Basis of Presentation	'
	Note 1—Basis of Presentation
	Walter Energy, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the "Company"), is a leading producer and exporter of metallurgical coal for the global steel industry from underground and surface mines with mineral reserves located in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. The Company also extracts, processes, markets and/or possesses mineral reserves for thermal coal and anthracite coal, as well as produces metallurgical coke and coal bed methane gas.
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in the Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The balance sheet at December 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in the Company's 2012 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K.
	During the first quarter of 2013, the Company determined that the cash dividend declared and paid in the fourth quarter of 2012 should have been reported as a reduction to the capital in excess of par value component of stockholders' equity rather than retained earnings as the Company was in an accumulated deficit position. The change of $7.8 million was included in the first quarter of 2013 results by reclassifying the amount from accumulated deficit to capital in excess of par value. Management has determined that the effect of this classification change was immaterial to prior reporting periods affected as the change had no effect on total stockholders' equity.
	During the first quarter of 2013, the Company began to classify certain administrative costs as cost of sales as opposed to selling, general and administrative costs as it determined that these costs are directly supportive of operations. If this classification of these costs had been retrospectively applied, selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 would have been $5.7 million and $19.1 million, respectively, less and cost of sales would have been increased by similar amounts. Prior period balances have not been restated as management has determined that the effect of this classification change was immaterial to prior reporting periods. The change in classification has no effect on net income.
	During the second quarter of 2013, the Company identified an immaterial cumulative error related to the mineral interest value of Western Coal Corp. The related correction resulted in an $8.4 million dollar reduction to depreciation and depletion expense in the second quarter of 2013. Prior period balances have not been restated as management has determined that the effect was not material to the current or prior reporting periods.

Restructuring and Asset Impairment	'
	Note 2—Restructuring and Asset Impairment
	In response to the current depressed price environment for thermal coal and geological challenges within the Company's North River mine, the Company announced plans to close the mine in 2013 approximately nine months earlier than the previously expected end of mine life of 2014. In connection with the accelerated closure, the Company renegotiated an unfavorably priced coal sales contract in the second quarter of 2013 to reduce the total tons committed for sale from this mine. The renegotiation allows the closure of this mine in the fourth quarter of 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recognized a gain of approximately $17.0 million due to the release of the related below market contract liability that was obtained through the acquisition of the North River mine. The $17.0 million benefit was partially offset by asset impairment charges of approximately $8.0 million, all related to the accelerated closure of the North River mine.
	The Company also incurred $10.7 million of costs related to the curtailment of the Willow Creek mine during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

	Note 4—Income Taxes
	The Company estimates its annual effective tax rate based on projected financial income for the full year at the end of each interim reporting period unless projected financial income for the full year is close to break-even, in which case the annual effective tax rate could distort the income tax provision for an interim period. When this happens, the Company calculates the interim income tax provision using actual year-to-date financial results for certain jurisdictions. This method results in an income tax provision based solely on the year-to-date financial taxable income or loss for those jurisdictions. In both cases, the tax effect of unusual or infrequently occurring items, including effects of changes in tax laws or rates, are reported in the interim period in which they occur.
	For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the income tax benefit was determined based on the annual effective tax rate method. The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $132.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to an income tax benefit of $28.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in the income tax benefit year-over-year was primarily attributable to an increase in pre-tax operating losses, excluding the 2012 non-deductible goodwill impairment charge, for the current period as compared to the prior year. The 2013 and 2012 income tax provisions reflect the benefits of the Canadian and U.K. Operations which are taxed at statutory rates lower than the U.S. rate and the effects of additional tax losses related to foreign financing activities. The income tax provisions for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 also reflect statutory depletion deductions from the Alabama mining operations.
	The current year provision for income taxes includes a benefit of $11.2 million attributable to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on foreign deferred tax liabilities. Additionally, the income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 includes a non-cash deferred income tax charge of $13.7 million to reflect the revaluation of our Canadian and U.K. Operations deferred tax liabilities as the result of changes to the statutory corporate tax rates in each jurisdiction and a non-cash deferred income tax charge of $10.3 million related to foreign financing activities.

