prior to
November 2004. The fair value of equity-based awards granted in
November 2004, February 2005, and April 2005 was estimated on

customers. The Company operates only in the United States with
mines in the Central Appalachian and Northern Appalachian
regions. The Company has one reportable segment: Coal
Operations, which as of June 30, 2005, consisted of 45
underground mines and 22 surface mines located in Central

includes the Company's purchased coal sales function, which
markets the Company's Appalachian coal to domestic and
international customers. The All Other category includes the
Company's equipment sales and repair operations, as well as
other ancillary business activities, including terminal
services, coal and environmental analysis services, and leasing
of mineral rights. The Corporate and Eliminations category
includes general corporate overhead and the elimination of
intercompany transactions. The revenue elimination amount
represents inter-segment revenues. The Company evaluates the
performance of its segment based on EBITDA, as adjusted, which
the Company defines as net income (loss) plus interest expense,
income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, depletion and
amortization, less interest income, and adjusted for minority
interest. EBITDA, as adjusted, from continuing operations is
defined as income from continuing operations plus interest
expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, depletion
and amortization, less interest income, and adjusted for
minority interest.

Contingencies
(a)
Guarantees and Financial Instruments with Off-balance
    Sheet Risk
In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to
certain guarantees and financial instruments with off-balance
sheet risk, such as bank letters of credit and performance or
surety bonds. No liabilities related to these arrangements are
reflected in the Company's combined balance sheets.
Management does not expect any material losses to result from
these guarantees or off-balance sheet financial instruments. The
amount of bank letters of credit outstanding as of June 30,
2005 is $53,408. The amount of surety bonds currently
outstanding related to the Company's reclamation
obligations is presented in note 5 to the condensed
consolidated financial statements. The Company has provided
guarantees for equipment financing obtained by certain of its
contract mining operators totaling approximately $2,300. The
estimated fair value of these guarantees is not significant.
(b)
Litigation
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings from time
to time in the normal course of business. In management's
opinion, the Company is not currently involved in any legal
proceeding which individually or in the aggregate could have a
material effect on the financial condition, results of
operations and/or cash flows of the Company.
(11)
Discontinued Operations
On April 14, 2005, the Company sold the assets of its
Colorado mining subsidiary, National King Coal LLC, and related
trucking subsidiary, Gallup Transportation and Transloading
Company, LLC (collectively, "NKC"), to an unrelated
third party for cash in the amount of $4,400, plus an amount in
cash equal to the fair market value of NKC's coal
inventory, and the assumption by the buyer of certain
liabilities of NKC. The Company recorded a gain on the sale of
NKC of $704 for the quarter and six months ended June 30,
2005. The results of operations of NKC for the current and prior
periods have been reported in discontinued operations. National
King Coal LLC was previously reported in the Coal Operations
segment and Gallup Transportation and Transloading Company, LLC
was previously reported in the All Other segment (note 9).

Income Taxes
Since the condensed consolidated statements of operations for
the six months ended June 30, 2005 include activity both
prior to and after the Internal Restructuring and initial public
offering, the total income tax provision is the sum of the
provisions for the pre- and post-restructuring periods.
Prior to February 12, 2005, the minority interest owners
and ANR Fund IX Holdings, L.P. owned interests in ANR
Holdings, a limited liability company and pass-through entity
for income tax purposes. As a pass-through entity, ANR Holdings
provides information returns reflecting the allocated income
(loss) to the minority interest owners and ANR Fund IX
Holdings, L.P based upon their respective ownership percentage
and certain special allocations as provided by the limited
liability company agreement and the Internal Revenue Code. The
income tax consequences of the income (loss) allocated to these
owners for the period from January 1, 2005 to
February 11, 2005 and from January 1, 2004 to
June 30, 2004 is not reflected in the financial statements.
For these periods, only the income tax expense associated with
Alpha NR Holding, Inc., a taxable entity, is included. The
primary source of the income tax impact is derived from the
allocated income (loss) from ANR Holdings, Alpha Natural
Resources, LLC and its operating subsidiaries, all of which are
pass-through entities for tax purposes. Subsequent to the
Internal Restructuring and initial public offering, all of the
income of ANR Holdings is taxed to Alpha Natural Resources, Inc.
A tax provision of $9,089 was recorded for the three months
ended June 30, 2005 on pre-tax income from continuing
operations of $35,216, which equates to an effective tax rate of
25.8%.
A tax provision of $11,599 was recorded for the six months ended
June 30, 2005 on pre-tax income from continuing operations
of $15,323, which equates to an effective tax rate of 75.7%.
This rate is higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due
primarily to the majority of the stock-based compensation charge
associated with the issuance of common stock to management in
connection with the Internal Restructuring and initial public
offering not being deductible for tax purposes. The increase in
expected income tax expense related to the stock-based
compensation charge is offset in part by the tax benefits
associated with percentage depletion, the extraterritorial
income exclusion, and taxes not being provided for on the
minority interest and pass-through entity owners'
respective shares for the period prior to the restructuring. As
$33,029 of the stock-based compensation charge was identified as
a significant unusual item in the first quarter of 2005, the tax
effect of the $33,029 expense (no tax benefit) was recorded in
F-20

the first quarter of 2005 and excluded from the estimated annual
effective tax rate of approximately 26%. The Company's
effective tax rate for the interim periods is applied to pre-tax
income exclusive of the $33,029 stock-based compensation charge.

The Internal Restructuring resulted in an increase in the basis
of assets for income tax purposes, currently estimated at
$346,000, which resulted in a gross deferred tax asset of
$132,637. This amount was offset by an increase to the valuation
allowance of $106,908 as of the date of the Internal
Restructuring. The resulting net increase in deferred income
taxes of $25,729 was recorded as an increase to additional
paid-in capital, as the underlying change in the tax basis of
assets of the Company was caused by the Internal Restructuring
transactions between the Company and its stockholders.

Since the Company has not been in business long enough to
develop a strong earnings history (objective evidence as
required by generally accepted accounting principles), and due
to the likelihood that the alternative minimum tax will exceed
the regular tax in the future, the Company has recorded a
valuation allowance of $108,677 as of June 30, 2005. The
Company monitors the valuation allowance each quarter and makes
adjustments to the allowance through the tax provision as
appropriate based primarily upon continued development of an
earnings history and projected future earnings based on future
sales commitments, which impacts the utilization of deferred tax
assets.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R),
Share-Based Payment,
which requires companies to expense
the fair value of equity awards over the required service
period. This Statement is a revision of SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock
-
Based Compensation.
SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,
which uses the
intrinsic value method to value stock-based compensation. On
April 14, 2005, the SEC adopted a new rule that amends the
effective date of SFAS No. 123(R) to allow SEC
registrants to implement SFAS No. 123(R) as of the
beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after
June 15, 2005. The Company will adopt
SFAS No. 123(R) effective January 1, 2006.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors
Alpha Natural Resources, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of ANR
Fund IX Holdings, L.P. and Alpha NR Holding, Inc. and
subsidiaries (the Company or Successor) as of December 31, 2004
and 2003, and the related combined statements of operations,
stockholder's equity and partners' capital, and cash
flows for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the
period from December 14, 2002 to December 31, 2002 (Successor
Periods), and the combined statements of operations,
shareholder's equity, and cash flows for the period from
January 1, 2002 to December 13, 2002 (Predecessor Period).
These combined financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis of our opinion.
In our opinion, the aforementioned Successor combined financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of ANR Fund IX Holdings, L.P. and Alpha NR
Holding, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004 and 2003,
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the
Successor Periods, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. Further, in our opinion, the
aforementioned Predecessor combined financial statements present
fairly, in all material respects, the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the Predecessor Period, in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in note 1 to the combined financial statements,
effective December 13, 2002, the Company acquired the majority
of the Virginia coal operations of Pittston Coal Company, a
subsidiary of The Brink's Company (formerly known as The
Pittston Company), in a business combination accounted for as a
purchase. As a result of the acquisition, the combined financial
information for the periods after the acquisition is presented
on a different cost basis than that for the periods before the
acquisition and, therefore, is not comparable.

Business and Basis of Presentation
Organization and Business
ANR Fund IX Holdings, L.P. and Alpha NR Holding, Inc.,
formerly named Alpha Natural Resources, Inc., (together, the FR
Affiliates) are entities under the common control of First
Reserve GP IX, Inc. and were formed in 2002 to acquire coal
mining assets in the Appalachian region of the United States. In
December 2002, ANR Fund IX Holdings, L.P. and Alpha NR
Holding, Inc. formed ANR Holdings, LLC (ANR Holdings) and
acquired membership interests of approximately 11% and 89%,
respectively. ANR Holdings is the parent of Alpha Natural
Resources, LLC (Alpha) and the latter entity and its
subsidiaries acquired our Predecessor, the majority of the
Virginia coal operations of Pittston Coal Company, a subsidiary
of The Brink's Company (formerly known as The Pittston
Company), on December 13, 2002 (described in note 20).
The acquisition of Coastal Coal Company (described in
note 20) was completed on January 31, 2003 by
subsidiaries of ANR Holdings. The acquisition of U.S. AMCI
(described in note 20) was completed on March 11,
2003. Concurrent with the acquisition of U.S. AMCI, ANR
Holdings issued additional membership interests in the aggregate
amount of 45.3% to the former owners of U.S. AMCI, Madison
Capital Funding, LLC and members of management in exchange for
the net assets of U.S. AMCI and cash. After completion of
this transaction, the FR Affiliates owned 54.7% of ANR Holdings.
The acquisition of Mears Enterprises, Inc. and affiliated
entities (described in note 20) was completed on
November 17, 2003.
The financial statements for the period from December 14,
2002 to December 31, 2002, and the years ended
December 31, 2003 and 2004 are presented on a combined
basis. The entities included in the combined financial
statements, except our Predecessor, are collectively referred to
as "the Company".
The Company and its operating subsidiaries are engaged in the
business of extracting, processing and marketing coal from deep
and surface mines, principally located in the Eastern and
Southeastern regions of the United States, for sale to utility
and steel companies in the United States and in international
markets.

Principles of Combination
The accompanying combined financial statements include the
accounts of the Company described above. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Predecessor
Prior to December 13, 2002, the Company had no operations.
On December 13, 2002, the Company acquired the majority of
the Virginia coal operations of Pittston Coal Company (the
Combined Virginia Entity or Predecessor) through a number of
asset acquisitions by the Company's subsidiaries. The
Combined Virginia Entity is considered the Predecessor to the
Company. As such, the historical financial statements of the
Combined Virginia Entity are included in the accompanying
combined financial statements, including the combined statements
of operations, cash flows, and shareholders' equity, for
the period from January 1, 2002 to December 13, 2002
(the "Predecessor combined financial statements"). The
Predecessor combined financial statements are not necessarily
indicative of the future financial position or results of
operations of the Company.
The Predecessor's combined financial statements have not
been adjusted to give effect to the acquisition. For this
reason, the combined financial statements of the Company after
the acquisition are not comparable to the Predecessor's
combined financial statements prior to the acquisition.
The Company
The accompanying combined balance sheets as of December 31,
2004 and 2003, and the combined statements of operations, cash
flows, and stockholder's equity and partners' capital
for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the

Subsequent Internal Restructuring and Initial Public
    Offering
On February 11, 2005, the Company completed a series of
transactions to transition from a structure in which the
Company's top-tier holding company was a limited liability
company, ANR Holdings, to one in which the top-tier holding
company is a corporation, Alpha Natural Resources, Inc., which
was formed on November 29, 2004. These transactions are
referred to collectively as the Internal Restructuring, and they
included the following:
•
Alpha Coal Management, LLC (ACM) was dissolved and
    liquidated, after which (1) the interests in ANR Holdings
    previously held by ACM were distributed to and held directly by
    the Company's officers and employees who were owners of ACM
    prior to its dissolution and (2) outstanding

options to purchase units in ACM were automatically converted
    into options to purchase up to 596,985 shares of Alpha
    Natural Resources, Inc. common stock at an exercise price of
    $12.73 per share, and Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. assumed
    the obligations of ACM under the Alpha Coal Management, LLC 2004
    Long-Term Incentive Plan.
•
Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. assumed the obligations of ANR
    Holdings to make distributions to (1) affiliates of AMCI in

    incremental tax resulting from the recognition of additional tax
    liability resulting from the Internal Restructuring and
    (2) First Reserve Fund IX, L.P. in an aggregate amount
    of approximately $4,500, representing the approximate value of
    tax attributes conveyed as a result of the Internal
    Restructuring (collectively, the Sponsor Distributions). The
    Sponsor Distributions to affiliates of AMCI are payable in five
    equal installments on the dates for which estimated income tax
    payments are due in each of April 2005, June 2005, September
    2005, January 2006 and April 2006. The Sponsor Distributions to
    First Reserve Fund IX, L.P. are payable in three
    installments of approximately $2,100, $2,100 and $300 on
    December 15, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively. The Sponsor
    Distributions will be payable in cash or, to the extent Alpha
    Natural Resources, Inc. is not permitted by the terms of the
    senior credit facility or the indenture governing the senior
    notes to pay the Sponsor Distributions in cash, in shares of
    Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. common stock.
•
First Reserve Fund IX, L.P., the direct parent of Alpha NR
    Holding, Inc., contributed all of the outstanding common stock
    of Alpha NR Holding, Inc. to Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. in

    contributed all of their interests in ANR Holdings to Alpha
    Natural Resources, Inc. in exchange for 2,772,157 shares of
    Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. common stock.
•
The Board of Directors of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. declared
    a pro rata distribution to the former members of ANR Holdings in
    an aggregate amount equal to the net proceeds Alpha Natural
    Resources, Inc. received upon the exercise by the underwriters
    of their over-allotment option with respect to the public
    offering described below.
•
Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. recorded a change of $3,044 in net
    deferred income taxes (an estimated increase of $100,600 in
    gross deferred tax assets, less an estimated increase of $97,556
    in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets) recognized
    upon the completion of the Internal Restructuring.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices
(a)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid,
short-term investments. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at
cost, which approximates fair market value. For purposes of the
combined statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.
(b)
Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful
    Accounts
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount
and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is
the Company's best estimate of the amount of probable
credit losses in the Company's existing accounts
receivable. The Company establishes provisions for losses on
accounts receivable when it is probable that all or part of the
outstanding balance will not be collected. The Company regularly
reviews collectibility and establishes or adjusts the allowance
as necessary using the specific identification method. Account
balances are charged off against the allowance after all means
of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery
is considered remote. The Company does not have any
off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.
The changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts were as

STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(c)
Inventories
Coal inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The
cost of coal inventories is determined based on average cost of
production, which includes all costs incurred to extract,
transport and process the coal. Coal is classified as inventory
at the point in time the coal is extracted from the mine and
weighed at a loading facility.
Material and supplies inventories are valued at average cost,
less an allowance for obsolete and surplus items.
(d)
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Costs for mineral properties, mineral rights, and mine
development incurred to expand capacity of operating mines or to
develop new mines are capitalized and charged to operations on
the units-of-production method over the estimated proven and
probable reserve tons. Mine development costs include costs
incurred for site preparation and development of the mines
during the development stage. Mobile mining equipment and other
fixed assets are stated at cost and depreciated on a
straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from 2
to 20 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized, using
the straight-line method, over their estimated useful lives or
the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Major repairs and
betterments that significantly extend original useful lives or
improve productivity are capitalized and depreciated over the
period benefited. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as
incurred.
(e)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with SFAS No. 144,
Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets
, long-lived
assets, such as property, plant, equipment, and purchased
intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated
undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the
asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated
future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the
amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the
fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be
separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the
lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell,
and would no longer be depreciated. The assets and liabilities
of a disposal group classified as held for sale would be
presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability
sections of the balance sheet.
(f)
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of costs over fair value of net
assets of businesses acquired. Pursuant to
SFAS No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets
, goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a
purchase business combination and determined to have an
indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead tested for
impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions
of SFAS No. 142. The Company performs its impairment
test in August of each year. SFAS No. 142 also
requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be
amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their
estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in
accordance with SFAS No. 144. The impairment review in
August 2004 supported the carrying value of goodwill.
(g)
Health Insurance Programs
The Company is principally self-insured for costs of health and
medical claims. The Company utilizes commercial insurance to
cover specific claims in excess of $250.

STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(h)
Income Taxes
The Company and the Predecessor account for income taxes in
accordance with SFAS No. 109,
Accounting for Income
Taxes
, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and
liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events
that have been included in the financial statements or tax
returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities
are determined based on the difference between the financial
statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted
tax rates in effect for the year in which those items are
expected to reverse.
(i)
Asset Retirement Obligation
Minimum standards for mine reclamation have been established by
various regulatory agencies and dictate the reclamation
requirements at the Company's operations. The Company
records these reclamation obligations under the provisions of
SFAS No. 143,
Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations.
SFAS No. 143 requires the fair value
of a liability for an asset retirement obligation to be
recognized in the period in which the legal obligation
associated with the retirement of the long-lived asset is
incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the offset
is capitalized by increasing the carrying amount of the related
long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its
present value each period, and the capitalized cost is
depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. To settle
the liability, the obligation is paid, and to the extent there
is a difference between the liability and the amount of cash
paid, a gain or loss upon settlement is recorded. The Company
annually reviews its estimated future cash flows for its asset
retirement obligation.
In connection with the business acquisitions described in
note 20, the Company recorded the fair value of the
reclamation liabilities assumed as part of the acquisitions in
accordance with SFAS No. 143.
The Predecessor charged expenditures relating to environmental
regulatory requirements and reclamation costs undertaken during
mine operations against earnings as incurred. Estimated site
restoration and post-closure reclamation costs were charged
against earnings using the units-of-production method over the
expected economic life of each mine. Accrued reclamation costs
were subject to review by our Predecessor's management on a
regular basis and were revised when appropriate for changes in
future estimated costs and/or regulatory requirements.
(j)
Royalties
Lease rights to coal lands are often acquired in exchange for
royalty payments. Advance mining royalties are advance payments
made to lessors under terms of mineral lease agreements that are
recoupable against future production. These advance payments are
deferred and charged to operations as the coal reserves are
mined. The Company regularly reviews recoverability of advance
mining royalties and establishes or adjusts the allowance for
advance mining royalties as necessary using the specific
identification method. In instances where advance payments are
not expected to be offset against future production royalties,
the Company establishes a provision for losses on the advance
payments that have been paid and the scheduled future minimum
payments are expensed and recognized as liabilities. Advance
royalty balances are charged off against the allowance when the
lease rights are either terminated or expire.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue on coal sales when title passes
to the customer in accordance with the terms of the sales
agreement. Revenue from domestic coal sales is recorded at the
time of shipment or delivery to the customer, and the customer
takes ownership and assumes risk of loss based on shipping
terms. Revenue from international coal sales is recorded at the
time coal is loaded onto the shipping vessel, when the customer
takes ownership and assumes risk of loss. In the event that new
contracts are negotiated with a customer and shipments commence
before the old contract is complete, the Company recognizes as
revenue the lower of the cumulative amount billed or an amount
based on the weighted average price of the new and old contracts
applied to the tons sold.
Freight and handling costs paid to third-party carriers and
invoiced to coal customers are recorded as freight and handling
costs and freight and handling revenues, respectively.
Other revenues generally consist of equipment and parts sales,
equipment rebuild and maintenance services, coal handling and
processing, trucking services for unrelated parties, royalties,
commissions on coal trades, and rental income. These revenues
are recognized in the period earned or when the service is
completed.
(l)
Deferred Financing Costs
In connection with obtaining financing, the Company incurred
deferred financing costs totaling $10,525, $5,181, and $340
during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the
period from December 14, 2002 to December 31, 2002,
respectively. These financing costs have been deferred and are
included in other assets in the accompanying combined balance
sheets. Also see note 12. These deferred financing costs
are being amortized to interest expense over the life of the
related indebtedness or credit facility. Amortization expense
for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the
period from December 14, 2002 to December 31, 2002
totaled $4,474, $1,276, and $59, respectively. Due to the
termination of a prior credit facility, amortization expense for
the year ended December 31, 2004 includes a $2,819
write-off of deferred financing costs.
(m)
Virginia Coalfield Employment Enhancement Tax
    Credit
For tax years 1996 through 2007, Virginia companies with an
economic interest in coal earn tax credits based upon tons sold,
seam thickness, and employment levels. The maximum credit earned
equals $0.40 per ton for surface mined coal and $1.00 or
$2.00 per ton for deep mined coal depending on seam
thickness. Credits allowable are reduced from the maximum
amounts if employment levels are not maintained from the
previous year, and no credit is allowed for coal sold to
Virginia utilities. Currently, the cash benefit of the credit is
realized three years after being earned and either offsets taxes
imposed by Virginia at 100% or is refundable by the state at 85%
of the face value to the extent taxes are not owed. The Company
records the present value of the portion of the credit that is
refundable as a reduction of operating costs as it is earned.
The Company records the portion of the credit that is allocated
to Alpha NR Holding, Inc. as an other asset. The Company records
the portion of the credit that is allocated to ANR Fund IX
Holdings, L.P. and minority interest owners as noncash
distributions.

Workers' Compensation and Pneumoconiosis (Black Lung)
    Benefits
Workers' Compensation
The Company is self-insured for workers' compensation
claims at certain of its operations in West Virginia.
Workers' compensation at all other locations in West
Virginia is insured through the West Virginia state insurance
program. Workers' compensation claims at locations in all
other states where the Company operates are covered by a
third-party insurance provider.
The liabilities for workers' compensation claims that are
self-insured are estimates of the ultimate losses incurred based
on the Company's experience, and include a provision for
incurred but not reported losses. Adjustments to the probable
ultimate liabilities are made annually based on an actuarial
study and adjustments to the liability are recorded based on the
results of this study.
Black Lung Benefits
The Company is required by federal and state statutes to provide
benefits to employees for awards related to black lung. These
claims are covered by a third-party insurance provider in all
locations where the Company operates with the exception of West
Virginia. The Company is self-insured for state black lung
related claims at certain locations in West Virginia.
The liabilities for state black lung related claims in West
Virginia that are self-insured are estimates of the ultimate
losses incurred based on the Company's experience, and
include a provision for incurred but not reported losses.
Estimates of the liabilities are made annually based on an
actuarial study and adjustments to the liability are recorded
based on the results of this study.
The Company did not assume any responsibility for workers'
compensation or black lung claims incurred by any of its
subsidiaries prior to their acquisition. Also see note 20.
(o)
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
The Company accounts for health care and life insurance benefits
provided for current and certain retired employees and their
dependents by accruing the cost of such benefits over the
service lives of employees. Unrecognized actuarial gains and
losses are amortized over the estimated average remaining
service period for active employees and over the estimated
average remaining life for retirees.
(p)
Equity Investments
The accompanying combined financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries.
Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries representing
ownership of at least 20% but less than 50% are accounted for
under the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting,
the Company's proportionate share of the investment
company's income is included in the Company's net
income or loss with a corresponding increase or decrease in the
carrying value of the investment.
(q)
Equity-Based Compensation Awards
The Company accounts for equity-based compensation awards
granted to employees in accordance with Accounting Principles
Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees
, and related interpretations.
Compensation cost for equity-based awards is recognized in an
amount equal to the difference between the exercise price of the
award and the fair value of the Company's equity on the
date of grant. In accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, the
Company recognized compensation expense of $91 related to the
period from the grant date on November 10, 2004 (see

As described in note 16(e), the options granted in November
2004 to purchase units of ACM were automatically converted into
options to purchase 596,985 shares of Alpha Natural
Resources, Inc. common stock in connection with the Internal
Restructuring on February 11, 2005. The weighted-average
fair value of options granted in 2004 was $9.04 on an as
converted basis.
The effects on pro forma net income of expensing the estimated
fair value of equity-based awards are not necessarily
representative of the effects on reported net income for future
periods due to such factors as the vesting periods of stock
options and the potential issuance of additional awards in
future years.

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the
FASB) issued SFAS No. 151,
Inventory Costs
,
which amends the guidance in Accounting Research Bulletin
(ARB) No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory
Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of
idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted
material (spoilage). SFAS No. 151 clarifies that
abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling
costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized
as current-period charges instead of inventory costs. The
provisions of this pronouncement will be effective for inventory
costs incurred during fiscal years ending after June 15,
2005. The Company is currently evaluating whether the adoption
of SFAS No. 151 will have any material financial
statement impact.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R),
Share-Based Payment
, which requires companies to expense
the fair value of equity awards over the required service
period. This Statement is a revision of SFAS No. 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
.
SFAS No. 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees
, which uses the
intrinsic value method to value stock-based compensation. The
effective date of SFAS No. 123(R) will be as of the
beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that
begins after June 15, 2005. There are various methods of
adopting
F-40

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS — (Continued)
SFAS No. 123(R), and the Company has not yet
determined what method it will use. The Company will adopt
SFAS No. 123(R) effective July 1, 2005.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153,
Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion
No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions
. This
Statement's amendments are based on the principle that
exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the
fair value of the assets exchanged. Further,
SFAS No. 153 eliminates the narrow exception for
nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces
it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets
that do not have commercial substance. The provisions of this
pronouncement will be effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges
occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005.
The Company does not expect the adoption of
SFAS No. 153 will have any material financial
statement impact.
(s)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the combined financial statements in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items
subject to such estimates and assumptions include the allowance
for doubtful accounts; inventories; mineral reserves; allowance
for non-recoupable advance mining royalties; asset retirement
obligations; employee benefit liabilities; future cash flows
associated with assets; useful lives for depreciation,
depletion, and amortization; workers' compensation and
black lung claims; postretirement benefits other than pensions;
income taxes; and fair value of financial instruments. Due to
the subjective nature of these estimates, actual results could
differ from those estimates.

