WESTMORELAND COAL COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include accounts of Westmoreland Coal Company, or the Company, or Parent, and its subsidiaries and controlled entities. The Company’s current principal activities, all conducted within the United States, are the production and sale of coal from its mines in Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota and Texas, and the ownership of the Roanoke Valley power plants, or ROVA, in North Carolina. The Company’s activities are primarily conducted through wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company’s Kemmerer Mine is owned by its subsidiary Westmoreland Kemmerer, Inc., or Kemmerer. The Company’s Absaloka Mine is owned by its subsidiary Westmoreland Resources, Inc., or WRI. The Beulah, Jewett, Rosebud, and Savage Mines are owned through the Company’s subsidiary Westmoreland Mining LLC, or WML.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and require use of management’s estimates. The financial information contained in this Form 10-Q is unaudited, but reflects all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the periods shown. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.

These quarterly consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, or the 2013 Form 10-K. The accounting principles followed by the Company are set forth in the Notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in its 2013 Form 10-K. Most of the descriptions of the accounting principles and other footnote disclosures previously made have been omitted in this report so long as the interim information presented is not misleading or inconsistent.

Sherritt Acquisition

On December 24, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the coal operations of Sherritt International Corporation, or Sherritt, which consist of its Prairie and Mountain coal mining operations, collectively referred to as the Sherritt Acquisition. These operations include seven producing thermal coal mines in the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, a 50% interest in an activated carbon plant and a Char production facility. The preliminary purchase price of $435 million will be made up of $293 million of cash consideration and the assumption of an estimated $142 million of capital lease liabilities, subject to certain adjustments provided for in the agreement, relating to, among other things, working capital, indebtedness, pension plan funding and coal inventory. Acquisition and financing costs of $18.1 million have been expensed for the three months ended March 31, 2014; which includes $6.8 million of loss on foreign exchange as described in Note 8, $6.1 million of interest expense on the New Notes as described in Note 4, $4.9 million included in Interest expense related to a bridge facility commitment fee, and $0.3 million of other expensesincluded in Selling and administrative costs. The Company expects this acquisition to be completed during the second quarter of 2014.

Debt Obligations

The Company is subject to three major debt arrangements: (1) $81.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes at WML that are collateralized by all assets of WML, Westmoreland Savage Corporation, or WSC, Western Energy Company, or WECO, and Dakota Westmoreland Corporation, or DWC; and (2) $251.5 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes at the Parent level that are collateralized by the assets of the Parent, WRI, Kemmerer and ROVA; and (3) $425.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 10.75% senior secured notes, referred to as the New Notes, which are also collateralized by the assets of the Parent, WRI, Kemmerer and ROVA. The proceeds from the New Notes will be used primarily to pay the purchase price and related expenses for the Sherritt Acquisition, to prepay the outstanding senior secured notes issued of WML debt, and for working capital. The proceeds are being held in escrow pending the completion of the Sherritt Acquisition. See Note 4 for additional details.

Business Interruption Insurance

The Company received business interruption insurance proceeds for the three months ended March 31, 2014 due to an explosion and subsequent fire at a customer’s facility that occurred in November 2011. Operations at that facility resumed during October 2013. The Company recognizes income as business interruption losses are incurred and reimbursement is virtually assured. The Company reports this income in Other operating income and recognized nil and $4.8 million of income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company received $4.6 million of cash proceeds for

WESTMORELAND COAL COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONT.)

the three months ended March 31, 2014 related to income recorded in 2013. Insurance proceeds are included in Net cash provided by operating activities. As of March 31, 2014, the Company has collected all cash proceeds related to income recognized.

Derivatives

The Company utilized foreign exchange derivatives to manage exposure to fluctuations in the exchange rates of the Canadian dollar regarding the Sherritt acquisition. The Company does not utilize derivative financial instruments for trading purposes or for speculative purposes. The Company's derivative instruments are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in Other current assets and Other current liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations at the end of each period in Loss on foreign exchange.

Income Taxes

The difference between the statutory income tax rate and the effective income tax rate is due to a change in the valuation allowance recorded against the net deferred tax assets.

Restructuring Charges

In 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with Dominion Virginia Power, a subsidiary of Dominion, to restructure the remaining five years of the ROVA I and ROVA II contracts. During the first quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $0.4 million for additional contractual obligations. The Company expects that the $5.1 million of accruals will be paid out in the second quarter of 2014.

The table below represents the restructuring provision activity during the three months ended March 31, 2014 (in millions):

For all of its restricted investments and bond collateral accounts, the Company can select from limited fixed-income investment options for the funds and receive the investment returns on these investments. Funds in the restricted investments and bond collateral accounts are not available to meet the Company’s general cash needs. Net proceeds from the New Notes (see Note 4) are held in escrow pending the completion of the Sherritt Acquisition and are held entirely in cash. Other requirements for the Sherritt Acquisition include cash required to be deposited in a restricted account for interest accrued as of March 31, 2014 for the New Notes and other fees expected to be paid in connection with the Sherritt Acquisition.

