Business, under the heading "Business Risks." Part I Item 1. Business On November 30, 2000, the Company completed a reverse spin-off (the "Spin-Off"), which divided it into the spun-off corporation, "new" Fluor Corporation ("New Fluor"), and Fluor Corporation, subsequently renamed Massey Energy Company, which retained the Company's coal-related businesses. Except as the context otherwise requires, the terms "Massey" or the "Company" as used herein shall include Massey Energy Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, A. T. Massey Coal Company, Inc. ("A. T. Massey"), and A. T. Massey's subsidiaries. In the Energy Ventures Analysis ranking of coal companies by 2001 revenues, Massey is the fifth largest coal company in the United States, and the largest in the Central Appalachian region. Massey produces, processes and sells bituminous, low sulfur coal of steam and metallurgical grades through its eighteen processing and shipping centers, called "resource groups," many of which receive coal from multiple coal mines. Massey currently operates 37 underground mines (four of which employ both room and pillar and longwall mining) and 14 surface mines (with six highwall miners in operation) in West Virginia, Kentucky and Virginia. Its steam coal is primarily purchased by utilities and industrial clients as fuel for power plants. Its metallurgical coal is used primarily to make coke for use in the manufacture of steel. A. T. Massey was originally incorporated in Richmond, Virginia in 1920 as a coal brokering business. In the late 1940s, A. T. Massey expanded its business to include coal mining and processing. In 1974, St. Joe Minerals acquired a majority interest in A. T. Massey. St. Joe Minerals was then acquired by Fluor in 1981. A. T. Massey has been wholly owned by Fluor (now Massey) since 1987. Massey has changed its fiscal year end from October 31 to December 31 to enhance the financial community's ability to analyze and compare Massey to others in the coal industry. This annual report on Form 10-K will cover the former fiscal year ending October 31, 2001. Massey will file on Form 10-Q a report covering the transition period between the fiscal year ended October 31, 2001 and the new fiscal year beginning January 1, 2002. 1 Industry Overview A major contributor to the world energy supply, coal represents approximately 22% of the world's primary energy consumption. The primary use for coal is to fuel electrical power generation. In calendar year 2000, coal was used to generate 52% of the electricity produced in the United States. The United States is the second largest coal producer in the world, exceeded only by China. Other leading coal producers include India, South Africa, and Australia. The United States is the largest holder of coal reserves in the world, with over 250 years supply at current production rates. U.S. coal reserves are more plentiful than oil or natural gas, with coal representing approximately 76% of the nation's fossil fuel reserves. U.S. coal production has more than doubled during the last 30 years. In 2001, total coal production as estimated by the United States Department of Energy ("DOE") was 1.1 billion tons. The primary producing regions were the Powder River Basin (36%), Central Appalachia (23%), Midwest (14%), Northern Appalachia (13%), West (other than the Powder River Basin) (12%) and other (2%). Approximately 65% of U.S. coal is produced by surface mining methods. The remaining 35% is produced by underground mining methods that include room and pillar mining and longwall mining. Coal is used in the United States by utilities to generate electricity, by steel companies to make products with blast furnaces, and by a variety of industrial users to heat and power foundries, cement plants, paper mills, chemical plants and other manufacturing and processing facilities. Significant quantities of coal are also exported from both east and west coast terminals. The breakdown of 2001 U.S. coal demand, as estimated by Resource Data International, Inc. ("RDI"), is as follows: End Use Tons (millions) % of Total ------- --------------- ---------- Electrical generation... 1,007 86% Industrial users........ 66 6% Exports................. 64 6% Steel making............ 27 2% Residential & commercial 5 -- % ----- --- Total................... 1,169 100% ===== === Coal has long been favored as an electrical generating fuel because of its basic economic advantage. The largest cost component in electrical generation is fuel. This fuel cost is typically lower for coal than competing fuels such as oil and natural gas. RDI estimated the average total production costs of electricity-using coal and competing generation alternatives in 2001 as follows: Cost per million Electrical Generation Type Kilowatt Hours -------------------------- ---------------- Natural Gas.............. $6.103 Oil...................... $5.480 Other (solar, wind, etc.) $3.503 Nuclear.................. $1.749 Coal..................... $1.690 Hydroelectric............ $0.464 According to RDI, 15 of the 25 lowest operating cost electrical generation power plants in the United States during 2000 were fueled by coal. Coal used as fuel to generate electricity is commonly referred to as "steam coal." 2 There are factors other than fuel cost that influence each utility's choice of electrical generation mode, including facility construction cost, access to fuel transportation infrastructure, environmental restrictions, and other factors. The breakdown of U.S. electrical generation by fuel source in 2001, as estimated by RDI, is as follows: Electrical Generation Source % of Total Electrical Generation ---------------------------- -------------------------------- Coal............ 54% Nuclear........... 20% Natural Gas......... 15% Hydro............ 8% Oil............. 2% Other............ 1% --- Total............ 100% === RDI projects that generators of electricity will increase their demand for coal as demand for electricity increases. Because coal-fired generation is used in most cases to meet base load requirements, coal consumption has generally grown at the pace of electricity demand growth. Demand for electricity has historically grown in proportion to U.S. economic growth. The United States ranks second among worldwide exporters of coal. Australia is the largest exporter, with other major exporters including South Africa, Indonesia, Canada, Taiwan, and Colombia. U.S. exports have decreased by over 46% since 1991 as a result of increased international competition and the U.S. dollar's strength in comparison to foreign currencies. According to DOE, the usage breakdown for 2000 U.S. exports of 59 million tons was 44% for electrical generation and 56% for steel making. U.S. coal exports were shipped to more than 40 countries. The largest purchaser of exported steam coal was Canada, which took 15 million tons or 58% of total steam coal exports. The largest purchaser of exported metallurgical coal was Europe, which represented 20 million tons or 61% of total metallurgical coal exports. The type of coal used in steel making is referred to as metallurgical coal, and is distinguished by special quality characteristics that include high carbon content, low expansion pressure, low sulfur content, and various coal chemistry attributes. Metallurgical coal is also high in heat content (as measured in British thermal units ("Btus")), and therefore is desirable to utilities as fuel for electrical generation. Consequently, metallurgical coal producers have the ongoing opportunity to select the market that provides maximum revenue. The premium price offered by steel makers for the metallurgical quality attributes is typically higher than the price offered by utility coal buyers that value only the heat content. The primary concentration of U.S. metallurgical coal reserves is located in the Central Appalachian region. RDI estimates that the Central Appalachian region supplied 87% of domestic metallurgical coal and 97% of U.S. exported metallurgical coal during 2000. Industrial users of coal typically purchase high Btu products with the same type of quality focus as utility coal buyers. The primary goal is to maximize heat content, with other specifications like ash content, sulfur content, and size varying considerably among different customers. Because most industrial coal consumers use considerably less tonnage than electric generating stations, they typically prefer to purchase coal that is screened and sized to specifications that streamline coal handling processes. Due to the more stringent size and quality specifications, industrial customers often pay a 10% to 15% premium above utility coal pricing (on comparable quality). The largest regional supplier to the industrial market sector has historically been Central Appalachia, which supplied approximately 35% of all U.S. industrial coal demand in 2001. Coal shipped for North American consumption is typically sold at the mine loading facility with transportation costs being borne by the purchaser. Offshore export shipments are normally sold at the ship-loading terminal, with the purchaser paying the ocean freight. According to the National Mining Association, approximately two-thirds of U.S. coal production is shipped via railroads. Final delivery to consumers often involves more than one transportation mode. A significant portion of U.S. production is delivered to customers via barges on the inland waterway system and ships loaded at Great Lakes ports. 3 Mining Methods Massey produces coal using four distinct mining methods: underground room and pillar, underground longwall, surface and highwall mining. Use of continuous miner machines in the room and pillar method of underground mining represented approximately 46% of Massey's 2001 coal production. Production from underground longwall mining operations constituted about 18% of Massey's 2001 production. Massey now operates four longwall units. Surface mining represented approximately 29% of Massey's 2001 coal production. Massey has established large-scale surface mines in Boone and Nicholas counties of West Virginia. Other Massey surface mines are smaller in scale. Massey surface mines also use highwall mining systems to produce coal from high overburden areas. Highwall mining represented approximately 7% of Massey's 2001 coal production. Mining Operations Massey currently has eighteen distinct resource groups or mining complexes, including thirteen in West Virginia, four in Kentucky and one in Virginia. These complexes receive, blend, process and ship coal that is produced from one or more mines, with a single complex handling the coal production of as many as eight distinct underground or surface mines. These mines have been developed at strategic locations in close proximity to the Massey preparation plants and rail shipping facilities. Coal is transported from Massey's mining complexes to customers by means of railroad cars or trucks, with rail shipments representing approximately 89% of 2001 coal shipments. 4 The following table provides key summary information on all Massey mining complexes (Resource Groups) that were active in 2001.

Several Massey Resource Groups provide processing and rail shipping services for coal mined at other nearby Massey operations. (2) Reserves allocated to individual mining complexes include both assigned reserves and unassigned reserves that are accessible from the established operations. 5 West Virginia Resource Groups Delbarton. The Delbarton complex processes coal produced by a two-section, underground room and pillar mine in the Lower Cedar Grove seam. Production from this mine, located adjacent to the Delbarton complex, is transported to the Delbarton preparation plant via overland conveyor. The Delbarton complex also processes coal from the North Surface mine, a complex of four surface mines that has highwall mining operations. The North Surface mine completed a direct ship coal (i.e., coal that is shipped without processing) loadout on the CSX in January 2002 that will load up to 150-car unit trains. The Delbarton preparation plant can process 600 tons per hour of raw coal. The clean coal product is shipped to customers via the Norfolk Southern railway in unit trains of up to 110 railcars. Eagle Energy. The Eagle Energy complex is currently inactive but has historically processed coal production from the adjacent underground longwall mine in the Eagle seam. The economically accessible Eagle seam reserves were depleted in January 2000 and the operation was idled. The Eagle Energy preparation plant is a modern facility with a rated feed capacity of 750 tons per hour. Customers can be served via CSX railway shipments loaded in unit trains of up to 90 railcars. Plans are now under review to re-activate this complex using production from new mines in seams above the Eagle seam. Elk Run. The Elk Run complex is one of Massey's largest shippers of coal. Elk Run produces coal from six underground room and pillar mines that deliver coal to the preparation plant by belt and truck. Elk Run also has three surface mines that direct ship to customers via the Kanawha River docks. Additionally, the Elk Run complex processes coal for shipment that is produced from another Massey resource group. The Twilight surface mine in the Progress resource group transports all of its production to the Elk Run facilities via underground conveyor system. The Elk Run preparation plant has a processing capacity of 2200 tons per hour. Elk Run also has a 200 ton per hour stoker facility that processes direct ship coal from the Twilight surface mine. Customer shipments are loaded utilizing a flood load system on the CSX rail system in unit trains of up to 150 railcars. Green Valley. The Green Valley complex specializes in premium quality coals servicing industrial customers in a variety of industries.