	9.50% Senior Secured Notes due 2019
	On September 27, 2013, the Company issued $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.50% senior secured notes due October 15, 2019 (the "2019 Notes"). The 2019 Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of our current and future wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries that from time to time guarantees any of our indebtedness or any indebtedness of any of our restricted subsidiaries. The 2019 Notes and related guarantees are secured on a first priority basis by substantially all of the property and assets of the Company and the guarantors. Interest on the 2019 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on April 15, 2014.
	The Company used $245.7 million of the proceeds from the 2019 Notes to extinguish $250.0 million of Term Loan A debt through a Dutch Auction process. The gain on partial extinguishment of Term Loan A debt of $4.3 million is included in other income (loss) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, the Company expensed $5.2 million of previously capitalized debt issuance costs as a result of the early extinguishment of the Term Loan A debt. The write-off of debt issuance costs is included in interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	The terms of the 2019 Notes provide that at any time prior to October 15, 2016, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings, at a redemption price of 109.5% of the aggregate principal amount. The Company may redeem the 2019 Notes, in whole or in part, prior to October 15, 2016, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Notes plus a "make-whole" premium. The Company may redeem the 2019 Notes, in whole or in part at redemption prices equal to 107.125% for the twelve months commencing October 15, 2016, 102.375% for the twelve months commencing October 15, 2017 and 100% beginning on October 15, 2018. Upon the occurrence of a change of control, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the 2019 Notes, the Company will be required to offer to repurchase each holder's 2019 Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount.
	8.50% Senior Notes due 2021
	On March 27, 2013, the Company issued $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.50% senior notes due April 15, 2021 (the "2021 Notes"). The 2021 Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, by each of our current and future wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries that from time to time guarantees any of our indebtedness or any indebtedness of our restricted subsidiaries. Interest on the 2021 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on October 15, 2013.
	A portion of the proceeds from the 2021 Notes was used to repurchase $250.0 million of Term Loan A and B debt on a pro-rata basis. The Company expensed $6.0 million of previously capitalized debt issuance costs as a result of the early extinguishment of a portion of the Term Loan A and B debt. The write-off of debt issuance costs is included in interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	At any time prior to April 15, 2016, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings, at a redemption price of 108.50% of the aggregate principal amount. The Company may redeem the 2021 Notes, in whole or in part, and prior to April 15, 2017, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes plus a "make-whole" premium. The Company may redeem the 2021 Notes, in whole or in part at redemption prices equal to 104.25% for the twelve months commencing April 15, 2017, 102.125% for the twelve months commencing April 15, 2018 and 100% beginning on April 15, 2019. Upon the occurrence of a change of control, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the 2021 Notes, the Company will be required to offer to repurchase each holder's 2021 Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount.
	Credit Agreement Amendment
	On July 23, 2013, the Company entered into an amendment (the "Fifth Amendment") to the 2011 Credit Agreement dated as of April 1, 2011 (as amended), among the Company, the various lenders, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. as administrative agent, and other agents named therein. The Fifth Amendment provides for, among other things (1) increased interest margins of 1.00% from their previous existing levels; (2) a less restrictive interest expense coverage ratio and suspension of compliance requirements until March 31, 2015; (3) a less restrictive senior secured leverage ratio and suspension of compliance requirements until June 30, 2014; (4) an additional minimum liquidity covenant of $225.0 million that applies at the end of each fiscal quarter through June 30, 2014 and at any time thereafter when the senior secured leverage ratio is greater than 5.50:1.00; (5) an additional capital expenditures covenant limiting capital expenditures to $175.0 million in 2013 and $200.0 million in 2014 with a potential that up to $20.0 million in unused 2013 capital spending may be carried forward and utilized to increase the 2014 capital spending limit up to $220.0 million; (6) additional flexibility for the Company to issue additional unsecured debt, subject to 100% of the net proceeds of any such incurrence of debt in excess of $250 million be used to repay term loans then outstanding under the Credit Agreement; and (7) a restriction on cash dividends allowed in any fiscal quarter when the secured leverage ratio exceeds 4.50:1.00.

