INTERNATIONAL COAL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

September 30, 2007

(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 oil and gas properties 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, 2007 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, 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, 2006 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/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2007.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and General

Fair Value Measurements—In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the disclosures on fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows, but does expect adoption to result in additional information to be included in the footnotes accompanying its consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Option—In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 provides entities with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 159 to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Income Taxes—Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 increases the relevancy and comparability of financial reporting by clarifying the way companies account for uncertainty related to income taxes. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, the Company recognized a $109 increase in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits and $3 in accrued interest, which was accounted for as a reduction to the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings. As of the date of adoption, the total amount of unrecognized income tax benefits was $137. Included in the balance at January 1, 2007, are $109 of unrecognized income tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the annual effective income tax rate. There have been no material changes in the unrecognized tax benefits during the period since the date of the FIN 48 adoption. The change in the unrecognized tax benefit within the next 12 months is not expected to be material to the financial statements.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. and various states. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2003. The Company is not currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service, state or local tax authorities related to income taxes.

The Company recognizes interest expense and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense and other expense, respectively, in its consolidated statement of operations.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—The Company considers all highly-liquid debt instruments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist of a money market mutual fund. Because of the short maturity of these investments, the carrying amounts approximate the fair value.

Reclassifications—Ash disposal income and royalty income, as well as certain other revenues earned by the Company in activities that are incidental to operations, but were not expected to be on-going revenue streams, were previously included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations and related disclosures in previously issued financial statements. Such revenue streams have increased and will most likely remain in the future. As a result, the Company believes inclusion of such revenues in other operating revenue provides a more accurate accounting of total revenue earned from operations. Revenues of $1,969 and $5,107 have been reclassified as other operating revenues in the accompanying financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. Related disclosures have been reclassified to conform to the 2007 presentation.

Cost of other revenues totaling $7,651 and $20,520 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, which were included in cost of coal sales and other revenues in previously issued financial statements have been presented in a separate line item in the accompanying financial statements. Related disclosures have been reclassified to conform to the 2007 presentation.

The 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.

The Company received proceeds from the offering of $218,250, after deducting the initial purchaser’s discounts and commissions of $6,750. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds to repay the $25,000 bridge loan, plus accrued interest, due to a certain fund affiliated with WL Ross & Co. LLC (“WLR”) and the $65,000 outstanding on its Amended Credit Facility. The remaining $128,250 will be used for general corporate purposes and other expenses related to the Offering estimated to be $1,150.

The Convertible Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 9.00%, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2008. The principal amount of the 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 Convertible Notes are convertible into the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price, subject to adjustment, of $6.10 per share (approximating 163.8136 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes). The conversion rate of the Convertible Notes will be increased if the average of the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for a 20 consecutive trading day period ending on, but not including, August 1, 2008, is less than $6.10. The 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 our 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 our 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 Convertible Notes indenture, the Company may be required to repurchase the 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. As such, the Company would be required to classify the entire amount outstanding of the Convertible Notes as a current liability in the following quarter. The evaluation of the classification of amounts outstanding associated with the Convertible Notes will occur every quarter. 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. The Company’s stock price per share closed below the conversion price of $6.10 per share during the three months ended September 30, 2007. As a result, there were no potentially convertible shares at September 30, 2007.

The Company and the initial purchasers of the Convertible Notes entered into a registration rights agreement that required the Company to file a shelf registration statement to register the Convertible Notes with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the 90th day after the date that the Convertible Notes were issued, or October 29, 2007. The Company has yet to file the shelf registration statement. As a result, the Company is required to pay additional interest at a per annum rate of 0.25% until the shelf registration statement is filed. The Company does not expect this additional interest to materially impact its financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and anticipate filing a shelf registration on or about November 15, 2007.

The FASB has proposed FASB Staff Position No. APB 14-a, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) (“APB 14-a”). If issued as currently contemplated, APB 14-a would require the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion to be separately accounted for in a manner that reflects the issuer’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. To allocate the proceeds from the Convertible Notes in this manner, the Company would first need to determine the carrying amount of the liability component, which would be based on the fair value of a similar liability (excluding the embedded conversion option). The resulting debt discount would be amortized over the period during which the debt is expected to be outstanding as additional non-cash interest expense. The Convertible Notes are within the scope of the proposed FSP and the Company is currently evaluating its potential impact, including the amount of additional interest expense. APB 14-a would be effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 and would be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. There can be no assurance that the proposed FSP will be issued in the form currently contemplated by the FASB, or at all.

Pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 90-19, “Convertible Bonds with Issuer Option to Settle for Cash upon Conversion,” EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF 00-19”), and EITF 01-6, “The Meaning of Indexed to a Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF 01-6”), the Convertible Notes are accounted for as convertible debt in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet and the embedded conversion option in the Convertible Notes has not been accounted for as a separate derivative. For a discussion of the effects of the Convertible Notes on earnings per share, see Note 11.

Credit Facility—In June 2006, the Company entered into a second amended and restated credit agreement (the “Amended Credit Facility”) consisting of a revolving credit facility which matures on June 23, 2011. In July 2007, the Company further amended the Amended Credit Facility to reduce the commitments thereunder to $100,000, of which a maximum of $80,000 may be used for letters of credit. The amendment, among other things, modified the maximum permitted leverage ratio, the minimum interest coverage ratio and the maximum amount of capital expenditures permitted. Further, the Amendment also revised certain interest rate thresholds and unused commitment fee levels under the Amended Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2007, the Company had no borrowings outstanding and letters of credit totaling $66,201 outstanding, leaving $33,799 available for future borrowing capacity. Interest on the borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility is payable, at the Company’s option, at either the base rate plus an applicable margin based on the Company’s leverage ratio of 1.25% to 2.00% as of September 30, 2007 or LIBOR plus an applicable margin based on the Company’s leverage ratio of 2.25% to 3.00% as of September 30, 2007. As of September 30, 2007, the Company was in compliance with its covenants under the Amended Credit Facility.

Equipment Notes—The equipment notes have maturity dates extending to October 2011 and are collateralized by mining equipment. At September 30, 2007 the equipment notes accrued interest at fixed rates that range from 2.31% to 7.25%.

