(1) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting and include the accounts of International Coal Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) and its controlled affiliates. Significant intercompany transactions, profits and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company accounts for its undivided interest in coalbed methane wells using the proportionate consolidation method, whereby its share of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are included in the appropriate classification in the financial statements.
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2010 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the notes thereto, are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the periods presented. The balance sheet information as of December 31, 2009 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated balance sheet. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or for the year e nding December 31, 2010.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and General
Subsequent Events—In February 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-09, Subsequent Events—Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements (“ASU 2010-09”), which amends ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events, so that SEC filers no longer are required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. 0;ASU 2010-09 was effective upon issuance. Adoption of ASU 2010-09 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Fair Value—In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2010-06”). This amendment to ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. This is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuance and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level III fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of ASU 2010-06 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Consolidation—In June 2009, the FASB issued updates to ASC Topic 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”) to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities. ASC 810 is effective as of the first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2009. Adoption of ASC 810 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Cost of Other Revenues—Cost of other revenues includes costs of contract mining, coalbed methane activities, ash disposal services, equipment and parts sales, equipment rebuild and maintenance services, royalties and coal handling and processing income, as well as costs incurred associated with other non-coal producing transactions. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, cost of other revenues includes $10,000 related to a payment made in the second quarter of 2010 for the early termination of a coal supply agreement.

(3) Capital Restructuring
In March 2010, the Company completed public offerings of 24,444,365 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a public offering price of $4.47 per share, $115,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Convertible Notes”) and $200,000 aggregate principal amount of 9.125% Senior Secured Second-Priority Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Senior Notes”) pursuant to a shelf registration statement deemed effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 15, 2010.
The Company used $136,394 of the net proceeds from the Common Stock and 2017 Convertible Notes offerings to finance a cash tender offer to repurchase $114,489 aggregate principal amount of its 9.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2012 (the “2012 Convertible Notes”). The repurchases closed on April 6, 2010. The Company used $187,561 of the net proceeds from the 2018 Senior Notes offering to finance a cash tender offer and consent solicitation to repurchase $175,000 aggregate principal amount of its 10.25% Senior Notes due 2014 (the “2014 Senior Notes”), $169,074 of which closed on March 22, 2010, $50 of which closed on April 5, 2010 and $5,876 of which closed on July 15, 2010.

The ABL Loan Facility provides the potential for $25,000 in additional borrowing capacity, contains minimal financial covenants and matures in February 2014.

The 2017 Convertible Notes are convertible into the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price, subject to adjustment, of $5.81 per share (approximating 172.0874 shares per one thousand dollar principal amount of the 2017 Convertible Notes). Holders may convert their notes at their option prior to January 1, 2017 only under the following circumstances: (i) during any calendar quarter after the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2010 (and only during that quarter), if the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock for each of 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds 130% of the conversion price of such notes in effect on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (ii) during the five consecutive business days immediately after any five consecutive trading day period, or the note measurement period, in which the trading price per note for each trading day of that note measurement period was equal to or less than 97% of the product of the closing sale price of shares of the Company’s common stock and the applicable conversion rate for such trading day; and (iii) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions. In addition, the notes will be convertible irrespective of the foregoing circumstances from, and including, January 1, 2017 to, and including, the business day immediately preceding April 1, 2017. Upon conversion, the Company will have the right to deliver cash, shares of its common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. At any time on or prior to the 23rd business day immediately preceding the maturity date, the Company may irrevocably elect to deliver solely shares of its common stock in respect o f the Company’s conversion obligation or pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be converted and deliver shares of its common stock, cash or a combination thereof in respect of the remainder, if any, of the conversion obligation. It is the Company’s current intention to settle the principal amount of any notes converted in cash. The conversion rate, and thus the conversion price, will be subject to adjustment. A holder that surrenders notes for conversion in connection with a “make-whole fundamental change” that occurs before the maturity date may in certain circumstances be entitled to an increased conversion rate. In the event the 2017 Convertible Notes become convertible, the Company would be required to classify the entire amount outstanding of the 2017 Convertible Notes as a current liability. For a discussion of the effects of the 2017 Convertible Notes on earnings per share, see Note 10.
As of June 30, 2010, the equity component of the 2017 Convertible Notes was $20,786 and is included in additional paid-in capital. Interest expense resulting from amortization of the debt discount was $879 and $1,026 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. Interest expense on the principal amount of the 2017 Convertible Notes was $1,150 and $1,342 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The Company has determined its non-convertible borrowing rate would have been 10.1% at issuance.

9.00% Convertible senior notes due 2012—In December 2009, the Company entered into a series of privately negotiated agreements in order to induce conversions of its outstanding 2012 Convertible Notes. In connection with such agreements, the Company issued a total of 18,660,550 shares of its common stock in exchange for $63,498 aggregate principal amount of its 2012 Convertible Notes during December 2009. One of the exchange agreements, as amended, provided for closing of additional exchanges on each of January 11, 2010 and January 19, 2010 for exchange transactions occurring in 2010. Subsequent to December 31, 2009, the noteholder exchanged $22,000 aggregate principal amount of 2012 Convertible Notes for 6,198,668 shares of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, the Company used the net proceeds from its Common Stock and 2017 Convertible Notes offerings (see Note 3) to finance the repurchase of $114,489 aggregate principal amount of 2012 Convertible Notes. The repurchases closed on April 6, 2010.
The 2012 Convertible Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company’s material current and future domestic subsidiaries. The 2012 Convertible Notes and the related guarantees rank equal in right of payment to all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ respective existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1st and August 1st of each year. The Company assesses the convertibility of the 2012 Convertible Notes on an ongoing basis. The 2012 Convertible Notes were not convertible as of June 30, 2010.
The principal amount of the 2012 Convertible Notes is payable in cash and amounts above the principal amount, if any, will be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock or, at the Company’s option, cash. The 2012 Convertible Notes are convertible at an initial conversion price, subject to adjustment, of $6.10 per share (approximating 163.8136 shares per one thousand dollar principal amount of the 2012 Convertible Notes). The 2012 Convertible Notes are convertible upon the occurrence of certain events, including (i) prior to February 12, 2012 during any calendar quarter after September 30, 2007, if the closing sale price per share of the Company’s common stock for each of 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately p receding calendar quarter exceeds 130% of the conversion price in effect on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (ii) prior to February 12, 2012 during the five consecutive business days immediately after any five consecutive trading day period in which the average trading price for the notes on each day during such five trading day period was equal to or less than 97% of the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on such day multiplied by the then current conversion rate; (iii) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions; and (iv) at any time from, and including February 1, 2012 until the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding August 1, 2012. In addition, upon events defined as a “fundamental change” under the 2012 Convertible Notes indenture, the Company may be required to repurchase the 2012 Convertible Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. In the event the 2012 Convertible Notes become convertible, the Company would be required to classify the entire amount outstanding of the 2012 Convertible Notes as a current liability. In addition, if conversion occurs in connection with certain changes in control, the Company may be required to deliver additional shares of the Company’s common stock (a “make-whole” premium) by increasing the conversion rate with respect to such notes. For a discussion of the effects of the 2012 Convertible Notes on earnings per share, see Note 10.

Interest on the 2018 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1st and October 1st of each year, commencing October 1, 2010. The obligations under the 2018 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by all of the Company’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries other than subsid iaries that are designated as unrestricted subsidiaries. The 2018 Senior Notes and the guarantees are secured by a second-priority lien on, and security interest in, substantially all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ assets, junior to first-priority liens that secure the Company’s ABL Loan Facility and certain other permitted liens under the indenture that governs the notes. Prior to April 1, 2014, the Company may redeem all or a part of the 2018 Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus an applicable “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. The Company may redeem the 2018 Senior Notes, in whole or in part, beginning on April 1, 2014. The initial redemption price will be 104.563% of their aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The redemption price declines to 102.281% and 100.000% of their aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, on April 1, 2015 and April 1, 2016 and the reafter, respectively. In addition, at any time and from time to time prior to April 1, 2013, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the 2018 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 109.125% of its principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest using proceeds from sales of certain kinds of the Company’s capital stock.