Other Related Operations Massey has other related operations and activities in addition to its normal coal production and sales business. The following business activities are included in this category: Appalachian Synfuel Plant: On March 15, 2001, Massey sold a substantial interest in Appalachian Synfuel, LLC ("Appalachian Synfuel"). Appalachian Synfuel owns a synthetic fuel manufacturing facility operated by Massey's Marfork resource group and located adjacent to the Marfork complex in Boone County, West Virginia. This facility converts coal products to synthetic fuel and has operated since June 1998. Appalachian Synfuel has obtained a private letter ruling from the IRS that provides that production from this synfuel facility qualifies the owner for tax credits pursuant to Section 29 of the Code. Synthetic fuel sales by Appalachian Synfuel during fiscal year 2001 were 434,056 tons. Westvaco Coal Handling Facility: Massey subsidiaries own and operate the coal unloading, storage and conveying facilities at Westvaco Corporation's paper manufacturing facility in Covington, Virginia ("Westvaco CHF"). The Westvaco CHF was constructed by Massey in 1992 as a means of reducing coal transportation and handling costs for Westvaco Corporation, a long term industrial coal customer. The Westvaco CHF operating agreement extends through 2007, and provides for Massey to be paid a per ton fee (annually adjusted) for coal handling services and allows Massey to supply 100% of the coal required by Westvaco's facility. Eastman Chemical Company Coal Handling System: Massey subsidiaries are constructing and will own and operate coal unloading, storage and conveying facilities at Eastman Chemical Company's facility in Kingsport, Tennessee (the "Eastman CHS"). The Eastman CHS operating agreement will extend for fifteen years after completion of construction and provides that Massey will be paid certain fixed and/or per ton fees for leasing equipment, coal handling services and for operating and maintaining the Eastman CHS. Massey estimates that the Eastman CHS will be completed in September 2002. Other: Massey also engages in the sale of certain non-strategic assets such as timber, gas & oil rights as well as the sale of non-strategic surface properties and reserves. Marketing and Sales The Massey marketing and sales force, based in the corporate office in Richmond, Virginia, includes sales managers, distribution/traffic managers, technical support and administrative personnel. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2001, Massey sold 43.7 million tons of produced coal for total revenues of $1.2 billion. The breakdown of produced tons sold by market served was 60% utility, 30% metallurgical and 10% industrial. Sales were concluded with over 125 customers. Export shipments (including Canada) represented approximately 20% of 2001 tonnage sold. Massey's 2001 export shipments serviced customers in 10 countries across North America, South America, Europe and Asia. Almost all sales are made in U.S. dollars, which eliminates foreign currency risk. 8 The Company has established several partnering arrangements with customers wherein services other than coal supply are provided on an ongoing basis. Examples of such partnership arrangements include: . The Westvaco CHF and the Eastman CHS (described above). . At two large steel companies, one synthetic fiber manufacturer and one tobacco processing plant, a Massey subsidiary coordinates shipment of coal to the customer's stockpile, maintains ownership of the coal inventory on site and sells tonnage to the customer as it is consumed. Other such partnering services are provided periodically in response to the current needs of each individual customer. Distribution Massey employs transportation specialists who negotiate freight and terminal agreements with various providers, including railroads, barge lines, steamship lines, bulk motor carriers and terminal facilities. Transportation specialists also coordinate with customers, mining facilities and transportation providers to establish shipping schedules that meet the customer's needs. Massey's 2001 shipments of 43.7 million tons were loaded from 18 mining complexes. Rail shipments constituted 89% of total shipments, with 32% loaded on Norfolk Southern trains and 57% loaded on CSX trains. The 11% balance was shipped from Massey mining complexes via truck. Approximately 16% of Massey's production is ultimately delivered via the inland waterway system. Coal is transported by rail or truck to docks on the Ohio, Big Sandy and Kanawha Rivers and then ultimately transported by barge to electric utilities, integrated steel producers and industrial consumers served by the inland waterway system. Massey also moves approximately 13% of its production to Great Lakes Ports for transport beyond to various U.S. and Canadian customers. Customers and Coal Contracts Massey has coal supply commitments with a wide range of electric utilities, steel manufacturers, industrial customers and energy traders and brokers. The majority of Massey's customers purchase coal for terms of one year or longer, but Massey also supplies coal on a spot basis for some of its customers. Massey's biggest customer, Duke Energy, accounted for 11% of Massey's total fiscal year 2001 revenues. Massey has been serving this customer for over thirty years and has agreements in place to continue to supply coal through June 2003. Massey has contracts to supply coal to energy trading and brokering companies under which those companies sell such coal to the ultimate users. One of Massey's energy trading and brokering customers, Enron Corp., filed for bankruptcy protection in December 2001 and Massey has reserved $7.5 million in connection with that bankruptcy. As the largest supplier of metallurgical coal to the American steel industry, Massey is subject to being adversely affected by any decline in the financial condition or production volume of American steel producers. Recently, American steel producers have experienced a substantial decline in the prices received for their products, due at least in part to a heavy volume of foreign steel imported into this country. As a result, several large American producers filed for bankruptcy protection, including two substantial customers of Massey: Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corporation, which filed for bankruptcy protection in late 2000, and Bethlehem Steel Corporation, which filed for bankruptcy protection in mid-2001. In addition, Algoma Steel, Inc., a Canadian steel producer and a customer of Massey, filed for bankruptcy protection under Canadian law. Further deterioration in conditions in the steel industry could reduce the demand for Massey's metallurgical coal and impact the 9 collectibility of Massey's accounts receivable from steel industry customers. Since Massey's metallurgical grade coal can also be marketed as a high-Btu steam coal for use by utilities, a decline in the metallurgical market could result in coal being switched from the metallurgical market to the utility market. As is customary in the coal industry, Massey has entered into long-term contracts (exceeding one year in duration) with many of its customers. These arrangements allow customers to secure a supply for their future needs and provide Massey with greater predictability of sales volume and sales prices. During fiscal year 2002, Massey's sales pursuant to long-term sales arrangements are projected to be at or above 75%. By offering coal of both metallurgical and steam grades, Massey is able to serve a diverse customer base. This market diversity allows Massey to adjust to changing market conditions and sustain high sales volumes. The terms of Massey's long-term contracts are a result of extensive negotiations with the customer. As a result, the terms of these contracts vary with respect to price adjustment mechanisms, pricing terms, permitted sources of supply, force majeure provisions, quality adjustments and other parameters. Most of the contracts contain price adjustment mechanisms that allow for changes to prices based on statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor. Contracts contain specifications for coal quality, which may be especially stringent for steel customers. Many of these contracts also specify the approved locations from which the coal is to be mined. Competition The coal industry in the United States is highly competitive. Massey competes with other large producers and many small coal producers. Massey competes with other producers primarily on the basis of price, coal quality, transportation cost and reliability of supply. Continued demand for coal is also dependent on factors outside Massey's control, including demand for electricity, environmental and governmental regulations, weather, technological developments and the availability of alternative fuel sources. The price at which the Company's production can be sold is dependent upon a variety of factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control. The Company sells coal under long-term contracts and on the spot market. See the "Customers and Coal Contracts" section above. Generally, the relative competitiveness of coal vis-a-vis other fuels or other coals is evaluated on a delivered cost per heating value unit basis. In addition to competition from other fuels, coal quality, the marginal cost of producing coal in various regions of the country and transportation costs are major determinants of the price for which the Company's production can be sold. Factors that directly influence production cost include geological characteristics (including seam thickness), overburden ratios, depth of underground reserves, transportation costs and labor availability and cost. The Company's central Appalachian coal is more expensive to mine than western coal because there is a high percentage of underground coal in the east and eastern surface coal tends to have thinner coal seams. Additionally, underground mining has higher labor (including reserves for future costs associated with labor benefits and health care) and capital (including modern mining equipment and construction of extensive ventilation systems) costs than those of surface mining. In recent years, increased development of large surface mining operations, particularly in the western United States, and more efficient mining equipment and techniques, have contributed to excess coal production capacity in the United States. Competition resulting from excess capacity has encouraged producers to reduce prices and to pass productivity gains through to customers. The lower production cost in the western mines is offset somewhat by the higher quality of many eastern coals and higher transportation cost from these western mines to many coal-fired power plants in the country. Demand for the Company's low sulfur coal and the prices that the Company will be able to obtain for it will also be affected by the price and availability of high sulfur coal, which can be marketed in tandem with emissions allowances. Intraregional and interregional competition is keen as producers seek to position themselves as the low-cost producer and supplier of high-demand product to the electricity generating industry. Transportation costs are another fundamental factor affecting coal industry competition. Coordination of the many eastern loadouts, the large number of small shipments, terrain and labor issues all combine to make 10 shipments originating in the eastern United States inherently more expensive on a per-mile basis than shipments originating in the western United States. Historically, coal transportation rates from the western coal producing areas into central Appalachian markets limited the use of western coal in those markets. More recently, however, lower rail rates from the western coal producing areas to markets served by eastern producers have created major competitive challenges for eastern producers. Barge transportation is the lowest cost method of transporting coal long distances in the eastern United States, and the large numbers of eastern producers with river access keep coal prices competitive. The Company believes that many utilities with plants located on the Ohio River system are well positioned for deregulation as competition for river shipments should remain high for central Appalachian coal. The Company believes that with close proximity to competitively-priced central Appalachian coal and the ability to receive western coals, utilities with plants located on the Ohio River system will become price setters in a deregulated environment. The ability of these utilities to blend western and eastern coal will also create a new, dynamic fuel procurement environment that could place western and eastern coals in even greater competition and limit rail price premiums. River transport is an important transportation option not available to Powder River Basin producers between Wyoming and midwestern river terminals. Although undergoing significant consolidation, the coal industry in the United States remains highly fragmented. There can be no assurance that the Company's costs will permit it to compete effectively with other producers seeking to provide coal to a customer; however, the Company expects to be able to maintain low production costs, offer a variety of products and have access to multiple transportation systems that will enable it to compete effectively with other producers. Employees and Labor Relations As of October 31, 2001, Massey had 5,004 employees, including 165 employees affiliated with the United Mine Workers of America. Relations with employees are generally good, and there have been no material work stoppages in the past ten years. Environmental, Safety and Health Matters Massey is subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and plant and mine safety and health, including but not limited to the federal Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977; Occupational Safety and Health Act; Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977; Water Pollution Control Act, as amended by the Clean Water Act; the Clean Air Act; Black Lung Benefits Revenue Act of 1977; and Black Lung Benefits Reform Act of 1977. On October 20, 1999, the United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia ("District Court") issued an injunction against the West Virginia Division of Environmental Protection ("WVDEP") prohibiting it from issuing permits for the construction of valley fills over both intermittent and perennial stream segments as part of mining operations. While Massey is not a party to this litigation, virtually all mining operations (including those of Massey) utilize valley fills to dispose of excess materials mined during coal production. On April 24, 2001, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals overruled the district court, finding that the 11/th/ Amendment to the U.S. Constitution barred the suit against WVDEP in Federal Court. On July 13, 2001, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals denied the plaintiffs' petition for rehearing. In October 2001, the plaintiffs appealed the Fourth Circuit decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. On January 22, 2002, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the appeal. Accordingly, challenges to WVDEP's enforcement of its mining program cannot be maintained in federal court. However, challenges may be raised in state court against WVDEP or in federal court against the federal Office of Surface Mining ("OSM"), the agency that oversees state regulation of surface mining. If and to the extent state courts rule that the WVDEP is prohibited from issuing permits for the construction of valley fills or federal courts rule that OSM is compelled to impose such a prohibition on WVDEP, all or a portion of Massey's mining operations could be affected if legislation is not passed which limits the impact of such a ruling. On October 11, 2000, a partial failure of Martin County Coal Corporation's coal refuse impoundment released approximately 230 million gallons of coal slurry into adjacent underground mine workings. The slurry then discharged into two tributary streams of the Big Sandy River in eastern Kentucky. Clean up efforts began immediately and are largely completed. Further information on this matter is set forth below in Item 3, Legal Proceedings. 