2.2 Acquisition Transaction

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing and following the Pre-Closing Reorganization, the Sellers and the Buyer shall engage in the completion of an acquisition transaction pursuant to which the Sellers shall sell, assign, transfer and deliver to the Buyer, and the Buyer shall acquire from the Sellers, the Acquired Company Membership Interests, free and clear of all Encumbrances.

2.3 Transaction Consideration

2.4 Allocation of Transaction Consideration

The Transaction Consideration shall be allocated among the AT Assets in accordance with the values mutually agreed to by the Buyer and the Sellers in writing at or prior to the Closing.

2.5 Working Capital Adjustment

(a) Schedule 2.5(a) sets forth the consolidated balance sheet of the Phoenix Reorganization Entities as of June 30, 2009 reflecting the AT Assets and the AT Liabilities and prepared in accordance with GAAP (U.S.) (the “June 30 Balance Sheet”), and (ii) a written estimate of the Working Capital as of June 30, 2009 based on the June 30 Balance Sheet (the “June 30 Working Capital”).

(b) At least five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers shall deliver to the Buyer (i) an estimated consolidated balance sheet of the Acquired Phoenix Entities immediately following the Closing prepared in accordance with GAAP (U.S.) (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”), and (ii) a written estimate of the Working Capital immediately following the Closing based on the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet (the “Estimated Working Capital”). The Estimated Working Capital shall be determined in a manner consistent with the calculation of the June 30 Working Capital and in accordance with GAAP (U.S.). With respect to the Estimated Working Capital, the parties agree that:

(i) If the Estimated Working Capital is less than the Benchmark Working Capital, then at the Closing the Sellers shall pay to the Buyer the amount by which the Benchmark Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Working Capital, via certified check or wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(ii) If the Estimated Working Capital is greater than the Benchmark Working Capital, then at the Closing the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers the amount by which the Estimated Working Capital exceeds the Benchmark Working Capital, via certified check or wire transfer of immediately available funds (any adjustment pursuant to subsection (i) or (ii) above being the “Estimated Working Capital Adjustment”).

(c) Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers a statement (the “Actual Working Capital Statement”) of the Buyer’s determination of the actual Working Capital immediately following the Closing, provided that the accounts receivable included in the AT Current Assets shall for this purpose be limited to the accounts receivable included in the AT Current Assets which are received by the Buyer within the period of sixty (60) days after the Closing Date (the “Actual Working Capital”). The Actual Working Capital shall be determined in a manner consistent with the calculation of the Estimated Working Capital and in accordance with GAAP (U.S.). Following the determination of the Actual Working Capital under this Section 2.5(b), the parties hereby agree that:

(i) If the Actual Working Capital is less than the Estimated Working Capital, then the Sellers shall pay to the Buyer the amount by which the Estimated Working Capital exceeds the Actual Working Capital; and

(ii) If the Actual Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Working Capital, then the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers the amount by which the Actual Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Working Capital (any adjustment pursuant to subsection (i) or (ii) above being the “Final Working Capital Adjustment”).

(d) The Sellers may, within fifteen (15) days after receiving notice of the Actual Working Capital Statement, deliver a notice to the Buyer objecting to the Final Working Capital Adjustment (the “Adjustment Objection”). The Adjustment Objection shall set forth the Buyer’s calculation of the Final Working Capital Adjustment and shall specify those items or amounts to which the Sellers disagree. The Sellers shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Actual Working Capital Statement and the calculation of the Final Working Capital Adjustment. A failure on the part of the Sellers to provide timely notice shall be deemed an acceptance of the Final Working Capital Adjustment by the Sellers and the Buyer.

(e) The parties shall resolve the Adjustment Objection (if any) in the following manner:

(i) For a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of the Adjustment Objection (the “Negotiation Period”), the parties shall attempt to negotiate the amount of the Final Working Capital Adjustment in good faith.

(ii) If the Adjustment Objection is not resolved during the Negotiation Period, the Final Working Capital Adjustment shall be determined according to the following terms:

(A) The Buyer and the Sellers shall attempt to agree upon a neutral and impartial certified public accounting firm to be retained as the accounting referee to resolve the Adjustment Objection (the “Accounting Referee”). If the Buyer and the Sellers are unable to agree upon the Accounting Referee within ten (10) days following the end of the Negotiation Period, then the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, shall submit in writing to each other a list of three names of neutral and impartial certified public accounting firms within twelve (12) days following the end of the Negotiation Period. The first name that matches on both lists shall be retained as the Accounting Referee. If there are no matches on the lists, the parties shall submit new lists of three names within one (1) business day, and this process shall continue until an Accounting Referee is selected.

(B) The Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, shall submit the Actual Working Capital Statement, the Adjustment Objection and the Buyer’s response to the Adjustment Objection to the Accounting Referee within five (5) days following the appointment of the Accounting Referee. In making the calculation of the Actual Working Capital, the Accounting Referee shall consider only those items or amounts in the Actual Working Capital Statement and the Buyer’s calculation of Actual Working Capital to which the Sellers have disagreed in the Adjustment Objection and the Buyer’s response to the Adjustment Objection.

(C) The Accounting Referee shall deliver to the Buyer and the Sellers, as promptly as practicable (but in any case no later than thirty (30) days from the date of engagement of the Accounting Referee), a report setting forth the calculation of the Actual Working Capital. Such report shall be final and binding upon the Buyer and the Sellers and shall be used to calculate the Final Working Capital Adjustment.

(D) The fees and costs of the Accounting Referee shall be borne equally by the Buyer and the Sellers.

(f) The Sellers, on the one hand, or the Buyer, on the other hand, shall pay the Final Working Capital Adjustment to the Buyer or the Sellers, respectively, within ten (10) days of the final determination thereof by agreement or the calculation of the Accounting Referee. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, the Final Working Capital Adjustment shall be paid via certified check or wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(g) Any accounts receivable included in the AT Current Assets which are not counted in the determination of the Actual Working Capital pursuant to Section 2.5(b) because they are not received within sixty (60) days after the Closing shall if and as collected by the Buyer (including the Acquired Phoenix Entities) be for the account of the Sellers and paid over to the Sellers within thirty (30) days after the end of the calendar month in which they are received.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Sellers (and their Related Persons) may make, and may permit, disclosure of such information (I) in response to any judicial or administrative proceedings (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigation demand or similar process), (II) if requested by a Governmental Body or (III) to avoid violating any applicable securities laws; provided that the Sellers shall, to the extent practicable, promptly notify the Buyer thereof and

cooperate with the Buyer at the Buyer’s reasonable request and cost if the Buyer should seek to obtain an Order that confidential treatment will be accorded to such information.

(d) The Sellers acknowledge that all of the restrictions in this Section 6.7 are reasonable in all respects, including duration, geographical limitation and scope of activity restricted. The Sellers agree that each of the covenants contained in this Section 6.7 shall be construed as separate agreements independent of any other provision of this Agreement or of any other agreement between the Sellers and the Buyer or any other Person. The Sellers agree that the existence of any claim or cause of action by any of the Sellers against the Buyer or any other entity, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of the covenants and restrictions contained in this Section 6.7. The Sellers acknowledge that an actual Breach, or Threatened Breach, by any of the Sellers of the provisions of this Section 6.7 shall cause irreparable harm to the Buyer, which harm cannot be fully redressed by the payment of damages to the Buyer. Accordingly, the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to any other right or remedy it may have at law or in equity, to an injunction enjoining or restraining any of the Sellers (and their Related Persons) from any Breach or Threatened Breach of the provisions of this Section 6.7. The Sellers hereby waive the defense in any equitable proceeding that there is an adequate remedy at law for any such actual or Threatened Breach. Moreover, in the event of a Breach by any of the Sellers of any covenant of this Section 6.7, the term of such covenant shall be extended by the period of the duration of such Breach.

(e) The Sellers shall at or before the Closing cause each of the Key Phoenix Entities Persons to execute Restrictive Covenants Agreement (the “Restrictive Covenants Agreements”) with the Buyer pursuant to which the Key Phoenix Entities Persons are bound by the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 6.7.

6.8 Employee Matters

The Sellers hereby agree to cooperate with the Buyer and use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the APE Employees referred to in Section 9.8 to be employed by the Acquired Phoenix Entities as of the Closing. The matters described in this Section 6.8 for cooperation between the Sellers and the Buyer are hereinafter referred to as the “Employee Matters.”

6.9 Liabilities of Phoenix Group Entities

Excluding only the AT Liabilities, the Sellers shall be responsible for and shall satisfy all of the obligations, indebtedness, causes of action and other liabilities of any kind of or against any of the Phoenix Group Entities including the assumption of the defense thereof, whether contingent, accrued or matured, known or unknown. Without limitation as to the foregoing, the Sellers acknowledge and agree that they are responsible for and shall pay all liabilities constituting fines and penalties hereafter levied for violations listed or required to be listed on Schedule 4.15.

6.10 APE Financial Statements

The Sellers agree to provide to the Buyer, prior to the Closing, estimated APE Financial Statements for the period consisting of the portion of calendar year 2009 ended on the Closing Date,

which shall be adjusted by the Sellers as necessary and finalized within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date to provide the Buyer with accurate APE Financial Statements.

6.11 Rose France Reserves

The Sellers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Buyer (or any Acquired Phoenix Entity or any of their respective Affiliates as designated by the Buyer) in obtaining one or more lease agreements, which contains terms and conditions customary in the area where the Rose France Reserves are located and which is in form and substance acceptable to the applicable lessor and reasonably acceptable to the Buyer (with respect to the Rose France Surface Leasehold as defined below, the Buyer acknowledges that a royalty to the lessor of 4% is acceptable) (an “Acceptable RFR Lease”), granting to the Buyer (or any Acquired Phoenix Entity or any of their respective Affiliates as designated by the Buyer) a leasehold interest in (a) all of the surface property overlying the Rose France Reserves (the “Rose France Surface Leasehold ”) and (b) the Rose France Reserves themselves (the “Rose France Mineral Leasehold”). In the event the Sellers present the Buyer with an Acceptable RFR Lease with respect to the Rose France Surface Leasehold on or prior to December 31, 2009 (the “RFR Surface Leasehold Condition”), 50% of the RFR Fee shall be earned and paid into the escrow under the Escrow Agreement as provided in Section 2.3(d); in the event the Sellers do not satisfy the RFR Surface Leasehold Condition, said 50% of the RFR Fee shall be forfeited by the Sellers and shall not at any time be deposited into such escrow or otherwise credited or paid to or for the benefit of the Sellers. In the event the Sellers present the Buyer with an Acceptable RFR Lease with respect to the Rose France Mineral Leasehold on or prior to June 30, 2010 (the “RFR Mineral Leasehold Condition,” and collectively with the RFR Surface Leasehold Condition, the “RFR Conditions”), the other 50% of the RFR Fee shall be earned and paid into the escrow under the Escrow Agreement as provided in Section 2.3(d); in the event the Sellers do not satisfy the RFR Mineral Leasehold Condition, said 50% of the RFR Fee shall be forfeited by the Sellers and shall not at any time be deposited into such escrow or otherwise credited or paid to or for the benefit of the Sellers. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Sellers fail to accomplish timely either of the RFR Conditions as set forth in the immediately preceding two sentences, then there will be no RFR Fee and thus there would then be no RFR Fee amount to be deposited by the Buyer with the Escrow Agent in the escrow being maintained pursuant to the Escrow Agreement as provided in Section 2.3(d).

7. COVENANTS OF BUYER

7.1 Required Approvals of Governmental Bodies

The Buyer acknowledges that the “transfer” of any AT Governmental Authorizations, whether by reason of an actual transfer from a Phoenix Reorganization Entity to another Phoenix Reorganization Entity that is an Acquired Phoenix Entity or a change in control of any Acquired Phoenix Entity holding any AT Governmental Authorizations, shall in each case require filings to be made with, and approvals of, certain Governmental Bodies. The Buyer shall, and shall cause each of its Related Persons to, prepare all filings required by Legal Requirements to be made by them to consummate the Acquisition Transaction, including without limitation documentation to transfer the Governmental Authorizations. The Buyer shall, and shall cause each of its Related Persons to, cooperate with the Sellers with respect to all filings that the Sellers and/or one or more of their Related Persons are required by Legal Requirements to make in connection with the

7.4 Employee Matters

The Buyer hereby agrees to cooperate with the Sellers with respect to the Employee Matters. Further, the Buyer hereby agrees (a) to hire or cause the Acquired Phoenix Entities to hire a sufficient number of the APE Employees so that as of the Closing the Acquisition Transaction will not result in a “mass layoff” or “plant closing” under the Workers Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (the “WARN Act”) and (b) to be responsible for any action by the Buyer or the Acquired Phoenix Entities after the Closing with respect to the APE Employees who are employed by the Acquired Phoenix Entities as of the Closing that results in a “mass layoff” or “plant closing” under the WARN Act.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Sellers shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and its Related Persons against and from any and all liability for any Taxes of the Remaining Phoenix Entities as a result of the Acquisition Transaction or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, no indemnification payment under this Section 8.3(a) shall be subject to the limitations on indemnity contained in Article 12.

(b) The Sellers shall remain responsible to prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed and pay all Taxes due with respect to all Tax Returns for the Acquired Phoenix Entities which are filed on or after the Closing Date with respect to a taxable period ending prior to or on the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Tax Period”). Upon the request of the Sellers and if and as required by law, the Buyer shall, and shall cause the Acquired Phoenix Entities to, timely sign and file each such Tax Return prepared by the Sellers and delivered to the Buyer, unless any such Tax Return is manifestly inconsistent with law. The Buyer covenants not to amend any Tax Returns of the Acquired Phoenix Entities for the Pre-Closing Tax Period without the prior written consent of the Sellers, and the Buyer agrees that the Sellers shall have the right to amend any such Tax Returns if such amendment would not have an adverse effect on the Buyer or the Acquired Phoenix Entities in a Post-Closing Tax Period (as defined below), and that, upon the request of the Sellers and if and as required by law, the Buyer shall sign and file, or cause the Acquired Phoenix Entities to sign and file, as applicable, all such amended Tax Returns.

(c) The Sellers shall also remain responsible to prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed and pay all Taxes due with respect to all Tax Returns for the Remaining Phoenix Entities which are filed on or after the Closing Date, whether or not any such Tax Return is with respect to a taxable period ending prior to, on or after the Closing Date.

(d) The Buyer shall be liable for and indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Sellers and their Related Persons from and against any and all Taxes imposed on or with respect to the Acquired Phoenix Entities or their respective operations, ownership, assets or activities for any Post-Closing Tax Period.