	Stock awards represent the weighted average number of shares of common stock issuable on the exercise of dilutive employee stock options and vesting of restricted stock units, less the number of shares of common stock which could have been purchased with the proceeds from the exercise of such stock awards. In periods of net loss, the number of shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share is the same as basic earnings per share; therefore, the effect of dilutive securities is zero for such periods. The weighted average number of stock options and non-vested shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 totaling 675,216 and 291,517, respectively, were excluded from the calculation above because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

	Income Tax Litigation
	On December 27, 1989, the Company and most of its U.S. subsidiaries each filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Proceedings") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The Company emerged from bankruptcy on March 17, 1995 (the "Effective Date") pursuant to the Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization dated as of December 9, 1994, as modified on March 1, 1995 (as so modified the "Consensual Plan"). Despite the confirmation and effectiveness of the Consensual Plan, the Bankruptcy Court continues to have jurisdiction over, among other things, the resolution of disputed prepetition claims against the Company and other matters that may arise in connection with or related to the Consensual Plan, including claims related to federal income taxes.
	In connection with the U.S. Bankruptcy Proceedings, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") filed a proof of claim in the Bankruptcy Court (the "Proof of Claim") for a substantial amount of taxes, interest and penalties with respect to fiscal years ended August 31, 1983 through May 31, 1994. The Company filed an adversary proceeding in the Bankruptcy Court disputing the Proof of Claim (the "Adversary Proceeding") and the various issues have been litigated in the Bankruptcy Court. An opinion was issued by the Bankruptcy Court in June 2010 as to the remaining disputed issues. The Bankruptcy Court instructed both parties to submit a final order addressing all issues that have been litigated for the tax years 1983 through 1995 in the Adversary Proceeding by late August 2010. At the request of both parties, the Bankruptcy Court granted an extension of time of 90 days from the initial submission date to submit the final order. Additional extensions of time to submit the proposed final order were granted in November 2010, February 2011, May 2011, September 2011, January 2013, and May 2013. At the request of the Internal Revenue Service, in May 2013 the Bankruptcy Court granted an additional extension of time until November 14, 2013 to submit the final order.
	The amounts initially asserted by the Proof of Claim do not reflect the subsequent resolution of various issues through settlements or concessions by the parties. The Company believes that any financial exposure with respect to those issues that have not been resolved or settled in the Proof of Claim is limited to interest and possible penalties and the amount of tax assessed has been offset by tax reductions in future years. All of the issues in the Proof of Claim, which have not been settled or conceded, have been litigated before the Bankruptcy Court and are subject to appeal but only at the conclusion of the entire Adversary Proceeding.
	The IRS completed its audit of the Company's federal income tax returns for the years ended May 31, 2000 through December 31, 2005. The IRS issued 30-Day Letters to the Company in June 2010, proposing changes to tax for these tax years. The Company believes its tax filing positions have substantial merit and filed a formal protest with the IRS within the prescribed 30-day time limit for those issues which have not been previously settled or conceded. The IRS filed a rebuttal to the Company's formal protest and the case was assigned to the Appeals Division of the IRS. The Appeals Division convened a hearing on March 8, 2011 and heard arguments from both parties as to issues not settled or conceded for the 2000 through 2005 audit period. As of September 30, 2013, a final resolution has not been reached with the Appeals Division pertaining to these matters. The disputed issues in this audit period are similar to the issues remaining in the Proof of Claim.
	In the second quarter of 2012, the IRS completed its audit of the Company's federal income tax returns for the years 2006 through 2008 and proposed adjustments to tax for these periods. The IRS issued a 30-Day Letter with proposed adjustments and the Company responded to the IRS within the prescribed 30-day time limit. The proposed adjustments are similar to issues in the prior Proof of Claim and included a proposed adjustment to a worthless stock deduction reported in the Company's 2008 federal income tax return. In the third quarter of 2012, the Company received notification from the IRS that the audit of the 2006 through 2008 tax years had been reopened for further review. The IRS issued a revised IRS Appeals Transmittal Letter in April 2013 conceding the proposed adjustment to the worthless stock deduction. As of September 30, 2013, a final resolution has not been reached with the Appeals Division pertaining to the remaining disputed matters. The remaining disputed issues in this audit period are similar to the issues remaining in the Proof of Claim.