These accounts include held-to-maturity securities. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts calculated on the effective interest method. Interest income is recognized when earned.

The net proceeds of the offering of the New Notes will be used to finance the approximately $293 million cash portion of the purchase price of the Sherritt Acquisition, an estimated $58 million to satisfy the cash bonding obligations for the Sherritt mines and cash transaction costs associated with the acquisition and offering of the New Notes of approximately $26 million. The remaining balance of the proceeds will be used to fund the prepayment of the WML Notes and for other general corporate purposes. The proceeds of the offering are being held in escrow pending the completion of the acquisition. The Company will pay interest on the New Notes semi-annually on February 1st and August 1st of each year beginning on August 1, 2014. The Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $7.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Promptly following the completion of the Sherritt Acquisition, the Company will exchange the New Notes for $425 million aggregate principal amount of add-on 10.75% senior secured notes due 2018 (the “Add-On Notes”) and the Company will become party to a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which the Company will agree to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission the exchange of Add-On Notes for registered notes with the same terms as the existing 10.75% Senior Notes due 2018.

If the Sherritt Acquisition is not completed on or prior to June 30, 2014, then the New Notes will be subject to a mandatory redemption at a redemption price equal to 101% of the offering price of the New Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest through the mandatory redemption date.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we entered into $12.9 million of new capital leases at our Kemmerer Mine.

Additional information regarding the Company's debt is outlined in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Derivative Assets and Liabilities

The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives, derivatives that qualify for the normal purchase normal sale exception, or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. All derivative financial instruments, except for derivatives that qualify for the normal purchase normal sale exception, are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings if they are not eligible for hedge accounting or in other comprehensive income if they qualify for cash flow hedge accounting.

In the first quarter of 2014, the Company entered into two foreign currency exchange forward contracts to purchase Canadian Dollars in order to hedge a portion of its exposure to fluctuating rates of exchange on anticipated Canadian Dollar-denominated Sherritt Acquisition cash flows. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had two individual foreign currency exchange forward contracts with external counterparties for a total notional amount of $348.3 million, which both have settlement dates of April 30, 2014.

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. See Notes 3, 7 and 8 for additional disclosures related to fair value measurements.

Fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy, as defined below, gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

• Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

• Level 2, 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.

• Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

Long-term debt fair value estimates are based on observed prices for securities with an active trading market when available (Level 2) and otherwise using discount rate estimates based on interest rates as of March 31, 2014 (Level 3). The estimated fair values of the Company’s debt with fixed interest rates are as follows:

	Carrying Value		Fair Value
	(In thousands)
December 31, 2013	$	328,473	$	364,329
March 31, 2014	$	777,670	$	823,603

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, primarily foreign exchange contracts, to reduce its exposure to market risks from changes in foreign exchange rates. These foreign exchange contracts are measured at fair value using quoted forward foreign exchange prices from counterparties corroborated by market-based pricing (Level 2). Additional information related to the Company’s derivative financial instruments is disclosed in Note 1 and Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s non-recurring fair value measurements include asset retirement obligations (refer to Note 7).

The Company determines the estimated fair value of its asset retirement obligations by calculating the present value of estimated cash flows related to reclamation liabilities using Level 3 inputs. The significant inputs used to calculate such liabilities includes estimates of costs to be incurred, the Company’s credit adjusted discount rate, inflation rates and estimated dates of reclamation. The asset retirement liability is accreted to its present value each period and the capitalized asset retirement cost is depleted using the units-of-production method.

17

WESTMORELAND COAL COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONT.)

The fair value of assets and liabilities acquired through business combinations is calculated using a discounted-cash flow approach using Level 3 inputs. Cash flow estimates require forecasts and assumptions for many years into the future for a variety of factors.

12.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share has been computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders includes the adjustment for net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interest. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by including the dilutive effect of common stock that would be issued assuming conversion or exercise of outstanding convertible notes and securities, stock options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock units. No such items were included in the computations of diluted loss per share in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 because the Company incurred a net loss applicable to common shareholders in these periods and the effect of inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

The table below shows the number of shares that were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive to the calculation:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014	2013

ITEM 2 —MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects” and similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make about our expectation that our cash from operations, cash on hand and available borrowing capacity will be sufficient to meet our investing, financing, and working capital requirements for the foreseeable future, our anticipated cash spend on heritage health and pension obligations, the possibility that we may from time to time use available cash to repurchase our 10.75% Senior Notes on the open market.

Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. We therefore caution you against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are statements neither of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include political, economic, business, competitive, market, weather and regulatory conditions and the following:

• changes in our post-retirement medical benefit and pension obligations and the impact of the recently enacted healthcare legislation;

• the impact of the recently enacted healthcare legislation and its effect on our employee health benefit costs;

• our potential inability to expand or continue current coal operations due to limitations in obtaining bonding capacity for new mining permits, and/or increases in our mining costs as a result of increased bonding expenses;

• our substantial level of indebtedness, now and following the Sherritt Acquisition, and potential inability to maintain compliance with debt covenant requirements;

• the potential inability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends to us due to restrictions in our debt arrangements, reductions in planned coal deliveries or other business factors;

• the effect of Environmental Protection Agency inquiries and regulations on the operations of the power plants we provide coal to;

• the effect of prolonged maintenance or unplanned outages at our operations or those of our major power generating customers;

• future legislation and changes in regulations, governmental policies and taxes, including those aimed at reducing emissions of elements such as mercury, sulfur dioxides, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter or greenhouse gases;

• our ability to complete the Sherritt Acquisition;

• our expansion into international operations as a result of the Sherritt Acquisition which will expose us to risks relating to exchange rates and exchange controls, general economic and political conditions, costs associated with compliance with governmental regulations in multiple jurisdictions, tax-related risks and export or import requirements for, or restrictions related to, our products;

• our efforts to effectively integrate the Sherritt operations with our existing business and our ability to manage our expanded operations following the acquisition;

• our ability to realize growth opportunities and cost synergies as a result of the Sherritt Acquisition; and

• other factors that are described in “Risk Factors” in our 2013 Form 10-K and any subsequent quarterly filing on Form 10-Q.

Unless otherwise specified, the forward-looking statements in this report speak as of the filing date of this report. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time-to-time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT.)

Overview

Westmoreland Coal Company is an energy company whose operations include six surface coal mines in Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota and Texas, and two coal-fired power-generating units in North Carolina. We sold 24.9 million tons of coal in 2013 and 6.8 million tons through March 31, 2014. Our two principal operating segments are our coal and power segments. Our two non-operating segments are our heritage and corporate segments. Our heritage segment primarily includes the costs of benefits we provide to former mining operation employees and our corporate segment consists primarily of corporate administrative expenses.

We are a holding company and conduct our operations through subsidiaries. We have significant cash requirements to fund our ongoing heritage health benefit costs and corporate overhead expenses. The principal sources of cash flow to us are distributions from our principal operating subsidiaries.

Sherritt Acquisition

As we have previously announced, on December 24, 2013, we entered into an agreement to acquire the coal operations of Sherritt International Corporation, or Sherritt, which consist of its Prairie and Mountain coal mining operations. These operations include seven producing thermal coal mines in the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, a 50% interest in an activated carbon plant and a Char production facility. The purchase price of $435 million will be made up of $293 million of cash consideration and the assumption of an estimated $142 million of capital lease liabilities, subject to certain adjustments provided for in the agreement, relating to, among other things, working capital, indebtedness, pension plan funding and coal inventory. We expect this acquisition to be completed during the second quarter of 2014.

On February 7, 2014, we closed on a private offering of $425 million in aggregate principal amount of 10.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2018 at a price of 106.875% plus accrued interest from February 1, 2014, referred to as the New Notes. Total proceeds of the offering was $454.2 million, which included $29.2 million of debt premium. The net proceeds of the offering of the New Notes will finance the approximately $293 million cash portion of the purchase price, an estimated $58 million to satisfy the cash bonding obligations for the Sherritt mines and cash transaction costs associated with the acquisition and offering of New Notes of approximately $26 million. The remaining balance of the proceeds will be used to fund the prepayment of the WML Notes and for other general corporate purposes. The proceeds are being held in escrow pending the completion of the acquisition.

In connection with the acquisition, we intend to amend our existing corporate revolving credit agreement to increase the maximum available borrowing amount to approximately $60 - $70 million (which we may increase to $100 million at our discretion), with a subfacility for letters of credit in an amount of up to $60 million. The acquisition is not contingent on our increasing such available borrowing capacity and it is possible that such increase will not be implemented until after the consummation of the acquisition.

Results of Operations

Items that Affect Comparability of Our Results

For 2014, our results included items that affect comparability of our results. The expense components of these items were as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014			2013
	(In thousands)
Loss on foreign exchange	$	(6,790	)	$	—
Interest expense on New Notes	(6,144		)	—
Sherritt Acquisition bridge facility commitment fee	(4,875		)	—
Restructuring charges	(397		)	—
Impact (pre-tax)	$	(18,206	)	$	—

Items recorded in 2014

• We recorded $6.8 million of Loss on foreign exchange. In the first quarter of 2014, we entered into two foreign currency exchange forward contracts to purchase Canadian Dollars in order to hedge a portion of our exposure to fluctuating rates of exchange on anticipated Canadian Dollar-denominated Sherritt Acquisition cash flows.

WESTMORELAND COAL COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT.)

• We recorded $6.1 million of incremental interest expense related to the New Notes and is included in Interest expense.

• We recorded $4.9 million of interest expense related to the Sherritt Acquisition bridge facility. Upon closing of the $425 million private offering, our bridge facility commitment expired unexercised and as a result; the related commitment fee of $4.9 million was expensed and is included in Interest expense.

