INTERNATIONAL COAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
September 30, 2010
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

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

On October 13, 2010, the Company repurchased an additional $10,279 aggregate principal amount of its 2012 Convertible Notes for $13,731 in cash, incurring a loss of $331 that was recognized subsequent to September 30, 2010. The remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.
 
   Additionally, the Company secured a new four-year $125,000 asset-based loan facility (the “ABL Loan Facility”) to replace its prior revolving credit facility which was set to expire in June 2011. The ABL Loan Facility provides the potential for $25,000 in additional borrowing capacity, contains minimal financial covenants and matures in February 2014. The ABL Loan Facility has been used primarily for issuing letters of credit that collateralize the Company’s reclamation bonds.

   The 2017 Convertible Notes are convertible into the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price, subject to adjustment, of $5.81 per share (approximating 172.0874 shares per one thousand dollar principal amount of the 2017 Convertible Notes). Holders may convert their notes at their option prior to January 1, 2017 only under the following circumstances: (i) during any calendar quarter after the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2010 (and only during that quarter), if the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock for each of 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds 130% of the conversion price of such notes in effect on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (ii) during the five consecutive business days immediately after any five consecutive trading day period, or the note measurement period, in which the trading price per note for each trading day of that note measurement period was equal to or less than 97% of the product of the closing sale price of shares of the Company’s common stock and the applicable conversion rate for such trading day; and (iii) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions. In addition, the notes will be convertible irrespective of the foregoing circumstances from, and including, January 1, 2017 to, and including, the business day immediately preceding April 1, 2017. Upon conversion, the Company will have the right to deliver cash, shares of its common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. At any time on or prior to the 23rd business day immediately preceding the maturity date, the Company may irrevocably elect to deliver solely shares of its common stock in respect of the Company’s conversion obligation or pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be converted and deliver shares of its common stock, cash or a combination thereof in respect of the remainder, if any, of the conversion obligation. It is the Company’s current intention to settle the principal amount of any notes converted in cash. The conversion rate, and thus the conversion price, will be subject to adjustment. A holder that surrenders notes for conversion in connection with a “make-whole fundamental change” that occurs before the maturity date may in certain circumstances be entitled to an increased conversion rate. In the event the 2017 Convertible Notes become convertible, the Company would be required to classify the entire amount outstanding of the 2017 Convertible Notes as a current liability. For a discussion of the effects of the 2017 Convertible Notes on earnings per share, see Note 10.
 
As of September 30, 2010, the equity component of the 2017 Convertible Notes was $20,786 and is included in additional paid-in capital. Interest expense resulting from amortization of the debt discount was $879 and $1,906 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. Interest expense on the principal amount of the 2017 Convertible Notes was $1,150 and $2,492 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. The Company has determined its non-convertible borrowing rate would have been 10.1% at issuance.

9.00% Convertible senior notes due 2012—In December 2009, the Company entered into a series of privately negotiated agreements in order to induce conversions of its outstanding 2012 Convertible Notes. In connection with such agreements, the Company issued a total of 18,660,550 shares of its common stock in exchange for $63,498 aggregate principal amount of its 2012 Convertible Notes during December 2009. One of the exchange agreements, as amended, provided for closing of additional exchanges on each of January 11, 2010 and January 19, 2010 for exchange transactions occurring in 2010. Subsequent to December 31, 2009, the noteholder exchanged $22,000 aggregate principal amount of 2012 Convertible Notes for 6,198,668 shares of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, through September 30, 2010, the Company used the net proceeds from its Common Stock and 2017 Convertible Notes offerings (see Note 3) to finance the repurchase of $128,492 aggregate principal amount of 2012 Convertible Notes, $114,489 of which closed on April 6, 2010 and $14,003 of which closed on September 30, 2010. On October 13, 2010, the Company repurchased an additional $10,279 aggregate principal amount of its 2012 Convertible Notes for $13,731 in cash, incurring a loss of $331 that was recognized subsequent to September 30, 2010.
 
The 2012 Convertible Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company’s material current and future domestic subsidiaries. The 2012 Convertible Notes and the related guarantees rank equal in right of payment to all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ respective existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1st and August 1st of each year. The Company assesses the convertibility of the 2012 Convertible Notes on an ongoing basis. The 2012 Convertible Notes were not convertible as of September 30, 2010.
 
The principal amount of the 2012 Convertible Notes is payable in cash and amounts above the principal amount, if any, will be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock or, at the Company’s option, cash. The 2012 Convertible Notes are convertible at an initial conversion price, subject to adjustment, of $6.10 per share (approximating 163.8136 shares per one thousand dollar principal amount of the 2012 Convertible Notes). The 2012 Convertible Notes are convertible upon the occurrence of certain events, including (i) prior to February 12, 2012 during any calendar quarter after September 30, 2007, if the closing sale price per share of the Company’s common stock for each of 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds 130% of the conversion price in effect on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (ii) prior to February 12, 2012 during the five consecutive business days immediately after any five consecutive trading day period in which the average trading price for the notes on each day during such five trading day period was equal to or less than 97% of the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on such day multiplied by the then current conversion rate; (iii) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions; and (iv) at any time from, and including February 1, 2012 until the close of business on the second business day immediately preceding August 1, 2012. In addition, upon events defined as a “fundamental change” under the 2012 Convertible Notes indenture, the Company may be required to repurchase the 2012 Convertible Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. In the event the 2012 Convertible Notes become convertible, the Company would be required to classify the entire amount outstanding of the 2012 Convertible Notes as a current liability. In addition, if conversion occurs in connection with certain changes in control, the Company may be required to deliver additional shares of the Company’s common stock (a “make-whole” premium) by increasing the conversion rate with respect to such notes. For a discussion of the effects of the 2012 Convertible Notes on earnings per share, see Note 10.

