--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ITEMS 1 AND 2. BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Pittston Company
The Pittston Company, a Virginia corporation, has three operating segments
within its "Business and Security Services" businesses: Brink's, Incorporated
("Brink's"); Brink's Home Security, Inc. ("BHS"); and BAX Global Inc. ("BAX
Global"). The fourth operating segment is its Other Operations, which consists
of gold, timber and natural gas operations. The Pittston Company's common stock
trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "PZB."
The Company announced its intention to exit the coal business through the
disposal of the Company's coal mining operations and reserves. The Company
formalized a plan of disposal which it is in the process of implementing.
Accordingly, Pittston Coal Operations ("Coal Operations") are reported as
discontinued operations of the Company as of December 31, 2000.
Prior to January 14, 2000, the Company had three classes of common stock, each
designed to track a component of the Company's businesses: Pittston Brink's
Group Common Stock ("Brink's Stock"), Pittston BAX Group Common Stock ("BAX
Stock") and Pittston Minerals Group Common Stock ("Minerals Stock").
The Company eliminated its tracking stock capital structure on January 14, 2000
by exchanging all outstanding shares of Minerals Stock and BAX Stock for shares
of Brink's Stock (the "Exchange"). For additional information regarding the
Exchange, see Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the
Company's 2001 Annual Report, which Note is herein incorporated by reference.
After the Exchange, Brink's Stock is the only outstanding class of common stock
of the Company. Shares of Brink's Stock after the Exchange are hereinafter
referred to as "Pittston Common Stock."
Financial information related to the Company's operating segments is included in
Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's 2001 Annual
Report, which Note is herein incorporated by reference.
The Company's continuing operations have a total of approximately 50,000
employees. The Company's discontinued operations have a total of approximately
1,400 employees.
A significant portion of the Company's business is conducted outside the United
States. Because the financial results of the Company are reported in U.S.
dollars, they are affected by changes in the value of the various foreign
currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The Company, from time to time, uses
foreign currency forward contracts to hedge certain transactional risks
associated with foreign currencies. The Company is also subject to other risks
customarily associated with doing business in foreign countries, including labor
and economic conditions, political instability, controls on repatriation of
earnings and capital, nationalization, expropriation and other forms of
restrictive action by local governments. The future effects of such risks on the
Company cannot be predicted.
BUSINESS AND SECURITY SERVICES
Brink's, Incorporated ("Brink's")
General
The major services offered by Brink's include armored car transport, automated
teller machine ("ATM") servicing, currency and deposit processing, coin sorting
and wrapping, arranging the secure air transport of valuables ("Global
Services"), and the deploying and servicing of safes and safe control devices,
including its patented CompuSafe(R) service. Brink's serves customers through
154 branches in the U.S. and 42 branches in Canada. Service is also provided
through subsidiaries, equity affiliates and associated companies in 52 countries
outside the U.S. and Canada. Brink's ownership interest in subsidiaries and
affiliated companies ranges from 20% to 100%. In some instances local laws limit
the extent of Brink's ownership interest.
Brink's customers include banks, industrial and commercial businesses,
investment banking and brokerage firms and government agencies, such as a
country's central bank. Brink's provides individualized services under separate
contracts designed to meet the distinct transportation and security requirements
of its customers. These contracts are usually for an initial term of one year or
less, but continue in effect thereafter until canceled by either party.
Brink's armored car transport services generally include secure transportation
of (i) cash from industrial and commercial businesses to banks for deposit, and
(ii) cash, securities and other negotiable items and valuables between
commercial banks, central banks (such as the U.S. Federal Reserve Banks and
their branches and
correspondents), and brokerage firms. Brink's also transports new currency,
coins and precious metals for a number of central banks throughout the world
including most recently the introduction of the euro in Europe. In certain
geographic areas, Brink's transports canceled checks between banks or between
a clearing house and its member banks.
Coin and currency processing services ("cash logistics") are offered primarily
to banks and retail customers. Retail customers use Brink's services to count
and reconcile coins and currency in Brink's secure environment, to prepare bank
deposit information and to replenish retail locations' coins and currency in
proper denominations.
Brink's has the ability, through its information systems, to integrate a full
range of cash vault, ATM, transportation, storage, processing, inventory
management and reporting services. Brink's believes that its processing and
information capabilities differentiate its currency and deposit processing
services from its competitors and enable Brink's to take advantage of the trend
by banks, retail business establishments and others to outsource vaulting and
cash room operations.