On May 18, 2004, Alpha and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Alpha Natural Resources Capital Corp., issued $175,000 of
10% senior notes due June 2012 in a private placement
offering under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $171,500
after fees and other offering costs. The senior notes are
unsecured but are guaranteed fully and unconditionally on a
joint and several basis by all of Alpha's wholly-owned
domestic restricted subsidiaries. Interest is payable
semi-annually in June and December. Additional interest on the
senior notes is payable in certain circumstances if a
registration statement with respect to an offer to exchange the
notes for a new issue of equivalent notes registered under the
Securities Act has not been declared effective on or prior to
February 14, 2005 (270 days after the notes were
issued), or if the offer to exchange the notes is not
consummated within 30 business days after February 14,
2005. The amount of this additional interest is equal to 0.25%
of the principal amount of the notes per annum during the first
90-day period after a failure to have the registration statement
declared effective or consummate the exchange offer, and it will
increase by an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to
each subsequent 90-day period until the registration statement
has been declared effective and the exchange offer has been
consummated, up to a maximum amount of additional interest of
1.0% per annum.
On May 28, 2004, Alpha entered into a new revolving credit
facility with a group of lending institutions led by Citicorp
North America, Inc., as administrative agent (Citicorp Credit
Facility). The Citicorp Credit Facility, as amended, provides
for a revolving line of credit of up to $125,000 and a funded
letter of credit facility of up to $50,000. As of
December 31, 2004, the Company had $8,000 principal amount
in borrowings outstanding under the revolving line of credit and
$2,991 in letters of credit outstanding, leaving $114,009
available for borrowing. As of December 31, 2004, the
funded letter of credit facility was fully utilized at $50,000
at an annual fee of 3.1% of the outstanding amount. Amounts
drawn under the revolver bear interest at a variable rate based
upon either the prime rate or a London Interbank Offered Rate
(LIBOR), in each case plus a spread that is dependent on our
leverage ratio. The interest rate applicable to our borrowings
under the revolver was 7.0% as of December 31, 2004. The
principal balance of the revolving credit note is due in May
2009. ANR Holdings and each of the subsidiaries of Alpha have
guaranteed Alpha's obligations under the revolving credit
facility. The obligations of Alpha, ANR Holdings and
Alpha's subsidiaries under the Citicorp Credit Facility are
collateralized by all of the assets of Alpha, ANR Holdings and
Alpha's subsidiaries. The Citicorp Credit Facility contains

Deferred Gains on Sales of Property Interests
In February 2003, the Company sold an overriding royalty
interest in certain mining properties for $11,850. The gain on
this transaction in the amount of $850 was deferred and is being
amortized over the associated remaining term of the mineral
lease. This property interest was acquired from El Paso CGP
Company in the acquisition of the Coastal Coal properties.
In April 2003, the Company sold mineral properties for $53,625
in a sale/leaseback transaction. These properties had originally
been acquired from Pittston Coal Company. The estimated gain on
this transaction in the amount of $7,057 was deferred and is
being amortized over the ten-year term of the lease. Also see
note 20.
The Company recognized $959 and $618 of the above deferred gains
for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. In addition, for the year ended December 31,
2004, the deferred gain was increased by $3,514 for revisions in
estimated cash flows underlying the asset retirement obligation
relating to the mineral properties which had been sold,
increased by $1,480 for revisions in the estimated contract
reclamation liability assumed in conjunction with the
acquisition of the Virginia coal operations of Pittston Coal
Company, and decreased by $5,000 relating to the accrual of
additional consideration for the acquisition of the Virginia
coal operations of Pittston Coal Company.

The carrying amounts approximate
fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
Notes Receivable:
The fair value approximates the
carrying value as the rates associated with the receivables are
comparable to current market rates.
Long-term Debt:
The fair value of the 10% Senior
notes is based on the trading price of the notes. The fair value
of debt with variable interest rates is equal to the principal
amount of the notes since the interest rates are reset
periodically. The fair value of other long-term debt is based on
the current market rate of interest offered to the Company for
debt of similar maturities. The estimated fair values of

Employee Benefit Plans
The Company
(a) Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
Three of the Company's subsidiaries assumed collective
bargaining agreements as part of two acquisitions that require
these subsidiaries to provide postretirement medical benefits to
certain employees who retire after the acquisition closing
dates. In each case, however, The Brink's Company and AMCI,
as sellers, have retained the obligation to provide
postretirement medical benefits to employees who retired prior
to the acquisition closing dates (December 13, 2002 and
March 11, 2003, respectively) and to employees who were not
retained by these subsidiaries. In addition, The Brink's
Company retained the obligation to provide postretirement
medical benefits to a significant number of the employees who
have worked for the Company after the acquisition closing,
namely, those employees who met the eligibility criteria by
December 31, 2003, even if the employees will not retire
until sometime in the future. These plans are unfunded and the
measurement date is December 31 of each year.
Effective July 1, 2004, the Company adopted a plan offering
postretirement medical benefits to active union-free employees
that will provide a credit of $20 per month per year of
service for pre-65 year old and $9 per month per year
of service for post-65 year old retirees toward the
purchase of medical benefits (as defined) from the Company. The
adoption of this new plan resulted in prior service cost of
$27,122 which will be amortized over the remaining service of
the union-free employees.

On December 8, 2003, the President of the United States
signed into law the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and
Modernization Act of 2003 ("the Act"). The Act
introduces a prescription drug benefit under Medicare
("Medicare Part D") as well as a federal subsidy
to sponsors of retiree heath care benefit plans that provide a
benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare
Part D.
At December 31, 2003, in accordance with FASB Staff
Position No. FAS 106-1,
Accounting and Disclosure
Requirements related to the Medicare Prescription Drug,
Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003
("FSP
106-1"), the Company elected to defer recognition of the
effects of the Act in any measures of the benefit obligation or
cost.
In May 2004, the FASB issued further guidance with the release
of FASB Staff Position No. FAS 106-2,
Accounting
and Disclosure Requirements related to the Medicare Prescription
Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003
("FSP
106-2"). The Company has reflected the estimated impact of
the Act as a $629 reduction in the present value of the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of
January 1, 2004 and a $113 reduction in the net periodic
service cost for the year ended December 31, 2004.
(b) Savings Plan
The Company sponsors a 401(k) Savings-Investment Plan to assist
its eligible employees in providing for retirement. The Company
contributes 3% of compensation, as defined, for every employee
who is eligible to participate in the plan. Participants also
receive a 50% matching contribution from the Company of up to 4%
of their total compensation, as defined. The effective date of
the plan was February 1, 2003. Total Company contributions
for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, were
$5,086, and $3,505, respectively.

(c) Self-Insured Medical Plan
The Company is self-insured for health insurance coverage
provided for all of its employees. During the years ended
December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the period from
December 14, 2002 to December 31, 2002, total claims
expense of $18,094, $12,313, and $355, respectively, was
incurred, which represents claims processed and an estimate for
claims incurred but not reported.
(d) Multi-Employer Pension Plan
Three of the Company's subsidiaries assumed collective
bargaining agreements as part of two acquisitions that require
them to participate in the United Mine Workers of America
(UMWA) 1950 and 1974 pension plans. These plans are
multi-employer pension plans whereby the expense is based upon
defined contribution rates. There was no expense under these
plans for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, or
for the period from December 14, 2002 to December 31,
2002 as no contributions were required.
Two of the three subsidiaries referenced above are required to
make contributions to the 1993 UMWA Benefit Plan of fifty cents
per signatory hour worked. The contributions that the Company
made to this plan for the years ended December 31, 2004 and
2003 were $31 and $29, respectively.
(e) Equity-Based Compensation Awards
In November 2004, ACM adopted the Alpha Coal Management LLC 2004
Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Alpha Coal Management
Long-Term Incentive Plan") to provide equity-based
incentive compensation to those key employees and others who
make significant contributions to the strategic and long-term
performance objectives and growth of the Company. On
November 10, 2004, ACM granted options to
purchase 800,000 units of ACM to 22 members of the
Company's management team under the Alpha Coal Management
Long-Term Incentive Plan. These options vest over a period of
five years (with accelerated vesting upon a change of control)
and have a term of ten years. In connection with this grant of
options, ACM entered into a letter agreement with ANR Holdings
pursuant to which ANR Holdings agreed to issue to ACM additional
membership interests representing sharing ratios in the
aggregate amount equal to 1% of the outstanding membership
interests upon exercise of awards granted by ACM under the Alpha
Coal Management Long-Term Incentive Plan. In connection with the
Internal Restructuring on February 11, 2005, this plan was
amended and restated, the outstanding options to purchase units
of ACM were automatically converted into options to purchase
shares of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. common stock and Alpha
Natural Resources, Inc. assumed the obligations of ACM pursuant
to this plan. After the Internal Restructuring, there are
outstanding under the plan options to purchase an aggregate of
596,985 shares of common stock (the maximum number of
shares currently available for awards under the plan) at an
exercise price of $12.73 per share. No additional options
or awards will be granted under the plan.
In connection with the Internal Restructuring, Alpha Natural
Resources, Inc. adopted, and its stockholders approved, the
Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (the
"Long-Term Incentive Plan"). The principal purpose of
the Long-Term Incentive Plan is to attract, motivate, reward and
retain selected employees, consultants and directors through the
granting of stock-based compensation awards. The Long-Term
Incentive Plan provides for a variety of awards, including
non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options (within the
meaning of Section 422 of the Code), stock appreciation
rights, restricted stock awards, dividend equivalents,
performance-based awards and other stock-based awards.
The total number of shares of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc.
common stock initially available for issuance or delivery under
the Long-Term Incentive Plan is 3,338,841 shares, and the
maximum number

of shares that may be subject to awards made to any one plan
participant in any fiscal year will be 2,000,000 shares.
Subsequent to December 31, 2004, Alpha Natural Resources,
Inc. granted certain of its executive officers, directors and
key employees options to purchase an aggregate of
692,905 shares of Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. common
stock at the initial public offering price at the time of the
initial public offering. The number of shares of Alpha Natural
Resources, Inc. common stock issued or reserved pursuant to the
Long-Term Incentive Plan is subject, at the discretion of the
board of directors (or the committee if so empowered), to
adjustment as a result of stock splits, stock dividends and
similar changes in Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. common stock.
Predecessor
The Company did not assume the Predecessor's obligations
under the following employee benefit plans:
(a) Pension Plans
The Combined Virginia Entity's union-free employees who met
certain eligibility requirements participated in The
Brink's Company's noncontributory defined benefit
pension plans (the Brink's Plans). Benefits under the
Brink's Plans were based on salary (including commissions,
bonuses, overtime, and premium pay) and years of service.
For the purpose of preparing the Predecessor's combined
financial statements, the Combined Virginia Entity's
projected benefit obligation at December 13, 2002 relating
to its participation in the Brink's Plans was actuarially
estimated based on data, such as years of service, salary, and
age, for employees of companies included in the Combined
Virginia Entity.
The fair value of plan assets and unrecognized experience loss
and prior service cost were allocated to the Combined Virginia
Entity as of December 13, 2002 based on the Combined
Virginia Entity's pro rata share of The Brink's
Company's projected benefit obligation. The Brink's
Company's policy was to fund at least the minimum
actuarially determined amounts necessary in accordance with
applicable regulations.
The net pension credit for the period from January 1, 2002

defined contribution rates. There was no expense under these
plans in 2002 as no contribution was required. A multi-employer
pension plan withdrawal liability related to these plans of
$28,424 was accrued as of December 13, 2002 by the Virginia
Combined Entity associated with The Brink's Company's
planned exit from the coal business. The estimate was based on
the most recent actuarial estimate of liability for a withdrawal
occurring in the plan year ending June 30, 2002. The
withdrawal liability and any subsequent changes in the liability
are the responsibility of The Brink's Company.

(b) Savings Plan
The Brink's Company sponsored a 401(k) Savings-Investment
Plan to assist its eligible U.S. employees in providing for
retirement. Employee contributions were matched at rates of
between 50% to 100% up to 5% of compensation (subject to certain
limitations). Contribution expense for the Combined Virginia
Entity under the plan aggregated $493 for the period from
January 1, 2002 to December 13, 2002.
(c) Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
The Brink's Company provided certain postretirement health
care and life insurance benefits for eligible active and retired
employees in the U.S., including those employed by the Combined
Virginia Entity (The Brink's Company sponsored plans). The
Brink's Company also provided benefits to certain eligible
employees of the Combined Virginia Entity as required by the
Health Benefit Act, discussed below.
The Brink's Company Sponsored Plans.
For the purpose
of preparing the combined financial statements of the Combined
Virginia Entity, the unrecognized experience loss was allocated

Health Benefit Act.
In October 1992, the Coal Industry
Retiree Health Benefit Act (the Health Benefit Act) was enacted
as part of the Energy Policy Act of 1992. The Health Benefit Act
established rules for the payment of future health care benefits
for thousands of retired union mine workers and their
dependents. The Health Benefit Act established a trust fund to
which "signatory operators" and "related
persons", including The Brink's Company and certain of
its subsidiaries, including some of the subsidiaries included in
the Combined Virginia Entity, are jointly and severally liable
to pay annual premiums for assigned beneficiaries, together with
a pro rata share for certain beneficiaries who never worked for
such employers (unassigned beneficiaries) in amounts determined
on the basis set forth in the Health Benefit Act. In October
1993 and at various times in subsequent years, The Brink's
Company received notices from the Social Security Administration
(the SSA) with regard to the assigned beneficiaries for which
The Brink's Company was responsible under the Health
Benefit Act. In addition, the Health Benefit Act requires The
Brink's Company to fund, pro rata according to the total
number of assigned beneficiaries, a portion of the health
benefits for unassigned beneficiaries. At this time, the funding
for such health benefits is being provided from another source;
however, the statutory authorization to obtain such funds is
currently expected to cease by 2005. In the determination of The
Brink's Company's ultimate obligation under the Health
Benefit Act, such funding has been taken into consideration.
The Combined Virginia Entity accounted for their obligations
under the Health Benefit Act as participants in a multi-employer
benefit plan, as provided by Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) No. 92-13,
Accounting for Estimated Payments
in Connection with the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act
of 1992
, and thus, recognized the annual cost of these
obligations on a pay-as-you-go basis. For the period from
January 1, 2002 to December 13, 2002, the Combined
Virginia Entity's pro rata allocated portion of the annual
premiums were $1,302. The Company has no liability under this
act.
Black Lung.
The Combined Virginia Entity was self-insured
with respect to substantially all black lung
(pneumoconiosis) benefits. Provision was made for estimated
benefits based on annual reports prepared by independent
actuaries. Unamortized losses were amortized over the average
remaining life expectancy of participants (approximately
10 years). Assumptions used in the calculation of the
actuarial present value of black lung benefits were based on
actual retirement experience of the Combined Virginia
Entity's employees, black lung claims incidence, actual
dependent information, industry turnover rates, actual medical
and legal cost experience, and projected inflation rates. The
amount of expense incurred by the Combined Virginia Entity for
black lung benefits was $3,428 for the period from
January 1, 2002 to December 13, 2002.