• We recorded $0.4 million of restructuring charges related to the ROVA restructuring and is included in Restructuring charges.

Nonoperating Results (including interest expense, interest income, other income, income tax expense (benefit), and net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest)

Our interest expense for the first quarter of 2014 decreased by $0.4 million compared to the first quarter of 2013 primarily due to lower debt levels, excluding $11.0 million of expenses discussed in Items that Affect Comparability of Our Results.

38

WESTMORELAND COAL COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT.)

Our interest income, other income and income tax expense (benefit) for the first quarter of 2014 were comparable to the first quarter of 2013.

Our net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest for the first quarter of 2014 was nil compared with $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2013 related to the elimination of the noncontrolling interest effective January 1, 2014.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income (Loss)

The discussion in “Results of Operations” includes references to our Adjusted EBITDA results. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of financial performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are key metrics used by us to assess our operating performance and we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because these measures:

• are used widely by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such terms, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods and book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired, among other factors; and

• help investors to more meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period by removing the effect of our capital structure and asset base from our operating results.

Neither EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA is a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. The items excluded from EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are significant in assessing our operating results. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

• do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital and major maintenance expenditures or contractual commitments;

• do not reflect income tax expenses or the cash requirements necessary to pay income taxes;

• do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and

• do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on certain of our debt obligations.

In addition, although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. Other companies in our industry and in other industries may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently from the way that we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as measures of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental data.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had the following liquidity at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

	March 31,		December 31,
	2014		2013
	(In millions)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	61.9	$	61.1
WML revolving line of credit	23.1		23.1
Corporate revolving line of credit	20.0		20.0
Total	$	105.0	$	104.2

We anticipate that our cash from operations, cash on hand and available borrowing capacity will be sufficient to meet our investing, financing, and working capital requirements for the foreseeable future.

We are a holding company and conduct our operations through subsidiaries. Our parent holding company has significant cash requirements to fund our debt obligations, ongoing heritage health benefit costs, pension contributions, and corporate overhead expenses. The principal sources of cash flow to the parent company are distributions from our principal operating subsidiaries. The cash at ROVA, Kemmerer, and WRI has no restrictions and is immediately available. The cash at WML is available to us through quarterly distributions. The WML credit agreement requires a debt service account and imposes timing and other restrictions on the ability of WML to distribute funds to us. The cash at our captive insurance entity is also available to us through dividends and is subject to maintaining a statutory minimum level of capital, which is two hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

Under the indenture governing the 10.75% Senior Notes, we are required to offer a portion of our Excess Cash Flow (as defined by the indenture) for each fiscal year to purchase some of these notes at 100% of the principal amount. In addition to any Excess Cash Flow redemption required under the indenture, the Company may continue to use available cash to repurchase these notes on the open market, as permitted by the indenture.

Debt Obligations

10.75% Senior Notes

The 10.75% Senior Notes were outstanding in the principal amount of $251.5 million at March 31, 2014. Interest is due at an annual fixed rate of 10.75% and paid in cash semi-annually, in arrears, on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The 10.75% Senior Notes mature February 1, 2018 and contain provisions that affect our sources of liquidity, such as limitations on our ability to enter into new capital leases and other forms of credit. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by ROVA, Kemmerer, WRI and their respective subsidiaries (other than Absaloka Coal, LLC) and by certain other subsidiaries.

New Notes - 10.75% Senior Notes

On February 7, 2014, we closed on a private offering of $425.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 10.75% senior secured notes due 2018 at a price of 106.875% plus accrued interest from February 1, 2014, referred to as the New Notes. Total proceeds of the offering was $454.2 million, which included $29.2 million of debt premium. The net proceeds of the offering of the New Notes will be used to finance the approximately $293 million cash portion of the purchase price of the Sherritt Acquisition, an estimated $58 million to satisfy the cash bonding obligations for the Sherritt mines and cash transaction costs associated with the acquisition and the offering of the New Notes of approximately $26 million. The remaining balance of the proceeds will be used to fund the prepayment of the WML Notes and for other general corporate purposes. Immediately prior to such prepayment, we intend to terminate the WML revolving credit facility as well. The proceeds of the offering are being held in escrow pending the completion of the acquisition. We will pay interest on the New Notes semi-annually on February 1st and August 1st of each year beginning on August 1, 2014. We capitalized debt issuance costs of $7.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Promptly following the completion of the Sherritt Acquisition, we will exchange the New Notes for $425 million aggregate principal amount of add-on 10.75% senior secured notes due 2018 (the “Add-On Notes”) and we will become party to a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which we will agree to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission the exchange of Add-On Notes for registered notes with the same terms as the existing 10.75% Senior Notes due 2018.

WESTMORELAND COAL COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT.)

If the Sherritt Acquisition is not completed on or prior to June 30, 2014, then the New Notes will be subject to a mandatory redemption at a redemption price equal to 101% of the offering price of the New Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the mandatory redemption date.