The indenture governing the 2014 Senior Notes contains covenants that limit the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, issue preferred stock, pay dividends, repurchase, repay or redeem the Company’s capital stock, make certain investments, sell assets and incur liens. As of June 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with its covenants under the indenture.
Asset-based loan facility—On February 22, 2010, the Company entered into an ABL Loan Facility which replaced its prior senior secured credit facility. The ABL Loan Facility is a $125,000 senior secured facility with a four-year term, all of which is available for loans or the issuance of letters of credit. Subject to certain conditions, at any time prior to maturity, the Company will be able to elect to increase the size of the ABL Loan Facility, up to a maximum of $200,000. Availability under the ABL Loan Facility is determined using a borrowing base calculation. The ABL Loan Facility is guaranteed by all of the Company’s current and future wholly-owned subsidiaries and secured by a first priority security interest on all of the Company’ s and each of the Company’s guarantors’ existing and after-acquired real and personal property, including all outstanding equity interests of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. The ABL Loan Facility has a maturity date of February 22, 2014. The ABL Loan Facility has an early acceleration provision if more than $20,000 aggregate principal amount of 2012 Convertible Notes remains outstanding as of January 31, 2012. Accordingly, the Company intends to repurchase an additional amount of the 2012 Convertible Notes so that no more than $20,000 remains outstanding as of that date. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had a borrowing capacity of $118,660 under the ABL Loan Facility with no borrowings outstanding, letters of credit totaling $85,401 outstanding and $33,259 available for future borrowing, and was in compliance with its financial covenants under the ABL Loan Facility. The ABL Loan Facility was amended on May 6, 2010 for minor technical corrections.
Equipment notes—The equipment notes, having various maturity dates extending to September 2014, are collateralized by mining equipment. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had amounts outstanding with terms ranging from 36 to 60 months and a weighted-average interest rate of 7.38%. Additional funds are available under the Company’s revolving equipment credit facility for terms from 36 to 60 months at interest rates ranging from 5.75% to 6.25% at June 30, 2010.
Capital lease and other—The Company leases certain mining equipment under a capital lease. The Company imputed interest on its capital lease using a rate of 10.44%.
Short-Term Debt
The Company finances the majority of its annual insurance premiums with the related obligation included in short-term debt. The weighted-average interest rate applicable to the notes was 2.03% at June 30, 2010. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had $2,334 and $2,166, respectively, outstanding related to insurance financing.

(7) Income Taxes
The effective income tax rates applied to the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were calculated using estimated annual effective rates based on projected earnings for the respective years, exclusive of discrete items. The effective income tax rate applied to the three months ended June 30, 2010 decreased to 13% from an effective income tax rate of 18% applied to the three months ended June 30, 2009, primarily resulting from the effect of an increase in forecasted income tax deductions for depletion of mineral rights. The effective income tax rate applied to the six months ended June 30, 2010 decreased to 9% from an effective income tax rate of 20% applied to the six months ended June 30, 2009, primarily resulting from the effect of an increase in forecasted income tax deductions for depletion of mineral rights.
Discrete items that impacted only the current periods were excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate applied to the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, discrete items of $3,030 were comprised of a tax benefit of $3,257 for the loss on the repurchase of 2012 Convertible Notes and tax expense of $227 for other miscellaneous discrete items. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, discrete items of $9,298 were comprised of tax benefits of $6,288 for the loss on the repurchases of 2014 Senior Notes and $3,895 for the loss on repurchases and exchanges of 2012 Convertible Notes, as well as tax expense of $829 related to the Health Care Reform and Education Reconciliations Act taxation of Medicare Part D and $56 for other miscellaneous discrete items. There were no significant di screte items excluded from the estimated annual effective rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.
(8) Employee Benefits
Postretirement Benefits
Employees of the Company who complete ten years of service, and certain employees who have completed eight years of service with the former Horizon Natural Resources Company and complete two years with the Company, will be eligible to receive postretirement healthcare benefits. Eligible retired employees must pay two hundred and fifty dollars per month per family. The Company accrues postretirement benefit expense based on actuarially determined amounts. The amount of postretirement benefit cost accrued is impacted by various assumptions (discount rate, healthcare cost increases, etc.) that the Company uses in determining its postretirement obligations.
In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“PPACA”) and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (“HCERA” or, collectively with PPACA, the “Health Care Reform Act”) were enacted into law. The Health Care Reform Act is a comprehensive health care reform bill that includes a provision to remove lifetime caps on medical plans. The Company’s retiree medical plan has such a cap and, as a result of the Health Care Reform Act, it remeasured its postretirement benefit obligation resulting in an additional liability of $6,323. The prior service cost associated with the plan change will be amortized over the average remaining working life of the related employees. The Company incurred additional expense of $422 during the three months ended June 30, 2010 re lated to the remeasurement.

For measurement purposes at June 30, 2010, an 8.7% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered healthcare benefits was assumed, gradually decreasing to 4.7% in 2061 and remaining level thereafter.
The expense and liability estimates can fluctuate by significant amounts based upon the assumptions used. As of June 30, 2010, a one-percentage-point increase in assumed healthcare cost trend rates would increase total service and interest cost components and the postretirement benefit obligation by $1,254 and $7,007, respectively. Conversely, a one-percentage-point decrease would reduce total service and interest cost components and the postretirement benefit obligation by $962 and $5,748, respectively.
Estimated future benefit payments for the years indicated ending after June 30, 2010 are as follows:
2010 (remainder of year) | | | $ | 250 | |
2011 | | | | 825 | |
2012 | | | | 1,279 | |

Total | | | $ | 21,656 | |
The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the “Medicare Act”) provides for a prescription drug benefit under Medicare (“Medicare Part D”), as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retiree healthcare benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. As of June 30, 2010, the Company determined the effects of the Medicare Act resulted in a $14,789 reduction of its postretirement benefit obligation. The Medicare Act is expected to result in a $2,647 reduction of the Company’s postretirement benefit cost for the year ended December 31, 2010. The effect on the Company’s postretirement benefit cost components includes reductions of $1,145, $741 and $761 to the service cost, interest cost and amortization of accumula ted postretirement benefit obligation, respectively. Provisions of the PPACA, among other things, repeal the current rule permitting a tax deduction for the portion of the drug coverage expense that is offset by the Medicare Part D subsidy, effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012.
Under the Health Care Reform Act, the Company will no longer receive a federal income tax deduction for the expenses incurred in connection with providing the subsidized coverage to the extent of the subsidy received. Because future anticipated retiree prescription drug plan liabilities and related subsidies are already reflected in the Company’s financial statements, this change required it to reduce the value of the related tax benefits recognized in its financial statements in the period during which the Health Care Reform Act was enacted. As a result, the Company recorded a one-time, non-cash income tax charge of $829 during the six months ended June 30, 2010 to reflect the impact of this change.

The plan is unfunded; therefore, no contributions were made by the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.
The Health Care Reform Act also amended previous legislation related to coal workers’ pneumoconiosis (black lung), providing an automatic extension of awarded lifetime benefits to surviving spouses and providing changes to the legal criteria used to assess and award claims. These new provisions of the Health Care Reform Act may increase the number of future claims that are awarded benefits. The Company does not have sufficient claims experience since the Health Care Reform Act was passed to estimate the impact on its June 30, 2010 black lung liability of the potential increase in the number of future claims that are awarded benefits. An increase in benefits awarded could have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(10) Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding restricted common stock subject to continuing vesting requirements. Diluted earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period and, when dilutive, potential common shares from the exercise of stock options, restricted common stock subject to continuing vesting requirements, restricted stock units and convertible debt, pursuant to the treasury stock method.
Reconciliations of weighted-average shares outstanding used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:
| | Three months ended June 30, | | | Six months ended June 30, | |