The Company has determined its non-convertible borrowing rate would have been 11.7% at issuance.
 
   9.125% Senior notes due 2018—On March 22, 2010, the Company completed a public offering of $200,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2018 Senior Notes, with net proceeds of $193,596 to the Company after deducting discounts and underwriting fees of $6,404. Interest on the 2018 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1st and October 1st of each year, commencing October 1, 2010. The obligations under the 2018 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by all of the Company’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries other than subsidiaries that are designated as unrestricted subsidiaries. The 2018 Senior Notes and the guarantees are secured by a second-priority lien on, and security interest in, substantially all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ assets, junior to first-priority liens that secure the Company’s ABL Loan Facility and certain other permitted liens under the indenture that governs the notes. Prior to April 1, 2014, the Company may redeem all or a part of the 2018 Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus an applicable “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. The Company may redeem the 2018 Senior Notes, in whole or in part, beginning on April 1, 2014. The initial redemption price will be 104.563% of their aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The redemption price declines to 102.281% and 100.000% of their aggregate principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, on April 1, 2015 and April 1, 2016 and thereafter, respectively. In addition, at any time and from time to time prior to April 1, 2013, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the 2018 Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 109.125% of its principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest using proceeds from sales of certain kinds of the Company’s capital stock. Upon the occurrence of a change of control or the sale of the Company’s assets, it may be required to repurchase some or all of the notes.
 
The indenture governing the 2018 Senior Notes contains covenants that limit the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, issue preferred stock, pay dividends, repurchase, repay or redeem its capital stock, make certain investments, sell assets and incur liens. As of September 30, 2010, the Company was in compliance with its covenants under the indenture.
 
10.25% Senior notes due 2014—The Company used the net proceeds from its 2017 Senior Notes offering (see Note 3) to finance the repurchase of $175,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2014 Senior Notes, $169,074 of which closed on March 22, 2010, $50 of which closed on April 5, 2010 and $5,876 of which closed on July 15, 2010.

Asset-based loan facility—On February 22, 2010, the Company entered into an ABL Loan Facility which replaced its prior senior secured credit facility. The ABL Loan Facility is a $125,000 senior secured facility with a four-year term, all of which is available for loans or the issuance of letters of credit. Subject to certain conditions, at any time prior to maturity, the Company will be able to elect to increase the size of the ABL Loan Facility, up to a maximum of $200,000. Availability under the ABL Loan Facility is determined using a borrowing base calculation. The ABL Loan Facility is guaranteed by all of the Company’s current and future wholly-owned subsidiaries and secured by a first priority security interest on all of the Company’s and each of the Company’s guarantors’ existing and after-acquired real and personal property, including all outstanding equity interests of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. The ABL Loan Facility has a maturity date of February 22, 2014. The ABL Loan Facility has an early acceleration provision if more than $20,000 aggregate principal amount of 2012 Convertible Notes were to have remained outstanding as of January 31, 2012. With the repurchases of the 2012 Convertible Notes that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and in October 2010, this provision has been satisfied. As of September 30, 2010, the Company had a borrowing capacity of $109,932 under the ABL Loan Facility with no borrowings outstanding, letters of credit totaling $87,401 outstanding and $22,531 available for future borrowing, and was in compliance with its financial covenants under the ABL Loan Facility. The ABL Loan Facility was amended on May 6, 2010 for minor technical corrections.
 
Equipment notes—The equipment notes, having various maturity dates extending to September 2014, are collateralized by mining equipment. As of September 30, 2010, the Company had amounts outstanding with terms ranging from 36 to 60 months and a weighted-average interest rate of 7.38%. As of September 30, 2010, the Company had a borrowing capacity of $16,389 available under its revolving equipment credit facility for terms from 36 to 60 months at interest rates ranging from 5.65% to 6.15%.
 
Capital lease and other—The Company leases certain mining equipment under a capital lease. The Company imputed interest on its capital lease using a rate of 10.44%. 
 
Short-Term Debt
 
The Company finances the majority of its annual insurance premiums with the related obligation included in short-term debt. The weighted-average interest rate applicable to the notes was 2.11% at September 30, 2010. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had $1,091 and $2,166, respectively, outstanding related to insurance financing.

(7) Income Taxes
 
   The effective income tax rates applied to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were calculated using estimated annual effective rates based on projected earnings for the respective years, exclusive of discrete items. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2010 decreased to 7% from an effective income tax rate of 24% applied to the three months ended September 30, 2009, primarily resulting from the effect of an increase in forecasted income tax deductions for depletion of mineral rights. The effective income tax rate applied to the nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased to 8% from an effective income tax rate of 22% applied to the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily resulting from the effect of an increase in forecasted income tax deductions for depletion of mineral rights.
 