2012 Revolving Credit Agreement

Our 2012 Revolving Credit Agreement has a borrowing limit of $20.0 million and an expiration date of June 30, 2017. The revolver may support up to $10.0 million of letters of credit, which would reduce the balance available under the revolver. At March 31, 2014, availability on the revolver was $20.0 million with no outstanding balance and no supported letters of credit.

Two interest rate options exist under the revolver. The Base Rate option bears interest at the greater of a Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% or the Prime Rate, as defined in the loan agreement and is payable monthly. The LIBOR Rate option bears interest at the London Interbank Offering Rate, or LIBOR, rate plus 2.25% and is payable monthly. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.75% of the average unused portion of the available revolver is payable monthly.

The loan agreement contains various affirmative, negative and financial covenants. Financial covenants in the agreement include a fixed charge coverage ratio and an EBITDA measure. The fixed charge coverage ratio must meet or exceed a specified minimum. The EBITDA covenant requires a minimum amount of EBITDA to be achieved. We met these covenant requirements as of March 31, 2014. All extensions of credit under the revolver are collateralized by a first priority security interest in and lien upon the inventory and accounts receivable of the Parent, WRI, Kemmerer and ROVA.

In connection with the Sherritt Acquisition, we intend to amend our revolving credit agreement to increase the maximum available borrowing amount to approximately $60 - $70 million (which we may increase to $100 million at our discretion), with a subfacility for letters of credit in an amount of up to $60 million.

WML Term Debt and Revolving Credit Agreement

WML had $81.0 million of fixed rate term debt outstanding at March 31, 2014. This term debt matures March 31, 2018, and bears an annual fixed rate of 8.02%, payable quarterly. The principal on the WML notes is scheduled to be paid as follows (in millions):

2014 remaining	$	13.5
2015	20.0
2016	20.0
2017	22.0
2018	5.5

WML's revolving line of credit has a borrowing limit of $25.0 million. The interest rate under the revolving line of credit at March 31, 2014 was 3.75% per annum. At March 31, 2014, WML had no outstanding balance under the revolving line of credit and the revolving line of credit supports a letter of credit of $1.9 million, leaving it with $23.1 million of borrowing availability. WML's revolving line of credit is only available to fund the operations of its respective subsidiaries.

WML's credit agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants. Operational covenants in the agreements prohibit, among other things, WML from incurring or guaranteeing additional indebtedness, creating liens on its assets, making investments or engaging in asset sales or transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to specified exceptions. Financial covenants in the agreements impose requirements relating to specified debt service coverage and leverage ratios.

The debt service coverage ratio covenant requires that at the end of each quarter WML's ratio of EBITDA less unfinanced capital expenditures to debt service (all defined) for the four quarters then ended meets or exceeds a specified minimum. The coverage ratio as of March 31, 2014 was 2.12 and the specified minimum was 1.30. The leverage ratio covenant requires that WML not permit the ratio of total debt at the end of each quarter to EBITDA (both as defined) for the four quarters then ended to be greater than a specified amount. The leverage ratio as of March 31, 2014 was 1.02, which did not exceed the maximum amount of 1.50. WML met all of its covenant requirements as of March 31, 2014.

WML's term debt and revolving credit facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of WML and its subsidiaries (other than Texas Westmoreland Coal Co., or TWCC), our membership interests in WML, including certain dividends and other proceeds from such interests, and substantially all of the stock of WML's subsidiaries other than TWCC.

WESTMORELAND COAL COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT.)

WML’s outstanding notes and revolving credit facility are expected to be prepaid and terminated following the consummation of the Sherritt Acquisition.

Capital Leases

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we entered into $12.9 million of new capital leases at our Kemmerer Mine.

Heritage Health Costs and Pension Contributions

Our liquidity continues to be affected by payments of our heritage health and pension obligations as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,				2014 Remaining Expected Amounts
	2014		2013
	(In millions)
Postretirement medical benefits	$	2.7	$	3.1	$	11.1
CBF premiums	0.5		0.6		1.5
Workers’ compensation benefits	0.1		0.2		0.5
Total heritage health payments	$	3.3	$	3.9	$	13.1
Pension contributions	$	0.6	$	—	$	3.7

Historical Sources and Uses of Cash

The following is a summary of cash provided by or used in each of the indicated types of activities:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014			2013
	(In thousands)
Cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	29,648		$	21,216
Investing activities	(468,664		)	(5,725		)
Financing activities	439,806			(6,249		)

Cash provided by operating activities increased $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to new customer sales, fewer customer outages, and fewer planned and unplanned outages at our ROVA power plant.