(e) The Buyer shall cause the Acquired Phoenix Entities to promptly remit to the Sellers any refund of Taxes of the Acquired Phoenix Entities with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (including without limitation, if received by the Acquired Phoenix Entities, expected refunds of $319,000 for Charolais Mining Company, LLC, $73,000 for R&L Winn, Inc. and $108,000 for C&R Coal, Inc. and Renfro Equipment Inc.), except to the extent that (i) such refund

is attributable to actions not in the Ordinary Course of Business taken by the Buyer or the Acquired Phoenix Entities on or after the Closing Date, or (ii) such refund is attributable to the carryback of a Tax attribute (including without limitation a net operating loss, net capital loss, or research and development credit) arising in a period other than a Pre-Closing Tax Period (a “Post-Closing Tax Period”), and the carryback of such Tax attribute does not reduce the amount of any refund that would otherwise be received by the Sellers. All other refunds of Taxes of the Acquired Phoenix Entities shall be for the account of the Acquired Phoenix Entities.

(f) If the Sellers pay a Tax for a Pre-Closing Tax Period as a result of an adjustment by a Governmental Body of a Tax Return for such period, and any Acquired Phoenix Entity realizes a Tax benefit (including without limitation a refund, credit, or reduction in Tax) in a Post- Closing Tax Period as a result of such adjustment, the Buyer shall cause the applicable Acquired Phoenix Entity to pay the amount of such Tax benefit to the Sellers within thirty (30) days after the filing of a Tax Return reflecting such Tax benefit.

(g) The Buyer and the Sellers will cooperate fully, and the Buyer will cause the Acquired Phoenix Entities to cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any such party, in connection with any Tax matters relating to the Acquired Phoenix Entities (including by the provision of reasonably relevant records or information).

8.4 Consideration of Alternative to Escrow

The Sellers and the Buyer agree to consider prior to and for implementation at the Closing an alternative to the escrow under the Escrow Agreement which would allow the Buyer to retain the funds which would otherwise be in such escrow with those funds being administered and released in a manner which is the same as or similar to the manner in which such administration and release would be handled utilizing such escrow. However, neither the Sellers nor the Buyer are obligated to accept such alternative and forego such escrow, a determination as to which shall be in the sole discretion of each of the Sellers and the Buyer.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 12.6 to the contrary, in no event shall the limitations set forth in this Section 12.6 apply (a) in the event of fraud, willful misconduct or bad faith by the Buyer, (b) with respect to any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation pursuant to Section 5.1 (Organization and Good Standing), Section 5.2(a) (Authority) or Section 5.4 (No Brokers or Finders) or (c) with respect to Section 12.3(b), Section 12.3(c) or Section 8.3(d).

12.7 Excluded Damages

For purposes of determining the amount of any Damages under this Article 12, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement including without limitation the definition of Damages, such amount shall exclude any and all Damages which are consequential, indirect, incidental, lost profits or revenues, cost of capital, loss of business reputation or opportunity, or special and punitive damages, except as and to the extent any such Damages were actually awarded, paid or incurred in a third party Claim.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Sellers shall have no liability for Damages with respect to any Claim to the extent any Buyer Indemnified Person or any Acquired Phoenix Entity, and the Buyer shall have no liability for Damages with respect to any Claim to the extent any Sellers Indemnified Person or any Remaining Phoenix Entity, (a) receives or is entitled to receive any insurance proceeds relating to such Claim, (b) receives or is entitled to receive payment or indemnification from any third party respecting the matter covered by such Claim, or (c) receives or is entitled to receive any Tax benefit in respect of the subject matter of such Claim.

12.8 Procedure for Indemnification — Third Party Claims

(a) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 12.2 or Section 12.3 of notice of the commencement of any Proceeding against it, such indemnified party shall, if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party under either such Section, give notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such Claim, but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party except to the extent that the indemnifying party demonstrates that the defense of such action is prejudiced by the indemnified party’s failure to give such notice.

(b) If any Proceeding referred to in Section 12.8(a) is brought against an indemnified party and it gives notice to the indemnifying party of the commencement of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and, to the extent that he or it wishes (unless (i) the indemnifying party is also a party to such Proceeding and the indemnified party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate or (ii) the indemnifying party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the indemnified party of its financial capacity to defend such Proceeding and provide indemnification with respect to such Proceeding), to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party shall not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the indemnified party under this Article 12 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Proceeding, in each case subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense of such Proceeding, other than reasonable costs of investigation. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Proceeding, (I) it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that the Claims made in that Proceeding are within the scope of and subject to indemnification, (II) no compromise or settlement of such Claims may be effected by the indemnifying party without the indemnified party’s consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other Claims that may be made against the indemnified party and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary Damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party, and (III) the indemnified party will have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent. If notice is given to an indemnifying party of the commencement of any Proceeding and the indemnifying party does not, within ten days after the indemnified party’s notice is given, give notice to the indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will be bound by any determination made in such Proceeding or any compromise or settlement effected by the indemnified party.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an indemnified party determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Proceeding may adversely affect it or its Related Persons other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnified party may, by notice to the indemnifying party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Proceeding, but the indemnifying party shall not be bound by any determination of a Proceeding so defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld).

(d) The parties hereby consent to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a Proceeding is brought against any indemnified party for purposes of any Claim that such indemnified party may have under this Agreement with respect to such Proceeding or the matters alleged therein, and agree that process may be served on them with respect to such a Claim anywhere in the world.

12.9 Procedure for Indemnification — Other Claims

A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third party Claim may be asserted by notice to the indemnifying party from whom indemnification is sought.

12.10 Recovery of Indemnification Amounts

Any indemnified party shall have the right to seek to recover and obtain recovery of any indemnification amounts owed to it hereunder in any lawful way and through any lawful means. In this regard, the Buyer Indemnified Persons shall have the right to obtain recovery of any indemnification amounts owed to them hereunder from the amounts held in escrow under the Escrow Agreement. Further, in this regard, the Buyer and the Sellers shall have the right to offset and credit against any amounts payable by the Buyer to the Sellers (including without limitation any portion of the RFR Fee) or the Sellers to the Buyer, respectively, after the Closing under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, and pay to the Buyer Indemnified Persons or the Sellers Indemnified Persons, respectively, any indemnification amounts owed by the Sellers to the Buyer Indemnified Persons or the Buyer to the Sellers Indemnified Persons, respectively, hereunder.

12.11 Exclusive Remedy

The sole and exclusive recourse of the parties and their Related Persons against each other for any Claims or Damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents (including any Claims or causes of action arising from or under any statute or the common law) shall be expressly limited to this Article 12. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section 12.11 shall not apply in the case of fraud, willful breach, willful misconduct or bad faith.

The Schedules that relate to representations and warranties must relate only to the representations and warranties in the Section of this Agreement to which they expressly relate and not to any other representation or warranty in this Agreement.

15. Reaffirmation. The parties hereto do hereby ratify and affirm all of the terms and provisions of the Amended Acquisition Agreement and such terms, as amended by this Amendment, shall remain in full force and effect.

PHOENIX COAL CORPORATION & AFFILIATES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2006 NOTE A-NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Qperatlona: Phoenix is headquartered in Madisorwille, Kentucky with satellite offices in Champaign, Hinds and Louisville, Kentucky. The Company is engaged in the production and sale of steam coal to utilities and Industrial fuel consumers. Formed in July 2004 as a Delaware C corporation, the Company was originally named Dynamic Separations, Inc. (“DSP). Principles of Combination: The Consolidated Company’s consolidated financial statements include Phoenix Coal Corporation and its affiliates, Schoate Mining Company, LLC, Crittanden County Coal, Inc. and R & L Winn, Inc. and Old Liberty Equipment Company and Evergreen Mineral Company, inc. AJ significant intercompany transactions have been elimfoated. Use of Estimates: The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generaly accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liaMWea and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consoOdated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during Ihe reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and Equivalents: For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all cash accounts that are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties to be cash or cash equivalents. Accounts Receivable: Trade accounts receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Customers are primarily Investment grade companies and quasi-governmental agencies. As a result, we have not experienced any instances of non-payment and do not currently maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts. Management monitors customers closely and will record an allowance if trade account balances become potentially uncoltectfble. Inventory: Inventory Is maintained on a perpetual basis. The Company uses an average cost per ton ranging from $21.85 to $25.22 on a “clean” coal basis. The Company accounts for parts inventory using the original cost on a first-in-first-out basis. Parts Inventory Is Included In other current assets. Property and Equipment: Purchased property and equipment are stated at cost. The Company provides for depreciation of the purchased depreciable assets on the straight-line basis with useful lives that range from 5 to 10 years. Depredation expense was $602,723 for the year ended December 31,2008. The cost of assets sold, retired or otherwise disposed of and the related allowance for depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gafei or loss is included in operations. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Interest cost fs capitalized for qualifying assets during the period In which the asset Is being installed and prepared for its Intended use. Capitalized interest cost is amortized on the same basis as the related depredation. Interest costs capitalized were $48,082 in 2006. Consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS> No 144, Accounting for We Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company evaluates long-lived assets for Impairment and assesses their recoverabilfty based upon anticipated future cash flows. If facts ami circumstances lead the Company’s management to believe that the cost of one of Its assets may be Impaired, the Company will reduce the carrying amount to fair value to the extent necessary.

PHOENIX COAL CORPORATION & AFFILIATES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31,2006 NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -CONTINUED Deferred Mine Coats: Deferred mine costs represent the costs incurred to prepare future mine sites for mining and are amortized over the Ufa of the mine sila Deferred mine expense for the year ended December 31,2008 was $471,825. Asset Retirement Costa: The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” which addresses accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. For the Company, asset retirement obligation expense represents the systematic accretion and depredation of future mine reclamation costs, which Includes the costs to reclaim the land disturbed during the mining process and the removal of mine facilities, equipment, transportation and other support facilities. Asset retirement obligation expense is the depreciation of future mine reclamation costs as described above. Goodwin and Other Intangible Assets: Goodwill Is tested at least annually for Impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 142, GoodwW and Other Intangible Assets. Intangible assets are amortized over their respective useful fives on a straighWIne baslB. Deferred Financing. Fees: Deferred financing fees are amortized to interest expense over the life of the related loan. Unamorflzed deferred financing fees were $462,787 at December 31,2008. Prepaid Royalties Rights to leased coal lands are often acquired through royalty payments. Where royalty payments represent prepayments recoupable against production, they are recorded as a prepaid asset, and amounts expected to be recouped within one year are classified as a current asset. As mining occurs on these leases, the prepayment is charged to cost of coal sales. Revenue Recognition: Under SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition, we recognize revenue when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2} delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (3} the seller’s price to the buyer Is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectibiHty Is reasonably assured. In the case of coal we mine and sell, we negotiate a specific sales contract with each customer, which Includes a fixed-price per ton, a delivery schedule, and terms for payment Royalty Expense: The coat that the Company mines belongs to other entitles. The Company acquires the right to mine and sell the coal through various leases. These leases require the Company to pay a royalty to the owners of the land and the minerals being mined. Royalty expense for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $1,579,355. income Taxes: Deferred Income taxes are provided for temporary differences arising from differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities existing at each balance sheet date using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the related taxes are expected to oe paid or recovered.

Prior to the adoption of Statement No. 123R, the Company accounted for its stock options under the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB 25 and related interpretations bs permitted by Statement No. 123.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SEAS No. 157 — Fair Value Measurements—which enhances existing guidance for measuring assent and liabilities using tair value and requires additional disclosure about die use of fair value for measurement. The Stair ment is effective for financial statements Issued for fiscal yean beginning after November IS, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has not yet evaluated the impact of SEAS No. 157.

The Company hat not early adopted SFAS 159 and does not expect the adoption of SFAS 159 to materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In December 2007, the EASE issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, NoncontsvUing Interests in Consolidated Ftnanciai Statements, an amendment ofARB No. SI (“Statement No. 160”).

PHOENIX COAL INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31,2008 and 2007 NOTE A — NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Operations: The Company is engaged in the production and sale of steam coal to utilities and industrial fuel consumers. The Company’s mining activities are currently limited to one importable business segment, which is the Illinois Basin. On June 27,2008, Phoenix Coal Corporation (“Phoenix”) completed a reverse takeover (“RTO”) of Phoenix Coal Inc. (the “Company”), formerly Marimba Capital Corp. (“MCC”), which was previously listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (note C). MCC was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) on February 8, 2007 and was classified as a Capital Pool Company as defined in the TSX Venture Exchange Policy 2.4 and, accordingly, had no assets other than cash and no commercial operations. MCC changed its name to Phoenix Coal Inc. on June 25, 2008. Phoenix, a U.S. company headquartered in Madisonville, Kentucky with satellite offices in Champaign, Illinois and Louisville, Kentucky, was formed in Jury 2004 as a Delaware C corporation and was originally named Dynamic Separations, Inc. (“DSI”). Where the context requires, in respect to transactions prior to the RTO, die “Company” also refers to Phoenix. Principles of Consolidation: Pursuant to the RTO transaction, these consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 reflect the assets, liabilities and results of operations of Phoenix prior to the RTO and the consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Company and Phoenix subsequent to the RTO. Tub consolidated financial statements are issued under the name of the legal parent (file Company), but are deemed to be a continuation of the legal subsidiary (Phoenix). The consolidated financial statements include Phoenix Coal Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. Basis of Presentation: The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAF”). All monetary references expressed in these notes are references to United States dollars, except occasional references to Canadian dollar amounts, where the dollar amount is preceded by Cdn (“Cdn$”). Use of Estimates: The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The assets and liabilities which require management to nuke significant estimates and assumptions in determining carrying values include, but are not limited to, coal inventories, property, plant and equipment, mining rights, mine development, mineral reserves, prepaid royalties, provision for income taxes, and asset retirement obligations. Reverse takeover accounting: The RTO was completed on June 27, 2008. Prior to the complerloo of the RTO, MCC affected a reverse split of its outstanding common shares on the basis of 1 new share for each Z35 shares outstanding. Pursuant to the RTO, the Company issued one common share for each outstanding common share of Phoenix. In addition, warrants and options to purchase Phoenix common shares outstanding Immediately prior to the RTO were replaced with warrants and options to purchase an equivalent number of common shares of ate Company, on economically equivalent terms and conditions. The capital changes of the Company related to the RTO are detailed in note C to these consolidated financial statements. ‘ Concurrent with the RTO, the Company raised 597,784,678, net of Issuance costs, In a prospectus offering of 62,837,160 subscription receipts priced at CdnS 1.75. In connection with the RTO, each subscription receipt was exchanged for one unit, each unit consisting of one common share and one half common share purchase warrant exercisable until June 25, 2010 at CdnS2.25 per share. The acquisition of the shares of Phoenix has been accounted for as an RTO transaction in accordance with guidance provided in Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants* (“OCA”) Emerging Issues Committee (“EIC) Abstract No. 10. As MCC did not qualify as a business for accounting purposes, the transaction has been accounted for as a capital transaction of Phoenix. Business Combinations: C1CA Handbook Section 1581 establishes standards for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of business combinations including criteria for the recognition of intangible assets of the acquired enterprise apart from goodwill. Initially, in all of the Company’s previous acquisitions, including the acquisition of Pact Resources LLC

