NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

June 30, 2005

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

 

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future periods.

 

The balance sheet at December 31, 2004 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all the notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

 

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2004 included in CONSOL Energy’s Form 10-K.

 

Certain reclassifications of 2004 data have been made to conform to the six months ended June 30, 2005 classifications.

 

In the three months ended March 31, 2005, there was a settlement related to the Harmar Environmental Trust (the Trust). The Trust Settlement was due to the court’s decision to terminate a Trust Agreement among CONSOL Energy Inc. (CONSOL Energy) and other parties. The Trust was established in 1988 to provide funding for water treatment related to the now closed Harmar Mine. Other parties funded the trust. CONSOL Energy was responsible for completing water treatment activities, but all costs associated with these activities were funded by the Trust. Any excess funding upon completion of water treatment or a specified date in the future were to be distributed to the parties that originally funded the trust. In the decision, all previously funded, but unused, amounts remaining in the Trust were distributed. CONSOL Energy’s portion of the distributed funds, $15,000, was placed into an escrow account, pending provision of financial assurance supporting CONSOL Energy water treatment obligations. In the quarter ended June 30, 2005, CONSOL Energy has provided the financial assurance for this obligation and the funds have been released from escrow. CONSOL Energy is responsible for the on-going water treatment at this facility. CONSOL Energy recorded the funding and $8,517 for present value of the water treatment liability, resulting in $6,483 of income in the six months ended June 30, 2005.

 

CONSOL Energy restated first quarter 2004 net income by approximately $2,164, or $0.02 per share, to reflect the recognition of favorable effects of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 as of March 8, 2004 in accordance with

authoritative accounting implementation guidance. The restatement reduced cost of goods sold by $2,347 and selling, general and administrative expenses by $82. Income tax expense was increased by $265 due to this adjustment.

 

In February 2005, CONSOL Energy’s Buchanan Mine, located near Keen Mountain, Virginia, experienced a cave-in behind the longwall mining machinery and an ignition of methane gas that started a fire. The mine was evacuated safely and was sealed on February 16, 2005 in order to extinguish any fire by cutting off oxygen to the mine’s underground atmosphere. Costs related to the fire of approximately $23,291 and $36,858, net of expected insurance recovery, have been incurred for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. Costs to CONSOL Energy are primarily reflected in Cost of Goods Sold and Other Charges and Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization on the consolidated statement of income. Expected insurance recovery for the fire related costs are reflected in Other Receivables. The fire has been extinguished and the mine was restarted on June 16, 2005.

 

In January 2003, Mine 84, near Washington, Pennsylvania experienced a fire along several hundred feet of the conveyor belt servicing the longwall section of the mine. The fire was extinguished approximately two weeks later. Expected insurance recovery for damages of approximately $1,034 and $2,819 were reflected in Other Receivables at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. CONSOL Energy received $1,785 of this receivable in the three months ended June 30, 2005.

 

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share are computed similarly to basic earnings per share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the assumed exercise of stock options, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options were exercised and that the proceeds from such exercises were used to acquire shares of common stock at the average market price during the reporting period. There were no options to purchase shares of common stock outstanding for the three or six month periods ended June 30, 2005 that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise prices of all options were less than the average market price of the common shares. Options to purchase 1,120,553 shares and 1,124,553 shares of common stock were outstanding for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2004, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares and, therefore, the effect would be antidilutive.

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS:

 

In June 2005, CONSOL Energy completed a sale/lease-back transaction for its headquarters building and certain surrounding land located in Upper Saint Clair, Pennsylvania. Cash proceeds from the sale were $14,000 and resulted in a pretax gain of $8,365, which has been deferred and will be recognized over the initial lease term of 13 years. The lease agreement includes an option to extend the lease term for two five-year periods. The lease is accounted for as an operating lease. Annual rental payments are $1,176 and are payable in equal quarterly installments of $294. The agreement provides for a possible Consumer Price Index adjustment to the annual rental payments at the beginning of the fourth lease year and every four years thereafter.

 

In March 2005, CONSOL Energy through its subsidiary, CONSOL of West Virginia, LLC, acquired a 49% interest in Southern West Virginia Energy, LLC for a cash payment of $6,200. In addition, CONSOL Energy agreed to assume the perpetual care liability after certain bond release work is completed by Southern West Virginia Energy, LLC. The discounted liability assumed by CONSOL Energy is estimated to be $10,159. Southern West Virginia Energy, LLC through its subsidiary will mine low sulfur bituminous coal. The acquisition has been accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The transaction is still under review in relation to Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”. A final determination will be made in the quarter ended September 30, 2005

after all agreements are finalized and analyzed. If it is determined that this entity should be consolidated, the impact on the 2005 first and second quarter financial statements would have been immaterial.