11 On June 27, 2000, the WVDEP issued an administrative order to one of Massey's subsidiaries, Elk Run Coal Company, in connection with alleged violations of the surface mining laws relating to dust. WVDEP has also issued orders to various Massey subsidiaries ordering them to show cause why permits for those subsidiaries should not be suspended or revoked because of alleged patterns of violations relating to water quality. Further information on these orders is set forth below in Item 3, Legal Proceedings. The U.S. Department of Labor has issued a final rule amending the regulations implementing the federal black lung laws which, among other things, establish a presumption in favor of a claimant's treating physician and limit a coal operator's ability to introduce medical evidence regarding the claimant's medical condition. The amendments could have an adverse impact on Massey, the extent of which cannot be accurately predicted. Further discussion is set forth below in Business Risks--Government regulations increase Massey's costs and may discourage customers from buying Massey's coal. The Clean Air Act and corresponding state laws extensively regulate emissions into the air of particulate matter and other substances, including sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and mercury. Although these regulations apply directly to impose certain requirements for the permitting and operation of Massey's mining facilities, by far their greatest impact on Massey and the coal industry generally is the effect of emission limitations on utilities and other Massey customers. The Environmental Protection Agency has imposed or attempted to impose tighter emission restrictions in a number of areas, some of which are currently subject to litigation. The general effect of such tighter restrictions could be to reduce demand for coal. The United States has not implemented the 1992 Framework Convention on Global Climate Change (the "Kyoto Protocol") which is intended to limit or reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide. Under the terms of the Kyoto Protocol, the United States would be required to reduce emissions to 93% of 1990 levels over a five-year period from 2008 through 2012. Were the United States to implement comprehensive regulations focusing on greenhouse gas emissions, it would have the effect of restricting the use of coal. Other efforts to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and federal initiatives to encourage the use of coalbed methane gas also may affect the use of coal as an energy source. It is impossible to predict the full impact of future judicial, legislative or regulatory developments on Massey's operations because the standards to be met, as well as the technology and length of time available to meet those standards, continue to develop and change. In fiscal year 2001, Massey spent approximately $8.7 million to comply with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, none of which expenditures were capitalized. Massey anticipates making $5.3 million and $6.4 in such non-capital expenditures in fiscal 2002 and 2003, respectively. Of these expenditures, $8.4 million, $4.4 million and $5.4 million for fiscal 2001, 2002 and 2003, respectively, were or are anticipated to be for surface reclamation. The Company believes, based upon present information available to it, that its accruals with respect to future environmental costs are adequate. For further discussion on costs, see Note 5 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. However, the imposition of more stringent requirements under environmental laws or regulations, new developments or changes regarding site cleanup costs or the allocation of such costs among potentially responsible parties, or a determination that the Company is potentially responsible for the release of hazardous substances at sites other than those currently identified, could result in additional expenditures or the provision of additional accruals in expectation of such expenditures. Business Risks Coal markets are highly competitive and affected by factors beyond Massey's control Massey competes with coal producers in various regions of the United States for domestic sales and with both domestic and overseas producers for sales to international markets. Continued demand for Massey's coal and the prices that it will be able to obtain primarily will depend upon coal consumption patterns of the domestic 12 electric utility industry and the domestic steel industry. Consumption by the domestic utility industry is affected by the demand for electricity, environmental and other governmental regulations, technological developments and the price of competing coal and alternative fuel supplies including nuclear, natural gas, oil and renewable energy sources, including hydroelectric power. Consumption by the domestic steel industry is primarily affected by the demand for U.S. steel. Massey's sales of metallurgical coal are dependent on the continued financial viability of domestic steel companies and their ability to compete with steel producers abroad. Massey depends on continued demand from its customers Reduced demand from Massey's largest customers could have an adverse impact on Massey's ability to achieve its projected revenues. When Massey's contracts with its customers reach expiration, there can be no assurance that the customers either will extend or enter into new long-term contracts or, in the absence of long-term contracts, that they will continue to purchase the same amount of coal as they have in the past or on terms, including pricing terms, as favorable as under existing agreements. Union represented labor creates an increased risk of work stoppages and higher labor costs At October 31, 2001, less than 5% of Massey's total workforce was represented by the United Mine Workers of America. Eight of Massey's coal processing plants and one of its smaller surface mines have a workforce that is represented by a union. In fiscal 2001, these eight processing plants handled approximately 33% of Massey's coal production. There may be an increased risk of strikes and other related work actions, in addition to higher labor costs, associated with these operations. Massey has experienced some union organizing campaigns at some of its open shop facilities within the past five years. If some or all of Massey's current open shop operations were to become union represented, Massey could incur additional risk of work stoppages and higher labor costs. Transportation disruptions could impair Massey's ability to sell coal Massey's transportation providers are important in order to provide access to markets. Disruption of transportation services because of weather-related problems, strikes, lockouts or other events could temporarily impair Massey's ability to supply coal to customers. The State of West Virginia has recently increased enforcement of weight limits on coal trucks on its public roads. Although Massey has historically avoided public road trucking of coal when possible by transporting coal by rail, barge and conveyor systems, such stepped up enforcement actions could result in shipment delays and increased costs. Fluctuations in transportation costs could affect the demand for Massey's coal Transportation costs represent a significant portion of the delivered cost of coal and, as a result, the cost of delivery is a critical factor in a customer's purchasing decision. Increases in transportation costs could make coal a less competitive source of energy. Such increases could have a material adverse effect on Massey's ability to compete with other energy sources and on its business, financial condition and results of operations. On the other hand, significant decreases in transportation costs could result in increased competition from coal producers in other parts of the country. For instance, coal mines in the western United States could become an attractive source of coal to consumers in the eastern part of the country if the costs of transporting coal from the west were significantly reduced. Foreign currency fluctuations could adversely affect the competitiveness of Massey's coal abroad Massey relies on customers in other countries for a portion of its sales, with shipments to countries in Europe, North America, South America and Asia. Massey competes in these international markets against coal produced in other countries. Coal is sold internationally in U.S. dollars. As a result, mining costs in competing producing countries may be reduced in U.S. dollar terms based on currency exchange rates, providing an advantage to foreign coal producers. Currency fluctuations in producing countries could adversely affect the competitiveness of U.S. coal in international markets. Coal mining is subject to inherent risks Massey's operations are subject to certain events and conditions which could disrupt operations, including fires and explosions from methane, accidental minewater discharges, natural disasters, equipment failures and 13 maintenance problems, flooding, changes in geologic conditions, failure of reserve estimates to prove correct and inability to acquire mining rights or permits. Massey maintains business interruption insurance and property and general liability insurance policies that provide limited coverage for some, but not all, of these risks. Even where insurance coverage applies, there can be no assurance that these risks would be fully covered by Massey's insurance policies. Government regulations increase Massey's costs and may discourage customers from buying Massey's coal Numerous governmental permits and approvals are required for coal mining operations. Massey may be required to prepare and present to federal, state and local authorities more extensive data describing the effect or impact that any proposed mining operations may have upon the environment. For example, the West Virginia Division of Environmental Protection is involved in litigation regarding its alleged failure to consider the hydrologic effects of mining operations in issuing mining permits. This suit could lead to additional requirements that Massey and other mining companies assess potential hydrologic risks. These and any other increased requirements may be costly and time-consuming and may delay commencement or continuation of mining operations. New legislation and new regulations may be adopted which could materially adversely affect Massey's mining operations, cost structure or its customers' ability to use coal. New legislation and new regulations may also require Massey or its customers to change operations significantly or incur increased costs. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") has undertaken broad initiatives aimed at increasing compliance with emissions standards and to provide incentives to customers for decreasing emissions, often by switching to an alternative fuel source. Under federal black lung benefits legislation, each coal mine operator is required to make payments of black lung benefits or contributions to: (i) current and former coal miners totally disabled from black lung disease; (ii) certain survivors of a miner who dies from black lung disease; and (iii) a trust fund for the payment of medical expenses to claimants whose last mine employment was before January 1, 1970, where no responsible coal mine operator has been identified for claims (where a miner's last coal employment was after December 31, 1969), or where the responsible coal mine operator has defaulted on the payment of such benefits. In recent years, legislation on black lung reform has been introduced but not enacted in Congress. It is possible that this legislation will be reintroduced for consideration by Congress. If any of the proposals included in this or similar legislation is passed, the number of claimants who are awarded benefits could significantly increase. Any such changes in black lung legislation, if approved, could adversely affect Massey's business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the United States Department of Labor issued a final rule, effective January 19, 2001, amending the regulations implementing federal black lung laws. The amendments give greater weight to the opinion of the claimant's treating physician, expand the definition of black lung disease and limit the amount of medical evidence that can be submitted by claimants and respondents. The amendments also alter administrative procedures for the adjudication of claims, which, according to the Department of Labor, result in streamlined procedures that are less formal, less adversarial and easier for participants to understand. These and other changes to the black lung regulations could significantly increase Massey's exposure to black lung benefits liabilities. The National Mining Association challenged the amendments in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. On August 9, 2001, the Court lifted a temporary injunction blocking the Labor Department's processing of black lung benefit claims after dismissing the National Mining Association's challenge to the amendments and upheld the new regulations. The National Mining Association has appealed this decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The Clean Air Act affects Massey's customers and could influence their purchasing decisions The Clean Air Act and corresponding state laws extensively regulate emissions into the air of particulate matter and other substances, including sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and mercury. In order to comply with limitations on emissions, Massey's customers may switch to other fuels or coal from other regions. The Clean Air Act affects coal mining operations by requiring utilities that currently are major sources of nitrogen oxides in moderate or higher ozone nonattainment areas to install reasonably available control 14 technology. In July 1997, the EPA adopted new, more stringent National Ambient Air Quality Standards for particulate matter and ozone. The adoption and implementation of these more stringent standards have been challenged in litigation and the outcome of that challenge is uncertain at this time. The specific provisions of these standards could be revised by the EPA. In October 1998, the EPA issued its final rule entitled "Finding of Significant Contribution and Rulemaking for Certain States in the Ozone Transport Assessment Group Region for Purposes of Reducing Regional Transport of Ozone" (the NOx SIP Call rule). In the final rule, the EPA found that sources in 22 states and the District of Columbia emit NOx in amounts that significantly contribute to nonattainment of National Ambient Air Quality Standards, or will interfere with maintenance of those standards, in one or more downwind states. The rule requires the 22 upwind states and the District of Columbia to submit state implementation plan revisions to prohibit specified amounts of emissions of oxides of nitrogen (NOx)--one of the precursors to ozone (smog) pollution--for the purpose of reducing NOx and ozone transport across state boundaries in the eastern half of the United States. Although states may choose any mix of pollution reduction measures that will achieve the required reductions, it is widely anticipated that states will target large utility and industrial boilers, which could materially reduce the demand for coal by these users. Additionally, the EPA has granted petitions filed by four northeast states under section 126 of the Clean Air Act. The granting of these petitions means that stationary sources located in upwind states--mostly coal-fired utilities--must reduce their emissions of NOx. The deadline for compliance under the section 126 petitions is May 2003. The EPA has filed suit against a number of leading electric utilities (including Massey customers) in U.S. District Court, asserting that these utilities must install new emission controls at plants previously "grandfathered" from the more stringent requirements now applicable under the New Source Review program of the Clean Air Act. The EPA is also pursuing an administrative proceeding against the Tennessee Valley Authority on the same basis. Installation of these controls would require very significant capital investment, and some utilities might choose to switch to non-coal generation rather than make such investment. This could materially decrease the demand for coal. The passage of legislation responsive to the Framework Convention on Global Climate Change could have an adverse effect on Massey's business The United States has not implemented the 1992 Framework Convention on Global Climate Change ("Kyoto Protocol") which is intended to limit emissions of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide. However, continuing international and federal efforts to control greenhouse gas emissions could result in reduced use of coal if electric power generators switch to lower carbon sources of fuel. Massey is subject to the Clean Water Act which imposes monitoring and reporting obligations The federal Clean Water Act affects coal mining operations by imposing restrictions on discharge of pollutants into waters and dredging and filling of wetlands. Regular monitoring, as well as compliance with reporting requirements and performance standards, are preconditions for the issuance and renewal of permits governing the discharge of pollutants into water. On October 20, 1999, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia issued an injunction which prohibits the construction of valley fills over both intermittent and perennial stream segments as part of mining operations. See discussion above under Item 1, Environmental, Safety and Health Matters. Deregulation of the electric utility industry could lead to efforts to reduce coal prices Deregulation of the electric utility industry, when implemented, will enable industrial, commercial and residential customers to shop for the lowest cost supply of electricity. This fundamental change in the power industry may result in efforts to reduce coal prices. Severe weather may affect Massey's ability to mine and deliver coal Severe weather, including flooding and excessive ice or snowfall, when it occurs, can adversely affect Massey's ability to produce, load and transport coal. 15 A Shortage of skilled labor in the Central Appalachian and industry poses a risk to achieving high labor productivity and competitive costs. Coal mining continues to be a labor intensive industry. In 2001, a shortage of trained coal miners developed in the Central Appalachian region. The lack of skilled miners could have an adverse impact on Massey's labor productivity and cost and its ability to expand production. Item 2. Properties Operations of Massey and its subsidiaries are conducted in both owned and leased properties totaling approximately 900,000 acres in West Virginia, Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee. In addition, certain owned or leased properties of Massey and its subsidiaries are leased or subleased to third party tenants. Massey and its subsidiaries currently own or lease the equipment that is utilized in their mining operations. The following table describes the location and general character of the major existing facilities, exclusive of mines, coal preparation plants and their adjoining offices. Coal Offices: Richmond, Virginia Owned Massey Corporate Headquarters Charleston, West Virginia Leased Massey Coal Services Headquarters Coal Reserves Massey estimates that, as of October 31, 2001, it had total recoverable reserves of approximately 2.1 billion tons consisting of both proven and probable reserves. Reserves are coal deposits that could be economically and legally extracted or produced. "Recoverable" reserves means coal that is recoverable using existing equipment and methods under federal and state laws currently in effect. Approximately 1.4 billion tons of Massey's reserves are classified as proven reserves. This means that these deposits have been substantiated by adequate information, including information derived from exploration, current and previous mining operations, outcrop data and knowledge of mining conditions. The remaining 700 million tons of Massey's reserves are classified as probable reserves. These are deposits of coal which are based on information of a more preliminary or limited extent or character, but which are considered likely. Reserve estimates are updated annually using geologic data taken from drill holes, adjacent mine workings, outcrop prospect openings and other sources. Coal tonnages are categorized according to coal quality, seam thickness, mineability and location relative to existing mines and infrastructure. In accordance with applicable industry standards, proven reserves are those for which reliable data points are spaced no more than 2,700 feet apart. Probable reserves are those for which reliable data points are spaced 2,700 feet to 7,900 feet apart. Further scrutiny is applied using geological criteria and other factors related to profitable extraction of the coal. These criteria include seam height, roof and floor conditions, yield and marketability. The following table provides proven and probable reserve data by state as of October 31, 2001, as follows: Tons % of Total ---------- ---------- (millions) Southern West Virginia 1,742 82% Eastern Kentucky...... 