Legal Matters—On August 23, 2006, a survivor of the Sago mine accident, Randal McCloy, filed a complaint in the Kanawha Circuit Court in Kanawha County, West Virginia. The claims brought by Randal McCloy and his family against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, and against W.L. Ross & Co., and Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., individually, were dismissed on February 14, 2008, after the parties reached a confidential settlement. Sixteen other complaints have been filed in Kanawha Circuit Court by the representatives of many of the miners who died in the Sago mine accident, and several of these plaintiffs have filed amended complaints to expand the group of defendants in the cases. The complaints allege various causes of a ction against the Company and its subsidiary, Wolf Run Mining Company, one of its shareholders, W.L. Ross & Co., and Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., individually, related to the accident and seek compensatory and punitive damages. In addition, the plaintiffs also allege causes of action against other third parties, including claims against the manufacturer of Omega block seals used to seal the area where the explosion occurred and against the manufacturer of self-contained self-rescuer (“SCSR”) devices worn by the miners at the Sago mine. Some of these third parties have been dismissed from the actions upon settlement. The amended complaints add other of the Company’s subsidiaries to the cases, including ICG, Inc., ICG, LLC and Hunter Ridge Coal Company, unnamed parent, subsidiary and affiliate companies of the Company, W.L. Ross & Co., and Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., and other third parties, including a provider of electrical services and a supplier of components used in the SCSR devices. The Company believes that it is appropriately insured for these and other potential claims, and has fully paid its deductible applicable to its insurance policies. In addition to the dismissal of the McCloy claim, the Company has settled and dismissed five other actions. These settlements required the release of the Company, its subsidiaries, W.L. Ross & Co., and Wilbur L. Ross, Jr. The Company will vigorously defend itself against the remaining complaints.
Allegheny Energy Supply (“Allegheny”), the sole customer of coal produced at the Company’s subsidiary Wolf Run Mining Company’s (“Wolf Run”) Sycamore No. 2 mine, filed a lawsuit against Wolf Run, Hunter Ridge Holdings, Inc. (“Hunter Ridge”), and the Company in state court in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania on December 28, 2006, and amended its complaint on April 23, 2007. Allegheny claims that Wolf Run breached a coal supply contract when it declared force majeure under the contract upon idling the Sycamore No. 2 mine in the third quarter of 2006, and that Wolf Run continues to breach the contract by failing to ship in volumes referenced in the contract. The Sycamore No. 2 mine was idled after encountering adverse geologic conditions and aban doned gas wells that were previously unidentified and unmapped. After extensive searching for gas wells and rehabilitation of the mine, it was re-opened in 2007, but with notice to Allegheny that it would necessarily operate at reduced volumes in order to safely and effectively avoid the many gas wells within the reserve. The amended complaint also alleges that the production stoppages constitute a breach of the guarantee agreement by Hunter Ridge and breach of certain representations made upon entering into the contract in early 2005, a claim that Allegheny has since voluntarily dropped. Allegheny claims that it will incur costs in excess of $100,000 to purchase replacement coal over the life of the contract. The Company, Wolf Run and Hunter Ridge answered the amended complaint on August 13, 2007, disputing all of the remaining claims. On November 3, 2008, the Company, Wolf Run and Hunter Ridge filed an amended answer and counterclaim against the plaintiffs seeking to void the coal supply agreemen t due to, among other things, fraudulent inducement and conspiracy. The counterclaim alleges further that Allegheny breached a confidentiality agreement with Hunter Ridge, which prohibited the solicitation of its employees. After the coal supply agreement was executed, Allegheny hired the then-president of Anker Coal Group, Inc. (now Hunter Ridge) who engaged in negotiations on behalf of Wolf Run and Hunter Ridge. In addition to seeking a declaratory judgment that the coal supply agreement and guaranty be deemed void and unenforceable and rescission of the contracts, the counterclaim also seeks compensatory and punitive damages. On September 23, 2009, Allegheny filed a second amended complaint alleging several alternative theories of liability in its effort to extend contractual liability to the Company, which was not a party to the original contract and did not exist at the time Wolf Run and Allegheny entered into the contract. No new substantive claims were asserted. The Company answered the second amended complaint on October 13, 2009, denying all of the new claims. The Company’s counterclaim was dismissed on motion for summary judgment entered on May 11, 2010. Allegheny’s claims against International Coal Group, Inc. were also dismissed by summary judgment, but the claims against Wolf Run and Hunter Ridge remain pending. The court has set a trial date of January 24, 2011 for trial of this matter.

On January 7, 2008, Saratoga Advantage Trust (“Saratoga”) filed a class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia against the Company and certain of its officers and directors seeking unspecified damages. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, based on alleged false and misleading statements in the registration statements filed in connection with the Company’s November 2005 reorganization and December 2005 public offering of common stock. In addition, the complaint challenges other of the Company’s public statements regarding its operating condition and safety record. On July 6, 2009, Saratoga filed an amended complaint asserting essentially th e same claims but seeking to add an individual co-plaintiff. The Company has filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The Company intends to vigorously defend the action.
On July 3, 2007, Taylor Environmental Advocacy Membership, Inc. (“T.E.A.M.”) filed a petition to appeal the issuance of ICG Tygart Valley, LLC’s (“Tygart Valley”) Surface Mine Permit U-2004-06 against the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (the “WVDEP”) in an action before the West Virginia Surface Mine Board (the “Board”). On December 10, 2007, the Board remanded the permit to the WVDEP for revision to certain provisions related to pre-mining water monitoring and cumulative hydrologic impacts. The WVDEP issued a modification on April 1, 2008 addressing those issues. T.E.A.M. filed an appeal of the WVDEP’s approval of the permit modification on April 30, 2008. On October 7, 2008, the Board issued an order remanding the permit to the WVDEP requiring Tygart Valley to address a technical issue related to projected post-mining water quality. Tygart Valley prepared and submitted a permit modification to alleviate the Board’s concerns. The revision was approved by the WVDEP on May 27, 2009, reinstating the Tygart Valley permit. As expected, T.E.A.M. appealed the reinstatement. On March 10, 2010, the Board issued a Notice of Decision which affirmed and modified WVDEP’s decision to issue the permit to Tygart Valley. The Board issued its Final Order on June 9, 2010, affirming its decision in favor of Tygart Valley. T.E.A.M. did not appeal the Board’s decision and the matter is now concluded. Tygart Valley resumed construction activities in June 2010.
On June 11, 2010, the WVDEP filed suit against ICG Eastern, LLC (“ICG Eastern”) alleging violations of the West Virginia Water Pollution Control/National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“WVNPDES”) and Surface Mine Permits for ICG Eastern’s Birch River surface mine. The WVDEP alleges that ICG Eastern has failed to fully comply with the effluent limits for aluminum, manganese, pH, iron and selenium contained in its WVNPDES permit. The complaint further alleges that violations of the WVNPDES permit effluent limits have caused violations of water quality standards for the same parameters in the streams receiving the discharges from this mine. The WVDEP also alleges that violations of the effluent limits in the WVNPDES permits are also violations of the regulations governing surface mining in West Virginia. The WVDEP’s complaint seeks the imposition of civil penalties and relief that, if granted, may impose new or more stringent treatment requirements for ICG Eastern’s outlets. ICG Eastern has filed an answer and raised affirmative defenses to the WVDEP’s complaint. The Company intends to vigorously defend this matter.
In addition, from time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. These proceedings include assessments of penalties for citations and orders asserted by the Mine Safety and Health Administration and other regulatory agencies, none of which are expected by management to, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company. In the opinion of management, the Company has recorded adequate reserves for liabilities arising in the ordinary course and it is management’s belief there is no individual case or group of related cases pending that is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

(15) Supplementary Guarantor Information
International Coal Group, Inc. (the “Parent Company”) issued its 2014 Senior Notes in June 2006, 2012 Convertible Notes in July 2007, 2018 Senior Notes in March 2010 and 2017 Convertible Notes (together with the 2014 Senior Notes, the 2012 Convertible Notes and the 2018 Senior Notes, the “Notes”) in March 2010.
The Parent Company has no independent assets or operations other than those related to the issuance, administration and repayment of the Notes. All subsidiaries of the Parent Company (the “Guarantors”), except for a minor non-guarantor joint venture, have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Notes on a joint and several basis. The Guarantors are 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by the Parent Company. Accordingly, condensed consolidating financial information for the Parent Company and the Guarantors are not presented.
The Notes are senior obligations of the Parent Company and are guaranteed on a senior basis by the Guarantors and rank senior in right of payment to the Parent Company’s and Guarantors’ future subordinated indebtedness. Obligations under the ABL Loan Facility are secured on a first-priority basis and obligations under the 2018 Senior Notes are secured on a second-priority basis by substantially all of the assets of the Parent Company and the Guarantors. As a result, the 2014 Senior Notes, 2012 Convertible Notes and 2017 Convertible Notes are effectively subordinated to amounts borrowed under the ABL Loan Facility and the 2018 Senior Notes. Other than for corporate-related purposes or interest payments required by the Notes, the ABL Loan Facility restricts the Guarantors’ abilities to make loans or pay dividends t o the Parent Company in excess of $25,000 per year (or at all upon an event of default) and restricts the ability of the Parent Company to pay dividends. Therefore, all but $25,000 of the Parent Company’s subsidiaries’ assets are restricted assets.
The Parent Company and Guarantors are subject to certain covenants under the indenture for the 2018 Senior Notes. Under these covenants, the Parent Company and Guarantors are, among other things, subject to limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, payment of dividends and the incurrence of liens; however, the indenture contains no restrictions on the ability of the Guarantors to pay dividends or make payments to the Parent Company.
The obligations of the Guarantors are limited to the maximum amount permitted under bankruptcy law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law respecting fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer.

