Vectren Fuels Acquisition [Abstract]

Vectren Fuels Acquisition

(2)  Vectren Fuels Acquisition 

On August 29, 2014, we consummated the acquisition of all the common stock of Vectren Fuels, Inc. (VFI) for $311 million, which was accounted for as a business acquisition requiring measurement of acquired assets and assumed liabilities at their estimated fair value in applying purchase accounting.  The estimated fair values are based on market participant assumptions.  The acquisition was financed through a new debt facility, and the preliminary purchase price allocation and use of proceeds from the new debt facility were as follows (assets not received or liabilities not assumed were retained by the parent company of VFI):

Assets received:
Accounts receivable	$	16,879
Coal inventory		21,484
Parts and supply inventory		13,180
Advance royalties		711
Prepaid expenses		701
Land and mineral rights		87,293
Mine development		37,485
Buildings and equipment		152,977
Total assets received		330,710
Liabilities assumed:
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		12,707
Asset retirement obligations		6,550
Total liabilities assumed		19,257
Total consideration paid for VFI	$	311,453

The initial purchase price was $319 million, which was adjusted downward by $8 million in November 2014 due to post closing adjustments.

The closing expenses include certain contract termination costs related to the termination of a contract post combination, which was to our benefit.

The acquisition generated $95 million of revenue and $19.7 million of pretax income since the August 29, 2014 acquisition date, and these amounts are included in our operations for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The following unaudited pro forma information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and assumes the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2013. The unaudited pro forma results have been prepared based on estimates and assumptions, which we believe are reasonable, however, they are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated results of operations had the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2013, or of future results of operations. VFI deal related costs of $9 million (including $1 million for the write off of deferred financing costs related to the old credit agreement) have been excluded from the pro forma amounts.