306 14 Southwestern Virginia. 60 3 Southeastern Tennessee 26 1 ----- --- Total................. 2,134 100% ===== === When categorized by sulfur content, the reserve breakdown is as follows: Tons % of Total ---------- ---------- (millions) Sulfur Content Compliance sulfur or less............... 958 45% Greater than compliance and less than 1% 450 21 Greater than 1% sulfur and less than 2%. 716 34 Greater than 2% sulfur.................. 10 -- ----- --- Total................................... 2,134 100% ===== === 16 Massey's reserve holdings include high volatile metallurgical coal reserves. Although these metallurgical coal reserves receive the highest selling price in the current coal market when marketed to steel-making customers, they can also be marketed as an ultra high Btu, low sulfur steam coal for electrical generation. The categorization of Massey's coal reserves as utility/industrial or metallurgical quality is as follows: Tons % of Total ---------- ---------- (millions) Coal Type High volatile metallurgical.. 863 40% Low volatile metallurgical... 98 5 Utility or industrial markets 1,173 55 ----- --- Total........................ 2,134 100% ===== === As with most coal-producing companies in Central Appalachia, the majority of Massey's coal reserves are controlled pursuant to leases from third party landowners. These leases convey mining rights to the coal producer in exchange for a per ton or percentage of gross sales price royalty payment to the lessor. However, a significant portion of Massey's reserve holdings are owned and require no royalty or per ton payment to other parties. The following table summarizes the portion of Massey reserves controlled by ownership versus lease: Tons % of Total ---------- ---------- (millions) Method of Reserve Control Owned reserves...... 298 14% Leased reserves..... 1,836 86 ----- --- Total............... 2,134 100% ===== === See Item 1. Business, of this report for additional information regarding the coal operations and properties of Massey. Item 3. Legal Proceedings Harman Litigation Harman Mining Corporation and certain of its affiliates (collectively "Harman") instituted two civil actions against Massey or its present or former subsidiaries. In June 1998, Harman filed a breach of contract action against Wellmore Coal Corporation ("Wellmore"), a former Massey subsidiary, in Buchanan County, Virginia Circuit Court. Harman claims that Wellmore breached a coal supply agreement, pursuant to which Harman sold coal to Wellmore, by declaring a force majeure event and reducing the amount of coal to be purchased from Harman as a result thereof. Wellmore claimed force majeure when its major customer was forced to close its Pittsburgh coke plant due to regulatory action. Harman received a jury verdict that Wellmore breached the contract and assessing $6 million in damages against Wellmore. Massey's subsidiary, Knox Creek Coal Corporation, has assumed the defense of this action under the terms of the stock purchase agreement by which it sold the stock of Wellmore and, on August 6, 2001, filed a petition for appeal of the adverse determination on liability and damages to the Supreme Court of Virginia. Additionally, Harman and its sole shareholder, Hugh Caperton, filed a separate action against Massey and certain subsidiaries in Boone County, West Virginia Circuit Court, alleging that Massey and its subsidiaries tortiously interfered with Harman's contract with Wellmore and, as a result, caused Harman to go out of business. The plaintiffs seek unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. Massey believes that compensatory damages, if any, are duplicative of any damages that may be awarded in the contract action, and are limited by the same factors as in the contract action. Massey is defending this action vigorously and believes that it has numerous valid defenses to the claims. This action is set for trial beginning May 28, 2002. 17 Environmental Protection Orders On June 27, 2000, the WVDEP issued an administrative order to one of Massey's subsidiaries, Elk Run Coal Company, requiring Elk Run either to suspend operations for three days beginning July 17, 2000 or expend $100,000 on local community improvement projects. The order was based on alleged violations of the surface mining laws relating to dust, and Elk Run appealed the order to the West Virginia Surface Mining Board. On October 25, 2000 the West Virginia Surface Mining Board upheld the order. Elk Run has appealed the Surface Mining Board's order to the Kanawha Circuit Court, Charleston, West Virginia. Elk Run believes that it has good defenses to the alleged violations. On April 3, 2001, Marfork Coal Company and the WVDEP entered into a consent agreement to resolve two show cause orders issued to Marfork on April 28, 2000 and a third show cause order issued to Marfork on December 20, 2000. Under the consent agreement, Marfork agreed to implement plans pertaining to dust control and to sediment and drainage control and further agreed to contribute $100,000 to various community projects. On August 27, 2001, Marfork Coal Company and the WVDEP entered into an agreed order to resolve a number of alleged effluent violations occurring prior to January 19, 2001. Pursuant to the agreement, Marfork was assessed an administrative penalty of $148,500. WVDEP has also issued orders to various Massey subsidiaries ordering them to show cause why permits for those subsidiaries should not be suspended or revoked because of alleged patterns of violations relating to water quality. In particular, WVDEP has issued such orders to: (1) Green Valley Coal Company, for two refuse area permits, on March 6, 2001 and August 21, 2001; (2) Marfork Coal Company, for its refuse impoundment permit, on June 7, 2001; (3) Independence Coal Company, for its preparation plant permit, on August 24, 2001, for its refuse impoundment permit, on August 29, 2001, and for its Justice Mine permit, on September 19, 2001; and (4) Omar Mining Company, for its joint refuse area and preparation plant permit, on October 5, 2001. Hearings for these subsidiaries to show cause why the permits should not be suspended or revoked were held for Marfork on October 25, 2001; Green Valley on June 14, 2001 and November 6, 2001; Independence on December 5-6, 2001; and Omar on January 22, 2002. In the event of an adverse determination, the affected permits could be suspended or revoked. If a permit is revoked, Massey and its subsidiaries could be prohibited from receiving additional permits. On January 2, 2002, WVDEP entered an order finding a pattern of violations and suspending Green Valley's above-referenced refuse area permits for three days. Green Valley obtained a stay of enforcement of the order pending appeal and filed an appeal of the order. On January 14, 2002, WVDEP entered an order finding a pattern of violations and suspending operations on Marfork's refuse impoundment permit for fourteen days. Marfork obtained a stay of enforcement of the order pending appeal and filed an appeal of the order. The companies are vigorously defending these enforcement actions. If the affected Massey subsidiaries are unsuccessful in defending or reaching an acceptable resolution of these orders with the WVDEP, there is a possibility that a suspension of operations could have a significant affect on Massey's overall operations. Martin County Impoundment Discharge On October 11, 2000, a partial failure of Martin County Coal Corporation's coal refuse impoundment released approximately 230 million gallons of coal slurry into adjacent underground mine workings. The slurry then discharged into two tributary streams of the Big Sandy River in eastern Kentucky. No one was injured in the discharge. Clean up efforts began immediately and are largely complete. The States of Kentucky and West Virginia have issued various notices of violation related to the discharge and ordered remedial measures. Fines and penalties, which may not be covered by insurance, have not yet been assessed. The Company has begun informal discussions with various agencies with respect to the resolution of the notices of violation, including potential fines and penalties. On October 19, 2001, the Company agreed to pay $225,000 to the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Service to settle statutory fish replacement claims. Several lawsuits have been brought by downstream residents and other individual plaintiffs claiming to be damaged by the spill. These suits assert trespass, property damage, nuisance and other claims, and seek compensatory and punitive damages. Certain of these suits seek to be certified as class action lawsuits. These lawsuits remain in their initial stages. 18 Martin County Coal began processing coal again on April 2, 2001. The Company is continuing to seek approval from the applicable agencies for alternate refuse disposal options related to operations of Martin County Coal's preparation plant. As of October 31, 2001, cleanup costs of approximately $41.5 million have been incurred, $32.5 million of which have been paid or reimbursed by insurance companies. Massey continues to seek insurance reimbursement of any and all covered costs, the majority of which are recorded as a receivable in the Company's financial statements. On June 26, 2001, the WVDEP filed a civil action against Martin County Coal in the Wayne County, West Virginia Circuit Court to redress alleged injury to, destruction or loss of natural resources in the State of West Virginia and alleged violations of law resulting from the impoundment discharge. Massey is defending this action vigorously and believes that it has numerous valid defenses to the claims. West Virginia Workers Compensation Settlement The West Virginia Workers Compensation Division filed suits in April 1998 against several coal companies, including several subsidiaries of Massey, for delinquent workers' compensation premiums from the 1980s and early 1990s owed by former contractors and licensees of such coal companies. In late 1999, the West Virginia Workers Compensation Division agreed to dismiss these lawsuits. In early 2001, the Affiliated Construction Trades Council filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of McDowell County, West Virginia seeking to reinstate these lawsuits. By opinion issued October 23, 2001, the court held that the cases could be reinstated. In December 2001, in lieu of potentially reinstating the lawsuits, the state of West Virginia and several coal operators, including Massey, began discussions regarding settlement of potential claims. In January 2002, Massey agreed to settle such claims for $6.9 million payable over a period of ten years in exchange for a release of all such claims. Kentuckians for the Commonwealth On August 21, 2001, the Kentuckians for the Commonwealth, an environmental group, sued the U.S. Corps of Engineers (the "Corps") for issuing a Nationwide Permit (i.e., a general permit issued for a class of activities that does not require a permit applicant to undergo individual review) to Martin County Coal allowing construction of valley fills in waters of the United States. The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, alleges that the Corps lacks the authority under the Clean Water Act to issue permits for valley fills in the waters of the United States. Alternatively, the plaintiffs argue that fills cannot be approved: (i) pursuant to a Nationwide Permit rather than an individual permit; (ii) without an environmental impact statement; (iii) without analyzing measures for avoiding and minimizing impacts on streams; and (iv) without waiting for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to complete proceedings under the Clean Water Act to veto Martin County Coal's permit. Prior to the lawsuit being filed, Martin County Coal sold the property subject to the permit to an unrelated company and the Corps is in the process of transferring the permit to that company. While neither Martin County Coal nor Massey is a party to this litigation, virtually all mining operations (including those of Massey) utilize valley fills to dispose of excess materials mined during coal production. Other Legal Proceedings Disputes have arisen between Fluor Australia, a former subsidiary of the Company, and its client, Anaconda Nickel, over the A$800 million Murrin Murrin Nickel Cobalt project located in Western Australia. Anaconda's primary contention is that the process design is defective and incapable of proper operation. Anaconda also contends that it has suffered consequential losses, such as loss of profit for which it seeks payment from New Fluor. Anaconda contends that New Fluor is liable to Anaconda in the total amount of A$1.8 billion, A$1.2 billion of which is alleged consequential damages. New Fluor vigorously disputes and rejects Anaconda's claims. The dispute is in arbitration in Australia and an arbitration hearing is scheduled to commence in late January 2002. If and to the extent that these problems are ultimately determined to be the responsibility of New Fluor, it anticipates recovering a substantial portion of any award to Anaconda from available insurance. Prior to 19 the Spin-Off, the Company had guaranteed the subsidiary's obligations under the subsidiary's construction agreement with Anaconda. Pursuant to an agreement between the Company and New Fluor, New Fluor has assumed all liability and costs arising in connection with this litigation. Due to the Martin County impoundment discharge, flooding in July 2001 and other events that caused significant disruptions in coal production for which force majeure notices have been issued to customers, certain customers have complained about short falls in coal shipments. In one instance, a customer has demanded arbitration of its claim for damages allegedly caused by delayed coal shipments. Several customers have agreed to defer tonnage into calendar year 2002. The Company continues to seek to resolve customer complaints through similar arrangements. In addition, Massey and its subsidiaries, incident to their normal business activities, are parties to a number of other legal proceedings. While Massey cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings, in the opinion of Massey and based on reports of counsel, any liability arising from these matters individually and in the aggregate should not have a material adverse effect upon the consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations of Massey. The Company also is party to numerous lawsuits and other legal proceedings related to the non-coal businesses previously conducted by the Company but now conducted by New Fluor. Under the terms of the Distribution Agreement entered into by the Company and New Fluor as of November 30, 2000, in connection with the Spin-Off of New Fluor by the Company, New Fluor has agreed to indemnify the Company with respect to all such legal proceedings and has assumed their defense.