For the three months ended September 30, 2010, discrete items of $1,218 were comprised of tax benefits of $765 for tax return adjustments and other miscellaneous discrete items, $303 for the loss on the repurchase of 2012 Convertible Notes and $150 for the loss on the repurchase of 2014 Senior Notes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, discrete items of $10,516 were comprised of tax benefits of $6,438 for the loss on the repurchases of 2014 Senior Notes and $4,198 for the loss on repurchases and exchanges of 2012 Convertible Notes and $709 for tax return adjustments and other miscellaneous discrete items, as well as tax expense of $829 related to the Health Care Reform and Education Reconciliations Act taxation of Medicare Part D. There were no significant discrete items excluded from the estimated annual effective rate calculations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“PPACA”) and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (“HCERA” or, collectively with PPACA, the “Health Care Reform Act”) were enacted into law. The Health Care Reform Act is a comprehensive health care reform bill that includes a provision to remove lifetime caps on medical plans. The Company’s retiree medical plan has such a cap and, as a result of the Health Care Reform Act, it remeasured its postretirement benefit obligation resulting in an additional liability of $6,323. The prior service cost associated with the plan change will be amortized over the average remaining working life of the related employees. The Company incurred additional expense of $422 and $844 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, related to the remeasurement.

Under the Health Care Reform Act, the Company will no longer receive a federal income tax deduction for the expenses incurred in connection with providing the subsidized coverage to the extent of the subsidy received. Because future anticipated retiree prescription drug plan liabilities and related subsidies are already reflected in the Company’s financial statements, this change required it to reduce the value of the related tax benefits recognized in its financial statements in the period during which the Health Care Reform Act was enacted. As a result, the Company recorded a one-time, non-cash income tax charge of $829 during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to reflect the impact of this change.

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

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

Options to purchase 2,718,432 and 2,741,232 shares of common stock outstanding at September 30, 2010 have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Options to purchase 2,736,072 and 2,755,272 shares of common stock outstanding at September 30, 2009 have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
 
The Company currently intends to settle the principal amount of the 2017 Convertible Notes in cash and amounts above the principal amount, if any, will be settled with shares of the Company’s common stock or, at the Company’s option, cash. The volume weighted-average price of the Company’s common stock for the applicable cash settlement averaging period of the 2017 Convertible Notes was below the initial conversion price of $5.81 per share. Accordingly, there were no potentially dilutive shares related to the 2017 Convertible Notes at September 30, 2010. The principal amount of the 2012 Convertible Notes is payable in cash and amounts above the principal amount, if any, will be settled with shares of the Company’s common stock or, at the Company’s option, cash. The volume weighted-average price of the Company’s common stock for the applicable cash settlement averaging period of the 2012 Convertible Notes was below the initial conversion price of $6.10 per share. Accordingly, there were no potentially dilutive shares related to the 2012 Convertible Notes at September 30, 2010 and 2009.

 (11) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are determined based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainty and cannot be determined with precision. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Short-Term Debt and Other Current Liabilities—The carrying amounts approximate the fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
 
Long-term Debt—The fair value of the convertible notes and senior notes were based upon their respective values in active markets or the Company’s best estimate using market information. The fair value of the aggregate principal amounts outstanding as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are as follows:

(12) Commitments and Contingencies
 
Legal Matters—On August 23, 2006, a survivor of the Sago mine accident, Randal McCloy, filed a complaint in the Kanawha Circuit Court in Kanawha County, West Virginia. The claims brought by Randal McCloy and his family against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, and against W.L. Ross & Co., and Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., individually, were dismissed on February 14, 2008, after the parties reached a confidential settlement. Sixteen other complaints have been filed in Kanawha Circuit Court by the representatives of many of the miners who died in the Sago mine accident, and several of these plaintiffs have filed amended complaints to expand the group of defendants in the cases. The complaints allege various causes of action against the Company and its subsidiary, Wolf Run Mining Company, one of its shareholders, W.L. Ross & Co., and Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., individually, related to the accident and seek compensatory and punitive damages. In addition, the plaintiffs also allege causes of action against other third parties, including claims against the manufacturer of Omega block seals used to seal the area where the explosion occurred and against the manufacturer of self-contained self-rescuer (“SCSR”) devices worn by the miners at the Sago mine. Some of these third parties have been dismissed from the actions upon settlement. The amended complaints add other of the Company’s subsidiaries to the cases, including ICG, Inc., ICG, LLC and Hunter Ridge Coal Company, unnamed parent, subsidiary and affiliate companies of the Company, W.L. Ross & Co., and Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., and other third parties, including a provider of electrical services and a supplier of components used in the SCSR devices. The Company believes that it is appropriately insured for these and other potential claims, and has fully paid its deductible applicable to its insurance policies. In addition to the dismissal of the McCloy claim, the Company has settled and dismissed five other actions. These settlements required the release of the Company, its subsidiaries, W.L. Ross & Co., and Wilbur L. Ross, Jr. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the remaining complaints.

