Notes to the MOR:
On April 7, 2014 (the "Petition Date"), James River Coal Company ("James River"), as a stand-alone entity, and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Debtors") filed voluntary petitions for reorganization (the "Chapter 11 Cases") under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Richmond Division (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered in the Bankruptcy Court under the caption "In re: James River Coal Company, et al. (Case No. 14-31848)."

This Monthly Operating Report ("MOR") has been prepared on a consolidated basis for the Debtors. The financial information contained herein is unaudited, limited in scope, covers a limited time period, and has been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the monthly reporting requirements for Chapter 11 debtors as required by the Bankruptcy Court and is in a format intended to meet the requirements for Chapter 11 debtors as required by the United States Trustee for the Eastern District of Virginia Richmond Division (the "U.S. Trustee"). As discussed below, this MOR is not prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP.  Therefore, there can be no assurance that the condensed consolidated financial information presented herein is complete, and readers are strongly cautioned not to place undue reliance on the MOR.

The unaudited financial statements have been derived from the books and records of the Debtors. The information furnished in this report primarily includes normal recurring adjustments but not all the adjustments that would typically be made for the quarterly and annual consolidated financial statements to be in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, the monthly financial information contained herein has not been subjected to the same level of accounting review and testing that the Debtors apply in the preparation of their quarterly and annual consolidated financial information in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, upon the application of such procedures, the Debtors believe that the financial information may be subject to change, and these changes could be material.

Additionally, the financial statements are subject to adjustments associated with the completion of the December 31, 2013 audit, including adjustments to the fixed asset values and depreciation and amortization for fixed asset impairments.

The results of operations contained herein are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected from any other period or for the full year and may not necessarily reflect the consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Debtors in the future.

For the reasons discussed above, the Debtors caution readers not to place undue reliance upon information contained in this MOR. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in James River's  Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

No assurance can be given as to the value, if any, that may be ascribed to the Debtors’ various pre-petition liabilities and other securities. Accordingly, the Debtors urge that caution be exercised with respect to existing and future investments in any of these securities or claims against the Debtors.

Additional information about the Chapter 11 Cases, court filings and claims information is available on the internet at http://dm.epiq11.com/jamesrivercoal

Notes to MOR-1a:

The debtor has, on a timely basis, performed all bank account reconciliations in the ordinary course of business.  Due to the level of detailed records, copies of the bank account statements and reconciliations are available for inspection only upon request by the United States Trustee's Office.

Notes to MOR-4 and MOR-5:

For the status of post-petition tax payments, see disclosures as noted on MOR-4. Due to the level of detailed records, (i) copies of IRS Form 6123 or payment receipts; (ii) copies of tax returns filed during the reporting period; and (iii) a taxes aging schedule will be made available only upon request.

Additionally, the Debtors believe that the information as disclosed in MOR-3 appropriately summarizes the ending accounts receivable and accounts payable balances of the Debtors. Due to the volume of transactions related to customer billings and vendor payments, the following items will be made available only upon request: (i) summary of unpaid post-petition debts; (ii) listing of aged accounts payable; and (iii) accounts receivable reconciliation and aging.

Notes to MOR-3:

On April 7, 2014, the Company and its 33 wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into that certain Superpriority Debtor-in Possession Credit Agreement (the “DIP Facility”) consisting of a term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $110.0 million from a syndicate of lenders, with Cantor Fitzgerald Securities acting as administrative agent and collateral agent.  The Company’s initial borrowing under the DIP Facility was made on April 10, 2014 in the amount of $80 million and a subsequent borrowing of $30 million was made on June 13, 2014. The Company has repaid the DIP facility in full in connection with its sale of assets to Revelation Energy, LLC ("Revelation Energy") as discussed below.  The Borrowings under the DIP Facility were used to (i) fund the operational and working capital needs of the Debtor, (ii) pay the fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Debtors in connection with their Chapter 11 cases and (iii) pay in full certain pre-petition debt and cash collateralize letters of credit issued under the Debtors’ pre-petition credit agreement.