The Company's stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The Company's Common Stock trading symbol is MEE. At December 31, 2001, there were 74,773,920 shares outstanding and approximately 10,503 shareholders of record of Massey's common stock. As discussed above, on November 30, 2000, Fluor completed the spin-off of New Fluor, which is conducting all of the businesses previously conducted by Fluor, other than the coal business. New Fluor is treated as the accounting successor of Fluor. As a result, information regarding dividends previously paid by, or prices paid for the common stock of, Fluor prior to November 30, 2000 is not indicative of the past or future performance of Massey. The dividends paid and the stock prices of Massey stock since November 30, 2000 is set forth below. The dividends paid and the stock prices of Fluor stock prior to November 30, 2000 can be found in Fluor's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2000. The following table sets forth the high and low sales prices per share of Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange, based upon published financial sources, and the dividends declared on each share of Common Stock for the quarter indicated. High Low Dividends ------ ------ --------- Fiscal Year 2001 Quarter ended January 31, 2001. $18.10 $ 9.94 $0.08 Quarter ended April 30, 2001... $28.23 $17.20 $0.04 Quarter ended July 31, 2001.... $22.95 $15.66 $0.04 Quarter ended October 31, 2001. $20.56 $12.25 $0.04 21 Due to the timing of the Spin-Off transaction, in December 2000, the Company declared a first quarter dividend of $0.04 per share, payable in January 2001. Additionally, in January 2001, the Company declared a second quarter dividend of $0.04 per share, payable in April 2001. The Company's current dividend policy anticipates the payment of quarterly dividends in the future. The declaration and payment of dividends to holders of Common Stock will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be dependent upon the future earnings, financial condition, and capital requirements of the Company. Transfer Agent and Registrar Mellon Investor Services LLC acts as transfer agent and registrar for the Massey Common Stock. Item 6. Selected Financial Data.

Further discussion of the Spin-Off may be found in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. As New Fluor is the accounting successor to Fluor Corporation, Massey's equity structure was impacted as a result of the Spin-Off. Massey retained $300 million of 6.95 percent Senior Notes, $278.5 million of Fluor commercial paper, other equity contributions from Fluor, and assumed Fluor's common stock equity structure. Therefore, the Selected Financial Data for years prior to 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Massey in the future or had it operated as a separate independent company during the periods prior to November 30, 2000. (2) Shares used to calculate basic earnings per share for the periods ended October 31, 2000 and prior is based on the number of shares outstanding immediately following the Spin-Off (73,468,707). Shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share for the periods ended October 31, 2000 and prior is based on the number of shares outstanding immediately following the Spin-Off and the dilutive effect of stock options and other stock-based instruments of Fluor Corporation, held by Massey employees, that were converted to equivalent instruments in Massey Energy Company in connection with the Spin-Off. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the effect of dilutive securities was excluded from the calculation of the diluted loss per common share for the period ended October 31, 2001 as such inclusion would result in antidilution. 22 (3) EBITDA is defined as earnings before deducting net interest expense (interest expense less interest income), income taxes and depreciation, depletion and amortization. Although EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, management believes that it is useful to an investor in evaluating Massey because it is widely used in the coal industry as a measure to evaluate a company's operating performance before debt expense and its cash flow. EBITDA does not purport to represent cash generated by operating activities and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, because EBITDA is not calculated identically by all companies, the presentation here may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Management's discretionary use of funds depicted by EBITDA may be limited by working capital, debt service and capital expenditure requirements and by restrictions related to legal requirements, commitments and uncertainties. (4) Average cash cost per ton is calculated as the sum of Cost of sales and Selling, general and administrative expense, divided by the number of tons sold. Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations 2001 Compared with 2000 Net sales increased 11% to $1,203.3 million in 2001 as compared to $1,081.0 million for the previous year. Two factors that impacted revenues during 2001 were: . The volume of tons sold increased by 9 percent from 40.2 million tons in 2000 to 43.7 million tons in 2001. This increase consisted of a 17 percent increase in utility tons sold and a 19 percent increase in industrial tons sold, offset in part by a decrease of 8 percent in metallurgical tons sold. . The average per ton realized price for coal sold increased by 2 percent from $26.86 in 2000 to $27.51 in 2001. The market for utility coal continued to improve during the fiscal year 2001 as spot market prices of Central Appalachian coal increased to 20-year highs. Unfortunately, most of the Massey tonnage sold in 2001 was committed prior to the upturn in the market. Other revenue, which consists of royalties, rentals, miscellaneous income and gains on the sale of non-strategic assets, decreased 15 percent to $50.5 million for 2001 compared with $59.6 million for 2000. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in income from dispositions of non-strategic mineral reserves, which generated $26.5 million in 2000 compared to $1.1 million in 2001. As part of its management of coal reserves, Massey regularly sells non-strategic reserves or exchanges them for reserves located in more synergistic locations. Cost of sales increased 22 percent to $1,024.1 million for 2001 from $837.1 million in 2000. This was partially due to the increase in tons sold. Cost of sales on a per ton sold basis increased by 13 percent to $23.43 for the fiscal year 2001 compared to $20.82 in fiscal 2000. This increase in cost was related to both the direct cost of labor and the decreases in productivity resulting from a greater percentage of inexperienced miners. This was due, in part, to the Company's efforts to increase production. In addition, heavy rains in southern West Virginia in July increased employee absenteeism and disrupted loading operations and rail service, slowing coal shipping. Other operational problems impacted production and costs throughout the fiscal year. Operating difficulties and problematic geologic conditions were encountered at several longwall mines and during the expansion of Massey's two large surface mines, where we experienced higher than expected overburden ratios in the first half of the year. The Ellis Eagle longwall mine experienced flooding that caused significant disruption to coal production during April and May. The flooding caused reduced shipments from both the Marfork and Goals preparation plants. Increases in operating costs related to the Martin County Coal slurry spill and the idling of the Martin County Coal preparation plant from October 11, 2000, to April 2, 2001, also negatively impacted cost of sales. Cost of sales for 2001 and 2000 includes credits of $9.5 million and $15.0 million, respectively, related to refunds of black lung excise taxes paid on coal export sales tonnage. Black lung excise taxes on exported coal were determined to be unconstitutional by a 1998 federal district court decision. During 2001, the Internal Revenue Service substantially completed its audit of the Company's requested refund of black lung excise tax payments. Cost of sales in 2001 also includes a $4.1 million benefit arising from the settlement of insurance claims from the August 2000 Upper Cedar Grove longwall failure. 23 Depreciation, depletion and amortization slightly increased to $181.3 million for 2001 from $171.3 million in 2000. The increase of $10 million was primarily due to the level of capital expenditures in recent years. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 10 percent to $31.7 million for 2001 compared with $35.4 million for 2000. This was due in part to a $7.1 million bad debt expense in 2000 associated with the bankruptcy of a major steel industry customer as well as a reduction in accruals related to long-term executive compensation plans, partially offset by additions to the administrative workforce associated with running a stand-alone publicly traded company. Interest income decreased to $8.7 million for 2001 compared to $25.7 million for 2000. This decrease was primarily due to the elimination of the Company's loans with Fluor Corporation in connection with the Spin-Off transaction on November 30, 2000. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2001, $3.2 million was accrued for interest due on the black lung excise tax refund as noted above, while in the third fiscal quarter of 2000, $5.3 million was accrued for interest on the black lung excise tax refund. Interest expense increased to $34.2 million for 2001. The increase was due to the addition of the 6.95 percent Senior Notes and commercial paper borrowings subsequent to the Spin-Off. Income tax benefit was $7.7 million for 2001 compared to an income tax expense of $43.4 million for 2000. This primarily reflects the loss before taxes for 2001 compared to income before taxes for 2000, as well as a depletion accounting income tax benefit of $4.5 million in 2001. 2000 Compared with 1999 Net sales remained essentially unchanged in 2000 compared with 1999. Net sales were $1,081.0 million in 2000 compared with $1,076.1 million for 1999. Three factors that impacted revenues during 2000 were: . The volume of steam coal sold increased by 14 percent in 2000 compared to 1999. . The volume of the higher priced metallurgical coal declined by 6 percent in 2000 compared to 1999. . The average realized prices for both steam and metallurgical coal declined by 5 percent in 2000 compared with 1999. The metallurgical coal market continued to be adversely affected by a weak coal export market and the slow recovery of the domestic steel market. Demand was weak for United States coal exported to foreign markets as the U.S. dollar remained strong. The market for steam coal continued to be adversely impacted by two factors: (1) mild weather and (2) competition from western coals, which increased its penetration of traditional eastern coal market areas. Other revenue, which consists of royalties, rentals, miscellaneous income and gains on the sale of non-strategic assets, increased 55 percent to $59.6 million for 2000 compared with $38.4 million for 1999. The increase was primarily due to an increase in income from dispositions of non-strategic mineral reserves which generated $26.5 million in 2000 compared with $10.2 million in 1999. As part of its management of coal reserves, Massey regularly sells non-strategic reserves or exchanges them for reserves located in more synergistic locations. Cost of sales increased 8 percent to $837.1 million for 2000 from $774.8 million in 1999. This was primarily due to the increase in tons sold by 6 percent from 37.9 million tons in 1999 to 40.2 million tons in 2000. Cost of sales for 2000 includes a $15.0 million credit related to refunds of black lung excise taxes paid on coal export sales tonnage. The payment of black lung excise taxes on exported coal was determined to be unconstitutional by a 1998 federal district court decision. During 2000, the Internal Revenue Service issued procedures for obtaining refunds related to such excise taxes. Cost of sales also included charges of $9 million related to a geological impairment related to the longwall development at the Upper Cedar Grove mine and a $3 million charge related to a slurry spill from the impoundment breach at Martin County Coal Corporation.Cost of sales on a per ton of coal sold basis, excluding the aforementioned items, increased by approximately 2 percent in 2000 compared with 1999 as operational problems and adverse geologic conditions encountered during the third and fourth quarters of 2000 more than offset cost reductions that had been achieved in the first two quarters of 2000. 24 Depreciation, depletion and amortization slightly increased to $171.3 million for 2000 from $167.6 million in 1999. The increase of $3.7 million was primarily due to capital expenditures made in recent years. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 8 percent to $35.4 million for 2000 compared with $32.7 million for 1999, due in part to a $5.8 million bad debt expense associated with the bankruptcy of a major steel industry customer offset some by a reduction in accruals related to long-term executive compensation plans. Interest income increased to $25.7 million for 2000 compared with $14.4 million for 1999. This increase of $11.3 million was primarily due to the additional interest income of $5.3 million related to the black lung excise tax refunds discussed above and a general increase in the floating interest rate on a note receivable from Fluor Corporation. Income taxes decreased 13 percent to $43.4 million for 2000 compared with $49.6 million in 1999. The decrease primarily reflects the decreased earnings in 2000 compared with 1999, partially offset by a rise in the effective tax rate to 35.5 percent for 2000 compared with 32.4 percent for 1999. Liquidity and Capital Resources At October 31, 2001, the Company's available liquidity was $147.5 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $5.7 million and $141.8 million remaining on the Company's commercial paper program. At October 31, 2001, Massey had $240.4 million of consolidated commercial paper (outstanding commercial paper of $257.9 million net of discount offset by $17.5 million of Massey commercial paper purchased by various Massey subsidiaries) included in short-term debt. In order to participate in the commercial paper market, the Company must maintain an investment grade rating as determined by both Moody's and Standard & Poor's, national rating agencies. Failure to maintain this rating would most likely result in increased interest expense, as the Company would be required to draw on its available liquidity backstop. On the date of the Spin-Off, Massey entered into $150 million 364-day and $250 million 3-year revolving credit facilities, which have been guaranteed by A. T. Massey, that serve to provide liquidity backstop to Massey's commercial paper program and are also available to meet the Company's ongoing liquidity needs. The $150 million 364-day facility has been renewed through November 26, 2002. Borrowings under these facilities bear interest based on (i) the London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR) plus a margin, which is based on the Company's credit rating as determined by Moody's and Standard & Poor's, (ii) the Base Rate (as defined in the facility agreements), and (iii) the Competitive Bid rate (as defined in the facility agreements). There were no borrowings outstanding under the credit facilities at October 31, 2001. The revolving credit facilities contain financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain various financial ratios. Failure by the Company to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default, which if not cured or waived could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The financial covenants consist of a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum interest coverage ratio, and a minimum net worth test. The leverage ratio requires that the Company not permit the ratio of total indebtedness at the end of any quarter to adjusted EBITDA for the four quarters then ended to exceed a specific amount. The interest coverage ratio requires that the Company not permit the ratio of the Company's adjusted EBITDA to interest expense for the four quarters then ended to be less than a specified amount. The net worth test requires that the Company not permit its net worth to be less than a specified amount. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at October 31, 2001. The Company expects that it was not in compliance with the covenant related to the leverage ratio at December 31, 2001, however, the participant banks have granted a temporary waiver of this financial covenant. The waiver expires on February 22, 2002. The Company is seeking to obtain an amendment to the covenant level prior to the expiration of the waiver and expects approval by the participant banks. If the Company is unable to obtain an amendment to the covenant level, it would most likely result in the Company seeking alternate sources of short-term financing, or issuing longer term debt, which the Company has available a $500 million debt shelf registration originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Fluor Corporation in March 1999. 