   Allegheny Energy Supply (“Allegheny”), the sole customer of coal produced at the Company’s subsidiary Wolf Run Mining Company’s (“Wolf Run”) Sycamore No. 2 mine, filed a lawsuit against Wolf Run, Hunter Ridge Holdings, Inc. (“Hunter Ridge”), and the Company in state court in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania on December 28, 2006, and amended its complaint on April 23, 2007. Allegheny claims that Wolf Run breached a coal supply contract when it declared force majeure under the contract upon idling the Sycamore No. 2 mine in the third quarter of 2006, and that Wolf Run continues to breach the contract by failing to ship in volumes referenced in the contract. The Sycamore No. 2 mine was idled after encountering adverse geologic conditions and abandoned gas wells that were previously unidentified and unmapped. After extensive searching for gas wells and rehabilitation of the mine, it was re-opened in 2007, but with notice to Allegheny that it would necessarily operate at reduced volumes in order to safely and effectively avoid the many gas wells within the reserve. The amended complaint also alleges that the production stoppages constitute a breach of the guarantee agreement by Hunter Ridge and breach of certain representations made upon entering into the contract in early 2005, a claim that Allegheny has since voluntarily dropped. Allegheny claims that it will incur costs in excess of $100,000 to purchase replacement coal over the life of the contract. The Company, Wolf Run and Hunter Ridge answered the amended complaint on August 13, 2007, disputing all of the remaining claims. On November 3, 2008, the Company, Wolf Run and Hunter Ridge filed an amended answer and counterclaim against the plaintiffs seeking to void the coal supply agreement due to, among other things, fraudulent inducement and conspiracy. The counterclaim alleges further that Allegheny breached a confidentiality agreement with Hunter Ridge, which prohibited the solicitation of its employees. After the coal supply agreement was executed, Allegheny hired the then-president of Anker Coal Group, Inc. (now Hunter Ridge) who engaged in negotiations on behalf of Wolf Run and Hunter Ridge. In addition to seeking a declaratory judgment that the coal supply agreement and guaranty be deemed void and unenforceable and rescission of the contracts, the counterclaim also seeks compensatory and punitive damages. On September 23, 2009, Allegheny filed a second amended complaint alleging several alternative theories of liability in its effort to extend contractual liability to the Company, which was not a party to the original contract and did not exist at the time Wolf Run and Allegheny entered into the contract. No new substantive claims were asserted. The Company answered the second amended complaint on October 13, 2009, denying all of the new claims. The Company’s counterclaim was dismissed on motion for summary judgment entered on May 11, 2010. Allegheny’s claims against International Coal Group, Inc. were also dismissed by summary judgment, but the claims against Wolf Run and Hunter Ridge remain pending. The court has set a trial date of January 10, 2011 for trial of this matter.

   On January 7, 2008, Saratoga Advantage Trust (“Saratoga”) filed a class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia against the Company and certain of its officers and directors seeking unspecified damages. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, based on alleged false and misleading statements in the registration statements filed in connection with the Company’s November 2005 reorganization and December 2005 public offering of common stock. In addition, the complaint challenges other of the Company’s public statements regarding its operating condition and safety record. On July 6, 2009, Saratoga filed an amended complaint asserting essentially the same claims but seeking to add an individual co-plaintiff. The Company has filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. The Company intends to vigorously defend the action.
 
On June 11, 2010, the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (“WVDEP”) filed suit against ICG Eastern, LLC (“ICG Eastern”) alleging violations of the West Virginia Water Pollution Control/National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (“WVNPDES”) and Surface Mine Permits for ICG Eastern’s Birch River surface mine. The WVDEP alleges that ICG Eastern has failed to fully comply with the effluent limits for aluminum, manganese, pH, iron and selenium contained in its WVNPDES permit. The complaint further alleges that violations of the WVNPDES permit effluent limits have caused violations of water quality standards for the same parameters in the streams receiving the discharges from this mine. The WVDEP also alleges that violations of the effluent limits in the WVNPDES permits are also violations of the regulations governing surface mining in West Virginia. The WVDEP’s complaint seeks the imposition of civil penalties and relief that, if granted, may impose new or more stringent treatment requirements for ICG Eastern’s outlets. ICG Eastern has filed an answer and raised affirmative defenses to the WVDEP’s complaint. The Company intends to vigorously defend this matter.
 
   In addition, from time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. These proceedings include assessments of penalties for citations and orders asserted by the Mine Safety and Health Administration and other regulatory agencies, none of which are expected by management to, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company. In the opinion of management, the Company has recorded adequate reserves for liabilities arising in the ordinary course and it is management’s belief there is no individual case or group of related cases pending that is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

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

Coal sales revenues—Coal sales revenues are derived from sales of produced coal and brokered coal contracts. Coal sales revenues increased for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009 due to an increase in sales realization of $7.73 per ton resulting primarily from favorable pricing of metallurgical coal in the third quarter of 2010 and a 5% increase in tons sold driven by improved demand for both metallurgical and thermal coal.
 
25
 

 
 

 

 
 
Central Appalachian. Coal sales revenues from our Central Appalachian segment for the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased over the same period in 2009 due to an increase in sales realization of $6.62 per ton driven by higher average contract prices of metallurgical coal and a 2% increase in tons sold.
 
Northern Appalachian. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, our Northern Appalachian coal sales revenues increased compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009 as a result of increased sales realization of $17.10 per ton, as well as a 21% increase in tons sold. The increase in sales realization and tons sold is a result of increased participation in the spot market due to more favorable pricing of metallurgical coal.
 
Illinois Basin. The increase in coal sales revenues from our Illinois Basin segment for the three months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily due to an 8% increase in tons sold, primarily on long-term thermal coal supply contracts, as well as an increase in sales realization of $0.72 per ton.
 
Ancillary. Our Ancillary segment’s coal sales revenues are comprised of coal sold under brokered coal contracts. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, our Ancillary coal sales revenues decreased 35%, primarily due to a 29% decrease in tons sold related to the expiration of certain coal supply agreements, as well as to decreased shipments on various remaining contracts. This decrease was further impacted by decreased realization of $4.78 per ton sold during the three months ended September 30, 2010 as a result of less favorable contract pricing for our coal as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009.
 
Freight and handling revenues—Freight and handling revenues represent reimbursement of freight and handling costs for certain shipments for which we initially pay the costs and are then reimbursed by the customer. Freight and handling revenues and costs increased for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009, primarily due to an increase in sales volumes on shipments with related freight and handling.
 
Other revenues—The decrease in other revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009 was primarily due to a $27.0 million payment received for early termination of two related coal supply agreements and lost margin on pre-termination shipments and the sale of a highwall mining system during the three months ended September 30, 2009. Further impacting other revenues was a decrease in contract mining revenues from the comparable period of 2009.

