NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2006

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future periods.

On May 4, 2006, CONSOL Energy’s Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock split of the common stock payable on or about May 31, 2006 to shareholders of record on May 15, 2006. The stock split was effected in the form of a stock dividend. This stock split resulted in the issuance of approximately 92.5 million additional shares of common stock and was accounted for by the transfer of approximately $925 from capital in excess of par value to common stock. This transfer of $925 has been retroactively presented on the December 31, 2005 balance sheet. The stock split also resulted in additional shares available for awards under the CONSOL Energy Inc. Equity Incentive Plan. Earnings per share and dividends paid per share amounts on the face of the consolidated income statement are reflected on a post-split basis.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2005 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all the notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2005 included in CONSOL Energy’s Form 10-K.

Certain reclassifications of 2005 data have been made to conform to the six months ended June 30, 2006 classifications.

Effective January 1, 2006, CONSOL Energy adopted Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 04-13, “Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty” (EITF 04-13). EITF 04-13 defines when a purchase and a sale of inventory with the same party that operates in the same line of business is recorded at fair value or considered a single non-monetary transaction subject to the fair value exception of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions”. The purchase and sale transactions may be pursuant to a single contractual arrangement or separate contractual arrangements and the inventory purchased or sold may be in the form of raw materials, work-in-process, or finished goods. In general, two or more transactions with the same counter party are treated as one if they are entered into in contemplation of each other. In accordance with EITF 04-13, CONSOL Energy has applied this accounting to new or modified agreements after January 1, 2006. Previously, these transactions were recorded on a gross basis. The adoption of EITF 04-13 did not have an impact on net income or cash flows.

Effective January 1, 2006, CONSOL Energy adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R), using the modified prospective transition method and therefore has not restated results for prior periods. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”(SFAS 123). Stock-based compensation expense for all

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

stock-based compensation awards granted after January 1, 2006 is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. CONSOL Energy recognizes these compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, CONSOL Energy recognized stock-based compensation expense in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25. “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, (APB 25). In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) regarding the SEC’s interpretation of SFAS 123R and the valuation of share-based payments for public companies. CONSOL Energy has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123R. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements for a further discussion on stock-based compensation.

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share are computed similarly to basic earnings per share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the effect of dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period as calculated in accordance with SFAS 123R. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that restricted stock units were converted and outstanding stock options were exercised and that the proceeds from such activity was used to acquire shares of common stock at the average market price during the reporting period. Options to purchase 740,916 and 751,654 shares of common stock were outstanding for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2006, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be antidilutive. There were no options to purchase shares of common stock outstanding for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2005 that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

The computations for basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations are as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2006		2005		2006		2005

NOTE 2—ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS:

On March 28, 2006, CONSOL Energy, through a subsidiary, completed a sale/lease back of longwall equipment. Cash proceeds from the sale were $36,363 which was equal to our basis in the equipment. Accordingly, no gain or loss was recorded on the transaction. The lease has been accounted for as a capital lease. The lease term is five years.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

June 30, 2006

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

In January 2006, CONSOL Energy, through a subsidiary, completed the acquisition of Mon River Towing and J.A.R. Barge Lines, LLC, from The Guttman Group for a cash payment of $24,750. The acquisition included 13 towboats and more than 350 barges with the capacity to transport 13 million tons of coal annually. Mon River Towing transports petroleum products, coal, limestone and other bulk commodities to various locations along the navigable rivers of Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky. J.A.R. Barge Line, LLC charters motor vessels and barges to other river transportation firms along the inland waterways. CONSOL Energy expects to continue to provide these business services through its river and dock operations.

On March 30, 2005, CONSOL Energy through its subsidiary, CONSOL of West Virginia, LLC, acquired a 49% interest in Southern West Virginia Energy, LLC for a cash payment of $6,200. In addition, CONSOL Energy agreed to assume the perpetual care liability after certain bond release work is completed by Southern West Virginia Energy, LLC. The discounted liability assumed by CONSOL Energy was $10,159. Southern West Virginia Energy, LLC through its subsidiary will mine low sulfur bituminous coal. The acquisition was accounted for under the equity method of accounting in the period ending June 30, 2005. In the period ending September 30, 2005, after all agreements were substantially completed, the acquisition was fully consolidated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.”

NOTE 3—STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION:

CONSOL Energy adopted the CONSOL Energy Inc. Equity Incentive Plan on April 7, 1999. The plan provides for grants of stock-based awards to key employees and to non-employee directors. Amendments to the plan have been approved by the Board of Directors since the commencement of the plan, and the total number of shares of common stock that can be covered by grants at June 30, 2006 is 18,200,000 of which 2,600,000 are available for issuance of awards other than stock options. No award of stock options may be exercised under the plan after the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the award.

The total stock-based compensation expense was $2,857 and $5,058 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and the related deferred tax benefit totaled $1,111 and $1,967 respectively. Prior to January 1, 2006, CONSOL Energy accounted for stock-based compensation under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” as amended. Generally, no stock-based employee compensation cost for stock options is reflected in net income, as all options granted under the plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant. Prior to January 1, 2006, CONSOL Energy provided pro forma disclosure amounts in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure – an Amendment of SFAS No. 123” (SFAS 148), as if the fair value method defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS 123) had been applied to its stock-based compensation.

Effective January 1, 2006, CONSOL Energy adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R) using the modified prospective transition method and therefore has not restated prior periods’ results. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006 included compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123. Stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payment awards granted after January 1, 2006 is based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. CONSOL Energy recognizes these compensations costs net of a forfeiture rate and recognizes the

compensation costs for only those shares expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term.

As a result of adopting SFAS 123R, pretax income and net income for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $1,829 and $1,118 lower, respectively, than if we had continued to account for stock-based compensation under APB 25. Pretax income and net income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $3,266 and $1,996 lower, respectively, than if we had continued to account for stock-based compensation under APB 25. The impact on basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was less than $0.01 per share and $0.01 per share, respectively. The impact on basic and diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $0.01 per share. Upon the adoption of SFAS 123R, tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options are classified as financing cash flows.

The pro forma table below reflects net earnings and basic and diluted net earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, had CONSOL Energy applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123, as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2005			Six Months Ended June 30, 2005
Net income as reported	$	41,074		$	116,286

Diluted—pro forma	$	0.22		$	0.62

As a result of SFAS 123R, CONSOL Energy reevaluated its assumptions used in estimating the fair value of employee stock options granted. As part of this assessment, management determined that a combination of historical and implied volatility is a better indicator of expected volatility and future stock price trends than solely historical volatility. Therefore, expected volatility for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006 was based on a combination of historical and market-based implied volatility.

As part of its SFAS 123R adoption, CONSOL Energy also examined its historical pattern of stock option exercises in an effort to determine if there were any discernable activity patterns based on certain employee populations. From this analysis, CONSOL Energy identified two distinct employee populations. CONSOL Energy used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value the options for each of the employee populations.

The table below presents the weighted average expected option life in years of the two employee populations. The expected life computation is based upon historical exercise patterns and post-vesting termination behavior of the populations. The risk-free interest rate was determined for each vesting tranche of an award based upon the calculated yield on U.S. Treasury obligations for the expected term of the award. The fair value of share-based payment awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions and weighted average fair values:

	Six Months Ended June 30, 2006			Six Months Ended June 30, 2005
Weighted average fair value of grants	$	15.46		$	11.88
Risk-free interest rate		5.0	%		3.6	%
Dividend yield		0.6	%		1.5	%
Expected Forfeiture Rate		2.0	%		—
Expected volatility		38.5	%		45.6	%
Expected life in years		4.3			2.5

Option activity under the option plans as of June 30, 2006 and changes during the six months ended June 30, 2006 were as follows:

	Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years)	Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands)
Outstanding at December 31, 2005	6,450,314		$	13.98
Granted	745,168			43.37
Exercised	(835,463	)		15.40
Forfeited	(32,712	)		15.35
Outstanding at June 30, 2006	6,327,307		$	17.22	7.30	$	186,685
Vested and expected to vest at June 30, 2006	6,312,404		$	17.11	7.28	$	186,635
Exercisable at June 30, 2006	3,592,818		$	12.94	6.56	$	121,353

These stock options will terminate ten years after the date on which they were granted. The employee stock options, covered by the Equity Incentive Plan adopted April 7, 1999, vest 25% per year, beginning one year after the grant date. There are 5,353,592 stock options outstanding under this plan. Additionally there are 813,791 employee stock options outstanding which are fully vested. These stock options had vesting terms ranging from six months to one year. Non-employee director stock options vest 33% per year, beginning one year after the grant date. There are 159,924 stock options outstanding under these grants. The vesting of the options will accelerate in the event of death, disability or retirement and may accelerate upon a change of control of CONSOL Energy.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value (the difference between CONSOL Energy’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the six months ended June 30, 2006 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on June 30, 2006. This amount changes based on the fair market value of CONSOL Energy’s stock. Total intrinsic value of options exercised for the three and six

months ended June 30, 2006 was $14,974 and $20,322 respectively. Total pre-tax fair value of options vested was $4,558 and $4,612 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively.

Cash received from option exercises for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was $8,681 and $13,092, respectively. The windfall tax benefit realized for the tax deduction from option exercises totaled $4,576 and $35,796 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. As of June 30, 2006, $31,232 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.13 years.

Under the equity incentive plan, CONSOL Energy granted certain employees restricted stock unit awards. These awards entitle the holder to receive shares of common stock as the award vests. A total of 637,926 restricted stock units were outstanding at June 30, 2006, vesting over a weighted average remaining period of 2.43 years. Compensation expense will be recognized over the vesting period of the units. The following represents the unvested restricted stock units and corresponding fair value (based upon the closing share price) at the date of grant:

	Number of Shares	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested at December 31, 2005	477,572	$	18.46

NOTE 8—ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SECURITIZATION

In April 2003, CONSOL Energy and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries entered into a trade accounts receivable facility with financial institutions for the sale on a continuous basis of eligible trade accounts receivable. CONSOL Energy formed CNX Funding Corporation, a wholly owned, special purpose, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary for the sole purpose of buying and selling eligible trade receivables generated by certain subsidiaries of CONSOL Energy. Under the receivables facility, CONSOL Energy and certain subsidiaries, irrevocably and without recourse, sell all of their eligible trade accounts receivable to financial institutions and their affiliates, while maintaining a subordinated interest in a portion of the pool of trade receivables. CONSOL Energy will continue to service the sold trade receivables for the financial institutions for a fee based upon market rates for similar services.

The receivables facility allows CONSOL Energy to receive, on a revolving basis, up to $125,000. The cost of funds is consistent with commercial paper rates, plus a charge for administrative services paid to the financial institutions. Costs associated with the receivables facility totaled $123 and $253 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. Costs associated with the receivables facility totaled $1,022 and $2,114 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. These costs have been recorded as financing fees, which are included in Cost of Goods Sold and Other Operating Charges in the consolidated statements of income. No servicing asset or liability has been recorded. The receivables facility expires in April 2007.

At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, eligible accounts receivable totaled approximately $112,200 and $116,100, respectively. The subordinated retained interest approximated $112,200 and $116,100 at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. No accounts receivable were removed from the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2006 because CONSOL Energy retained the total eligible accounts receivable. Reductions of $110,000 in the accounts receivable securitization program for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were reflected in cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

The key economic assumptions used to measure the retained interest at the date of securitization for all such sales completed in 2006 were a discount rate of 3.91% and an estimated life for eligible accounts receivables of 32 days. At June 30, 2006, an increase in the discount rate or estimated life of 10% and 20% would have reduced the fair value of the retained interest by $39 and $78, respectively. These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the figures indicate, changes in fair value based on a 10% variation in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in this example, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the subordinated retained interest is calculated without changing any other assumption. Changes in any one factor may result in changes in others.

NOTE 10—DEBT:

CONSOL Energy has a $750,000 revolving credit facility which expires in 2010. The facility is collateralized by liens on substantially all of the assets of CONSOL Energy and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Collateral is shared equally and ratably with the holders of CONSOL Energy’s 7.875% bonds that mature in 2012 and CONSOL Energy’s subsidiary’s 8.25% medium-term notes maturing in 2007. Fees and interest rate spreads are based on a ratio of financial covenant debt to twelve month trailing earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA), measured quarterly. Covenants in the facility limit our ability to dispose of assets, make investments, purchase or redeem CONSOL Energy common stock and merge with another corporation. The facility includes a leverage ratio covenant of not more than 3.25 to 1.00, measured quarterly. The leverage ratio covenant was 0.17 to 1.00 at June 30, 2006. The facility also includes an interest coverage ratio covenant of no less than 4.50 to 1.00, measured quarterly. The interest coverage ratio covenant was 31.83 to 1.00 at June 30, 2006. At June 30, 2006, the $750,000 facility had no borrowings outstanding and $389,556 of letters of credit outstanding, leaving $360,444 of capacity available for borrowings and the issuance of letters of credit.