On August 29, 2014,  certain of the Debtors (collectively, the "Sellers") completed the sale (the "Sale") of certain of the assets of the Company's Hampden, Hazard and Triad mining complexes (the “Assets”) to Blackhawk Mining, LLC. The consideration for the Assets was $52.0 million, consisting of (i) $20.0 million in cash paid to the Sellers, (ii) a third lien secured promissory note in the amount of $27.0 million delivered to the Sellers, and (iii) a second lien secured promissory note in the amount of $5.0 million delivered to one of the Sellers’ lessors, in lieu of a cash payment of cure costs under certain leases to be assumed by the Sellers and assigned to Blackhawk in connection with the Sale.  The Company has recorded a preliminary loss on the sale of $500 million in the 12 months ended December 31, 2014.

On September 5, 2014, the Debtors completed the sale of certain assets of their McCoy Elkhorn complex (the "McCoy Sale") to Opes Resources, Inc. for $3.1 million and assumption of certain liabilities.  The Company has recorded a preliminary gain on the sale of $3.6 million in the 12 months ended December 31, 2014.

On September 24, 2014, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") announced that it will pay retirement benefits under the Debtors' retirement plan (the "Plan") up to the maximum amount permitted by law.  Participants in the Plan will continue to receive benefits from the Plan until the PBGC assumes responsibility for payment of such benefits.  On December 12, 2014, the Agreement for Appointment of Trustee and Termination of Plan was agreed to by the PBGC and the Company.  The pension liability of $14.6 million was moved to the liabilities subject to compromise obligation.

On December 31, 2014 the Debtors completed the sale of the mining complexes commonly referred to as the Bell Complex and the Bledsoe Complex and certain of the assets of Laurel Mountain Resources LLC to Revelation Energy for an aggregate cash price of $2,000,000 in cash plus the assumption of certain liabilities and the retention by the Sellers of certain specified equipment and $3,000,000 of collateral.  Due to this transaction, the Company withdrew from the Kentucky self-insurance fund on December 31, 2014.  The self- insurance fund will be responsible for future Kentucky workers' compensation and black lung payments.  The Company moved $54.5 million from workers' compensation and black lung benefits liability to liabilities subject to compromise.  The Company turned over to the Kentucky self insurance fund $41.9 million from the restricted cash account which the fund received in January 2015.  The Company has recorded a preliminary gain on the sale of $29.3 million.

The Company has no remaining mining operations.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company has $3.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $18.9 million in restricted cash.

Liabilities subject to compromise represent unsecured obligations that will be accounted for under a plan.  Generally, actions to enforce or otherwise affect payment of pre-petition liabilities are stayed. Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 852 requires pre-petition liabilities that are subject to compromise to be reported at the amounts expected to be allowed, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts. These liabilities represent the amounts expected to be allowed on known or potential claims to be resolved through the Chapter 11 process, and remain subject to future adjustments arising from negotiated settlements, actions of the Bankruptcy Court, rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases, the determination as to the value of collateral securing the claims, proofs of claim, and other events. Liabilities subject to compromise also include certain items that may be assumed under the plan, and, as such, may be subsequently reclassified to liabilities not subject to compromise.

-------------

The Bankruptcy Court has approved payment of certain pre-petition obligations, including employee wages, salaries and benefits, and the payment of vendors and other providers in the ordinary course for goods and services received after the filing of the Chapter 11 petitions and other business related expenses necessary to maintain the operations of the Debtors' businesses. Obligations associated with these matters are not classified as liabilities subject to compromise.

With the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors may reject certain pre-petition executory contracts and unexpired leases.  Damages resulting from rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases are generally treated as general unsecured claims and are classified as liabilities subject to compromise. Holders of pre-petition claims are required to file proofs of claims by the “bar date."  The general bar date was September 22, 2014, which was the date by which certain claims against the Debtors were to be filed if the claimants wished to receive any distribution in the Chapter 11 Cases.  Creditors were notified of the bar date and the requirements to file a proof of claim with the Bankruptcy Court. Differences between liability amounts estimated by the Debtors and claims filed by creditors will be investigated and, if necessary, the Bankruptcy Court will make a final determination as to the amount of the allowable claim. The determination of how liabilities will ultimately be treated cannot be made until the Bankruptcy Court approves a plan. The Debtors will continue to evaluate these liabilities throughout the Chapter 11 Cases and adjust amounts as necessary. Such adjustments may be material. In light of the expected number of creditors, the claims resolutions process may take considerable time to complete. Accordingly, the ultimate amount or treatment of such liabilities is not determinable at this time.