(7) Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was calculated using an estimated annual effective rate based on projected earnings for the year. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2007 decreased to 62% from 81% for the three months ended September 30, 2006, primarily as the result of the effect of income tax deductions for depletion of mineral rights on projected earnings. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 decreased to 42% from 59% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, primarily as the result of the effect of income tax deductions for depletion of mineral rights on projected earnings.

The plan is unfunded, therefore, no contributions were made by the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

(9) Sale of Reserve

On September 28, 2007, the Company sold its Denmark reserve in Southern Illinois for $39,000 in cash. As a result, the Company recognized a gain of $36,782 which is included in the net gain on sale of assets in its statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007. Under the terms of the transaction, the purchaser is also obligated to pay the Company an overriding royalty totaling $4,000 on certain future production that will be recognized as the reserves are mined.

(10) Employee Stock Awards

The Company’s 2005 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) permits the granting of stock options, restricted shares, stock appreciation rights, restricted share units, performance shares or performance units to its employees for up to 8,000,000 shares of common stock. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant and have 10-year contractual terms. The option and restricted stock awards generally vest in equal annual installments of 25% over a four year period. The Company recognizes expense related to the awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Company issues new shares upon the exercise of option awards.

During the first nine months of 2007, the Company granted stock options and restricted stock awards to certain employees under its 2005 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan. Stock options were granted to purchase 286,660 shares of common stock at a weighted –average exercise price of $5.93 per share with an aggregate fair value of $761. Restricted stock awards of 113,240 were granted with an aggregate fair value of $666. Included in the 2007 grants were stock options to purchase 264,580 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share with an aggregate fair value of $709 and restricted stock awards of 98,520 with an aggregate fair value of $591 granted on July 2, 2007. The stock option and restricted stock awards vest in equal annual installments of 25% over a four-year period.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model was used to calculate the estimated fair value of the options granted. The estimated grant date fair value of the options granted in 2007 was calculated using the following assumptions: expected lives of 5 years, weighted-average volatility of 43.2% with volatilities ranging from 43.0% to 48.0% and risk-free interest rates ranging from 4.0% to 5.2%. The Company assumed that no dividends will be paid and estimated a forfeiture rate of 3.25%. The estimated grant date fair value of the options granted in 2006 was calculated using the following assumptions: expected lives of 5 years, an expected weighted-average volatility of 46.8% and risk-free interest rates ranging from 4.3% to 5.2%. The Company assumed that no dividends will be paid and estimated a forfeiture rate of 1.0%. Due to the Company’s limited operating history, the expected lives and volatility are estimated based on other companies in the coal industry. The risk-free interest rates are based on the rates of zero coupon U.S. Treasury bonds with similar maturities on the date of grant. The forfeiture rate was determined based on estimates of future turnover of the Company’s employees eligible under the plan.

Stock-based employee compensation expense of $643 and $2,261, net of tax of $429 and $1,508, related to the issuance of all stock awards outstanding as of September 30, 2007 was included in net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively. Compensation expense of $821 and $2,677, net of tax of $503 and $1,641, related to stock awards outstanding as of September 30, 2006, was included in net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006.

(11) Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income 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 and restricted common stock subject to continuing vesting requirements, 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, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

 

    Three months ended

Options to purchase 2,026,662 shares of common stock and 574,660 shares of restricted common stock outstanding at September 30, 2007 have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 because their effect was anti-dilutive. Options to purchase 1,822,412 shares of common stock and 791,680 shares of restricted common stock outstanding at September 30, 2006 have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 because their effect was anti-dilutive.

On July 31, 2007, the Company completed an offering of $195,000 aggregate principal amount of 9.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2012 pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. On August 28, 2007, an additional $30,000 was sold pursuant to the exercise of an over-allotment option (see Note 6). The principal amount of the 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 Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holder into the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $6.10 per share. The Company’s stock traded below the conversion price of $6.10 per share during the three months ended September 30, 2007. As a result, the effects of the potential conversion of the Convertible Notes were anti-dilutive and had no impact on the Company’s earnings per share.

(12) Sale-leaseback of Coal Lands

On June 29, 2006, the Company sold coal lands to an unrelated third party for $5,500. The Company subsequently leased back all of the coal lands from the buyer. The estimated gain on the sale-leaseback transaction of $1,500 was deferred and is being amortized over the term of the lease as tons are mined.

(13) Commitments and Contingencies

Guarantees and Financial Instruments with Off-balance Sheet Risk—In the normal course of business, the Company is a party to certain guarantees and financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, such as bank letters of credit and performance or surety bonds. No liabilities related to these arrangements are reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Management does not expect any material losses to result from these guarantees or off-balance sheet financial instruments. The Company has outstanding surety bonds with third parties of approximately $106,305 as of September 30, 2007 to secure reclamation and other performance commitments. As of September 30, 2007, the Company has bank letters of credit outstanding of $66,201 under its revolving credit facility.

Legal Matters—On November 18, 2005, ICG, LLC, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, Ashland Division, against Massey Coal Sales Company, Inc. (“Massey Coal Sales”), seeking damages for breach of a coal supply agreement under which Massey Coal Sales supplies coal to ICG, LLC for resale to a customer of ICG, LLC. On July 5, 2007, ICG, LLC and Massey Coal Sales entered into a Mutual Release and Settlement Agreement settling all claims among the parties in both the federal court action and the state court action, with no payments due to be paid by the Company.

On April 5, 2007 a class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of West Virginia against the Company and certain of its officers and directors. The complaint alleges that the Company’s registration statements filed in connection with its initial public offering contained false and misleading statements, and that investors relied upon those securities filings and suffered damages as a result. The court ordered certain plaintiffs to serve as lead plaintiffs and lead counsel, and, as a result, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on August 24, 2007. The Company filed a Motion to Dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint on September 28, 2007, and that motion remains pending.

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, Anker Coal Group, Inc. (“Anker”), and the Company in state court in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania on December 28, 2006, and amended its complaint on April 23, 2007. In its amended complaint, Allegheny alleges that the production stoppages constitute a breach of the contract, breach of the guarantee agreement by Anker and breach of certain representations made upon entering into the contract in early 2005. Allegheny has since voluntarily dropped its allegations regarding misrepresentations. The Company answered the complaint on August 13, 2007, disputing all of the remaining claims. Coal shipments to Allegheny from the Sycamore No. 2 mine were resumed by the Company in September 2007.