Workers' Compensation Benefits
The Company's operations generally are fully insured for
workers' compensation and black lung claims. Insurance
premium expense for the years ended December 31, 2004 and
2003 was $16,192 and $15,984, respectively. A portion of the
West Virginia operations of the Company are self-insured for
workers' compensation and state black lung claims. The
liability for these claims is an estimate of the ultimate losses
to be incurred on such claims based on the Company's
experience and published industry data. Adjustments to the
probable ultimate liability are made annually based on an
actuarial valuation and are included in operations as they are
determined. The obligations incurred prior to January 31,
2003 are currently secured by surety bonds of El Paso
Corporation, an unrelated entity. Also see note 23.
The liability for self-insured workers compensation benefits at
December 31, 2004 and 2003 was $6,290 and $2,110,
respectively, including a current portion of $1,612 and $450,
respectively. Workers' compensation expense for the years
ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 was $7,697 and $4,464,
respectively, including fees paid to the State of West Virginia
to be self-insured. The Company is required to post bonds in the
amount of $2,288 with the state of West Virginia to secure
estimated self-insured liabilities for the period from
February 1, 2003 through June 30, 2004. The state of
West Virginia allows the self-insured companies to post these
bonds in installments to be fully secured by June 30, 2006.
The Company posted a bond of $727 as the first installment for
the year ended December 31, 2004.

Related Party Transactions
Company
As of December 31, 2002, the Company had notes payable in
the amount of $23,953 payable to a related party. These notes
along with other notes in the amount of $20,047 were converted
to contributed capital of the Company in 2003. The Company
incurred interest expense on the related party notes of $2,625
and $144 during the year ended December 31, 2003 and the
period from December 14, 2002 to December 31, 2002,
respectively.
In conjunction with the purchase of U.S. AMCI from the AMCI
Parties, the Company paid $35,000 for the working capital of
U.S. AMCI, as defined in the contribution agreement,
subject to an audit. As of December 31, 2003, the net
working capital acquired was estimated to be $31,569 and the
difference of $3,431 was recorded as a receivable. In September
2004, ANR Holdings, First Reserve and the AMCI Parties
agreed that the net working capital actually acquired was
$34,070, and the AMCI Parties paid the difference of $930 to the
Company. The parties further agreed that the AMCI Parties would
be entitled to any refund of, and obligated to make any payment
of, all federal black lung excise taxes of the companies
contributed by the AMCI Parties to ANR Holdings, but only
insofar as the taxes related to pre-closing or straddle periods
ending on or prior to the closing date of the U.S. AMCI
acquisition. As a result, $981 of the previously recorded
receivable from AMCI was reclassified to offset a federal black
lung excise tax accrued liability included in the net working
capital acquired. The remaining $1,520 was recorded as an
increase to goodwill.
The Company records rent on its Latrobe, Pennsylvania operating
facility from a related party. Total rent expense was $144 and
$114 as of and for the years ended December 31, 2004 and
2003, respectively. The amount of accrued rent payable to the
related party at December 31, 2004 and 2003 was $258 and
$114, respectively.
In conjunction with the acquisition of U.S. AMCI, ANR
Holdings entered into an agreement with entities affiliated with
AMCI that requires the AMCI parties to pay reclamation and other
obligations of one of the former U.S. AMCI entities
acquired by the Company (Solomons Mining Company). In April
2004, the Company entered into an arrangement with the former
owners of U.S. AMCI (the "AMCI Parties") to
purchase 350 tons of coal from a third-party at a price of
$54.50 per ton at various

times from April 2004 through November 2005. An amount of $34.50
will be paid to the producer of that coal, $12.00 per ton
is payable to the AMCI Parties and $8.00 per ton is
retained by the Company to fund the remaining reclamation
obligation of Solomons Mining Company. As of December 31,
2004, the Company has retained an aggregate of $1,778 under this
arrangement. After the Company has retained $2,300, the
$8.00 per ton will thereafter be paid to the U.S. AMCI
parties.
In connection with our acquisition of Coastal Coal Company, we
acquired an overriding royalty interest in certain properties
located in Virginia and West Virginia owned by El Paso CPG
Company for $11,000 in cash. Effective February 1, 2003,
the Company sold the overriding royalty interest to affiliates
of Natural Resource Partners, L.P. (NRP) for $11,850 in
cash. Effective April 1, 2003, the Company also sold
substantially all of its fee-owned Virginia mineral properties
to NRP for $53,625 in cash in a sale/leaseback transaction.
Based on the aggregate of $20,219 and $16,028 that the Company
paid to NRP in lease, royalty and property tax reimbursement
payments for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003,
respectively, NRP is our largest landlord. As of
December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company had $1,430 and
$1,290, respectively, in accounts payable to NRP. In an
unrelated transaction in December 2003, a member of the ANR
Holdings and Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. board of directors
was appointed as a member of the board of directors of
GP Natural Resource Partners, LLC, the general partner of
NRP, and First Reserve became a substantial equity owner of NRP.
The Company believes the production and minimum royalty rates
contained in leases with NRP are consistent with current market
royalty rates.
One of Alpha Natural Resources, LLC's Executive Vice
Presidents is a 50% owner of Robindale Energy Services, Inc.

One of the Company's subsidiaries purchased $4,799 of coal
in the ordinary course of our business from subsidiaries of
Foundation Coal Holdings, Inc. ("Foundation"). The
balance payable as of December 31, 2004 was $822. Three of

Predecessor
The Combined Virginia Entity had receivables and payables and
was a party to certain transactions with affiliated companies in
the normal course of business.
Pittston Coal Management Company (PCMC) provided executive,
legal, engineering, geological, accounting, and other
administrative services to affiliated companies owned directly
or indirectly by Pittston Coal Company, including companies
included in the Combined Virginia Entity.
PCMC allocated its costs to the various entities based primarily
on production, head count, and asset base. Intercompany balances
among companies included in the Combined Virginia Entity have
been eliminated, and net amounts due from other affiliated
companies are classified in the balance sheet as a component of
shareholders' equity.
Pittston Coal Sales Corporation (PCSC) provided services to
affiliated companies owned by Pittston Coal Company, including
companies included in the Combined Virginia Entity. PCSC
negotiated and entered into coal sales contracts with customers
using its sales staff. A portion of the cost of PCSC's
sales department was allocated to the affiliated companies based
on relative coal sales volume. Coal was shipped from affiliated
coal production companies, including companies included in the
Combined Virginia Entity, to customers and PCSC invoiced the
customers and recorded a payable to the affiliated company for
the amount of the customer invoice. PCSC collected the cash on
behalf of the affiliate. Intercompany balances between PCSC and
companies included in the Combined Virginia Entity have been
eliminated and receivables and payables to other affiliated
companies were classified as a component of shareholders'
equity.
Cash generated or used by our Predecessor was ultimately
received or provided by The Brink's Company. During the
period from January 1, 2002 to December 13, 2002,
Pittston Coal Company contributed $329,964, respectively, of
intercompany amounts owned by its subsidiaries included in the
Combined Virginia Entity to shareholders' equity.
Our Predecessor was included in the consolidated
U.S. federal income tax return filed by The Brink's
Company. The Brink's Company's consolidated provision
and actual cash payments for U.S. federal income taxes were
allocated between the Predecessor and other affiliates of The
Brink's Company in accordance with The Brink's
Company's tax allocation policy. In general, the
consolidated current tax provision of The Brink's
Company's was allocated among the affiliates based
principally upon the financial income, taxable income, credits,
and other amounts directly related to the respective affiliate.
The Brink's Company gave credit to its subsidiaries for the
tax effect of U.S. federal income tax losses and other
attributes to the extent the attributes were utilized on a
consolidated basis. As a result, the allocated affiliate amounts
of taxes payable or refundable are not necessarily comparable to
those that would have resulted if the affiliate had filed
separate tax returns. Net deferred income tax assets of the
Predecessor are reflected as deferred income tax receivable from
parent and are classified as a component of shareholders'
equity.

Concentrations and Major Customers
The Company markets its coal principally to electric utilities
in the United States and international and domestic steel
producers. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, trade accounts
receivable from electric utilities totaled approximately $30,900
and $32,700, respectively. Credit is extended based on an
evaluation of the customer's financial condition and
collateral is generally not required. Credit losses are provided
for in the combined financial statements and historically have
been minimal. The Company is committed under long-term contracts
to supply coal that meets certain quality requirements at
specified prices. The prices for some multi-year contracts are
adjusted based on economic indices or the contract may include
year-to-year specified price changes. Quantities sold under some
contracts may vary from year to year within certain limits at
the option of the customer. Sales to the Company's largest
customer in 2004 and 2003 accounted for less than 10% of total
sales for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.

Contingencies
(a)
Guarantees and Financial Instruments with Off-balance
    Sheet Risk
In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to
certain guarantees and financial instruments with off-balance
sheet risk, such as bank letters of credit and performance or
surety bonds. No liabilities related to these arrangements are
reflected in the Company's combined balance sheets.
Management does not expect any material losses to result from
these guarantees or off-balance sheet financial instruments. The
amount of bank letters of credit outstanding as of
December 31, 2004 is $52,991. The amount of surety bonds
currently outstanding related to the Company's reclamation
obligations is presented in note 13 to the combined
financial statements. The Company has provided guarantees for
equipment financing obtained by certain of its contract mining
operators totaling approximately $2,700. The estimated fair
value of these guarantees is not significant.
Alpha from time to time guarantees the performance of a
subsidiary on short-term sales and purchase contracts. The
subsidiaries of the Company also guarantee performance on the
Company's outstanding reclamation bonds, as well as the
Company's obligations under the Citicorp credit facility
and 10% senior notes.
(b)
Litigation
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings from time
to time in the normal course of business. In management's
opinion, the Company is not currently involved in any legal
proceeding which individually or in the aggregate could have a
material effect on the financial condition, results of
operations and/or cash flows of the Company.

Other Contingencies
In connection with the Company's acquisition of Coastal
Coal Company, the seller, El Paso CGP Company, has
agreed to retain and indemnify the Company for all workers'
compensation and black lung claims incurred prior to the
acquisition date of January 31, 2003. The majority of this
liability relates to claims in the state of West Virginia. If
El Paso CGP Company fails to honor its agreement with
the Company, then the Company would be liable for the payment of
those claims, which were estimated in April 2004 by the West
Virginia Workers' Compensation Commission to be
approximately $5,369 on an undiscounted basis using claims data
through June 30, 2003. El Paso has posted a bond with
the state of West Virginia for the required discounted amount of
$3,722 for claims incurred prior to the acquisition.
(24)
Asset Impairment Charge
One of the Company's subsidiaries wholly owns National King
Coal, LLC (a mining company) and Gallup Transportation (a
trucking company) (collectively "NKC"). Since its
acquisition by the Company through August 2004, NKC has incurred
cumulative losses of $2,800. While NKC has not experienced sales
revenue growth comparable to our other operations of the
Company, it has been affected by many of the same cost
increases. As a result, we were required to assess the recovery
of the carrying value of the NKC assets. Based on that analysis,
it was determined that the assets of NKC were impaired. An
impairment charge of $5,100 was recorded in September 2004 to
reduce the carrying value of the assets of NKC to their
estimated fair value. A discounted cash flow model was used to
determine fair value.
(25)
Supplemental Cash Flow Disclosures
Company
Cash paid for interest (net of amounts capitalized) for the
years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 was $14,293 and
$6,879, respectively. Income taxes paid by the Company for the
year ended December 31, 2004 were $4,047.
Non-cash investing and financing activities are excluded from
the combined statements of cash flows.
Significant non-cash activity for the year ended
December 31, 2004 includes:
•
Increase in other assets of $2,372 for the Virginia Coalfield
    Employment Enhancement Tax Credit receivable. This represents
    the portion of the tax credit allocated to Alpha NR Holding, Inc.
•
Increase in deferred common stock offering costs and accrued
    expenses of $2,010 for accrued stock offering costs.

Minority Interest
On March 11, 2003, concurrent with the acquisition of
U.S. AMCI, ANR Holdings issued additional membership
interests in the aggregate amount of 45.3% to the former owners
of U.S. AMCI, Madison Capital Funding, LLC and ACM, which
is owned by certain members of management, in exchange for the
net assets of U.S. AMCI and cash. All members of ANR
Holdings, other than ACM, hold both common and preferred sharing
ratios representing membership interests. Pursuant to the
provisions of the ANR Holdings limited liability company
agreement, the income of ANR Holdings is allocated among its
members as follows:
•
First, to the holders of preferred sharing ratios on a pro rata
    basis to the extent of any losses that had been allocated to
    them in prior periods,
•
Second, to the holders of preferred sharing ratios on a pro rata
    basis up to the cumulative unallocated preferred yield (based on
    an annual preferred yield of 12%), and
•
Third, to the holders of common sharing ratios on a pro rata
    basis.
For purposes of allocating income in the year in which a new
member is admitted, ANR Holdings applies a proration method,
which allocates income based on the weighted-average ownership
of its membership interests for the year.
Prior to the Internal Restructuring on February 11, 2005,
the principal executive officers of Alpha and other key
employees held the entire membership interest of ACM, which in
turn owned a common membership interest in ANR Holdings. The
interest of ACM in ANR Holdings entitled ACM to receive
approximately 0.32% of the distributions made to the holders of
common membership interests in ANR
F-68

Holdings (which we refer to as the management members'
"purchased interest"). In addition, ACM was entitled
to receive, subject to certain conditions, an additional
distribution of up to 5% of any profits (which we refer to as
the management members' "profits interest") upon
the occurrence of a liquidity event, as defined in the governing
documents of ANR Holdings. Generally, a liquidity event would
occur when ANR Holdings was sold or when it made a public sale
of equity. The provisions of ACM's limited liability
company agreement also contained put and call rights for the
benefit of the executive and Alpha, respectively, with respect
to the purchased interests and profits interests if the
employment relationship of the executive was terminated. In
general, depending on when the employment relationship was
terminated, the put and call prices were equal to (1) the
sum of the greater of (a) the member's original
investment minus returns on that investment or (b) the fair
market value, as defined, of the member's purchased
interest on the date the put was exercised, plus (2) a
percentage of the fair market value, as defined, of the profits
interest on the date the put was exercised, with the percentage
increasing from 50% to 100% as the length of the employment
period increased from two to four years from the date ACM was
formed. For purposes of the put and call, the agreement required
Alpha to use the same method of valuation that First Reserve
Corporation uses for purposes of reporting to its limited
partners, reduced by a 25% minority discount.