Cost of coal sales—For the three months ended September 30, 2010, cost of coal sales increased compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009 as a result of a 5% increase in tons sold and a 4% increase in cost of coal sales per ton.
 
Central Appalachian. Cost of coal sales from our Central Appalachian segment increased due to an increase in cost of coal sales per ton from $57.19 per ton for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $58.26 per ton for the three months ended September 30, 2010, as well as to a 2% increase in tons sold. The increase in cost of coal sales per ton is primarily due to an increase in labor costs. Labor costs per ton increased primarily as a result of a change in our policy during 2009 related to when employees are credited with vacation time. Labor costs were further impacted by enhanced safety and compliance standards. Partially offsetting this increase in cost per ton were decreases in cost associated with reclamation activities and a decrease in fuel, lubricants and chemicals as diesel fuel costs have declined as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009.
 
Northern Appalachian. Our Northern Appalachian segment cost of coal sales increased due to a 21% increase in tons sold, as well as an increase in cost of coal sales per ton from $49.21 per ton for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $53.10 per ton for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in cost per ton was primarily due to increases in royalties, taxes and fees, labor, repairs and maintenance and transportation costs. Royalties, taxes and fees increased on a per ton basis as a result of increased realization per ton sold and increased royalty rates on certain leased reserves. Labor costs increased primarily as a result of a change in our policy during 2009 related to when employees are credited with vacation time. Labor costs were further impacted by enhanced safety and compliance standards. Repairs and maintenance costs increased on a per ton basis due to an effort to direct more resources towards repairing rather than replacing major components of machinery. Transportation costs increased on a per ton basis, primarily due to increased metallurgical coal sales which require additional trucking costs for processing and transfer to the loading facility. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in group medical insurance costs as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009.
 
Illinois Basin. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, cost of coal sales from our Illinois Basin segment decreased due to a decrease in cost per ton from $27.40 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $25.35 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, partially offset by an 8% increase in tons sold. Cost of coal sales per ton decreased due to decreases in labor and benefit costs. Labor costs decreased primarily due to improved recovery of coal due to favorable mining conditions.  Benefit costs decreased as a result of a decrease in insurance costs as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009.
 
27

 
 

 


Ancillary. Cost of coal sales from our Ancillary segment increased for the three months ended September 30, 2010 due to a $14.60 increase in cost per ton, partially offset by a 29% decrease in tons sold related to the expiration of certain brokered coal contracts.
 
Cost of other revenues—Cost of other revenues decreased primarily due to costs related to the sale of a highwall mining system during the three months ended September 30, 2009 with no comparable sale during the three months ended September 30, 2010.
 
Depreciation, depletion and amortization—Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to reduced capital spending in recent periods and to increased amortization income related to shipments on below-market contracts as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses—Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased primarily due to the favorable resolution of certain legal matters and the recovery of a potential bad debt during the three months ended September 30, 2009.
 
(Gain) loss on sale of assets—(Gain) loss on sale of assets was not significant during the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.
 
Adjusted EBITDA by reportable segment
 
Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before deducting interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, loss on extinguishment of debt and noncontrolling interest. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because it is an important supplemental measure of our performance used by our chief operating decision maker in such areas as capital investment and allocation of resources. Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 is reconciled to its most comparable GAAP measure on page 30 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Note 14 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Central Appalachian. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2010 decreased compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009, primarily due to a $27.0 million payment received for early termination of two related coal supply agreements and lost margin on pre-termination shipments during the comparable period of 2009. Partially offsetting this decrease was a $5.55 per ton increase in profit margins, as well as an increase of approximately 45,000 tons sold.
 
Northern Appalachian. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was due to increased profit margins of $13.21 per ton. Adjusted EBITDA also increased due to an increase of approximately 190,000 tons sold.
 
Illinois Basin. Adjusted EBITDA increased during the three months ended September 30, 2010 resulting from an increase in profit margins of $2.77 per ton, as well as an increase of approximately 43,000 tons sold.
 
 28
 

 
 

 


 
 
Ancillary. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a decrease in profit margins of $19.38 per ton and a decrease of approximately 59,000 tons sold related to the expiration of brokered coal contracts, as well as to decreased shipments on various remaining contracts.

Coal sales revenues—Coal sales revenues are derived from sales of produced coal and brokered coal contracts. Coal sales revenues increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily due to an increase in sales realization of $5.59 per ton resulting from favorable pricing of metallurgical coal. Offsetting the increase in sales realization was a 2% decrease in tons sold.
 
31
 

 
 

 

 
 
Central Appalachian. Coal sales revenues from our Central Appalachian segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased over the same period in 2009 due to an increase in sales realization of $4.98 per ton, which was driven by higher average contract prices for metallurgical coal. Partially offsetting this increase in sales realization was a 5% decrease in tons sold, largely driven by the expiration of certain coal supply agreements.
 
Northern Appalachian. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, our Northern Appalachian coal sales revenues increased compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as a result of increased sales realization of $11.44 per ton, as well as a 9% increase in tons sold. The increase in sales realization and tons sold is a result of increased participation in the spot market due to more favorable pricing of metallurgical coal.
 
Illinois Basin. The increase in coal sales revenues from our Illinois Basin segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily due to an increase in sales realization of $3.33 per ton, as well as an 8% increase in tons sold, primarily on long-term thermal coal supply contracts.
 