CNX Gas, an 81.5% subsidiary of CONSOL Energy, also has a $200,000 revolving credit facility that is unsecured, however it does contain a negative pledge provision restricting CNX Gas assets from being used to secure any other obligations. Fees and interest rate spreads are based on the percentage of facility utilization, measured quarterly. Covenants in the facility limit CNX Gas’ ability to dispose of assets, make investments, purchase or redeem CNX Gas stock and merge with another corporation. The facility includes a leverage ratio covenant of not more than 3.0 to 1.0, measured quarterly. The leverage ratio was 0.00 to 1.0 at June��30, 2006. The facility also includes an interest coverage ratio of no less than 3.0 to 1.0 measured quarterly. The interest coverage ratio was met at June 30, 2006. At June 30, 2006, the CNX Gas credit agreement had no borrowings outstanding and $16,847 of letters of credit outstanding, leaving $183,153 of capacity available for borrowings and the issuance of letters of credit.

One of our subsidiaries, Fairmont Supply Company, which distributes industrial supplies, currently is named as a defendant in approximately 25,531 asbestos claims in state courts in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland and Mississippi. Because a very small percentage of products manufactured by third parties and supplied by Fairmont in the past may have contained asbestos and many of the pending claims are part of mass complaints filed by hundreds of plaintiffs against a hundred or more defendants, it has been difficult for Fairmont to determine how many of the cases actually involve valid claims or plaintiffs who were actually exposed to asbestos-containing products supplied by Fairmont. In addition, while Fairmont may be entitled to indemnity or contribution in certain jurisdictions from manufacturers of identified products, the availability of such indemnity or contribution is unclear at this time and, in recent years, some of the manufacturers named as defendants in these actions have sought protection from these claims under bankruptcy laws. Fairmont has no insurance coverage with respect to these asbestos cases. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005, payments by Fairmont with respect to asbestos cases have not been material. Our current estimates related to these asbestos claims, individually and in the aggregate, are immaterial to the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of CONSOL Energy. However, it is reasonably possible that payments in the future with respect to pending or future asbestos cases may be material to the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of CONSOL Energy.

CONSOL Energy is subject to various lawsuits and claims with respect to such matters as personal injury, wrongful death, damage to property, exposure to hazardous substances, governmental regulations including environmental remediation, employment and contract disputes, and other claims and actions arising out of the normal course of business. Our current estimates related to these pending claims, individually and in the aggregate, are immaterial to the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of CONSOL Energy. However, it is reasonably possible that the ultimate liabilities in the future with respect to these lawsuits and claims may be material to the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of CONSOL Energy.

CONSOL Energy was notified in November 2004 by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that it is a potentially responsible party (PRP) under Superfund legislation with respect to the Ward Transformer site in Wake County, North Carolina. At that time, the EPA also identified 38 other PRPs for the Ward Transformer site. On September 16, 2005, EPA, CONSOL Energy and three other PRPs entered into an administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent, requiring those PRPs to undertake and complete a PCB soil removal action, at and in the vicinity of the Ward Transformer property. In December 2005, EPA approved the PRPs’ work plan, and field work began the first week of January 2006. The current estimated cost of remedial action including payment of EPA’s past and future costs, is approximately $20,000. CONSOL Energy’s interim allocation among the participating PRPs is 46%. Accordingly, CONSOL Energy recognized a $9,200 liability, of which $3,000 was recognized prior to December 31, 2005. This liability is included in other accrued liabilities. CONSOL Energy and the other participating PRPs are investigating contribution claims against other, non-participating PRPs, and such claims will be brought to recover a share of the costs incurred. To date, CONSOL Energy’s portion of probable recoveries are estimated to be $5,200. Accordingly, an asset has been included in other assets for these claims. The net cost of the liability and the asset has been included in Cost of Goods Sold and Other Charges. There were $1,626 of costs which were recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2006. No costs were recognized in Cost of Goods Sold and Other Charges for the three months ended June 30, 2006. CONSOL Energy has funded $626 and $1,252 in the three and six month period ended June 30, 2006, respectively, to an independent trust established for this remediation. CONSOL Energy expects the majority of payments related to this liability to be made over the next twelve to eighteen months. In addition, the EPA has advised the PRPs that it is investigating additional areas of potential contamination allegedly related to the Ward Transformer site.

On October 21, 2003 a complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania on behalf of Seth Moorhead against CONSOL Energy, J. Brett Harvey and William J. Lyons. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated under the Exchange Act and that during the period between January 24, 2002 and July 18, 2002 the defendants issued false and misleading statements to the public that failed to disclose or misrepresented the following, among other things that: (a) CONSOL utilized an aggressive approach regarding its spot market sales by reserving 20% of its production to that market, and that by increasing its exposure to the spot market, CONSOL Energy was subjecting itself to increased risk and uncertainty as the price and demand for coal could be volatile; (b) CONSOL Energy was experiencing difficulty selling the production that it had allocated to the spot market, and, nonetheless, CONSOL Energy maintained its production levels which caused its coal inventory to increase; (c) CONSOL Energy’s increasing coal inventory was causing its expenses to rise dramatically, thereby weakening its financial condition; (d) CONSOL Energy’s production problems and costs thereof were also weakening its financial condition; and (e) based on the foregoing, defendants’ positive statements regarding CONSOL Energy’s earnings and prospects were lacking in a reasonable basis at all times and therefore were materially false and misleading. The complaint asks the court to (1) award unspecified damages to plaintiff and (2) award plaintiff reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with this action, including counsel fees and expert fees. It is anticipated that the plaintiff will seek class certification. CONSOL Energy management believes these claims are without merit and have a remote chance of being awarded. Accordingly, we have not accrued any liability associated with these claims.

Yukon Pocahontas Coal Company, Buchanan Coal Company, and Sayers-Pocahontas Coal Company filed an action on March 22, 2004 against one of our subsidiaries, Consolidation Coal Company (“CCC”), which is presently pending in the Circuit Court of Buchanan County, Virginia. The action related to untreated water in connection with mining activities at CCC’s Buchanan Mine being deposited in the void spaces of nearby mines of one of our other subsidiaries, Island Creek Coal Company (“ICCC”). The plaintiffs are seeking to stop CCC from depositing any additional water in these areas, to require CCC to remove the water that is stored there along with any remaining impurities, to recover $300,000 of compensatory and trebled damages and to recover punitive damages. On July 26, 2006, plaintiffs filed a motion to amend the original complaint to assert additional damage claims of $3,252,000 against CCC. The plaintiffs also seek to amend the complaint to add CONSOL Energy, CNX Gas Company, LLC and ICCC as additional defendants and to assert additional damage claims of $150,000 against these defendants. With respect to this action, we believe we had, and continue to have, the right to store water in these areas. The named defendants deny liability and intend to vigorously defend this action; consequently, we have not recognized any liability related to these claims. However, it is reasonably possible that payments in the future, or the issuance of an injunction, with respect to the pending claims may be material to the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of CONSOL Energy.

Levisa Coal Company filed an action on July 10, 2006 against CCC which is presently pending in the U.S. Circuit Court of Buchanan County, Virginia. The action is for injunctive relief and declaratory judgment and seeks a court order prohibiting CCC from depositing water from its Buchanan Mine into the void spaces of ICCC’s VP3 mine, part of which is under lease from Levisa Coal Company. The plaintiff claims the water will adversely affect its remaining coal reserves and coal bed methane production, thereby impacting the plaintiff’s future royalties. We believe that CCC has the right to deposit the water in that void area. CCC intends to vigorously defend this action; consequently, we have not recognized any liability related to this action. However, if an injunction were to be issued, the result may be material to the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of CONSOL Energy.

As previously disclosed, we expensed and paid approximately $28,000 to the Combined Fund for the plan year beginning October 1, 2003 related to a premium differential announced by the Social Security Administration for the past eleven plan years for beneficiaries assigned to CONSOL Energy. The premium differential is the difference between the lower premium rates determined by the National Coal Association v. Chater case and the higher premium rates determined by the Holland v. Barnhart case. Additionally, CONSOL Energy has expensed approximately $2,000 related to the premium differential for the plan year beginning October 1, 2004. In August 2005, a court ruling determined that the UMWA Health and Retirement Funds were illegally charging the premium differential. CONSOL Energy was also assessed an unassigned beneficiary premium increase of approximately $6,000 for the plan years beginning October 1, 2002 and October 1, 2003. We believe the calculation of the unassigned beneficiary premium is not accurate and, therefore, we have not paid this premium. CONSOL Energy has accrued an estimated liability related to this premium. The Combined Fund is protesting the court’s decision. If the courts rule in CONSOL Energy’s favor, the premium differential may be refunded to us and the unassigned beneficiary premium liability may be reduced. However, the legal process is lengthy and its outcome cannot be predicted with certainty. No estimates of refunds have been recorded and no amounts have been received from the UMWA Health and Retirement Funds to date.

On September 16, 2005, CONSOL Energy’s Buchanan Mine, located near Keen Mountain, Virginia, had an accident with its skip hoist, the device that lifts coal from underground to the surface, forcing the mine to suspend coal production. The braking mechanism on the hoist failed to hold a loaded skip at the surface before it could dump its load. The loaded skip fell approximately 1,600 feet back through the shaft to the bottom. Simultaneously, the empty skip was propelled upward to the surface as the loaded skip fell, causing the empty skip to strike the top of the hoist mechanism before also falling back to the shaft bottom. The mine resumed production on December 13, 2005. This accident is covered under our property and business interruption insurance policy, subject to certain deductibles. No insurance recovery for business interruption was received for this incident in the three months ended June 30, 2006. Insurance recovery for business interruption of $21,392 was received for this incident in the six months ended June 30, 2006, and accordingly was recognized as other income. CONSOL Energy is pursuing additional reimbursement from the insurance carriers. There can be no assurance that we will obtain any additional recovery from our insurance carriers.

In February 2005, CONSOL Energy’s Buchanan Mine, experienced a cave-in behind the longwall mining machinery and an ignition of methane gas that started a fire. The mine was evacuated safely and was sealed on February 16, 2005 in order to extinguish any fire by cutting off oxygen to the mine’s underground atmosphere. Costs related to the fire of approximately $23,291 and $36,858, net of recognized insurance recovery, were incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. Costs to CONSOL Energy were primarily reflected in Cost of Goods Sold and Other Charges and Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization on the consolidated statement of income. In the year ended December 31, 2005, CONSOL Energy received $31,585 of insurance proceeds related to this incident. No receivables related to this incident were remaining at December 31, 2005. In the three and six month period ended June 30, 2006, CONSOL Energy recognized $25,015 of insurance proceeds related to this incident in other income. A $7,521 receivable was remaining at June 30, 2006. This receivable was collected in July 2006. CONSOL Energy is pursuing additional reimbursement from the insurance carriers. There can be no assurance that we will obtain any additional recovery from our insurance carriers.

In January 2003, Mine 84, near Washington, Pennsylvania experienced a fire along several hundred feet of the conveyor belt servicing the longwall section of the mine. The fire was extinguished approximately two weeks later. Recognized insurance recovery for damages of approximately $1,034 were reflected in Other Receivables at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. CONSOL Energy received $1,785 of insurance proceeds related to this

incident in the year ended December 31, 2005. CONSOL Energy has filed suit against one of the underwriter insurance carriers for insurance proceeds and bad faith settlement practices.

Certain excise taxes paid on export sales of coal were determined to be unconstitutional. CONSOL Energy filed claims with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) seeking refunds for these excise taxes that were paid during the period 1991 through 1999. Accordingly, CONSOL Energy recognized receivables for these claims in 2001. The IRS completed an audit of our refund claims and confirmed the validity of the claim filed for the period 1994 through 1999. We received the refunds for this portion of the claim in 2003 and 2002. The United States Supreme Court denied review of the refund claim under the Tucker Act, which allows the refunds of taxes for the period 1991 through 1993. CONSOL Energy has a receivable of $26,006, which excludes an interest component, for this portion of the claim classified in Other Assets at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. We also have a payable of $1,914 related to this claim classified in Other Liabilities at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. Litigation has been filed with the Department of Justice regarding interest on the claims for the 1991 through 1993 period. CONSOL Energy believes the refund claim will be collected, although there can be no assurance that we will obtain any interest on the claim.

In 2005, there was a settlement related to the Harmar Environmental Trust (the Trust). The Trust Settlement was due to the court’s decision to terminate a Trust Agreement among CONSOL Energy and other parties. The Trust was established in 1988 to provide funding for water treatment related to the now closed Harmar Mine. Other parties funded the Trust. CONSOL Energy was responsible for completing water treatment activities, but all costs associated with these activities were funded by the Trust. Any excess funding upon completion of water treatment or a specified date in the future were to be distributed to the parties that originally funded the trust. In the decision, all previously funded, but unused, amounts remaining in the Trust were distributed. CONSOL Energy’s portion of the distributed funds, which was $15,000, was placed into an escrow account pending provision of financial assurance supporting CONSOL Energy water treatment obligations. The financial assurances were provided and the money was released to CONSOL Energy subsequent to June 30, 2005. CONSOL Energy recorded the funding and $8,517 for present value of the water treatment liability, resulting in $6,483 of income in the six months ended June 30, 2005.

