Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

NACoal has two consolidated mining operations: Mississippi Lignite Mining Company (“MLMC”) and Reed Minerals. NACoal also provides dragline mining services for independently owned limerock quarries in Florida. NACoal has ten wholly owned unconsolidated subsidiaries that each meet the definition of a variable interest entity and are accounted for using the equity method:

The Coteau Properties Company ("Coteau")

The Falkirk Mining Company ("Falkirk")

The Sabine Mining Company ("Sabine")

Demery Resources Company, LLC (“Demery”)

Caddo Creek Resources Company, LLC (“Caddo Creek”)

Coyote Creek Mining Company, LLC (“Coyote Creek”)

Camino Real Fuels, LLC (“Camino Real”)

Liberty Fuels Company, LLC (“Liberty”)

NoDak Energy Services, LLC ("NoDak")

North American Coal Corporation India Private Limited ("NACC India")

Coteau, Falkirk and Sabine were developed between 1974 and 1981 and operate lignite coal mines under long-term contracts with various utility customers. Coteau, Falkirk and Sabine are capitalized primarily with debt financing, which the utility customers have arranged and guaranteed, and are without recourse to NACCO and NACoal.

Demery, Caddo Creek, Coyote Creek, Camino Real and Liberty (collectively with Coteau, Falkirk and Sabine, the "Unconsolidated Mines") were formed to develop, construct and operate surface mines under long-term contracts. Demery commenced delivering coal to its customer in 2012 and is expected to reach full production levels in late 2015 or 2016. Liberty commenced production in June 2013 and is expected to increase production levels gradually from 1 to 2 million tons in 2014 to full production of approximately 4.7 million tons annually in 2019. Caddo Creek, Coyote Creek and Camino Real are still in development and are not expected to be at full production for several years.

NoDak was formed to operate and maintain a coal processing facility. NACC India was formed to provide technical advisory services to the third-party owners of a coal mine in India.

The contracts with customers of the Unconsolidated Mines provide for reimbursement at a price based on actual costs plus an agreed pre-tax profit per ton of coal sold or actual costs plus a management fee. Although NACoal owns 100% of the equity and manages the daily operations of these entities, the Company has determined that the equity capital provided by NACoal is not sufficient to adequately finance the ongoing activities or absorb any expected losses without additional support from the customers. The customers have a controlling financial interest and have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the entities. As a result, NACoal is not the primary beneficiary and therefore does not consolidate these entities' financial position or results of operations.

The income taxes resulting from the operations of the unconsolidated mines are solely the responsibility of the Company. The pre-tax income from the unconsolidated mines is reported on the line “Earnings of unconsolidated mines” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, with related income taxes included in the provision for income taxes. The Company has included the pre-tax earnings of the unconsolidated mines, excluding NoDak and NACC India, above operating profit because they are an integral component of the Company's business and operating results.

The pre-tax income from NoDak is reported on the line "Income from other unconsolidated affiliates" in the "Other (income) expense" section of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, with the related income taxes included in the provision for income taxes. The net income from NACC India is reported on the line "Income from other unconsolidated affiliates" in the "Other (income) expense" section of the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The investments in the ten Unconsolidated Mines and related tax positions totaled $35.2 million, $20.2 million, and $22.5 million at September 30, 2013, December 31, 2012, and September 30, 2012, respectively, and is included on the line “Other Non-current Assets” in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company's maximum risk of loss relating to these entities is limited to its invested capital, which was $5.0 million, $3.2 million, and $5.2 million at September 30, 2013, December 31, 2012, and September 30, 2012 respectively.