On October 24, 2007, the United States of America, on behalf of the United States Environmental Protection Agency, filed a complaint against the Company’s subsidiary Patriot Mining Company, Inc. (“Patriot”), in the United States District Court of the Northern District of West Virginia, and concurrent with that filing, the parties filed a Stipulation and Order as a compromise of the disputed claims. The complaint alleged a violation in connection with reporting a release of anhydrous ammonia at the former Squire’s Creek Mine (the “Facility”) on June 24, 2004, and reporting information relating to the storage of anhydrous ammonia at the Facility before and after the release. Patriot denied the allegations and, pursuant to the Stipulation and Order, agreed to pay $177 as full and final settlement of all claims. At September 30, 2007, the Company had recorded a reserve for the amount of the settlement.

From time-to-time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the Company has recorded adequate reserves for these liabilities and there is no individual case or group of related cases pending that is likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Commitments—As a result of recent accidents in the mining industry, new legislation has been announced that will require additional capital expenditures to meet enhanced safety standards. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we spent $721 and $3,913 to meet these standards and anticipate spending an additional $5,300 for the remainder of 2007 and $1,940 in 2008.

(14) Related Party Transactions and Balances

Under an Advisory Services Agreement dated as of October 1, 2004 between the Company and WL Ross & Co. LLC (“WLR”), WLR has agreed to provide advisory services to the Company (consisting of consulting and advisory services in connection with strategic and financial planning, investment management and administration and other matters relating to the business and operation of the Company of a type customarily provided by sponsors of U.S. private equity firms to companies in which they have substantial investments, including any consulting or advisory services which the Board of Directors reasonably requests). WLR is paid a quarterly fee of $500 and reimbursed for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including expenses of third-party advisors retained by WLR). The agreement is for a period of seven years; however, it may be terminated upon the occurrence of certain events.

        The Company has paid legal fees relating to the representation of WLR and the Company’s Chairman, Mr. Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., by counsel in connection with various litigation matters pending against the Company, WLR and Mr. Ross related to the Sago mine accident. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded expenses totaling approximately $171 and $505, respectively, relating to these matters.

On July 16, 2007, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a $25,000 bridge loan with a certain fund affiliated with WLR, which was repaid in full on July 31, 2007. The Company and its subsidiaries were jointly and severally liable for the loan.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income or loss before deducting net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization and minority interest. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because it is an important supplemental measure of the Company’s performance used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker.

Reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 is as follows:

(16) Supplementary Guarantor Information

The Company issued $175,000 of Senior Notes due 2014 (the “Notes”) in June 2006 and an aggregate principal amount of $225,000 of Convertible Senior Notes due 2012 (the “Convertible Senior Notes”) in July and August 2007 (see Note 6). In connection with the Company’s exchange of the Notes and anticipated exchange of the Convertible Notes for an equal principal amount of notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, the following consolidating financial information presents, in separate columns, financial information for (i) the Company (on a parent only basis) with its investment in its subsidiaries recorded under the equity method, (ii) the subsidiaries of the Company that guarantee the Notes and Convertible Notes on a combined basis, (iii) the subsidiaries and joint ventures of the Company that do not guarantee the Notes and Convertible Notes on a combined basis, (iv) the eliminations and reclassifications necessary to arrive at the information for the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis and (v) the Company on a consolidated basis as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006. The Notes and Convertible Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the Company and each of its current and future domestic restricted subsidiaries which are 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company within the meaning of Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”). The composition of Subsidiary Guarantors may change from time-to-time due to acquisitions or disposals. The Notes and Convertible Notes are not guaranteed by the Company’s joint venture, The Sycamore Group LLC. The Notes and Convertible Notes place certain restrictions on the payment of dividends, other payments or distributions by the Company and between the Subsidiary Guarantors. The Company has not presented separate financial information for each of the Subsidiary Guarantors because the Company’s management believes that such financial information would not provide investors with any additional information that would be material in evaluating the sufficiency of the guarantees.

In its previously issued Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2006, the Company incorrectly presented its consolidating financial statement schedules contained in the supplementary guarantor information as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 using the cost method of accounting for its investments in subsidiaries rather than the equity method. The presentation of the supplementary guarantor information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 included herein has been restated to reflect the accounting for all investments in subsidiaries using the equity method of accounting. Net loss of the subsidiaries is therefore reflected in the parent’s investment accounts. The net income of the parent as originally reported was $5,801 and $7,888 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. The restated net loss of the parent after the correction was $2,433 and $9,223 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. The statement of cash flows of the parent as originally reported was restated to reflect investments in its subsidiaries of $170,618 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Eliminations shown in the consolidating financial statement schedules represent adjustments for the parent’s investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions. A portion of the eliminations shown in previously issued financial statements has been reclassified into the guarantor subsidiaries column for accurate presentation under the equity method of accounting. The changes in presentation did not affect the Company’s consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that are not statements of historical fact and may involve a number of risks and uncertainties. We have used the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project” and similar terms and phrases, including references to assumptions, in this report to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made based on expectations and beliefs concerning future events affecting us and are subject to uncertainties and factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those matters expressed in or implied by these forward-looking statements. The following factors are among those that may cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements:

 

   

market demand for coal, electricity and steel;

 

   

availability of qualified workers;

 

   

future economic or capital market conditions;

 

   

weather conditions or catastrophic weather-related damage;

our assumptions concerning economically recoverable coal reserve estimates;

 

   

availability and costs of credit, surety bonds and letters of credit;

 

   

title defects or loss of leasehold interests in our properties which could result in unanticipated costs or inability to mine these properties;

 

   

future legislation and changes in regulations or governmental policies or changes in interpretations thereof, including with respect to safety enhancements;

 

   

the impairment of the value of our goodwill;

 

   

the on-going effects of the Sago mine accident;

 

   

our liquidity, results of operations and financial condition;

 

   

the adequacy and sufficiency of our internal controls; and

 

   

legal and administrative proceedings, settlements, investigations and claims.

You should keep in mind that any forward-looking statement made by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speaks only as of the date on which we make it. New risks and uncertainties arise from time-to-time, and it is impossible for us to predict these events or how they may affect us. We have no duty to, and do not intend to, update or revise the forward-looking statements in this report after the date of this report, except as may be required by law. In light of these risks and uncertainties, you should keep in mind that any forward-looking statement made in this report might not occur. When considering these forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the cautionary statements in this document and in our other SEC filings, including the more detailed discussion of these factors, as well as other factors that could affect our results, contained in Item 3, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” as well as in the “Risks Relating to Our Business” section of Item 1A of our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10–K/A and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q/A for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007.

