Industry
Competition
The United States coal industry is highly competitive with numerous producers in all coal producing regions. The company competes with other large producers and hundreds of small producers in the United States. The largest coal company is estimated to have sold less than 15% of the total 1998 tonnage sold in the United States market. The company competes with other coal producers primarily on the basis of coal price at the mine, coal quality (including sulfur content), transportation cost from the mine to the customer and the reliability of supply. Continued demand for the company's coal and the prices that the company obtains are also affected by demand for electricity, environmental and government regulations, technological developments and the availability and price of alternative fuel supplies, including nuclear, natural gas, oil and hydroelectric power.
Business
Plan
The company's business strategy is to increase their profitability and to maximize the company's distributions to unitholders by: (i) continuing to make productivity improvements in order to be a low-cost producer in each region in which the company operates; (ii) offering their customers a broad range of coal qualities, transportation alternatives and customized services; (iii) extending the lives of the company's mines through the development of currently undeveloped coal reserves using the company's existing infrastructure; (iv) developing new mining complexes in locations with attractive market conditions; (v) engaging in strategic acquisitions of mining operations and reserves; and (vi) developing strategic relationships to take advantage of opportunities created by the deregulation of the electric utility industry.