Coal sales revenues—Coal sales revenues are derived from sales of produced coal and brokered coal contracts. Coal sales revenues increased for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009, primarily due to an increase in sales realization of $4.87 per ton resulting from favorable pricing in the second quarter of 2010. Partially offsetting the increase in sales realization was a 2% decrease in tons sold.
26
Central Appalachian. Coal sales revenues from our Central Appalachian segment for the three months ended June 30, 2010 decreased over the same period in 2009, primarily due to a 6% decrease in tons sold, largely driven by the expiration or termination of certain coal supply agreements. Partially offsetting the decrease in tons sold was an increase in sales realization of $2.23 per ton, which was driven by higher average contract prices of our coal.
Northern Appalachian. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, our Northern Appalachian coal sales revenues increased compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009 as a result of increased sales realization of $15.20 per ton, as well as an 11% increase in tons sold. The increase in sales realization and tons sold is a result of increased participation in the spot market due to more favorable pricing of metallurgical coal.
Illinois Basin. The increase in coal sales revenues from our Illinois Basin segment for the three months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to an increase in sales realization of $4.85 per ton, as well as a 7% increase in tons sold, primarily on long-term thermal coal supply contracts.
Ancillary. Our Ancillary segment’s coal sales revenues are comprised of coal sold under brokered coal contracts. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, our Ancillary coal sales revenues decreased 23%, primarily due to a 22% decrease in tons sold related to the expiration of certain coal supply agreements, as well as to decreased shipments on various remaining contracts. This decrease was further impacted by decreased realization of $1.23 per ton sold during the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009.
Freight and handling revenues—Freight and handling revenues represent reimbursement of freight and handling costs for certain shipments for which we initially pay the costs and are then reimbursed by the customer. Freight and handling revenues and costs increased for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009, primarily due to an increase in sales volumes on shipments with related freight and handling. Additionally, our subsidiary, ICG ADDCAR Systems, LLC (“ADDCAR”), sold a highwall mining machine during the three months ended June 30, 2010 with the related shipping costs included in freight and handling. There was no comparable sale during the three months ended June 30, 2009.
Other revenues—The increase in other revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily due to the sale of a highwall mining machine during the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in other revenues was partially offset by a decrease of $7.7 million of income on the termination of a below-market contract and incentive payments received related to rail transportation in the second quarter of 2009. Further impacting the decrease in other revenues was a decrease in contract mining revenues as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009.

The following table depicts cost of coal sales by reportable segment for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:
| | Three months ended June 30, | | Increase (Decrease) |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | | $ | | % |
| | (in thousands, except percentages) | |
Central Appalachian | | $ | 133,274 | | | $ | 140,142 | | $ | (6,868 | ) | (5 | )% |
Northern Appalachian | | | 54,199 | | | | 44,745 | | | 9,454 | | 21 | % |

Ancillary | | | 7,461 | | | | 8,163 | | | (702 | ) | (9 | )% |
Cost of coal sales | | $ | 211,927 | | | $ | 207,324 | | $ | 4,603 | | 2 | % |
Cost of coal sales—For the three months ended June 30, 2010, our cost of coal sales increased compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009, primarily as a result of a 4% increase in cost of coal sales per ton, partially offset by a 2% decrease in tons sold.
Central Appalachian. Cost of coal sales from our Central Appalachian segment decreased primarily due to a 6% decrease in tons sold. Offsetting the decrease in tons sold was an increase in cost of coal sales per ton from $56.52 per ton for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $57.49 per ton for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in cost of coal sales per ton is primarily due to increases in labor costs, roof control and ventilation costs and royalties, taxes and fees. Labor costs have increased primarily due to a change in our policy in the second quarter of 2009 related to when employees are credited with vacation time. Roof control and ventilation costs increased on a per ton basis as a result of more costly materials required by changes in roof control p lans. Royalties, taxes and fees increased on a per ton basis as a result of increased realization per ton sold and increased royalty rates on certain leased reserves, as well as increased severance tax obligations. Partially offsetting the increase in cost per ton was a decrease in fuel, lubricants and chemicals as a result of reduced diesel fuel consumption and prices as compared to the three months ending June 30, 2009, as well as a decrease due to fluctuations in the value of stockpile inventories.
Northern Appalachian. Our Northern Appalachian segment cost of coal sales increased due to an increase in cost of coal sales per ton from $47.21 per ton for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $51.67 per ton for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as well as an 11% increase in tons sold. The increase in cost per ton was primarily due to increases in labor costs and transportation costs. Labor costs increased on a per ton basis due to a change in our policy in the second quarter of 2009 related to when employees are credited with vacation time. Transportation costs increased on a per ton basis, primarily due to increased metallurgical coal sales which require additional trucking costs for processing and transfer to the loading facility. Further contributing to the incre ase in the cost per ton were increases in benefit costs, repairs and maintenance costs and operating supplies and site maintenance costs. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in fuel, lubricants and chemicals as diesel fuel costs have declined as compared to the three months ending June 30, 2009, as well as a decrease due to fluctuations in the value of stockpile inventories.
Illinois Basin. For the three months ended June 30, 2010, cost of coal sales from our Illinois Basin segment increased due to an increase in cost per ton from $26.13 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $28.99 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and a 7% increase in tons sold. Cost of coal sales per ton increased due to increases in roof control and ventilation costs, operating supplies and site maintenance costs, contract labor costs and repairs and maintenance costs. Roof control and ventilation costs per ton increased primarily as a result of purchasing more costly materials required for producing coal in aging areas of the mine. Further contributing to the increase in the cost per ton were increases in operating supplies and site maintenance costs, contr act labor costs and repairs and maintenance costs as a result of adverse mining conditions and an additional mining section being added in June 2009. The additional section has not reached full production and additional resources are needed to allow for continued production concurrent with the addition of a new slope entrance. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in other cash costs.
Ancillary. Cost of coal sales from our Ancillary segment decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2010 due to a 22% decrease in tons sold related to the expiration of certain brokered coal contracts, partially offset by a $6.73 increase in cost per ton.
28
Cost of other revenues—For the three months ended June 30, 2010, cost of other revenues increased primarily due to an increase in cost of goods sold related to the sale of a highwall mining machine during the three months ended June 30, 2010. Additionally, costs have increased due to a $10.0 million payment made in the second quarter of 2010 for the early termination of a coal supply agreement.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization—Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense remained relatively consistent compared to the same period in 2009.
Selling, general and administrative expenses—Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2010 decreased primarily due to decreased legal and professional fees and taxes and licenses costs. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in labor and benefit costs as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009.
Gain on sale of assets—Gain on sale of assets decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2010 due to a $2.9 million gain related to the sale of a loadout facility during the three months ended June 30, 2009 with no comparable sale during the three months ended June 30, 2010.
Adjusted EBITDA by reportable segment
Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before deducting interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, loss on extinguishment of debt and noncontrolling interest. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because it is an important supplemental measure of our performance used by our chief operating decision maker in such areas as capital investment and allocation of resources. Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to its most comparable GAAP measure on page 31 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Note 14 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2010.
The following table depicts Adjusted EBITDA by reportable segment for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:
| | Three months ended June 30, | | Increase (Decrease) |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | | $ | | % |
| | (in thousands, except percentages) | |
Central Appalachian | | $ | 37,287 | | | $ | 47,166 | | $ | (9,879 | ) | (21 | )% |
Northern Appalachian | | | 7,108 | | | | 5,301 | | | 1,807 | | 34 | % |
Illinois Basin | | | 5,253 | | | | 3,762 | | | 1,491 | | 40 | % |
Ancillary | | | (4,842 | ) | | | (3,989 | ) | | (853 | ) | (21 | )% |
Total Adjusted EBITDA | | $ | 44,806 | | | $ | 52,240 | | $ | (7,434 | ) | (14 | )% |
Central Appalachian. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2010 decreased compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009, primarily due to a decrease of approximately 161,000 tons sold, offset by an increase in sales realization of $2.23 per ton and a $0.97 increase in cost per ton, resulting in a $1.26 per ton increase in profit margins.
Northern Appalachian. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was due to an increase in sales realization of $15.20 per ton offset by a $4.46 increase in cost per ton, resulting in increased profit margins of $10.74 per ton. Adjusted EBITDA also increased due to an increase of approximately 102,000 tons sold. Offsetting the increase in Adjusted EBITDA was a $10.0 million payment made in the second quarter of 2010 for the early termination of a coal supply agreement.
Illinois Basin. Adjusted EBITDA increased during the three months ended June 30, 2010 resulting from an increase in sales realization of $4.85 per ton and a $2.86 increase in cost per ton, resulting in a net increase in profit margins of $1.99 per ton, as well as an increase of approximately 40,000 tons sold.
29
Ancillary. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a decrease in profit margins of $7.96 per ton and a decrease of approximately 46,000 tons sold related to the expiration of brokered coal contracts, as well as to decreased shipments on various remaining contracts. Offsetting these decreases from our Ancillary segment was an increase related to the sale of a highwall mining machine during the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Coal sales revenues—Coal sales revenues are derived from sales of produced coal and brokered coal contracts. Coal sales revenues increased for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009, primarily due to an increase in sales realization of $4.49 per ton resulting from favorable pricing during the six months ended June 30, 2010. Offsetting the increase in sales realization was a 5% decrease in tons sold.
32
Central Appalachian. Coal sales revenues from our Central Appalachian segment for the six months ended June 30, 2010 decreased over the same period in 2009, primarily due to a 9% decrease in tons sold, largely driven by the expiration of certain coal supply agreements. Partially offsetting the decrease in tons sold was an increase in sales realization of $4.16 per ton, which was driven by higher average contract prices of our coal.
Northern Appalachian. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, our Northern Appalachian coal sales revenues increased compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009 as a result of increased sales realization of $8.45 per ton, as well as a 3% increase in tons sold as a result of increased participation in the spot market due to more favorable pricing of metallurgical coal.
Illinois Basin. The increase in coal sales revenues from our Illinois Basin segment for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to an increase in sales realization of $4.61 per ton, as well as a 9% increase in tons sold, primarily on long-term thermal coal supply contracts.
Ancillary. Our Ancillary segment’s coal sales revenues are comprised of coal sold under brokered coal contracts. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, our Ancillary coal sales revenues decreased 26%, primarily due to a 31% decrease in tons sold related to the expiration of certain coal supply agreements, as well as to decreased shipments on various remaining contracts. This decrease was partially offset by increased realization of $3.92 per ton sold, primarily the result of increased government imposition payments received during the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Freight and handling revenues—Freight and handling revenues represent reimbursement of freight and handling costs for certain shipments for which we initially pay the costs and are then reimbursed by the customer. Freight and handling revenues and costs increased for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009, primarily due to an increase in sales volumes on shipments with related freight and handling. Additionally, our subsidiary, ADDCAR, sold a highwall mining machine during the six months ended June 30, 2010, with the related shipping costs included in freight and handling. There was no comparable sale during the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Other revenues—The decrease in other revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily due to $7.9 million in payments received for the early termination of coal supply agreements and lost margin on pre-termination shipments, as well as a $7.7 million gain on the termination of a below-market contract during the six months ended June 30, 2009. There were no comparable transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2010. Further impacting the decrease in other revenues were decreases from a negotiated payment received related to a customer’s tax obligation and in contract mining revenues as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009. These decreases were partially offset by the sale of a highwall mining machine during the second quarter of 2010.