Coal sales revenues – Coal sales revenues are derived from sales of produced coal and brokered coal contracts. Coal sales revenues decreased $21.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, or 10%, compared to the same period in 2006. This decrease was due to a 10% decrease in tons sold during the third quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 primarily due to the expiration of certain brokered coal contracts.

Freight and handling revenues – Freight and handling revenues represent dollar-for-dollar reimbursement for shipments from certain of our operations for which we initially pay the freight and handling costs and are then reimbursed by the customer. Freight and handling revenues and costs increased $0.1 million to $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 due to increased transportation rates and fuel surcharges.

Other revenues – Other revenues increased $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. The increase was due to increased revenue of $2.5 million from our highwall mining activities and shop services performed by our subsidiary, ICG ADDCAR, as well as an increase in revenues of $2.2 million generated from coalbed methane wells owned jointly by our subsidiary, CoalQuest, and CDX Gas, LLC (“CDX”). The increases were partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in royalty revenues, lower plant processing revenue of $0.6 million and a decrease of $0.3 million representing a negotiated cash payment to us relating to a customer’s tax credit.

Coal sales revenues from our Central Appalachian segment decreased approximately $2.1 million, or 2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $2.82 per ton in the average sales price of our coal primarily sold pursuant to coal supply agreements. The decrease in sales realization was partially offset by an increase in tons sold of approximately 0.1 million, or 4%, over the comparable period of 2006 due to various mines, principally at our ICG Eastern location, significantly increasing or reaching full production subsequent to September 30, 2006.

For the three months ended September 30, 2007, our Northern Appalachian coal sales revenues decreased approximately $2.0 million, or 6%, as compared to the comparable period of 2006 due principally to a decrease of 0.2 million tons sold, or 16%, resulting from production cutbacks at some of our higher cost operations. The 16% decrease in tons sold was partially offset by an increase in sales realization of $3.84 per ton.

Coal sales revenues from our Illinois Basin segment increased approximately $2.2 million, or 16%, as compared to 2006 due to an increase in coal sales revenue per ton of $5.01 per ton resulting from more favorable terms on its coal supply agreements.

Our Ancillary segment’s coal sales revenues are comprised of coal sold under brokered coal contracts. We experienced a decrease of $19.9 million, or 62%, due to a decrease of 0.5 million tons primarily resulting from the expiration of brokered coal contracts.

Cost of coal sales – For the three months ended September 30, 2007, our total cost of coal sales decreased $7.6 million, or 4%, to $188.4 million compared to $195.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease in cost of coal sales was primarily the result of a 10% decrease in sales tons as described above which was partially offset by 7% increase in cost per ton.

Mining operations that significantly increased or reached full production subsequent to the third quarter of 2006 at our East Mac and Nellie, Mt. Sterling, Guston Run and Sentinel mines increased cost of coal sales by $24.2 million. Increased costs from new mining operations were partially offset by a decrease in costs of $24.3 million resulting from the closure or cutback of production at our higher cost Flint Ridge Highwall, Blackberry Creek, New Hill and Sago mines. Cost of coal sales at existing mines, as well as from brokered coal contracts, decreased $7.5 million, primarily as a result of a 0.5 million ton decrease in coal sales.

Cost of coal sales per ton increased to $41.69 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $38.90 in the same period in 2006, an increase of $2.79. The average cost of coal sold was affected by increases in costs of both produced and purchased coal sold. Produced coal costs increased $2.57 per ton and consisted of increases of: $1.53 per ton in labor and benefit costs; $0.52 per ton in overhead expenses; $0.49 per ton in mining supplies; $0.38 per ton in royalties, wheelage and land and mineral taxes; $0.19 per ton in fuel, oil and lubricants; $0.14 per ton in blasting supplies; and $0.12 increase in blending material. The increases were partially offset by decreases of: $0.55 per ton in equipment and vehicle lease costs; $0.19 per ton in repair and maintenance costs; and $0.07 per ton in internal coal hauling costs. Purchased coal increased $3.91 per ton, which increased the average cost of coal sold by $0.22.

Cost of other revenues – For the three months ended September 30, 2007, cost of other revenues remained relatively constant for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006. The favorable margins provided by other revenues were primarily related to coalbed methane wells owned jointly by our subsidiary, CoalQuest, and CDX.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization – Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense increased $6.5 million, or 40%, to $23.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $16.5 million in the same period in 2006. The principal component of the increase was an increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 primarily related to increased property and equipment purchased to improve efficiency at existing operations and to equip new mine developments. Depreciation of coalbed methane well development costs and decreased amortization income on below-market coal agreements resulted in increases of $2.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2007.

Selling, general and administrative expenses – Selling, general and administrative expenses for three months ended September 30, 2007 were $9.0 million compared to $7.8 million for the same period in 2006. The increase was primarily due to increases in legal and professional fees of $0.8 million and $0.7 million in compensation expense. The increase was partially offset by a decrease of $0.2 million in computer expenses.

Net gain on sale of assets – Net gain on sale of assets increased $35.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from the comparable period in 2006, primarily due to a gain of approximately $36.8 million related to the sale of our Denmark property in the third quarter of 2007.

Adjusted EBITDA by Segment

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income or loss before deducting net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization and minority interest. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because it is an important supplemental measure of our performance used by our chief operating decision maker. It is considered “adjusted” as we adjust EBITDA for minority interest. Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to its most comparable GAAP measure on pages 27 and 32 of this report and in Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.

The following table depicts segment Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006:

Adjusted EBITDA from our Central Appalachian segment decreased $16.8 million, or 69%, for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease was primarily due to increase in tons sold and decrease in realization per ton as discussed above. Also impacting the decrease were inflated operating costs resulting from regulatory issues and short-term mine constraints. The reduced realizations and increased costs resulted in a decrease in profit margins of $5.87 per ton. Additionally, activities incidental to our coal producing activities decreased by $0.6 million in 2007 further contributing to the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA.