Investments
Dominion Terminal Associates
As part of the Company's acquisition of the Combined
Virginia Entity, the Company acquired a 32.5% interest in
Dominion Terminal Associates (DTA). DTA is a partnership with
three other companies that operates a leased coal port terminal
in Newport News, Virginia (the Terminal). The Company accounts
for this investment under the equity method for investments. See
note 2(p). The Company did not ascribe any value to this
partnership interest when it was acquired.
The Company has the right to use 32.5% of the throughput and
ground storage capacity of the Terminal and pay for this right
based upon an allocation of costs as determined by DTA. The
Brink's Company guaranteed bonds of the partnership in the
face amount of $43,160 from the financing related to the
construction of the Terminal. The Brink's Company also paid
its proportionate share of interest on these bonds. The Company
did not assume any obligations associated with these bonds.
For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the
period from December 14, 2002 to December 31, 2002,
the Company made advances to DTA equal to its share of allocated
costs of $3,266, $3,348, and $253, respectively, offset by
outside revenues of $1,763, $1,321 and $57, respectively. The
Company records its share of losses in DTA equal to the amount
of advances. The Company does not guarantee the obligations of
DTA and is not otherwise committed to provide further financial
support. Accordingly, the Company does not reduce its investment
below zero.
A net loss of $6,082 for the period from January 1, 2002 to
December 13, 2002 was recorded by the Predecessor relating
to this investment.
Excelven Pty Ltd
In September 2004, Alpha, together with its affiliate American
Metals and Coal International, Inc. ("AMCI"), entered
into a subscription deed with Excelven Pty Ltd, pursuant to
which each party agreed to acquire a 24.5% interest in Excelven
for a purchase price of $6.5 million in cash. Excelven,
through its subsidiaries, owns the rights to the Las Carmelitas
mining venture in Venezuela and the related Palmarejo export
port facility on Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela. Alpha made
payments totaling $4,500 for the year ended December 31,
2004. The investment is accounted for under the equity method,
and is included in other assets at December 31, 2004.

Income Taxes
The Company
As outlined in the organizational structure in note 1, the
minority interest owners and ANR Fund IX Holdings, L.P. own
interests in ANR Holdings, a limited liability company and
pass-through entity for income tax purposes. As a pass-through
entity, ANR Holdings provides information returns reflecting the
allocated income (loss) to the minority interest owners and ANR
Fund IX Holdings, L.P. based upon their respective
ownership percentage and certain special allocations as provided
by the limited liability company agreement and the Internal
Revenue Code. The income tax consequences of the income (loss)
allocated to these owners is not reflected in the combined
financial statements.
The combined financial statements include only the current and
deferred income tax associated with Alpha NR Holding, Inc., a
taxable entity. The primary source of the income tax impact is
derived from the allocated income (loss) from ANR Holdings,
Alpha Natural Resources, LLC and its operating subsidiaries, all
of which are pass-through entities for tax purposes.
The federal and state income tax provisions from continuing
operations in 2004 and 2003 were offset by federal and state
income tax benefits included in the loss from discontinued
operations. The total income tax benefit for 2002 related to
continuing operations.

As of December 31, 2004, the Company has a net operating
loss carryforward (NOL) for federal income tax purposes of
$14,875, which is available to offset future federal taxable
income, if any, through 2024. Also, the Company has a
contribution carryforward of $591 which can be carried forward
for a maximum of five years from the year generated. In
addition, the Company has an alternative minimum tax
(AMT) credit carryforward of $1,249 which can be carried
forward indefinitely to offset future regular tax in excess of
AMT. Due to the likelihood that the AMT will exceed the regular
tax in the future, the Company has provided a valuation
allowance for the portion of deferred tax assets not expected to
be realized. The remaining net deferred tax liability, net of
the valuation allowance, reflects the AMT expected to be paid on
the net taxable temporary differences.

Federal Black Lung Excise Tax
Predecessor
On February 10, 1999, the U.S. District Court of the
Eastern District of Virginia entered a final judgment in favor
of certain of The Brink's Company's subsidiaries,
including certain of the companies included in the Combined
Virginia Entity, ruling that the Federal Black Lung Excise Tax
(FBLET) is unconstitutional as applied to export coal
sales. The Brink's Company sought refunds of the FBLET it
paid on export coal sales for all open statutory periods and
received refunds of $2,758 (including interest), of which $2,049
related to the Combined Virginia Entity, during the period from
January 1, 2002 to December 13, 2002.

Discontinued Operations and Subsequent Event
On April 14, 2005, the Company sold the assets of its
Colorado mining subsidiary, National King Coal LLC, and related
trucking subsidiary, Gallup Transportation and Transloading
Company, LLC (collectively, "NKC"), to an unrelated
third party for cash in the amount of $4,400, plus an amount in
cash equal to the fair market value of NKC's coal
inventory, and the assumption by the buyer of certain
liabilities of NKC. The Company recorded a gain on the sale of
NKC of $704 in the second quarter of 2005. The results of
operations of NKC for the current and prior periods have been
reported in discontinued operations. National King Coal LLC was
previously reported in the Coal Operations segment and Gallup
Transportation and Transloading Company, LLC was previously

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
January 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002
(1)
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices
(a)
Description of Business
Coastal Coal Company, LLC and its majority owned subsidiary,
Coastal Coal — West Virginia, LLC, (collectively, the
Company) were owned by El Paso CGP Company and American
Natural Resources Company, wholly owned subsidiaries of
El Paso Corporation (El Paso) through January 31,
2003 (see note 13). The Company is organized as a limited
liability company under the laws of the state of Delaware. The
Company is engaged in the business of extracting coal from
reserves located in Virginia, West Virginia, and Kentucky, and
leasing land and associated mineral reserves to coal mining
companies. Coal extracted by the Company is primarily sold to
utility companies located in the East and Southeast regions of
the United States of America.
(b)
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the following
companies.
Companies with coal reserves and production facilities:
•
Brooks Run Mining Company
•
Enterprise Mining Company
•
Virginia Iron, Coal and Coke (VICC) Mining Company
•
Kingwood Mining Company
•
Greenbrier Mining Company (Inactive)
Companies providing administrative services:
•
Coastal Coal Administration
•
Coastal Coal Sales Company
Holding companies:
•
Coastal Coal Company, LLC
•
Coastal Coal-West Virginia, LLC
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
(c)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, cash in
banks, and investments in money market accounts and are stated
at cost, which approximates fair market value. The Company
considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
(d)
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful
    Accounts
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount
and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is
the Company's best estimate of the amount of probable
credit losses in the Company's existing accounts
receivable. The allowance for doubtful accounts consists of an
amount for specifically identified uncollectable accounts and a
general allowance based on historical losses for all accounts.
The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure
related to its customers.

(Continued)
(e)
Inventories
Coal inventory is stated at the lower of cost, with cost
determined using the average monthly production costs, or net
realizable value. Purchased coal is stated at purchase price.
Coal inventory at December 31, 2002 was comprised of raw,
processed, and purchased coal.
Supplies inventory is stated at the lower of average cost or net
market value.
(f)
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures
for maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the
lives of the related assets, are charged to expense as incurred
while major renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon
retirement or sale of an asset, its cost and related accumulated
depreciation or amortization are removed from the property
accounts. Depreciation of plant and equipment for financial
reporting purposes is provided using the straight-line method
over the assets' estimated useful lives.
Costs incurred as part of the acquisition of mineral interests
and mine development costs incurred to expand capacity of
operating mines or to develop new mines are capitalized and
charged to operations on the units-of-production method. Mine
development costs include costs incurred for site preparation
and development at the mines during the development stage.
(g)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
, provides a single accounting
model for long-lived assets to be disposed of.
SFAS No. 144 also changes the criteria for classifying
an asset as held for sale; and broadens the scope of businesses
to be disposed of that quality for reporting as discontinued
operations and changes the timing of recognizing losses on such
operations. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 on
January 1, 2002.
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, long-lived assets,
such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased
intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated
undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the
asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated
future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the
amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the
fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be
separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the
lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell,
and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a
disposal group classified as held for sale would be presented
separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of
the balance sheet.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 144, the Company
accounted for long-lived assets in accordance with
SFAS No. 121,
Accounting for Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
Of
.
(h)
Reclamation
The Company has future obligations to reclaim properties
disturbed in conjunction with coal operations under federal and
state laws. Reclamation of disturbed acreage is performed as a
normal part of the mining process. The Company adopted
SFAS No. 143,
Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations
, on January 1, 2003. The Company's
liability for reclamation at January 31, 2003 represents
the fair value of its asset retirement obligation as of this
date. The asset retirement obligation will be adjusted in the
F-80

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —
(Continued)
future to reflect the passage of time and changes, if any, in
the estimated future cash flows underlying the initial fair
value measurement. Upon adoption, impacted financial statement
line items were property, plant, and equipment, net; other
current liabilities; other noncurrent liabilities; and the net
cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle.
Property, plant, and equipment, net increased by $2,125,877;
other current liabilities decreased by $2,524,368; other
noncurrent liabilities decreased by $2,111,836; and the
cumulative effect of the accounting change of $6,762,081 was
reflected in the consolidated statement of income for the period
from January 1, 2003 to January 31, 2003.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 143, expenditures
relating to environmental regulatory requirements and
reclamation costs undertaken during mine operations were charged
against earnings as incurred. Estimated site restoration and
post closure reclamation costs were charged against earnings
using the unit-of-production method over the expected economic
life of each mine. Accrued reclamation costs were subject to
review by management on a regular basis and were revised when
appropriate for changes in future estimated costs and/or
regulatory requirements.
(i)
Advance Mining Royalties
Leases, which require minimum annual or advance payments and are
recoverable from future production, are generally deferred and
charged to expense as the coal is subsequently produced. At
December 31, 2002, advance mining royalties totaled
approximately $7.8 million, of which approximately
$1.7 million is included in prepaid expenses and other
current assets. The Company periodically assesses the
recoverability of such prepaid minimum royalties based on
current operating plans, expiration dates of such prepaid
royalties, and the economic environment in the coal industry,
and records a charge to earnings when it is deemed more likely
than not that such amounts will not be recovered.
(j)
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
Postretirement benefits other than pensions are accounted for in
accordance with SFAS No. 106,
Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
.
SFAS No. 106 requires employers to accrue the cost of
postretirement benefits during the employees' service and
over the average remaining life expectancy of inactive
participants.
(k)
Black Lung Benefits
Coal mining companies are obligated to pay coal workers'
pneumoconiosis (black lung) benefits to eligible recipients with
respect to claims awarded on or after July 1, 1973. The
liability and annual expense for these benefits are based on
annual evaluations prepared by the Company's independent
actuaries.
(l)
Pension Plan
The Company has a noncontributory pension plan covering
substantially all employees. Costs of the plan are charged to
current operations and are based on various actuarial
assumptions.
(m)
Health Insurance Programs
The Company is self-insured, up to specified limits, for costs
of casualty claims and medical claims. The Company utilizes
commercial insurance to cover what it considers significant or
catastrophic casualty and medical claims. Accrued casualty
losses are based on actuarial assumptions, adjusted for Company
specific history and expectations.

(Continued)
(n)
Revenue Recognition
The Company currently derives the majority of its revenue from
the sale of coal and leasing of land and related mineral
reserves to coal mining companies. Revenue derived from the sale
of coal is recognized at the time of shipment or delivery to the
customer, and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of
loss based on shipping terms. Revenue derived from the mineral
leases are recognized at the time coal is extracted from the
leased premises.
(o)
Freight Costs
Shipping and handling costs paid to third-party carriers are
recorded as freight expense and included in cost of sales.
(p)
Income Taxes
The Company is a limited liability company organized under the
laws of the State of Delaware. Tax attributes of a limited
liability company pass through to the individual investors.
Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet does
not include income tax assets or liabilities.
(q)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet
for cash and cash equivalents, bank overdraft, accounts
receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value because
of the short maturity of these instruments. See note 10
regarding advances to related parties.
(r)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
balance sheet date, and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and
assumptions made by the Company include the allowance for
doubtful accounts; recoverable mineral tonnage in the ground;
pension and postretirement accruals; reclamation and mine
closure obligations; black lung and workers' compensation
liabilities; and inventory obsolescence. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
(2)
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable, net at December 31, 2002 consists of
the following:
Trade accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful
    accounts of $7,772

In fiscal 2001, as a result of changes occurring in the energy
industry, the Company assessed the carrying values of property,
plant, and equipment and determined that the carrying amounts of
certain of its assets were impaired. As a result, the Company
reduced historical carrying values of certain of its property,
plant and equipment to their estimated fair market values. The
impairment charge recorded totaled approximately
$127.6 million.
(5)
Employees' Termination Benefits
Between March and June of 2002, the Company approved a plan to
terminate approximately 100 coal-mining and administrative
employees located in Virginia and Kentucky. As compensation for
their termination, the Company offered terminated employees a
benefits package based upon the employees' years of service
and levels of income. Approximately $70,000 and
$3.3 million of such benefits expense was incurred for the
period from January 1, 2003 to January 31, 2003 and
the year ended December 31, 2002, respectively.
Approximately $528,000 was unpaid at December 31, 2002 and
is included in other current liabilities.