Environmental financial guarantees have primarily been extended to support various performance bonds related to reclamation and other environmental issues. Gas financial guarantees have primarily been provided to support various performance bonds related to land usage and restorative issues. Other contingent liabilities have been extended to support insurance policies, legal matters and various other items necessary in the normal course of business.

CONSOL Energy and certain of its subsidiaries have also provided guarantees for the delivery of specific quantities of coal and gas to various customers. These guarantees are several or joint and several. Other guarantees have also been provided to promise the full and timely payments to lessors of mining equipment and support various other items necessary in the normal course of business.

NOTE 12—FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

NOTE 15—RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides a model for how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that it has taken or expects to take on a tax return. We are in the process of evaluating the financial impact of adopting FIN 48, which will be effective for us beginning in 2007.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

CONSOL Energy had net income of $106 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $41 million in the 2005 period. Net income for the 2006 period was improved primarily due to increased average sales prices for both coal and gas. Coal unit costs also decreased in the period-to-period comparison improving net income. Decreased coal unit costs were attributable to lower other post employment benefit costs, workers’ compensation costs, salary pension costs, combined fund costs, offset, in part, by higher contract mining fees, higher supply costs and higher labor costs. Net income for 2006 was also improved relative to 2005 due to expenses related to the Buchanan Mine fire that were incurred in the 2005 period. These costs were not incurred in the 2006 period. CONSOL Energy also recognized $25 million of business interruption insurance proceeds in other income related to the Buchanan Mine fire. These increases in net income were offset, in part, by higher gas unit costs. Higher gas unit costs were primarily attributable to increased firm transportation costs and power costs. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2006 also included higher income taxes than the 2005 period due primarily to higher pre-tax earnings.

Total coal sales for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were 17.5 million tons, of which 17.2 million tons were produced by CONSOL Energy operations, consolidated variable interest entities, or sold from inventory of company produced coal. This compares with total coal sales of 17.4 million tons for the three months ended June 30, 2005, of which 17.0 million tons were produced by CONSOL Energy operations, by our equity affiliates or sold from inventory of company-produced coal. Sales of company produced coal increased in the 2006 period due to higher coal production, additional spot coal sales and advancement of 2006 customer commitments.

Produced coalbed methane gas sales volumes, including a percentage of the sales of equity affiliates equal to our interest in these affiliates, increased 21.1% to 13.6 billion cubic feet in the 2006 period compared with 11.3 billion cubic feet in the 2005 period. This increase was primarily due to the 2005 period sales volumes being negatively impacted by the shutdown of Buchanan Mine due to the mine fire. Sales volumes in the 2006 period also increased as a result of additional wells coming online from our on-going drilling program. Our average sales price for coalbed methane gas, including sales of equity affiliates increased 38.8% to $6.83 per thousand cubic feet in the 2006 period compared with $4.92 per thousand cubic feet in the 2005 period. The increase in average sales price is a result of CNX Gas, an 81.5% owned subsidiary, exposing a larger portion of sales volumes to prevailing market prices in the current period compared to the prior period, where a large portion of production was locked in at lower prices than the current period market prices.

On May 4, 2006, CONSOL Energy’s Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock split of the common stock payable on or about May 31, 2006 to shareholders of record on May 15, 2006. The stock split was effected in the form of a stock dividend. This stock split resulted in the issuance of approximately 92.5 million additional shares of common stock. The stock split also resulted in additional shares being available for awards under the CONSOL Energy Inc. Equity Incentive Plan.

Mine accidents involving multiple fatalities occurred earlier this year in West Virginia at mines operated by other coal companies. These accidents attracted widespread public attention and have resulted in both federal government and some state government changes to statutory and regulatory control of mine safety, particularly for underground mines. Because nearly all of our mines are underground, these legislative and regulatory changes could affect our performance.

The actions taken thus far by federal and state governments include requiring: the caching of additional supplies of self-contained self rescuer (SCSR) devices underground; the purchase and installation during the next several years of electronic communication and personal tracking devices underground; the installation, in some states of rescue chambers – structures designed to provide refuge for groups of miners for long periods of time during a mine emergency when evacuation from the mine is not possible; and additional training and testing requirements that are expected to create a need to hire additional employees.

31

In reviewing actions taken to date, we estimate that implementation of these new requirements could cost $10 million to $37 million during the period from now until the end of 2007. The actual costs will depend primarily on: the number of additional SCSR oxygen units purchased; the design requirements as well as the extent of deployment of rescue chambers; final interpretation of other regulatory requirements; and final approval of mine-by-mine implementation plans. Nearly half the estimated additional costs are related to the purchase of additional SCSR oxygen units.

We did not have material expense or cost related to these regulatory requirements during the reporting period. We also are reviewing our coal sales agreements to determine the degree to which costs related to these regulatory requirements may be passed through to customers. While the amount will vary from contract to contract, we believe that some portion of the cost of implementation can be passed to the customer in most of our existing sales agreements.

Net income for the 2006 period was improved primarily due to increased average sales prices for both coal and gas. Coal unit costs also decreased in the period-to-period comparison improving net income. Decreased coal unit costs were attributable to lower other post employment benefit costs, workers’ compensation costs, salary pension costs, combined fund costs, offset, in part, by higher contract mining fees, higher supply costs and higher labor costs. Net income for 2006 was also improved relative to 2005 due to expenses related to the Buchanan Mine fire that were incurred in the 2005 period. These costs were not incurred in the 2006 period. CONSOL

Energy also recognized $25 million of business interruption insurance proceeds in other income related to the Buchanan Mine fire. These increases in net income were offset, in part, by higher gas unit costs. Higher gas unit costs were primarily attributable to higher firm transportation costs and higher power costs. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2006 also included higher income taxes than the 2005 period due primarily to higher pre-tax earnings.

Revenue

Revenue and other income increased due to the following items:

	2006 Period		2005 Period		Dollar Variance			Percentage Change
Sales
Produced Coal (including related party)	$	661	$	606	$	55		9.1%
Purchased Coal		18		17		1		5.9%
Produced Gas		92		55		37		67.3%
Gas Royalty Interest		13		9		4		44.4%
Purchased Gas		10		45		(35	)	(77.8)%
Industrial Supplies		33		22		11		50.0%

Total Sales		846		763		83		10.9%
Freight Revenue (including related party)		38		32		6		18.8%
Other Income		48		22		26		118.2%
Total Revenue and Other Income	$	932	$	817	$	115		14.1%

The increase in company produced coal sales revenue, including related party, during the 2006 period was due mainly to the increase in average sales price per ton.

	2006 Period		2005 Period		Variance		Percentage Change
Produced Tons Sold (in millions)		17.2		17.0		0.2	1.2%
Average Sales Price Per Ton	$	38.40	$	35.66	$	2.74	7.7%

The increase in average sales price primarily reflects stronger prices negotiated in 2005 and early 2006 resulting from an overall improvement in prices in the eastern coal market for domestic and foreign power generators and steel producers. Sales of company produced coal increased in the 2006 period due to higher coal production, additional spot coal sales and advancement of 2006 customer commitments. The 2005 period production and sales volumes were impacted by the Buchanan Mine fire that occurred on February 14, 2005. The mine was temporarily sealed in order to extinguish the fire. Coal production resumed on June 16, 2005.

The increase in company-purchased coal sales revenue was due to higher average sales prices.

	2006 Period		2005 Period		Variance		Percentage Change
Purchased Tons Sold (in millions)		0.3		0.3		—	—
Average Sales Price Per Ton	$	57.22	$	49.62	$	7.60	15.3%

The increase in produced gas sales revenue was primarily due to a higher average sales price per thousand cubic feet and increased volumes sold in the 2006 period compared to the 2005 period.

	2006 Period		2005 Period		Variance		Percentage Change
Produced Gas Sales Volumes (in billion cubic feet)		13.6		11.2		2.4	21.4%
Average Sales Price Per thousand cubic feet (including effects of derivative transactions)	$	6.82	$	4.91	$	1.91	38.9%

33

The increase in average sales price is the result of CNX Gas, an 81.5% owned subsidiary, exposing a larger portion of sales volumes to prevailing market prices in the current period compared to the prior period. The prior period had a large portion of production locked in at lower prices than the current period market prices. Periodically, CNX Gas enters into physical gas supply transactions with both gas marketers and end users for terms varying in length. CNX Gas also enters into various gas swap transactions that qualify as financial cash flow hedges. These gas swap transactions exist parallel to the underlying physical transactions. For the three months ended June 30, 2006, these physical and financial hedges represented approximately 4.6 billion cubic feet of our gas sales volumes at an average price of $7.73 per million cubic feet, compared to approximately 9.8 billion cubic feet at an average price of $4.62 per million cubic feet for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The 2006 period sales volumes were higher than the 2005 period sales volumes. This was due primarily to the 2005 period sales volumes being negatively impacted by the shutdown of Buchanan Mine due to the mine fire. Sales volumes in the 2006 period also increased as a result of additional wells coming online from our on-going drilling program.

	2006 Period		2005 Period		Variance		Percentage Change
Gas Royalty Interest Sales Volumes (in billion cubic feet)		1.9		1.6		0.3	18.8%
Average Sales Price Per Thousand Cubic Feet	$	6.82	$	5.66	$	1.16	20.5%

Included in royalty interest gas sales are the revenues related to the portion of production belonging to royalty interest owners sold, on their behalf, by CNX Gas. The increase in average sales price is the result of CNX Gas exposing a larger portion of sales volumes to prevailing market prices in the current period compared to the prior period, where a large portion of production was locked in at lower prices than the current period market prices.

	2006 Period		2005 Period		Variance		Percentage Change
Purchased Gas Sales Volumes (in billion cubic feet)		1.4		6.4		(5.0)	(78.1)%
Average Sales Price Per thousand cubic feet	$	6.80	$	7.03	$	(0.23)	(3.3)%

Included in purchased gas sales revenue are volumes of gas we simultaneously purchased from and sold to the same counterparties between the segmentation and interruptible pools on the Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation (TCO) pipeline in order to satisfy obligations to certain customers. In accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) on Issue No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent”, we have historically increased our revenues and our costs. However, because of the January 1, 2006 application of EITF Issue No. 04-13, “Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty,” reported purchased gas sales and volumes have decreased. EITF 04-13 requires matching buy/sell transactions, done in contemplation of one another, that were committed to on or after January 1, 2006 to be combined and reflected as transportation expense. The net result of transactions that meet the above criteria are reflected in Costs of Goods Sold and Other Charges as transportation expense in the current year. Additionally, there are some small volumes of gas we purchased from third party producers at market prices, less our gathering charge.

The $11 million increase in revenues from the sale of industrial supplies was primarily due to increased sales volumes and higher average sales prices.

The $10 million increase in other sales was primarily attributable to revenues from river barge towing. CONSOL Energy has an initiative to increase towing revenues for outside parties now that we are no longer restricted under the Jones Act Bowater exemption. Prior to February 2004, foreign ownership of CONSOL Energy exceeded 25%, prohibiting us from providing river barge towing to third parties. In January 2006, CONSOL Energy completed the acquisition of Mon River Towing, which contributed to the increase in revenues.

Freight revenue, outside and related party, is based on weight of coal shipped, negotiated freight rates and method of transportation (i.e., rail, barge, truck, etc.) used for the customers to which CONSOL Energy contractually provides transportation services. Freight revenue is the amount billed to customers for transportation costs incurred.

Other income consists of interest income, gain or loss on the disposition of assets, equity in earnings of affiliates, service income, royalty income, derivative gains and losses, rental income and miscellaneous income.

Buchanan Mine experienced a fire that developed in the mine after a large rock fall behind our longwall mining section on February 14, 2005. The mine was temporarily sealed in order to extinguish the fire. Coal production resumed on June 16, 2005. CONSOL Energy filed an insurance claim for reimbursement of various costs and business interruption related to the fire at Buchanan Mine. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, CONSOL Energy received notice from the insurance companies that $25 million would be paid to CONSOL Energy. The $25 million was recognized as other income, coal segment recognized $21 million and gas segment recognized $4 million. Approximately $17 million of this amount has been received as of June 30, 2006. The remaining $8 million was collected in July 2006. We are pursuing additional recoveries from our insurance carriers related to this incident. There can be no assurance that we will obtain any additional recovery from our insurance carriers related to this claim.

Royalty income was consistent in the period-to-period comparison.