 

In February 2004, CONSOL Energy sold the stock in its wholly owned subsidiary CNX Australia Pty Limited to certain affiliates of AMCI, Inc. for $27,500 ($11,000 of cash and $16,500 of Notes Receivable), the assumption of $21,190 of debt, and associated interest rate swaps and foreign currency hedges. CNX Australia Pty Limited, through its wholly owned subsidiary CONSOL Energy Australia Pty Limited, owned a 50% interest in the Glennies Creek Mine in New South Wales, Australia with its joint venture partner Maitland Main Collieries Pty Limited, an affiliate of AMCI, Inc. The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $14,374.

NOTE 3 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION:

 

CONSOL Energy has implemented the disclosure-only provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure-an Amendment of SFAS No. 123” (SFAS No. 148). CONSOL Energy continues to measure compensation expense for its stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” as amended. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if CONSOL Energy had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 and 148, to stock-based employee compensation:

CONSOL Energy previously disclosed in the notes to its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, that it expected to contribute $66,133 to its pension plan in 2005. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, $16 and $277 of contributions have been made, respectively. CONSOL Energy presently anticipates contributing an additional $70,856 to fund its pension plan in 2005 for a total of $71,133.

 

CONSOL Energy restated first quarter 2004 net periodic benefit cost for its postretirement benefit plans by $2,520 to reflect the recognition of favorable effects of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003, as of March 8, 2004, in accordance with authoritative accounting implementation guidance.

 

As previously disclosed in the notes to its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, CONSOL Energy does not expect to contribute to the other post employment benefit plan in 2005. We intend to pay benefit claims as they become due. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, $30,849 and $63,111 of other post employment benefits have been paid, respectively.

As previously disclosed in the notes to its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, CONSOL Energy does not expect to contribute to the CWP plan in 2005. We intend to pay benefit claims as they become due. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, $3,953 and $8,179 of CWP benefits have been paid, respectively.

 

As previously disclosed in the notes to its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, CONSOL Energy does not expect to contribute to the workers’ compensation plan in 2005. We intend to pay benefit claims as they become due. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, $13,897 and $28,849 of workers’ compensation benefits, state administrative fees and surety bond premiums have been paid, respectively.

 

CONSOL Energy also has expensed $4,598 and $10,505 related to workers’ compensation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, for various state administrative fees and surety bond premiums. The state administrative fees are paid to various states for the right to self-insure workers’ compensation claims.

 

Effective January 1, 2004, CONSOL Energy changed its method of accounting for workers’ compensation. Under the new method, we recorded our liability on a discounted basis, which has been actuarially determined using various assumptions, including discount rate and future cost trends. CONSOL Energy believes this change was preferable since it aligns the accounting with our other long-term employee benefit obligations, which are recorded on a discounted basis. Additionally, it provides a better comparison with our industry peers, the majority of which record the workers’ compensation liability on a discounted basis.

 

As a result of the change, as of January 1, 2004, CONSOL Energy reduced its workers’ compensation liability by $136,453 and reduced its related deferred tax asset by $53,080. The

 

12


cumulative effect adjustment recognized upon adoption was a gain of $83,373, net of a tax cost of approximately $53,080, and accordingly is reflected as a cumulative effect adjustment from a change in accounting. This cumulative effect adjustment is not included in the amounts for 2004 in the table above.

 

NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES:

NOTE 8 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SECURITIZATION

 

In April 2003, CONSOL Energy and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries entered into a trade accounts receivable facility with financial institutions for the sale on a continuous basis of eligible trade accounts receivable. CONSOL Energy formed CNX Funding Corporation, a wholly owned, special purpose, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary for the sole purpose of buying and selling eligible trade receivables generated by certain subsidiaries of CONSOL Energy. Under the receivables facility, CONSOL Energy and certain subsidiaries, irrevocably and without recourse, sell all of their eligible trade accounts receivable to financial institutions and their affiliates, while maintaining a subordinated interest in a portion of the pool of trade receivables. CONSOL Energy will continue to service the sold trade receivables for the financial institutions for a fee based upon market rates for similar services.

