Arch Coal, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Arch Coal, Inc. and its subsidiaries and controlled entities (the Company). The Companys primary business is the production of steam and metallurgical coal from surface and underground mines located throughout the United States, for sale to utility, industrial and export markets. On June 15, 2011, the Company acquired International Coal Group, Inc. (ICG), as described in Note 3, Business Combinations. The Company operates 23 mining complexes in West Virginia, Kentucky, Maryland, Virginia, Illinois, Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. All subsidiaries (except as noted below) are wholly-owned. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial reporting and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. Results of operations for the three period ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011 included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company owns a 99% membership interest in a joint venture named Arch Western Resources, LLC (Arch Western) which operates coal mines in Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. The Company also acts as the managing member of Arch Western. On April 9, 2012, Delta Housing, Inc., the other member in Arch Western, exercised their contractual right to require us to purchase their membership interests in Arch Western. The negotiation of this sale and purchase is ongoing and we expect to complete this acquisition by the end of the third quarter.
2. Accounting Policies
There is no new accounting guidance that is expected to have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.
3. Business Combination
On June 15, 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of ICG, a leading coal producer. During the first quarter of 2012, the Company finalized the determination of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition, with no material adjustments to what was recorded as of December 31, 2011.

The current maturities of debt include contractual maturities, as well as amounts borrowed that are supported by credit facilities that have a term of less than one year and amounts borrowed under credit facilities with terms longer than one year that the Company does not intend to refinance on a long-term basis, based on cash projections and managements plans.
On April 30, 2012, the Company received commitment letters with lending institutions to refinance certain indebtedness having near-term maturities and to increase the Companys liquidity in order to execute on key long-term growth initiatives, particularly the development of the Companys metallurgical coal properties. As part of the financing package, these lenders have agreed, subject to certain customary conditions, to enter into an amendment to the existing senior secured revolving credit facility which will, among other things, suspend the Companys compliance with the debt-to-EBITDA ratio and other financial covenants in the existing credit agreement over the next 24 months and replace them with minimum performance targets at levels consistent with the current coal market environment. We will also receive a $1 billion, six-year term loan facility, which will contain no financial maintenance covenants, and the maximum borrowing capacity of the revolving credit facility will be reduced from $2 billion to $1 billion. The proceeds of the term loan will be used to retire the outstanding $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6 ¾% Senior Notes due 2013 issued by Arch Western Finance, LLC (Arch Western Finance), the Companys indirect subsidiary.
On May 1, 2012, Arch Western Finance commenced a cash tender offer for any and all of its outstanding $450.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6 ¾% Senior Notes due 2013. In connection with the tender offer, Arch Western Finance is soliciting consents from the holders of the senior notes for certain proposed amendments to the indenture governing the notes that eliminates most of the covenants and certain default provisions applicable to the senior notes, as well as reduce the minimum notice period in the optional redemption provision of the senior notes from 30 days to three days If Arch Western Finance purchases less than all of the outstanding senior notes in the tender offer, it intends to redeem any senior notes that remain outstanding. The terms and conditions of the tender offer and consent solicitation are described in an Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement (the Statement) and a related Consent and Letter of Transmittal (the Letter of Transmittal), which have been sent to holders of the senior notes. The Consent Solicitation expires on May 14, 2012, prior to which the consideration for each $1,000 of principal is $1,002.50. For notes tendered after the expiration of the Consent Solicitation and before May 29, 2012, the end of the tender offer, the consideration for each $1,000 of principal is $972.50.
5. Goodwill
An approximate 20% drop in the Companys stock price during the first quarter of 2012, combined with significant decrease in thermal coal demand during the quarter, indicated that the fair value of the Companys goodwill could be less than its carrying value. Accordingly, we performed the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2012. The fair value of all reporting units that have been assigned goodwill exceeded their respective carrying values, so no further testing was necessary. The value of our Black Thunder reporting unit, where $115.8 million of goodwill has been allocated, would be sensitive to future volume variations should thermal markets weaken further, which could cause us to perform step 2 of the test. The goodwill allocated to certain Appalachia reporting units is particularly sensitive to volatility in the demand for metallurgical coal. Should metallurgical coal markets weaken, it could cause the fair value of the reporting units to be less than their carrying value, requiring us to perform step 2 of the test for impairment. Additionally, further sustained declines in the Companys stock price below levels experienced in the first quarter would also require us to perform step-2 of the test for impairment. Performance of step 2 of the impairment test, which requires a valuation of individual assets and liabilities of the respective reporting units in order to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill could result in an impairment of goodwill.
6. Equity Investments and Membership Interests in Joint Ventures
The Company accounts for its investments and membership interests in joint ventures under the equity method of accounting if the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the entity.