	The IRS is currently conducting an audit of the Company's income tax returns filed for 2009 and 2010. Since the examination is ongoing, any resulting tax deficiency or overpayment cannot be estimated at this time. During 2013, the statute of limitations for assessing additional income tax deficiencies will expire for certain tax years in several state tax jurisdictions. The expiration of the statute of limitations for these years is expected to have an immaterial impact on total uncertain income tax positions and net income.
	It is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next twelve months. The Company anticipates a final order will be issued by the Bankruptcy Court in 2013 settling the issues in the Proof of Claim. The final order by the Bankruptcy Court would permit a resolution of similar issues for the tax years currently in Appeals (2000-2008). As of September 30, 2013, the Company had $38 million of accruals for unrecognized tax benefits on the matters subject to disposition. Due to the uncertainty related to the potential outcome of these matters, any possible changes in unrecognized tax benefits cannot be reasonably estimated.
	The Company believes that all of its current and prior tax filing positions have substantial merit and intends to vigorously defend any tax claims asserted. The Company believes that it has sufficient accruals to address any claims, including interest and penalties, and does not believe that any potential difference between the final settlements and the amounts accrued will have a material effect on the Company's financial position, but such potential difference could be material to results of operations in a future reporting period.
	Environmental Matters
	The Company is subject to a wide variety of laws and regulations concerning the protection of the environment, both with respect to the construction and operation of its plants, mines and other facilities and with respect to remediating environmental conditions that may exist at its own and other properties.
	The Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with federal, state, provincial and local environmental laws and regulations. The Company accrues for environmental expenses resulting from existing conditions that relate to past operations when the costs are probable and can be reasonably estimated.
	Walter Coke, Inc.
	Walter Coke entered into a decree order in 1989 ("the 1989 Order") relative to a Resource Conservation Recovery Act ("RCRA") compliance program mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"). A RCRA Facility Investigation ("RFI") Work Plan was prepared which proposed investigative tasks to assess the presence of contamination at the Walter Coke facility. In 2004, the EPA re-directed Walter Coke's RFI efforts toward completion of the Environmental Indicator ("EI") determinations for the Current Human Exposures, which were approved and finalized for Walter Coke's Birmingham facility in 2005. In 2008, as a follow-up to the EI determination, the EPA requested that Walter Coke perform additional soil sampling and testing in the neighborhoods surrounding its facility. The results of this sampling and testing were submitted to the EPA for review in 2009. In conjunction with the plan, Walter Coke agreed to remediate portions of 23 properties based on the 2009 sampling and that process was completed in 2012.
	In 2011, the EPA notified Walter Coke in the form of a General Notice Letter that it proposed that the offsite remediation project be classified and managed as a Superfund site under CERCLA, allowing other Potentially Responsible Parties (PRP's) to potentially be held responsible. Under CERCLA authority, the EPA proceeded directly with the offsite sampling work and deferred any further enforcement actions or decisions. In March 2013, the EPA released the North Birmingham Air Toxics Risk Assessment showing the air quality around Company facilities to be acceptable. In August 2013, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) released a report concerning past, present and future exposures to residential soils in North Birmingham and concluded that there is no public health hazard. In September 2013, EPA sent an "Offer to Conduct Work" letter to Walter Coke and four other PRP's notifying them that EPA had completed sampling at 1,100 residential properties and that 400 properties exceeded Regional Removal Management Levels (RML's) and offered the PRP's an opportunity to cleanup 50 Phase I properties. The Company is currently evaluating the letter.
	A RCRA Section 3008(h) Administrative Order on Consent ("the 2012 Order") with the effective date of September 24, 2012 was signed by Walter Coke and the EPA. The 2012 Order declared that all of the approved investigation tasks of the RFI Work Plans required by the 1989 Order had been completed by Walter Coke and that the 1989 Order was terminated and no longer in effect. The objectives of the 2012 Order are to perform Corrective Measure Studies, implement remedies if necessary, and implement and maintain institutional controls if required at the Walter Coke facility.