The increase in Adjusted EBITDA from our Northern Appalachian segment of $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 2007 was primarily due to an increase in coal sales revenue of $3.84 per ton resulting in increased profit margins of $1.89 per ton. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA provided by coal sales was partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million representing a negotiated cash payment to us relating to a customer’s tax credit.

Adjusted EBITDA from our Illinois Basin segment increased $1.6 million, or 75%, during the three months ended September 30, 2007 due to profit margins of $3.08 per ton higher than during the comparable quarter of 2006. The increase in profit margins was partially offset by a 3% decrease in tons sold.

The increase in Adjusted EBITDA from our Ancillary segment of $36.5 million was primarily due to the sale of the Denmark property in September 2007, which resulted in a gain of $36.8 million. The gain was partially offset by a decrease in Adjusted EBITDA resulting from the expiration of brokered coal contracts.

Coal sales revenue per ton

   $ 42.46    $ 43.04    $ (0.58 )   (1 )%

Coal sales revenues – Coal sales revenues are derived from sales of produced coal and brokered coal contracts. Coal sales revenues decreased $36.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, or 6%, compared to the same period in 2006. This decrease was due to a 4% decrease in tons sold in 2007 compared to 2006 that resulted from a decrease of approximately 3.2 million tons sold related to the idling, closure or cutback of production at mines subsequent to the third quarter of 2006 and the expiration of certain brokered coal contracts, as well as geologic issues at several other mines. The decrease in coal sales revenue from decreased sales tons was further impacted by a $0.58 per ton reduction in sales realization primarily related to coal supply agreements. These decreases were partially offset by a 2.5 million ton increase in tons sold from new mines that commenced full production subsequent to the third quarter of 2006.

Freight and handling revenues – Freight and handling revenues represent dollar-for-dollar reimbursement for shipments from certain of our operations for which we initially pay the freight and handling costs and are then reimbursed by the customer. Freight and handling revenues and costs increased $0.5 million to $14.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 due to increased transportation rates and fuel surcharges.

Other revenues – Other revenues increased $15.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. The increase was due to $5.3 million of revenue generated from coalbed methane wells owned jointly by our subsidiary, CoalQuest, and CDX, as well as increased revenue of $3.7 million from our highwall mining activities and shop services and $7.2 million from the sale of a narrow bench highwall mining system by ICG ADDCAR. Additionally, we experienced an increase of $0.5 million in ash disposal revenue. Partially offsetting these increases were a decrease in plant processing revenue of $0.6 million and a decrease of $0.7 million representing a negotiated cash payment to us relating to a customer’s tax credit.

Coal sales revenues from our Central Appalachian segment decreased approximately $3.2 million, or 1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $3.19 per ton in the average sales price of our coal primarily sold pursuant to coal supply agreements. The decrease in sales realization was partially offset by an increase in tons sold of approximately 0.5 million, or 6%, over the comparable period of 2006 due to various mines, principally at our ICG Eastern and Raven locations, significantly increasing or reaching full production subsequent to September 30, 2006.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, our Northern Appalachian coal sales revenues increased approximately $5.2 million, or 6%, as compared to the comparable period of 2006 due to primarily to an increase in sales realization of $3.09 per ton. The favorable sales realizations were partially offset by a decrease of 0.1 million tons sold resulting from production cutbacks at some of our higher cost operations.

Coal sales revenues from our Illinois Basin segment increased approximately $10.2 million, or 28%, as compared to 2006 due to an increase in coal sales revenue per ton of $5.28 per ton resulting from more favorable prices on its coal supply agreements. The increase was further impacted by an increase in tons sold of 0.1 million.

Our Ancillary segment’s coal sales revenues are comprised of coal sold under brokered coal contracts. We experienced a decrease of $48.5 million, or 43%, due to a decrease of 1.1 million tons primarily due to the expiration of brokered coal contracts.

Cost of coal sales – For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, our total cost of coal sales decreased $7.6 million, or 1%, to $557.8 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease in cost of coal sales was primarily the result of a 4% decrease in sales tons as described above which was partially offset by 3% increase in cost per ton.

Mining operations that significantly increased or reached full production subsequent to September 30, 2006 at our East Mac and Nellie, Flint Ridge Deep, Raven, Mt. Sterling, Guston Run, Crown Surface, Imperial, Sentinel and Jackson Mountain mines increased cost of coal sales by $101.8 million. Increased costs from new mining operations were partially offset by a decrease in costs of $90.0 million resulting from the closure or cutback of production at our higher cost Flint Ridge Surface, Rowdy Gap, Flint Ridge Highwall, Blackberry Creek, New Hill, Sago, Crown East II, Sycamore No. 1, Sycamore No. 2 and Island mines. Cost of coal sales at existing mines, as well as from brokered coal contracts, decreased $19.4 million, primarily as a result of a 0.9 million ton decrease in coal sales.

Cost of coal sales per ton increased to $40.00 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $38.72 in the same period in 2006, an increase of $1.28. The increase was mainly due to a $.96 per ton increase in the average cost of produced coal sold. The increase in cost per ton of produced coal was caused by increases of: $0.87 per ton in labor and benefit costs; $0.38 per ton in overhead expenses; $0.31 per ton in blending material; $0.23 per ton in mining supplies; and $0.10 per ton in internal coal hauling costs. The increases were partially offset by decreases of: $0.51 per ton in equipment and vehicle lease costs; $0.22 per ton in repair and maintenance costs; $0.10 per ton in fuel, oil and lubricants; and $0.09 per ton in blasting supplies. Purchased coal increased $2.22 per ton, resulting in an increase of $0.32 per ton in the average cost of coal sold.

Cost of other revenues – For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, cost of other revenues increased $6.6 million, or 32%, to $27.1 million compared to $20.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Of the increase, approximately $4.7 million was due to costs related to ICG ADDCAR resulting from the sale of a narrow bench highwall mining system during the period and exploration and development of coalbed methane resulted in a $0.9 million increase, as well as increases in labor, repairs and maintenance, chemicals, lease, property tax and insurance expenses.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization – Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense increased $15.8 million, or 31%, to $66.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $50.2 million in the same period in 2006. The principal component of the increase was an increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $15.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 related to increased property and equipment purchased to improve efficiency at existing operations and to equip new mine developments. Additional increases in depreciation and amortization expense were due to coalbed methane well development costs of $5.3 million. The increases were partially offset by an increase in amortization income on below-market coal supply agreements of $5.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Selling, general and administrative expenses – Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $25.9 million compared to $25.8 million for the same period in 2006. The decrease of $0.1 million was primarily attributable to gifts aggregating $2.0 million made in 2006 to the families of the thirteen miners involved in the Sago mine accident, partially offset by an increase of $1.2 million in professional and legal fees and a $0.5 million increase in bad debt expense.

