1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 OVERVIEW The liberalization of markets has lead to record levels of international investments. Icon Group’s primary mission is to assist international managers to better plan and implement strategies in a global economy. It does so by providing various specialized industry reports, databases, publications and services to its clients. This report is one of many published by Icon Group Ltd. to assist executives and planners in monitoring and analyzing world markets. In addition to industry-specific studies, Icon Group Ltd.’s reports cover human resources management, export strategies, investment strategies, entry & marketing strategies, political and economic risk assessments and legal trends (e.g., intellectual property, licensing, and corruption). This report covers the world outlook for bituminous coal across 235 countries. For each year reported, the estimates are given for the latent demand for the country in question. Icon Group uses a number of proprietary econometric models which project economic changes within each country and across countries. From there, market potential estimates are created. The units used in this report are: US $ mln. As shown in the report, the market potential for bituminous coal is expected to reach $108,700.51 million by 2005. The distribution of the world market, however, will not be evenly distributed across regions. Europe will be the largest market with $39,945.41 million or 36.75 percent, followed by North America & the Caribbean with $29,209.20 million or 26.87 percent, and then Asia with $23,947.54 million or 22.03 percent of the world market. In essence, if a firm targets these top 3 regions, they cover come 85.65 percent of the world wide demand for bituminous coal.
1.2 MARKET POTENTIAL ESTIMATION METHODOLOGY Icon Group uses a number of methodologies to create market potential estimates for products and services across markets, whether at the level of a region, country, or city. In this report, two modelling approaches are used. The first involves modelling the economic fundamentals of each market over time. This is based on standard models of economic growth (e.g. focussing on growth of income, or gross domestic product per capita). The second approach is more subtle. The second approach involves collecting information on the market size or market potential for the particular product or service in question, typically in national currency, and translating these into a common currency. Icon Group uses the U.S. dollar as its common currency across markets. For some categories and markets, basic demand indicators are reported in national statistics, as is mostly the case for the United States and other developed markets. In most of the world’s 230 countries, however, few statistics are available. For these, Icon Group uses www.icongroupedition.com

econometric models to estimate these markets, and forecast these over time. As true for all forward-looking economic forecasts, certain critical assumptions must be made. Two types of assumptions are made for the models used in this report. The first type covers the socioeconomic and global environment. In essence, Icon Group assumes that dynamics seen in the past are likely to continue in the future, without major discontinuous changes. For example, if a city, country or region has not seen civil strife, major recessions, or substantial foreign exchange or currency changes, this is assumed to be the case over the forecast period. Likewise, the worldwide demand is foreseen to progress in a fashion similar to that seen in historical figures, based on aggregated data collected at the national level. The extent to which these assumptions are violated in the future will surely affect the accuracy of the forecasts presented here. The second type of assumption is of greater importance, especially for those markets where insufficient local information is reported in the public domain, or in markets where there is higher uncertainty. Here, we use cross-country econometric models of demand, often called a crosssectional pooled time series models with varying parameters. In simple terms, we assume an underlying consumption function that is allowed to vary over time and across geographic markets. Economists have long proposed various consumption functions. These include John Maynard Keynes, Simon Kuznets, Irving Fisher, Franco Modigliani, Albert Ando, Richard Brumberg, and Milton Friedman. Across these, and other authors, the consumption of a product (as opposed to the amount produced) is foreseen to vary depending on a number of local factors and the time frame that one considers (short-, medium- and long-run). In general, the variance of the market potential across markets is foreseen to be a function of variances in income, wealth, interest rates, expected future income, and a variety of exogenous factors, including geography and culture. Icon Group forecasts primarily rely on non-cultural economic factors in modelling cross-market demand, for a given product or service. We also model the market potential using a consumption function which assumes a constant average propensity to consume in the long run (i.e. as incomes rise, average consumption rates do not fall, as earlier argued by Keynes). Once the cross-market model of demand is specified, it is combined with the local economic models described above. As in all econometric exercises, the lack of local market figures in the public domain results in estimation errors. Furthermore, many intervening factors may arise over time that can materially affect the accuracy of the forecasts, including changes in local economic conditions, changes in political regimes, improvements in primary data, and currency fluctuations, among other factors. As the estimates and forecasts reported here are forwardlooking and subject to assumption-induced errors, you are asked to read the caveats and disclaimers at the end of this report.