In connection with services rendered in obtaining the black lung
excise tax refund (see note 2), the Company has agreed to
pay portions of the refund to certain third parties. This amount
is included in current and noncurrent liabilities.
Under the Federal Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of
1977 and similar state statutes, mine property is required to be
restored in accordance with regulated standards. The
establishment of the reclamation liability is based on permit
requirements and requires various estimates and assumptions,
principally associated with costs and timing of expenditures.
The Company periodically reviews its entire environmental
liability and makes necessary adjustments, including permit
changes, revisions to costs and timing of expenditures to
reflect current experience.
As described in note 1, the Company adopted the provisions
of SFAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003. The changes
in the asset retirement obligation for the period from
January 1, 2003 to January 31, 2003 are as follows:

The Company leases coal properties to independent third parties
under terms requiring periodic minimum royalty payments. These
payments are recorded by the Company as deferred royalty income
when received and are recognized into income using the units of
production method associated with specific reserves covered
under the lease. At December 31, 2002, the Company has
approximately $223,000 of deferred royalty income to be
recognized in future periods, which is included in other current
liabilities.
On December 4, 2002, the Company sold the majority of the
coal properties of three of its subsidiaries, Enterprise,
Kingwood and VICC, to CSTL, LLC for $57 million. As part of
this sale, the
F-84

(Continued)
Company's then parent company, El Paso, received the
right to receive an overriding royalty on the coal produced from
the assets sold. The majority of the coal properties were leased
back to the Company. The total gain was approximately
$11.2 million. The Company has deferred the gain on the
sale of the coal properties amounting to approximately
$7.7 million as of December 31, 2002, of which
approximately $325,000 is included in other current liabilities.
The Company had a long-term supply contract with American
Electric Power (AEP) at a below market price. The terms of the
contract were for 1.2 million tons annually until
June 30, 2005. On December 9, 2002, the Company
entered into a termination and release agreement, whereby AEP
agreed to terminate its contract with the Company and release
the Company from any further obligations under the supply
agreement in exchange for a settlement payment of approximately
$16.1 million. This amount was recorded as a loss during
2002 and is included in other current liabilities in the
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2002.
(7)
Virginia Coalfield Employment Enhancement Tax Credit
For tax years 1996 though 2007, Virginia companies with an
economic interest in coal, earn tax credits based upon tons
sold, seam thickness, and employment levels. The maximum credit
earned equals $0.40 per ton for surface mined coal and
$1.00 or $2.00 per ton for deep mined coal depending on
seam thickness. Credits allowable are deducted from the maximum
amounts if employment levels are not maintained from the
previous year, and no credit is allowed for coal sold to
Virginia utilities. Currently, the cash benefit of the credit is
realized between three and four years after being earned and
either offsets taxes imposed by Virginia at 100% or is
refundable by the state at 85% of the face value to the extent
taxes are not owed. The credits are available or refundable to
El Paso. The Company records the present value of the
credit as a reduction of current year operating costs and as an
adjustment to due from related parties as it is earned. The
reduction to operating costs for the period from January 1,
2003 to January 31, 2003, and for the year ended
December 31, 2002 was approximately $116,000 and
$1.3 million, respectively.
(8)
Workers' Compensation and Pneumoconiosis Benefit
    Obligations
Coal mining companies are subject to the Federal Coal Mine
Health and Safety Act of 1969 (the Act), as amended, and various
states' statutes for the payment of medical and disability
benefits to eligible recipients related to coal worker's
pneumoconiosis (black lung). The Company provides for these
claims principally through a self-insurance program. The
liability for such claims is determined based upon an annual
evaluation prepared by the Company's independent actuaries.
On December 20, 2000, the United States Department of Labor
published revised administrative rules with respect to the Act.
The revised regulations are expected to increase the cost of
benefits paid under the Act by generating an increase to the
approval rate of claims filed under the Act as well as an
increase to the average cost per claim filed under the Act. The
Company's black lung reserves incorporate an estimate of
the increase in the frequency and severity of black lung claims
due to the Department of Labor's revised administrative
rules. However, due to lack of historical data with regards to
the effect of the revised administrative rules, it is possible
that actual results may materially differ from the estimate
provided above.
(9)
Pension, Postretirement, and Postemployment Benefits
The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering
substantially all employees which provides for retirement
benefits based upon an employee's credited service at
termination and, for salaried employees, compensation history.
Funding for the plan is based upon a review of the specific
requirements and an evaluation of the assets and liabilities of
the plan.
F-85
Table of Contents
COASTAL COAL COMPANY, LLC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —
(Continued)
In addition to the Company's defined benefit pension plan,
the Company also sponsors a defined benefit health care plan.
The plan provides certain medical, dental and life insurance
benefits to eligible retired employees. Employees of the Company
generally become eligible for retiree health care benefits by
retiring from the Company after reaching ages 50 or 55,
depending upon the nature of their service to the Company, and
attaining ten years of service. Generally, the medical and
dental plans pay a stated percentage of most medical expenses
reduced for any deductibles and payments made by government
programs and other group coverage. The postretirement medical,
dental and life insurance plans are unfunded. The measurement
date used to determine pension and postretirement benefit
measures is September 30.
The net periodic benefit cost for the period from
January 1, 2003 to January 31, 2003 is as follows:

liability for such claims is determined based upon an annual
evaluation by the Company's independent actuaries. As of
December 31, 2002, an accrued benefit liability of

El Paso has a defined contribution employee benefit plan
(the Plan) covering substantially all employees of the Company.
The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. A participant may elect
to make basic contributions from 2% to 15% of his or her
eligible compensation on a before-tax or after-tax basis.
El Paso made matching contributions on behalf of the
Company in cash equal to 75% of a participant's basic
contribution up to a maximum level of 6% of eligible
compensation. Those contributions were approximately $100,000
for the period from January 1, 2003 to January 31,
2003 and $1.3 million for the year ended December 31,
2002.

Related Party Transactions
Affiliates of El Paso perform certain administrative
services for the Company and allocate charges based on the
services performed. Such administrative services include, but
are not limited to, finance, treasury, cash management, payroll
processing, employee benefit administration and certain
accounting functions. El Paso would also advance cash to
the Company, on an as needed basis, to fund the Company's
payroll, accounts payable and other cash needs, and would borrow
any excess cash generated by the Company. As of
December 31, 2002, El Paso and its affiliates owe the
Company approximately $28.8 million related to these
matters, the amount being reflected as a component of
member's equity.

Commitments and Contingencies
The Company mines coal on properties leased from independent
third parties. Under the terms of the leases, the Company pays
production royalties based on a percentage of the net sales
price of coal produced or based on the actual tonnage mined from
the leased premises. The Company's mineral leases require
the Company to pay minimum royalties. Some of such leases have
fixed terms and others are effective until exhaustion of the
mineral reserves. Future minimum royalty payments under mineral
lease agreements at December 31, 2002 were as follows:

business. The outcome or timing of current legal or
environmental matters or the impact, if any, of pending
legislation or regulatory developments on future operations is
not currently estimable.
In the normal course of operations, the Company enters into
long-term supply contracts for the sale of various qualities of
coal to customers in the energy industry. Under the terms of
these contracts, the Company is obligated to supply coal to
customers at prices ranging from approximately $24 to
$38 per ton/, with such prices subject to adjustment in
future periods based upon factors such as the quality of the
coal. All supply contracts entered into as of December 31,
2002 will expire through September 10, 2010.
(12)
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is engaged in the production of high-quality low
sulfur steam coal for the electric generating industry as well
as industrial customers. Coal produced from the Company's
reserves located in Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky is
primarily sold to energy companies in the eastern and
southeastern United States under long-term supply agreements.
Additional production from Company reserves not covered under
supply contracts is sold on the open market. The Company is
subject to risks and uncertainties related to the
creditworthiness of customers in the energy industry as well as
price, supply, demand, and other volatility associated with coal
commodity markets. Commodities markets and economic conditions
have been volatile in the past and can be expected to be
volatile in the future.
Three of the Company's largest customers, Mirant Americas
Energy Marketing, LP, South Carolina Electric & Gas and
American Electric Power, account for approximately 17%, 11% and
11%, respectively, of the Company's trade accounts
receivable at December 31, 2002. The Company has
approximately $3.4 million, $2.1 million and
$2.1 million due from Mirant Americas Energy Marketing, LP,
South Carolina Electric & Gas and American Electric
Power, respectively, at December 31, 2002.
Three of the Company's largest customers, Mirant Americas
Energy Marketing, LP, Georgia Power Company, and Ontario Power
Generation account for approximately 20%, 13% and 10%,
respectively, which represents approximately $4.4 million,
$2.9 million and $2.1 million, respectively, of the
Company's net sales for the period from January 1,
2003 to January 31, 2003.
Three of the Company's largest customers, Georgia Power
Company, Ontario Power Generation, and American Electric Power,
account for approximately 16%, 10% and 10%, respectively, which
represents approximately $42.3 million, $27.0 million
and $27.2 million, respectively, of the Company's net
sales for the year ended December 31, 2002.
(13)
Subsequent Sale of the Company
On January 31, 2003, El Paso Corporation sold its
membership interest in the Company, subject to certain retained
assets and liabilities, to AMFIRE, LLC, a subsidiary of Alpha
Natural Resources, LLC. The retained assets and liabilities
included cash, black lung excise tax receivables, pension and
post-employment obligations, black lung obligations, and
workers' compensation obligations.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2002 and 2001
(1)
Basis of Presentation and Organization
The accompanying combined financial statements include certain
subsidiaries of Mears Enterprises, Inc. which operate six mining
complexes and a preparation plant all located in Pennsylvania
(The Combined Pennsylvania Entities of Mears Enterprises, Inc.,
or the Company). The Company is a producer and broker of
bituminous coal, with distribution and sales occurring primarily
in the northeastern part of the United States. Principal
customers of the Company are domestic public utilities,
industrial companies, and related parties.
Companies comprising The Combined Pennsylvania Entities of Mears
Enterprises, Inc., represented by function, are the following:
Coal sales and brokering:
Mears, Inc. (S-Corporation)
DLR Coal Company (General Partnership)
S&M Mining (General Partnership)
Mine acquisition and development:
Mears, Inc. (S-Corporation)
DLR Mining, Inc. (C-Corporation)
S&M Mining, Inc. (S-Corporation)
Functions performed within this group range from the very
initial stages of surveying land for mining potential,
performing surface mining and deep mining of all grades and
qualities of coal, transferring coal from the mine to storage
facilities, and the selling and brokering coal to both third and
related parties.
(2)
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices
(a) Basis of Presentation
The combined financial statements include the accounts of The
Combined Pennsylvania Entities of Mears Enterprises, Inc. All
significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated.
(b) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company defines cash and cash equivalents as highly liquid,
short-term investments with a maturity at the date of
acquisition of three months or less.
(c) Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for
    Doubtful Accounts
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount
and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is
the Company's best estimate of the amount of probable
credit losses in the Company's existing accounts
receivable. The Company establishes provisions for losses on
accounts receivable when it is probable that all or part of the
outstanding balance will not be collected. The Company regularly
reviews collectibility and establishes or adjusts the allowance
as necessary using the specific identification method. The
allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 and $4,375 at
December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Account balances
are charged off against the allowance after all means of
collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is
considered remote. The Company does not have any
off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS —
(Continued)
(d) Coal Inventory
Coal inventory is stated at the lower of cost, with cost
determined using average monthly production costs, or market
value. Purchased coal is stated at purchase price. Coal
inventory at December 31, 2002 and 2001 was comprised of
raw and purchased coal.
(e) Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs charged to customers have been
included in coal sales. Shipping and handling costs incurred by
the company have been included in cost of sales and other
operating expenses.
(f) Property, Plant, and Equipment
Costs incurred as part of the acquisition of mineral interests
and mine development costs incurred to expand capacity of
operating mines or to develop new mines are capitalized and
charged to operations on the units-of-production method. Mine
development costs include costs incurred for site preparation
and development at the mines during the development stage.
Mobile mining equipment and other fixed assets are stated at
cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated
useful lives ranging from 5 to 30 years or on a
units-of-production basis. Leasehold improvements are amortized,
using the straight-line method, over their estimated useful
lives or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter. Major
repairs and betterments that significantly extend original
useful lives or improve productivity are capitalized and
depreciated over the period benefited. Maintenance and repairs
are expensed as incurred.
(g) Asset Retirement Obligations
Minimum standards for mine reclamation have been established by
various regulatory agencies and dictate the reclamation
requirements at the Company's operations.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 143,
Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations.
SFAS No. 143 requires the Company to
record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a
liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation
associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets
that result from the acquisition, construction, development,
and/or normal use of the assets. The Company also records a
corresponding asset that is depreciated over the life of the
asset. Subsequent to the initial measurement of the asset
retirement obligation, the obligation will be adjusted at the
end of each period to reflect the passage of time and changes in
the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation.
The Company has future obligations to reclaim properties
disturbed in conjunction with coal operations under federal and
state laws. Some reclamation of disturbed acreage is performed
as a normal part of the mining process with the remainder done
at the end of the life of the mine. The Company adopted
SFAS No. 143,
Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations,
on January 1, 2003. Upon adoption,
property, plant, and equipment (net) were increased by
$2,163,446; asset retirement obligations were increased by
$2,474,301; and the cumulative effect of the accounting change
was $(310,855).
Prior to January 1, 2003, the estimated cost for mine
reclamation was provided for using the units of production
method over the economic life of the mine. Estimated reclamation
costs were subject to review by management on a regular basis
and revised when appropriate for changes in future estimated
costs and/or regulatory requirements.