 

The receivables facility allows CONSOL Energy to receive, on a revolving basis, up to $125,000. The cost of funds is consistent with commercial paper rates, plus a charge for administrative services paid to the financial institutions. Costs associated with the receivables facility totaled $1,022 and $2,114 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. Costs associated with the receivables facility totaled $721 and $1,239 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively. These costs have been recorded as financing fees, which are included in Cost of Goods Sold and Other Operating Charges in the consolidated statements of income. No servicing asset or liability has been recorded. The receivables facility expires in 2006.

 

At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, eligible accounts receivable totaled approximately $124,300 and $141,100, respectively. The subordinated retained interest at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 was approximately $109,300 and $16,100, respectively. Accounts receivable totaling $15,000 and $125,000 were removed from the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. CONSOL Energy’s $110,000 reduction in the accounts receivable securitization program for the six months ended June 30, 2005 is reflected in cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. The $17,000 of proceeds, net of reductions, from the accounts receivable securitization program for the six months ended June 30, 2004 is also reflected in operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

 

The key economic assumptions used to measure the retained interest at the date of securitization for all such sales completed in 2005 were a discount rate of 3.59% and an estimated life for eligible accounts receivables of 32 days. At June 30, 2005, an increase in the discount rate or

 

14


estimated life of 10% and 20% would have reduced the fair value of the retained interest by $53 and $94, respectively. These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution. As the figures indicate, changes in fair value based on a 10% variation in assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in this example, the effect of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the subordinated retained interest is calculated without changing any other assumption. Changes in any one factor may result in changes in others.

NOTE 10 - DEBT:

 

On April 1, 2005, CONSOL Energy amended the existing credit facility to increase the borrowing capacity, reduce cost and extend the term. The amended facility features a five-year, $750,000 revolving credit facility, replacing the previous $600,000 credit facility, which included the Tranche B credit-linked deposit facility of $200,000. The amended facility is collateralized by nearly all of the assets of CONSOL Energy. Collateral is shared equally and ratably with the holders of CONSOL Energy’s 7.875% bonds that mature in 2012 and CONSOL Energy’s subsidiary’s 8.25% medium-term notes maturing in 2007. Fees and interest rate spreads are based on a ratio of financial covenant debt to twelve month trailing earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization (EBITDA), measured quarterly. Covenants in the amended facility limit our ability to dispose of assets, make investments, purchase or redeem CONSOL Energy common stock and merge with another corporation. The amended facility includes a leverage ratio covenant of not more than 3.25 to 1.00, measured quarterly. The leverage ratio was 0.86 to 1.00 at June 30, 2005. The facility also includes an interest coverage ratio of no less than 4.50 to 1.00, measured quarterly. The interest coverage ratio was 17.70 to 1.00 at June 30, 2005. There are no covenants in the amended facility restricting the level of annual capital expenditures.

NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

 

CONSOL Energy has various purchase commitments for materials, supplies and items of permanent investment incidental to the ordinary conduct of business. Such commitments are not at prices in excess of current market values.

 

One of our subsidiaries, Fairmont Supply Company, which distributes industrial supplies, currently is named as a defendant in approximately 26,200 asbestos claims in state courts in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, Michigan and Mississippi. Because a very small percentage of products manufactured by third parties and supplied by Fairmont in the past may have contained asbestos and many of the pending claims are part of mass complaints filed by hundreds of plaintiffs against a hundred or more defendants, it has been difficult for Fairmont to determine how many of the cases actually involve valid claims or plaintiffs who were actually exposed to asbestos-containing products supplied by Fairmont. In addition, while Fairmont may be entitled to indemnity or contribution in certain jurisdictions from manufacturers of identified products, the availability of such indemnity or contribution is unclear at this time and, in recent years, some of the manufacturers named as defendants in these actions have sought protection from these claims under bankruptcy laws. Fairmont has no insurance coverage with respect to these asbestos cases. To date, payments by Fairmont with respect to asbestos cases have not been material. However, there cannot be any assurance that payments in the future with respect to pending or future asbestos cases will not be material to the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of CONSOL Energy.