For transporting money and other valuables over long distances, Brink's Global
Services offers a combined armored car and secure air transport service between
many cities around the world. Brink's uses regularly scheduled or chartered
aircraft in connection with its air courier services. Included in Global
Services is a worldwide specialized diamond and jewelry secure transportation
operation, with offices in the major diamond and jewelry centers of the world.
Brink's CompuSafe(R) services provide retail customers with a proprietary
integrated system of safeguarding and managing cash. Brink's markets its
CompuSafe(R) services to a variety of cash intensive retail customers, such as
convenience stores, gas stations and restaurants. The service includes
installing a specialized safe in the retail establishment that holds safeguarded
canisters. The customer's employees deposit currency into the canister. The
canister can only be removed by Brink's armored car personnel.
Brink's International operations accounted for approximately 55% of its revenues
and operating profits in 2001. Brink's manages its International operations in
three regions: Europe, Latin America and Asia/Pacific.
Competition
Brink's is the oldest and largest armored car service company in the U.S. as
well as a market leader in many of the countries in which it operates.
Worldwide, Brink's competes with a number of large multinational companies and
with many smaller companies.
Primary factors in the attraction and retention of customers are security, the
quality of services provided and the price charged for services rendered.
Brink's believes that its recognizable name, its reputation for a high level of
service and security, its proprietary cash processing and information systems
and high-quality insurance coverage are important competitive advantages.
Brink's believes its cost structure is generally competitive, although Brink's
believes certain competitors may have lower costs as a result of lower wage and
benefit levels for employees or as a result of different security standards.
Service Mark, Patents and Copyrights
BRINKS is a registered service mark in the U.S. and certain foreign countries.
The BRINKS mark, name and related marks are of material significance to Brink's
business. Brink's owns patents with respect to certain coin sorting and counting
machines, which expire in 2007 and 2008, respectively. Brink's has a patented
integrated service, CompuSafe(R), that expires in 2018. CompuSafe(R) has been
designed to streamline the handling and management of cash receipts. The patents
for CompuSafe(R) and sorting and counting machines provide important advantages
to Brink's in their respective areas of business. However, Brink's operations
are not dependent on the existence of the aforementioned patents.
Insurance
The availability of quality and reliable insurance coverage is an important
factor in the ability of Brink's to obtain and retain customers and to manage
the risks of its business. Brink's purchases "all risk" insurance coverage for
losses in excess of what it considers prudent deductibles and/or retentions. For
losses below deductible or retention levels, Brink's is self-insured. Brink's
insurance policies cover losses from most causes, with the exception of war,
nuclear risk and certain other exclusions typical for such policies.
Insurance is provided by different groups of underwriters at negotiated rates
and terms. Insurance is available to Brink's in major markets although the
premiums charged are subject to fluctuations depending on market conditions. The
loss experience of Brink's and, to a limited extent, other armored carriers
affects premium rates charged to Brink's.
Government Regulation
The operations of Brink's are subject to regulation by the U.S. Department of
Transportation with respect to safety of operations and equipment and financial
responsibility. Intrastate operations in the U.S. and intraprovince operations
in Canada are subject to regulation by state and by Canadian and provincial
regulatory authorities, respectively. Brink's International operations are
regulated to varying degrees by the countries in which they operate.
Employee Relations
At December 31, 2001, Brink's and its subsidiaries had approximately 11,400
employees in North America, (of whom approximately 2,300 were classified as
part-time employees) and approximately 26,100 employees outside North America.
At December 31, 2001, Brink's was a party to 14 collective bargaining agreements
in North America with various local unions covering approximately 1,600
employees, almost all of whom are employees in Canada and members of unions
affiliated with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. Negotiations are
continuing on one agreement that expired in December 2001 and five agreements
expiring in 2002. The remaining agreements will expire after 2002. Brink's
believes that its employee relations are satisfactory. Outside of North America,
the branch workforce are members of labor or employee organizations in the
majority of the countries of operation.
Properties
In North America, Brink's owns 29 branch offices and leases an additional 167
branch offices, located in 39 states, the District of Columbia and nine Canadian
provinces. Such branches generally include office space and garage or vehicle
terminals, and serve not only the city in which they are located but also nearby
cities. Of the leased branches, 113 facilities are held under long-term leases.