Ancillary. Our Ancillary segment’s coal sales revenues are comprised of coal sold under brokered coal contracts. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, our Ancillary coal sales revenues decreased 29% due to a 30% decrease in tons sold related to the expiration of certain coal supply agreements, as well as to decreased shipments on various remaining contracts. This decrease was partially offset by increased realization of $0.99 per ton sold.
 
Freight and handling revenues—Freight and handling revenues represent reimbursement of freight and handling costs for certain shipments for which we initially pay the costs and are then reimbursed by the customer. Freight and handling revenues and costs increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily due to an increase in sales volumes on shipments with related freight and handling. Additionally, our subsidiary, ADDCAR, sold a highwall mining machine during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, with the related shipping cost reimbursement included in freight and handling revenues and costs. There were no comparable shipping costs incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
 
Other revenues—The decrease in other revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was due to $34.9 million in payments for early termination of coal supply agreements and lost margin on pre-termination shipments and a $7.7 million gain on the termination of a below-market contract during 2009, as well as to decreased contract mining revenues in 2010. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in revenues from the sale of highwall mining systems.

Cost of coal sales—For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, cost of coal sales increased compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily as a result of a 4% increase in cost of coal sales per ton, partially offset by a 2% decrease in tons sold.
 
Central Appalachian. Cost of coal sales from our Central Appalachian segment decreased primarily due to a 5% decrease in tons sold. Offsetting the decrease in tons sold was an increase in cost of coal sales per ton from $56.65 per ton for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $57.49 per ton for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in cost of coal sales per ton is primarily due to increases in labor costs and royalties, taxes and fees. Labor costs per ton increased primarily as a result of a change in our policy during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 related to when employees are credited with vacation time. Labor costs were further impacted by enhanced safety and compliance standards. Royalties, taxes and fees increased on a per ton basis as a result of increased realization per ton sold and increased royalty rates on certain leased reserves. Cost of coal sales per ton also increased due to higher roof control and other miscellaneous direct costs. Partially offsetting these increases in cost per ton was a decrease in fuel, lubricants and chemicals as diesel fuel costs have declined as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
 
Northern Appalachian. Our Northern Appalachian segment cost of coal sales increased due to a 9% increase in tons sold and an increase in cost of coal sales per ton from $47.85 per ton for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $51.67 per ton for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in cost per ton was primarily due to increases in labor, repairs and maintenance and transportation costs, as well as higher royalties, taxes and fees. Labor costs increased primarily as a result of a change in our policy during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 related to when employees are credited with vacation time. Labor costs were further impacted by enhanced safety and compliance standards. Repairs and maintenance costs increased on a per ton basis due to an effort to direct more resources towards repairing rather than replacing equipment. Transportation costs increased on a per ton basis, primarily due to increased trucking costs for processing and transferring of metallurgical coal. Royalties, taxes and fees increased on a per ton basis as a result of increased realization per ton sold and increased royalty rates on certain leased reserves. Further impacting the increase in cost per ton were increases in contract labor costs. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in fuel, lubricants and chemicals as diesel fuel costs have declined as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
 
Illinois Basin. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, cost of coal sales from our Illinois Basin segment increased due to an 8% increase in tons sold and an increase in cost per ton from $27.02 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $28.08 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Cost of coal sales per ton increased due to increases in roof control and ventilation costs, operating supplies and contract labor. Roof control and ventilation costs and operating supplies per ton increased primarily as a result of purchasing more costly materials required for producing coal in aging areas of the mine. Contract labor increased as a result of enhanced safety and compliance standards. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in labor costs resulting from improved recovery of coal due to favorable mining conditions.
 
Ancillary. Cost of coal sales from our Ancillary segment decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 due to a 30% decrease in tons sold related to the expiration of certain brokered coal contracts, partially offset by a $12.46 increase in cost per ton.
 
33

 
 

 


Cost of other revenues—For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, cost of other revenues increased primarily due to a $10.0 million payment made for the early termination of a coal supply agreement and an increase in costs related to sales of highwall mining systems. Partially offsetting these increases in cost of other revenues was a decrease in labor and benefit costs as a result of the termination of contract mining contracts.
 
Depreciation, depletion and amortization—Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense remained relatively consistent compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses—Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased primarily due to the favorable resolution of certain legal matters and the recovery of a potential bad debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in legal and professional fees.
 
Gain on sale of assets—Gain on sale of assets increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 due to a $3.5 million gain related to the sale of a highwall mining system previously used in operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 versus a $2.9 million gain on the sale of a loadout facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Central Appalachian. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily due to $27.5 million received for early termination of coal supply agreements and lost margin on pre-termination shipments and a $7.7 million gain on the termination of a below-market contract in 2009, as well as a 412,000 ton decrease in tons sold. Partially offsetting these decreases was a $4.14 per ton increase in profit margins.
 
Northern Appalachian. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was due to increased profit margins of $7.62 per ton. Adjusted EBITDA also increased due to an increase of approximately 253,000 tons sold. Offsetting these increases in Adjusted EBITDA was a $10.0 million payment made in 2010 for the early termination of a coal supply agreement.
 
Illinois Basin. Adjusted EBITDA increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 resulting from an increase in profit margins of $2.27 per ton, as well as an increase of approximately 144,000 tons sold.
 