Interest income increased in the period-to-period due to our improved cash position. Cash and cash equivalent balances at June 30, 2006 were $345.3 million compared to $4.7 million at June 30, 2005. The improved cash position was primarily due to the August 2005 sale of 18.5% interest in CNX Gas stock. The private sale of this stock resulted in $420.2 million of proceeds.

The decrease in gain on sale of assets in the 2006 period reflects various transactions that occurred throughout both periods, none of which were individually material.

Other income increased approximately $4 million due to various transactions that occurred throughout both periods, none of which are individually material.

35

Increased cost of goods sold and other charges for company-produced coal was due mainly to an increase in volume of produced coal sold, offset by a decrease in average unit cost per ton sold.

	2006 Period		2005 Period		Variance			Percentage Change
Produced Tons Sold (in millions)		17.2		17.0		0.2		1.2	%
Average Cost of Goods Sold and Other Charges Per Ton	$	23.29	$	23.92	$	(0.63	)	(2.6	)%

Average costs of goods sold and other charges for produced coal decreased in the period-to-period comparison due mainly to lower unit costs. The decrease is attributable to lower other post employment benefit costs, workers’ compensation costs, salary pension costs, combined fund costs, offset, in part, by higher contract mining fees, higher supply costs and higher labor costs. Other post employment benefit costs are lower in the 2006 period compared to the 2005 period due to CONSOL Energy’s 2005 plan amendment removing the election of the Federal Subsidy provision of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Act). Instead, we will coordinate benefits with available Medicare coverage considered the primary payer, whether or not the beneficiary enrolled in the Act. This plan amendment resulted in a reduction of the accumulated projected benefit obligation and will be amortized to earnings. Workers’ compensation expenses have been reduced due to lower state administrative fees charged by the state of West Virginia due to changes in that states’ workers’ compensation program. Salary pension costs have been reduced due to plan amendments which were effective as of January 1, 2006. The plan amendments changed the salary employee benefits that are being earned from January 1, 2006 forward. Pension costs have also been reduced in the period-to-period comparison due to higher expected earnings on plan assets due to additional funding made to the pension trust in the quarter ended September 30, 2005. Unit costs were also improved due to lower combined fund costs as a result of lower monthly premiums. These improvements in unit costs were offset, in part, by higher contract mining fees. Higher contract mining fees were attributable to increased fees negotiated with the contractors used primarily in our central Appalachian operations. Supply costs per ton sold also increased. Higher supply costs were attributable to additional maintenance projects and increased cost for petroleum products and chemicals, such as magnetite, used in the mining and coal preparation process. Supply costs have also increased due to additional costs being incurred related to adoption of new safety regulations, as previously discussed. Increased labor costs were attributable to increased employee counts and increased wages at certain mining operations. Employee counts have been increased in certain locations to maintain development rates ahead of the longwall mining units. New employees have also been added as trainees which will replace skilled employees expected to retire between now and the end of the decade. Increased employee counts are also attributable to maintain underground belt haulage systems and complete additional roof and rib support. Additional roof and rib support requirements have been necessary due to changes in underground geology and mining conditions. Labor rates were increased in order to stay competitive in certain labor markets.

Purchased coal cost of goods sold and other charges increased in the 2006 period compared to the 2005 period.

	2006 Period		2005 Period		Variance		Percentage Change
Purchased Tons Sold (in millions)		0.3		0.3		—	—
Average Cost of Goods Sold and Other Charges Per Ton	$	62.88	$	54.56	$	8.32	15.2	%

The higher average cost of purchased coal is primarily due to overall increases in prices for domestic coals.

Gas cost of goods sold and other charges increased due primarily to an increase of 21.4% in volumes of produced gas sold.

	2006 Period		2005 Period		Variance		Percentage Change
Produced Gas Sales Volumes (in billion cubic feet)		13.6		11.2		2.4	21.4	%
Average Cost Per Thousand Cubic Feet	$	1.94	$	1.77	$	0.17	9.6	%

36

The increase in average cost per thousand cubic feet of gas sold was primarily attributable to firm transportation capacity on the Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation (TCO) pipeline. Firm transportation costs increased approximately $0.22 per thousand cubic feet in the period-to-period comparison. Approximately $0.11 per thousand cubic feet of the firm transportation increase is the result of the application of EITF 04-13, “Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty” as of January 1, 2006. EITF 04-13 requires matching buy/sell transactions, done in contemplation of one another, committed to on or after January 1, 2006 to be combined and reflected as transportation expense. Previously, these transactions were accounted for as purchased gas revenue and purchased gas expense. The other increases in firm transportation per thousand cubic feet were due to additional fees to purchase firm transportation capacity on the TCO interstate pipeline because of potential curtailments on portions of shipment capacity allocated to CNX Gas. The potential curtailments are due to increased demand for pipeline access in the 2006 period. Unit costs also increased due to higher power costs. Power costs per unit were $0.04 per thousand cubic feet higher due to both increased megawatt hour rates charged by the power companies and the conversion of several gas powered compressor stations to electric power after the 2005 period. Produced gas cost of goods sold per unit also increased by $0.07 per thousand cubic feet due to various transactions that occurred throughout both periods, none of which are individually material. These increases in unit costs were offset, in part, by lower well maintenance costs per unit. Maintenance costs per unit decreased $0.16 per thousand cubic feet in the period-to-period comparison. This improvement was due to maintenance projects being accelerated in prior periods. The improvement was also due to efficiencies in the water collection infrastructure being realized subsequent to the improvements that were made in the prior year. Well maintenance costs per unit also decreased due to additional production in the period-to-period comparison.

Average Cost Per Thousand Cubic Feet	$	5.50	$	4.36	$	1.14	26.1	%

Included in royalty interest gas costs are the expenses related to the portion of production belonging to royalty interest owners sold, on their behalf, by CNX Gas. Although average market prices period-to-period are relatively flat, the increase in average cost per unit is the result of CNX Gas exposing a larger portion of sales volumes to prevailing market prices in the current period compared to the prior period, where a large portion of production was locked in at lower prices than the current period market prices.

Included in purchased gas costs are costs related to the volumes of gas we simultaneously purchased from and sold to the same counterparties between the segmentation and interruptible pools on the Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation (TCO) pipeline in order to satisfy obligations to certain customers. In accordance with EITF 99-19, we have historically increased our revenues and our costs. However, because we adopted EITF 04-13 on January 1, 2006, reported purchased gas sales and volumes have decreased. EITF 04-13 requires matching buy/sell transactions, done in contemplation of one another, committed to on or after January 1, 2006 to be combined and reflected as transportation expense as discussed previously. Additionally, there are some small volumes of gas we purchase from third party producers at market prices, less our gathering charge.

Industrial supplies cost of goods sold increased $9 million primarily due to higher sales volumes and unit cost increases.

Closed and idle mine cost of goods sold and other charges increased approximately $10 million in the 2006 period compared to the 2005 period. These expenses increased $8 million due to Shoemaker Mine and VP #8 Mine being idled for the majority of the 2006 period. Shoemaker Mine and VP #8 Mine were in production for the full 2005 period. The increase was also attributable to higher expenses related to mine closing, perpetual care

water treatment and reclamation liability adjustments that were the result of updated engineering surveys. Survey adjustments resulted in $4 million of additional expense in the 2006 period for closed and idled locations compared to the results of the survey adjustment in the 2005 period. Closed and idle mine cost of good sold and other charges were improved $2 million due to various transactions that occurred throughout both periods, none of which were individually material.

CONSOL Energy’s Buchanan Mine, located near Keen Mountain, Virginia, experienced a large rock fall behind its longwall mining section on February 14, 2005. While caving behind the longwall is a normal part of the mining process, the size of this cave-in created a large air pressure wave that disrupted ventilation and also caused an ignition of methane gas in the area. CONSOL Energy temporarily sealed the mine in order to extinguish the fire that developed after the ignition. Various materials, including nitrogen foam and water were pumped into the mine in order to accelerate the process of creating an inert environment within the mine to extinguish the fire. Coal production resumed on June 16, 2005. Costs of goods sold incurred for the Buchanan Mine fire, net of expected insurance recovery, for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were $20 million.

CONSOL Energy has an initiative to increase towing revenues for outside parties now that we are no longer restricted under the Jones Act Bowater exemption. Prior to February 2004, foreign ownership of CONSOL Energy exceeded 25%, prohibiting us from providing river barge towing to third parties. This initiative to increase revenues has also increased costs. In January, 2006, CONSOL Energy completed the acquisition of Mon River Towing, which also contributed to the increase in costs.

Effective January 1, 2006, CONSOL Energy adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R), Stock-based compensation expense now includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006. The grant-date fair value is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term. Prior to implementing SFAS 123R, CONSOL Energy followed previously issued accounting guidance which did not require compensation expense to be recognized for stock option awards. Also, in April 2004, CONSOL Energy began to issue restricted stock units as part of its equity incentive plan. Compensation cost for the restricted stock units is based upon the closing share price at the date of grant and is recognized over the vesting period of the units. The increase in stock-based compensation expense in the 2006 period is also due to additional compensation costs for restricted stock unit grants that occurred in the 2006 period.

Miscellaneous cost of goods sold and other charges increased $3 million due to various miscellaneous transactions that occurred throughout both periods, none of which were individually material.

Freight expense is based on weight of coal shipped, negotiated freight rates and method of transportation (i.e., rail, barge, truck, etc.) used for the customers to whom CONSOL Energy contractually provides transportation. Freight expense is billed to customers and the revenue from such billing equals the transportation expense.

Selling, general and administrative costs have increased due to the following items:

	2006 Period		2005 Period		Dollar Variance		Percentage Change
Professional, consulting and other purchased services	$	6	$	4	$	2	50.0	%
Wages and salaries		8		7		1	14.3	%
Other		8		8		—	—	%
Total Selling, General and Administrative	$	22	$	19	$	3	15.8	%

Costs of professional consulting and other purchased services were higher in the 2006 period compared to the 2005 period primarily due to additional costs related to CNX Gas, an 81.5% subsidiary, being a separate publicly traded company and services provided related to various corporate initiatives.

Wages and salaries have increased in the period-to-period comparison due to additional positions being added related to CNX Gas being a separate publicly traded company.

Other selling, general and administrative cost remained consistent in the period-to-period comparison.

Total Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization	$	74	$	67	$	7	10.4	%

The increase in coal depreciation, depletion and amortization was primarily attributable to assets placed in service after the 2005 period. Assets placed in service after the 2005 period include various airshafts, longwall assets, haulage assets and various other projects completed at our mines.

Gas production depreciation, depletion and amortization increased slightly due to additional volumes being produced in the 2006 period compared to the 2005 period. Gas gathering depreciation, depletion and amortization remained consistent in the period-to-period comparison. Gathering depreciation, depletion and amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis.

Interest expense decreased in the 2006 period compared to the 2005 period.

Total Interest Expense	$	6	$	7	$	(1	)	(14.3	)%

Other interest expense decreased due to higher amounts of interest capitalized in the 2006 period compared to the 2005 period. Higher capitalized interest was attributable to the higher level of capital projects funded from operating cash flow in the 2006 period, primarily due to the slope, overland belt and preparation plant projects at the Robinson Run Mine.

Production taxes:
Coal	$	42	$	35	$	7	20.0	%
Gas		3		2		1	50.0	%

Other		21		19		2	10.5	%
Total Taxes Other Than Income	$	66	$	56	$	10	17.9	%

Increased coal production taxes are primarily due to higher severance taxes and higher black lung excise taxes attributable to higher average sales price and higher production volumes. Severance taxes have also increased due to an additional tax imposed by the state of West Virginia. Under the new West Virginia severance tax rules, an additional $0.56 per ton of coal produced is due to the state.

Increased gas production taxes are primarily due to higher severance taxes attributable to higher average sales price for gas and higher sales volumes.

Other coal taxes and other miscellaneous taxes increased primarily due to capital stock and franchise taxes. Additional capital stock and franchise taxes are attributable to the higher earnings achieved in the year ended December 31, 2005. Other coal taxes also increased due to higher property taxes. Property tax increases are primarily attributable to higher assessments in various counties where our coal property holdings are located.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2005

Net Income

Net income changed primarily due to the following items (table in millions):

Minority Interest		(16	)		—		(16	)	(100.0	)%
Net Income	$	230		$	116	$	114		98.3	%

Net income for the 2006 period was improved primarily due to increased average sales prices for both coal and gas. Net income for 2006 was also improved relative to 2005 due to expenses related to the Buchanan Mine fire that were incurred in the 2005 period. These costs were not incurred in the 2006 period. CONSOL Energy also recognized $46 million of other income related to our business interruption related to the Buchanan Mine fire. These improvements to net income were offset, in part, by higher unit costs for coal and gas in the period-to-period comparison. Increased coal unit costs were attributable to higher supply costs, labor costs, subsidence costs and contract mining fee costs, offset, in part, by lower other post employment benefit costs, workers’ compensation costs, salary pension costs and combined fund costs. Higher gas unit costs were primarily attributable to higher firm transportation costs and power costs. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 also included higher income taxes than the 2005 period due primarily to higher pre-tax earnings.