The remaining 54 branches are held under short-term leases or month-to-month
tenancies. Brink's corporate headquarters facility in Darien, Connecticut, is
held under a lease expiring in 2005, with an option for an early termination in
2003.
In North America, Brink's owns or leases approximately 2,500 armored vehicles,
300 panel trucks and 200 other vehicles that are primarily service vehicles. In
addition, approximately 4,000 Brink's-owned CompuSafe(R) devices are located on
customers' premises. The armored vehicles are of bullet-resistant construction
and are specially designed and equipped to afford security for crew and cargo.
Brink's subsidiaries and affiliated and associated companies located outside
North America operate from approximately 500 branches, the majority of which are
leased, with approximately 4,700 owned or leased armored vehicles.
Brink's Home Security ("BHS")
General
BHS believes that it is the third largest provider of residential monitored
security services in North America. BHS is primarily engaged in the business of
marketing, selling, installing, monitoring and servicing electronic security
systems in owner-occupied, single-family residences. At December 31, 2001, BHS
had approximately 713,500 systems under monitoring contracts, including
approximately 91,000 new subscribers added during the year. BHS services more
than 120 metropolitan areas in 42 states, the District of Columbia and two
western provinces in Canada.
BHS's typical security system installation consists of sensors and other devices
which are installed at a customer's premises. The equipment can be configured to
signal intrusion, fire, medical and other alerts. When an alarm is triggered, a
signal is sent by telephone line to BHS's central monitoring station in Irving,
Texas, a suburb of Dallas. The monitoring station holds an Underwriters'
Laboratories, Inc. ("UL") listing. UL specifications for service centers include
building integrity, back-up computer and power systems, staffing and standard
operating procedures. In the event of an emergency, such as fire, tornado, major
interruption in telephone or computer service, or any other event affecting the
Irving facility, monitoring operations can be transferred to a backup facility
located in Carrollton, Texas.
BHS markets its alarm systems primarily through advertising, inbound
telemarketing and field sales employees. BHS employees install and service most
of the systems; however, subcontractors are utilized on occasion in some service
areas. BHS does not manufacture the equipment used in its security systems.
Equipment is purchased from a limited number of suppliers and no interruptions
in supply are expected. Equipment inventories are maintained at each branch
office.
BHS has an authorized dealer program to expand its geographic coverage and
leverage its national advertising. During 2001, the dealer program accounted for
less than 7% of installations and, as of December 31, 2001, approximately 45
dealers were actively participating in the program. BHS requires that its
dealers install the same type of equipment as is installed by its own branches,
and adhere to the same installation quality standards.
In addition to initiating subscriber relationships through its branch and dealer
networks, BHS obtains new residential subscribers through its Brink's Home
Technologies division. Brink's Home Technologies markets residential security
systems, as well as a variety of low-voltage security, home networking,
communications and entertainment options, directly to major home builders.
BHS also provides monitored security to residents of apartment and condominium
complexes; however, such customers currently represent a small percentage of
subscribers.
Although its core business is focused on the monitoring of residential security
systems, BHS installs and monitors commercial security systems on a limited
basis.
BHS has entered into certain agreements to license the Brink's or the Brink's
Home Security name. Examples include licenses to distributors of security
products (padlocks, home safes, etc.) offered for sale to consumers through
major retail chains.
Regulation
BHS and its employees are subject to various federal, state and local consumer
protection, licensing and other laws and regulations. BHS's business relies upon
the use of telephone lines to communicate signals, and telephone companies are
currently regulated by both the Federal and state governments. Regulation of the
installation and monitoring of fire detection devices has also increased in
several local markets. BHS's wholly owned Canadian subsidiary, Brink's Home
Security Canada Limited, is subject to the laws of Canada, British Columbia and
Alberta.
The alarm service industry experiences a high incidence of false alarms. BHS
believes its false alarm rate compares favorably to other companies' rates.
Police departments in two western U.S. cities do not respond to calls from alarm
companies unless an emergency has been separately verified. There is a
possibility that in the future other police departments may refuse to respond to
calls from alarm companies, which could necessitate that private response forces
be used to respond to alarm signals. The high incidence of false alarms in the
industry has caused some local governments to impose assessments, fines and
penalties on either subscribers or the alarm companies. BHS alarm service
contracts allow BHS to pass these charges on to customers.