7. Derivatives
Diesel fuel price risk management
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to diesel fuel purchased for use in its operations. The Company anticipates purchasing approximately 75 to 80 million gallons of diesel fuel for use in its operations during 2012. To reduce the volatility in the
price of diesel fuel for its operations, the Company uses forward physical diesel purchase contracts, as well as heating oil swaps and purchased call options. At March 31, 2012, the Company had protected the price of approximately 85% of its expected purchases for the remainder of fiscal year 2012 and 50% of its first quarter of 2013 purchases.
At March 31, 2012, the Company had purchased heating oil call options for approximately 59 million gallons for the purpose of managing the price risk associated with future diesel purchases. During the first quarter of 2012 the Company determined, the effectiveness of the heating oil options could not be established as of December 31, 2011 on an ongoing basis. As a result, the amount remaining in accumulated other comprehensive income of $8.2 million, or $5.2 million net of income taxes, was recorded in earnings, in the other income, net line on the condensed consolidated statement of income. The out of period adjustment is not deemed material to prior period results, the expected results of the full 2012 fiscal year or for the trend of earnings of the Company.
The Company also purchased heating oil call options to hedge the fuel surcharges on its barge and rail shipments that cover increases in diesel fuel prices. These positions reduce the Companys risk of cash flow fluctuations related to these surcharges but the positions are not accounted for as hedges. At March 31, 2012, Company held purchased call options for approximately 15.5 million gallons for the purpose of managing the fluctuations in cash flows associated with fuel surcharges on future shipments.
Coal risk management positions
The Company may sell or purchase forward contracts, swaps and options in the over-the-counter coal market in order to manage its exposure to coal prices. The Company has exposure to the risk of fluctuating coal prices related to forecasted sales or purchases of coal or to the risk of changes in the fair value of a fixed price physical sales contract. Certain derivative contracts may be designated as hedges of these risks.
At March 31, 2012, the Company held derivatives for risk management purposes that are expected to settle in the following years :

Coal trading positions
The Company may sell or purchase forward contracts, swaps and options in the over-the-counter coal market for trading purposes. The Company is exposed to the risk of changes in coal prices on the value of its coal trading portfolio. The estimated future realization of the value of the trading portfolio is $4.3 million of losses in 2012 and $2.2 million of losses in 2013.
Tabular derivatives disclosures
The Companys contracts with certain of its counterparties allow for the settlement of contracts in an asset position with contracts in a liability position in the event of default or termination. Such netting arrangements reduce the Companys credit exposure related to these counterparties. For classification purposes, the Company records the net fair value of all the positions with a given counterparty as a net asset or liability in the consolidated balance sheets. The amounts shown in the table below represent the fair value position of individual contracts, regardless of the net position presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The fair value and location of derivatives reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are as follows:

9. Fair Value Measurements
The hierarchy of fair value measurements prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The levels of the hierarchy, as defined below, give the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.
· Level 1 is defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 1 assets include available-for-sale equity securities and coal futures that are submitted for clearing on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
· Level 2 is defined as observable inputs other than Level 1 prices. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The Companys level 2 assets and liabilities include commodity contracts (coal and heating oil) with fair values derived from quoted prices in over-the-counter markets or from prices received from direct broker quotes.
· Level 3 is defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. These include the Companys commodity option contracts (primarily coal and heating oil) valued using modeling techniques, such as Black-Scholes, that require the use of inputs, particularly volatility, that are rarely observable. Changes in the unobservable inputs would not have a significant impact on the reported Level 3 fair values at March 31, 2012.
The table below sets forth, by level, the Companys financial assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet:

The Companys contracts with certain of its counterparties allow for the settlement of contracts in an asset position with contracts in a liability position in the event of default or termination. For classification purposes, the Company records the net fair value of all the positions with these counterparties as a net asset or liability. Each level in the table above displays the underlying contracts according to their classification in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet, based on this counterparty netting.
The following table summarizes the change in the fair values of financial instruments categorized as level 3.