Revenue

Revenue and other income increased due to the following items:

	2006 Year to Date Period		2005 Year to Date Period		Dollar Variance			Percentage Change
Sales
Produced Coal-Outside and Related Party	$	1,359	$	1,216	$	143		11.8	%

Other Income		89		46		43		93.5	%
Total Revenue and Other Income	$	1,918	$	1,634	$	284		17.4	%

The increase in company produced coal sales revenue, including related party, during the 2006 period was due to the increase in average sales price per ton and increased sales volumes.

	2006 Year to Date Period		2005 Year to Date Period		Variance		Percentage Change
Produced Tons Sold (in millions)		35.0		34.4		0.6	1.7	%
Average Sales Price Per Ton	$	38.86	$	35.34	$	3.52	10.0	%

Increased average sales price primarily reflects stronger prices negotiated in 2005 and early 2006 resulting from an overall improvement in prices in the eastern coal market for domestic and foreign power generators and steel producers. Sales of company produced coal increased in the 2006 period due to higher coal production, additional spot coal sales and advancement of 2006 customer commitments. The 2005 period production and sales volumes were impacted by the Buchanan Mine fire that occurred on February 14, 2005. The mine was temporarily sealed in order to extinguish the fire. Coal production resumed on June 16, 2005.

The increase in company-purchased coal sales revenue was due to the increased average sales price per ton of purchased coal.

	2006 Year to Date Period		2005 Year to Date Period		Variance		Percentage Change
Purchased Tons Sold (in millions)		0.7		0.7		—	—
Average Sales Price Per Ton	$	58.11	$	52.34	$	5.77	11.0	%

Higher average sales prices were primarily due to sales of purchased coal tons being sold in higher priced export and metallurgical markets.

The increase in gas sales revenue was due to a higher average sales price per thousand cubic feet sold and increased volumes in the 2006 period compared to the 2005 period.

	2006 Year to Date Period		2005 Year to Date Period		Variance		Percentage Change
Produced Gas Sales Volumes (in billion cubic feet)		27.0		23.3		3.7	15.9	%
Average Sales Price Per thousand cubic feet (including effects of derivative transactions)	$	7.22	$	5.31	$	1.91	36.0	%

42

The increase in average sales price is the result of CNX Gas, an 81.5% owned subsidiary, exposing a larger portion of sales volumes to prevailing market prices in the current period compared to the prior period. The prior period had a large portion of production locked in at lower prices than the current period market prices. Periodically, CNX Gas enters into physical gas supply transactions with both gas marketers and end users for terms varying in length. CNX Gas also enters into various gas swap transactions that qualify as financial cash flow hedges. These gas swap transactions exist parallel to the underlying physical transactions. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, these physical and financial hedges represented approximately 8.3 billion cubic feet of our gas sales volumes at an average price of $7.35 per million cubic feet, compared to approximately 19.3 billion cubic feet at an average price of $4.94 per million cubic feet for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The 2006 period sales volumes were higher than the 2005 period sales volumes. This was due primarily to the 2005 period sales volumes being negatively impacted by the shutdown of Buchanan Mine due to the mine fire. Sales volumes in the 2006 period also increased as a result of additional wells coming online from our on-going drilling program.

	2006 Year to Date Period		2005 Year to Date Period		Variance		Percentage Change
Gas Royalty Interest Sales Volumes (in billion cubic feet)		3.7		3.4		0.3	8.8	%
Average Sales Price Per thousand cubic feet	$	7.71	$	5.59	$	2.12	37.9	%

Included in royalty interest gas sales are the revenues related to the portion of production belonging to royalty interest owners sold, on their behalf, by CNX Gas. The increase in average sales price is the result of CNX Gas exposing a larger portion of sales volumes to prevailing market prices in the current period compared to the prior period, where a large portion of production was locked in at lower prices than the current period market prices.

	2006 Year to Date Period		2005 Year to Date Period		Variance			Percentage Change
Purchased Gas Sales Volumes (in billion cubic feet)		4.0		10.2		(6.2	)	(60.8	)%
Average Sales Price Per thousand cubic feet (including effects of derivative transactions)	$	8.11	$	6.77	$	1.34		19.8	%

Included in purchased gas sales revenue are volumes of gas we simultaneously purchased from and sold to the same counterparties between the segmentation and interruptible pools on the Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation (TCO) pipeline in order to satisfy obligations to certain customers. In accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) on Issue No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent”, we have historically increased our revenues and our costs. However, because of the January 1, 2006 application of EITF Issue No. 04-13, “Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty”, reported purchased gas sales and volumes have decreased. EITF 04-13 requires matching buy/sell transactions, done in contemplation of one another, committed to on or after January 1, 2006 to be combined and reflected as transportation expense. The net result of transactions that meet the above criteria are reflected in Costs of Goods Sold and Other Charges as transportation expense in the current year. Additionally, there are some small volumes of gas we purchased from third party producers at market prices, less our gathering charge.

The $20 million increase in revenues from the sale of industrial supplies was primarily due to increased sales volumes and higher average sales prices.

The $19 million increase in other sales was primarily attributable to revenues from river barge towing. CONSOL Energy has an initiative to increase towing revenues for outside parties now that we are no longer being restricted under the Jones Act Bowater exemption. Prior to February 2004, foreign ownership of CONSOL Energy exceeded 25%, prohibiting us from providing river barge towing to third parties. In January, 2006, CONSOL Energy completed the acquisition of Mon River Towing, which contributed to the increase in revenues.

43

Freight revenue is based on weight of coal shipped, negotiated freight rates and method of transportation (i.e., rail, barge, truck, etc.) used for the customers to which CONSOL Energy contractually provides transportation services. Freight revenue is the amount billed to customers for transportation costs incurred.

Other income consists of interest income, gain or loss on the disposition of assets, equity in earnings of affiliates, service income, royalty income, rental income and miscellaneous income.

Buchanan Mine experienced a fire that developed in the mine after a large rock fall behind our longwall mining section on February 14, 2005. The mine was temporarily sealed in order to extinguish the fire. Coal production resumed on June 16, 2005. CONSOL Energy filed an insurance claim for reimbursement of various costs and business interruption related to the fire at Buchanan Mine. During the 2006 period, CONSOL Energy received notice from the insurance companies that $25 million would be paid to CONSOL Energy. The $25 million was recognized as other income, coal segment recognized $21 million and gas segment recognized $4 million. Approximately $17 million of this amount has been received as of June 30, 2006. The remaining $8 million was received in July 2006. We are pursuing additional recoveries from our insurance carriers related to this incident. There can be no assurance that we will obtain any additional recovery from our insurance carriers related to this claim. Buchanan Mine also experience a problem with the mine’s skip hoist mechanism on September 16, 2005 which caused the mine to be idled. Repairs to the skip hoist shaft and structures were completed and the mine resumed production on December 13, 2005. In the period ended June 30, 2006, we received an advance for business interruption claims resulting from this incident from the insurance companies. The advance was recognized as other income in the period received. Our final claim related to this incident has not yet been filed with the insurance company. There can be no assurance that we will obtain any additional recovery from our insurance carriers related to this claim.

Interest income increased in the period-to-period comparison due to our improved cash position. Cash and cash equivalent balances at June 30, 2006 were $345.3 million compared to $4.7 million at June 30, 2005. The improved cash position was primarily due to the August 2005 sale of 18.5% interest in CNX Gas stock. The private sale of this stock resulted in $420.2 million of proceeds.

Royalty income has increased due primarily to third parties producing more tonnage from CONSOL Energy owned property in the period-to-period comparison.

The decrease in gain on sale of assets in the 2006 period reflects various transactions that occurred throughout both periods, none of which were individually material.

Other income from the Harmar Environmental Trust (the Trust) Settlement was attributable to the Civil Division of the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County’s decision to terminate a Trust among CONSOL Energy and other parties. The Trust was established in 1988 to provide funding for water treatment related to the now closed Harmar Mine. Other parties funded the Trust. CONSOL Energy was responsible to complete water treatment activities, but all costs associated with these activities were funded by the Trust Agreement. Any excess funding upon completion of water treatment or a specified date in the future was to be distributed to

44

parties that originally funded the trust. In the decision, all previously funded, but unused, amounts remaining in the Trust were distributed. CONSOL Energy’s portion of the distributed funds, $15 million, was placed into an escrow account pending provision of financial assurance supporting CONSOL Energy’s water treatment obligations. CONSOL Energy is responsible for the ongoing water treatment at this facility. CONSOL Energy recorded the funds and the present value of the water treatment liability resulting in $6 million of income in the 2005 period.

The equity income of affiliates in the 2005 period is primarily attributable to CONSOL Energy’s portion of a gain on sale of land by an affiliate. Equity in income of affiliates in the 2006 period was insignificant.

The $4 million increase in other income was due to various transactions that occurred throughout both periods, none of which were individually material.

Other		61		98		(37	)	(37.8	)%
Total Cost of Goods Sold	$	1,150	$	1,137	$	13		1.1	%

Increased cost of goods sold and other charges for company-produced coal were due mainly to a 2.7% increase in cost per ton of produced coal sold and a 1.7% increase in sales volumes.

	2006 Year to Date Period		2005 Year to Date Period		Variance		Percentage Change
Produced Tons Sold (in millions)		35.0		34.4		0.6	1.7	%
Average Cost of Goods Sold and Other Charges Per Ton	$	23.66	$	23.04	$	0.62	2.7	%

Average cost of goods sold and other charges for produced coal increased due mainly to increased unit costs. This increase is attributable to higher supply costs, labor costs, subsidence costs and contract mining fee costs. Higher supply costs were attributable to additional maintenance projects and increased cost for petroleum products and chemicals, such as diesel fuel and magnetite, used in the mining and coal preparation process. Supply costs have also increased due to additional costs being incurred related to adoption of new safety regulations, as previously discussed. Increased labor costs were attributable to increased employee counts and increased wages at certain mining operations. Employee counts have been increased in certain locations to maintain development rates ahead of the longwall mining units. New employees have also been added as trainees which will replace skilled employees expected to retire between now and the end of the decade. Increased employee counts are also attributable to maintain underground belt haulage systems and complete additional roof and rib support. Additional roof and rib support requirements have been necessary due to changes in underground geology and mining conditions. Labor rates were increased in order to stay competitive in certain labor markets. Subsidence costs increased due to the location of mining activities affecting more surface structures in the 2006 period than in the 2005 period. Increased contract mining fees were attributable to increased fees negotiated with the contractors used primarily in our central Appalachian operations. Increased produced coal costs of goods sold was also due to higher sales volumes in the 2006 period compared to the 2005 period. These increases in costs

45

were offset, in part, by lower other post employment benefit costs, workers’ compensation costs, salary pension costs and combined fund costs. Other post employment benefit costs were lower in the 2006 period compared to the 2005 period due to CONSOL Energy’s 2005 plan amendment removing the election of the Federal Subsidy provision of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Act). Instead, we will coordinate benefits with available Medicare coverage considered the primary payer, whether or not the beneficiary enrolled in the Act. This plan amendment resulted in a reduction of the accumulated projected benefit obligation and will be amortized to earnings. Workers’ compensation expenses have been reduced due to lower state administrative fees charged by the state of West Virginia due to changes in that state’s workers’ compensation program. Salary pension costs have been reduced due to plan amendments which were effective as of January 1, 2006. The plan amendments changed the salary employee benefits that are being earned from January 1, 2006 forward. Pension costs have also been reduced in the period-to-period comparison due to higher expected return on plan assets due to additional funding made to the pension trust in the quarter ended September 30, 2005. Unit costs were also improved due to lower combined fund costs as a result of lower monthly premiums.

Purchased coal cost of goods sold and other charges increased in the 2006 period compared to the 2005 period.

	2006 Year to Date Period		2005 Year to Date Period		Variance		Percentage Change
Purchased Tons Sold (in millions)		0.7		0.7		—	—
Average Cost of Goods Sold and Other Charges Per Ton	$	61.85	$	58.07	$	3.78	6.5	%

The higher average cost of purchased coal is primarily due to overall increases in prices for domestic coals.

Produced gas cost of goods sold and other charges increased due to higher unit costs and increased sales volumes.