Competition
BHS competes in most major metropolitan markets in the U.S. and several markets
in western Canada through branch operations or its authorized dealer program.
The home security market has a large number of competitors, including many local
and regional companies. Several of BHS's large competitors rely extensively on
independent dealers and acquisitions to add new subscribers. BHS believes that
it is the third largest provider of residential monitored security services in
North America.
Competition is based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to,
price, product quality, company reputation and service quality. There has been
substantial competitive pressure on installation fees in recent years. Several
significant competitors offer installation prices which match or are less than
BHS's prices; however, many of the small local competitors in BHS's markets
continue to charge significantly more for installation. Competitive pressure on
monitoring rates, while less intense than on installation fees, is still
substantial. BHS believes that the monitoring rates it offers are generally
comparable to the rates offered by other major security companies.
BHS believes its customer retention rate is the highest among the major home
security service companies.
BHS holds patents on its 2000 model control panel and keypad. Over 725,000 model
2000 systems have been installed by BHS. The patents prevent others from copying
the appearance of the 2000 keypad and from copying certain design functions
which provide a cost effective approach to providing several user friendly
operation features.
Employees
BHS has approximately 2,400 employees, none of whom is covered by a collective
bargaining agreement. BHS believes that its employee relations are satisfactory.
Properties
BHS has approximately 60 leased offices and warehouse facilities located
throughout the U.S. and two leased offices in Canada. The central monitoring
station in Irving, Texas is leased for a seven-year term ending in 2005,
including renewal options. This facility is also occupied by administrative,
technical and marketing services personnel who support branch operations. The
lease for the backup monitoring center in Carrollton, Texas, expires in 2002.
BHS is in the process of negotiating a renewal. BHS leases approximately 1,200
vehicles which are used in the process of installing and servicing its security
systems.
BHS retains ownership of most of the approximately 713,500 systems currently
under contract. When a
customer cancels monitoring services, BHS typically disables the system. In a
limited number of cases, BHS removes the equipment. When a customer cancels
monitoring services because of a move, the retention of the BHS system in the
residence facilitates the marketing of monitoring services to the new homeowner.
BAX Global
General
BAX Global is a multi-modal transportation and supply chain management company
operating through a global network. BAX Global markets to business-to-business
shippers and specializes in the heavy-freight market.
BAX Global offers its North American transportation customers a variety of
products and pricing options, such as guaranteed and standard overnight and
second-day delivery as well as deferred delivery (delivery generally within one
to three business days). A variety of ancillary services, such as shipment
tracking, inventory control and management reports are also provided.
Internationally, BAX Global offers a variety of services including standard and
expedited freight services, ocean forwarding and door-to-door delivery.
BAX Global generally picks up or receives freight shipments from its customers,
consolidates the freight of various customers into shipments for common
destinations and arranges for the transportation of the consolidated freight.
BAX Global uses either commercial carriers or, in the case of most of its U.S.,
Canadian and Mexican (the "Americas") shipments, uses its own transportation
fleet and regional hub sorting facility. BAX Global distributes the shipments at
the package's destination. For international shipments, BAX Global also
frequently acts as customs broker, facilitating the clearance of goods through
customs at international points of entry.
BAX Global provides certain transportation customers with supply chain
management services and operates more than 40 logistics warehouse and
distribution facilities in key world markets. BAX Global specializes in
developing supply chain management programs for companies entering new global
markets or consolidating regional activity. The healthcare, automotive,
aerospace and high technology industries have been targeted as businesses with
significant supply chain management needs.
BAX Global has the ability to provide freight service to all North American
business communities as well as to virtually all countries through its network
of company-operated stations and agent locations in 123 countries. While
shipments move long distances on either common carrier or BAX Global's fleet,
the local pickup and delivery of freight are accomplished principally by
independent contractors. BAX Global markets its services primarily through its
direct sales force and also employs other marketing methods, including print
media advertising and direct marketing campaigns.
BAX Global's freight business is typically seasonal, with higher volumes of
shipments from August through December than during the other months of the year.
The lowest volume of shipments generally occurs in January and February.
Including U.S. export and import revenue, BAX Global's international shipments
and logistics services accounted for approximately 74% of its revenues in 2001.
Intra-U.S. shipments accounted for approximately 26% of total revenues in 2001.
BAX Global's network is composed primarily of ownership of affiliates and, to a
lesser extent, agents and sales representatives in many non-U.S. locations
typically under short-term contracts.