 

CONSOL Energy is subject to various lawsuits and claims with respect to such matters as personal injury, wrongful death, damage to property, exposure to hazardous substances, governmental regulations including environmental remediation, employment and contract disputes, and other claims and actions arising out of the normal course of business. CONSOL Energy was notified in November 2004 by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that it is a potentially responsible party (PRP) under Superfund legislation with respect to the Ward Transformer site in Wake County, North Carolina. The EPA has also identified other PRPs. No agreement on an allocation of costs between the PRPs has been reached to date. The estimated total remediation cost for all responsible parties, based on preliminary information, is approximately $7,000 with CONSOL Energy’s portion estimated to be 40%-45% of total. Accordingly, a $3,000 liability is included in other accrued liabilities, of which $1,500 was recorded in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005. CONSOL Energy has made no payments to date related to the remediation of this site.

 

In the opinion of management, the ultimate liabilities resulting from such pending lawsuits and claims will not materially affect the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of CONSOL Energy.

 

On October 21, 2003, a complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania on behalf of Seth Moorhead against CONSOL Energy, J. Brett Harvey and William J. Lyons. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated under the Exchange Act and that during the period between January 24, 2002, and July 18, 2002, the defendants issued false and misleading statements to the public that failed to disclose or misrepresented the following, among other things that: (a) CONSOL utilized an aggressive approach regarding its

 

16


spot market sales by reserving 20% of its production to that market, and that by increasing its exposure to the spot market, CONSOL Energy was subjecting itself to increased risk and uncertainty as the price and demand for coal could be volatile; (b) CONSOL Energy was experiencing difficulty selling the production that it had allocated to the spot market, and, nonetheless, CONSOL Energy maintained its production levels which caused its coal inventory to increase; (c) CONSOL Energy’s increasing coal inventory was causing its expenses to rise dramatically, thereby weakening the Company’s financial condition; and (d) based on the foregoing, defendants’ positive statements regarding CONSOL Energy’s earnings and prospects were lacking in a reasonable basis at all times and therefore were materially false and misleading. The complaint asks the court to (1) award unspecified damages to plaintiff and (2) award plaintiff reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with this action, including counsel fees and expert fees. CONSOL Energy management believes these claims are without merit and, accordingly, has not accrued any liability associated with these claims.

 

At June 30, 2005, CONSOL Energy and certain of its subsidiaries have provided the following financial guarantees. CONSOL Energy management believes that these guarantees will expire without being funded, and therefore the commitments will not have a material adverse effect on financial condition.

NOTE 12- FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

 

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values of financial instruments:

 

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.

 

Short-term notes payable: The carrying amount reported in the balance sheets for short-term notes payable approximates its fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

 

Current and Long-term debt: The fair values of long-term debt are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on CONSOL Energy’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

 

The carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments, excluding derivative financial instruments disclosed in Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk, are as follows:

NOTE 13- SEGMENT INFORMATION:

 

CONSOL Energy has two principal business units: Coal and Gas. The principal activities of the Coal unit are mining, preparation and marketing of steam coal, sold primarily to power generators, and metallurgical coal, sold to metal and coke producers. The Coal unit includes four reportable segments. These reportable segments are Northern Appalachian, Central Appalachian, Metallurgical and Other Coal. Each of these reportable segments includes a number of operating segments (mines). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, the Northern Appalachian aggregated segment includes the following mines: Shoemaker, Blacksville #2, Robinson Run, McElroy, Loveridge, Bailey, Enlow Fork, Mine 84 and Mahoning Valley. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, Central Appalachian aggregated segment includes the following mines: Jones Fork, Mill Creek and Wiley-Mill Creek. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, the Metallurgical aggregated segment includes the following mines: Buchanan, Amonate, Miles Branch and V.P. #8. The Other Coal segment

includes our purchased coal activities, idled mine cost, coal segment business units not meeting aggregation criteria, as well as various other activities assigned to the coal segment but not allocated to each individual mine. The principal activity of the Gas unit is to produce pipeline quality methane gas for sale primarily to gas wholesalers. CONSOL Energy’s All Other classification is made up of the Company’s terminal services, river and dock services, industrial supply services and other business activities, including rentals of buildings and flight operations. The 2004 segment information was reclassified to conform to the 2005 presentation. Royalty income, miscellaneous revenues and Buchanan Generation assets previously reported within Coal and All Other segments are now included in the gas segment. Additionally, the segment information presented has been restated to reflect the restated earnings before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2004 due to the favorable effects of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 as of March 8, 2004, in accordance with authoritative accounting implementation guidance.