Cost of coal sales—For the six months ended June 30, 2010, our cost of coal sales decreased compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009, primarily as a result of a 5% decrease in tons sold, partially offset by a 3% increase in cost of coal sales per ton.
Central Appalachian. Cost of coal sales from our Central Appalachian segment decreased primarily due to a 9% decrease in tons sold. Offsetting the decrease in tons sold was an increase in cost of coal sales per ton from $56.39 per ton for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to $57.09 per ton for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in cost of coal sales per ton is primarily due to increases in labor costs, royalties, taxes and fees and benefit costs. Labor costs per ton increased primarily as a result of a change in our policy during the six months ended June 30, 2009 related to when employees are credited with vacation time. Royalties, taxes and fees increased on a per ton basis as a result of increased realization per ton sold and increased royalty rates on cert ain leased reserves, as well as increased severance tax obligations. Benefit costs increased on a per ton basis due to an increase in group insurance costs resulting from a significant increase in high-dollar claims and administrative fees. Partially offsetting the increase in cost per ton was a decrease in fuel, lubricants and chemicals as diesel fuel costs have declined as compared to the six months ending June 30, 2009, as well as a decrease due to fluctuations in the value of stockpile inventories.
Northern Appalachian. Our Northern Appalachian segment cost of coal sales increased due to an increase in cost of coal sales per ton from $47.26 per ton for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to $50.92 per ton for the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increase in cost per ton was primarily due to increases in labor costs, benefit costs and transportation costs. Labor costs increased primarily as a result of a change in our policy during the six months ended June 30, 2009 related to when employees are credited with vacation time. Benefit costs increased on a per ton basis due to an increase in group insurance resulting from a significant increase in high-dollar claims and administrative fees. Transportation costs increased on a per ton basis, primarily due to increased metallurgical coal sales which require additional trucking costs for processing and transfer to the loading facility. Further impacting the increase in cost per ton were increases in repairs and maintenance and contract labor costs. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in fuel, lubricants and chemicals as diesel fuel costs have declined as compared to the six months ending June 30, 2009.
Illinois Basin. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, cost of coal sales from our Illinois Basin segment increased due to an increase in cost per ton from $26.83 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 to $29.42 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and a 9% increase in tons sold. Cost of coal sales per ton increased due to increases in roof control and ventilation costs, benefit costs, royalties, taxes and fees, operating supplies and site maintenance and repairs and maintenance. Roof control and ventilation costs per ton increased primarily as a result of purchasing more costly materials required for producing coal in aging areas of the mine. Benefit costs increased due to an increase in group insurance costs resulting from a significant increase i n high-dollar claims and administrative fees and royalties increased as a result of increased realization per ton sold and increased royalty rates on certain leased reserves. Operating supplies and site maintenance costs and repairs and maintenance costs increased as a result of adverse mining conditions and an additional mining section being added in June 2009. This section has not reached full production and additional resources are needed to allow for continued production concurrent with the addition of a new slope entrance.
Ancillary. Cost of coal sales from our Ancillary segment decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2010 due to a 31% decrease in tons sold related to the expiration of certain brokered coal contracts, partially offset by an $11.40 increase in cost per ton, primarily a result of increased government imposition payments made during the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009.
34
Cost of other revenues—For the six months ended June 30, 2010, cost of other revenues increased primarily due to an increase in cost of goods sold due to the sale of a highwall mining machine during the second quarter of 2010, as well as to a $10.0 million payment made for the early termination of a coal supply agreement. Partially offsetting the increase in cost of other revenues was a decrease in labor and benefit costs as a result of the termination of contract mining contracts.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization—Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense remained relatively consistent compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Selling, general and administrative expenses—Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 decreased primarily due to decreased legal and professional fees and taxes and licenses costs.
Gain on sale of assets—Gain on sale of assets increased for the six months ended June 30, 2010 due to a $3.5 million gain related to the sale of a highwall mining system previously used in operations, partially offset by a $2.9 million gain on the sale of a loadout facility during the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Adjusted EBITDA by reportable segment
Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before deducting interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, loss on extinguishment of debt and noncontrolling interest. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because it is an important supplemental measure of our performance used by our chief operating decision maker in such areas as capital investment and allocation of resources. Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to its most comparable GAAP measure on page 37 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Note 14 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
The following table depicts Adjusted EBITDA by reportable segment for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:

Central Appalachian. Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2010 increased compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009 primarily due to an increase in sales realization of $4.16 per ton and a $0.70 increase in cost per ton, resulting in a $3.46 per ton increase in profit margins, offset by a decrease of approximately 457,000 tons sold.
Northern Appalachian. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was due to a $10.0 million payment made during the six months ended June 30, 2010 for the early termination of a coal supply agreement, offset by an increase in sales realization of $8.45 per ton and a $3.67 increase in cost per ton, resulting in increased profit margins of $4.78 per ton, and an increase of approximately 63,000 tons sold.
Illinois Basin. Adjusted EBITDA increased during the six months ended June 30, 2010 resulting from an increase in sales realization of $4.61 per ton and a $2.59 increase in cost per ton, resulting in a net increase in profit margins of $2.02 per ton, as well as an increase of approximately 101,000 tons sold.
35
Ancillary. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a decrease in profit margins of $7.48 per ton and a decrease of approximately 129,000 tons sold related to the expiration of brokered coal contracts, as well as to decreased shipments on various remaining contracts. Further contributing to the decrease from our Ancillary segment was a decrease of $7.9 million received in the settlement of contract terminations during the six months ended June 30, 2009. Offsetting these decreases was an increase related to the sale of a highwall mining machine during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our business is capital intensive and requires substantial capital expenditures for, among other things, purchasing and upgrading equipment used in developing and mining our reserves, as well as remaining in compliance with environmental laws and regulations. Our principal liquidity requirements are to finance our coal production, fund capital expenditures and service our debt and reclamation obligations. We may also engage in acquisitions from time to time. Our primary sources of liquidity to meet these needs are cash on hand, cash flows from operations, borrowings under our asset-based loan facility and equipment financing arrangements.
We believe the principal indicators of our liquidity are our cash position and remaining availability under our asset-based loan facility. As of June 30, 2010, our available liquidity was $238.6 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $205.3 million and $33.3 million available for borrowing under our $125.0 million asset-based loan facility. Total debt represented 33% of our total capitalization at June 30, 2010. Our total capitalization represents our current and long-term debt combined with our total stockholders’ equity.
In December 2009, we entered into a series of privately negotiated agreements pursuant to which we issued a total of 18,660,550 shares of our common stock in exchange for $63.5 million aggregate principal amount of our 9.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2012 (the “2012 Convertible Notes”) during December 2009. One of the exchange agreements, as amended, provided for closing of additional exchanges on each of January 11, 2010 and January 19, 2010 for exchanges occurring in 2010. Subsequent to December 31, 2009, we issued a total of 6,198,668 shares of our common stock in exchange for $22.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2012 Convertible Notes.
37
Under a universal shelf registration statement, which became effective January 15, 2010, we have the remaining capacity to offer and sell, from time to time, up to $175.7 million aggregate value of securities, including common stock and debt securities. This registration statement allows us to opportunistically access the capital markets based on our liquidity and capital needs subject to favorable market and other conditions.
Pursuant to this shelf registration statement, in March 2010, we completed public offerings of 24,444,365 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a public offering price of $4.47 per share, $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Convertible Notes”) and $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.125% Senior Secured Second-Priority Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Senior Notes”).
We used the net proceeds from the Common Stock and 2017 Convertible Notes offerings to finance a cash tender offer to repurchase $114.5 million aggregate principal amount of our 2012 Convertible Notes. The repurchase closed on April 6, 2010. We used net proceeds from the 2018 Senior Notes offering to finance a cash tender offer and consent solicitation to repurchase $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 10.25% Senior Notes due 2014 (the “2014 Senior Notes”), $169.1 million of which closed on March 22, 2010, $50,000 of which closed on April 5, 2010 and $5.9 million of which closed on July 15, 2010. The remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.
We also secured a new four-year $125.0 million asset-based loan facility (the “ABL Loan Facility”) to replace our prior revolving credit facility which was set to expire in June 2011. The ABL Loan Facility, which provides $25.0 million in additional borrowing capacity and contains minimal financial covenants, such as a fixed-charge ratio and a capital expenditure limitation if our liquidity falls below certain thresholds, matures in February 2014. Any available borrowing capacity is available for loans or the issuance of letters of credit. The ABL Loan Facility is expected to be used primarily for issuing letters of credit that collateralize our reclamation bonds. The ABL Loan Facility has an early acceleration provision if more than $20.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2012 Convertible Notes re mains outstanding as of January 31, 2012. Accordingly, we intend to repurchase an additional amount of the 2012 Convertible Notes so that no more than $20.0 million remains outstanding as of that date. Subject to certain conditions, at any time prior to maturity, we will be able to elect to increase the size of the ABL Loan Facility, up to a maximum of $200.0 million. Availability under the ABL Loan Facility is determined using a borrowing base calculation.
We currently expect our total capital expenditures will be between $105.0 million to $115.0 million in 2010, substantially all of which will be for equipment and infrastructure at our existing operations, as well as for the development of our Tygart #1 complex. Cash paid for capital expenditures was approximately $41.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We have funded and expect to continue to fund these capital expenditures from cash on hand, internal operations and equipment financing arrangements, such as our $50.0 million equipment revolving credit facility with Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation. We believe that these sources of capital will be sufficient to fund our anticipated capital expenditures through the second quarter of 2011, including initial development of our Tygart #1 complex. To the extent necessary, management believes it has flexibility on the timing of these cash requirements by managing the pace of capital spending. In addition, management may from time to time raise additional capital through the disposition of non-core assets, engaging in sale-leaseback transactions or utilizing our shelf registration statement. The need and timing of seeking additional capital in the future will be subject to market conditions.
Approximately $19.3 million of cash paid for capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was attributable to our Central Appalachian operations. This amount represents investments of approximately $6.7 million in our Beckley mining complex and $5.7 million at Knott County. We paid approximately $10.5 million at our Northern Appalachian operations in the six months ended June 30, 2010, approximately $3.7 million of which was for investments at our Sentinel complex. Expenditures of approximately $10.8 million for our Illinois Basin operations were for development of a new mine portal and ongoing operations improvements. Approximately $0.6 million of cash paid for capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was within our Ancillary segment, primarily for the upgrading of highwall mining machinery.
38
More stringent regulatory requirements imposed upon the mining industry demand substantial capital expenditures to meet safety standards. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we spent $1.3 million to meet these standards and anticipate spending an additional $5.9 million for the remainder of 2010. As a result of a recent explosion at a competitor’s mine, additional safety requirements may increase our capital and operating costs. See Item 1A —“Risk Factors.”
In addition, in March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“PPACA”) and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (“HCERA” or, collectively with PPACA, the “Health Care Reform Act”) were enacted into law. As a result, we recorded a one-time, non-cash income tax charge of $0.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010 to reflect the impact of this change. The Health Care Reform Act also includes a provision to remove lifetime caps on medical plans. Our retiree medical plan has such a cap and, as a result of the Health Care Reform Act, we remeasured our postretirement benefit obligation resulting in an additional liability of $6.3 million. The prior service cost associated with the plan change will be amortized over the average remaining working life of the related employees. We incurred additional expense of $0.4 million related to the remeasurement. The Health Care Reform Act also amended previous legislation related to coal workers’ pneumoconiosis (black lung), providing an automatic extension of awarded lifetime benefits to surviving spouses and providing changes to the legal criteria used to assess and award claims. These new provisions of the Health Care Reform Act may increase the number of future claims that are awarded benefits. We do not have sufficient claims experience since the Health Care Reform Act was passed to estimate the impact on our June 30, 2010 black lung liability of the potential increase in the number of future claims that are awarded benefits. An increase in benefits awarded could have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities was $69.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, an increase of $30.6 million from the same period in 2009. This increase is attributable to a $34.6 million increase due to the change in net operating assets and liabilities, offset by a decrease in net income of $4.0 million, after adjustment for non-cash charges.
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, net cash used in investing activities was $28.6 million compared to $32.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, $41.2 million of cash was paid for capital expenditures at existing mining and ancillary operations compared to $35.7 million in the same period of 2009. Additionally, cash flows from investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 included $8.9 million due to the withdrawal of restricted cash previously pledged as collateral.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $71.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We received proceeds from our 2017 Convertible Notes, 2018 Senior Notes and Common Stock offerings of $416.0 million. We used $320.1 million of these proceeds to repurchase a portion of our 2014 Senior Notes and 2012 Convertible Notes. Additionally, we made payments of $11.7 million on our short- and long-term debt obligations. We also incurred additional finance costs of $14.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 related to the debt offerings and our asset-based loan facility. Net cash used in financing activities of $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was due to repayments on our short- and long-term debt of $12.3 million and deferred finance costs of $0.6 million paid to amend our credit facility. O ffsetting these payments were borrowings on our long-term debt of $9.1 million used to finance equipment.