BAX Global's network has a worldwide communications and information system
which, among other things, provides worldwide tracking and tracing of shipments
and various data for management information reports, enabling customers to
improve efficiency and control costs.
Aircraft Operations
BAX Global has a fleet of leased or contracted aircraft providing regularly
scheduled next-day service, throughout the Americas. BAX Global's wholly owned
subsidiary, Air Transport International LLC ("ATI"), is a U.S.-based freight and
passenger airline that operates a certificated fleet of DC-8 aircraft. BAX
Global's Boeing 727s are operated under contracts that provide for aircraft,
crew, maintenance and insurance ("ACMI"). ATI also provides domestic and
international service for the U.S. Government Air Mobility Command and other
charter customers using primarily combi-configuration aircraft (aircraft
designed to carry cargo and passengers).
The following is a summary of BAX Global's fleet as of January 1, 2002.

Of the 21 planes in BAX Global's transportation network, 18 are assigned to
regularly scheduled routes. Generally, three planes are held for use as backups
or are in maintenance. Pursuant to a 2000 restructuring plan, 10 planes were
taken out of service in the first half of 2001. In an ongoing effort to control
costs, an additional four planes were removed from service in late 2001. Of the
14 planes taken out of service, 10 have been returned to the lessors and four
owned planes remain for sale. See Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements in the Company's 2001 Annual Report, which Note is herein
incorporated by reference, for a discussion of BAX Global's 2000 restructuring
plan.
Also, see Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's 2001
Annual Report for information regarding future minimum lease payments related to
the Company's aircraft. Based on the current state of the aircraft leasing
market, BAX Global believes that it should be able to renew these leases or
enter into new leases on terms reasonably comparable to those currently in
effect.
BAX Global's nightly scheduled lift capacity for planes in operation at January
1, 2002 was approximately 1.1 million pounds, calculated using an average
freight density of 7.5 pounds per cubic foot. BAX Global's nightly lift capacity
varies depending upon the number and type of planes operated by BAX Global at
any particular time. Including trucking capacity available to BAX Global, the
aggregate daily cargo capacity at January 1, 2002, was approximately 2.0 million
pounds.
For aircraft held under long-term lease, ATI is generally responsible for all
the normal costs of operating and maintaining the aircraft. In addition, ATI is
generally responsible for all or a portion of any special maintenance or
modifications which may be required by Federal Aviation Administration
regulations or orders (see "Government Regulation" below). ATI's ultimate
liability for such payments is generally subject to dollar limits, specific
exclusions and sharing arrangements with the lessors. Over the last three years,
ATI has spent approximately $119 million on routine heavy maintenance of its
aircraft fleet. For aircraft operated under ACMI contracts, besides the payment
of the contractual amount, BAX Global is generally responsible for fuel costs
and other incidental costs such as landing fees.
The average airframe age of the fleet operated by ATI is in excess of 30 years,
however, the condition of a particular aircraft and its fair market value is
dependent on its maintenance history. Factors other than age, such as cycles
(essentially the number of flights) can have a significant impact on an
aircraft's serviceability. Generally, cargo aircraft tend to have fewer cycles
than passenger aircraft over comparable time periods because they are used for
fewer flights per day and longer flight segments.
Fuel costs are a significant element of the total costs of operating BAX
Global's aircraft fleet. Fuel prices are subject to worldwide and local market
conditions. It is not possible to predict the impact of future conditions on
fuel prices and fuel availability. In order to protect against price increases
in jet fuel, from time to time BAX Global enters into hedging agreements,
including swap contracts, options and collars. Although BAX Global has on
occasion charged its customers for a portion of its higher fuel costs, there is
no assurance that future increases in fuel costs will be recoverable from
customers.
Customers
BAX Global's customers include thousands of large and small industrial and
commercial businesses. The Company focuses on customers in the automotive,
aerospace, healthcare, high technology, retail and other industries where rapid
delivery of high-value products is required.
Competition
The transportation and supply chain management industries have been and are
expected to remain highly competitive. The principal competitive factors in the
transportation industry are price, the ability to provide consistently fast and
reliable delivery of shipments and the ability to provide ancillary services
such as shipment tracking. The principal competitive factors in the supply chain
industry are price, access to a reliable transportation network, warehousing and
distribution capabilities, and sophisticated information systems.