(h) Advance Mining Royalties
Rights to leased coal lands are often acquired in exchange for
royalty payments. Advance mining royalties are advance payments
made to lessors under terms of mineral lease agreements that are
recoupable against future production. These advance payments are
deferred and charged to operations as the coal reserves are
mined. In instances where advance payments are not expected to
be offset against future production royalties, no asset is
recognized and the scheduled future minimum payments are
recognized as liabilities.
(i) Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized on coal sales at the time of shipment or
delivery to the customer, and the customer takes ownership and
assumes risk of loss based on shipping terms.
(j) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with SFAS No. 144,
Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets,
long-lived
assets, such as property, plant, equipment, and purchased
intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a
comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated
undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the
asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated
future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the
amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the
fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be
separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the
lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell
and would no longer be depreciated. The assets and liabilities
of a disposal group classified as held for sale would be
presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability
sections of the balance sheet.
(k) Income Taxes
All companies included in The Combined Pennsylvania Entities of
Mears Enterprises, Inc. are either S corporations or
general partnerships except for DLR Mining, Inc. Under each of
these structures, for income tax purposes the net income or loss
of the S corporation and general partnership is allocated
directly to the respective shareholders and or partners and is
included in their individual tax returns. Therefore, no
provision for income tax has been included in the combined
financial statements for these entities. DLR Mining, Inc. has a
net deferred tax asset for which a valuation allowance has been
provided. The significant components of the net deferred tax
asset are net operating loss carryforwards and certain
liabilities which have not yet been deducted for tax purposes.
(l) Risks and Uncertainties
The Company is engaged in the production of steam and
metallurgical coal for the electric generating industry as well
as industrial customers. Coal produced from the Company's
reserves located in Pennsylvania is sold to energy companies
throughout the northeastern part of the United States primarily
under long-term supply agreements. Additional production from
Company reserves not covered under supply contracts is sold on
the open market. The Company is subject to risks and

Compensation and Pneumoconiosis (Black Lung) Benefits
The Company is insured for workers' compensation claims.
The Company is required by federal and state statutes to provide
benefits to employees for awards related to black lung. The
Company is fully insured for this obligation.
(n)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. The more significant items requiring the use of
management estimates are allowances for doubtful accounts;
mineral reserves; reclamation and mine closure obligations;
employee benefit liabilities; future cash flows associated with
assets; and useful lives for depreciation, depletion, and
amortization. Due to the prospective nature of these estimates,
actual results could differ from those estimates.

(1)
Business and Basis of Presentation
(a)
Organization and Business
The accompanying unaudited condensed combined financial
statements include the accounts of the coal mining operations of
The Combined Entities of The Nicewonder Coal Group
(collectively, the Company). All affiliated companies within the
group are under common management and control.
The Company is primarily engaged in the business of extracting,
processing and marketing coal from surface mines, principally
located in West Virginia and Virginia, for sale to electric
utilities and steel producers in the United States. The Company
is also engaged in the road construction contracting business in
cooperation with the West Virginia Department of Transportation
Division of Highways that permits the Company to recover the
coal removed in the construction process.
Companies comprising the coal mining operations of the Company
are the following:
Mate Creek Energy of W. Va., Inc. (Mate Creek) (S-Corporation)
Buchanan Energy Company, LLC (Buchanan Energy) (Limited
    Liability Company)
Virginia Energy Company (Virginia Energy) (S-Corporation)
Nicewonder Contracting, Inc. (Nicewonder Contracting)
    (S-Corporation)
White Flame Energy, Inc. (White Flame Energy) (S-Corporation)
Premium Energy, Inc. (Premium Energy) (S-Corporation)
Twin Star Mining, Inc. (Twin Star) (S-Corporation)
Powers Shop, LLC (Powers Shop) (Limited Liability Company)
Functions performed within this group range from the very
    initial stages of surveying land for mining potential,
    performing surface mining of all grades and qualities of coal,
    transferring coal from the mine to storage facilities, and the
    selling of coal to both third and related parties.
(b)
Principles of Combination
The accompanying unaudited condensed combined financial
statements include the accounts of the companies described
above. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in combination.
(c)
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed combined financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial reporting. Accounting measurements at interim dates
inherently rely on estimates more than year end; however, in the
opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included. Results of operations for the six months
ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the year ending December 31,
2005. These financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited combined financial statements and related notes
as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004.

In May 2004, Nicewonder Contracting entered into a contract
agreement with the West Virginia Department of Transportation
Division of Highways (WVDOH) for the construction of a road
project by performing excavation services and providing subgrade
materials to assist in the construction of the road. The road
project is titled the "Red Jacket Project" and is part
of the King Coal Highway project in West Virginia. As part of
the agreement, Nicewonder Contracting is assisting the WVDOH by
assuming the lead role in obtaining from large tract owners
sufficient legal rights to the rights-of-ways necessary to
construct the Red Jacket Project and assisting in getting the
surface lands and rights-of-ways conveyed to WVDOH. The project
is expected to take approximately six years to complete. The Red
Jacket Project is Nicewonder Contracting's only project in
progress as of June 30, 2005.
Based on the terms of the contract with WVDOH, Nicewonder
Contracting is reimbursed based on units of in-place cubic yards
excavated and associated unit costs. The road construction
project is expected to be a zero profit contract over the life
of the project. As part of the contract agreement, Nicewonder
Contracting is allowed to remove and sell any and all coal
excavated during the construction process with all coal sales
revenue recognized by Nicewonder Contracting.
The Company had uncompleted and scheduled road construction
contracts at June 30, 2005 as follows:

Asset Retirement Obligation
Under the Federal Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of
1977 and similar state statutes, mine property is required to be
restored in accordance with regulated standards. The
establishment of the asset retirement obligation accrual for
mine reclamation and mine closure costs is based on permit
requirements and requires various estimates and assumptions,
principally associated with costs, productivities, and timing of
expenditures. The Company periodically reviews its entire
environmental liability and makes necessary adjustments,
including permit changes, revisions to costs and productivities
to reflect current experience, and accretion related to the
liability.
At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company
has recorded asset retirement obligation accruals for mine
reclamation and closure costs totaling $9,180,400 and
$8,922,800, respectively. The portion of the costs expected to
be incurred within one year in the amount of $392,000 at
June 30, 2005 is included in accrued expenses and other
current liabilities. Changes in the asset retirement obligation
were as follows:

Notes Payable — Stockholders'
    Distributions
Notes payable — stockholders' distributions
consisted of notes payable issued to the stockholders of the
Company in lieu of cash distributions. The notes are noninterest
bearing and are due on demand. However, each December 31,
the stockholders waive their rights to call the amounts due for
a period of 18 months. The outstanding balance of the notes
payable — stockholders' distributions at
June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 was $28,778,988
and $41,313,293, respectively. Given the nature of these notes
payable to stockholders, the notes have been reflected as part
of total stockholders' equity and members' equity in
the accompanying condensed combined financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 151,
Inventory Costs
which amends the
guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4
Inventory
Pricing,
to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of
idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted
material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB 43,
Chapter 4, previously stated that under some circumstances,
items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double
freight, and rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require
treatment as current period charges. SFAS No. 151
requires that those items be recognized as current-period
charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of
"so abnormal." In addition, SFAS No. 151
requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the
costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the
production facilities. SFAS No. 151 shall be effective
for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for
inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after the
date SFAS No. 151 was issued. SFAS No. 151
shall be applied prospectively. The Company
F-110
Table of Contents
THE COMBINED ENTITIES OF THE
NICEWONDER COAL GROUP
Notes to Condensed Combined Financial
Statements — (Continued)
does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 151 to have a
material effect on its combined financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153,
Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets,
which amends Accounting
Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 29,
Accounting
for Nonmonetary Transactions.
APB Opinion No. 29 is
based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets
should be measured based on the fair value of the assets
exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, included
certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS No. 153
amends APB Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for
nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces
it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets
that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange
has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity
are expected to change significantly as a result of the
exchange. SFAS No. 153 shall be effective for
nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods
beginning after June 15, 2005. Earlier application is
permitted for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal
periods beginning after the date SFAS No. 153 was
issued. SFAS No. 153 shall be applied prospectively.
The Company does not expect the adoption of
SFAS No. 153 to have a material effect on its combined
financial statements.
On March 17, 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) of the FASB reached consensus on EITF Issue
No. 04-6,
Accounting for Stripping Costs Incurred during
Production in the Mining Industry,
and on March 30,
2005, the FASB Board ratified the consensus. The EITF reached
consensus that stripping costs incurred during the production
phase of a mine are variable production costs that should be
included in the costs of inventory produced during the period
that the stripping costs are incurred. ETIF 04-6 is
effective for the first reporting period in fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2005 with early adoption
permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of
EITF 04-6 will have any material financial statement impact.
In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47,
Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations,
an interpretation of SFAS No. 143,
Accounting for
Asset Retirement Obligations.
This Interpretation clarifies
that an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair
value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred
if the liability's fair value can be reasonably estimated.
The provisions of this pronouncement are effective for fiscal
years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company does not
expect the adoption of Interpretation No. 47 will have any
material financial statement impact.
In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154,
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,
a replacement
of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. The
statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting
principle, and changes the requirements for accounting for and
reporting of a change in accounting principle.
SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to
prior periods' financial statements of a voluntary change
in accounting principle unless it is impracticable.
SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and
corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for
accounting changes and corrections of errors made occurring in
fiscal years beginning after June 1, 2005. The statement
does not change the transition provisions of any existing
accounting pronouncements, including those that are in a
transition phase as of the effective date of this statement. The
Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 154
to have a material effect on its combined financial statements.

Subsequent Events
Subsequent to June 30, 2005 through September 30,
2005, the Company purchased approximately $6.2 million of
equipment for use in its operations. These items were financed
over various periods of time ranging from 24 to 48 months.

Independent Auditors' Report
The Board of Directors
The Combined Entities of The Nicewonder Coal Group:
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of The
Combined Entities of The Nicewonder Coal Group (the Company) as
of December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, and the related
combined statements of income, stockholders' equity and
members' equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows
for the years then ended. These combined financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States of America. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration
of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of The Combined Entities of The Nicewonder Coal Group
as of December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the Unites States of America.
As discussed in note 2(h) to the combined financial
statements, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Statement
No. 143,
Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations
, effective January 1, 2003.

THE COMBINED ENTITIES OF THE
NICEWONDER COAL GROUP
Notes to Combined Financial Statements
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002
(1)
Business and Basis of Presentation
(a)
Organization and Business
The accompanying combined financial statements include the
accounts of the coal mining operations of The Combined Entities
of The Nicewonder Coal Group (collectively, the Company). All
affiliated companies within the group are under common
management and control.
The Company is primarily engaged in the business of extracting,
processing and marketing coal from surface mines, principally
located in West Virginia and Virginia, for sale to electric
utilities and steel producers in the United States. The Company
is also engaged in the road construction contracting business in
cooperation with the West Virginia Department of Transportation
Division of Highways that permits the Company to recover the
coal removed in the construction process.
Companies comprising the coal mining operations of the Company
are the following:
Mate Creek Energy of W. Va., Inc. (Mate Creek) (S-Corporation)
Buchanan Energy Company, LLC (Buchanan Energy) (Limited
    Liability Company)
Virginia Energy Company (Virginia Energy) (S-Corporation)
Nicewonder Contracting, Inc. (Nicewonder Contracting)
    (S-Corporation)
White Flame Energy, Inc. (White Flame Energy) (S-Corporation)
Premium Energy, Inc. (Premium Energy) (S-Corporation)
Twin Star Mining, Inc. (Twin Star) (S-Corporation)
Powers Shop, LLC (Powers Shop) (Limited Liability Company)
Functions performed within this group range from the very
initial stages of surveying land for mining potential,
performing surface mining of all grades and qualities of coal,
transferring coal from the mine to storage facilities, and the
selling of coal to both third and related parties.
(b)
Principles of Combination
The accompanying combined financial statements include the
accounts of the companies described above. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
combination.
(2)
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices
(a)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid,
short-term investments. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at
cost, which approximates fair market value. For purposes of the
combined statements of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three
months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its
cash in high quality financial institutions. The balances, at
times, may exceed federally insured limits.
(b)
Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful
    Accounts
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount
and do not bear interest. An allowance for doubtful accounts is
the Company's best estimate of the amount of probable
credit losses in the Company's existing accounts
receivable. The Company establishes provisions for losses on
accounts receivable when it is probable that all or part of the
outstanding balance will not be collected. The Company regularly
reviews collectibility and establishes or adjusts an allowance
as necessary using the specific identification method. Account
balances are charged off against an allowance after all means of
F-118
Table of Contents
THE COMBINED ENTITIES OF THE
NICEWONDER COAL GROUP
Notes to Combined Financial
Statements — (Continued)
collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is
considered remote. The Company does not have any
off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.
Management has determined that trade accounts receivable as of
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, are collectible and
therefore, no allowance for doubtful accounts has been
established.
(c)
Inventories
Coal inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The
cost of coal inventories is determined based on average cost of
production. Coal is classified as inventory at the point in time
the coal is extracted from the mine and weighed at a loading
facility.
Materials and supplies inventories are valued at average cost.
(d)
Investments in Marketable Securities
Management determines the appropriate classification of
marketable securities at time of purchase and evaluates the
appropriateness at each balance-sheet date. As of
December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company's
marketable securities consisted of equity securities classified
as available-for-sale.
Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value with
unrealized gains and losses reported in other comprehensive
income. Realized gains (losses) on securities available for sale
are included in other income (expense) and, when
applicable, are reported as a reclassification adjustment in
other comprehensive income. Gains and losses on sales of
securities are determined on the specific-identification method.
Declines in the fair value of individual available-for-sale
securities below their cost that are other than temporary result
in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value.
The related write-downs are included in earnings as realized
losses.
(e)
Equity Investments
Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries representing
ownership of at least 20% but less than 50% are accounted for
under the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting,
the Company's proportionate share of the investee
company's income or loss is included in the Company's
net income or loss with a corresponding increase or decrease in
the carrying value of the investment.
(f)
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Costs for mineral properties, mineral rights, and mine
development incurred to expand capacity of operating mines or to
develop new mines are capitalized and charged to operations on
the units-of-production method over the estimated proven and
probable reserve tons. Mine development costs include costs
incurred for site preparation and development of the mines
during the development stage. Mobile mining equipment and other
fixed assets are stated at cost and depreciated on a
straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from 5
to 10 years. Buildings and improvements are depreciated on
a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging from
20 to 30 years. Major repairs and betterments that
significantly extend original useful lives or improve
productivity are capitalized and depreciated over the period
benefited. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
The Company capitalizes interest cost as a component of the cost
of mine development. Interest cost capitalized during the years
ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 was $115,733 and $76,432,
respectively. No interest was capitalized for the year ended
December 31, 2004.