PHOENIX COAL INC NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2008 and 2007 (“Pacf”), a development-stage enterprise, as described In note D, the amount of the purchase price is excess of the feir value of identifiable tangible assets was allocated in its entirety to goodwill. The Compaq has determined that in each of these acquisitions, the excess should have been allocated to mining rights. Consequently, on the June 30,2008 and subsequent balance sheets, the Company has reclassified $32,393,227, previously shown as goodwill at December 31,2007, to Mining Rights, Mine Development Costs and Mineral Reserves. Other than this rectification, the change in the purchase allocation in the Pact and other acquisitions has had no material impact on the reported financial position or results of operations of any prior period. Financial Instruments: CICA Section 3 855, “Financial Instruments — Recognition and Measurement”, establishes standards tor recognizing and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities, and non-financial derivatives. Under CICA 3855 financial instruments are classified into one of the following five categories: held for hading assets or liabilities, held to maturity investments, loans and receivables, available for sale financial assets or other financial liabilities. Held for trading financial instruments are measured at feir value and all gains and losses are included in net income in the period in which they arise. Available for sale financial instruments are measured at fair value with revaluation gains and losses included hi accumulated other comprehensive income until the instruments are derecognized or impaired. Loans and receivables, investments held to maturity and other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents (Including restricted cash), short-term investments, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities, other long-term liabilities, and short-term and long-term debt, indudmg notes payable and preferred shares. Cash and cash equivalents are classified as held for trading, and are measured at fair value at the balance sheet date. Short-term investments are classified as held for trading and arc measured at fair value at the balance sheet date. Accounts receivable are designated as loans and receivables and accounted for at amortized cost Trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities, other long term liabilities and short-term and long-term debt, including preferred shares, are classified as other financial liabilities and accounted for at amortized cost Transaction costs for financial instruments, other than held for trading, are included in the value of the financial instrument. Income and expense related to financial instruments is included in the consolidated statement of operations as mterest income or Interest expense. Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits held with banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all cash accounts mat are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties to be cash and cash equivalents. Short-term investments: Short-term investments typically include certificates of deposit and investments issued by the United States government, such as Treasury bills and Treasury notes, with original maturities greater than three months. At December 31,2008, the short-term investment balance off 100,707 was entirely invested in certificates of deposit Trade Accounts Receivable; Trade accounts receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest Customers are primarily investment grade companies and quasi-governmental agencies . As a result, the Company has not experienced any instances of non-payment and does not currently require an allowance for doabtful accounts. Management monitors customers closely and will record an allowance if trade account balances become potentialh/ uncollectible. Inventory: Ita Company accounts for coal inventories on a first-in-first-out basis and values these inventories at the lower of cost and net realizable value with cost determined using average cost per ton. Coal inventory values were $22.62 per ton at December 31, 2008 and ranged from $21.99 to $29.02 at December 31, 2007. At December 31, 2008, the total inventory value of $452,558 was valued at net realizable value. At December 31, 2007, the total inventory value of $1,072^97 comprised $748,454 that was valued at cost and $324,243 that was valued at net realizable value. The Company accounts for parts inventory using the original cost on a firsNn-first-out basis. Parts inventory is included in other current assets. There were no write downs or reversal of write downs of inventory recorded in 2008. Restricted Cash, Cask Equivalents, and Certificates of Deposit: Restricted cash balances are either used to collateralize letters of credit, or secure reclamation bonds with state agencies. These assets will not be released until the reclamation bonds are released by the state, and as such are not included in current assets.

PHOENIX COAL INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31,2008 and 2007 Property, Plant and Equipment; Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. The Company provides far depreciation on the straight-line basis with useftil lives that range from 5 to 10 years. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $4,364,650 and $2,652,542, respectively. The cost of assets sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in operations. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property, plant and equipment are capitalized Interest cost is capitalized for qualifying assets during the period in which the asset is being installed and prepared for its intended use. Capitalized interest cost is amortized on the same basis as the related asset No Interest costs were capitalized for the years ended December 31,2008 and 2007. Consistent with CICA Section 3063, Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, the Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. This impairment testing is based on estimated future undlsoounted cash flows to be realized from the use of the tons-lived asset These future cash flows are developed using assumptions that reflect the long-term operating plans given management’s best estimate of future economic conditions, such as revenues, production costs, and reserve estimates. A change in these factors could result in a modification of die Impairment calculation, Mm Development Costs: Mine development costs represent the costs incurred to prepare future mine sites fbr mining and are amortized on the units-of-productlon method. The net book value of mine development costs was $1,681,147 and $1,464,831 at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. At December 31,2008 and 2007, die net book value of mine development costs included $1,446,478 and $882,896, respectively, attributable to properties where the Company was not currently mining and, therefore, the mine development costs were currently not being amortized. Development costa amortized totaled $665,243 and $455,408 for the years ended December 31,2008 and 2007, respectively. Mining Rights; Mining rights, which are lights to mine coal properties acquired through coal leases, are recorded at cost Mining rights are amortized on the units-of-productlon method. The net book value of mining rights totaled $50,712^374 and $32,893,227 at December 31,2008 and 2007, respectively. At December 31,2008 and 2007, the net book value of mining rights included $45,627,773 and $24,854,649, respectively, attributable to properties where the Company was not currently mining and, therefore, the mining rights were currently not being amortized. Mining rights amortized totaled $3,382,180 and nil fbr the years ended December 31,2008 and 2007, respectively. In June 2007, the Company closed its Crittenden County Coal mining operation due to uneconomical mining conditions. As a result of the closing, we Company recorded an asset impairment writs down related to its mining rights of $2^173,055. Mineral Reserves; Mineral reserves, which are coal properties fbr which the Company owns the coal in place, are recorded at cost At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the net book value of mineral reserves totaled $189,434. This entire amount is attributable to properties where the Company was not currently engaged in mining operations and, therefore, the assets were not currently being depleted. Prepaid Royalties: Rights to leased coal lands are often acquired through royalty payments. Where royalty payments represent prepayments recoupable against production, they are recorded a s a prepaid asset As mining occurs on these leases, the prepayment Is charged to cost of sales. Prepaid royalties were $492,418 and $80,683 at December 31,2008 and 2007, respectively, and are included in other assets. Asset Retirement Obligations: CICA Handbook Section 3110, “Asset Retirement Obligations,” addresses financial accounting and reporting fbr obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The Company’s asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) liabilities primarily consist of spending estimates related to reclaiming surface land and support facilities in accordance with federal and state reclamation laws as defined by each mining permit

PHOENIX COAL JNC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31,2008 and 2007 Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (3) the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determlnable, and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. In the case of coal that Is mined and sold, a specific sales contract is negotiated with each customer, which includes a fixed-price per ton, a delivery schedule, and terms of payment Royally Expense: The majority of the coal that the Company mines is owned by other entities. The Company acquires the right to mine and sell the coal through various leases. These leases require the Company to pay a royalty to the owners of the land and the minerals being mined. Royalty expense for the years ended December 31,2008 and 2007 was $3,778,642 and $3,391,015, respectively, and is included in selling expenses on the consolidated statement of operations. Income Taxes: Future Income taxes are provided for temporary differences arising from differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities existing at each balance sheet date using substantively enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the related taxes are expected fo be paid or recovered Loss per Stare: The Company uses the treasury stock method to compute the dllutiveeffcrtofoptiona and warrants. Under mis method the dilutive effect on loss per share is recognized on the use of the proceeds tfiat could be obtained upon exercise of options and warrants. It assumes that the proceeds would be used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the year. The Company also uses the “if converted” method to compute the dilutive effect of any convertible debt For loss per share, the dilutive effect has not been presented, as it would prove to be anti-dilutive. Basic and diluted loss per common share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. As a result of the RTO transaction, die basic and diluted loss per share has been presented in accordance with the guidance provided in EIC Abstract No. 10. Stock-based compensation: The Company uses the fair value method for options, warrants and restricted stock granted. The fm value of stock options and warrants is determined by the Black-Scholcs option pricing model with assumptions for risk-free interest rates, dividend yields, volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company’s common shares and an expected life of the options and warrants. The fair value of the restricted stock is determined to be the equivalent of the Company’s common shares’ trading price on the date of the grant; The fair value of the instruments granted is amortized over this vesting period. Foreign currency translation: The Company translates monetary assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date and non monetary assets and liabilities at historical exchange rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at rates prevailing at the dates of the related transactions. New Accounting Policies: Capital Disclosures: Effective January 1,2008, the Company adopted CiCA Handbook Section 1535, Capital Disclosures. Handbook Section 1535 specifies the disclosure of (1) an entity’s objectives, policies and processes for managing capital; (li) quantitative data about what the entity regards as capital; (Hi) whether the entity has complied with any capital requirements; and (iv) if it has not complied, the consequences of such noncompliance. The Company has included disclosures recommended by the new Handbook section in note B to these consolidated financial statements. Inventories: Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted new accounting recommendations set out in the CICA, Handbook Section 3031, “Inventories”, which supersedes the previously issued standard on inventory. The new standard introduces significant changes to the measurement and disclosure of Inventory. The measurement changes include: the elimination of LIFO, the requirement to measure inventories at the lower of cost and net realizable value method for inventories that are not ordinarily interchangeable and goods or services produced for specific purposes, the requirement for an entity to use a consistent cost formula for inventory of a similar nature and use, and the reversal of previous writedowns to net realizable value when there is a subsequent increase in the value of inventories. Disclosures of inventories have also been enhanced. Inventory policies, carrying amounts, amounts recognized as an expense, write-downs and the reversals of write-downs are required to be disclosed. This standard has had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Financial Instruments • Disclosures and Presentation: Effective January 1,2008 the Company also adopted the following new CICA Handbook Sections: Section 3862, Financial Instruments Disclosures, and Section 3863, Financial Instruments

PHOENIX COAL INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31,2008 and 2007 Presentation. Sections 3862 and 3863 consist of a comprehensive series of disclosure requirements and presentation rules applicable to financial instruments. Section 3862 revises and enhances the disclosure requirements set out in Section 3861, Financial Instruments Disclosure and Presentation, and Section 3863 carries forward unchanged the presentation requirements of Section 3861. Section 3862, Financial Instruments Disclosures, requires die Company to provide disclosures in its financial statements that enable users to evaluate the significance of financial instruments for tbe Company’s financial position and performance, the nature and extent of the risks arising from financial instruments to which the Company ^iaexposed during the year and at the balance sheet date, and how tbe Company manages those risks. The Company has included disclosures recommended by the new Handbook section in note H to these consolidated financial statements. Amendments to Section 1400 — General Standards qf Financial Statement Presentation: The CICA amended Handbook Section 1400, Going Concern, to include additional requirements to assess and disclose an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has determined that these amendments had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Future Accounting Changes; Goodwill and Intangible Assets: The CICA has issued a new standard which may affect the financial disclosures and results of operations of the Company for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2009. Section 3064, Goodwill and intangible assets, establishes revised standards for recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets, Concurrent with the introduction of this standard, the CICA withdrew EIC-27, Revenues and Expenses during the pre-operating period. International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”): In 2006, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) published a new strategic plan that will significantly affect financial reporting requirements for Canadian companies. In February 2008, the AcSB announced that Canadian GAAP for publicly accountable enterprises will be converged who IFRS effective in calendar year 2011. The Company will adopt IFRS for the fiscal year beginning January I 2011, with restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for the fiscal year beginning January 1,2010. The Company is currently in the planning phase of the conversion, which includes identifying potential differences between GAAP and existing IFRS at December 31,2008, as well as proposed IFRS which may be in effect in 2011. The Company is utilizing both internal and external resources to identify and ultimately quantify these differences and tbe impact that they will have on accounting policies, infbrmation technology and data systems, internal control over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures, financial reporting, and business activities. Employees responsible for financial reporting will attend IFRS training and begin IFRS accounting policy development in 2009. Reclassiflcatlons: Certain of die 2007 figures have been reclassified to conform to the 2008 financial statement presentation. NOTE B -CAPITAL MANAGEMENT The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to It, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition, exploration and development of its mineral properties.

NOTE D—ACQUISITIONS C&R Coal Inc. In July 2008, the Company’s subsidiary, R&L Wton toe. (“R&L Warn”), purchased all of the outstanding common shares of C&R Coal Inc. (“C&R”) for cash consideration of $2,051,000, In addition, under the terms of the agreement, R&L Wlnn will pay the former owners a royalty of $0.60 per ton for each ton of coal sold from the C&R mines. The current mining area, Beech Creek and Beech Creek South, contained approximately 450,000 reserve tons (697,000 reserve tons as at December 31,2007 pursuant to the Company’s National Instrument 43-101 revised technical report less coal mined in the first seven months of 2008) as at July 31,2008. R&L Wion also acquired other leases in the transaction from C&R and R&O Leasing, LLC, a company that is affiliated with C&R through common ownership. Based on exploration completed to date by the Company, management estimates the leases contain approximately 1,500,000 tons of coal. The potential quantity is conceptual in nature as there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain that further exploration will result in the delineation of a mineral resource.

Additionally, the Company incurred 118,000 of dosing costs. The purchase included all assets and liabilities of Renfro, except certain equipment and associated debt specifically excluded from the purchase. Based on exploration completed to date by the Company, management estimates Renfro controls approximately 1,000,000 tons of coal reserves and 465,000 resource tons via lease. The potential quantity is conceptual in nature as there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it Is uncertain that further exploration will result in the delineation of a mineral resource. Additionally, if by the second anniversary of the closing date, me Company acquires at least 1^00,000 reserve tons as defined by National Instrument 43-101 due to the direct efforts of the sellers (the “Additional Reserves”), the Company will pay the sellers Sl,000,00O for the first \5 million tons of reserves, plus S0.S0 per ton for each reserve ton in excess of 1.5 million. The share purchase agreement defines a specific territory from which the Additional Reserves can be acquired. The acquisition of the Additional Reserves is on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company in its sole, reasonable discretion.

