(1)
The comparability of our December 31, 2012 and 2011 quarterly results were affected by a $14.0 million and $13.6 million, respectively, decrease in the ARLP Partnership's workers' compensation liability, excluding discount rate changes, due to the completion of its annual actuarial study, which reflected a favorable development in the ARLP Partnership's disability emergence patterns and claims estimates, as well as of the establishment of credible trends for the Mettiki (WV) claims experience and resulting favorable actuarial estimate adjustments.

(2)
During the quarter ended December 31, 2011, the ARLP Partnership corrected the interest rate used to account for capitalized interest to utilize the Partnership's overall borrowing rate. This correction resulted in a $10.0 million increase in property, plant and equipment (net of $1.2 million of related depreciation, depletion and amortization) and an $11.2 million offsetting decrease to interest expense ($9.4 million of which was related to prior years). Management concluded the effect of the correction was not material to prior periods, 2011 results or the trend of earnings.

(3)
During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the ARLP Partnership recorded a $19.0 million impairment of the carrying value of assets at the Pontiki mine (Note 5).