Cash used in investing activities increased $462.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to the $425 million private offering related to the Sherritt Acquisition. Capital expenditures were $3.1 million and $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Cash provided by financing activities increased $446.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to the Sherritt Acquisition debt. Debt repayments were $6.2 million and $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

We had a working capital deficit of $30.5 million at March 31, 2014 compared with a working capital deficit of $8.0 million at December 31, 2013 primarily due to recording a derivative liability related to foreign currency hedges that we entered into in anticipation of the Sherritt Acquisition.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Please refer to the corresponding section in Part II, Item 7 of our 2013 Form 10-K and the footnote disclosures included in Part I, Item I of this report for a discussion of our accounting policies and estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Part I — Item 1 — Financial Statements.”

43

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, we are a party to certain off-balance sheet arrangements. These arrangements include financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk such as bank letters of credit and performance or surety bonds. We utilize surety bonds and letters of credit issued by financial institutions to third parties to assure the performance of our obligations relating to reclamation, workers’ compensation obligations, postretirement medical benefit obligations, and other obligations. These arrangements are not reflected in our consolidated balance sheets, and we do not expect any material adverse effects on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows to result from these off-balance sheet arrangements.

Our off-balance sheet arrangements are discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2013 Form 10-K.

ITEM 3 — QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Other than the changes below, there have been no material changes in our market risk during the three months ended March 31,2014. For additional information, refer to the “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Item 7A of our 2013 Form 10-K.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

The market risk inherent in our planned cash flows in foreign currencies, in particular the Canadian dollar, represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To address these risks, we enter into various derivative contracts to the extent described below. All decisions on derivative contracts are authorized and executed pursuant to our policies and procedures, which do not allow the use of financial instruments for trading purposes. We also are exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to these financial instruments. Counterparties to these agreements, however, are major international financial institutions, and we believe the risk of loss due to nonperformance is minimal.

A description of our accounting policies for derivative financial instruments is included in Notes 1 and 8 to the consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 4 — CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

As required by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, management has evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2014. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding our required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date.

Additionally, there have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 — LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

We are subject, from time-to-time, to various proceedings, lawsuits, disputes, and claims (“Actions”) arising in the ordinary course of our business. Many of these Actions raise complex factual and legal issues and are subject to uncertainties. We cannot predict with assurance the outcome of Actions brought against us. Accordingly, adverse developments, settlements, or resolutions may occur and may result in a negative impact on income in the quarter of such development, settlement, or resolution. However, we do not believe that the outcome of any current Action would have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

ITEM 1A — RISK FACTORS.

We have disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our 2013 Form 10-K, the risk factors that we believe materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed. You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth in the 2013 Form 10-K and the other information set forth elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. You should be aware that these risk factors and other information may not describe every risk facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and or operating results.

ITEM 4 —MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURE.

On July 21, 2010, Congress enacted the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the Act. Section 1503(a) of the Act contains reporting requirements regarding mine safety. Mine safety violations and other regulatory matters, as required by Section 1503(a) of the Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K, are included as Exhibit 95.1 to this report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 6 — EXHIBITS.

EXHIBIT 95.1

Uncompromised Safety

Uncompromised safety is a core value of Westmoreland Coal Company. We use a grass roots approach, encouraging and promoting involvement with input from all employees and contractors. We feel employee and contractor involvement is a pillar of our safety excellence. We stress that all employees and contractors are responsible for safety, their personal safety as well as the safety of their co-workers. We have in place comprehensive safety programs, extensive safety and skills training, regular safety audits and inspections, mine rescue training, and supervisory leadership training. Recording, reporting, and investigation protocols are in place for all accidents, incidents, losses and near misses to avoid reoccurrence and eliminate potential hazards. We couple all these measures with total vigilance in following regulatory standards, which is the backbone of our strong safety culture enjoyed by our employees, contractors, vendors, and all visiting our operations. Our mines are also regularly inspected by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) as well as by state mine inspectors. Collectively, federal and state safety and health regulations in the coal mining industry are perhaps the most comprehensive and stringent systems for the protection of employee health and safety affecting any segment of the U.S. economy.

Westmoreland mines had reportable and lost time incident rates for the year to date through the first quarter of 2014 of 0.82 and 0.82 versus the national surface mine rates of 1.67 and 1.15 respectively.

Federal Mine Safety and Health Act Information

Section 1503 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) requires issuers to include in periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) certain information relating to citations or orders for violations of standards under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the “Mine Act”).  The following disclosures respond to that legislation and are presented in accordance with the SEC's final rules promulgated under Section 1503 of the Dodd-Frank Act.