Net gain on sale of assets – Net gain on sale of assets increased $36.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 from the comparable period in 2006, primarily due to a gain of approximately $36.8 million related to the sale of our Denmark property in the third quarter of 2007.

   $ 57,853     $ 41,124     $ 16,729     41 %
                          

Adjusted EBITDA from our Central Appalachian segment decreased $37.4 million, or 48%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The decrease was primarily due to increase in tons sold and decrease realization per ton as discussed above. Also impacting the decrease were inflated operating costs resulting from regulatory issues and short-term mine constraints. The reduced realizations and increased costs resulted in a decrease in profit margins of $5.03 per ton. Additionally, activities incidental to our coal producing activities decreased by $1.0 million in 2007 further contributing to the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA.

The increase in Adjusted EBITDA from our Northern Appalachian segment of $9.4 million for the nine months ended September 2007 was primarily due to an increase in coal sales revenue as of $3.09 per ton and decreased costs of $1.01 per ton resulting in increased profit margins of $4.09 per ton. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA provided by coal sales was partially offset by a decrease of $0.7 million representing a negotiated cash payment to us relating to a customer’s tax credit.

Adjusted EBITDA from our Illinois Basin segment increased $8.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2007 due to a 5% increase in tons sold at profit margins of $5.17 per ton higher than during the comparable quarter of 2006.

The increase in Adjusted EBITDA from our Ancillary segment of $36.0 million was primarily due to the sale of the Denmark property in September 2007, which resulted in a gain of $36.8 million. The gain was partially offset by a decrease in Adjusted EBITDA resulting from the expiration of brokered coal contracts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our business is capital intensive and requires substantial capital expenditures for, among other things, purchasing, upgrading and maintaining equipment used in developing and mining our coal lands, 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 flows from sales of our coal, other income, borrowings under our senior credit facility, the proceeds of our convertible notes offering and capital equipment financing arrangements.

As of September 30, 2007, our total cash was $152.0 million and we had $33.8 million available for borrowing under our $100 million senior credit facility. However, weak performance in the first half of the year led management to believe that we would not be able to meet the financial covenants in our senior credit facility at future required certification dates, thereby restricting access to the availability under our senior credit facility. Accordingly, management proactively sought additional sources of liquidity to provide financial flexibility and to avoid constraining our capital growth program for our Beckley, Sentinel and Tygart Valley projects. On July 16, 2007, we and our subsidiaries entered into a $25.0 million bridge loan facility with a certain fund affiliated with WL Ross & Co. LLC (“WLR”). We and our subsidiaries were jointly and severally liable for the loan, which was repaid in full on July 31, 2007.

On July 31, 2007, we completed a private offering of $195.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2012 pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. We granted the initial purchaser a 30-day over-allotment option pursuant to which we issued an additional $30.0 million of convertible notes on August 28, 2007. The convertible notes are our senior unsecured obligations and are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by our material future and current domestic subsidiaries. The convertible notes and the related guarantees rank equal in right of payment to all of our and the guarantors’ respective existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness. Interest is payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1. We received aggregate proceeds of $218.3 million, after deducting the initial purchaser’s discounts and commissions of $6.7 million. We used a portion of the net proceeds to repay in full the $25.0 million bridge loan due to WLR and the $65.0 million outstanding under our Amended Credit Facility. The remaining $128.3 million will be used to fund capital expenditures, for general corporate purposes and other expenses related to the Offering estimated to be $1.2 million. The principal amount of the Convertible Notes is payable in cash and amounts above the principal amount, if any, will be convertible into shares of our common stock or, at our option, cash. The Convertible Notes are convertible (i) prior to February 12, 2012 during any calendar quarter after September 30, 2007, if the closing sale price per share of our 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 our 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.

Concurrent with the closing of the offering, we amended certain covenants to allow for additional flexibility under our financial covenants which include: a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum interest coverage ratio and maximum capital expenditures and to allow for the Offering. The amendment to our senior credit facility also reduced our total senior credit facility commitments by the same amount of the gross proceeds from the offering to $100.0 million.

On September 28, 2007, we completed the sale of our Denmark reserve in Southern Illinois for $39.0 million in cash and an overriding royalty totaling $4 million on certain future production. The sale resulted in a gain of $36.8 million and provided additional cash to execute our capital expenditure program. Subsequent to the sale, we have over 385 million tons of recoverable coal reserves in the Illinois Basin that is available for future development when market conditions support such an investment.

We currently expect our total capital expenditures will be approximately $190.0 million in 2007, primarily for investments in new equipment and for mine development operations. Cash paid for capital expenditures was approximately $133.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. We have funded these capital expenditures from our internal operations, proceeds from our senior notes offering in 2006, borrowing under our credit facility and our $50.0 million equipment revolving credit facility with Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation. We believe that these sources of capital, as well as the proceeds from the offering and from the sale of our Denmark reserve, will be sufficient to fund our anticipated capital expenditures under our current budget plan through 2008.

Approximately $90.4 million of 2007 capital expenditures were attributable to Central Appalachian operations. This amount represent investments of approximately $48.1 million in our Beckley mining complex, as well as additional investments of $7.2 million in our newly developed East Mac and Nellie, Flint Ridge Deep No. 2, Raven and Mt. Sterling mine sites. Additionally, we expended approximately $35.1 million for upgrades and maintenance at our ICG Hazard, ICG Knott County, ICG East Kentucky and ICG Eastern operations.

We spent approximately $29.6 million for development and improvements of our Northern Appalachian operations in the nine months ended September 30, 2007. Approximately $15.3 million of the amount was investments in our Sentinel and Tygart mine site and approximately $5.6 million was expended for our operations at Jackson Mountain, Imperial, and Guston Run mine sites. Additionally, we invested approximately $8.7 million for current operations at Vindex, Buckhannon, Patriot and Harrison mine sites.

Expenditures of approximately $1.6 million for our Illinois Basin operations were for ongoing operations improvements.