There is aggressive price competition in the heavy-freight market, particularly
for the business of high volume shippers. BAX Global competes with various types
of transportation companies, including other integrated transportation companies
that operate their own fleets, as well as with freight forwarders, premium
less-than-truckload (or "LTL") carriers, express delivery services, and
passenger airlines.
Domestically, BAX Global also competes with package delivery services provided
by ground transportation companies, including trucking firms and surface freight
forwarders, that offer specialized time-specific services within limited
geographical areas. As a freight forwarder to, from and within international
markets, BAX Global also competes with government-owned or subsidized passenger
airlines and ocean shipping companies.
BAX Global believes its hub-and-spoke network of aircraft and trucks that serves
the Americas markets allows it to move freight more reliably than if it solely
used third-party services. The hub, which is located in Toledo, Ohio, consists
of various facilities, including a technologically advanced material handling
system, which is capable of sorting approximately one million pounds of freight
per hour. BAX Global believes its hub-and-spoke system feeds much of its
Americas import and export business and believes it provides a competitive
advantage by offering superior, reliable service to its customers, shipping to,
from or within the Americas.
In supply chain management services, BAX Global competes with many third-party
logistics providers.
Government Regulation
The air transportation industry is subject to regulation by the Federal Aviation
Administration ("FAA") under the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended. The
FAA is an agency of the Department of Transportation (the "DOT"). ATI is an
airline and operates an FAA-certificated fleet and, accordingly, is subject to
FAA regulations. As an indirect air carrier, BAX Global's operations are also
subject to the direction of the FAA.
BAX Global is subject to other various requirements and regulations in
connection with the operation of its motor vehicles, including certain safety
regulations promulgated by the DOT and state agencies.
Employee Relations
BAX Global and its subsidiaries have approximately 10,000 employees worldwide,
of whom about 1,200 are classified as part-time. Approximately 100 of these
employees in the U.S. (principally customer service, clerical and/or dock
workers) are represented by labor unions, that in most cases are affiliated with
the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
As of December 31, 2001, approximately 200 flight crewmembers (captains, first
officers and flight engineers), employed by ATI were represented for purposes of
collective bargaining by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. Other
employees are not represented by any labor organization. BAX Global did not
experience any significant strike or work stoppage in 2001 and believes that its
employee relations are satisfactory.
Most of BAX Global's pick-up and delivery operations are conducted by
independent contractors. However, BAX Global elected to provide its own pick-up
and delivery in a few Midwestern U.S. station locations.
Properties
BAX Global operates approximately 260 (100 domestic and 160 international)
stations with BAX Global personnel, and has agency agreements with approximately
240 (50 domestic and 190 international) stations. These stations are located
near primary shipping areas, generally at or near airports. BAX Global-operated
domestic stations, which generally include office space and warehousing
facilities, are located in 36 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.
BAX Global-operated international facilities are located in 30 countries. Nearly
all BAX Global-operated stations are held under lease.
BAX Global has a lease expiring in 2013, with the Toledo-Lucas County Port
Authority covering its freight-sorting hub and related facilities (the "Hub") at
Toledo Express Airport in Ohio. The lease provides BAX Global with rights of
renewal for three five-year periods. Other facilities are held under leases
having terms of one to ten years. BAX Global's corporate headquarters facility
located in Irvine, California is anticipated to be relocated within the area in
late Fall 2002.
BAX Global owns or leases, in the U.S. and Canada, a fleet of approximately 40
automobiles and 150 vans and trucks utilized in station work or for hauling
freight between airport facilities and BAX Global's stations.
See "Aircraft Operations" above for information about leased and owned aircraft.
OTHER OPERATIONS
The Company's Other Operations include its gold, timber and natural gas
businesses. At the end of 2001, the Company's Other Operations had approximately
100 employees. The Company does not consider its businesses within its Other
Operations to be core
businesses. The Company's long term strategy is to ultimately exit these
activities to focus resources on its core Business and Security Services
businesses.
Each of the gold, timber and natural gas businesses operate in cyclical
commodity business environments where prices are determined based partly on the
local and worldwide economy. The results from operations of each of these
businesses are highly dependent on the price of their respective products.
The Company's Other Operations owns non-coal properties including land, hardwood
forests, natural gas reserves and a gold mine and reserves.