Credit Facility and Long-Term Debt Obligations
As of June 30, 2010 our total long-term indebtedness consisted of the following (in thousands):
| | June 30, 2010 | |
9.125% Senior Notes, due 2018, net of debt discount of $1,370 | | $ | 198,630 | |

Other
As a regular part of our business, we review opportunities for, and engage in discussions and negotiations concerning, the acquisition of coal mining assets and interests in coal mining companies, and acquisitions of, or combinations with, coal mining companies. When we believe that these opportunities are consistent with our growth plans and our acquisition criteria, we will make bids or proposals and/or enter into letters of intent and other similar agreements, which may be binding or nonbinding, that are customarily subject to a variety of conditions and usually permit us to terminate the discussions and any related agreement if, among other things, we are not satisfied with the results of our due diligence investigation. Any acquisition opportunities we pursue could materially affect our liquidity and capital reso urces and may require us to incur indebtedness, seek equity capital or both. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
Additionally, we have other long-term liabilities, including, but not limited to, mine reclamation and closure costs, below-market coal supply agreements and “black lung” costs, and some of our subsidiaries have long-term liabilities relating to retiree health and other employee benefits.
Our ability to meet our long-term debt obligations will depend upon our future performance, which in turn, will depend upon general economic, financial and business conditions, along with competition, legislation and regulation — factors that are largely beyond our control. We believe that cash flow from operations, together with other available sources of funds, including additional borrowings under the ABL Loan Facility and equipment credit facility, will be adequate at least through the second quarter of 2011 for making required payments of principal and interest on our indebtedness and for funding anticipated capital expenditures and working capital requirements. To the extent necessary, management believes it has some flexibility to manage its cash requi rements by controlling the pace and timing of capital spending, utilizing availability under its credit facilities, reducing certain costs and idling low-margin operations. In addition, management may from time to time raise additional capital through the disposition of non-core assets, engaging in sale-leaseback transactions or utilizing our shelf registration statement. However, we cannot assure you that our operating results, cash flow and capital resources will be sufficient for repayment of our debt obligations in the future.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and General to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q related to recently issued accounting pronouncements, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. These estimates and assumptions are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements. Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year-end. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results that can be expected for the full year. Please refer to the section entitled “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” of Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 for a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.
| Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
Market price risk. We are exposed to market price risk in the normal course of mining and selling coal. We manage this risk through the use of long-term coal supply agreements, rather than through the use of derivative instruments. As of June 30, 2010, approximately 97% of our 2010 projected sales are committed and priced. Any committed and unpriced projected sales are subject to future market price volatility.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evalua tion of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures has been carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our system of internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
See Note 12—Commitments and Contingencies-Legal Matters to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relating to certain legal proceedings, which information is incorporated herein by reference.
Listed below are risk factors that have been revised or added to those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.
Recent serious accidents within the mining industry may result in new or revised mine safety regulations that may increase our capital and operating costs and decrease our productivity.
The April 5, 2010 explosion that caused fatal injuries to 29 workers at a competitor’s mine may spur the enactment of additional, or modification of existing, federal and/or state mine safety laws and regulations. Federal and West Virginia authorities have announced special inspections of coal mines for, among other safety concerns, the accumulation of coal dust and the proper ventilation of gases, such as methane. In addition, both the federal government and the state of West Virginia have announced that they are considering changes to mine safety rules and regulations, which could potentially result in or require additional or enhanced safety equipment, more frequent mine inspections, stricter enforcement practices and enhanced reporting requirements. Such rules, laws or regulations may require changes to ou r mining practices, which may increase our capital and operating costs and decrease our productivity, which would adversely affect our results of operations.
We must obtain governmental permits and approvals for mining operations, which can be a costly and time-consuming process, can result in restrictions on our operations and is subject to litigation that may delay or prevent us from obtaining necessary permits.
Our operations are principally regulated under surface mining permits issued pursuant to the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act and state counterpart laws. Such permits, which are issued for terms of five years with the right of successive renewal, grant approval for surface mining or the surface effects of underground mining. Separately, the Clean Water Act (“CWA”) requires permits for operations that discharge water or place fill material into waters of the United States. Water discharges are authorized under CWA Section 402 permits typically issued by state regulatory agencies under U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) oversight while valley fills, refuse impoundments and other types of disturbances in streams are authorized under CWA Section 404 permits issued by the Army Corps of Engine ers (the “ACOE”). The EPA has the authority, which it has rarely exercised until recently, to object to permits issued by the ACOE. While the ACOE is authorized to issue permits even when the EPA has objections, the EPA does have the ability to override the ACOE decision and veto the permits.
A Memorandum of Understanding executed on June 11, 2009 between the EPA, the ACOE and the Department of the Interior provided a blueprint for proposed changes to the regulation of Appalachian coal mining. The ACOE announced its intention to suspend the use of Nationwide Permit 21 (“NWP 21”) for surface mining activities in Appalachia while NWP 21 is modified to prohibit its use to authorize discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States for surface coal mining activities in the Appalachian region of the following states: Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia; and on June 18, 2010, the ACOE published a notice immediately suspending NWP 21 in these six states, pending further evaluation of the modification of NWP 21, which expires in 2012. The Department of the Interior’s Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (“OSMRE”) stated that it intended to revise certain rules to afford greater protections to streams and to revisit its regulation of surface mine restoration. The EPA announced an enhanced coordination procedure for the review of all pending CWA Section 404 permit applications for mining in Appalachia.
42
In September 2009, the EPA announced 79 pending CWA Section 404 permit applications for Appalachian coal mining warranted further review because of continuing concerns about water quality and/or regulatory compliance issues. The list included four of our permit applications, including the permit application for our Jennie Creek surface mine. The failure to issue a Section 404 permit would prevent the planned commencement of the Jennie Creek surface mine. One of our four permit applications was withdrawn following our evaluation of other spoil disposal options. Operating alternatives to the other two applications under further review exist, although the alternatives are less economical than the proposed projects. While the EPA has stated that its identification of these 79 permits does not constitute a determination that the mining involved cannot be permitted under the CWA and does not constitute a final recommendation from the EPA to the ACOE on these projects, it is unclear how long the further review will take for our permits or what the final outcome will be. Excessive delays in permitting may require adjustments of our production budget and mining plans.
The OSMRE published an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (“ANPRM”) in November 2009 regarding the alternatives under consideration for revision of its Stream Buffer Zone rule which solicits public comment on changes to mining regulatory programs that are more restrictive than indicated by the ANPRM. If any of these or other more restrictive stream protection alternatives are adopted, such added requirements could impact coal mining operations, especially surface mining in Appalachia, by reducing locations where coal mining operations can be conducted. Such measures could impact the cost and productivity of mining and may affect the economic viability of surface mining certain reserves.
On April 1, 2010, the EPA released a guidance document entitled “Improving EPA Review of Appalachian Surface Coal Mining Operations under the Clean Water Act, National Environmental Policy Act, and the Environmental Justice Executive Order.” This guidance, if applied by states within this six-state region (KY, OH, PA, TN, VA and WV), will result in the imposition of exceedingly stringent water quality-based limitations in CWA Section 402 wastewater discharge permits and CWA Section 404 dredge and fill permits. Specifically, a maximum conductivity limitation of 500 microSiemens per centimeter is not considered attainable for water discharges from most mining operations, including underground mines. This guidance may cause delays in our ability to obtain permits, may increase our operating and capital costs to compl y with permits or, may prevent our ability to obtain permits that will allow us to conduct certain operations.
Additionally, certain operations (particularly preparation plants) have permits issued pursuant to the Clean Air Act and state counterpart laws allowing and controlling the discharge of air pollutants. Regulatory authorities exercise considerable discretion in the timing of permit issuance. Requirements imposed by these authorities may be costly and time consuming and may result in delays in, or in some instances preclude, the commencement or continuation of development or production operations. Adverse outcomes in lawsuits challenging permits or failure to comply with applicable regulations could result in the suspension, denial or revocation of required permits, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
