         NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             June 30, 1996


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.  Certain accounts in the
consolidated condensed financial statements for prior years have been
reclassified to conform to the statement presentation for the current year.  
These reclassifications have no effect on net income.  Operating results for 
the six month period ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of 
the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1996.  
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, 1995.

      Certain accounts previously reflected in the consolidated Balance 
Sheets as "funding for other postretirement benefits" have been included in 
"investments in marketable securities" at June 30, 1996.  Until such funding 
is deposited into restricted plan assets, it is available for general 
corporate cash requirements.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
                   OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL POSITION
                             June 30, 1996


      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, 1995:


Results of Operations
- ---------------------

      In the second quarter of 1996, the Company's subsidiaries,
Keystone Coal Mining Corporation (Keystone) and Helvetia Coal Company 
(Helvetia), continued to record better results than in the
corresponding quarter of 1995.  As previously reported, in 1995 the
Keystone operations were adversely impacted by problems encountered
with major modifications to its coal cleaning plant, poor geological 
conditions, and low productivity at several of its mines.  Keystone 
closed three of its low productivity mines at the end of 1995 and each 
of its remaining three mines have had productivity improvements from the 
prior year.  Keystone's current results have also benefitted from the 
favorable effect of decreasing coal inventories under the pricing 
provisions of its coal supply agreement and its ability to purchase coal 
from third party suppliers for delivery to its customers.  For the quarter 
and six months ended June 30, 1996, Keystone's income before taxes was 
$1.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively, as compared to losses of 
$4.8 million and $9.5 million, respectively, for the corresponding 
periods in 1995.  Helvetia's Marshall Run mine, which was in the 
development stage through May 1995, continued to perform well in the 
second quarter of 1996.  As a result, Helvetia recorded a pretax loss of 
approximately $350,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared 
to a loss of $1.7 million for the first six months of 1995.

      Development of Eighty-Four Mining Company's mine is continuing.  
In the second quarter, increased development costs were incurred due to 
localized geological conditions encountered near the end of a longwall 
panel.  These conditions caused a short delay in relocating the longwall 
to the principal area of the mine where it commenced operations in late 
July.  The mine is expected to be fully operational in the second quarter 
of 1997 when a second longwall mining unit is installed.  Emphasis is being 
placed on increasing production of continuous mining sections which are
preparing for future longwall mining in order to minimize or eliminate 
delays in moving the longwall.  Eighty-Four's results, other than its 
provision for income taxes, are not included in the accompanying 
Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income because it is in the 
development stage.

      The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996, 
were favorably affected by the completion of the sale of two refuse piles 
in February, 1996, which resulted in a gain, before taxes, of $6.575 million.

   
<PAGE> 10
      
      Interest and dividend income increased due to higher amounts invested. 
Interest expense was lower in 1996 than in 1995 due to lower interest rates 
and decreased amounts borrowed by Keystone as a result of the reduction of 
its coal inventories to normal levels and positive cash flow from operations.
Interest expense incurred by Eighty-Four is being capitalized due to the 
mine being in development.

      Depreciation, depletion, and amortization increased in the first six 
months of 1996 compared to the first half of 1995 due to higher production 
levels in 1996 and the inclusion of depreciation expense for Helvetia's 
Marshall Run mine, which was in development through May, 1995.

      The Company's effective tax rate for 1996 and 1995 varies from the 
normal expected rate due to higher income tax provisions being recorded for
Eighty-Four.  The higher effective income tax rates are expected to continue
through 1996.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

      Working capital at June 30, 1996 was $39 million compared to 
$42 million at December 31, 1995 and the current ratios were 2.1 to 1 
and 2.25 to 1, respectively.  

      At June 30, 1996, $19.8 million was available under Keystone's credit 
facilities and $3 million remained to be borrowed under Eighty-Four's 
$85 million credit facility.  Operating projections indicate the need for 
approximately $25 million in additional funding to complete development of 
Mine No. 84.  The Company will utilize internally generated funds in order 
to meet a portion of these requirements and Eighty-Four plans to secure 
additional permanent financing for the balance.  A second longwall system, 
to be delivered and operational in 1997, will be leased.