	2006 Year to Date Period		2005 Year to Date Period		Variance		Percentage Change
Produced Gas Sales Volumes (in billion cubic feet)		27.0		23.3		3.7	15.9	%
Average Cost Per Thousand Cubic Feet	$	1.81	$	1.62	$	0.19	11.7	%

The increase in average cost per thousand cubic feet of gas sold was primarily attributable to firm transportation. Firm transportation costs increased approximately $0.16 per thousand cubic feet in the period-to-period comparison. Approximately $0.08 per thousand cubic feet of the firm transportation increase is the result of the application of EITF 04-13, “Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty” as of January 1, 2006. EITF 04-13 requires matching buy/sell transactions, done in contemplation of one another, committed to on or after January 1, 2006 to be combined and reflected as transportation expense. Previously, these transactions were accounted for as purchased gas revenue and purchased gas expense. Approximately $0.08 per thousand cubic feet of the increase in firm transportation was due to additional fees to purchase firm transportation capacity on the TCO interstate pipeline because of potential curtailments on portions of shipment capacity allocated to CNX Gas. The potential curtailments are due to increased demand for pipeline access in the 2006 period. Unit costs also increased due to higher power costs. Power costs per unit were $0.05 per thousand cubic feet higher due to both increased megawatt hour rates charged by the power company and the conversion of several gas powered compressor stations to electric power after the 2005 period. Produced gas cost of goods sold per unit also increased by $0.03 per thousand cubic feet due to various transactions that occurred throughout both periods, none of which are individually material. These increases in unit costs were offset, in part, by lower well maintenance costs per unit. Maintenance costs per unit decreased $0.05 per thousand cubic feet in the period-to-period comparison. This improvement was due to maintenance projects being accelerated in prior periods. The improvement was also due to efficiencies in the water collection infrastructure being realized subsequent to the improvements that were made in the prior year. Well maintenance costs per unit also decreased due to additional production in the period-to-period comparison.

Included in royalty interest gas costs are the expenses related to the portion of production belonging to royalty interest owners sold, on their behalf, by CNX Gas. Although average market prices period-to-period are relatively flat, the increase in average cost per unit is the result of CNX Gas exposing a larger portion of sales volumes to prevailing market prices in the current period compared to the prior period, where a large portion of production was locked in at lower prices than the current period market prices. Volumes increased as a result of additional wells coming online from our on-going drilling program.

In connection with the purchase of firm transportation capacity on the TCO pipeline, we simultaneously purchased gas from and sold gas to the same counterparties between the segmentation and interruptible pools on the TCO pipeline in order to satisfy obligations to certain customers. In accordance with EITF 99-19, we have historically increased our revenues and our costs. However, because we adopted EITF 04-13 on January 1, 2006, reported purchased gas sales and volumes have decreased. EITF 04-13 requires matching buy/sell transactions, done in contemplation of one another, committed to on or after January 1, 2006 to be combined and reflected as transportation expense as discussed previously.

Industrial supplies cost of goods sold increased $14 million primarily due to higher sales volumes and higher unit costs.

Closed and idle mine cost of goods sold increased $15 million in the 2006 period compared to the 2005 period. These expenses increased $8 million due to Shoemaker Mine and VP #8 Mine being shut down for approximately three months of the 2006 period. Shoemaker Mine and VP #8 Mine were in production for the full 2005 period. The increase was also attributable to higher expenses related to mine closing, perpetual care water treatment and reclamation liability adjustments that were the result of updated engineering surveys. Survey adjustments resulted in $4 million of additional expense in the 2006 period for closed and idled locations compared to the results of the survey adjustment in the 2005 period. Closed and idle mine cost of good sold and other charges also increased $3 million due to various transactions that occurred throughout both periods, none of which were individually material.

Miscellaneous cost of goods sold and other charges decreased due to the following items:

CONSOL Energy’s Buchanan Mine, located near Keen Mountain, Virginia, experienced a large rock fall behind its longwall mining section on February 14, 2005. While caving behind the longwall is a normal part of the mining process, the size of this cave-in created a large air pressure wave that disrupted ventilation and also caused an ignition of methane gas in the area. CONSOL Energy temporarily sealed the mine in order to extinguish the fire that developed after the ignition. Various materials, including nitrogen foam and water were pumped into the mine in order to accelerate the process of creating an inert environment within the mine to extinguish the fire. Coal production resumed on June 16, 2005. Costs of goods sold incurred for the Buchanan Mine fire, net of expected insurance recovery, for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $32 million.

In the 2005 period, agreements were made to buy out sales contracts with several customers in order to release tons committed under lower priced contracts for sale to other customers at higher pricing. No such agreements were made in the 2006 period.

Bank fees decreased primarily due to no borrowings on our credit facility being made throughout the 2006 period.

Incentive compensation expense decreased due mainly to the level of earnings achieved in the 2006 period compared to projected 2006 annual earnings, compared to the level of earnings achieved in the 2005 period compared to projected 2005 annual earnings. The incentive compensation program is designed to increase compensation to eligible employees when CONSOL Energy reaches predetermined earnings targets and the employees reach predetermined performance targets.

CONSOL Energy has an initiative to increase towing revenues for outside parties now that we are no longer restricted under the Jones Act Bowater exemption. Prior to February 2004, foreign ownership of CONSOL Energy exceeded 25%, prohibiting us from providing river barge towing to third parties. This initiative to increase revenues has also increased costs. In January, 2006, CONSOL Energy completed the acquisition of Mon River Towing, which also contributed to the increase in costs.

Effective January 1, 2006, CONSOL Energy adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R), Stock-based compensation expense now includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006. The grant-date fair value is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the option vesting term. Prior to implementing SFAS 123R, CONSOL Energy followed previously issued accounting guidance which did not require compensation expense to be recognized for stock options award. Also, in April 2004, CONSOL Energy began to issue restricted stock units as part of its equity incentive plan. Compensation cost for the restricted stock units is based upon the closing share price at the date of grant and is recognized over the vesting period of the units. The increase in stock-based compensation expense in the 2006 period is also due to additional compensation costs for restricted stock unit grants that occurred in the 2006 period.

Miscellaneous cost of goods sold and other charges increased $2 million due to various miscellaneous transactions that occurred throughout both periods, none of which were individually material.

Freight expense is based on weight of coal shipped, negotiated freight rates and method of transportation (i.e., rail, barge, truck, etc.) used for the customers to whom CONSOL Energy contractually provides transportation. Freight expense is billed to customers and the revenue from such billing equals the transportation expense.

	2006 Year to Date Period		2005 Year to Date Period		Dollar Variance		Percentage Change
Freight expense	$	75	$	62	$	13	21.0	%

Selling, general and administrative costs have increased due to the following items:

	2006 Year to Date Period		2005 Year to Date Period		Dollar Variance			Percentage Change
Professional, consulting and other purchased services	$	11	$	6	$	5		83.3	%
Wages and salaries		16		13		3		23.1	%
Other		15		16		(1	)	(6.3	)%
Total Selling, General And Administrative	$	42	$	35	$	7		20.0	%

Costs of professional, consulting and other purchased services were higher in the 2006 period compared to the 2005 period primarily due to additional costs related to CNX Gas, an 81.5% subsidiary, being a separate publicly traded company and to services provided for various corporate initiatives.

Wages and salaries have increased in the period-to-period comparison due to additional positions being added related to CNX Gas being a separate publicly traded company.

Other selling, general and administrative costs decreased approximately $1 million primarily due to lower other post employment benefit costs. Other post employment benefit costs were lower in the 2006 period compared to the 2005 period due to CONSOL Energy’s 2005 plan amendment removing the election of the Federal Subsidy provision of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Act). Instead, we will coordinate benefits with available Medicare coverage considered the primary payer, whether or not the beneficiary enrolled in the Act. This plan amendment resulted in a reduction of the accumulated projected benefit obligation and is being amortized to earnings.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization increased due to the following items:

	2006 Year to Date Period		2005 Year to Date Period		Dollar Variance		Percentage Change
Coal	$	120	$	106	$	14	13.2	%
Gas:
Production		12		11		1	9.1	%
Gathering		6		6		—	—
Total Gas		18		17		1	5.9	%
Other		8		7		1	14.3	%
Total Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization	$	146	$	130	$	16	12.3	%

The increase in coal depreciation, depletion and amortization was primarily attributable to assets placed in service after the 2005 period. Assets placed in service after the 2005 period include various airshafts, longwall assets, haulage assets and various other projects completed at our mines.

Gas production depreciation, depletion and amortization increased slightly in the period-to- period comparison primarily due to additional volumes produced. Gas gathering depreciation, depletion and amortization remained consistent in the period-to-period. Gathering depreciation, depletion and amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis.

Other depreciation increased $1 million in the 2006 period primarily due to the January 2006, acquisition of Mon River Towing.

49

Interest expense decreased in the 2006 period compared to the 2005 period.

	2006 Year to Date Period		2005 Year to Date Period		Dollar Variance			Percentage Change
12 year and 15 year secured notes	$	12	$	12	$	—		—
Other		—		2		(2	)	(100.0	)%
Total Interest Expense	$	12	$	14	$	(2	)	(14.3	)%

Other interest expense decreased due to higher amounts of interest capitalized in the 2006 period compared to the 2005 period. Higher capitalized interest was attributable to the higher level of capital projects funded from operating cash flow in the 2006 period, primarily due to the slope, overland belt and preparation plant projects at the Robinson Run Mine.

Taxes other than income increased primarily due to the following items:

	2006 Year to Date Period		2005 Year to Date Period		Dollar Variance		Percentage Change
Production taxes:
Coal	$	86	$	71	$	15	21.1	%
Gas		6		4		2	50.0	%
Total Production Taxes		92		75		17	22.7	%
Other taxes:
Coal		38		35		3	8.6	%
Gas		2		2		—	—
Other		6		4		2	50.0	%
Other		46		41		5	12.2	%
Total Taxes Other Than Income	$	138	$	116	$	22	19.0	%

Increased coal production taxes are primarily due to higher severance taxes and higher black lung excise taxes attributable to higher average sales price and to higher coal volumes. Severance taxes have also increased due to an additional tax imposed by the state of West Virginia. Under the new West Virginia severance tax rules, an additional $0.56 per ton of coal produced is due to the state.

Increased gas production taxes are primarily due to higher severance taxes attributable to higher average sales price for gas and higher sales volumes.

Other coal taxes and other miscellaneous taxes increased primarily due to capital stock and franchise taxes. Additional capital stock and franchise taxes are attributable to the higher earnings achieved in the year ended December 31, 2005. Other coal taxes also increased due to higher property taxes. Property tax increases are primarily attributable to higher assessments in various counties where our coal holdings are located.

Income Taxes

	2006 Year to Date Period			2005 Year to Date Period			Variance			Percentage Change
Earnings Before Income Taxes and Minority Interest	$	355		$	140		$	215		153.6	%
Tax Expense (Benefit)		109			24			85		354.2	%
Effective Income Tax Rate		30.7	%		17.2	%		13.5	%

50

CONSOL Energy’s effective tax rate is sensitive to changes to the relationship between pre-tax earnings and percentage depletion. See “Note 6—Income Taxes” in Item 1, Condensed Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q.

Minority interest represents 18.5% of CNX Gas net income which CONSOL Energy does not own.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

CONSOL Energy generally has satisfied our working capital requirements and funded our capital expenditures and debt service obligations from cash generated from operations and proceeds from borrowings. We utilize a $750 million revolving credit facility which expires in 2010. The facility is collateralized by liens on substantially all of the assets of CONSOL Energy and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Collateral is shared equally and ratably with the holders of CONSOL Energy’s 7.875% bonds that mature in 2012 and CONSOL Energy’s subsidiary’s 8.25% medium-term notes maturing in 2007. Fees and interest rate spreads are based on a ratio of financial covenant debt to twelve month trailing earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). Covenants in the facility limit our ability to dispose of assets, make investments, purchase or redeem CONSOL Energy common stock and merge with another corporation. The facility includes a leverage ratio covenant of not more than 3.25 to 1.00, measured quarterly. This ratio was 0.17 to 1.00 at June 30, 2006. The facility also includes an interest coverage ratio covenant of no less than 4.50 to 1.00, measured quarterly. This ratio was 31.83 to 1.00 at June 30, 2006. At June 30, 2006, this facility had approximately $390 million letters of credit issued and had no outstanding borrowings, leaving approximately $360 million of unused capacity.

On October 7, 2005, CNX Gas, an 81.5% controlled and consolidated subsidiary of CONSOL Energy, entered into a credit agreement with a group of commercial lenders. The credit agreement provides for a revolving credit facility providing an initial aggregate outstanding principal amount of up to $200 million, including borrowings and letters of credit. CNX Gas also has the ability to request an increase in aggregate outstanding principal amount of up to $300 million, including borrowings and letters of credit. This facility includes a leverage ratio covenant of not more than 3.00 to 1.00, measured quarterly. This ratio was 0.00 to 1.00 at June 30, 2006. The facility also includes an interest coverage ratio covenant of no less than 3.00 to 1.00, measured quarterly. This ratio was met at June 30, 2006. At June 30, 2006, this facility had approximately $17 million letters of credit issued and had no outstanding borrowings, leaving approximately $183 million of unused capacity. As a result of entering into the new credit agreement, CNX Gas and their subsidiaries executed a Supplemental Indenture and as of October 21, 2005 are also guarantors of CONSOL Energy’s 7.875% bonds.