25 The total debt-to-book capitalization ratio was 38.8 percent at October 31, 2001. The cash flow provided by operating activities was $202.6 million in 2001 and $154.3 million for the same period in 2000. Cash provided by operating activities reflects net earnings adjusted for non-cash charges and changes in working capital requirements.Net cash utilized in investing activities was $242.4 million in 2001, and $173.4 million in 2000. The cash used in investing activities reflects capital expenditures in the amount of $247.5 million and $204.8 million for the years ended October 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. These capital expenditures are for replacement of mining equipment, the expansion of mining capacity and projects to improve the efficiency of mining operations. Financing activities primarily reflect changes in amounts due from Fluor Corporation and other capital accounts associated with the Spin-Off transaction and being a publicly traded company. In addition to the cash spent on capital expenditures during the year of 2001, the Company leased, through operating leases, $109.0 million and $69.0 million of mining equipment in 2001 and 2000, respectively. Massey believes that cash generated from operations and its borrowing capacity will be sufficient to meet its working capital requirements, anticipated capital expenditures (other than major acquisitions), scheduled debt payments and anticipated dividend payments for at least the next several years. Nevertheless, the ability of Massey to satisfy its debt service obligations, to fund planned capital expenditures or pay dividends will depend upon its future operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions in the coal industry and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond Massey's control. Massey frequently evaluates potential acquisitions. In the past, Massey has funded acquisitions primarily with cash generated from operations, but Massey may consider a variety of other sources, depending on the size of any transaction, including debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance that such additional capital resources will be available to Massey on terms which Massey finds acceptable, or at all. Inflation Inflation in the United States has been relatively low in recent years and did not have a material impact on Massey's results of operations for the years presented. New Accounting Standards Effective November 1, 2000, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133") as amended by SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". The Statements require that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. The adoption of these accounting standards and subsequent implementation guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements. As part of ongoing accounting operations, management will continue to assess its financial instruments and activities for identification of transactions subject to the treatment of SFAS 133 and all related guidance. On August 15, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". The standard will require that retirement obligations be recorded as a liability based on the present value of the estimated cash flows. This SFAS is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002 and transition is by cumulative catch-up adjustment. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its financial statements. Outlook Massey expects a loss in the two-month stub period between October 31, 2001 fiscal year end and the January 1, 2002 beginning of its first calendar fiscal year due to a number of operational and non-operational issues. Mild weather, softening steel demand and the general economic recession have also caused Massey to lower its earlier estimate of 2002 Central Appalachian coal demand. Notwithstanding, production and profitability are expected to improve significantly over fiscal year 2001. 26 Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Discussions about Market Risk Massey's interest expense is sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates in the United States. At October 31, 2001, Massey had outstanding $300 million aggregate principal amount of debt under fixed-rate instruments; however, the Company's primary exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to its commercial paper program. At October 31, 2001, Massey had $258.2 million of aggregate principal amount of commercial paper outstanding ($257.9 million net of discount). At October 31, 2001 Massey's commercial paper bore interest at an average rate of 3.03 percent. Based on the commercial paper balance outstanding at October 31, 2001, a 100 basis point increase in the average issuance rate for Massey's commercial paper would increase Massey's annual interest expense by approximately $2.6 million. Almost all of Massey's transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars, and, as a result, it does not have material exposure to currency exchange-rate risks. 27 Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS To the Shareholders of Massey Energy Company We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Massey Energy Company as of October 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, cash flows, and shareholders' equity for each of the three years in the period ended October 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Massey Energy Company at October 31, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended October 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP Richmond, Virginia January 25, 2002 28 MASSEY ENERGY COMPANY CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF EARNINGS (In Thousands, Except Per Share Amounts) Year Ended October 31, -------------------------------- 2001 2000 1999 ---------- ---------- ---------- Net sales......................................... $1,203,285 $1,081,027 $1,076,059 Other revenue..................................... 50,471 59,645 38,393 ---------- ---------- ---------- Total revenue.............................. 1,253,756 1,140,672 1,114,452 ---------- ---------- ---------- Costs and expenses................................

Major Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Massey Energy Company ("Massey" or the "Company"), its wholly owned subsidiary A. T. Massey Coal Company, Inc. ("A. T. Massey") and its subsidiaries. A. T. Massey now represents the sole operating subsidiary of Massey, as Massey has no separate independent operations. Until the spin-off transaction on November 30, 2000 (the "Spin-Off") (See Note 9), A. T. Massey was 100% controlled by Fluor Corporation ("Fluor"). Therefore, these financial statements for all periods prior to 2001 may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Massey in the future or had it operated as a separate independent company. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements of the Company in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements. Therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents Securities with maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. Revenue Recognition Coal sales are generally recognized when title passes to the customers. For domestic sales, this generally occurs when coal is loaded at the mine or at off-site storage locations. For export sales, this generally occurs when coal is loaded onto marine vessels at terminal locations. Other revenue generally consists of royalties, rentals, miscellaneous income and gains on the sale of non-strategic assets. For the years ended October 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, the Company recorded gains on the sale of non-strategic reserves of $1.1 million, $26.5 million, and $10.2 million, respectively. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost and comprises: At October 31, ----------------------- 2001 2000 ------------ ---------- (in thousands) Land, buildings and equipment............................ $ 1,652,017 $1,561,122 Mining properties and mineral rights..................... 596,280 582,512 Mine development......................................... 466,777 373,418 ------------ ---------- Total property, plant and equipment...................... 2,715,074 2,517,052 Less accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization (1,101,941) (957,626) ------------ ---------- Net property, plant and equipment..................... $ 1,613,133 $1,559,426 ============ ========== Expenditures that extend the useful lives of existing buildings and equipment are capitalized. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. Coal exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs applicable to the opening of new coal mines and certain mine expansion projects are capitalized. When properties are retired or otherwise disposed, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any profit or loss on disposition is credited or charged to income. Depreciation of buildings, plant and equipment is calculated on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which generally range from 15 to 30 years for building and plant, and 3 to 20 years for equipment. 33 Depletion of mining properties and mineral rights and amortization of mine development costs are computed using the units-of-production method over the estimated recoverable tons. Reclamation The Company accrues for post-mining reclamation costs, as coal is mined, on a unit-of-production basis over the estimated recoverable tons. Accrued reclamation costs are regularly reviewed by management and are revised for changes in future estimated costs and regulatory requirements. Reclamation of disturbed acreage is performed as a normal part of the mining process. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Impairment of long-lived assets is recorded when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying value. The carrying value of the assets is then reduced to their estimated fair value which is usually measured based on an estimate of future discounted cash flows. During the third quarter of 2001, management decided to move a longwall to better mining conditions in another mining location. As a result, unamortized longwall panel development costs of $7.6 million were considered to be impaired and were written off. These charges are included in cost of sales. During the fourth quarter of 2000, due to poor and unsafe mining conditions, the Company abandoned certain longwall mining equipment and related longwall panel development costs. This resulted in a write-off of approximately $9 million, which is included in cost of sales. Advance Mining Royalties Leases which require minimum annual or advance payments and are recoverable from future production are generally deferred and charged to expense as the coal is subsequently produced. At October 31, 2001 and 2000, advance mining royalties included in other noncurrent assets totaled $29.8 and $27.5 million, respectively. Black Lung Benefits Coal mining subsidiaries are obligated to pay coal workers' pneumoconiosis (black lung) benefits to eligible recipients with respect to claims awarded on or after July 1, 1973. Charges are being made to operations based on annual evaluations prepared by the Company's independent actuaries. Income Taxes Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts. Earnings per Share Shares used to calculate basic earnings per share for the periods ended October 31, 2000 and 1999 is based on the number of shares outstanding immediately following the Spin-Off (see Note 9). The number of shares used to calculate basic loss per share for the period ended October 31, 2001 is based on the number of weighted average outstanding shares of Massey Energy during the period. Shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share for the periods ended October 31, 2000 and 1999 is based on the number of shares outstanding immediately following the Spin-Off and the dilutive effect of stock options and other stock-based instruments of Fluor Corporation, held by Massey employees, that were converted to equivalent instruments in Massey Energy Company in connection with the Spin-Off. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the effect of dilutive securities was excluded from the calculation of the diluted loss per common share for the period ended October 31, 2001 as such inclusion would result in antidilution. 34 The computations for basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share are based on the following per share information: At October 31, -------------------- 2001 2000 1999 ------ ------ ------ (in thousands) Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding:.............................. Basic.................................... 73,858 73,469 73,469 Effect of stock options/restricted stock. -- 3 7 ------ ------ ------ Diluted.................................. 73,858 73,472 73,476 ====== ====== ====== Inventories Purchased coal inventories are stated at the lower of cost, computed on the first-in, first-out method, or market value. Produced coal and supplies generally are stated at the lower of average cost or net realizable value. Inventories are comprised of the following: At October 31, ----------------- 2001 2000 -------- -------- (in thousands) Coal. $117,915 $ 82,636 Other 23,568 21,496 -------- -------- $141,483 $104,132 ======== ======== Longwall Panel Costs The Company defers certain costs related to the development of longwall panels within a deep mine. These costs are amortized over the life of the panel once it is placed in service. Longwall panel lives range from approximately eight to twelve months. At October 31, 2001 and 2000, deferred longwall panel costs included in other current assets totaled $52.0 million and $24.6 million, respectively. Internal Use Software The Company capitalizes certain costs incurred in the development of internal-use software, including external direct material and service costs, and employee payroll and payroll-related costs in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed for or Obtained for Internal Use." All costs capitalized are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life not to exceed 7 years. Concentrations of Credit Risk and Major Customers The Company is engaged in the production of high-quality low sulfur steam coal for the electric generating industry, as well as industrial customers and metallurgical coal for the steel industry. Steam coal sales accounted for approximately 54%, 50%, and 46% of consolidated net sales during 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. Metallurgical coal sales accounted for approximately 34%, 40%, and 45% of consolidated net sales during 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. Industrial coal sales during 2001, 2000, and 1999 were 12%, 10%, and 9% of consolidated net sales, respectively. Massey's mining operations are conducted in eastern Kentucky, West Virginia and Virginia and the coal is marketed primarily in the United States. 35 For the years ended October 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, approximately 11%, 14%,and 12%, respectively, of net sales were made to one utility customer. At October 31, 2001, approximately 25%, 63% and 12% of consolidated trade receivables represent amounts due from metallurgical customers, utility customers and industrial customers, respectively, compared with 51%, 40% and 9%, respectively, as of October 31, 2000. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition and generally collateral is not required. Derivatives Effective November 1, 2000, the Company adopted Statement of Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133") as amended by SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". The Statements require that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. The adoption of these accounting standards and subsequent implementation guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. Stock Plans The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related Interpretations. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options granted to employees is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the stock at the date of grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Compensation cost for stock appreciation rights and performance equity units is recorded based on the quoted market price of the Company's stock at the end of the period. Accounting Pronouncements On August 15, 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Accounting Standards No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". The standard will require that retirement obligations be recorded as a liability based on the present value of the estimated cash flows. This SFAS is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, and transition is by cumulative catch-up adjustment. The adoption of this accounting standard will take place during the Company's fiscal year 2003. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the standard will have on its financial statements. Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. 2. Income Taxes Income tax (benefit) expense included in the consolidated statement of earnings is as follows: Year Ended October 31, ------------------------- 2001 2000 1999 -------- ------- -------- (in thousands) Current: Federal............................ $(6,389) $13,735 $ 9,048 State and local.................... 148 1,447 (1,896) -------- ------- -------- Total current..................

Massey and Fluor until the date of the Spin-Off. A reconciliation of income tax (benefit) expense calculated at the federal statutory rate of 35% to the Company's income tax (benefit) expense on (loss) earnings is as follows: Year Ended October 31, -------------------------- 2001 2000 1999 -------- -------- -------- (in thousands) U.S. statutory federal tax expense.......... $(3,065) $ 42,775 $ 53,550 Increase (decrease) in taxes resulting from: State taxes.............................. 117 3,799 2,341 Items without tax effect................. 700 5,235 3,729 Depletion................................