34
 

 
 

 


 
 
Ancillary. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a decrease in profit margins of $11.47 per ton and a decrease of approximately 188,000 tons sold related to the expiration of brokered coal contracts, as well as to decreased shipments on various remaining contracts. Further contributing to the decrease from our Ancillary segment was a decrease of $7.4 million received in the settlement of contract terminations during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and decreased contract mining income. Offsetting these decreases was an increase in Adjusted EBITDA related to sales of highwall mining machines.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
   Our business is capital intensive and requires substantial capital expenditures for, among other things, purchasing and upgrading equipment used in developing and mining our reserves, as well as remaining in compliance with environmental laws and regulations. Our principal liquidity requirements are to finance our coal production, fund capital expenditures and service our debt and reclamation obligations. We may also engage in acquisitions from time to time. Our primary sources of liquidity to meet these needs are cash on hand, cash flows from operations, borrowings under our asset-based loan facility and equipment financing arrangements.
 
   We believe the principal indicators of our liquidity are our cash position and remaining availability under our asset-based loan facility. As of September 30, 2010, our available liquidity was $235.7 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $213.2 million and $22.5 million available for borrowing under our $125.0 million asset-based loan facility. Total debt represented 31% of our total capitalization at September 30, 2010. Our total capitalization represents our current and long-term debt combined with our total stockholders’ equity.
 
36
 

 
 

 

 

    Under a universal shelf registration statement, which became effective January 15, 2010, we have the remaining capacity to offer and sell, from time to time, up to $175.7 million aggregate value of securities, including common stock and debt securities. This registration statement allows us to access the capital markets based on our liquidity and capital needs subject to favorable market and other conditions.
 
   Pursuant to this shelf registration statement, in March 2010, we completed public offerings of 24,444,365 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a public offering price of $4.47 per share, $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Convertible Notes”) and $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.125% Senior Secured Second-Priority Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Senior Notes”).
 
   We used the net proceeds from the Common Stock and 2017 Convertible Notes offerings to finance the repurchase of $138.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 2012 Convertible Notes, $114.5 million of which closed on April 6, 2010, $14.0 million of which closed on September 30, 2010 and $10.3 million of which closed on October 13, 2010. We used net proceeds from the 2018 Senior Notes offering to finance the repurchase of $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 10.25% Senior Notes due 2014 (the “2014 Senior Notes”), $169.1 million of which closed on March 22, 2010, $50,000 of which closed on April 5, 2010 and $5.9 million of which closed on July 15, 2010. The remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.
 
   We also secured a new four-year $125.0 million asset-based loan facility (the “ABL Loan Facility”) to replace our prior revolving credit facility which was set to expire in June 2011. The ABL Loan Facility, which provides up to $25.0 million in additional borrowing capacity and contains minimal financial covenants, such as a fixed-charge ratio and a capital expenditure limitation if our liquidity falls below certain thresholds, matures in February 2014. Any available borrowing capacity is available for loans or the issuance of letters of credit. The ABL Loan Facility has been used primarily for issuing letters of credit that collateralize our reclamation bonds. The ABL Loan Facility has an early acceleration provision if more than $20.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2012 Convertible Notes were to have remained outstanding as of January 31, 2012. With the repurchases of the 2012 Convertible Notes that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and in October 2010, this provision has been satisfied.  Subject to certain conditions, at any time prior to maturity, we will be able to elect to increase the size of the ABL Loan Facility, up to a maximum of $200.0 million. Availability under the ABL Loan Facility is determined using a borrowing base calculation.
 
   We currently expect our total capital expenditures will be between $110.0 million to $115.0 million in 2010, substantially all of which will be for equipment and infrastructure at our existing operations, as well as for the development of our Tygart #1 complex. Cash paid for capital expenditures was approximately $65.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. We have funded and expect to continue to fund these capital expenditures from cash on hand, internal operations and equipment financing arrangements, such as our $50.0 million equipment revolving credit facility with Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation. We believe that these sources of capital will be sufficient to fund our anticipated capital expenditures through the third quarter of 2011, including initial development of our Tygart #1 complex. To the extent necessary, management believes it has flexibility on the timing of these cash requirements by managing the pace of capital spending. In addition, management may from time to time raise additional capital through the disposition of non-core assets, engaging in sale-leaseback transactions or utilizing our shelf registration statement. The need and timing of seeking additional capital in the future will be subject to market conditions.
 
Approximately $28.3 million of cash paid for capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was attributable to our Central Appalachian operations. This amount represents investments of approximately $9.0 million in our Beckley mining complex, $7.0 million at Knott County and $6.2 million at our Raven division. We paid approximately $20.3 million at our Northern Appalachian operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, approximately $8.3 million of which was for investments at our Vindex complex. Expenditures of approximately $16.1 million for our Illinois Basin operations were for development of a new mine portal and ongoing operations improvements. Approximately $1.2 million of cash paid for capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was within our Ancillary segment.

More stringent regulatory requirements imposed upon the mining industry demand substantial capital expenditures to meet safety standards. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we spent $5.2 million to meet these standards and anticipate spending an additional $2.4 million for the remainder of 2010. As a result of a recent explosion at a competitor’s mine, additional safety requirements may increase our capital and operating costs. See Item 1A — “Risk Factors” in our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, or in subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
In addition, in March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“PPACA”) and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (“HCERA” or, collectively with PPACA, the “Health Care Reform Act”) were enacted into law. As a result, we recorded a one-time, non-cash income tax charge of $0.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to reflect the impact of this change. The Health Care Reform Act also includes a provision to remove lifetime caps on medical plans. Our retiree medical plan has such a cap and, as a result of the Health Care Reform Act, we remeasured our postretirement benefit obligation in the second quarter of 2010 resulting in an additional liability of $6.3 million. The prior service cost associated with the plan change will be amortized over the average remaining working life of the related employees. We incurred additional expense of $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 related to the remeasurement. The Health Care Reform Act also amended previous legislation related to coal workers’ pneumoconiosis (black lung), providing an automatic extension of awarded lifetime benefits to surviving spouses and providing changes to the legal criteria used to assess and award claims. These new provisions of the Health Care Reform Act may increase the number of future claims that are awarded benefits. We do not have sufficient claims experience since the Health Care Reform Act was passed to estimate the impact on our September 30, 2010 black lung liability of the potential increase in the number of future claims that are awarded benefits. An increase in benefits awarded could have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
Cash Flows
 