9 DISCLAIMERS, WARRANTEES, AND USER AGREEMENT PROVISIONS 9.1 DISCLAIMERS & SAFE HARBOR Summary disclaimer. This publication ("Report") does not constitute legal, valuation, tax, or financial consulting advice. Nor is it a statement on the performance, management capability or future potential (good or bad) of the company(ies), industry(ies), product(s), region(s), city(ies) or country(ies) discussed. It is offered as an information service to clients, associates, and academicians. Those interested in specific guidance for legal, strategic, and/or financial or accounting matters should seek competent professional assistance from their own advisors. Information was furnished to Icon Group Ltd. ("Icon Group"), and its subsidiaries (Icon Group International, Inc.), by its internal researchers and/or extracted from public filings, or sources available within the public domain, including other information providers (e.g. EDGAR filings, national organizations and international organizations). Icon Group does not promise or warrant that we will obtain information from any particular independent source. Published regularly by Icon Group, this and similar reports provide analysis on cities, countries, industries, and/or foreign and domestic companies which may or may not be publicly traded. Icon Group reports are used by various companies and persons including consulting firms, investment officers, pension fund managers, registered representatives, and other financial service professionals. Any commentary, observations or discussion by Icon Group about a country, city, region, industry or company does not constitute a recommendation to buy or sell company shares or make investment decisions. Further, the financial condition or outlook for each industry, city, country, or company may change after the date of the publication, and Icon Group does not warrant, promise or represent that it will provide report users with notice of that change, nor will Icon Group promise updates on the information presented. Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements. Icon Group reports, including the present report, make numerous forward-looking statements which should be treated as such. Forwardlooking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995, and similar local laws. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which may cause a company's, city's, country's or industry's actual results or outlook in future periods to differ materially from those forecasted. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, product price volatility, exchange rate volatility, regulation volatility, product demand volatility, data inaccuracies, computer- or softwaregenereted calculation innacuracies, market competition, changes in management style, changes in corporate strategy, and risks inherent in international and corporate operations. Forward-looking statements can be identified in statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as "anticipate,'' "estimate," "expect,'' "project,'' "intend,'' "plan,'' "feel", "think", "hear," "guess," "forecast," "believe," and other words and terms of similar www.icongroupedition.com

meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating, economic or financial performance. This equally applies to all statements relating to an industry, city, country, region, economic variable or company financial situation. Icon Group recommends that the reader follow the advice of Nancy M. Smith, Director of SEC's Office of Investor Education and Assistance, who has been quoted to say, "Never, ever, make an investment based solely on what you read in an online newsletter or Internet bulletin board, especially if the investment involves a small, thinly-traded company that isn't well known … Assume that the information about these companies is not trustworthy unless you can prove otherwise through your own independent research." Similar recommendations apply to decisions relating to industry studies, product category studies, corporate strategies discussions and country evaluations. In the case of Icon Group reports, many factors can affect the actual outcome of the period discussed, including exchange rate volatility, changes in accounting standards, the lack of oversight or comparability in accounting standards, changes in economic conditions, changes in competition, changes in the global economy, changes in source data quality, changes in reported data quality, changes in methodology and similar factors. Information Accuracy. Although the statements in this report are derived from or based upon various information sources and/or econometric models that Icon Group believes to be reliable, we do not guarantee their accuracy, reliability, quality, and any such information, or resulting analyses, may be incomplete, rounded, inaccurate or condensed. All estimates included in this report are subject to change without notice. This report is for informational purposes only and is not intended as a recommendation to invest in a city, country, industry or product area, or an offer or solicitation with respect to the purchase or sale of a security, stock, or financial instrument. This report does not take into account the investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs of any particular person or legal entity. With respect to any specific company, city, country, region, or industry that might be discussed in this report, investors should obtain individual financial advice based on their own particular circumstances before making an investment decision on the basis of the information in this report. Investing in either U.S. or nonU.S. securities or markets entails inherent risks. In addition, exchange rate movements may have an effect on the reliability of the estimates provided in this report.