Pact Resources LLC In October 2007, the Company acquired the membership interests in Pact Resources LLC (“PACT”) upon exercising its option in September 2007 pursuant to the option agreements dated September 7,2006 {the “Option Agreements”). Through the acquisition of PACT, the Company controls the leases for the proposed Pratt Mine within the area of interest as defined in the Option Agreements. The proposed Pratt Mine contains both underground and surface coal totaling 33,333,000 tons of measured and indicated resources, 670,000 tons of inferred resources and 28,933,000 toss of proven and probable reserves. The Company has been carrying out development work on the proposed Pratt Mine since the fourth quarter of 2006, and in August 2008 received a state permit which will allow the Company to begin construction on the Pratt Mine. In addition to the leases for the proposed Pratt Mine, the sellers of PACT delivered to the Company the lease for the Panama South property, which is described further below. As a result, the in-place tons associated with the Panama South property were included in the calculation of the Scheduled Payment (as described below). The Panama South property contains both underground and surface coal totaling 76,287,000 tons of measured and Indicated resources. Pursuant to the Option Agreements, in addition to the scheduled payment for in-place tons of coal delivered by the sellers (the “Scheduled Payment”), which payment terms would be subsequently modified, the Company agreed to pay £300,000 (the “Option Fee”) at the effective date of the Option Agreements, an overriding royalty no greater than 3% o f the gross sales price per ton sold from the proposed Pratt Mine (the “Overriding Royalty’’) awl expenses related to the development of the proposed Pratt Mine during the option period (the “Pratt Expenses”). Prior to the closing of the acquisition, the Company and the sellers of PACT modified the original Option Agreements and entered into modification of option agreements (the “Modification of Option Agreements”). The Modification of Option Agreements stipulated that the Scheduled Payment was SI 5,000,000 payable in three installments, 510,000,000 of which was paid in 2007, plus a true-up payment of $0.10 per in-place ton on September 7, 2008 for any additional tons of coal greater than 150,000,000 in-place tons that the sellers deliver. As at December 31,2007, the Company estimated that the sellers had already delivered 177,940,000 in-place tons of coal for a total Scheduled Payment of $17,794,000. As such, the Company recorded an additional $7,794,000 of vendor

PHOENIX COAL INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31,2008 and 2007 financing on its consolidated balance sheet due to the former owners of PACT as at December 31,2007. Of this amount, $5,000,000 was originally payable in April 2008, with the balance due in September 2008. On March 31, 2008, the Company entered into a buy-out agreement with the former owners of PACT, which was subsequently amended in June 2008 (collectively the “Buy-out Agreements”). Under the terms of the Buy-out Agreements, if die Company either completed a public offering of its shares, sold On a private sale) more than 50% of its issued and outstanding shares or more than 50% of its assets, or completed an RTO (the “Monetization Event”), the Company would pay the former owners of PACT $25 million (the “Buy-out Payment”). Pursuant to the Buy-out Agreements, Phoenix’s obligations to make a $5 million payment in April 2008 and the balance in September 2008 were suspended until the occurrence of a Monetization Event Upon receipt of the Buy-out Payment, all obligations of Phoenix to make any additional payments, including the accrued amount on the consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2007 and future overriding royally payments, would cease and terminate. In the event the Monetization Event was an RTO, and the offering was not closed on or before July 1,2008, then all obligations of the Company to mate additional payments to the former owners of PACT for the PACT properties would be reinstated at that time. On June 27,2008, the Company completed the RTO and paid $25,000,000 to the former owners of Pact on June 30, 2008. At December 31,2007, Phoenix’s acquisition costs In PACT totaled $12,909,000. With the $25,000,000 Buy-out Payment paid on June 30, less the vendor financing of $7,794,000 previously recorded at December 31,2007, the acquisition costs increased by $17,206,000 during the year ended December 31,2008, with a corresponding increase in mining rights. The Company’s total acquisition cost of PACT is comprised of the Option Fee, Pratt Expenses, the Scheduled Payments, and the Buy-out Payment which total $36,115,000 (the “Purchase Priced at December 31,2008 and $18,909,000 at December 31,2007 as follows: 2001 2BQ7 Option Fee ,, ,, $300,000 $300,000 Pratt Expenses ,,. 815,000 815,000 Scheduled Payments and Buy-out Payment . 33,000,000 17,794,000 S 36,113,000 $18,909,000 The Purchase Price was allocated to the following identifiable net assets: 20M 2087 Cash. ___$3,000 $3,000 Advance royalties — ___,, ,, ___.. 42,000 42,000 Land purchase option ___75,000 75,000 Mining rights and mine development costs — . ... 35,995.000 18.789,000 S 36.115.000 S 18,909,000 At the acquisition date, the owners of PACT owned less than 1% of the total outstanding shares of Phoenix and also held 300,000 options to purchase common shares of Phoenix. The PACT purchase price was negotiated by members of senior management that had no financial ownership in PACT and the acquisition was considered to be an arms-length transaction. During 2008, the Company finalized the purchase allocation and related valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the PACT acquisition. Initially, the purchase price in excess of tangible and identifiable assets was allocated to goodwill. However, as PACT is a development stage enterprise which has not yet commenced commercial production, the Company has concluded that the allocation should be to acquired mining rights as explained more fully under “Business Comfainations^,, in note A.

The notional amount decreased over the life of tha swap agreement, which was due to expire in December 2011. The notional amount of the agreement was $5,483333 at December 31,2007. Under the agreement, the Company paid or received the net interest amount monthly, with the monthly settlements included in interest expense. In 2006, management designated the interest rate swap agreement as a cash flow hedging instrument, and determined the agreement met the requirements for hedge accounting under OAAP. In August 2007, the debt to which this swap was related was retired. As a result, the amount previously recorded in other comprehensive income was charged to interest expense in October 2007 and any future changes to the fair value of the swap either increased or decreased interest expense as the contract no longer qualified as an accounting hedge. On Jury 15, 2008, the Company paid $237,200 to terminate the swap. The fair value of the derivative was $224,696 at December 31,2007, and is included in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet on that date. In December 2006, the Company received a $500,000 advance as part of a bridge financing agreement associated with the Charolais acquisition completed in January 2007. The advance was repaid in January 2007 and reissued as part of the full bridge financing of $4,135,600 denominated in Canadian dollars (approximately $3.5 million in U.S. dollars). The loan was repaid in August of 2007 resulting m a foreign currency exchange loss of approximately $418,000. Interest Expense Included in interest expense for the years ended December 31,2008 and 2007 is $955,048 and S2£54,999, respectively, for interest on indebtedness initially incurred for a term of more titan one year. NOTE H — FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS The Company has exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, and foreign currency risk. The Company’s risk management objective is to protect earnings and cash flow and, ultimately, shareholder value. Risk management strategies,

PHOENIX COAL INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31,2008 and 2007 as discussed below, are designed and implemented to ensure the Company’s risks and the related exposure are consistent with the business objectives and risk tolerance. Credit Risk: Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a. financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligation. The Company invests its cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments in a U.S. financial institution, which at December 31,2008, carried Standard and Poor’s investment ratings on their deposits of A to A-l. At December 31,2008, approximately 539,700,000 of the cash and cash equivalents balance was invested in a money market fund managed by mis financial institution. In January 2009, the Company reduced this money market balance to approximately $8,000,000, an amount that is guaranteed until April 30,2009 by the US, Treasury Department under the Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits with this financial institution. The Company is also subject to credit risk from its trade accounts receivable. While economic factors can affect credit risk, the Company manages risk by providing credit terms on a case by case basis. Customers are primarily investment grade companies and quasi-governmental agencies. As a result, the Company has not experienced any instances of non-payment Subsequent to December 31,2008, the Company has collected all of its trade accounts receivable at December 31,2008. the Company also invests in short-term Investments issued by the United States government, such as Treasury bUIs and Treasury notes. Historically, these types of investments have been AAA rated, so the Company does not anticipate any risk related to default on these investments by the issuer. At December 31, 2008, the total fair value of assets subject to credit risk, including cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash and investments], short-term investments, and trade accounts receivable totaled 155,108,371. Liquidity Rist Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company manages its liquidity by ensuring mat there is sufficient capital to meet short and long-term business requirements, after taking into account cash flows from operations and the Company’s holdings of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. The Company also strives to maintain sufficient financial liquidity at all times in order to participate in investment opportunities as they arise, as well as to withstand sudden adverse changes in economic circumstances. Management forecasts cash flows for its current and subsequent fiscal years to predict future financing requirements. Future requirements are met through a combination of credit commitments and access to capital markets. At December 31,2008, the Company had $40.6 million of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments. The following are the maturities, excluding interest payments, reflecting undiscounfed future cash disbursements of the Company’s financial liabilities based on years ending December 31: 2009 2010 to 2011 2012 and later Trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities ,..,..,,-.» $6,470,390 Long-term debt 6,532,045 S 12,252,703 $2^89,042 Other long-term liabilities ; 241,372 241,371 $13,002,435 $12,494,075 $2,630,413 Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk borne by an interest-bearing asset or liability as a result of fluctuations in interest rates. Financial assets and financial liabilities with variable interest rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. The Company’s most significant interest rate risk arises from its investments in marketable securities and cash equivalents. However, the maturity on these Instruments is generally less than ninety days, thereby mitigating the exposure to the impact of changing interest rates.

Fair Values: At December 31,2008, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash and investments), short-term investments, trade accounts receivable, and trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximated their carrying values because of die short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of other long-term liabilities also approximated its carrying value. The fair value of the Company’s long term debt, calculated using die present value of the scheduled debt payments, and using a credit adjusted risk free rate of 6,75%, was $21,052^00 at December 31,2008.

PHOENIX COAL INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Three and Six Months Ended June 30,2009 and 2008 (Unaudited) NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Nature of Operations: The Company is engaged in the production and sale of steam coal to utilities and industrial fuel consumers. The Company’s mining activities are currently limited to one reportable business segment, which is the Illinois Basin. On June 27, 2008, Phoenix Coal Corporation (“Phoenix”) completed a reverse takeover (“RTO”) of Phoenix Coal Inc. (the “Company”), formerly Marimba Capital Corp. (“MCC”), which was previously listed on the TSX Venture Exchange. MCC was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) on February 8,2007 and was classified as a Capital Pool Company as defined in the TSX Venture Exchange Policy 2.4 and, accordingly, had no assets other than cash and no commercial operations. MCC changed its name to Phoenix Coal Inc. on June 25, 2008. Phoenix, a U.S. company headquartered in Madisonville, Kentucky with a satellite office in Louisville, Kentucky, was formed in July 2004 as a Delaware C corporation and was originally named Dynamic Separations, Inc. (“DSI”). Where the context requires, in respect to transactions prior to the RTO, the “Company” also refers to Phoenix. Principles of Consolidation: Pursuant to the RTO transaction, these consolidated financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities and results of operations of Phoenix prior to the RTO and the consolidated assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Company and Phoenix subsequent to the RTO. The consolidated financial statements are issued under the name of the legal parent (the Company), but are deemed to be a continuation of the legal subsidiary (Phoenix). The consolidated financial statements include Phoenix Coal Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned. Basis of Presentation: The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and accordingly do not include all disclosures required for annual financial statements. All monetary references expressed in these notes are references to United States dollars, except occasional references to Canadian dollar amounts, where the dollar amount is preceded by Cdn (“CdnS”). With the exception of new accounting pronouncements discussed in this note, these interim consolidated financial statements follow the same significant accounting policies and methods of application as the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 (the “Annual Financial Statements”)- The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Annual Financial Statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31,2009. Assets Held for Sale: In the second quarter 2009, the Company initiated a process to consider various strategic opportunities, including, but not limited to, the sale of some or all of its coal mining assets and operations. As further discussed in Note 2, subsequent to the end of the second quarter 2009, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell substantially all of its surface coal mining assets. Pursuant to Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants’ (“CICA”) Section 3475, Disposal of Long-Lived Assets and Discontinued Operations, and Emerging Issues Committee (“EIC”) Abstract No. 161, Disconti nued Operations, the Company has classified its surface mining assets and liabilities related to the pending sale, as assets and liabilities held for sale. The Company’s underground coal mining assets do not meet the definition of assets held for sale, and therefore have not been classified as such in these financial statements. As the Company will not have substantial continuing operations subsequent to the sale, discontinued operations accounting has not been applied in these financial statements. Reverse takeover accounting: The RTO was completed on June 27, 2008. Prior to the completion of the RTO, MCC affected a reverse split of its outstanding common shares on the basis of 1 new share for each 2.35 shares outstanding. Pursuant to the RTO, the Company issued one common share for each outstanding common share of Phoenix. In addition, warrants and options to purchase Phoenix common shares outstanding immediately prior to the RTO were replaced with warrants and options to purchase an equivalent number of common shares of the Company, on economically equivalent terms and conditions.

PHOENIX COAL INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Three and Six Months Ended June 30,2009 and 2008 (Unaudited) Concurrent with the RTO, the Company raised $97,784,678, net of issuance costs, in a prospectus offering (the “Offering”) of 62,857,160 subscription receipts priced at Cdn$1.75. In connection with the RTO, each subscription receipt was exchanged for one unit, each unit consisting of one common share and one half common share purchase warrant exercisable until June 25,2010 at Cdn$2.25 per share. The acquisition of the shares of Phoenix was accounted for as an RTO transaction in accordance with guidance provided in EIC-10, As MCC did not qualify as a business for accounting purposes, the transaction was accounted for as a capital transaction of Phoenix. New Accounting Policies: Goodwill and Intangible Assets: The CICA has issued a new standard, CICA Section 3064, Goodwill and Intangible assets, which establishes revised standards for recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets and is effective January 1, 2009. Concurrent with the introduction of this standard, the CICA withdrew EIC-27, Revenues and Expenses during the pre-operating period. This standard has had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Financial Instruments: The EIC has issued EIC-173, Credit Risk and the Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which clarifies the application of credit risk when determining the fair value of financial assets and liabilities. EIC-173 is effective for interim and annual financial statements for periods ending on or after January 20, 2009. This standard has had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Mining Exploration Costs: The EIC has issued EIC-174, Mining Exploration Costs, which discusses the circumstances under which exploration costs may be capitalized. Additionally, EIC-174 clarifies the timing for testing capitalized exploration costs for impairment. EIC-174 is effective for interim and annual financial statements issued after March 27, 2009. This standard has had no material impact on die Company’s consolidated financial statements. Future Accounting Changes: International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”): In 2006, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) published a new strategic plan that will significantly affect financial reporting requirements for Canadian companies. In February 2008, the AcSB announced that Canadian GAAP for publicly accountable enterprises will be converged with IFRS effective in calendar year 2011. The Company will adopt IFRS for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2011, with restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for the fiscal year beginning January 1,2010. The Company is currently in the planning phase of the conversion, which includes identifying potential differences between GAAP and existing IFRS as at June 30, 2009, as well as proposed IFRS which may be in effect in 2011. The Company is utilizing both internal and external resources to identify and ultimately quantify these differences and the impact that they will have on accounting policies, information technology and data systems, internal control over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures, financial reporting, and business activities. Employees responsible for financial reporting have attended IFRS training, have begun IFRS accounting policy development, and initiated development of an IFRS project timeline Quantification of GAAP and IFRS differences has not yet been determined due to the need to evaluate internal data and make final policy choices and elections. Reclassiftcations: Certain of the 2008 figures have been reclassified to conform to the 2009 financial statement presentation. NOTE 2 —ASSETS HELD FOR SALE Subsequent to the en d of the second quarter 2009, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with a privately owned coal producer to sell substantially all of the operating assets and operations, including coal reserves, mining property, plant and equipment, mining rights, coal purchase contracts and coal sales contracts associated with its surface coal mining operations in Western Kentucky. All of the Company’s current revenues are derived from these operations.