	The Company has incurred costs to investigate the presence of contamination at the Walter Coke facility and to define remediation actions to address this environmental liability in accordance with the agreements reached with the EPA under the RFI and the residential soil sampling conducted by Walter Coke in the neighborhoods surrounding its facility. At September 30, 2013, the Company has an amount accrued that is probable and can be reasonably estimated for the costs to be incurred to identify and define remediation actions, as well as to perform certain remedial tasks which can be quantified. The amount of this accrual is not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements. While it is probable that the Company will incur additional future costs to remediate environmental liabilities at the Walter Coke facility, the amount of such additional costs cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Although no assurances can be given that the Company will not be required in the future to make material expenditures relating to the Walter Coke site or other sites, management does not believe at this time that the cleanup costs, if any, associated with these sites will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements, but such cleanup costs could be material to the Company's results of operations in a future reporting period.
	In 2011, the Company and Walter Coke were named in a suit filed by Louise Moore (Louise Moore v. Walter Energy, Inc. and Walter Coke, Inc., Case No. 2:11-CV-01391) in the federal District Court for the Northern District of Alabama. This is a putative civil class action alleging state law tort claims arising from the alleged presence on properties of substances, including arsenic, BaP, and other hazardous substances, allegedly as a result of current and/or historic operations in the area conducted by the defendants and/or their predecessors. Subsequently, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint eliminating Walter Energy as a defendant and amending the claims alleged against Walter Coke to relate to Walter Coke's alleged conduct for the period commencing after March 2, 1995. Thereafter, Walter Coke filed a Motion to Dismiss the amended complaint. On September 28, 2012, the Court issued a memorandum opinion and order granting in part and denying in part the motion. In partially granting Walter Coke's motion, the Court held that the plaintiff's claim for injunctive relief was not valid and that class action-related claims must be dismissed (with leave to re-plead) due to an improperly defined class. In partially ruling for the plaintiff, the Court held that at the pleading stage the plaintiff's claims could not be dismissed on rule of repose grounds or due to insufficient pleading. The plaintiff filed an amended complaint on October 29, 2012. On November 19, 2012, Walter Coke filed an answer and motion for partial dismissal of plaintiff's second amended complaint. The Court held a hearing on Walter Coke's motion for partial dismissal of the second amended complaint on January 10, 2013. On September 30, 2013, the Court issued a memorandum opinion and order denying the motion. On November 1, 2013 a joint motion to stay proceedings was filed with the Court. The Company believes that there is no merit to the claims alleged in this action and intends to vigorously defend this matter.
	Willow Creek
	On March 5, 2013, a complaint was received from British Columbia's Environmental Crown Counsel seeking a monetary penalty of $100,000 CAD for alleged violations of the Federal Fisheries Act associated with an April 2011 release of sediment and debris into Willow Creek from the forest service road leading to the Willow Creek mine. As of September 30, 2013, the Company has incurred some costs in taking corrective actions in response to the 2011 release and is continuing to cooperate with regulatory authorities. The Company intends to negotiate with the authorities in pursuit of a mutually agreeable settlement.
	Securities Class Actions and Shareholder Derivative Actions
	On January 26, 2012 and March 15, 2012, putative class actions were filed against Walter Energy, Inc. and some of its current and former senior executive officers in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama (Rush v. Walter Energy, Inc., et al.). The three executive officers named in the complaints are: Keith Calder, Walter's former CEO; Walter Scheller, the Company's current CEO and a director; and Neil Winkelmann, former President of Walter's Canadian and U.K. Operations (collectively the "Individual Defendants"). The complaints were filed by Peter Rush and Michael Carney, purported shareholders of Walter Energy who each sought to represent a class of Walter Energy shareholders who purchased common stock between April 20, 2011 and September 21, 2011.