The tax effects of significant temporary differences giving rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows: October 31, -------------------- 2001 2000 --------- --------- (in thousands) Deferred tax assets: Postretirement benefit obligations............. $ 28,422 $ 27,566 Worker's compensation.......................... 13,284 12,611 Reclamation and mine closure................... 32,416 34,123 Alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards... 59,549 59,549 Other.......................................... 35,246 30,339 --------- --------- 168,917 164,188 Valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.........

(342,952) (344,727) --------- --------- Net deferred tax liabilities........................ $(240,543) $(245,624) ========= ========= The Company's deferred tax assets include alternative minimum tax ("AMT") credits of $59.5 million each at October 31, 2001 and 2000. The AMT credits have no expiration date. Subsequent to the Spin-Off, the Company completed an assessment of its deferred tax balances and the liklihood of realizing AMT credit carryforwards as a stand-alone company. Management determined, more likely than not, that these credits will not be realized. Accordingly, the Company reclassified tax reserves at October 31, 2000 to reflect the full valuation allowance related to these credits. Massey's federal income tax returns have been examined by the Internal Revenue Service, or Statutes of Limitations have expired through 1997. Management believes that the Company has adequately provided for any income taxes and interest that may ultimately be paid with respect to all open tax years. 37 3. Retirement Benefits Prior to October 1, 2001, Massey sponsored two non-contributory defined benefit pension plans which covered substantially all administrative and non-union employees hired prior to September 1, 1994. As of October 1, 2001, these plans were merged together with each participant group retaining its benefit formula. These formulas provide pension benefits based on the employee's years of service and average annual compensation during the highest five consecutive years of service. In addition, the new merged plan covers substantially all administrative and non-union employees of the Company who were previously covered under a non-contributory defined contributory pension plan. These participants will accrue benefits under a third cash balance formula with contribution credits based on hours worked. Funding for the plan is generally at the minimum annual contribution level required by applicable regulations. The plans assets are held by an independent trustee and, in certain circumstances, by insurance carriers. The plans assets include cash and cash equivalents, corporate and government bonds, preferred and common stocks, investments in mutual funds and annuity contracts. The fair market value of the plans assets was $196 million at October 31, 2001. Net periodic pension income for the defined benefit pension plan includes the following components: Year Ended October 31, ---------------------------- 2001 2000 1999 -------- -------- -------- (in thousands) Service cost............................. $ 2,657 $ 2,509 $ 3,451 Interest cost............................ 9,498 9,114 8,987 Expected return on plan assets...........

The contributions are based on tons of coal produced and hours worked. Such payments aggregated approximately $0.1 million each in 2001, 2000 and 1999. Under the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefits Act of 1992, coal producers are required to fund medical and death benefits of certain retired union coal workers based on premiums assessed by the United Mine Workers of America. Based on available information at October 31, 2001, the Company's obligation (discounted at 7.25%) under the Act is estimated at approximately $52.3 million. The cost of the Company's obligation will be recognized as expense as payments are assessed. The Company expense related to this obligation for the years ended October 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999 totaled $5.0 million, $3.6 million, and $3.5 million, respectively. Certain union employees are covered by a non-contributory defined contribution pension plan. Contributions to the defined contribution retirement plan are based on hours worked. Until prior to October 1, 2001, the Company sponsored a separate non-contributory defined contribution pension plan for substantially all administrative and non-union employees, on September 30, 2001, the plan was frozen and assets were merged into an existing salary deferral and profit sharing plan. Employees covered under the frozen plan now participate in the defined benefit pension plan under the third formula discussed in the first paragraph of this Note. For certain employees, the Company sponsors a contributory defined contribution pension plan for eligible employees with Company contributions based on hours worked. Effective October 1, 2001, the salary deferral rate was increased from 10% to 15% of eligible compensation and the Company matches 30% on the first 10% of employee deferrals.The Company may make an additional discretionary contribution to the plan. For the years ended October 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, Company contributions to these three plans aggregated approximately $7.5 million, $5.6 million, and $5.4 million, respectively. 39 The Company also sponsors a salary deferral and profit sharing plan covering substantially all administrative and non-union employees. Effective October 1, 2001, the salary deferral rate was increased from 10% to 15% of eligible compensation and the Company matches 30% on the first 10% of employee deferrals. The Company may make additional discretionary contributions to the plan. Total Company contributions aggregated approximately $2.5 million, $2.2 million, and $2.6 million, in 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. The Company also sponsors defined benefit health care plans that provide post-retirement medical benefits to eligible union and non-union members. To be eligible, retirees must meet certain age and service requirements. Depending on year of retirement, benefits may be subject to annual deductibles, coinsurance requirements, lifetime limits, and retiree contributions. Service costs are accrued currently. The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at October 31, 2001 was determined in accordance with the current terms of the Company's health care plans, together with relevant actuarial assumptions and health care cost trend rates projected at an annual rate of 8.0 percent ranging down to 5.0 percent in 2007 (5.7% ranging down to 5.0% in 2002 at October 31, 2000), and remaining level thereafter. Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the medical plans. A one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects: 1-Percentage 1-Percentage -------------- -------------- Point Increase Point Decrease -------------- -------------- (in thousands) Effect on total of service and interest costs components..... $ 1,990 $ (1,591) Effect on accumulated postretirement benefit obligation...... $15,435 $(12,498) Net periodic postretirement benefit cost includes the following components: Year Ended October 31, ---------------------- 2001 2000 1999 ------ ------ ------ (in thousands) Service cost............................... $3,426 $3,543 $3,850 Interest cost.............................. 5,333 4,611 4,092 Amortization of prior service cost......... 140 140 140 ------ ------ ------ Net periodic postretirement benefit cost... $8,899 $8,294 $8,082 ====== ====== ====== The following table sets forth the change in benefit obligation of the Company's postretirement benefit plans: At October 31, ------------------- 2001 2000 --------- --------- (in thousands) Change in benefit obligation Benefit obligation at beginning of year........ $ 66,355 $ 58,203 Service cost................................... 3,426 3,543 Interest cost.................................. 5,333 4,611 Actuarial loss................................. 16,857 2,397 Benefits paid..................................

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Certain Company subsidiaries provide loans to West Virginia businesses at prevailing interest rates as part of an economic development program that provides tax credits as incentives. Outstanding loans at October 31, 2001 and 2000 amounted to $10.5 million and $11.3 million, respectively, of which $2.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively, are unsecured. These loans are estimated to be at fair value, after recording an allowance for loan losses of $2.1 million at October 31, 2001 and $2.9 million at October 31, 2000, based on future cash flows and related credit risk. The current portion of these notes is included in trade and other accounts receivable. The noncurrent portion is included in other noncurrent assets. Prior to the Spin-Off (see Note 9), the Company loaned funds in excess of its operating and capital needs to Fluor and received interest on the average daily balance at 130% of the federal short-term rate determined in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Fluor repaid these loans to the Company as the need arose. The Company believed these financial practices to be a fair arrangement with its prior parent and concluded that any further assessment to determine fair market value of amounts due from Fluor would not be cost beneficial. Interest income for 2001, 2000, and 1999 related to these loans amounted to $1.5 million, $16.6 million and $11.7 million, respectively. These loans were classified as a reduction to shareholders' equity in the consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2000, and were settled as part of the Spin-Off transaction. Included in other noncurrent assets as of October 31, 2000, is $21.8 million of Fluor commercial paper acquired in the open market at prevailing interest rates. As of the Spin-Off, Massey ceased to have any investment in Fluor commercial paper. Interest income associated with the Fluor commercial paper was not material for the year ended October 31, 2001, and amounted to $1.6 million for the year ended October 31, 2000 and $1.1 million for the year ended October 31, 1999. The commercial paper is classified as an available-for-sale security, and is carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Unrealized gains or losses are insignificant. Due to restrictions on the use of the commercial paper, it has been classified as a noncurrent asset. In addition, the Company has outstanding $248.2 million of short-term debt at October 31, 2001 (see Note 10). The carrying amount of this debt approximates its fair value. The Company's long-term debt consists entirely of 6.95 percent Senior Notes due March 1, 2007 (see Note 10). The fair value of the Senior Notes at October 31, 2001, based on currently available market information, was $305.9 million. 5. Other Noncurrent Liabilities Other noncurrent liabilities comprise the following: At October 31, ----------------- 2001 2000 -------- -------- (in thousands) Black lung obligation..................... $ 53,596 $ 24,033 Reclamation............................... 107,448 111,101 Other post-employment benefits (Note 3)... 72,061 65,952 Workers' compensation..................... 19,784 24,429 Other..................................... 55,141 32,092 -------- -------- $308,030 $257,607 ======== ======== 41 Coal mining companies are subject to the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969, as amended, and various states' statutes for the payment of medical and disability benefits to eligible recipients related to coal worker's pneumoconiosis (black lung). The Company provides for these claims principally through a self-insurance program. Trusteed assets available for idled company benefits of approximately $2.4 million and $29.8 million are applied to reduce the balance sheet amount of black lung obligations at October 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Charges are made to operations based on annual evaluation prepared by the Company's independent actuaries. The expense for 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, was determined using a discount rate of 7.75%. Black lung expense includes the following components: Year Ended October 31, ------------------------ 2001 2000 1999 ------ -------- -------- (in thousands) Service cost..................... $(316) $ 950 $ 767 Interest cost.................... 2,137 2,344 1,960 Amortization of actuarial gain... -- (3,492) (1,163) Interest on actuarial gain....... -- (270) (314) ------ -------- -------- Total black lung expense...... $1,821 $ (468) $ 1,250 ====== ======== ======== Under the Federal Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 and similar state statutes, mine property is required to be restored in accordance with regulated standards. The Company performs a certain amount of required reclamation of disturbed acreage as an integral part of its normal mining process. All such costs are expensed as incurred. Reclamation costs to be incurred upon final mine closure are estimated and accrued as mining progresses over the estimated useful mining life of the property. The costs relate to reclaiming the pit and support acreage of surface mines and sealing portals of deep mines. Other costs common to both types of mining are related to reclaiming refuse and slurry ponds. The establishment of the reclamation liability is based on permit requirements and requires various estimates and assumptions, principally associated with costs and productivities. For the years ended October 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, the Company accrued approximately $7 million, $5 million, and $6 million, respectively, towards final mine closure reclamation, excluding reclamation recosting adjustments identified below. The Company reviews its entire environmental liability annually and makes necessary adjustments, including permit changes and revisions to costs and productivities to reflect current experience. These recosting adjustments are recorded as a decrease in cost of sales and totaled $7.0 million, $4.2 million and $0.8 million for the years ended October 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. The Company's management believes it is making adequate provision for all expected future reclamation costs. Final reclamation costs for all operations as of October 31, 2001 are estimated to be approximately $153 million. 6. Stock Plans Massey's executive stock plans provide for grants of non-qualified or incentive stock options, restricted stock awards and stock appreciation rights ("SARS"). All executive stock plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee") comprised of outside directors. Option grant prices are determined by the Committee and are established at the fair value of the Company's common stock at the date of grant. Options and SARS normally extend for 10 years and become exercisable over a vesting period determined by the Committee, which can include accelerated vesting for achievement of performance or stock price objectives. Stock based grants (restricted shares, stock options and SARS as discussed herein) awarded to employees of the Company prior to the Spin-Off, were generally converted to equivalent instruments in Massey following its separation from Fluor. In this regard, the outstanding number of grants were increased by multiplying the applicable amount by 4.056 (the "Conversion Ratio"). Similarly, where applicable, the exercise price was reduced by dividing the exercise price prior to the Spin-Off by the Conversion Ratio. 42 During 2001 the Company issued 875,961 nonqualified stock options that vest over four years and expire in ten years. During 2000 and 1999, prior to the Spin-Off, 290,080 and 113,860 options (in Fluor stock), respectively, were awarded to Massey employees. The 2000 awards cliff vest after four years and expire in ten years, with accelerated vesting provisions based on the price of Massey's stock. The accelerated vesting provisions were achieved during the first quarter of 2001. The 1999 awards vest over four years and expire in ten years. No grants of SARS were made to Massey employees during the period 1999 through 2001. Restricted stock awards issued under the plans provide that shares awarded may not be sold or otherwise transferred until restrictions have lapsed or performance objectives have been attained. Upon termination of employment, shares upon which restrictions have not lapsed must be returned to the Company. Restricted stock issued under the plans totaled 266,411 shares in 2001. Prior to the Spin-Off, Fluor Corporation restricted stock issued to Massey employees totaled 31,390 shares in 2000 (117,618 shares when applying the Spin-Off conversion ratios at date of grant), and 42,647 shares in 1999 (98,946 shares when applying the Spin-Off conversion ratios at date of grant). As permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123), the Company has elected to continue following the guidance of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," for measurement and recognition of stock-based transactions with employees. For the fiscal years ended October 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, expenses related to Massey's various stock compensation plans totaled $5.8 million, $3.8 million and $6.3 million, respectively. Under APB Opinion No. 25, no compensation cost is recognized for the option plans where vesting provisions are based only on the passage of time. Had the Company recorded compensation expense using the accounting method recommended by SFAS No. 123, net earnings and diluted earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts as follows: Year ended October 31, 2001 2000 1999 ------------------------------------------------------------------ (in thousands, except per share amounts) Net (loss) earnings As reported......................... ($1,050) $78,804 $103,440 Pro forma........................... ($2,425) $77,204 $102,670 Diluted net (loss) earnings per share As reported......................... ($ 0.01) $ 1.07 $ 1.41 Pro forma........................... ($ 0.03) $ 1.05 $ 1.40 The estimated fair value as of the date of grant for options granted to Massey employees in 2001, 2000 and 1999 was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following weighted average assumptions (assumptions applied in 2000 and 1999 were determined by Fluor): 2001 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- Expected option lives (years) 5 6 6 Risk-free interest rates..... 4.29% 6.03% 4.43% Expected dividend yield...... 0.81% 1.74% 1.37% Expected volatility.......... 37.1% 39.8% 33.4% The weighted average fair value of options granted by the Company during 2001 was $7.22. The weighted average fair value of options granted by Fluor to Massey employees during 2000 and 1999 was $18.00 and $15.06, respectively (prior to conversion). 43 The following table summarizes stock option activity: Weighted Average ------------------------ Stock Exercise Price Options Per Share -------------------------------------------------------------------- Outstanding at October 31, 1998............ 335,816 $ 49.24 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Granted.................................... 113,860 $ 42.88 Expired or Cancelled.......................