Net cash provided by operating activities was $132.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $41.4 million from the same period in 2009. This increase is attributable to a $46.8 million increase due to the change in net operating assets and liabilities, offset by a decrease in net income of $5.4 million, after adjustment for non-cash charges.
 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net cash used in investing activities was $53.2 million compared to $47.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, $65.9 million of cash was paid for capital expenditures at existing mining and ancillary operations compared to $48.7 million in the same period of 2009. Additionally, cash flows from investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 included $8.9 million due to the withdrawal of restricted cash previously pledged as collateral.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities was $41.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. We received proceeds from our 2017 Convertible Notes, 2018 Senior Notes and Common Stock offerings of $416.0 million. We used $344.7 million of these proceeds to repurchase a portion of our 2014 Senior Notes and 2012 Convertible Notes. Additionally, we made payments of $17.6 million on our short- and long-term debt obligations. We also incurred additional finance costs of $14.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 related to the debt offerings and our asset-based loan facility. Net cash used in financing activities of $10.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was due to repayments on our short- and long-term debt of $18.2 million and deferred finance costs of $1.2 million paid to amend our credit facility. Offsetting these payments were borrowings on our long-term debt of $9.1 million used to finance equipment.

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

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Assumptions
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. These estimates and assumptions are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements. Accounting measurements at interim dates inherently involve greater reliance on estimates than at year-end. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results that can be expected for the full year. Please refer to the section entitled “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” of Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 for a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.
 
 
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Market price risk. We are exposed to market price risk in the normal course of mining and selling coal. We manage this risk through the use of long-term coal supply agreements, rather than through the use of derivative instruments. As of September 30, 2010, approximately 99% of our 2010 projected sales are committed and priced. Any committed and unpriced projected sales are subject to future market price volatility. 
 
 
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures has been carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
 
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the third quarter of fiscal 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our system of internal control over financial reporting.

Other Information
 
Mine Safety and Health Administration Data
 
We believe that every employee should enjoy a safe workplace and we want each employee to return home healthy and safely every day. Our safety culture relies on involving all employees in the safety process through programs, such as the Employee Involvement Group, which obtain individual commitments to making our workplaces safe and to doing the job right the first time. We believe that involving our employees in problem-solving solutions and the design of our improvement processes creates a stronger team approach. Our safety processes include training programs for accident prevention, hazard recognition and safe work procedures to improve the individual skills of each employee. We are now implementing our Continuous Safety Improvement process, which creates individual Safety Improvement Plans for each business unit that are designed to improve overall safety performance, as well as regulatory compliance performance.
 
These safety programs empower all of our employees to champion the safety process. Every person is challenged to identify hazards and initiate corrective actions. We encourage our employees to report any safety concerns to management immediately, but we also provide the ability for employees to report concerns anonymously, in either event allowing hazards to be dealt with in a timely manner. All levels of the organization are expected to be proactive and commit to continuous improvement, implementing new safety processes, when appropriate, that promote a safe and healthy work environment. As a result of these efforts, many of our mining operations have been recognized with state and national awards over the years for outstanding safety performance. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, 12 individual safety awards were presented to our operations.
 
Our subsidiaries operate multiple mining complexes in five states and are regulated by both the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) and state regulatory agencies. As described in more detail in the “Environmental, Safety and Other Regulatory Matters” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, as amended (the “Mine Act”) and state regulatory agencies, among other regulations, imposes stringent safety and health standards on all aspects of mining operations. Regulatory inspections are mandated by these agencies with thousands of inspection shifts at our properties each year. Citations and compliance metrics at each of our 13 affiliated mining properties vary, due to the size and type of the operation. We endeavor to conduct our mining and other operations in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations. However, violations occur from time to time. None of the violations identified or the monetary penalties assessed upon us set forth in the tables below have been material.

For reporting purposes of The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, we include the following table that sets forth the following information for the three months ended September 30, 2010: Section 104 Citations: The total number of violations received from MSHA under section 104 of the Mine Act, which includes citations for health or safety standards that could significantly and substantially contribute to a serious injury if left unabated; Section 104(b) Orders: The total number of orders issued by MSHA under section 104(b) of the Mine Act, which represents a failure to abate a citation under section 104(a) within the period of time prescribed by MSHA. This results in an order of immediate withdrawal from the area of the mine affected by the condition until MSHA determines that the violation has been abated; Section 104(d) Citations and Orders: The total number of citations and orders issued by MSHA under section 104(d) of the Mine Act for unwarrantable failure to comply with mandatory health or safety standards; Section 107(a) Orders: The total number of orders issued by MSHA under section 107(a) of the Mine Act for situations in which MSHA determined an imminent danger existed; and Section 110(b)(2) Violations: The total number of flagrant violations issued by MSHA under section 110(b)(2) of the Mine Act. The Company has the right to contest through legal proceedings a citation, order or penalty assessment, which the Company does, from time to time, when it deems appropriate.