PHOENIX COAL INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Three and Six Months Ended June 30,2009 and 2008 (Unaudited) The consideration which will be received upon closing includes $5,7 million in cash, assumption by the purchaser of all debt associated with the equipment being sold and the assumption of certain reclamation liabilities related to the coal reserves. In addition, the purchaser will replace the Company’s letters of credit for assumed reclamation obligations, which, upon transfer of the active mining permits, will release the restrictions on approximately $5.8 million of restricted cash and certificates of deposit. The Company can potentially receive an additional $1.0 million, upon satisfaction of certain post-closing obligations. The closing of the transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including closing conditions related to satisfying the purchaser as to the size and quality of the coal reserves. As a consequence of the above, at June 30,2009, the assets and liabilities associated with the sale of the Company’s surface mining operations have been classified as current assets and current liabilities held for sale and shown separately on the balance sheet Furthermore, effective June 30, 2009, the property, plant and equipment, mining rights, mine development costs and mineral reserves being sold have been written down to the amount expected to be realized on sale, namely the cash to be received plus the amount of the liabilities being assumed by the purchaser on closing, less costs to sell. This resulted in a write down of assets held for sale in the amount of $38,920,000 in the three months ended June 30,2009. Assets and liabilities held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet include the following amounts: June 30, 2009 Current assets Coal inventories $877,841 Property, plant and equipment, net 27,719,034 Other assets 121,326 $28,718,201 Current liabilities Asset retirement obligations $2,587,981 Term debt 22,596,234 $25,184,215 Term Debt June 30, 2009 Bank notes payable, interest at 5.50% to 8.90%. Payments are made in monthly installments. The loans are collateralized by various pieces of equipment and mature April 2010 $66,810 Equipment notes payable, interest at 5.25% to 8.75%. Payments are made in monthly installments. The loans are collateralized by related assets with a net book value of $31,258,000 as at June 30, 2009 and have maturity dates from August 2010 to March 2013 22,529,424 Total term debt associated with assets held for sale $22,596,234 NOTE 3 — ACQUISITIONS Petersburg Coal Sublease In March 2009, the Company entered into a sublease agreement with Petersburg Coal, LLC (“Petersburg”) to sublease mineral reserves which are contiguous to its Gryphon Mining Complex, formerly known as the Pratt Mine. Under the terms of the sublease, the Company paid $3,000,000 at closing, assumed $192,178 in liabilities, and will pay an additional $3,000,000 upon satisfactory completion of certain contingencies, including receipt of all required permits from Petersburg. The Company also incurred transaction costs related to the sublease of $115,081, bringing the total cost of the sublease to $6,307,259. A mineral reserve and mineral resource evaluation prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 (“NI43-101”) of the Gryphon Mining Complex was prepared as at April 1, 2009 by an independent geological and engineering consulting firm.

NOTE 5 — ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS The Company estimates its ARO liabilities for final reclamation and mine closure based upon detailed engineering calculations of the amount and timing of the future cash spending for a third party to perform the required work. Spending estimates are escalated for inflation and then discounted at the credit-adjusted risk-free rate. The Company records an ARO asset associated with the discounted liability for final reclamation and mine closure. The obligation and corresponding asset are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. The ARO asset is amortized on the units-of-production method and the ARO liability is accreted to the projected spending date. As changes in estimates occur (such as mine plan revisions, changes in estimated costs or changes in timing of the performance of reclamation activities), the revisions to the obligation and asset are recognized at the appropriate credit-adjusted risk-free rate. The Company also recognizes an obligation for contemporaneous reclamation liabilities incurred as a result of surface mining. Contemporaneous reclamation consists primarily of grading, topsoil replacement, and revegetation of backfilled pit areas.

NOTE 7 — FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK FACTORS The Company has exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, and foreign currency risk. The Company’s risk management objective is to protect earnings and cash flow and, ultimately, shareholder value. Risk management strategies, as discussed below, are designed and implemented to ensure the Company’s risks and the related exposure are consistent with its business objectives and risk tolerance. Credit Risk: Credit risk is the risk of a Financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligation. The Company had invested approximately $15,630,000 of its cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash and investments) and short-term investments in a U.S. financial institution, which as at June 30, 2009, carried Standard and Poor’s investment ratings on their deposits of A-2 to BBB+. As at June 30,2009, approximately 83,343,000 of the cash and cash equivalents balance was invested in a money market fund managed by this financial institution, which is guaranteed until September 18, 2009 by the U.S. Treasury Department under the Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits with mis financial institution.

PHOENIX COAL INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Three and Six Months Ended June 30,2009 and 2008 (Unaudited) The Company is also subject to credit risk from its trade accounts receivable. While economic factors can affect credit risk, the Company manages risk by providing credit terms on a case by case basis. Customers are primarily investment grade companies and quasi-governmental agencies. As a result, the Company has not experienced any instances of non-payment The Company also invests in short-term investments issued by the United States government, such as Treasury bills and Treasury notes. Historically, these types of investments have been AAA rated, so the Company does not anticipate any risk related to default on these investments by the issuer, As at June 30, 2009, the total fair value of assets subject to credit risk, including cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash and investments), short-term investments, and trade accounts receivable is their carrying value of $36,579,666. Liquidity Risk: Liquidity risk is the risk mat the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company manages its liquidity by ensuring that there is sufficient capital to meet short and long-term business requirements, after taking into account cash flows from operations and the Company’s holdings of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. The Company also strives to maintain sufficient financial liquidity at all times in order to participate in investment opportunities as they arise, as well as to withstand sudden adverse changes in economic circumstances. Management forecasts cash flows for its current and subsequent fiscal years to predict fiiture financing requirements. Future requirements are met through a combination of credit commitments and access to capital markets. As at June 30, 2009, the Company had S20.8 million of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments. Merest Rate Risk- Interest rate risk is the risk borne by an interest-bearing asset or liability as a result of fluctuations in interest rates. Financial assets and financial liabilities with variable interest rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. The Company’s most significant interest rate risk arises from its short-term investments and cash equivalents. However, the maturity on these instruments is generally less than ninety days, thereby mitigating the exposure to the impact of changing interest rates. The Company’s long-term debt consists of only fixed rate notes. Currency Risk The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar and the Company’s sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. As the Company operates in an international environment, some of the Company’s financial instruments and transactions are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The results of the Company’s operations are subject to currency transaction risk and currency translation risk. As at June 30, 2009, the Company had no material financial instruments that were denominated in non U.S. currencies. NOTE 8 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES In the normal course of business, the Company makes various commitments and incurs certain contingent liabilities including liabilities related to asset retirement obligations and financial obligations in connection with mining permits that are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these transactions. In accordance with Kentucky state law, the Company is required to post reclamation bonds to assure that reclamation work is completed. Outstanding reclamation bonds related to surface mining operations totaled approximately $12.5 million as at June 30, 2009 and approximately $11.0 million as at December 31, 2008. These bonds are secured by letters of credit or certific ates of deposit issued by a bank equal to the amount of the outstanding reclamation bonds. The letters of credit are collateralized by the restricted cash and certificates of deposit on the consolidated balance sheet of $12,517,297 and 11,638,921 as at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Pursuant to the surface mining operation sale detailed in note 2, approximately $5,849,000 of the Company’s cash-collateralized reclamation bonds will be replaced by the purchaser. As a result, as at June 30,2009, the Company has classified $5,849,000 of the restricted cash and certificates of deposit as a current asset. The Company leases certain office space under a long-term operating lease running through 2009. Future non-cancelable minimum lease commitments under this lease as at June 30, 2009, payable in 2009, totaled $114,597. This lease is not related to the surface mining operations held for sale.

PHOENIX COAL INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Three and Six Months Ended June 30,2009 and 2008 (Unaudited) A significant amount of the Company’s surface and underground coal reserves are controlled through leasing arrangements and non-cancellable royalty lease agreements under which future minimum lease payments are due. In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contracts to purchase diesel fuel from local suppliers for physical delivery at specified prices. Pursuant to these contracts, the Company does not own a futures or options position in the purchased fuel. As at, and subsequent to, June 30, 2009, the Company has executed purchase contracts for a total of 2,562,000 gallons to be delivered in 2009 and 2010 at a total cost of $5,672,407, or an average weighted price of $2.21 per gallon. These fuel contracts are exclusively related to the surface mining operations held for sale. In 2007, the Company entered into a master coal purchase and sale agreement (the “Master Agreement”) to purchase coal fines recovered and processed by Covol Fuels No. 2, LLC (“Covol”) from two coal slurry reserve areas in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. On July 6,2009 the Company executed an amendment to the Master Agreement (the “Amended Master Agreement”) revising the annual purchase and sale tonnage commitments. The term of the Amended Master Agreement runs through the exhaustion of the reserves (the “Term”). During the Term of the Amended Master Agreement, by July 1 of each year, the Company and Covol will agree to the annual tonnage commitment (the “Commitment”) that Covol will produce and that the Company will purchase for the next calendar year. For the calendar year 2010 the Commitment cannot be less than 360,000 tons and for subsequent years the Commitment cannot be less than 400,000 tons. The price to be paid by the Company for the coal fines is dependent on the price at which the fines are sold by the Company to its customer, but not less than $24.50 per ton. Additionally, the Company has the first right of refusal to purchase any tons produced by Covol in excess of the Commitment, but up to 720,000 tons annually. This Master Agreement is exclusively related to the surface mining operations held for sale. In June 2009, the Company entered into a coal supply agreement with an Illinois Basin producer to purchase 20,000 tons of coal per month from July 2009 through December 2009 at a purchase price of $39.00 per ton. Upon mutual agreement of the parties to the coal supply agreement, the term of the agreement may be extended to December 31, 2010. This coal supply agreement is exclusively related to the surface mining operations held for sale. As part of the Renfro Equipment Inc. acquisition in July 2008, the Company agreed that if, by July 31, 2010, it acquires at least 1.5 million reserve tons as defined by National Instrument 43-101 (“NI43-101”) due to the direct efforts of the sellers (“Additional Reserves”), the Company will pay the sellers $1,000,000 for the first 1.5 million tons of reserves, plus $0.50 per ton for each reserve ton in excess of 1.5 million. The acquisition closing documents define a specific territory from which the Additional Reserves can be acquired. The acquisition of the Additional Reserves must be on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company in its sole, reasonable discretion. As at June 30, 2009, the sellers had provided several mineral leases to the Company. However, the analysis and drilling that is required to qualify these properties as reserve tons under the definition of NI 43-101 is in its early stages. Therefore, it is not yet probable that the sellers will deliver 1.5 million reserve tons to the Company, so no liability has been currently accrued on the consolidated balance sheet to the sellers. This commitment is exclusiv ely related to the surface mining operations held for sale. NOTE 9 — STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN AND WARRANTS 2007 Stock Option Plan ofMCC MCC adopted an incentive stock option plan in May 2007 (the “2007 Plan”) which provides that the board of directors of the Company may from time to time, in its discretion, and in accordance with TSX requirements, grant to directors, officers, employees and technical consultants to the Company, non-transferable options to purchase common shares, provided that the number of common shares reserved for issuance will not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares. Such options will be exercisable for a period of up to 5 years from the date of grant. Vesting terms will be determined at the time of grant by the board of directors. In 2007, upon closing of an initial public offering, MCC granted to its directors and officers options to acquire 150,000 shares at a price of Cdn$0.25 per share, exercisable for a period of five years from August 28,2007. The 2007 Plan remains in force and options issued prior to the RTO will continue to be governed by the 2007 Plan; however due to the approval of the 2008 Plan (defined below), no further options will be issued pursuant to die 2007 Plan.

PHOENIX COAL INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Three and Six Months Ended June 30,2009 and 2008 (Unaudited) 2008 Stock Option Plan of the Company In connection with completion of the RTO, the Company adopted a new stock option plan (the “2008 Plan”) on May 20, 2008, which was effective upon the closing of the RTO. The 2008 Plan is designed to advance the interests of the Company by encouraging employees, officers, directors and consultants to have equity participation in the Company through the acquisition of common shares. The current intention is to use the 2008 Plan for option grants to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company. Options granted under the 2008 Plan may be “incentive stock options” or “non-qualified stock options”. The 2008 Plan was approved by the shareholders of the Company in June 2008 and 13,500,000 common shares are reserved for issuance under the 2008 Plan. The exercise price per common share is not to be less than the market price of the common shares at the time of the grant. The exercise period for each stock option is not to be more than ten years (five years in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a person who owns more than 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares). Options may be granted subject to vesting requirements. Unless terminated earlier by the board of directors, the 2008 Plan will remain in effect until all options granted under the 2008 Plan have been exercised or forfeited, or have expired. However, no new options may be granted under the 2008 Plan more than 10 years from the date the Plan was originally adopted by the board of directors. Phoenix had a stock incentive plan authorized by its board of directors in 2004 (the “2004 Plan”) to grant options to its employees (including officers), directors and consultants. Pursuant to the 2004 Plan, Phoenix could issue “non-statutory options” and “incentive stock options” to purchase common shares of Phoenix as well as “stock purchase rights”. Stock options granted under the 2004 Plan were generally subject to vesting provisions of 25% at the end-of-year one from the date of grant and then evenly over the following 48 months. The options were granted at a price equal to 100% of the fan-value of the Company’s common shares on the date of grant and have a ten-year term. Upon completion of the RTO, each Phoenix stock option was cancelled and extinguished and the holder received a replacement option of the Company to purchase that number of common shares of the Company equal to the number of shares of Phoenix common shares issuable under the Phoenix option with no change in the exercise price of such options due to the nature of the exchange rate between United States dollars and Canadian dollars. These replacement options are governed by the terms of the 2008 Plan.

PHOENIX COAL INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Three and Six Months Ended June 30,2009 and 2008 (Unaudited) Compensation cost of stock option grants is recognized straight-line over the options’ vesting periods. Compensation expense related to stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $1,865,000 and $2^291,277, respectively. In March 2009, certain officers of the Company voluntarily surrendered, and the board of directors concurrently cancelled, 4,200,000 options that had been previously issued to them, of which 2,075,849 were fully vested at the surrender date. The voluntary surrender was not accompanied by a concurrent grant of a replacement award or other consideration to these officers. This surrender caused an acceleration of the related compensation costs under CICA Handbook Section 3870. Had these officers not voluntarily surrendered these options, the related compensation expense for the six months ended June 30,2009 would have decreased by approximately $1,295,000. Additionally, in March 2009, the board of directors cancelled and replaced 545,000 stock options that had been previously issued to various production and administrative personnel. These options had originally been granted in 2007 and 2008, with vesting periods ranging from 3 years to 5 years, and exercise prices ranging from $1.25 to Cdn$1.75. The replacement options have a 3 year vesting period and an exercise price of Cdn$0.30. Under the terms of the 2008 Plan, the sale of the surface mining assets and associated liabilities described in note 2 could, depending on the final valuation of the sale, cause all options outstanding under the 2008 Plan to become fully vested and result in any unrecognized compensation expense to be charged to the statement of operations on the date of sale. As at June 30,2009 the unrecognized expense related to these options totaled approximately $720,000. The options* fair value was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Expected volatilities are based on comparable company historical share price movement and other factors. The cost relating to the stock-based compensation plans is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As at June 30,2009, the following stock options were outstanding: Number of Options Exercise Price Expiration Date 585,000 $0.25 April 2015 465,000 0.25 December 2015 335,000 0.50 May 2016 15,000 1.25 March 2017 63,830 Cdn0.59 August 2012 2,550,000 Cdn0.18 November 2018 6,345,000 Cdn 0.30 March 2019 700.000 Cdn 0.30 May 2019 11.058.830 Phoenix Warrants As part of the fee structure related to Phoenix’s preferred share offering in August 2007, the underwriter received warrants to purchase 1,780,000 shares of the preferred shares of Phoenix at $1.25 per share. The warrants expire 24 months following the date Phoenix consummates an initial public offering of its common shares. The warrants’ total value of $462,800 was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Assumptions used in the model were a risk free interest rate of 4.76%, dividend yield of 6.50%, and expected volatility of .40. The value of the warrants was charged to share capital. On June 27,2008, under the terms of a broker agreement, the warrants were converted to warrants to purchase common shares of the Company at $1.25 per common share and expire in June 2010. Company Warrants Under the terms of the Offering, 31,428,580 warrants were issued to the purchasers of the common shares offered. The warrants entitle the holder to purchase one common share for each warrant held at a price of Cdn$2.25 per share. The warrants expire in June 2010. The warrants total value of $8,077,145 was determined by the underwriter of the Offering. The value of the warrants was charged to share capital.

