              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               September 30, 1994


Note A - Basis for Presentation

       The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for
a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1994.  For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10K for the year ended
December 31, 1993.


Note B - Long-Term Debt

       In the second quarter, the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries,
Eighty-Four Mining Company and Lucerne Land Company (the Borrowers), entered
into a credit agreement with four banks to provide for revolving credit notes
totaling $50,000,000 and a note agreement with institutional lenders to provide
for $35,000,000 in senior fixed rate construction notes in order to finance the
project costs of rehabilitating, constructing and developing Mine No. 84.

       The notes are secured by all of the properties of the Borrowers and
investment securities of the Company having a market value of $25,000,000.  The
Parent Company has guaranteed the indebtedness, and along with the Borrowers is
subject to numerous financial covenants and restrictions regarding earnings,
cash flows, financial position, and dividends.

       The senior fixed rate construction notes will convert to term notes by
September 30, 1997 and will be payable at $750,000 per quarter in 1999 and
$2,000,000 per quarter in 2000 through 2003.  Borrowings are subject to
interest at rates in effect at the date the loans are made and a commitment fee
on the amount of loans not yet made.  Interest would be increased in the event
of default.  As of September 30, 1994, $35,000,000 had been borrowed under
these notes, at a fixed rate of 10.37%.
<PAGE>   6
       The revolving credit notes provide for up to $50,000,000 in borrowings
with quarterly mandatory reductions of $5,500,000 beginning December 31, 1997
through September 30, 1999 and $6,000,000 on December 31, 1999.  Borrowings are
subject to interest based on the banks' prime rate or on a LIBOR based rate, at
the option of the Borrowers.  In addition, commitment fees are payable on the
unused portion of the commitment.  As of September 30, 1994, no amounts have
been borrowed under the revolver.

       Interest on these borrowings through September 30, 1994 was $677,000
which has been capitalized as part of the development costs of Mine No. 84.

                               September 30, 1994




         The following is Management's discussion and analysis of certain
significant factors which have affected the Company's (1) earnings during the
periods included in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of
Income and (2) financial position since December 31, 1993:


Results of Operations
- ---------------------
         A substantial portion of the Company's sales revenue is derived
through sales made by subsidiaries under two long-term coal sales agreements.
Sales prices are based on the cost of production plus profit determined under
formulas providing for incentives for reduced costs.

         Current quarter and year to date production and sales tonnage for 1994
have increased over the volumes for the same periods for 1993, which were
adversely affected by the UMWA coal strike which lasted from May 25, 1993 until
December 16, 1993.  The effect of the strike continued into 1994 by delaying
the timely start-up of two new mines, development of new areas in a third mine,
and the installation of a portal facility at an existing mine.  The inability
to have these facilities efficiently operating as scheduled has resulted in
reduced production and increased costs in 1994.  The record setting cold
temperatures and heavy snowfall during the first quarter created many weather
related outages and caused abnormally high absenteeism.  In addition,
unfavorable mining conditions have been encountered at the Keystone Coal Mining
Corporation subsidiary adversely affecting costs and profitability.  Keystone
has also experienced delays in implementing new continuous haulage systems
designed to improve productivity.  These systems are currently being modified
and are expected to be fully operational in the first quarter of 1995.
Management is implementing various other measures to increase productivity and
reduce costs.  Keystone's coal deliveries have been limited by downtime
experienced in conjunction with major modifications to its coal cleaning plant.
This situation has reduced sales and has significantly increased inventory
levels and related costs of financing and handling the inventory.  Installation
of additional new equipment and refinements to the cleaning plant circuitry
will continue into the fourth quarter.

         Interest and dividend income decreased in 1994 due to lower average
amounts invested as a result of the utilization of internally generated funds
for the rehabilitation and development of the Eighty-Four Mining Company
subsidiary's mine.  The increase in miscellaneous income was primarily due to
revenue from option agreements to sell certain idle properties.

         Selling, general, and administrative and miscellaneous expenses
declined in 1994 as a result of cost reduction programs implemented in 1993.
Interest expense was higher in 1994 than in 1993 due to: (1) higher prime
interest rates; and, (2) increased amounts borrowed primarily to fund
receivables which were deferred during the strike in accordance with the terms
of Keystone's long-term coal supply agreement and to finance the buildup of
inventory in the third quarter.

         As previously reported, income before income taxes for the first
quarter of 1993 was reduced by a charge for the entire past service liability
for retiree

medical and life insurance benefits for certain operations with limited
projected future activity.

         The Company's effective tax rate was 53% for the third quarter and 41%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1994.  However, the year to date
effective rate for 1994 would have been 54% exclusive of adjustments recorded
in the second quarter relating to (1) prior years and (2) a decrease in the
Pennsylvania state income tax rate.  The increase in the effective tax rate
over statutory tax rates results from the temporary differences between
financial and income tax reporting created principally by Eighty-Four Mining
Company's mine development expenditures and the limited ability to carryback or
carryforward tax deductions in excess of current year income for Pennsylvania
income tax reporting purposes.  In addition, these excess deductions cannot be
offset against state taxable income of other subsidiaries.  Federal and
Pennsylvania deferred tax liabilities are required to be provided for these
expenditures even though no benefit is being realized for Pennsylvania income
tax reporting.   These higher effective income tax rates are expected to
continue through 1996 when Eighty-Four's mine development will be substantially
completed.

         The rehabilitation and development of Eighty-Four Mining Company
operations, which are expected to more than double the present annual
production capacity of the Company, are projected to continue into 1997.  Thus,
costs incurred net of sales revenue from coal produced incidental to
development will continue to be capitalized.  Such amounts are projected to
total $100 million through 1996.

         The Company's subsidiary, Helvetia Coal Company, and the Homer City
Station Owners have executed a Letter of Intent outlining terms for a new
fixed-price coal sales agreement which will replace the existing agreement to
supply coal to the Homer City Generating Station.  The parties are close to
concluding a definitive agreement to be effective  January 1, 1995 based on the
Letter of Intent.  The new agreement will provide for total deliveries by
Helvetia of approximately 14 million tons through 2003 at an initial rate of
1.8 million tons per year.



Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
         The increase in the Company's working capital at September 30, 1994
was the result of (1) increases in coal inventories at Keystone which have been
funded with additional borrowings under its credit agreements and (2)
borrowings of $17.5 million each in May and September in conjunction with
Eighty-Four Mining Company's financing of which a portion, due to be spent on
fourth quarter mine development, remained in cash at September 30.

         Keystone's and Helvetia's credit agreements provide for combined
borrowings of $44 million.  Under terms of their existing long-term coal sales
agreements, Keystone's and Helvetia's debts are to be repaid from funds
generated by depreciation and amortization.  As of September 30, 1994, a
combined total of $10.5 million of additional funds were available under the
respective debt agreements.  Keystone is currently planning for an additional
line of credit based on its working capital needs brought about by the increase
in coal inventory.  Funding for Helvetia, which is developing a new mine, will
be provided by either new debt or the utilization of internal funds.