	These complaints alleged that Walter Energy and the Individual Defendants made false and misleading statements regarding the Company's operations outlook for the second quarter of 2011. The complaints further alleged that the Company and the Individual Defendants knew that these statements were misleading and failed to disclose material facts that were necessary in order to make the statements not misleading. Plaintiffs claimed violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and Section 20(a) of the 1934 Act. On May 30, 2012, the two actions were consolidated into In re Walter Energy, Inc. Securities Litigation. The court also appointed the Government of Bermuda Contributory and Public Service Superannuation Pension Plans as well as the Stephen C. Beaulieu Revocable Trust to be lead plaintiffs and approved lead plaintiffs' selection of Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP and Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP as lead plaintiffs' counsel for the consolidated action. On August 20, 2012, Lead Plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended class action complaint in this action. The consolidated amended complaint names as an additional defendant Joseph Leonard, a current director and former interim CEO of Walter, in addition to the previously named defendants. Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the amended complaint on October 4, 2012. On January 29, 2013, the court denied that motion without prejudice. Defendants answered the complaint on February 15, 2013 and on March 5, 2013. The parties are now in the process of discovery.
	Walter Energy and the other named defendants believe that there is no merit to the claims alleged and intend to vigorously defend these actions.
	On February 7, 2012, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the 10th Judicial Circuit of Alabama (Israni v. Clark et al.). On February 10, 2012, a second shareholder derivative suit was filed in the same court (Himmel v. Scheller et al.), and on February 16, 2012 a third derivative suit was filed (Walters v. Scheller et al.). All three complaints named as defendants the Company's then current Board of Directors, Keith Calder and Neil Winkelmann. The Company was named as a nominal defendant in each complaint. The three complaints alleged similar facts to those alleged in the Rush complaint. The complaints variously asserted state law claims for breaches of fiduciary duties for alleged failures to maintain internal controls and to properly manage the Company, unjust enrichment, waste of corporate assets, gross mismanagement and abuse of control. The three derivative actions sought, among other things, recovery for the Company for damages that the Company suffered as a result of alleged wrongful conduct. On April 11, 2012, the Court consolidated these shareholder derivative suits. Walter Energy thereafter entered into a stipulation with the lead plaintiffs in the consolidated derivative suit, pursuant to which all proceedings in the derivative action were stayed pending the filing of the consolidated amended complaint in the class action. On September 19, 2012, lead plaintiffs filed a consolidated shareholder derivative complaint. This action has been stayed pending the resolution of summary judgment motions in the putative securities class action. The derivative plaintiffs will have certain rights to participate in discovery taken in the federal securities action.
	On March 1, 2012, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama (Makohin v. Clark, et al.). On September 27, 2012 a second shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed in the same court (Sinerius v. Beatty, et al.). Both complaints name as defendants the Company's then current Board of Directors and Keith Calder. The Company is named as a nominal defendant in each complaint. These complaints, like the state court derivative claims, allege similar facts to those alleged in the Rush complaint. The Makohin complaint asserts state law claims for breaches of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment, while the Sinerius complaint asserts these same claims as well as claims for abuse of control and gross mismanagement. Both actions seek, among other things, recovery for the Company for damages that the Company suffered as a result of alleged wrongful conduct and restitution from defendants of all profits, benefits and other compensation that they wrongfully obtained. Like the state court derivative action, both of these cases have been stayed pending resolution of summary judgment motions in the putative securities class action. The federal derivative plaintiffs will also have certain rights to participate in discovery taken in the federal securities action.
	Walter Energy and the other named defendants believe that there is no merit to the claims alleged in these shareholder derivative lawsuits and intend to vigorously defend these actions.
	Miscellaneous Litigation
	The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to a number of other lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of their businesses. The Company records costs relating to these matters when a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The effect of the outcome of these matters on the Company's future results of operations cannot be predicted with certainty as any such effect depends on future results of operations and the amount and timing of the resolution of such matters. While the results of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the final outcome of such other litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
	Commitments and Contingencies—Other
	In the opinion of management, accruals associated with contingencies incurred in the normal course of business are sufficient. Resolution of existing known contingencies is not expected to significantly affect the Company's financial position or results of operations.