Overview The Company is headquartered in Madisonville, Kentucky and is engaged in the exploration, production, acquisition and sale of coal from the Illinois Basin. The primary customers of the Company are electric utility companies. The current mining operations and nea r-term development projects of the Company are located in Western Kentucky, an area that comprises a part of the Illinois Basin. As at June 30, 2009, the Company operated five surface mines -Briar Hill/Radio Hill (two mines at one geographic location), Back in Black, KO, and Jessup. As further discussed, subsequent to the end of the second quarter 2009, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell substantially all of the assets associated with its surface mining operations.

Phoenix Coal Inc. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three and Six Months Ended June 30,2009 Highlights for the first six months of 2009 During the three and six months ended June 30,2009: Subsequent to the end of the second quarter 2009, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell substantially all of its surface coal mining assets to a significant privately-owned, Ohio-based coal producer on terms and conditions detailed in the in the Sale of Surface Mining Assets section below. The Company received the required permitting from the Kentucky Department of Natural Resources and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for its Winn North, Radio Hill and KO reserves. After receiving all requisite permits, the Company began mining its Radio Hill reserve in January; re-opened the Winn North reserve, part of the Back in Black mine, in February after being idled for eight months; and commenced mining the KO reserve in May. On January 26,2009, a devastating ice storm hit Western Kentucky, destroying electrical infrastructure and seriously crippling the area. Consequently, the Company was unable to produce coal for approximately a week because of the loss of power and inability to access its mine sites. The Company estimated it lost approximately 50,000 to 60,000 tons of production due to the ice storm. Heavy rainfall during the second quarter 2009 hampered production at most mine locations. April rainfall was 34% higher than average for the month, while May was 29% higher than average, according to data published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. On March 3, 2009, the Company entered into a mutual release and settlement agreement with one of its customers to terminate a coal supply agreement for delivery of coal in 2009 and 2010 (the “2009/2010 Supply Agreement”). In consideration for terminating the 2009/2010 Supply Agreement, the Company paid the customer $3,000,000 in cash. In addition, the Company agreed to make up in 2009 approximately 170,000 tons of shipments that were not delivered in 2008 under a separate coal supply agreement dated January 1,2008. On March 27,2009, the Company announced it had entered into a sublease agreement with Petersburg Coal, LLC (“Petersburg”). The subleased mineral reserves are contiguous to the Company’s Gryphon Mining Complex, formerly known as the Pratt Mine. On May 12, 2009, the Company announced it had completed its National Instrument 43-101 technical report on the Gryphon Mining Complex. Based on the report, at the Gryphon Mining Complex the Company controls 68.4 million tons of proven and probable coal mineral reserves, 3.7 million tons of underground measured and indicated coal resources, and 0.2 million tons of inferred coal resources. During the second quarter of 2009, the Company produced approximately 450,000 tons of saleable coal and purchased nearly 83,000 tons of saleable coal. For the six months ended June 30,2009, the Company produced approximately 943,000 tons of saleable coal and purchased nearly 136,000 tons of saleable coal. • Coal sales totaled approximately 522,000 tons and 1,060,000 tons for the quarter and six months ended June 30,2009, respectively. Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was approximately $17,320,000 for an average revenue per ton sold of $33.20. Revenue for the six months ended June 30,2009 was approximately $35,292,000 for an average revenue per ton sold of $33.30. Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30,2009 was approximately $17,020,000 for an average cost per ton sold of $32.62. Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30,2009 was approximately $31,763,000 for an average cost per ton sold of $29.97.

Phoenix Coal Inc. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three and Six Months Ended June 30,2009 For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company’s net loss was approximately $44,801,000 and $52,436,000, respectively. These amounts include the write down of assets held for sale of $38,920,000 described in the Sale of Surface Mining Assets section below. Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $7,673,000, which included $5,821,000 of new equipment that was financed through term loans. At June 30, 2009, the Company had approximately $20,774,000 in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Results of Operations Sale of Surface Mining Assets Subsequent to the end of the second quarter 2009, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with a privately owned coal producer to sell substantially all of the operating assets and operations, including coal reserves, mining property, plant and equipment, mining rights, coal purchase contracts and coal sales contracts associated with its surface coal mining operations in Western Kentucky. The consideration which will be received upon closing includes $5.7 million in cash, assumption by the purchaser of all debt associated with the equipment being sold and the assumption of certain reclamation liabilities related to the coal reserves. In addition, the purchaser will replace the Company’s letters of credit for assumed reclamation obligations, which, upon transfer of the active mining permits, will release the restrictions on approximately $5.8 million of restricted cash and certificates of deposit The Company can potentially receive an additional $1.0 million, upon satisfaction of certain post-closing obligations. The closing of the transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including closing conditions related to satisfying the purchaser as to the size and quality of the coal reserves. Effective June 30, 2009, the property, plant and equipment, mining rights, mine development costs and mineral reserves being sold have been written down to the amount expected to be realized on sale, namely the cash to be received plus the amount of the liabilities being assumed by the purchaser on closing, less costs to sell. This resulted in a write down of assets held for sale in the amount of $38,920,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2009. Production On January 26, 2009, a devastating ice storm hit Western Kentucky, destroying electrical infrastructure and seriously crippling the area. Consequently, the Company lost approximately 50,000 to 60,000 tons of production because of the loss of power and inability to access its mine sites. Heavy rainfall during the second quarter 2009 delayed mining as water had to be pumped from the coal pits. April rainfall was 34% higher than average for the month, and May was 29% higher according to data published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. For the first half of 2009, production from Phoenix’s owned mines came from six sources — Briar Hill, Radio Hill, Back in Black, KO, Jessup, and Beech Creek. The closing of the Beech Creek mine and subsequent opening of the KO mine negatively impacted production as a mine at full production was replaced by a mine in its early stages of production during the second quarter 2009. In addition, Back in Black encountered productivity problems due to old works and short pit length. The Graham #5 and Stony Point mines (producing a combined 169,550 tons for the quarter ended June 30,2008) were depleted during 2008 while Beech Creek mined out in April 2009 after producing 24,393 tons and 134,094 tons for the second quarter and the six months ended June 30,2009, respectively.

Phoenix Coal Inc. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three and Six Months Ended June 30,2009 The following table summarizes the production from Phoenix’s owned mines during the quarter and six months ended June 30,2009 versus comparable time periods in the prior year.

These two mines produced a total of 296,154 tons for the quarter ended June 30,2009, a 59,568 ton increase over the 236,586 tons produced for the quarter ended June 30,2008. Production at this location increased 25% and 24% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. Water inflow from portions of Radio Hill’s overburden decreased during the quarter, contributing to the production increase at this location. The Back in Black mine produced 42,583 tons in the quarter ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of 23,022 tons from 65,605 produced tons for the similar period in 2008. The mine had been idled for eight months after it had mined through its permit area in June 2008 and resumed production in February 2009. In the second quarter 2009, Back in Black encountered old works in the west end of its pit creating a shorter, less productive pit length. These conditions, coupled with permit boundary restrictions, constrained the space available for overburden removal. As a result, additional trucks and manpower were deployed to haul spoil to an old pit to provide relief, generating increases in diesel fuel consumption and labor hours. In July 2009, manpower was redeployed to another section of the mine with lower stripping ratios, in an effort to increase production at this location. KO mine was originally scheduled to begin production in March 2009, but was delayed until late May due to permit issues. As production began, mining was slow as a mud slip and an eighteen inch parting were encountered limiting production to 25,162 tons in the quarter ended June 30,2009. The mud slip is no longer present and coal quality is improving as the parting in the seam is drier and more friable, creating less contamination as the coal is mined. The Jessup mine had its highest productivity month, producing 21,882 tons in May 2009 and 61,852 tons for the quarter ended June 30,2009, making Jessup the second highest producing mine for the second quarter 2009. Purchased Coal First quarter 2008 was Covol’s first full quarter of operation after acquiring the Rock Crusher preparation plant and slurry reserves from the Company at the end of November 2007. Production was slow to start due to inclement weather, start-up issues and downtime related to initial capital improvements. During the second quarter 2008, production increased to nearly 10,000 tons per month. By the end of 2008, Covol had finished construction on its new preparation plant and modifications on the Rock Crusher plant setting me stage for higher production in 2009. Consequently, Covol continued to improve production and quality during the first half 2009 with the second quarter being the most productive quarter since the commencement of operations.

Phoenix Coal Inc. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three and Six Months Ended June 30,2009 Prior to the acquisition of C&R at the end of July 2008, the Company managed the Beech Creek property on behalf of C&R and purchased the production from the mine. During the first quarter 2008, the Company developed the mine area for the Beech Creek South permit, which had limited production at the outset. However, after developing a longer, more efficient pit length and acquiring new equipment, the second quarter 2008 production improved to where the Company purchased over 140,000 tons from C&R. The following table summarizes the purchased coal, including C&R, during the second quarter and six months ended June 30,2009 versus similar periods in the prior year. Q2 Q2 YTD 6/30 YTD 6/30 2009 2008 Varianc 2009 2008 Variance Covol 82,878 29,269 53,609 135,843 36,776 99,067 C&R Coal — 140,496 (140,496) — 159,639 I (159,639) Totaf 82,878 l69,765 (86,887) 135,843 196,415 (60,572) In June 2009, the Company entered into a coal supply agreement with an Illinois Basin producer to purchase 20,000 tons of coal per month from July 2009 through December 2009 at a purchase price of $39.00 per ton. Upon mutual agreement of the parties to the coal supply agreement, the term of the agreement may be extended to December 31, 2010. This coal is a higher BTU product than the Company currently produces from its operations. Blending this coal with the Company’s coal will reduce the amount of coal that the Company will have to wash from its own operations. Revenue The Company primarily derives its revenue from coal sales to electric utility companies. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company’s revenue decreased by 19% to $17,320,379 from $21,326,102 in the prior year comparative three month period. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, Phoenix’s revenue decreased by 11% to $35,292,271 from $39,821,562 in the prior year six month period. For the three month periods ended June 30, tons sold decreased 19% from 646,000 tons in 2008 to 522,000 tons in 2009. For the six month periods ended June 30, sold tons decreased 12% from 1.2 million tons in 2008 to 1.1 million tons in 2009. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to a decrease in sales volume due to the year over year reductions in produced and purchased coal previously discussed. For the six months ended June 30,2009, average revenue per ton sold increased to $3330 from $33.02 in the same period in 2008. The increase of $0.28 per ton resulted from shipments on several sales contracts which transitioned to 2009 contract pricing after fulfilling 2008 contract commitments. Additionally, due to renegotiating a change in quality specifications with two customers, and deferring tons shipped to another customer with a higher quality requirement into 2010, the Company was able to ship a higher percentage of its sales on contracts which currently provide the highest base price realization of all its sales contracts. Conversely, due to the depletion of the Beech Creek mine, overall BTU quality decreased, reducing the revenue per ton realized by the Company on several of its sales contracts and thus offsetting any of the increase discussed above. Cost of Sales Cost of sales consists of all mining related expenses, preparation costs, transportation costs and purchased coal before depreciation and amortization. Diesel fuel had the largest cost decrease during the second quarter 2009 compared to the second quarter 2008. On a cost per ton produced basis, diesel fuel cost was $5.44 in the second quarter 2009 compared to $9.10 in the second quarter 2008, a $3.66 or 40% decrease. Fuel costs decreased from an average of $3.83 per gallon to an average of $2.02 per gallon in the quarter ended June 30,2008 versus 2009. Year

Phoenix Coal Inc. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three and Sis Months Ended June 30,2009 over year, diesel fuel cost decreased $3,629,014 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 due primarily to a $1.38 decrease in the per gallon fuel cost from $3.39 in 2008 to $2.01 for the same period in 2009. Labor and benefits increased 20% from $3,854,407 in the second quarter 2008 to $4,643,217 in the second quarter 2009. Cost per ton produced increased from $8.17 in the second quarter 2008 to $10.31 in the second quarter 2009. Man hours worked increased for the quarter ended June 30,2009 primarily due to the excess rainfall and production delays at the KO and Back in Black mines previously discussed. Purchased coal, a variable cost, accounted for approximately 12% of the cost of sales in the second quarter 2009. For the quarter ended June 30,2009, purchased coal was $2,106,623 versus $5,346,762 for the same period in 2008. For the six monms ended June 30, 2009, purchased coal was $3,461,367 and $6,160,445 for the same period in 2008. Prior to its purchase of C&R in July 2008, Phoenix was purchasing coal from C&R, thus accounting for the significant cost differential year over year. The cost per ton purchased decreased from $31.49 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008 to $25.41 in 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the cost per ton purchased decreased from S31.36 in 2008 to $25.48 in 2009 In 2009, Covol provided all purchased coal, which was less expensive than the coal purchased from C&R in 2008. Maintenance costs for the second quarter ended June 30,2009 were $2,894,435 and $1,926,971 for the same period in 2008, an increase of $967,464. Cost per ton produced was $6.43 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009 and $4.08 for 2008, a 58% increase. Maintenance costs increased for the second quarter 2009 versus the second quarter 2008 due to shovel rebuild work performed that was not anticipated until 2010. Additionally, some older pieces of equipment utilized at Jessup required significant maintenance work during the second quarter 2009 as Jessup increased its production levels. Overall, the Company’s cost of sales decreased by 20% to $17,019,692 in the second quarter 2009 from $21,199,549 in the similar period for 2008. Comparing the same periods on a cost per ton sold basis, cost of sales was $32.62 versus $32.80. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, cost of sales decreased from $38,684,869 in 2008 to $31,763,409 in 2009. Cost per ton sold for the six months ended June 30,2009 was $29.97 compared to $32.07 in 2008 for a decrease of 7%. Selling. General and Administrative CSG&A”^ Expenses SG&A expenses primarily consist of royalty payments to surface and mineral owners, sales commissions, federal excise tax, severance tax, federal reclamation fee and corporate overhead costs in the Company’s Madisonville and Louisville offices. For tie three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company’s selling expenses were $1,852,362 versus $2,074,001 for the similar period in 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company’s selling expenses were $4,008,043 versus $4,144,935 for the same period in 2008. The Company’s selling costs (royalties and coal taxes described above) are variable with respect to coal sales and ranged from approximately 10% to 11% of coal sales for the above mentioned periods. General and administrative (“G&A”) costs in the second quarter 2009 were $2,004,939 compared to $3,813,178 during the similar period in 2008. The primary variance between the 2009 and 2008 quarters is a non-cash charge to employee share-based compensation, which was $6,000 in 2009 and $2,151,277 in 2008. Stock option forfeitures and a lower valuation of more recently issued options reduced share-based compensation expense in 2009, while the issuance of 6,847,000 options at a higher valuation significantly increased this expense in 2008. G&A costs for the six months ended June 30,2009 were $5,602,583 and $5,412,290 for the similar period in 2008. Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was $1,907,711 and $3,731,492, respectively, compared to $2,043,344 and $3,107,176, respectively, for the similar periods in 2008. Depreciation expense for the first six months of 2009 increased $1,013,919 when compared to the same period in