Whenever MSHA believes that a violation of the Mine Act, any health or safety standard, or any regulation has occurred, it may issue a citation that describes the violation and fixes a time within which the operator must abate the violation.  In these situations, MSHA typically proposes a civil penalty, or fine, as a result of the violation, that the operator is ordered to pay.  In evaluating the below information regarding mine safety and health, investors should take into account factors such as: (a) the number of citations and orders will vary depending on the size of a coal mine, (b) the number of citations issued will vary from inspector to inspector and mine to mine, and (c) citations and orders can be contested and appealed, and during that process are often reduced in severity and amount, and are sometimes dismissed.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include accounts of Westmoreland Coal Company, or the Company, or Parent, and its subsidiaries and controlled entities. The Company’s current principal activities, all conducted within the United States, are the production and sale of coal from its mines in Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota and Texas, and the ownership of the Roanoke Valley power plants, or ROVA, in North Carolina. The Company’s activities are primarily conducted through wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company’s Kemmerer Mine is owned by its subsidiary Westmoreland Kemmerer, Inc., or Kemmerer. The Company’s Absaloka Mine is owned by its subsidiary Westmoreland Resources, Inc., or WRI. The Beulah, Jewett, Rosebud, and Savage Mines are owned through the Company’s subsidiary Westmoreland Mining LLC, or WML.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and require use of management’s estimates. The financial information contained in this Form 10-Q is unaudited, but reflects all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the periods shown. Such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.

These quarterly consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, or the 2013 Form 10-K. The accounting principles followed by the Company are set forth in the Notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in its 2013 Form 10-K. Most of the descriptions of the accounting principles and other footnote disclosures previously made have been omitted in this report so long as the interim information presented is not misleading or inconsistent.

Sherritt Acquisition

On December 24, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the coal operations of Sherritt International Corporation, or Sherritt, which consist of its Prairie and Mountain coal mining operations, collectively referred to as the Sherritt Acquisition. These operations include seven producing thermal coal mines in the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, a 50% interest in an activated carbon plant and a Char production facility. The preliminary purchase price of $435 million will be made up of $293 million of cash consideration and the assumption of an estimated $142 million of capital lease liabilities, subject to certain adjustments provided for in the agreement, relating to, among other things, working capital, indebtedness, pension plan funding and coal inventory. Acquisition and financing costs of $18.1 million have been expensed for the three months ended March 31, 2014; which includes $6.8 million of loss on foreign exchange as described in Note 8, $6.1 million of interest expense on the New Notes as described in Note 4, $4.9 million included in Interest expense related to a bridge facility commitment fee, and $0.3 million of other expensesincluded in Selling and administrative costs. The Company expects this acquisition to be completed during the second quarter of 2014.

Debt Obligations

The Company is subject to three major debt arrangements: (1) $81.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes at WML that are collateralized by all assets of WML, Westmoreland Savage Corporation, or WSC, Western Energy Company, or WECO, and Dakota Westmoreland Corporation, or DWC; and (2) $251.5 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes at the Parent level that are collateralized by the assets of the Parent, WRI, Kemmerer and ROVA; and (3) $425.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 10.75% senior secured notes, referred to as the New Notes, which are also collateralized by the assets of the Parent, WRI, Kemmerer and ROVA. The proceeds from the New Notes will be used primarily to pay the purchase price and related expenses for the Sherritt Acquisition, to prepay the outstanding senior secured notes issued of WML debt, and for working capital. The proceeds are being held in escrow pending the completion of the Sherritt Acquisition. See Note 4 for additional details.

Business Interruption Insurance

The Company received business interruption insurance proceeds for the three months ended March 31, 2014 due to an explosion and subsequent fire at a customer’s facility that occurred in November 2011. Operations at that facility resumed during October 2013. The Company recognizes income as business interruption losses are incurred and reimbursement is virtually assured. The Company reports this income in Other operating income and recognized nil and $4.8 million of income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company received $4.6 million of cash proceeds for the three months ended March 31, 2014 related to income recorded in 2013. Insurance proceeds are included in Net cash provided by operating activities. As of March 31, 2014, the Company has collected all cash proceeds related to income recognized.

Derivatives

The Company utilized foreign exchange derivatives to manage exposure to fluctuations in the exchange rates of the Canadian dollar regarding the Sherritt acquisition. The Company does not utilize derivative financial instruments for trading purposes or for speculative purposes. The Company's derivative instruments are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in Other current assets and Other current liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of operations at the end of each period in Loss on foreign exchange.

Income Taxes

The difference between the statutory income tax rate and the effective income tax rate is due to a change in the valuation allowance recorded against the net deferred tax assets.

Restructuring Charges

In 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with Dominion Virginia Power, a subsidiary of Dominion, to restructure the remaining five years of the ROVA I and ROVA II contracts. During the first quarter of 2014, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $0.4 million for additional contractual obligations. The Company expects that the $5.1 million of accruals will be paid out in the second quarter of 2014.