(g)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
, long-lived assets, such as
property, plant, equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to
amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an
asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be
held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount
of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected
to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset
exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is
recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the
asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed
of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and
reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less
costs to sell, and would no longer be depreciated. The assets
and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale
would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and
liability sections of the balance sheet.
(h)
Asset Retirement Obligation
The Company has future obligations to reclaim properties
disturbed in conjunction with coal operations under federal and
state laws. Reclamation of disturbed acreage is performed as a
normal part of the mining process.
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued SFAS No. 143,
Accounting for
Asset Retirement Obligations.
SFAS No. 143
requires the Company to record the fair value of an asset
retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it
incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of
tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition,
construction, development, and/or normal use of the assets. In
addition, the Company records a corresponding asset that is
depreciated over the life of the asset. Subsequent to the
initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation, the
obligation is adjusted at the end of each period to reflect the
passage of time and changes in the estimated future cash flows
underlying the obligation.
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 143
effective January 1, 2003. Upon adoption, property, plant,
and equipment, net were increased by $3,750,400; asset
retirement obligations were increased by $5,940,800; other
liabilities were decreased by $1,730,524; and the cumulative
effect of the change in accounting principle of $(459,876) was
reflected in the combined statement of income for the year ended
December 31, 2003.
Prior to January 1, 2003, the estimated cost for mine
reclamation was provided for using the units-of-production
method over the economic life of the mine. Estimated reclamation
costs were subject to review by management on a regular basis
and revised when appropriate for changes in future estimated
costs and/or regulatory requirements.
(i)
Royalties
Lease rights to coal lands are often acquired in exchange for
royalty payments. Advance mining royalties are advance payments
made to lessors under terms of mineral lease agreements that are
recoupable against future production. These advance payments are
deferred and charged to operations as the coal reserves are
mined. The Company regularly reviews recoverability of advance
mining royalties and establishes or adjusts an allowance for
advance mining royalties as necessary using the specific
identification method. In instances where advance payments are
not expected to be offset against future production royalties,
the Company establishes a provision for losses on the advance
payments that have been paid and the scheduled future minimum
payments are expensed and recognized as liabilities.
F-120
Table of Contents
THE COMBINED ENTITIES OF THE
NICEWONDER COAL GROUP
Notes to Combined Financial
Statements — (Continued)
Advance royalty balances are charged off against an allowance
when the lease rights are either terminated or expire.
Management has determined that the balance of advanced royalties
as of December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, are recoupable
against future production royalties and therefore, no allowance
for advanced mining royalties has been established.
(j)
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue on coal sales when title passes
to the customer in accordance with the terms of the sales
agreement. Revenue from coal sales is recorded at the time of
shipment or delivery to the customer, and the customer takes
ownership and assumes risk of loss based on shipping terms.
Revenues are computed on the basis of the final adjusted per ton
price to be derived from coal sales.
Other revenues generally consist of road construction contract
revenue, mineral and gas royalties, timber sales, engineering
services revenue, and rental income. These revenues, excluding
road construction contract revenue, are recognized in the period
earned or when the service is completed.
The Company recognizes revenue on long-term road construction
contracts using the percentage-of-completion method, based upon
the percentage of cubic yards excavated to date to the current
estimate of total cubic yards to be excavated to complete each
project in process at year end. Projected losses are provided
for in their entirety in the accounting period that such losses
become evident, without reference to the completion status of
such projects. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and
estimated profitability, including those arising from contract
penalty provisions, change orders, claims and final contract
settlements may result in revisions in total cubic yards to be
excavated and earned revenues and are reflected during the
accounting period in which the facts giving rise to such
revisions become known. General and administrative expenses are
expensed as incurred.
The asset, "costs and estimated earnings in excess of
billings on uncompleted contracts," represents revenues
recognized in advance of amounts billed. The liability,
"billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on
uncompleted contracts," represents billings in advance of
revenues recognized.
(k)
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in
coal revenues. Shipping and handling costs incurred by the
Company are included in cost of coal revenues.
(l)
Workers' Compensation and Pneumoconiosis (Black Lung)
    Benefits
Workers' Compensation
Workers' compensation at all locations in West Virginia are
insured through the West Virginia state insurance program.
Workers' compensation claims at locations in all other
states where the Company operates are covered by a third-party
insurance provider.
Black Lung Benefits
The Company is required by federal and state statutes to provide
benefits to employees for awards related to black lung. These
claims are covered by a third-party insurance provider in all
locations where the Company operates with the exception of West
Virginia. The Company's state black lung related claims at
all locations in West Virginia are insured through the West
Virginia state insurance program.

Statements — (Continued)
(m)
Income Taxes
The combined financial statements contain two types of entities
for federal and state income tax purposes: corporations and
limited liability companies.
The entities which are corporations have elected to be taxed
under the provision of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue
Code. Therefore, these corporations do not pay federal or state
corporate income taxes on their taxable income. Instead, the
stockholders of the Subchapter S corporations are liable
for individual federal and state income taxes on their
proportionate share of the corporations' taxable income.
Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is included in the
accompanying combined financial statements.
Certain entities are limited liability companies, which are
taxed as partnerships for federal and state income tax purposes.
Therefore, no provisions for federal or state income taxes is
made since such taxes, if any, are the responsibility of the
members.
(n)
New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 151,
Inventory Costs
which amends
the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4
Inventory
Pricing
, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of
idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted
material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB 43, Chapter 4,
previously stated that under some circumstances, items such as
idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and
rehandling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as
current period charges. SFAS No. 151 requires that
those items be recognized as current-period charges regardless
of whether they meet the criterion of "so abnormal."
In addition, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of
fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based
on the normal capacity of the production facilities.
SFAS No. 151 shall be effective for inventory costs
incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.
Earlier application is permitted for inventory costs incurred
during fiscal years beginning after the date
SFAS No. 151 was issued. SFAS No. 151 shall
be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect the
adoption of SFAS No. 151 to have a material effect on
its combined financial statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153,
Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets
, which amends Accounting
Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 29,
Accounting for
Nonmonetary Transactions.
APB Opinion No. 29 is based
on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be
measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The
guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions
to that principle. SFAS No. 153 amends APB Opinion
No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges
of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general
exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have
commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial
substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to
change significantly as a result of the exchange.
SFAS No. 153 shall be effective for nonmonetary asset
exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after
June 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for
nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods
beginning after the date SFAS No. 153 was issued.
SFAS No. 153 shall be applied prospectively. The
Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 153
to have a material effect on its combined financial statements.
On March 17, 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) of the FASB reached consensus on EITF Issue
No. 04-6,
Accounting for Stripping Costs Incurred during
Production in the Mining Industry
, and on March 30,
2005, the FASB Board ratified the consensus. The EITF reached
consensus that stripping costs incurred during the production
phase of a mine are variable production costs that should be
included in the costs of inventory produced during the period
that the stripping costs are incurred. ETIF
F-122
Table of Contents
THE COMBINED ENTITIES OF THE
NICEWONDER COAL GROUP
Notes to Combined Financial
Statements — (Continued)
04-6 is effective for the first reporting period in fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2005 with early adoption
permitted. The Company does not expect that the adoption of
EITF 04-6 will have any material financial statement impact.
In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47,
Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations
,
an interpretation of SFAS No. 143,
Accounting for
Asset Retirement Obligations.
This Interpretation clarifies
that an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair
value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred
if the liability's fair value can be reasonably estimated.
The provisions of this pronouncement are effective for fiscal
years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company does not
expect the adoption of Interpretation No. 47 will have any
material financial statement impact.
In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154,
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections
, a replacement
of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. The
statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting
principle, and changes the requirements for accounting for and
reporting of a change in accounting principle.
SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to
prior periods' financial statements of a voluntary change
in accounting principle unless it is impracticable.
SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and
corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2005. Earlier application is permitted for
accounting changes and corrections of errors made occurring in
fiscal years beginning after June 1, 2005. The statement
does not change the transition provisions of any existing
accounting pronouncements, including those that are in a
transition phase as of the effective date of this statement. The
Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 154
to have a material effect on its combined financial statements.
(o)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the combined financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions
include the inventories; mineral reserves; asset retirement
obligations; future cash flows associated with assets;
construction contract revenues and expenses; useful lives for
depreciation, depletion, and amortization; and fair value of
financial instruments. Due to the subjective nature of these
estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates.

In May 2004, Nicewonder Contracting entered into a contract
agreement with the West Virginia Department of Transportation
Division of Highways (WVDOH) for the construction of a road
project by performing excavation services and providing subgrade
materials to assist in the construction of the road. The road
project is titled the "Red Jacket Project" and is part
of the King Coal Highway project in West Virginia. As part of
the agreement, Nicewonder Contracting is assisting the WVDOH by
assuming the lead role in obtaining from large tract owners
sufficient legal rights to the rights-of-ways necessary to
construct the Red Jacket Project and assisting in getting the
surface lands and rights-of-ways conveyed to WVDOH. The project
is expected to take approximately six years to complete. The Red
Jacket Project is Nicewonder Contracting's only project in
progress as of December 31, 2004.
Based on the terms of the contract with WVDOH, Nicewonder
Contracting is reimbursed based on units of in-place cubic yards
excavated and associated unit costs. The road construction
project is expected to be a zero profit contract over the life
of the project. As part of the contract agreement, Nicewonder
Contracting is allowed to remove and sell any and all coal
excavated during the construction process with all coal sales
revenue recognized by Nicewonder Contracting.

Asset Retirement Obligation
Under the Federal Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of
1977 and similar state statutes, mine property is required to be
restored in accordance with regulated standards. The
establishment of the asset retirement obligation accrual for
mine reclamation and mine closure costs is based on permit

requirements and requires various estimates and assumptions,
principally associated with costs, productivities, and timing of
expenditures. The Company periodically reviews its entire
environmental liability and makes necessary adjustments,
including permit changes, revisions to costs and productivities
to reflect current experience, and accretion related to the
liability.
At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company has recorded
asset retirement obligation accruals for mine reclamation and
closure costs totaling $8,922,800 and $6,591,200, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The estimated fair values of financial instruments under
SFAS No. 107,
Disclosures About Fair Value of
Financial Instruments
, are determined based on relevant
market information. These estimates involve uncertainty and
cannot be determined with precision. The following methods and
assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of
financial instrument.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Trade Accounts Receivables,
Notes Payable, Trade Accounts Payable, and Other Current
Liabilities:
The carrying amounts approximate fair value due
to the short maturity of these instruments.
Notes Receivable:
The fair value approximates the
carrying value as the rates associated with the receivables are
comparable to current market rates.
Long-Term Debt:
The fair value of long-term debt is based
on the current market rate of interest offered to the Company
for debt of similar maturities. The estimated fair values of
long-term debt at December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 was
$32,250,946, $16,531,890 and $21,851,160, respectively.

requirements at specified prices. The prices for some multi-year
contracts are adjusted based on economic indices or the contract
may include year-to-year specified price changes. Quantities
sold under some contracts may vary from year to year within
certain limits at the option of the customer.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
As permitted by Section 102 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, or the DGCL, our restated certificate of
incorporation to be effective following the closing of this
offering will include a provision that eliminates the personal
liability of our directors for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director.
Our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and
restated bylaws will also provide that:
•
we must indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest
    extent permitted by Delaware law;
•
we may advance expenses, as incurred, to our directors and
    executive officers in connection with a legal proceeding to the
    fullest extent permitted by Delaware Law; and
•
we may indemnify our other employees and agents to the same
    extent that we indemnified our officers and directors, unless
    otherwise determined by our board of directors.
•
Pursuant to Section 145(a) of the DGCL, we may indemnify
    any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a
    party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
    proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the
    corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a
    director, officer, agent or employee of our company or is or was
    serving at our request as a director, officer, agent, or
    employee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
    trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including
    attorneys' fees, judgment, fines and amounts paid in
    settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in
    connection with such action, suit or proceeding. Pursuant to
    Section 145(b) of the DGCL, the power to indemnify also
    applies to actions brought by or in the right of the corporation
    as well, but only to the extent of defense expenses (including
    attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the
    person in connection with the defense or settlement of such
    action or suit. Pursuant to Section 145(b), we shall not
    indemnify any person in respect of any claim, issue or matter as
    to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to us
    unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the
    court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine
    upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but
    in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is
    fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses
    which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem
    proper. The power to indemnify under Sections 145(a) and
    (b) of the DGCL applies (i) if such person is
    successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action,
    suit or proceeding, or (ii) if such person acted in good
    faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be

in the best interest, or not opposed to the best interest, of
    the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or
    proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
    unlawful.
Section 174 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that
a director, who willfully or negligently approves of an unlawful
payment of dividends or an unlawful stock purchase or
redemption, may be held liable for such actions. A director who
was either absent when the unlawful actions were approved or
dissented at the time, may avoid liability by causing his or her
dissent to such actions to be entered in the books containing
the minutes of the meetings of the board of directors at the
time such action occurred or immediately after such absent
director receives notice of the unlawful acts.
The indemnification provisions contained in our restated
certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws
will not be exclusive of any other rights to which a person may
be entitled by law, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise. In addition, we will
maintain insurance on behalf of our directors and executive
officers insuring them against any liability asserted against
them in their capacities as directors or officers or arising out
of such status.

Item 17.
Undertakings.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers
and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment
by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) It will provide to the underwriter at the closing
    specified in the underwriting agreements, certificates in such
    denominations and registered in such names as required by the
    underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
(2) For purposes of determining any liability under the
    Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of
    prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in