Phoenix Coal Inc. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three and Six Months Ended June 30,2009 2008. This increase in depreciation expense was primarily related to the significant investment in mining equipment in the fourth quarter 2007 and during the calendar year 2008. Interest Expense/Foreign Currency Adjustment Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was comprised primarily of interest paid on equipment financing. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, interest expense included (1) interest on the Company’s revolving line of credit, equipment financing, and short-term bridge financing and (2) non-cash costs which included accrued dividends on the preferred shares, accretion of the preferred share offering costs, accretion of loan costs on the short-term bridge financing, and mark to market on an interest rate swap. Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was $424,723 and $784,625, respectively. Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30,2008 was $2,765,589 and $5,124,968, respectively. Interest expense decreased year-over-year for both the quarter and year to date periods due primarily to the elimination of interest related costs on the preferred shares and the short-term bridge financing which were converted to common share equity in June 2008. The foreign currency loss of $103,710 for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and the foreign currency gain of $129,130 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was related to mark to market adjustments for the short-term bridge financing which was denominated in Canadian dollars. This financing was converted to common share equity in June 2008. Interest Income Interest income for the three months ended June 30,2009 and 2008 was $21,789 and $14,060, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 interest income was $98,478, compared to $26,721 for the comparable period in 2008. The year over year increase in interest income for both the quarter and six month periods was due to higher balances of cash and short-term investments as a result of the capital raised from the prospectus offering in June 2008. Interest income decreased in the first two quarters of 2009, compared to the third and fourth quarters of 2008 primarily due to historically low interest rates on United States Treasury bills, which is the primary investment vehicle utilized by the Company. Other Expense For the six months ended June 30,2008, the Company realized a loss on the sale of assets in the amount of $214,057 versus a loss of $1,730 for the comparable period in 2009. In 2008, the Company disposed of non-core property and equipment

Production During 2008, the Company operated the Briar Hill, Graham #5, Stony Point, Back in Black, Beech Creek and Jessup mines. The Stony Point mine effectively depleted at the end of February 2008, only producing approximately 24,500 tons from March through July 2008 while completing a required fece-up project for the lessor of the property. As at the beginning of June 2008, the Company had mined through its Back in Black mine permit area, and production at Back in Black was idled until the Company received the requisite permits for the adjacent property in the first quarter 2009. The equipment and manpower had been moved to Beech Creek to maintain similar Company-wide production levels. At the end of July 2008, the Company closed the acquisitions of C&R and Renfro, which added the Beech Creek and Jessup mines to the Company’s owned portfolio. The third quarter 2008 results were negatively impacted by a two-week vacation shutdown taken in August. Typically, vacation is scheduled for the end of June and the beginning of July, thus spreading the effect over the second and third quarters, not just one quarter. Fourth quarter production was negatively affected by depletion at Graham #5, which depleted in December, and Beech Creek which experienced declining production as it neared the end of its reserve life. These 2008 production losses were somewhat offset by Jessup, which produced nearly 43,000 tons in the fourth quarter 2008 as opposed to approximately 19,000 tons in the third quarter 2008. Please see the Results of Operations section for detail on 2009 production.

The declining trend in purchased coal from C&R from the second quarter 2008 to the third quarter 2008 is due to the acquisition and accounting for the tonnage from August and September as production and no longer as purchased coal. Since the first quarter 2008, the Company has been purchasing coal fines from Covol, whose production has trended upward through the second quarter 2009. The Company only purchased approximately 18,000 tons of coal fines in the fourth quarter 2008 because Covol was not able to meet quality specifications, which has been corrected in 2009. Due to a shortfall in its 2008 commitment to the Company, Covol agreed to make up 124,624 tons of coal that were not delivered in 2008 (the “2008 make-up tons”) beginning on April 1, 2009. The Company will pay a reduced price of $24.00 per ton instead of $25.50 per ton, until the 2008 make-up tons are completely delivered. Covol had supplied approximately 70% of its 2008 make up tons by June 30,2009.

Phoenix Coal Inc. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three and Six Months Ended June 30,2009 Revenue Revenue per ton sold growth in 2008 was due to contractual price increases on existing contracts and servicing new contracts with higher negotiated sales prices. The incremental revenue per ton sold realized in the third quarter 2008 was due to additional transportation and loading fees paid to the Company to ship coal to customers from alternate dock facilities during the Green River lock maintenance shutdown, which occurred in August and September. For the first three months of 2009, average revenue per ton sold increased to S33.40 from $33.11 in the fourth quarter of 2008. The increase of $0.29 per ton resulted from shipments on several sales contracts which transitioned to 2009 contract pricing after fulfilling 2008 contract commitments during the first quarter of 2009. Revenue declined in the second quarter 2009 to $33.20 per ton sold from the first quarter 2009 level of $33.40 per ton sold due to diesel fuel and BTU quality adjustments. During the first quarter 2009, on one of its customer contracts, the Company was compensated at a higher diesel fuel reimbursement rate while it was completing its 2008 contract obligations. As the 2008 contract obligations were fulfilled, the diesel fuel reimbursement was recalculated using 2009 diesel fuel pricing, creating a reduction in the diesel fuel reimbursement Additionally, due to the depletion of me Beech Creek mine, overall BTU quality decreased for the quarter, reducing the per ton revenue realization on several of the Company’s contracts. Cost of Sales The trend in cost of sales has primarily been impacted by maintenance costs and commodity costs. Since the beginning of the fourth quarter 2007, the Company has spent approximately $33,400,000 on new production equipment, which has increased productivity and lowered maintenance costs through the first quarter 2009. Rising commodity costs had a significant impact on the Company’s diesel fuel and explosives costs through the first three quarters of 2008. After the severe sell-off in commodities during the latter part of 2008, diesel fuel cost per gallon and ammonium nitrate fuel oil (“ANFO”) cost per hundred-weight trended downward through the first quarter of 2009. Diesel fuel and explosives, on a cost per ton produced basis, increased from the first quarter 2009 to the second quarter 2009 primarily due to the additional spoil hauling at the Back in Black mine and challenging mining conditions at the KO location. Additionally, the Jessup mine had to employ a restricted blasting pattern as it neared its permit line, thereby increasing its overall explosives cost. The following table summarizes the trend in diesel and ANFO/explosives costs through the second quarter 2009. Cost per ton produced Q2 ‘08 Q3’08 Q4’08 Q1;09 Q2’09 Diesel fuel $9.10 $8.38 $5.10 $4.39 $5.44 ANFO/Explosives 3.16 2.92 2.43 2.28 3.05 Total $ 12.26 $11.30 $7.53 $6.67 $8.49 Selling. General and Administrative Expenses During 2008, selling expenses, which include coal taxes and royalties, ranged from approximately 10% to 12% of coal sales. The Company does not pay coal taxes or royalties on purchased coal so selling expenses declined as a percentage of coal sales to approximately 10% during the second and third quarters of 2008 when purchased coal was at its highest for the year. During the third quarter, the Company started paying a $0.60 per ton sold overriding

Phoenix Coal Inc. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three and Six Months Ended June 30,2009 royalty to the owners of C&R as part of the acquisition agreement For the fourth quarter of 2008, selling expenses reached 12% of coal sales as approximately 97% of sales were sourced from the Company’s production and it was the first full quarter for paying the overriding royalty to C&R. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, selling expenses -were 11% of coal sales. The C&R overriding royalty of $0.60 per ton ceased in April 2009, as Beech Creek was depleted. General and administrative expenses have risen as the Company has hired more employees to fill various roles at the middle and senior management levels. The spike in G&A in the second quarter 2008 was because of a non-cash share-based compensation charge related to stock option issuances of $2,151,277. During the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009, the Company cancelled certain stock options that the Board of Directors and several officers voluntarily surrendered. This action accelerated the non-cash stock option expense related to these options and increased compensation expense by approximately $2,250,000 for the fourth quarter 2008 and $1,441,000 for the first quarter 2009. Liquidity and Capital Resources As at June 30,2009, the Company had $20,773,655 in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, compared to $40,626,316 as at December 31,2008. The Company also had restricted cash, cash equivalents and certificates of deposit as collateral for letters of credit for reclamation bonding in the amount of $12,517,297 as at June 30, 2009 versus $11,638,921 as at December 31,2008. The Company’s primary sources of cash include sales of coal production to customers, sales of non-core assets and financing transactions. The Company’s primary uses of cash include cash costs of coal production, capital expenditures, costs for development projects, debt service costs and costs related to reclamation obligations. The Company’s ability to continue to grow its business is dependent on its ability to continue to generate cash from its primary sources in excess of its primary uses. Operating Activities Cash used by operating activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was $3,003,436 and $7,659,492, respectively. The Company’s operating loss was the primary reason for the use of cash, which, for the six months ended June 30,2009, included the $3,000,000 payment to terminate a coal sales contract with one of its customers. Changes in non-cash operating assets and liabilities provided $888,388 of cash for the quarter ended June 30,2009, primarily resulting from a decrease in accounts receivable, as sales in the last half of June 2009 were lower than sales in the last half of March 2009. Trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased $1,773,144 for the six months ended June 30,2009 primarily due to an increase in purchased coal activity during this period. Investing Activities Investing activities resulted in a net cash decrease of $4,785,003 and $10,725,937 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. In the second quarter 2009, the Company invested $2,477,578 in short term certificates of deposit in order to increase the yield on its short term investments. Payments for mine development and mining rights of $1,182,983 and $1,720,693 for the three and six months ended June 30,2009, respectively, were primarily for development costs for the Radio Hill, KO, Back in Black, and Gryphon mines. The Company’s investing activities also included $3,307,259 incurred to acquire the Petersburg Coal sublease in the first quarter 2009. Capital expenditures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 were $1,720,315 and $7,672,731, respectively. For the six months ended June 30,2009, $5,821,290 was invested in three trucks, a dozer and a loader that were financed through term loans. The remaining $1,851,441 was primarily spent on the preparation plant at the Briar Hill mine, and costs for relocating the Company’s maintenance and administrative mine operations to a location centrally located to its Western Kentucky surface operations.

Phoenix Coal Inc. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three and Six Months Ended June 30,2009 Financing Activities Financing activities used cash of $2,115,250 and $4,445,400 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. The majority of the financing activities were payments on equipment financing and bank debt Coal Sales Contract Revisions As at June 30, 2009, the Company had coal sales contract commitments of approximately 5.3 million tons at a weighted average price of $34.65 that extend through 2012. As at the filing of the MD&A, the Company’s coal sales commitments before adjustments for BTU or transportation (if applicable in the contract) are detailed in the table below. The timing of the commitments is based on renegotiated contracts, proposed terms and preliminary discussions with customers about deferring some additional tonnage. Q3-04 2009 2010 2011 2012 Total Commitments (tons) 1,069,062 2,319,866 1,629,287 288,473 5,306,688 Avg. sales price $34.20 $34.90 $34.95 $32.66 $34.65% of 11,500 BTU contracts 49% 43% 54% 74% 49% Acquisitions Petersburg Coal Sublease In March 2009, the Company entered into a sublease agreement with Petersburg Coal, LLC (“Petersburg”) to sublease mineral reserves which are contiguous to its Gryphon Mining Complex, formerly known as the Pratt Mine. Under the terms of the sublease, the Company paid $3,000,000 at closing, assumed $192,178 in liabilities, and will pay an additional $3,000,000 upon satisfactory completion of certain contingencies, including receipt of all required permits from Petersburg. The Company also incurred transaction costs related to the sublease of $115,081, bringing the total cost of the sublease to $6,307,259. A mineral reserve and mineral resource evaluation prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 (“NI43-101”) of the Gryphon Mining Complex was prepared as at April 1, 2009 by an independent geological and engineering consulting firm. Based on the report, at the Gryphon Mining Complex the Company controls 68.4 million tons of proven and probable coal mineral reserves, 3.7 million tons of underground measured and indicated coal resources, and 0.2 million tons of inferred coal resources. The costs of the sublease were allocated to the following identifiable assets: Prepaid royalties $172,413 Mining rights 6,134,846 $6^07,259 The Company is in the process of finalizing its valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for this sublease. The above allocations are preliminary estimates of fair value and may differ from the final allocation and the differences may be material. The Company will finalize the allocations within one year of the execution of the sublease.