Available for grant includes shares which may be granted as either stock options or restricted stock, as determined by the Committee under the Company's various stock plans. 7. Lease Obligations Certain mining and other equipment is leased under operating leases. Certain of these leases provide options for the purchase of the property at the end of the initial lease term, generally at its then fair market value, or to extend the terms at its then fair rental value. Rental expense for the years ended October 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999 was $54.3 million, $28.4 million, and $22.0 million, respectively. 44 The following presents future minimum rental payments, by year, required under operating leases with initial terms greater than one year, in effect at October 31, 2001: Minimum Rentals (in thousands) Year -------------- 2002...... $ 51,922 2003...... 47,354 2004...... 43,849 2005...... 39,968 2006...... 26,546 Thereafter 7,748 -------- $217,387 ======== 8. Contingencies and Commitments The Company is the subject of, or a party to, various suits and pending or threatened litigation involving governmental agencies or private interests. Also, the Company's operations are affected by federal, state and local laws and regulations regarding environmental matters and other aspects of its business. On October 20, 1999, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia issued an injunction which prohibits the construction of valley fills over both intermittent and perennial stream segments as part of mining operations. While the Company is not a party to this litigation, virtually all mining operations, including Massey, utilize valley fills to dispose of excess materials. On April 24, 2001, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals overruled the district court, finding that the 11/th/ Amendment to the U.S. Constitution barred the suit against WVDEP in Federal Court. On July 13, 2001, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals denied the plaintiffs' petition for rehearing. In October 2001, the plaintiffs appealed the Fourth Circuit decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. On January 22, 2002, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the appeal. Accordingly, challenges to WVDEP's enforcement of its mining program cannot be maintained in federal court. However, challenges may be raised in state court against WVDEP or in federal court against the federal Office of Surface Mining ("OSM"), the agency that oversees state regulation of surface mining. If and to the extent state courts rule that the WVDEP is prohibited from issuing permits for the construction of valley fills or federal courts rule that OSM is compelled to impose such a prohibition on WVDEP, all or a portion of Massey's mining operations could be affected if legislation is not passed which limits the impact of such a ruling. Harman Mining Corporation and certain of its affiliates (collectively "Harman") filed a breach of contract actions against Wellmore Coal Corporation, a former Massey subsidiary, in Buchanan County, Virginia Circuit Court. On August 24, 2000, as part of the damages phase of the trial, a jury awarded damages in the amount of $6 million. Massey's subsidiary, Knox Creek Coal Corporation, has assumed the defense of this action under the terms of the stock purchase agreement by which it sold the stock of Wellmore and, on August 6, 2001 filed a petition for appeal of the adverse determination on liability and damages to the Supreme Court of Virginia. On October 11, 2000, a partial failure of Martin County Coal Corporation's coal refuse impoundment released approximately 230 million gallons of coal slurry into adjacent underground mine workings. The slurry then discharged into two tributary streams of the Big Sandy River in eastern Kentucky. No one was injured in the discharge. Clean up efforts began immediately and are largely complete. The States of Kentucky and West Virginia have issued various notices of violation related to the discharge and ordered remedial measures. Fines and penalties, which may not be covered by insurance, have not yet been assessed. The Company has begun informal discussions with various agencies with respect to the resolution of the notices of violation, including potential fines and penalties. Several lawsuits have been brought by downstream residents and other individual plaintiffs claiming to be damaged by the spill. These suits assert trespass, property damage, nuisance and other claims, and seek compensatory and punitive damages. Certain of these suits seek to be certified as class action lawsuits. These lawsuits remain in their initial stages. 45 Martin County Coal is continuing to seek approval from the applicable agencies for alternate refuse disposal options related to operations of Martin County Coal's preparation plant. The Company recorded a $3 million charge in the fourth quarter of 2000 relating to the slurry spill. The charge represents an accrual of $46.5 million in estimated spill-related clean-up costs and liabilities net of $43.5 million in probable insurance recoveries. In the consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2001 and 2000, the environmental accruals of $11.5 million and $46.5 million, respectively, are included in other current liabilities and probable insurance recoveries of $20.5 million and $43.5 million, respectively, are included in trade and other accounts receivable. Massey continues to seek insurance reimbursement of any and all covered costs. Although the remediation efforts are largely complete, the degree of uncertainty with respect to potential claims, fines and penalties make it reasonably possible that the Company's estimates with respect to the slurry spill could change. The outcome or timing of current legal or environmental matters or the impact, if any, of pending legislation or regulatory developments (including the matters noted above) on future operations is not currently estimable. However, management does not currently anticipate that such activity will result in amounts which in the aggregate would have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position. 9. Spin-Off Transaction On November 30, 2000, Fluor Corporation ("Fluor") completed a reverse spin-off, which divided it into two separate publicly-traded corporations. As a result of the reverse spin-off (the "Spin-Off"), Fluor separated into (i) the spun-off corporation, "new" Fluor Corporation ("New Fluor"), which owns all of Fluor's then existing businesses except for the coal-related business conducted by A. T. Massey Coal Company, Inc. ("A.T. Massey"), and (ii) Fluor Corporation, subsequently renamed Massey Energy Company, which owns the coal-related business. Further discussion of the Spin-Off may be found in Massey's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2000 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Immediately after the Spin-Off, Massey had 73,468,707 shares of $0.625 par value common stock outstanding. In connection with the Spin-Off, A. T. Massey became the sole direct, and wholly owned subsidiary of Massey. Due to the relative significance of the businesses transferred to New Fluor following the Spin-Off, New Fluor has been treated as the "accounting successor" for financial reporting purposes, and the Company has been treated by New Fluor as a discontinued operation despite the legal form of separation resulting from the Spin-Off. As a result of the Spin-Off, the following occurred which affected Massey's ongoing operations: . Massey no longer invests in Fluor commercial paper; . Massey no longer loans amounts in excess of operating and capital needs to Fluor and the amounts due from Fluor were repaid as part of the Spin-Off; . Fluor's previously issued $300 million of 6.95 percent Senior Notes due March 1, 2007, with interest payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 of each year, became the obligation of Massey; and . Massey issued $275 million of its own commercial paper and utilized $3.5 million of cash to refund the $278.5 million of Fluor commercial paper assumed as a result of the Spin-Off. Massey's equity structure was also impacted as a result of the Spin-Off. As noted above, Massey assumed from Fluor $300 million of 6.95 percent Senior Notes, $278.5 million of Fluor commercial paper, other equity contributions from Fluor, and assumed Fluor's common stock equity structure. 46 10. Debt The Company's outstanding short-term debt at October 31, 2001 consists of $240.4 million of consolidated commercial paper and a note payable due November 1, 2001, of $7.8 million. The weighted average maturity of the commercial paper was 14.7 days at October 31, 2001. The weighted average effective interest rate of the outstanding commercial paper was 3.03 percent at October 31, 2001. Massey has $150 million 364-day and $250 million 3-year revolving credit facilities, which have been guaranteed by A. T. Massey, that serve to provide liquidity backstop to Massey's commercial paper program and are also available to meet the Company's ongoing liquidity needs. Borrowings under these facilities bear interest based on (i) the London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR) plus a margin, which is based on the Company's credit rating as determined by Moody's and Standard & Poor's, (ii) the Base Rate (as defined in the facility agreements) and (iii) the Competitive Bid Rate (as defined in the facility agreements). There were no borrowings outstanding under these facilities at October 31, 2001. The revolving credit facilities contain financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain various financial ratios. Failure by the Company to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default, which if not cured or waived could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The financial covenants were amended as of October 31, 2001, for the periods ending October 31, 2001, through March 31, 2002. The Company was in compliance with these amended covenants at October 31, 2001. The Company expects that it was not in compliance with the amended covenant related to debt to EBITDA at December 31, 2001, however, the participant banks have granted a temporary waiver of this financial covenant. The waiver expires on February 22, 2002. The Company is seeking to obtain an amendment to the covenant level prior to the expiration of the waiver and expects approval by the bank participants. If the Company is unable to obtain an amendment to the covenant level, it would most likely result in the Company seeking alternate sources of short-term financing, or issuing longer term debt, which the Company has available through a $500 million debt shelf registration originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Fluor Corporation in March 1999. As a result of the Spin-Off (see Note 9), the Company assumed from Fluor $300 million of previously issued 6.95 percent Senior Notes (the "Notes") due March 1, 2007. The Notes were issued in March 1997 and were sold at a discount for an aggregate price of $296.7 million. Interest is payable semiannually on March 1 and September 1 of each year, commencing September 1, 1997. The Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company at any time at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100 percent of the principal amount of the Notes or (ii) as determined by a Quotation Agent as defined in the offering prospectus. Total interest paid for the period ended October 31, 2001, was $34.8 million and was not material for the periods ended October 31, 2000 and 1999. 11. Appalachian Synfuel, LLC On March 15, 2001, the Company sold a substantial interest in its synfuel producing subsidiary, Appalachian Synfuel, LLC, contingent upon a favorable Internal Revenue Service ruling, which was received in September 2001. The Company received cash of $3.6 million, a recourse promissory note for $15.2 million that will be paid in quarterly installments of $765,000 including interest, and a contingent promissory note that is paid on a cents per Section 29 credit dollar earned based on synfuel tonnage shipped. A deferred gain of $11.9 million as of October 31, 2001, is included in other noncurrent liabilities to be recognized ratably through 2007. The Company will continue to manage the facility under an operating agreement. 47 12.

Subsequent Events In December 2001, a substantial customer, Enron Corporation, filed for bankruptcy protection. As a result, the Company increased its reserve to $7.5 million in December 2001 related to its exposure to this customer. The West Virginia Workers Compensation Division filed suits in April 1998 against several coal companies, including several subsidiaries of Massey, for delinquent workers' compensation premiums from the 1980s and early 1990s owed by former contractors and licensees of such coal companies. In late 1999, the West Virginia Workers Compensation Division agreed to dismiss these lawsuits. In early 2001, the Affiliated Construction Trades Council filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of McDowell County, West Virginia seeking to reinstate 48 these lawsuits. By opinion dated October 23, 2001, the court held that the cases could be reinstated. In December 2001, in lieu of potentially reinstating the lawsuits, the State of West Virginia and several coal operators, including Massey, began discussions regarding a settlement of potential claims. In January 2002, Massey agreed to settle such claims for $6.9 million in exchange for a release of all such claims. On January 2, 2002, WVDEP entered an order finding a pattern of violations and suspending Green Valley's above-referenced refuse area permits for three days. Green Valley obtained a stay of enforcement of the order pending appeal and filed an appeal of the order. On January 14, 2002, WVDEP entered an order finding a pattern of violations and suspending operations on Marfork's refuse impoundment permit for fourteen days. Marfork obtained a stay of enforcement of the order pending appeal and filed an appeal of the order. Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