Gold
The Company's gold business is directed at locating and acquiring mineral
assets, developing advanced stage projects and operating mines. The Company
continued to evaluate gold projects in Australia throughout 2001.
The Company has a 45.1% interest in Mining Project Investors ("MPI"). Through
its ownership of MPI and a 50% direct interest, the Company has a 72.5% interest
in a gold mine in Stawell, Victoria, Australia ("Stawell"). The Stawell gold
mine produced approximately 103,500 ounces of gold in 2001. The Company
estimates that the Stawell gold mine had approximately 410,000 ounces of proven
and probable gold reserves as of December 31, 2001.
Timber
The Company's timber business has a sawmill facility that produces products
primarily for the hardwood flooring industry. The timber business also sells
hardwood chips to the paper industry and logs to other sawmill customers that
are used in the high-grade furniture and veneer markets. The Company owns
approximately 225 thousand surface acres of land including approximately 125
thousand acres of saw timber grade hardwood forests, mostly in Virginia.
Natural Gas
The Company invests in and receives royalty income from gas development and
operations. As of December 31, 2001, net proven developed natural gas reserves
located in Virginia and West Virginia approximated 52 billion cubic feet
including royalty interests.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
The Company's Coal Operations was reported as a discontinued operation as of
December 31, 2000 due to the Company's formal plan to exit the business.
Although the Company intends to dispose of its Coal Operations, it expects to
retain certain assets and liabilities associated with the Coal Operations,
certain of which are material to the Company. See Note 18 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements in the Company's 2001 Annual Report, which Note is herein
incorporated by reference.
Coal Operations
General
Coal Operations is primarily engaged in the mining, preparation and marketing of
coal, the purchase of coal for resale, and the sale or leasing of coal lands to
others. At the end of 2001, the Company's Coal Operations employed approximately
1,400 people. Through its Coal Operations, the Company produces coal suitable
for the steam and metallurgical markets from approximately 24 company or
contractor-operated surface and deep mines located in Virginia, West Virginia
and eastern Kentucky. Steam coal is sold primarily to utilities and industrial
customers located in the eastern U.S. Metallurgical coal is sold to steel and
merchant coke producers primarily located in the U.S., Europe, the Mediterranean
basin and Brazil. Coal Operations has substantial reserves of low sulphur coal,
much of which can be produced from lower cost surface mines. Moreover, it has a
significant share of the premium quality metallurgical coal reserves in the
U.S., along with other high-quality feed stock reserves demanded by the coke and
steel-making industry.
The following tables indicate the tons of coal purchased, produced and sold by
Coal Operations for the years ended 2001, 2000 and 1999.

Environmental Matters
The Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 and the regulations
promulgated thereunder ("SMCRA") by the Federal Office of Surface Mining
Reclamation and Enforcement ("OSM") establish mining and reclamation standards
for all aspects of surface mining as well as many aspects of deep mining. OSM
and its state counterparts monitor compliance with SMCRA. Coal Operations'
policy is to correct violations that are the subject of OSM notices or to
contest those believed to be without merit.
Coal Operations reached a broad settlement with the OSM in 1996 involving SMCRA
liabilities of former contractors. Coal Operations has also entered into a
number of similar agreements with the states. Under these agreements, Coal
Operations agreed to perform certain reclamation and to pay certain fees of
former contractors. Coal Operations is in the process of completing all required
work under these agreements.
Coal Operations is also subject to other federal environmental laws, including
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; the Occupational Safety and Health
Act; the Toxic Substances Control Act; the Comprehensive Environmental Resource,
Compensation and Liability Act; the Clean Water Act; the Clean Air Act and the
Safe Drinking Water Act, as well as state laws of similar scope in Virginia,
West Virginia and Kentucky. The Company believes it is in compliance with all
applicable environmental laws.
Health and Safety Laws
Health and safety standards in the U.S. coal industry are legislated by the
Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969 and the Federal Mine Safety and
Health Act of 1977. The Company believes it is in compliance with all applicable
health and safety laws.
Compliance with health and safety laws is, in general, a cost common to all
domestic coal producers. The Company believes that the competitive position of
Coal Operations has not been and should not be adversely affected except in the
export market where Coal Operations competes with various foreign producers
subject to less stringent health and safety regulations. See Note 13 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's 2001 Annual Report for a
description of certain of the Company's employee benefit obligations.