Net unrealized gains during the three month period ended March 31, 2012 related to level 3 financial instruments held on March 31, 2012 were $2.8 million.
Fair Value of Long-Term Debt
At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the fair value of the Companys senior notes and other long-term debt, including amounts classified as current, was $3.9 billion and $4.2 billion, respectively. The fair values are based upon observed prices in an active market, and as such are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
10. Stock-Based Compensation and Other Incentive Plans
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company granted options to purchase approximately 1.1 million shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $13.93 per share and a weighted average grant-date fair value of $5.42 per share. The options fair value was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using a weighted average risk-free rate of .767%, a weighted average dividend yield of 3.16% and a weighted average volatility of 60.18%. The options expected life is 4.5 years and the options vest ratably over three years, and provide for the continuation of vesting after retirement for recipients that meet certain criteria. The expense for these options will be recognized through the date that the employee first becomes eligible to retire and is no longer required to provide service to earn all or part of the award.
The Company has a long-term incentive program that allows for the award of performance units. The total number of units earned by a participant is based on financial and operational performance measures, and may be paid out in cash or in shares of the Companys common stock. The Company recognizes compensation expense over the three-year term of the grant. Amounts unpaid for all grants under the plan totaled $7.5 million and $9.6 million as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

The effect of options to purchase 3.0 million and 1.1 million shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, because the exercise price of these options exceeded the average market price of the Companys common stock for these periods.
14. Guarantees
The Company has agreed to continue to provide surety bonds and letters of credit for the reclamation and retiree healthcare obligations of Magnum Coal Company (Magnum) related to the properties the Company sold to Magnum on December 31, 2005. Patriot Coal Corporation (Patriot) acquired Magnum in July 2008. The purchase agreement requires Magnum to reimburse the Company for costs related to the surety bonds and letters of credit and to use commercially reasonable efforts to replace the obligations. If the surety bonds and letters of credit related to the reclamation obligations are not replaced by Magnum within a specified period of time, Magnum must post a letter of credit in favor of the Company in the amounts of the reclamation obligations. As of March 31, 2012, Patriot has replaced $48.9 million of the surety bonds and has posted letters of credit of $16.7 million in the Companys favor. At March 31, 2012, the Company had $38.5 million of surety bonds remaining related to properties sold to Magnum. The surety bonding amounts are mandated by the state and are not directly related to the estimated cost to reclaim the properties.
Magnum also acquired certain coal supply contracts with customers who have not consented to the contracts assignment from the Company to Magnum. The Company has committed to purchase coal from Magnum to sell to those customers at the same price it is charging the customers for the sale. Under the amended coal supply contracts, as amended, Magnum has the ability to buy out of its obligations under the contract at prices that are predetermined for the remainder of the agreement. Certain other contracts were assigned to Magnum. If Magnum is unable to supply the coal for these coal sales contracts or pay the buy out amount if elected, then the Company would be required to fulfill Magnums delivery or payment obligations. The longest of the coal supply contracts extends to the year 2017. At market prices effective at March 31, 2012, the maximum amount to fulfill Magnums obligations under the contracts that have not been assigned over their duration would be approximately $64.1 million, and the cost of purchasing 573 thousand tons of coal to supply the assigned and guaranteed contracts over their duration would exceed the sales price under the contracts by approximately $12.2 million. As the Company does not believe that it is probable that it would have to purchase replacement coal, no losses have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2012. However, if the Company would have to perform under these guarantees, it could potentially have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company.
In connection with the Companys acquisition of the coal operations of Atlantic Richfield Company (ARCO) and the simultaneous combination of the acquired ARCO operations and the Companys Wyoming operations into the Arch Western joint venture, the Company agreed to indemnify the other member of Arch Western against certain tax liabilities in the event that such liabilities arise prior to June 1, 2013 as a result of certain actions taken, including the sale or other disposition of certain properties of Arch Western, the repurchase of certain equity interests in Arch Western by Arch Western or the reduction under certain circumstances of indebtedness incurred by Arch Western in connection with the acquisition. If the Company were to become liable, the maximum amount of potential future tax payments is $16.3 million at March 31, 2012, which is not recorded as a liability in the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements. Since the indemnification is dependent upon the initiation of activities within the Companys control and the Company does not intend to initiate such activities, it is remote that the Company will become liable for any obligation related to this indemnification. However, if such indemnification obligation were to arise, it could potentially have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company.