CONSOL Energy and certain of our U.S. subsidiaries also participate in a receivables securitization facility for the sale on a continuous basis of eligible trade accounts receivable that will provide, on a revolving basis, up to $125.0 million of short-term funding. CONSOL Energy formed CNX Funding Corporation, a wholly owned, special purpose, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary, for the sole purpose of buying and selling eligible trade receivables generated by certain subsidiaries of CONSOL Energy. Under the receivables facility, CONSOL Energy and certain subsidiaries, irrevocably and without recourse, sell all of their eligible trade accounts receivable to CNX Funding Corporation. CNX Funding Corporation then sells, on a revolving basis, an undivided percentage interest in the pool of eligible trade accounts receivable to financial institutions and their affiliates, while maintaining a subordinated interest in a portion of the trade receivables. CONSOL Energy has agreed to continue servicing the sold receivables for the financial institutions for a fee based upon market rates for similar services. The cost of funds is consistent with commercial paper rates plus a charge for administrative services paid to the financial institution. The receivables facility expires in April 2007. No accounts receivable were removed from the consolidated balance sheet related to this facility during the six months ended June 30, 2006 as all eligible accounts receivables have been retained.

CONSOL Energy believes that cash generated from operations and our borrowing capacity will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements, anticipated capital expenditures (other than major acquisitions), scheduled debt payments, anticipated dividend payments and to provide required letters of credit. Nevertheless, the ability of CONSOL Energy to satisfy our working capital requirements, debt service obligations, to fund

51

planned capital expenditures or pay dividends will depend upon future operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions in the coal and gas industries and other financial and business factors, some of which are beyond CONSOL Energy’s control.

In order to manage the market risk exposure of volatile natural gas prices in the future, CONSOL Energy enters into various physical gas supply transactions with both gas marketers and end users for terms varying in length. CONSOL Energy has also entered into various gas swap transactions that qualify as financial cash flow hedges, which exist parallel to the underlying physical transactions. The fair value of these contracts was a loss of $15.0 million (net of $8.9 million of deferred tax) at June 30, 2006. The ineffective portion of the changes in the fair value of these contracts was insignificant to earnings in the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.

CONSOL Energy frequently evaluates potential acquisitions. CONSOL Energy has funded acquisitions primarily with cash generated from operations and a variety of other sources, depending on the size of the transaction, including debt financing. There can be no assurance that additional capital resources, including debt financing, will be available to CONSOL Energy on terms which CONSOL Energy finds acceptable, or at all.

Cash Flows (in millions)

	2006			2005			Change
Cash flows from operating activities	$	349		$	157		$	192
Cash used in investing activities	$	(284	)	$	(153	)	$	(131	)
Cash used in financing activities	$	(61	)	$	(6	)	$	(55	)

Cash flows from operating activities have increased primarily due to the following items:

• Operating cash flows improved $114 million due to increases in net income, as previously discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

• Operating cash flows were lower in the 2005 period due to $110 million repaid under the accounts receivable securitization program during the six months ended June 30, 2005. The accounts receivable securitization program had no activity during the six months ended June 30, 2006.

• Operating cash flows were lower by approximately $29 million due to coal inventories. Coal inventories increased 1.1 million tons in the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to an increase of 0.2 million tons in the six months ended June 30, 2005.

• Operating cash flows also fluctuated due to various changes in operating assets, operating liabilities, other assets and other liabilities which occurred throughout both periods.

Net cash used in investing activities changed primarily due to the following items:

• Capital expenditures were $294 million in the 2006 period compared to $170 million in the 2005 period. Capital expenditures were higher in 2006 primarily due to work being completed on the slope, overland belt and new preparation plant at our Robinson Run Mine, our enhanced gas well drilling program and various other projects being completed.

• In January 2006, CONSOL Energy, through a subsidiary, completed the acquisition of Mon River Towing and J.A.R. Barge Lines, LLC, from The Guttman Group for a cash payment of approximately $25 million, as discussed previously.

• Proceeds from the sale of assets were $39 million in the 2006 period compared to $29 million in the 2005 period. Proceeds in the 2006 period are primarily related to the sale and subsequent lease back of longwall mining equipment. The lease has been reported as a capital lease, and accordingly a liability for the present value of the lease payments has been recognized. Proceeds in the 2005 period are related to the sale and subsequent lease back of the corporate office building. Both periods also include proceeds related to the sale of various properties held by CONSOL Energy.

52

Net cash used in financing activities changed primarily due to the following items:

• In the 2006 period, approximately $84 million of CONSOL Energy stock was repurchased under the share repurchase program that was approved in December 2005. As of June 30, 2006, we have repurchased 2,549,800 shares at an average price of $32.78 under this program.

• $13 million of stock was issued in the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $21 million issued in the six months ended June 30, 2005. Stock issuances in both periods were a result of stock option exercises.

• In the 2005 period, approximately $2 million was paid on outstanding borrowings from the revolving credit facility.

• Due to the implementation of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) No. 123(R) “Share-Based Payment”, $36 million of cash retained as a result of the tax deductibility of increases in the value of equity instruments issued under share-based payment arrangements that are not included in the cost of goods sold on the financial statements were included as a financing activity in the 2006 period. In previous periods, in accordance with accounting standards in effect at the time, these transactions were recognized as operating cash flow.

The following is a summary of our significant contractual obligations at June 30, 2006 (in thousands):

Payments due by Year

	Within 1 Year		1–3 Years		3-5 Years		After 5 Years		Total
Short-Term Notes Payable	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—
Gas Firm Transportation Obligation		3,431		6,772		5,843		3,606		19,652
Purchase Order Firm Commitments		68,300		—		—		—		68,300
Long-Term Debt		50,360		9,486		39,541		345,834		445,221
Capital Lease Obligations (a)		13,436		26,633		27,061		36,978		104,108
Operating Lease Obligations		39,430		75,578		41,667		24,380		181,055
Other Long-Term Liabilities (b)		383,657		489,597		458,684		1,711,736		3,043,674
Total Contractual Obligations	$	558,614	$	608,066	$	572,796	$	2,122,534	$	3,862,010

(a) We expect to create gas transportation alternatives through certain transportation agreements with a second interstate pipeline operator, East Tennessee, a subsidiary of Duke Energy. These agreements require the construction by East Tennessee, of an approximately 32-mile lateral pipeline to our gas field in Virginia from ETNG. Called Jewel Ridge, this proposed lateral pipeline currently is under permit review by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and is expected to be in service in the second half of 2006. In connection with the construction of the Jewell Ridge lateral, we will enter into a 15 year firm transportation agreement with East Tennessee at pre-determined fixed rates. We anticipate that the present value of our payments under this firm transportation agreement will be approximately $67 million. In addition to providing us with transportation flexibility, the Jewell Ridge lateral will provide access for our product to alternate and growing natural gas markets in the southeastern United States.

(b) Long-term liabilities include other post-employment benefits, work-related injuries and illnesses, defined benefit pension plans, mine reclamation and closure, and other long-term liability costs. CONSOL Energy’s defined benefit pension plan for salaried employees allows such employees to receive a lump-sum distribution in lieu of annual payments when they retire from CONSOL Energy. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 88, “Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans for the Terminations Benefits”, requires that if the lump-sum distributions made for a plan year, which for CONSOL Energy is October 1 to September 30, exceed the total of the service cost and interest cost for the plan year, CONSOL Energy would need to recognize for that year’s results of operations an adjustment equaling the unrecognized actuarial gain or loss resulting from each individual who received a lump sum in that year. If lump sum payments exceed the total of the service cost and the interest cost, the adjustment could materially reduce operating results.

53

Debt

At June 30, 2006, CONSOL Energy had total long-term debt of $481 million outstanding, including current portion of long-term debt of $57 million. This long-term debt consisted of:

• An aggregate principal amount of $249 million of 7.875% notes ($250 million of 7.875% notes due in 2012, net of $1 million unamortized debt discount). The notes were issued at 99.174% of the principal amount. Interest on the notes is payable March 1 and September 1 of each year. Payment of the principal and premium, if any, and interest on the notes are guaranteed by most of CONSOL Energy’s subsidiaries. The notes are senior secured obligations and rank equally with all other secured indebtedness of the guarantors;

• An aggregate principal amount of $45 million of secured notes which bear interest at fixed rates of 8.25% per annum and are due in 2007;

• An aggregate principal amount of $103 million of two series of industrial revenue bonds which were issued to finance the Baltimore port facility and bear interest at 6.50% per annum and mature in 2010 and 2011;

• $33 million in advance royalty commitments with an average interest rate of 6.978% per annum;

• An aggregate principal amount of $14 million on a variable rate note that bears interest at the prime rate, or 8.25% at June 30, 2006. This note was incurred by a variable interest entity that is fully consolidated in which CONSOL Energy holds a 49% ownership interest;

• An aggregate principal amount of $37 million of capital leases with an interest rate of 6.53% per annum.

At June 30, 2006, CONSOL Energy had no aggregate principal amounts of borrowings and approximately $390 million of letters of credit outstanding under the revolving credit facility.

At June 30, 2006, CNX Gas, an 81.5% subsidiary, had no aggregate principal amounts of borrowings and approximately $17 million of letters of credit outstanding under their revolving credit facility.

Stockholders’ Equity and Dividends

CONSOL Energy had stockholders’ equity of $1,219 million at June 30, 2006 and $1,025 million at December 31, 2005. The increase is primarily attributable to net income for the six months ended June 30, 2006, comprehensive income that has been recognized related to various cash flow hedges, and the tax benefit associated with stock-based compensation awards. This increase was partially offset by repurchases under the CONSOL Energy share repurchase program and the payment of dividends during the six months ended June 30, 2006. See Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.

In December 2005, CONSOL Energy announced that we would begin a share repurchase program of up to $300 million of the company’s common stock during a 24-month period beginning January 1, 2006 and ending December 31, 2007. As of June 30, 2006, we have repurchased 2,549,800 shares at an average price of $32.78 under this program.

On May 4, 2006, CONSOL Energy’s Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock split of the common stock payable on or about May 31, 2006 to shareholders of record on May 15, 2006. The stock split was effected in the form of a stock dividend. This stock split resulted in the issuance of approximately 92.5 million additional shares of common stock and was accounted for by the transfer of approximately $925 thousand from capital in excess of par value to common stock. The stock split also resulted in additional shares available for awards under the CONSOL Energy Inc. Equity Incentive Plan.

54

Dividend information for the current year to date is as follows:

Declaration Date	Amount Per Share			Record Date	Payment Date
July 28, 2006	$	0.07		August 10, 2006	August 28, 2006
April 28, 2006	$	0.14	(a)	May 9, 2006	May 30, 2006
January 27, 2006	$	0.14	(a)	February 9, 2006	February 24, 2006

(a) Amount represents a pre-stock split dividend amount declared by CONSOL Energy’s Board of Directors.

CONSOL Energy’s credit facility does not permit dividend payments in the event of a default. The limitation on paying cash dividends up to $0.56 per share per fiscal year will not apply if the leverage ratio covenant is 1.00 to 1.00 or less. This ratio was 0.17 to 1.00 at June 30, 2006.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

CONSOL Energy does not maintain any off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or others that are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on CONSOL Energy’s condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources which are not disclosed in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides a model for how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that it has taken or expects to take on a tax return. We are in the process of evaluating the financial impact of adopting FIN 48, which will be effective for us beginning in 2007.