The table below represents the restructuring provision activity during the three months ended March 31, 2014 (in millions):

Beginning Balance		Restructuring Charges		Restructuring Payments		Ending Balance

On February 7, 2014, the Company closed on a private offering of $425.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 10.75% senior notes due 2018 at a price of 106.875% plus accrued interest from February 1, 2014, referred to as the New Notes. Total proceeds of the offering was $454.2 million, which included $29.2 million of debt premium. The net proceeds of the offering of the New Notes will be used to finance the approximately $293 million cash portion of the purchase price of the Sherritt Acquisition, an estimated $58 million to satisfy the cash bonding obligations for the Sherritt mines and cash transaction costs associated with the acquisition and offering of the New Notes of approximately $26 million. The remaining balance of the proceeds will be used to fund the prepayment of the WML Notes and for other general corporate purposes. The proceeds of the offering are being held in escrow pending the completion of the acquisition. The Company will pay interest on the New Notes semi-annually on February 1st and August 1st of each year beginning on August 1, 2014. The Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $7.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Promptly following the completion of the Sherritt Acquisition, the Company will exchange the New Notes for $425 million aggregate principal amount of add-on 10.75% senior secured notes due 2018 (the “Add-On Notes”) and the Company will become party to a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which the Company will agree to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission the exchange of Add-On Notes for registered notes with the same terms as the existing 10.75% Senior Notes due 2018.

If the Sherritt Acquisition is not completed on or prior to June 30, 2014, then the New Notes will be subject to a mandatory redemption at a redemption price equal to 101% of the offering price of the New Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest through the mandatory redemption date.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we entered into $12.9 million of new capital leases at our Kemmerer Mine.

Additional information regarding the Company's debt is outlined in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

EARNINGS PER SHARE

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share has been computed by dividing the net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders includes the adjustment for net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interest. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by including the dilutive effect of common stock that would be issued assuming conversion or exercise of outstanding convertible notes and securities, stock options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock units. No such items were included in the computations of diluted loss per share in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 because the Company incurred a net loss applicable to common shareholders in these periods and the effect of inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

The table below shows the number of shares that were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive to the calculation:

The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives, derivatives that qualify for the normal purchase normal sale exception, or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. All derivative financial instruments, except for derivatives that qualify for the normal purchase normal sale exception, are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings if they are not eligible for hedge accounting or in other comprehensive income if they qualify for cash flow hedge accounting.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. See Notes 3, 7 and 8 for additional disclosures related to fair value measurements.

Fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy, as defined below, gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

• Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

• Level 2, 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.

• Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

Long-term debt fair value estimates are based on observed prices for securities with an active trading market when available (Level 2) and otherwise using discount rate estimates based on interest rates as of March 31, 2014 (Level 3). The estimated fair values of the Company’s debt with fixed interest rates are as follows:

	Carrying Value		Fair Value
	(In thousands)
December 31, 2013	$	328,473	$	364,329
March 31, 2014	$	777,670	$	823,603

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, primarily foreign exchange contracts, to reduce its exposure to market risks from changes in foreign exchange rates. These foreign exchange contracts are measured at fair value using quoted forward foreign exchange prices from counterparties corroborated by market-based pricing (Level 2). Additional information related to the Company’s derivative financial instruments is disclosed in Note 1 and Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s non-recurring fair value measurements include asset retirement obligations (refer to Note 7).

The Company determines the estimated fair value of its asset retirement obligations by calculating the present value of estimated cash flows related to reclamation liabilities using Level 3 inputs. The significant inputs used to calculate such liabilities includes estimates of costs to be incurred, the Company’s credit adjusted discount rate, inflation rates and estimated dates of reclamation. The asset retirement liability is accreted to its present value each period and the capitalized asset retirement cost is depleted using the units-of-production method.

The fair value of assets and liabilities acquired through business combinations is calculated using a discounted-cash flow approach using Level 3 inputs. Cash flow estimates require forecasts and assumptions for many years into the future for a variety of factors.

For all of its restricted investments and bond collateral accounts, the Company can select from limited fixed-income investment options for the funds and receive the investment returns on these investments. Funds in the restricted investments and bond collateral accounts are not available to meet the Company’s general cash needs. Net proceeds from the New Notes (see Note 4) are held in escrow pending the completion of the Sherritt Acquisition and are held entirely in cash. Other requirements for the Sherritt Acquisition include cash required to be deposited in a restricted account for interest accrued as of March 31, 2014 for the New Notes and other fees expected to be paid in connection with the Sherritt Acquisition.

These accounts include held-to-maturity securities. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts calculated on the effective interest method. Interest income is recognized when earned.

The Company’s carrying value and estimated fair value of its restricted investments and bond collateral at March 31, 2014 are as follows:

	Carrying Value		Fair Value
	(In thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	503,391	$	503,391

Held-to-Maturity Restricted Investments and Bond Collateral

The amortized cost, gross unrealized holding gains and fair value of held-to-maturity securities at March 31, 2014 is as follows (in thousands):

Amortized cost	$	34,548
Gross unrealized holding gains	440
Gross unrealized holding losses	(281		)
Fair value	$	34,707

Maturities of held-to-maturity securities are as follows at March 31, 2014:

	Amortized Cost		Fair Value
	(In thousands)
Due within one year	$	1,193	$	1,217

Due after five years to ten years	6,718		6,717
Due in more than ten years	7,098		7,021
	$	34,548	$	34,707

The Company does not intend to sell its held-to-maturity securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery of amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity.

As of February 2014, the Company is no longer required to fund a letter of credit account for its power operations.
