 *  The production level of coal at the Company has been greater than the demand for coal
    at Muskingum River Plant, which has created a raw coal stockpile.
**  In connection with its strip-mining operations,  the Company defers, as an element of
    inventory,  costs  of removing  over-burden.  Such deferred costs  will be charged to
    expense as the uncovered coal is mined and sold.