Approximately $11.5 million of capital expenditures in the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were within our Ancillary segment. Approximately $8.8 million was for our investment in a joint operating agreement for the purpose of exploration and development of coalbed methane. The remaining $2.7 million is attributable to upgrades maintenance at various other subsidiaries.

As a result of recent accidents in the mining industry, new legislation has been announced that will require additional capital expenditures to meet enhanced safety standards. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we spent $3.9 million to meet these standards and anticipate spending an additional $5.3 million for the remainder of 2007 and an additional $1.9 million in 2008.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities was $29.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, an increase of $0.5 million from the same period in 2006. This increase is attributable to an increase in net operating assets and liabilities of $37.2 million offset by an increase in net loss of $37.7 million after adjustment for non-cash charges.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, net cash used in investing activities was $90.2 million compared to $121.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. For the first nine months of 2007, $132.7 million of cash was used to support existing mining operations and for development of new mining complexes compared to $127.4 million in the same period 2006. Investing activities for the first nine months of 2007 also included cash paid of $2.9 million representing contingency payments related to the Horizon acquisition as compared to $3.7 million in 2006. Additionally, we collected proceeds from asset sales of $45.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 versus $3.5 million during the comparable period of 2006.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $194.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was primarily due to proceeds of $225.0 million from our convertible senior notes offering. Additionally, we had borrowings of $65.0 million on our credit facility and an additional $26.0 million was provided by short-term notes entered into during the period. These borrowings were offset by repayments on our short-term and long-term debt and capital leases of $44.8 million and $67.5 million, respectively. Also impacting financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was additional finance costs of $9.3 million related to the issuance of our convertible notes and amending our credit facility.

Other

As a regular part of our business, we review opportunities for, and engage in discussions and negotiations concerning, the acquisition of coal mining assets and interests in coal mining companies, and acquisitions of, or combinations with, coal mining companies. When we believe that these opportunities are consistent with our growth plans and our acquisition criteria, we will make bids or proposals and/or enter into letters of intent and other similar agreements, which may be binding or nonbinding, that are customarily subject to a variety of conditions and usually permit us to terminate the discussions and any related agreement if, among other things, we are not satisfied with the results of our due diligence investigation. Any acquisition opportunities we pursue could materially affect our liquidity and capital 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 mine 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. Based upon our current operations, the historical results of our predecessors, as well as those of Anker and CoalQuest, we believe that cash flow from operations, together with other available sources of funds, including additional borrowings under our credit facility, proceeds from our convertible notes offering and from the sale of the Denmark reserve, will be adequate for at least the next 12 months for making required payments of principal and interest on our indebtedness and for funding anticipated capital expenditures and working capital requirements. 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

Fair Value Measurements. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands the disclosures on fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows, but we do expect adoption to result in additional information to be included in the footnotes accompanying our consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value Option. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 provides entities with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 159 to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Income Taxes. In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 increases the relevancy and comparability of financial reporting by clarifying the way companies account for uncertainty related to income taxes. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Adoption of FIN 48 resulted in a decrease of $0.1 million in our retained earnings balance as of January 1, 2007.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 month periods ended September 30, 2007 is 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/A for the year ended December 31, 2006 for a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest rate risk. In May 2006, we entered into an Interest Rate Collar Agreement, which became effective on March 31, 2007 and expires March 31, 2009, to hedge our interest risk on an initial $100 million (increasing to $200 million in March 2008) notional amount of revolving debt. The interest rate collar is designed as a cash flow hedge to offset the impact of changes in the LIBOR interest rate above 5.92% and below 4.80%. This agreement was entered into in conjunction with our renegotiated credit facility dated June 23, 2006. We recognize the change in the fair value of this agreement in the income statement in the period of change.

At September 30, 2007, we had $225.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 9.0% convertible notes outstanding. A hypothetical 1% increase in interest rates would not have a material impact on net loss. The fair value of the convertible notes was approximately $236.8 million as of September 30, 2007.

Market price risk. We are exposed to market price risk in the normal course of mining and selling coal. As of September 30, 2007, 99% of 2007 planned production is committed for sale, leaving approximately 1% uncommitted for sale. A hypothetical decrease of $1.00 per ton in the market price for coal would reduce pre-tax income by approximately $0.2 million for 2007.

 

Item 4. 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 (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Periodically, we review the design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and controls over financial reporting to ensure they remain effective. If such reviews identify a need, we will make modifications to improve the design and effectiveness of our control structure.

Control systems, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that control objectives are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company will be detected. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by individuals, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override. Over time, controls can become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance may deteriorate. Further, the design of any system of controls is based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in any cost-effective control system, misstatements due to errors or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements

While finalizing our quarterly results for the period ended September 30, 2007, we identified immaterial overstatements related to certain leasehold and ownership interests in land, accrued property taxes and certain other items. As a result, we filed an amendment to our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A to restate our consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations and cash flows as of and for the two years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, and for the period May 11, 2004 (inception) to December 31, 2004 to make the required corrections. These restatements primarily relate to amounts recorded on our opening balance sheets associated with acquisitions. In addition, the March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007 financial statements have also been restated to reflect these corrections. The impact of the identified overstatements was immaterial on the results of operations in each period affected.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As a result of the restatement described above, we reevaluated the effectiveness of our controls and procedures under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. We concluded that the control deficiencies noted above aggregate to the level of a material weakness. A material weakness is defined as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Based upon their reassessed evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of September 30, 2007.

Notwithstanding the material weakness noted above, our management has concluded, based on its evaluation and additional procedures performed to measure the potential impact of the material weakness, that the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A reflect all normal, recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the periods presented.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management did not make any significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the third quarter of fiscal 2007 that would have materially affected, or would be reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Subsequent to September 30, 2007, management has continued to review, revise and improve the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Management, with oversight from the Audit Committee, has been addressing the material weakness disclosed in our amended Form 10-K/A and is committed to effectively remediating this material weakness. Although we have put new control procedures in place, control weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the new controls are operational for a period of time and tested, and until management and its registered public accounting firm conclude that these controls are operating effectively.

PART II

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On November 18, 2005, ICG, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky, Ashland Division, against Massey Coal Sales Company, Inc. (“Massey Coal Sales”), seeking damages for breach of a coal supply agreement under which Massey Coal Sales supplies coal to ICG, LLC for resale to a customer of ICG, LLC. On July 5, 2007, ICG, LLC and Massey Coal Sales entered into a Mutual Release and Settlement Agreement settling all claims among the parties in both the federal court action and the state court action, with no payments due to be paid by us.