Properties
The principal properties of Coal Operations are coal reserves, coal mines and
coal preparation plants, all of which are located in Virginia, West Virginia and
eastern Kentucky. Such reserves are either owned or leased. Leases of land or
coal mining rights generally are either for a long-term period or until
exhaustion of the reserves, and require the payment of a royalty based generally
on the sales price and/or tons of coal mined from a particular property. Many
leases or rights provide for payment of minimum royalties.
Coal Operations owns a 32.5% interest in Dominion Terminal Associates ("DTA"),
which leases and operates a ground storage-to-vessel coal transloading facility
in Newport News, Virginia. DTA has a throughput capacity of 22.0 million tons of
coal per year and ground storage capacity of 2.0 million tons. A portion of Coal
Operations' share of the throughput and ground storage capacity of the DTA
facility is subject to user rights of third parties, which pay Coal Operations a
fee. The DTA facility serves export customers, as well as domestic coal users
located on the eastern seaboard of the United States.
MATTERS RELATING TO FORMER OPERATIONS
In April 1990, the Company entered into a settlement agreement to resolve
certain environmental claims against the Company arising from hydrocarbon
contamination at a petroleum terminal facility ("Tankport") in Jersey City, New
Jersey, which facility was sold in 1983. Under the settlement agreement, the
Company is obligated to pay 80% of the hydrocarbon remediation costs. The
Company is in the process of remediating the site under an approved plan. The
Company estimates its portion of the actual remaining clean-up and operational
and maintenance costs, on an undiscounted basis, to be between $3.8 and $8.1
million. Management is unable to determine that any amount within that range is
a better estimate due to a variety of uncertainties which include unforeseen
circumstances existing at the site, changes in the regulatory standards under
which the clean-up is being conducted, and additional costs due to inflation.
The estimate of costs and the timing of payments could change significantly
based upon any one of the uncertainties described immediately above.
Taking into account the proceeds from a previous settlement with its insurers of
claims relating to this matter, it is the Company's belief that the ultimate
amount for which it will be liable resulting from the remediation of the
Tankport site will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial
position.
Forward-Looking Information
Certain of the matters discussed herein, including statements regarding the
uninterrupted supply of equipment to BHS, the possibility that police
departments may refuse to respond to calls from alarm companies requiring that a
private response force be used, the ability
of BHS to renew the lease for its backup monitoring center, the expected
seasonal impact of the volumes shipped by BAX Global, the ability of BAX Global
to renew certain aircraft leases or enter into new leases on reasonably
comparable terms, the highly competitive nature of the transportation and
supply chain management industries, plans to discontinue Coal Operations and
the retention of certain assets and liabilities associated with the Coal
Operations, the amount of proven and probable gold reserves in the Stawell
gold mine, the amount of proven developed natural gas reserves, the
Company's long-term plan to exit its gold, timber and natural gas businesses,
the competitive position of Coal Operations, environmental clean-up estimates
and the impact of environmental clean-up costs on the Company's financial
position, results of operations and cash flows involve forward-looking
information which is subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and
contingencies which could cause actual results, performance or achievements, to
differ materially from those which are anticipated.
Such risks, uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the
control of the Company, include, but are not limited to, the performance of
BHS's equipment suppliers, the incidence of false alarms, the real estate market
in the Carrollton, Texas area, the market for airplanes, the actual amount of
gold reserves and natural gas reserves held by the Company's Other Operations,
the accuracy of the testing done and the validity of the assumptions used in
estimating gold and natural gas reserves, changes in the Company's long-term
strategies, overall economic and business conditions, foreign currency exchange
rates, the demand for the Company's products and services, the ability of the
Company and its operations to obtain appropriate insurance coverage at
reasonable prices, the timing and ultimate outcome of the sale of the coal
assets, pricing and other competitive industry factors, fuel prices, new
government regulations and/or legislative initiatives, issuance of permits, the
performance of contractors and subcontractors of work in connection with the
remediation of the Tankport site, judicial decisions, variations in costs or
expenses including interest rates, variations in the spot prices of coal and the
ability of counterparties to perform.
Should one or more of these risks materialize (or the consequences of such a
development worsen), or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect,
actual results could differ materially from those forecasted or expected. The
Company assumes no duty to update any forward-looking statements whether as a
result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court
of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
Undertaking
For the purposes of complying with the amendments to the rules governing Form
S-8 (effective July 13, 1990) under the Securities Act of 1933, the undersigned