Phoenix Coal Inc. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three and Six Months Ended June 30,2009 Outstanding Share Data As at August 14, 2009, the Company had 150,045,552 common shares issued and outstanding. In addition, there were 11,058,830 stock options, 33,239,283 warrants and 2,514,286 brokers options (which entitle the holder to purchase one common share and one half of one warrant) outstanding as at August 14,2009. If all options, warrants, and brokers* options (including the subsequent exercise of the warrants purchased) were exercised and issued, it would bring the fully diluted issued common shares to a total of 198,115,094, and would generate cash of approximately $74,000,000. Wim regard to the outstanding stock options, under the terms of the Company’s stock option plan, the sale of the surface mining assets and associated liabilities previously discussed could, depending on the final valuation of the sale, cause all options outstanding to become fully vested. Subsequent Events On July 28, 2009, the Company executed an amendment to a coal sales contract with one of its customers. Under the original terms of the contract, shipments to this customer were for 11,500 BTU quality coal and scheduled to be completed by December 31,2009. The amendment terms extend the period of time to fulfill the contracted tonnage shipments to December 31, 2012 and decrease the minimum BTU guarantee to 11,400 BTU for coal shipped in 2009 and 2010. Related Party Transactions The Company enters into transactions with shareholders and/or affiliated entities that have some level of common ownership with the Company. A summary of the related party transactions and balances follows for the six months ended June 30,2009 and 2008: Six Months Ended 2009 2008 Expenses: Consulting fees $ — $156,000 Rent and miscellaneous — 32,925 Accounts receivable — 16,858 Accounts payable — 3,741 The above expense amounts were paid to MHI Energy Partners, LLC, which amounts were applied towards, among other things, salaries, overhead and benefits for individuals who provided services. These transactions are also in the normal course of business, and are recorded at the consideration established and agreed to by the related parties. David Wiley and Timothy Fogarty were managing directors of MHI Energy Partners, LLC. David Wiley is currently an officer and director of the Company and Phoenix, and Tim Fogarty resigned as a director of Phoenix in September 2008. During the second quarter of 2008, the Company discontinued these payments to MHI. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities In the normal course of business, the Company makes various commitments and incurs certain contingent liabilities including liabilities related to asset retirement obligations and financial obligations in connection with mining permits that are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet The Company does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these transactions. In accordance with Kentucky state law, the Company is required to post reclamation bonds to assure that reclamation work is completed. Outstanding reclamation bonds related to surface mining operations totaled approximately $12.5 million as at June 30, 2009 and approximately $11.0 million as at December 31,2008. These bonds are secured by letters of credit or certificates of deposit issued by a bank equal to the amount of the outstanding reclamation bonds. The letters of credit are collateralized by the restricted cash and certificates of deposit on die consolidated balance sheet of $12,517,297 and 11,638,921 as at

Phoenix Coal Inc. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three and Six Months Ended June 30,2009 June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Pursuant to the surface mining operation sale detailed in note 2, approximately $5,849,000 of the Company’s cash-collateralized reclamation bonds will be replaced by the purchaser. As a result, as at June 30, 2009, the Company has classified $5,849,000 of the restricted cash and certificates of deposit as a current asset The Company leases certain office space under a long-term operating lease running through 2009. Future non-cancelable minimum lease commitments under this lease as at June 30, 2009, payable in 2009, totaled $114,597. This lease is not related to the surface mining operations held for sale. A significant amount of the Company’s surface and underground coal reserves are controlled through leasing arrangements and non-cancellable royalty lease agreements under which future minimum lease payments are due. In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contracts to purchase diesel fiiel from local suppliers for physical delivery at specified prices. Pursuant to these contracts, the Company does not own a futures or options position in the purchased fuel. As at, and subsequent to, June 30, 2009, the Company has executed purchase contracts for a total of 2,562,000 gallons to be delivered in 2009 and 2010 at a total cost of $5,672,407, or an average weighted price of $2.21 per gallon. These fuel contracts are exclusively related to the surface mining operations held for sale. In 2007, the Company entered into a master coal purchase and sale agreement (the “Master Agreement”) to purchase coal fines recovered and processed by Covol Fuels No. 2, LLC (“Covol”) from two coal slurry reserve areas in Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. On July 6, 2009 the Company executed an amendment to the Master Agreement (the “Amended Master Agreement”) revising the annual purchase and sale tonnage commitments. The term of the Amended Master Agreement runs through the exhaustion of the reserves (the ‘Term”). During the Term of the Amended Master Agreement, by July 1 of each year, the Company and Covol will agree to the annual tonnage commitment (the Xommitment”) that Covol will produce and that the Company will purchase for the next calendar year. For the calendar year 2010 the Commitment cannot be less than 360,000 tons and for subsequent years the Commitment cannot be less than 400,000 tons. The price to be paid by the Company for the coal fines is dependent on the price at which the fines are sold by the Company to its customer, but not less than $24.50 per ton. Additionally, the Company has the first right of refusal to purchase any tons produced by Covol in excess of the Commitment, but up to 720,000 tons annually. This Master Agreement is exclusively related to the surface mining operations held for sale. In June 2009, the Company entered into a coal supply agreement with an Illinois Basin producer to purchase 20,000 tons of coal per month from July 2009 through December 2009 at a purchase price of $39.00 per ton. Upon mutual agreement of the parties to the coal supply agreement, the term of the agreement may be extended to December 31, 2010. This coal supply agreement is exclusively related to the surface mining operations held for sale. As part of the Renfro Equipment Inc. acquisition in July 2008, the Company agreed that if, by July 31, 2010, it acquires at least 1.5 million reserve tons as defined by National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) due to the direct efforts of the sellers (“Additional Reserves”), the Company will pay the sellers $1,000,000 for the first 1.5 million tons of reserves, plus $0.50 per ton for each reserve ton in excess of 1.5 million. The acquisition closing documents define a specific territory from wh ich the Additional Reserves can be acquired. The acquisition of the Additional Reserves must be on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company in its sole, reasonable discretion. As at June 30,2009, the sellers had provided several mineral leases to the Company. However, the analysis and drilling that is required to qualify these properties as reserve tons under the definition of M 43-101 is in its early stages. Therefore, it is not yet probable that the sellers will deliver 1.5 million reserve tons to the Company, so no liability has been currently accrued on the consolidated balance sheet to the sellers. This commitment is exclusively related to the surface mining operations held for sale.

Phoenix Coal Inc. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three and Six Months Ended June 30,2009 Business Environment and Risks The Company’s operations are subject to the risks normally inherent in the operation and development of coal properties. There is no assurance of developing economic coal reserves in commercial quantities. Operational risks include weather, geologic anomalies, competition, potential transportation interruptions, a complex regulatory regime and environmental and safety concerns. Financial and liquidity risks include commodity price fluctuations, interest rates, and the costs of goods and services. The Company uses a variety of means to help minimize its business risks. The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below: Credit Risk: Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligation. The Company had invested approximately $15,630,000 of its cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash and investments) and short-term investments in a U.S. financial institution, which as at June 30, 2009, carried Standard and Poor’s investment ratings on their deposits of A-2 to BBB+. As at June 30, 2009, approximately $3,343,000 of the cash and cash equivalents balance was invested in a money market fund managed by this financial institution, which is guaranteed until September 18, 2009 by the U.S. Treasury Department under the Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits with this financial institution. The Company is also subject to credit risk from its trade accounts receivable. While economic factors can affect credit risk, the Company manages risk by providing credit terms on a case by case basis. Customers are primarily investment grade companies and quasi-governmental agencies. As a result, the Company has not experienced any instances of non-payment. The Company also invests in short-term investments issued by the United States government, such as Treasury bills and Treasury notes. Historically, these types of investments have been AAA rated, so the Company does not anticipate any risk related to default on these investments by the issuer. As at June 30, 2009, the total fair value of assets subject to credit risk, including cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash and investments), short-term investments, and trade accounts receivable is their carrying value of $36,579,666. Liquidity Risk; Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company manages its liquidity by ensuring that there is sufficient capital to meet short and long-term business requirements, after taking into account cash flows from operations and the Company’s holdings of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. The Company also strives to maintain sufficient financial liquidity at all times in order to participate in investment opportunities as they arise, as well as to withstand sudden adverse changes in economic circumstances. Management forecasts cash flows for its current and subsequent fiscal years to predict future financing requirements. Future requirements are met through a combination of credit commitments and access to capital markets. As at June 30, 2009, the Company had $20.8 million of cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments. Interest Rale Risk: Interest rate risk is the risk borne by an interest-bearing asset or liability as a result of fluctuations in interest rates. Financial assets and financial liabilities with variable interest rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. The Company’s most significant interest rate risk arises from its investments in marketable securities and cash equivalents. However, the matu rity on these instruments is generally less than ninety days, thereby mitigating the exposure to the impact of changing interest rates. The Company’s long-term debt consists of only fixed rate notes.

Phoenix Coal Inc. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three and Six Months Ended June 30,2009 Currency Risk The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar and the Company’s sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. As the Company operates in an international environment, some of the Company’s financial instruments and transactions are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The results of the Company’s operations are subject to currency transaction risk and currency translation risk. As at June 30, 2009, the Company had no material financial instruments that were denominated in non U.S. currencies. Critical Accounting Estimates The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada and, in preparing these statements, management must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The estimates and assumptions are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and are based on historical experience and current conditions. The use of other assumptions could result in different estimates, and actual results may vary from results based on these estimates. As events occur and additional information is obtained, these estimates may be subject to change. Estimates are deemed critical when the Company’s financial condition or results of operations could be materially impacted by a change in estimate. The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in note A of the Company’s December 2008 consolidated financial statements. The following is a discussion of the critical accounting estimates used to determine the financial results of the Company. Mining Rights. Mineral Reserves and Mine Development Mining rights, mineral properties and development assets include expenditures to acquire and develop mineral reserves, as well as development costs incurred to develop new reserves in advance of production. Depletion of producing properties, and amortization of mining rights and development costs, are based on units of production over the estimated proven and probable reserves of the respective coal properties. The determination of coal reserves requires a number of assumptions and estimates, including geological sampling and modeling as well as estimates of future coal prices and future production costs. Estimates of the reserves may change based on additional information obtained subsequent to the assessment date. This may include data obtained from exploration drilling, significant changes in the price of coal and changes in estimates of the cost of production. A change in the estimate of reserves could result in a change in the rate of depletion, development amortization, or impairment of the reserves, resulting in a write down. Mining rights and mine development are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. This impairment testing is based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows to be realized from the Company’s mining operations. These future cash flows are developed using assumptions mat reflect the long-term operating plans given management’s best estimate of future economic conditions, such as revenues, production costs, and reserve estimates. A change in these factors could result in a modification of the impairment calculation. Future Income Taxes The Company is subject to Canadian tax and U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state jurisdictions. The tax years 2005 tiirough 2008 remain open to examination for Canadian, U.S. federal income tax and various state income tax matters. The expense for income taxes includes federal and state income taxes currently payable and those deferred or prepaid because of temporary differences between the financial statement and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. As a result of losses from operations, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against its future tax assets as it does not believe it is more likely than not these assets will be realized. Should these tax assets be realized, the valuation allowance would be reduced accordingly.

Phoenix Coal Inc. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three and Six Months Ended June 30,2009 Asset Retirement Obligations The Company estimates its ARO liabilities for final reclamation and mine closure based upon detailed engineering calculations of the amount and timing of the future cash spending for a third party to perform the required work. Spending estimates are escalated for inflation and then discounted at the credit-adjusted risk-free rate. The Company records an ARO asset associated with the discounted liability for final reclamation and mine closure. The obligation and corresponding asset are recognized in the period in which the liability is incurred. The ARO asset is amortized on the units-of-production method and the ARO liability is accreted to the projected spending date. As changes in estimates occur (such as mine plan revisions, changes in estimated costs or changes in timing of the performance of reclamation activities), the revisions to the obligation and asset are recognized at the appropriate credit-adjusted risk-free rate. The Company also recognizes an obligation for contemporaneous reclamation liabilities incurred as a result of surface mining. Contemporaneous reclamation consists primarily of grading, topsoil replacement, and revegetation of backfilled pit areas. A progression of the asset retirement obligations recorded on the consolidated balance sheet is as follows: Total asset retirement obligations as at December 31,2007 $ 3,757,353 Liabilities acquired 1,131,000 Liabilities incurred 166,083 Accretion 189,132 Liabilities settled (919,568) Total asset retirement obligations as at December 31,2008 4324,000 Liabilities incurred 670,000 Accretion 146,805 Liabilities settled (214,754) Total asset retirement obligations as at June 30,2009 4,926,051 Less current portion 2,300,000 Less asset retirement obligations associated with assets held for sale 2,587,981 $38,070 Share-Based Compensation Compensation cost attributable to all share options granted is measured at fair-value at the grant date using the Black-Scholes model and expensed over the vesting period with a corresponding increase to stock options and warrants in shareholders’ equity. In determining the fair value, the Company makes estimates for expected volatility of the shares as well as an estimated discount rate. Changes to these estimates could result in the Mr-value of the share-based compensation to be less than or greater than the amount recorded, Initial Adoption and Changes In Accounting Policies All accounting policies adopted by the Company are in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The following financial reporting standards are applicable to the Company in 2009. New Accounting Policies Goodwill and Intangible Assets: The CICA has issued a new standard, CICA Section 3064, Goodwill and Intangible assets, which establishes revised standards for recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill and intangible assets and is effective January 1, 2009. Concurrent with the introduction of this standard, the CICA withdrew EIC-27, Revenues and Expenses during the pre-operating period. This standard has had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Phoenix Coal Inc. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three and Six Months Ended June 30,2009 Financial Instruments: The Emerging Issues Committee (“EIC”) has issued EIC-173, Credit Risk and the Fair Value of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which clarifies the application of credit risk when determining the fair value of financial assets and liabilities. EIC-173 is effective for interim and annual financial statements for periods ending on or after January 20, 2009. This standard has had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Mining Exploration Costs: The EIC has issued EIC-174, Mining Exploration Costs, which discusses the circumstances under which exploration costs may be capitalized. Additionally, EIC-174 clarifies the timing for testing capitalized exploration costs for impairment. EIC-174 is effective for interim and annual financial statements issued after March 27,2009. This standard has had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Future Accounting Changes International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”): In 2006, the Canadian Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) published a new strategic plan that will significantly affect financial reporting requirements for Canadian companies. In February 2008, the AcSB announced that Canadian GAAP for publicly accountable enterprises will be converged with IFRS effective in calendar year 2011. The Company will adopt IFRS for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2011, with restatement for comparative purposes of amounts reported by the Company for the fiscal year beginning January 1,2010. The Company is currently in the planning phase of the conversion, which includes identifying potential differences between GAAP and existing IFRS as at June 30, 2009, as well as proposed IFRS which may be in effect in 2011. The Company is utilizing both internal and external resources to identify and ultimately quantify these differences and the impact that they will have on accounting policies, information technology and data systems, internal control over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures, financial reporting, and business activities. Employees responsible for financial reporting have attended IFRS training, have begun IFRS accounting policy development, and initiated development of an IFRS project timeline Quantification of GAAP and IFRS differences has not yet been determined due to the need to evaluate internal data and make final policy choices and elections. Reclassiflcations: Certain of the 2008 figures have been reclassified to conform to the 2009 financial statement presentatioa Disclosure Controls and Procedures Disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, an evaluation was commissioned by the Company under the supervision of the CEO and CFO and with the participation of management of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined under the rules adopted by the Canadian securities regulatory authorities. Based on this evaluation, and that there have been no material changes in disclosure controls and procedures in 2009, the Company’s CEO and CFO have concluded as at June 30, 2009, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures provide reasonable assurance that material information related to the Company is made known to them for disclosure in these financial statements. It should be noted that while the Company’s CEO and CFO believe that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures provide a reasonable level of assurance that they are effective, they do not expect that the dis closure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met

Phoenix Coal Inc. Management’s Discussion and Analysis Three and Six Months Ended June 30,2009 Internal Controls over Financial Reporting Internal controls over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Canada. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting appropriate to the nature and size of the business to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting for the Company. However, any system of internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations and can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. The Company uses the COSO control framework. For the fiscal year ended December 31,2008, an evaluation was commissioned by the Company under the supervision of the CEO and CFO and with the participation of management of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, and that there have been no material changes in internal controls over financial reporting in 2009, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the design and operation of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were effective as at June 30, 2009. Management is continually monitoring and revising its control procedures and processes. Due to the size of its finance staff, there is not complete segregation of duties in the Company. However, for more complex areas of accounting and accounting estimates, the CFO and Controller review each other’s work.