On April 5, 2007 a class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of West Virginia against us and certain of our officers and directors. The complaint alleges that our registration statements filed in connection with our initial public offering contained false and misleading statements, and that investors relied upon those securities filings and suffered damages as a result. The court ordered certain plaintiffs to serve as lead plaintiffs and lead counsel, and, as a result, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on August 24, 2007. We filed a Motion to Dismiss the Amended Class Action Complaint on September 28, 2007, and that motion remains pending.

Allegheny Energy Supply (“Allegheny”), the sole customer of coal produced at our subsidiary Wolf Run Mining Company’s (“Wolf Run”) Sycamore No. 2 mine, filed a lawsuit against Wolf Run, Anker Coal Group, Inc. (“Anker”), and us in state court in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania on December 28, 2006, and amended its complaint on April 23, 2007. In its amended complaint, Allegheny alleges that the production stoppages constitute a breach of the contract, breach of the guarantee agreement by Anker and breach of certain representations made upon entering into the contract in early 2005. Allegheny has since voluntarily dropped its allegations regarding misrepresentations. We answered the complaint on August 13, 2007, disputing all of the remaining claims. Coal shipments to Allegheny from the Sycamore No. 2 mine were resumed by us in September 2007.

On October 24, 2007, the United States of America, on behalf of the United States Environmental Protection Agency, filed a complaint against our subsidiary Patriot Mining Company, Inc. (“Patriot”), in the United States District Court of the Northern District of West Virginia, and concurrent with that filing, the parties filed a Stipulation and Order as a compromise of the disputed claims. The complaint alleged a violation in connection with reporting a release of anhydrous ammonia at the former Squire’s Creek Mine (the “Facility”) on June 24, 2004, and reporting information relating to the storage of anhydrous ammonia at the Facility before and after the release. Patriot denied the allegations, and pursuant to the Stipulation and Order agreed to pay approximately $0.2 million as full and final settlement of all claims. At September 30, 2007, we had recorded a reserve for the amount of the settlement.

In addition, from time-to-time, we are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe we have recorded adequate reserves for these liabilities and there is no individual case or group of related cases pending that is likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following are additional risk factors that should be considered:

Increased leverage as a result of the notes offering may harm our financial condition and results of operations.

After giving effect to the issuance of the convertible notes and the amendment to our senior credit facility, our total consolidated long-term debt as of September 30, 2007 was approximately $409.2 million and represented approximately 39% of our total capitalization, excluding current indebtedness of approximately $4.7 million, as of that date. In addition, the indenture for the convertible notes does not restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness. Our level of indebtedness could have important consequences on our future operations, including:

 

   

making it more difficult for us to meet our payment and other obligations under the notes and our other outstanding debt;

 

   

resulting in an event of default if we fail to comply with the financial and other restrictive covenants contained in our debt agreements, which could result in all of our debt becoming immediately due and payable;

 

   

subjecting us to the risk of increased sensitivity to interest rate increases on our indebtedness with variable interest rates, including borrowings under our senior credit facility;

 

   

reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes, and limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for these purposes;

 

   

limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, and increasing our vulnerability to, changes in our business, the industry in which we operate and the general economy; and

 

   

placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt or are less leveraged.

Any of the above-listed factors could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to meet our payment obligations under the notes, the convertible notes and our other debt.

We may be exposed to potential risks if we do not have an effective system of disclosure controls or internal controls.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed. We have in our past, and may in the future, discover deficiencies in our internal controls. For example, as more fully described in Item 4 of this filing, our management concluded that as of December 31, 2006 we had control deficiencies related to certain leasehold and ownership interests in land, accrued property taxes and certain other items.

Our management determined these control deficiencies aggregate to the level of a material weakness that could result in a material misstatement to annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Although new control procedures have been implemented, control weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the new controls are operational for a period of time and tested, and until management and its registered public accounting firm conclude that these controls are operating effectively. A failure to implement and maintain effective internal control to correct the deficiencies identified above, could result in a material misstatement of our financial statements or otherwise cause us to fail to meet our financial reporting obligations. This, in turn, could result in a loss of investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and our stock price.

Our ability and the ability of some of our subsidiaries to engage in some business transactions or to pursue our business strategy may be limited by the terms of our existing debt.

Our senior credit facility contains a number of financial covenants requiring us to meet financial ratios and financial condition tests. The indenture governing our outstanding senior notes and our senior credit facility also restrict our and our subsidiaries’ ability to:

 

   

incur additional debt or issue guarantees;

 

   

pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase capital stock;

 

   

allow our subsidiaries to issue new stock to any person other than us or any of our other subsidiaries;

 

   

make certain investments;

 

   

make acquisitions;

 

   

incur, or permit to exist, liens;

 

   

enter into transactions with affiliates;

 

   

guarantee the debt of other entities, including joint ventures;

 

   

merge or consolidate or otherwise combine with another company; and

 

   

transfer or sell a material amount of our assets outside the ordinary course of business.

These covenants could adversely affect our ability to finance our future operations or capital needs or to execute preferred business strategies.

Our ability to borrow under our senior credit facility will depend upon our ability to comply with these covenants and our borrowing base requirements. Our ability to meet these covenants and requirements may be affected by events beyond our control and we may not meet these obligations. From time to time we have amended or revised our financial covenants, and have also received waivers of covenant compliance under our senior credit facility. However, we may not continue to receive waivers from our lenders or be permitted to amend the financial covenants. Our failure to comply with these covenants and requirements could result in an event of default under the indenture governing our outstanding senior notes that, if not cured or waived, could permit acceleration our senior notes and convertible notes and permit foreclosure on any collateral granted as security under our senior credit facility. If our indebtedness is accelerated, we may not be able to repay the senior notes and convertible notes or borrow sufficient funds to refinance them. Even if we were able to obtain new financing, it may not be on commercially reasonable terms, on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. If our debt is in default for any reason, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

We are subject to limitations on capital expenditures under our senior credit facility. Because of these limitations, we may not be able to pursue our business strategy to replace our equipment fleet as it ages, develop additional mines or pursue additional acquisitions without additional financing.