15. Contingencies
Allegheny Energy Supply (Allegheny), the sole customer of coal produced at the Companys subsidiary Wolf Run Mining Companys (Wolf Run) Sycamore No. 2 mine, filed a lawsuit against Wolf Run, Hunter Ridge Holdings, Inc. (Hunter Ridge), and ICG in state court in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania on December 28, 2006, and amended its complaint on April 23, 2007. Allegheny claimed 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 continued 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 alleged 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. Allegheny voluntarily dropped the breach of representation claims later. Allegheny claimed that it would incur costs in excess of $100 million to purchase replacement coal over the life of the contract. ICG, Wolf Run and Hunter Ridge answered the amended complaint on August 13, 2007, disputing all of the remaining claims.
On November 3, 2008, ICG, 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. On September 23, 2009, Allegheny filed a second amended complaint alleging several alternative theories of liability in its effort to extend contractual liability to ICG, 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. ICG answered the second amended complaint on October 13, 2009, denying all of the new claims ICGs counterclaim was dismissed on motion for summary judgment entered on May 11, 2010. Alleghenys claims against ICG were also dismissed by summary judgment, but the claims against Wolf Run and Hunter Ridge were not. The court conducted a non-jury trial of this matter beginning on January 10, 2011 and concluding on February 1, 2011. At the trial, Allegheny presented its evidence for breach of contract and claimed that it is entitled to past and future damages in the aggregate of between $228.0 million and $377.0 million. Wolf Run and Hunter Ridge presented their defense of the claims, including evidence with respect to the existence of force majeure conditions and excuse under the contract and applicable law. Wolf Run and Hunter Ridge presented evidence that Alleghenys damages calculations were significantly inflated because it did not seek to determine damages as of the time of the breach and in some instances artificially assumed future non-delivery or did not take into account the apparent requirement to supply coal in the future. On May 2, 2011, the trial court entered a Memorandum and Verdict determining that Wolf Run had breached the coal supply contract and that the performance shortfall was not excused by force majeure. ICG and Allegheny filed post-verdict motions in the trial court and on August 23, 2011, the court denied the parties motions. The court entered a final judgment on August 25, 2011, in the amount of $104.1 million, which included pre-judgment interest. The parties appealed the lower courts decision to the
Superior Court of Pennsylvania. Wolf Run and Hunter Ridge have filed an appeal bond in the amount of $124.9 million. Briefing is complete and oral argument is scheduled for May 16, 2012.
As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had accrued $109.8 million and $108.3 million, respectively, for this lawsuit, including interest. The ultimate resolution of this matter could result in an outcome which may be materially different than what the Company has accrued.
In addition, the Company is a party to numerous claims and lawsuits with respect to various matters. The Company provides for costs related to contingencies when a loss is probable and the amount is reasonably determinable. After conferring with counsel, it is the opinion of management that the ultimate resolution of pending claims, other than as noted above, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.
16. Segment Information
The Company has three reportable business segments, which are based on the major coal producing basins in which the Company operates. Each of these reportable business segments includes a number of mine complexes. The Company manages its coal sales by coal basin, not by individual mine complex. Geology, coal transportation routes to customers, regulatory environments and coal quality are characteristic to a basin. Accordingly, market and contract pricing have developed by coal basin. Mine operations are evaluated based on their per-ton operating costs (defined as including all mining costs but excluding pass-through transportation expenses), as well as on other non-financial measures, such as safety and environmental performance. The Companys reportable segments are the Powder River Basin (PRB) segment, with operations in Wyoming; the Western Bituminous (WBIT) segment, with operations in Utah, Colorado and southern Wyoming; the Appalachia (APP) segment, with operations in West Virginia, Kentucky, Maryland and Virginia. The Appalachia segment includes the acquired ICG operations in Appalachia, as well as the Companys previous Central Appalachia segment. The Other operating segment represents primarily the Companys Illinois operations and ADDCAR subsidiary, which manufactures and sells its patented highwall mining system.
Operating segment results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 are presented below. Results for the reportable segments include all direct costs of mining, including all depreciation, depletion and amortization related to the mining operations, even if the assets are not recorded at the operating segment level. See discussion of segment assets below. Corporate, Other and Eliminations includes the change in fair value of coal derivatives and coal trading activities, net; corporate overhead; land management; other support functions; and the elimination of intercompany transactions.
The asset amounts below represent an allocation of assets used in the segments cash-generating activities. The amounts in Corporate, Other and Eliminations represent primarily corporate assets (cash, receivables, investments, plant, property and equipment) as well as unassigned coal reserves, above-market acquired sales contracts and other unassigned assets.