	Interest Rate Swaps
	On June 27, 2011, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional value of $450.0 million. The objective of the swap is to protect against the variability in expected future cash flows attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate related to interest payments required under the 2011 Credit Agreement. The interest rate on the debt is subject to change due to fluctuations in the benchmark interest rate of 3-month LIBOR. The structure of the hedge is a three year amortizing interest rate swap based on a 1.17% fixed rate with quarterly fixed rate and floating rate payment dates beginning on July 18, 2011. The hedge will be settled upon maturity and is being accounted for as a cash flow hedge. Changes in the fair value of the effective portion of the hedge that take place through the date of maturity are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of derivatives is recognized directly in earnings included in other income (loss) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	On December 30, 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate hedge agreement with a notional value of $31.5 million. The objective of the hedge is to protect against the variability in expected future cash flows attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate related to 62 of the 64 monthly interest payments required under an equipment financing arrangement for a new longwall shield system entered into on October 21, 2008. The interest rate on the debt is subject to change due to fluctuations in the benchmark interest rate of 1-month LIBOR. The structure of the hedge is a 62 month amortizing interest rate swap based on a 1.84% fixed rate with monthly fixed rate and floating rate payment dates beginning on February 1, 2009. The hedge will be settled upon maturity and is being accounted for as a cash flow hedge. Changes in the fair value of the hedge that take place through the date of maturity are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.
	Interest Rate Cap
	On June 27, 2011, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement related to interest payments required under the 2011 Credit Agreement with a notional value of $255.0 million. The objective of the cap is to protect against the variability in expected future cash flows attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate above 2.00%. The interest rate on the debt is subject to change due to fluctuations in the benchmark interest rate of 3-month LIBOR. The structure of the hedge is a three year amortizing interest rate cap based on a strike price of 2.00% with quarterly fixed rate and floating rate payment dates beginning on July 7, 2011. The hedge will be settled upon maturity and is being accounted for as a cash flow hedge. Changes in the fair value of the hedge that take place through the date of maturity are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transactions affect earnings.
	Natural Gas Hedge
	Revenues derived from the sale of natural gas are subject to volatility based on changes in market prices. In order to reduce the risk associated with natural gas price volatility, on June 7, 2011 the Company entered into a one year swap contract to hedge 4.2 million MMBTUs of natural gas sales beginning in July 2011 and ending June 2012, at a price of $5.00 per MMBTU. The swap agreement hedged approximately 30% of anticipated natural gas sales from July 2011 through June 2012. The hedge was settled upon maturity and was accounted for as a cash flow hedge. The Company did not have any commodity hedges outstanding at September 30, 2013.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments	'
	Note 11—Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three level hierarchy has been established for valuing assets and liabilities based on how transparent (observable) the inputs are that are used to determine fair value, with the inputs considered most observable categorized as Level 1 and those that are the least observable categorized as Level 3. Hierarchy levels are defined as follows:
	Level 1:	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
	Level 2:	Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
	Level 3:	Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market data which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
	The following table presents information about the Company's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such values. For some assets, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. When this is the case, the asset is categorized based on the level of the most significant input to the fair value measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and considers factors specific to the assets being valued.

	Below is a summary of the Company's valuation techniques for Level 1 and Level 2 financial assets and liabilities:
	Interest rate cap—The fair value of the interest rate cap was determined using quoted dealer prices for similar contracts in active over-the-counter markets.
	Interest rate swaps—The fair value of interest rate swaps was determined using quoted dealer prices for similar contracts in active over-the-counter markets.
	The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value for which the fair value option was not elected:
	Cash and cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable—The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet approximate fair value.
	Debt—All of the Company's outstanding debt is carried at cost. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolver at September 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012. The estimated fair value of the Company's debt is based on observable market data (Level 2). The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company's debt are presented below (in thousands):

	Stock awards represent the weighted average number of shares of common stock issuable on the exercise of dilutive employee stock options and vesting of restricted stock units, less the number of shares of common stock which could have been purchased with the proceeds from the exercise of such stock awards. In periods of net loss, the number of shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share is the same as basic earnings per share; therefore, the effect of dilutive securities is zero for such periods. The weighted average number of stock options and non-vested shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 totaling 675,216 and 291,517, respectively, were excluded from the calculation above because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Additionally, the weighted average number of stock options and non-vested shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 totaling 525,402 and 224,240, respectively, were excluded from the calculation above because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