43
We are subject to various legal and governmental proceedings which may have a material adverse effect on our business.
We are parties to a number of legal proceedings incidental to normal business activities, including several complaints related to the accident at our Sago mine, a breach of contract complaint by one of our customers related to the idling of our Sycamore No. 2 mine and a class action lawsuit that alleges that the registration statements filed in connection with our initial public offering contained false and misleading statements, and that investors relied upon those securities filings and suffered damages as a result. Some actions brought against us from time to time may have merit. There is always the potential that an individual matter or the aggregation of many matters could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 12—Commitments and Contingencies-Legal Matters to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Although we strive to maintain compliance with all applicable laws at all times, from time to time we receive citations, orders and notices of violation from applicable governmental authorities, particularly those governing health, safety and the environment. When this occurs, we attempt to abate immediately the condition cited, whether or not we agree as to whether it constitutes a violation. When we receive citations, orders or notices of violation, we either pay the assessed penalties, or if we dispute the fact of such alleged violation or the amount of the penalty relative to such violation, we contest such matter. While such matters typically would not be expected to have a material adverse effect, they could in the future have a material adverse effect on our business. None of our mines has ever received a notic e of a potential pattern of violations. If one or more of our operations, however, were placed on a pattern of violations by the regulatory authorities, such designation and the enhanced enforcement regime that such designation entails, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
New government regulations as a result of recent mining accidents are increasing our costs.
Both the federal and state governments impose stringent health and safety standards on the mining industry. Regulations are comprehensive and affect nearly every aspect of mining operations, including training of mine personnel, mining procedures, blasting, the equipment used in mining operations and other matters. As a result of past mining accidents, additional federal and state health and safety regulations have been adopted that have increased operating costs and affect our mining operations. State and federal legislation has been adopted that, among other things, requires additional oxygen supplies, communication and tracking devices, refuge chambers, stronger seal construction and monitoring standards and mine rescue teams. The legislation also raised the maximum civil penalty for certain violations of federal m ine safety regulations to $220,000 from $60,000. We expect that increased efforts to expand investigations and types of violations, as well as increased penalties for non-compliance will increase our costs related to worker health and safety. Additionally, we could be subject to civil penalties and other penalties if we violate mining regulations.
44
Our operations may substantially impact the environment or cause exposure to hazardous materials, and our properties may have significant environmental contamination, any of which could result in material liabilities to us.
We use, and in the past have used, hazardous materials and generate, and in the past have generated, hazardous wastes. In addition, many of the locations that we own or operate were used for coal mining and/or involved hazardous materials usage either before or after we were involved with those locations. We may be subject to claims under federal and state statutes and/or common law doctrines for personal injury, property damages, natural resource damages and other damages, as well as the investigation and clean up of soil, surface water, groundwater and other media. Such claims may arise, for example, out of current or former activities at sites that we own or operate currently, as well as at sites that we or predecessor entities owned or operated in the past, and at contaminated sites that have always been owned or operated by third parties. Our liability for such claims may be joint and several, so that we may be held responsible for more than our share of the remediation costs or other damages, or even for the entire share. We have from time to time been subject to claims arising out of contamination at our own and other facilities and may incur such liabilities in the future.
We use, and in the past have used, alkaline coal combustion byproducts (“CCBs”) during the reclamation process at certain of our mines to aid in preventing the formation of acid mine drainage and we have agreed to dispose of CCBs in some instances. Use of CCBs on a mined area is subject to regulatory approval and is allowed only after it is proved to be a beneficial use. The EPA has issued a proposed regulation discussing potential regulatory options for CCBs generated by electricity generators under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, one of which is the regulation of CCBs as hazardous waste. This proposed rule contains an exemption, the scope of which is not completely clear, for the use of CCBs as minefills at coal mines, and the EPA has stated that it will defer to the OSMRE to undertake regula tory action. If in the future CCBs were to be classified as a hazardous waste or if more stringent disposal requirements were to be otherwise established for these wastes, we may be required to cease using or disposing of CCBs at certain of our mines and find a replacement alkaline material for this purpose, which may add to the cost of mine reclamation or decrease our revenue generated from disposal contracts with certain of our customers.
We maintain extensive coal slurry impoundments at a number of our mines. Such impoundments are subject to stringent regulation. Slurry impoundments maintained by other coal mining operations have been known to fail, releasing large volumes of coal slurry. Structural failure of an impoundment can result in extensive damage to the environment and natural resources, such as bodies of water that the coal slurry reaches, as well as liability for related personal injuries and property damages and injuries to wildlife. Some of our impoundments overlie mined out areas, which can pose a heightened risk of failure and of damages arising out of failure, unless preventive measures are implemented in a timely manner. We have commenced such measures to modify our method of operation at one surface impoundment containing slurry wast es in order to reduce the risk of releases to the environment from it, a process that has been incorporated into the construction sequence of the impoundment and thus will take several years to complete. If one of our impoundments were to fail, we could be subject to substantial claims for the resulting environmental contamination and associated liability, as well as for fines and penalties.
These and other impacts that our operations may have on the environment, as well as exposures to hazardous substances or wastes associated with our operations and environmental conditions at our properties, could result in costs and liabilities that would materially and adversely affect us.
45
New and pending laws regulating the environmental effects of emissions of greenhouse gases could impose significant additional costs to doing business for the coal industry and/or a shift in consumption to non-fossil fuels.
Greenhouse gas emissions have increasingly become the subject of a large amount of international, national, regional, state and local attention. Future regulation of greenhouse gas could occur pursuant to future U.S. treaty obligations, statutory or regulatory changes under the Clean Air Act or new climate change legislation, such as The American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, which was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives. Increased efforts to control greenhouse gas emissions, could result in reduced demand for coal if electric power generators switch to lower carbon sources of fuel.
Coal-fired power plants can generate large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions, and, as a result, have become subject to challenge, including the opposition to any new coal-fired power plants or capacity expansions of existing plants, by environmental groups seeking to curb the environmental effects of emissions of greenhouse gases. Various legislation has been and will continue to be introduced in Congress which reflects a wide variety of strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. These strategies include mandating decreases in greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired power plants, instituting a tax on greenhouse gas emissions, banning the construction of new coal-fired power plants that are not equipped with technology to capture and sequester carbon dioxide, encouraging the growth of ren ewable energy sources (such as wind or solar power) or nuclear for electricity production, and financing the development of advanced coal burning plants which have greatly reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Most states in the United States have taken steps to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. Under the Clean Air Act, the EPA has published its finding that greenhouse gases pose a threat to public health and declared that a combination of six greenhouse gases constitutes an air pollutant. The EPA has adopted regulations that would impact new or modified major stationary sources of greenhouse gas emissions, including coal-fired power plants, beginning January 2, 2011. Emissions of greenhouse gas emissions from coal mining have come under increased regulatory attention, as the EPA has extended its greenhouse gas emissions reporting rules to underground coal mines and has received a petition to adopt regulations to restrict greenhouse gas emissions, including methane, and other pollutants from surface, undergroun d and abandoned coal mines.
These or additional state or federal laws or regulations regarding greenhouse gas emissions or other actions to limit greenhouse gas emissions could result in fuel switching, from coal to other fuel sources, by electric generators. Political and regulatory uncertainty over future emissions controls have been cited as major factors in decisions by power companies to postpone new coal-fired power plants. If measures such as these or other similar measures, like controls on methane emissions from coal mines, are ultimately imposed on the coal industry by federal or state governments or pursuant to international treaty, our operating costs may be materially and adversely affected. Similarly, alternative fuels (non-fossil fuels) could become more attractive than coal in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which could result in a reduction in the demand for coal and, therefore, our revenues. Public concerns regarding climate change could, independent of regulatory developments, adversely affect our reputation and reduce demand for our coal.
