UK COAL PLC Interim Report for the Period Ended 30 June 2008 Interim Report 2 0 0 8 UK COAL PLC Interim Report for the period ended 30 June 2008 Interim Report 2 0 0 8 MINING AND POWER HARWORTH ESTATES BRITAIN’S BIGGEST PRODUCER OF COAL, UK COAL SUPPLIES AROUND 15% OF ALL THE COAL BURNED IN THE COUNTRY, WHICH IS EQUIVALENT TO THE ENERGY NEEDED TO PROVIDE AROUND 5% OF THE COUNTRY’S ELECTRICITY REQUIREMENTS. ONE OF BRITAIN’S LARGEST BROWNFIELD SITE PROPERTY DEVELOPERS, UK COAL OWNS A SUBSTANTIAL LAND PORTFOLIO, WHICH HAS MAJOR POTENTIAL FOR REDEVELOPMENT. MINING AND POWER DEEP MINING The Group operates 4 deep mines, located in Central and Northern England. The Group has reserves and resources of over 100 million tonnes at these mines. SURFACE MINING At 30 June 2008, the Group had 5 active surface mines and planning consent to mine a further site. The Group has applied for planning consents for a further 5 mines and expects to make applications for a further 4 sites during 2008. Total surface mining reserves available for planning are estimated at approximately 97 million tonnes. MINES METHANE UK COAL has 29 MW of electrical power generation capacity, utilising waste gas from mines. WIND POWER UK COAL is actively pursuing the development of alternative power generation opportunities, including wind farms, and has recently acquired planning consent for its first 9 MW wind farm. UK COAL owns some 46,500 acres (18,818 hectares) of predominantly agricultural land. Within this, some 3,696 net acres have been identified as offering prime prospects for development into a mix of residential, business park, distribution and community developments over the medium to longer term. At 30 June 2008, the Group’s property interests, excluding the deep mine sites, had a current open market value of £438 million.

They also demonstrate the changing financial profile of our business as higher coal prices now start to deliver increased cash flows and we progressively reduce the proportion of our production needed to fulfil low-priced, legacy contracts. We lay primary emphasis upon safety, and I am pleased to say we have made good progress in reinforcing the safety culture of our Group. We are especially pleased with a reduction in the major injury/fatality accident rate in the deep mines from 3.3 per DAVID JONES 100,000 manshifts in 2007 to 1.7. On behalf of the Board I Chairman would like to thank all of our employees for their dedication, not just on safety matters, but for the progress made within our operations. We are very fortunate in having a very skilled workforce with tremendous belief in our businesses. Group revenue has increased 18.3% to £172.9 million during These results demonstrate the first half of the year, reflecting the higher average realised coal sales price, which rose 17.8% to £1.79 per gigajoule (GJ) “the changing financial profile of compared with £1.52/GJ for the same period in 2007. In mining, our first half output was proportionately more our business as higher coal prices committed to satisfying older contracts, muting the positive impact of the increased market price for coal. In addition, first now start to deliver increased half production was constrained and was marginally lower than original expectations, principally reflecting the timing of face cash flows. changes at Kellingley and Welbeck. For the second half, while there may always be unpredictabilities, we expect significantly higher production at a significantly higher sales price. ” Our surface mines performed well, increasing production in the first half by 28.5% to 0.9 million tonnes (H1 2007: 0.7 million tonnes). While the increased market value of coal is highly positive to the business, cost inflation, in particular in other fuel and steel prices, is affecting our businesses. Diesel fuel is a significant element of surface mine operating costs and overall performance in the period was affected by increases in its cost. The sharp increase and long term outlook for the price of “red diesel” has also led us to review the provisions required for the restoration of surface mine sites over the next 3-5 years, and for us to make an exceptional charge to the income statement of £5.6 million. In our property business, Harworth Estates, we are differentiated from others in the sector as our property portfolio is at an early stage in its development life, with milestone planning gains, some rental appreciation and the good performance of agricultural land values in the period more than offsetting We were pleased to receive planning approval from the Local current general property market conditions.

I must thank Dr. Alain Saint-Saens for his generous encouragement and advice concerning not only graduate work but the historian's profession in general; also Dr. Joseph Byrnes for so kindly serving on my committee at such short notice. To Dr. Ron Petrin I extend my heartfelt appreciation for his unflagging concern for my academic progress; our relationship has been especially rewarding on both an academic and personal level. In particular I would like to thank my friend and mentor, Dr. Paul Bischoff who has guided my explorations of the medieval world and its denizens. His dogged--and occasionally successful--efforts to develop my skills are directly responsible for whatever small progress I may have made as an historian. To my friends and fellow teaching assistants I extend warmest thanks for making the past two years so enjoyable. For the many hours of comradeship and mutual sympathy over the trials and tribulations of life as a teaching assistant I thank Wendy Gunderson, Sandy Unruh, Deidre Myers, Russ Overton, Peter Kraemer, and Kelly McDaniels.

    RESEARCH AGENDA INDUSTRIAL ARCHAEOLOGY by Helen Gomersall This document is one of a series designed to enable our stakeholders and all those affected by our advice and recommendations to understand the basis on which we have taken a particular view in specific cases. It is also a means by which others can check that our recommendations are justifiable in terms of the current understanding of West Yorkshire s Historic Environment, and are being consistently applied. As the document is based upon current information, it is anticipated that future discoveries and reassessments will lead to modifications. If any readers wish to comment on the content, the Advisory Service will be glad to take their views into account when developing further versions.

INTRODUCTION 1.1 This paper is intended to give a brief overview of the current state of the publicly-accessible resource available for the study of Industrial Archaeology within West Yorkshire (that portion of the old West Riding which formed a Metropolitan County Council between 1972 and 1986), and to frame suggestions for further lines of directed research in the area. Within this context, the definition of Industrial Archaeology is based on the current practice of the West Yorkshire Archaeology Service Advisory Service. Industrial Archaeology is therefore defined as the study of the physical remains of all aspects of anthropogenic activity for the period 1700-1950, with an emphasis on the development and use of technology and manufacture.