Forward-Looking Statements

Various statements in this release, including those that express a belief, expectation, or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements may include projections and estimates concerning the timing and success of specific projects and our future production, revenues, income and capital spending. When we use the words “believe,” “intend,” “expect,” “may,” “should,” “anticipate,” “could,” “estimate,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” or their negatives, or other similar expressions, the statements which include those words are usually forward-looking statements. When we describe strategy that involves risks or uncertainties, we are making forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this release speak only as of the date of this release; we disclaim any obligation to update these statements unless required by securities law, and we caution you not to rely on them unduly. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. These risks, uncertainties and contingencies include, but are not limited to, the following:

• the disruption of rail, barge and other systems that deliver our coal, or pipeline systems which deliver our gas;

• our inability to hire qualified people to meet replacement or expansion needs;

• the risks inherent in coal mining being subject to unexpected disruptions, including geological conditions, equipment failure, timing of completion of significant construction or repair of equipment, fires, accidents and weather conditions which could cause our results to deteriorate;

• uncertainties in estimating our economically recoverable coal and gas reserves;

• risks in exploring for and producing gas;

• obtaining governmental permits and approvals for our operations;

• a loss of our competitive position because of the competitive nature of the coal industry and the gas industry, or a loss of our competitive position because of overcapacity in these industries impairing our profitability;

• an extended decline in prices we receive for our coal and gas affecting our operating results and cash flows;

55

• a decrease in the production of our metallurgical coal or a decrease in the price of metallurgical coal could impact our profitability;

• the inability to produce a sufficient amount of coal to fulfill our customers’ requirements which could result in our customers initiating claims against us;

• replacing our natural gas reserves which if not replaced will cause our gas reserves and gas production to decline;

• costs associated with perfecting title for gas rights in some of our properties;

• we need to use unproven technologies to extract coalbed methane on some of our properties;

• location of a vast majority of our gas producing properties in two counties in southwestern Virginia, making us vulnerable to risks associated with having our gas production concentrated in one area;

• we do not insure against all potential operating risks;

• other persons could have ownership rights in our advanced gas extraction techniques which could force us to cease using those techniques or pay royalties;

• reliance on customers extending existing contracts or entering into new long-term contracts for coal;

• reliance on major customers;

• our inability to collect payments from customers if their creditworthiness declines;

• coal users switching to other fuels in order to comply with various environmental standards related to coal combustion;

• the effects of government regulation;

• the effects of mine closing, reclamation and certain other liabilities;

• the coalbeds from which we produce methane gas frequently contain water that may hamper production;

• increased exposure to employee related long-term liabilities;

• our participation in multi-employer pension plans may expose us to obligations beyond the obligation to our employees;

• lump sum payments made to retiring salaried employees pursuant to our defined benefit pension plan;

• the outcome of various asbestos litigation cases;

• our ability to comply with laws or regulations requiring that we obtain surety bonds for workers’ compensation and other statutory requirements;

• the anti-takeover effects of our rights plan could prevent a change of control; and

• other factors discussed in our 2005 Form 10-K under “Risk Factors,” which is on file at the Securities and Exchange Commission.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

In addition to the risks inherent in operations, CONSOL Energy is exposed to financial, market, political and economic risks. The following discussion provides additional detail regarding CONSOL Energy’s exposure to the risks of changing natural gas prices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates.

CONSOL Energy is exposed to market price risk in the normal course of selling natural gas production and to a lesser extent in the sale of coal. CONSOL Energy sells coal under both short-term and long-term contracts with fixed price and/or indexed price contracts that reflect market value. CONSOL Energy uses fixed-price contracts, collar-price contracts and derivative commodity instruments that qualify as cash-flow hedges under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 to minimize exposure to market price volatility in the sale of natural gas. Our risk management policy strictly prohibits the use of derivatives for speculative positions.

56

CONSOL Energy has established risk management policies and procedures to strengthen the internal control environment of the marketing of commodities produced from its asset base. All of the derivative instruments are held for purposes other than trading. They are used primarily to mitigate uncertainty and volatility and cover underlying exposures. CONSOL Energy’s market risk strategy incorporates fundamental risk management tools to assess market price risk and establish a framework in which management can maintain a portfolio of transactions within pre-defined risk parameters.

CONSOL Energy believes that the use of derivative instruments along with the risk assessment procedures and internal controls does not expose CONSOL Energy to material risk. The use of derivative instruments could materially affect CONSOL Energy’s results of operations depending on interest rates, exchange rates or market prices. However, we believe that use of these instruments will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or liquidity.

For a summary of accounting policies related to derivative instruments, see Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

Sensitivity analyses of the incremental effects on pre-tax income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 of a hypothetical 10 percent and 25 percent change in natural gas prices for open derivative instruments as of June 30, 2006 are provided in the following table:

	Incremental Decrease in Pre-tax Income Assuming a Hypothetical Price, Exchange Rate or Interest Rate Change of:
	10%		25%
	(in millions)
Natural Gas (a)	$	20.0	$	46.9

(a) CONSOL Energy remains at risk for possible changes in the market value of these derivative instruments; however, such risk should be mitigated by price changes in the underlying hedged item. The effect of this offset is not reflected in the sensitivity analyses. CONSOL Energy entered into derivative instruments to convert the market prices related portions of the 2006 through 2008 anticipated sales of natural gas to fixed prices. The fair value of these contracts was a loss of $15.0 million (net of $8.9 million of deferred tax) at June 30, 2006. We continually evaluate the portfolio of derivative commodity instruments and adjust the strategy to anticipated market conditions and risks accordingly.

CONSOL Energy is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by counterparties. The credit worthiness of counterparties is subject to continuing review.

CONSOL Energy’s interest expense is sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates in the United States. At June 30, 2006, CONSOL Energy had $467 million aggregate principal amount of debt outstanding under fixed-rate instruments and $14 million aggregate principal amount of debt outstanding under variable-rate instruments. CONSOL Energy’s primary exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to our revolving credit facility, under which there were no borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2006. Due to the level of borrowings against this facility in the six months ended June 30, 2006, a 100 basis-point increase in the average rate for CONSOL Energy’s revolving credit facility would not have significantly decreased net income for the period.

Almost all of CONSOL Energy’s transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars, and, as a result, it does not have material exposure to currency exchange-rate risks.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures. CONSOL Energy, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including CONSOL Energy’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, CONSOL Energy’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2006 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by CONSOL Energy in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by CONSOL Energy in such reports is accumulated and communicated to CONSOL Energy’s management, including CONSOL Energy’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal controls over financial reporting. There were no changes that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

(Dollars in thousands)

One of our subsidiaries, Fairmont Supply Company, which distributes industrial supplies, currently is named as a defendant in approximately 25,531 asbestos claims in state courts in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland and Mississippi. Because a very small percentage of products manufactured by third parties and supplied by Fairmont in the past may have contained asbestos and many of the pending claims are part of mass complaints filed by hundreds of plaintiffs against a hundred or more defendants, it has been difficult for Fairmont to determine how many of the cases actually involve valid claims or plaintiffs who were actually exposed to asbestos-containing products supplied by Fairmont. In addition, while Fairmont may be entitled to indemnity or contribution in certain jurisdictions from manufacturers of identified products, the availability of such indemnity or contribution is unclear at this time and, in recent years, some of the manufacturers named as defendants in these actions have sought protection from these claims under bankruptcy laws. Fairmont has no insurance coverage with respect to these asbestos cases. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005, payments by Fairmont with respect to asbestos cases have not been material. Our current estimates related to these asbestos claims, individually and in the aggregate, are immaterial to the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of CONSOL Energy. However, it is reasonably possible that payments in the future with respect to pending or future asbestos cases may be material to the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of CONSOL Energy.

CONSOL Energy is subject to various lawsuits and claims with respect to such matters as personal injury, wrongful death, damage to property, exposure to hazardous substances, governmental regulations including environmental remediation, employment and contract disputes, and other claims and actions arising out of the normal course of business. Our current estimates related to these pending claims, individually and in the aggregate, are immaterial to the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of CONSOL Energy. However, it is reasonably possible that the ultimate liabilities in the future with respect to these lawsuits and claims may be material to the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of CONSOL Energy.

CONSOL Energy was notified in November 2004 by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that it is a potentially responsible party (PRP) under Superfund legislation with respect to the Ward Transformer site in Wake County, North Carolina. At the time, the EPA also identified 38 other PRPs for the Ward Transformer site. On September 16, 2005, EPA, CONSOL Energy and three other PRPs entered into an administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on Consent, requiring those PRPs to undertake and complete a PCB soil removal action, at and in the vicinity of the Ward Transformer property. In December 2005, EPA approved the PRPs’ work plan, and field work began the first week of January 2006. The current estimated cost of remedial action including payment of EPA’s past and future costs, is approximately $20,000. CONSOL Energy’s interim allocation among the participating PRPs is 46%. Accordingly, CONSOL Energy recognized a $9,200 liability, of which $3,000 was recognized prior to December 31, 2005. This liability is included in other accrued liabilities. CONSOL Energy and the other participating PRPs are investigating contribution claims against other, non-participating PRPs, and such claims will be brought to recover a share of the costs incurred. To date, CONSOL Energy’s portion of probable recoveries are estimated to be $5,200. Accordingly, an asset has been included in other assets for these claims. The net cost of the liability and the asset has been included in Cost of Goods Sold and Other Charges. There were $1,626 of costs which were recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2006. No costs were recognized in Cost of Goods Sold and Other Charges for the three months ended June 30, 2006. CONSOL Energy has funded $626 and $1,252 in the three and six month period ended June 30, 2006, respectively, to an independent trust established for this remediation. CONSOL Energy expects the majority of payments related to this liability to be made over the next twelve to eighteen months. In addition, the EPA has advised the PRPs that it is investigating additional areas of potential contamination allegedly related to the Ward Transformer site.

On October 21, 2003 a complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania on behalf of Seth Moorhead against CONSOL Energy, J. Brett Harvey and William J. Lyons. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated under the Exchange Act and that during the period between January 24, 2002 and July 18, 2002 the defendants issued false and misleading statements to the public that failed to disclose or misrepresented the following, among other things that: (a) CONSOL utilized an aggressive approach regarding its spot market sales by reserving 20% of its production to that market, and that by increasing its exposure to the spot market, CONSOL Energy was subjecting itself to increased risk and uncertainty as the price and demand for coal could be volatile; (b) CONSOL Energy was experiencing difficulty selling the production that it had allocated to the spot market, and, nonetheless, CONSOL Energy maintained its production levels which caused its coal inventory to increase; (c) CONSOL Energy’s increasing coal inventory was causing its expenses to rise dramatically, thereby weakening its financial condition; (d) CONSOL Energy’s production problems and costs thereof were also weakening its financial condition; and (e) based on the foregoing, defendants’ positive statements regarding CONSOL Energy’s earnings and prospects were lacking in a reasonable basis at all times and therefore were materially false and misleading. The complaint asks the court to (1) award unspecified damages to plaintiff and (2) award plaintiff reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with this action, including counsel fees and expert fees. It is anticipated that the plaintiff will seek class certification. CONSOL Energy management believes these claims are without merit and have a remote chance of being awarded, accordingly, we have not accrued any liability associated with these claims.

Yukon Pocahontas Coal Company, Buchanan Coal Company, and Sayers-Pocahontas Coal Company filed an action on March 22, 2004 against one of our subsidiaries, Consolidtion Coal Company (“CCC”), which is presently pending in the Circuit Court of Buchanan County, Virginia. The action related to untreated water in connection with mining activities at CCC’s Buchanan Mine being deposited in the void spaces of nearby mines of one of our other subsidiaries, Island Creek Coal Company (“ICCC”). The plaintiffs are seeking to stop CCC from depositing any additional water in these areas, to require CCC to remove the water that is stored there along with any remaining impurities, to recover $300,000 of compensatory and trebled damages and to recover punitive damages. On July 26, 2006, plaintiffs filed a motion to amend the original complaint to assert additional damage claims of $3,252,000 against CCC. The plaintiffs also seek to amend the complaint to add CONSOL Energy, CNX Gas Company, LLC and ICCC as additional defendants and to assert additional damage claims of $150,000 against these defendants. With respect to this action, we believe we had, and continue to have, the right to store water in these areas. The named defendants deny liability and intend to vigorously defend this action; consequently, we have not recognized any liability related to these claims. However, it is reasonably possible that payments in the future, or the issuance of an injunction, with respect to the pending claims may be material to the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of CONSOL Energy.

Levisa Coal Company filed an action on July 10, 2006 against CCC which is presently pending in the U.S. Circuit Court of Buchanan County, Virginia. The action is for injunctive relief and declaratory judgment and seeks a court order prohibiting CCC from depositing water from its Buchanan Mine into the void spaces of ICCC’s VP3 mine, part of which is under lease from Levisa Coal Company. The plaintiff claims the water will adversely affect its remaining coal reserves and coal bed methane production, thereby impacting the plaintiff’s future royalties. We believe that CCC has the right to deposit the water in that void area. CCC intends to vigorously defend this action; consequently, we have not recognized any liability related to this action. However, if an injunction were to be issued, the result may be material to the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of CONSOL Energy.

As previously disclosed, we expensed and paid approximately $28,000 to the Combined Fund for the plan year beginning October 1, 2003 related to a premium differential announced by the Social Security Administration for the past eleven plan years for beneficiaries assigned to CONSOL Energy. The premium differential is the difference between the lower premium rates determined by the National Coal Association v. Chater case and the higher premium rates determined by the Holland v. Barnhart case. Additionally, CONSOL Energy has expensed approximately $2,000 related to the premium differential for the plan year beginning

60

October 1, 2004. In August 2005, a court ruling determined that the UMWA Health and Retirement Funds were illegally charging the premium differential. CONSOL Energy was also assessed an unassigned beneficiary premium increase of approximately $6,000 for the plan years beginning October 1, 2002 and October 1, 2003. We believe the calculation of the unassigned beneficiary premium is not accurate and, therefore, we have not paid this premium. CONSOL Energy has accrued an estimated liability related to this premium. The Combined Fund is protesting the court’s decision. If the courts rule in CONSOL Energy’s favor, the premium differential may be refunded to us and the unassigned beneficiary premium liability may be reduced. However, the legal process is lengthy and its outcome cannot be predicted with certainty. No estimates of refunds have been recorded and no amounts have been received from the UMWA Health and Retirement Funds to date.
