Exhibit 99(c)
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information
On July 31, 2007, ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ Inc (the Company or Cliffs) completed its acquisition of PinnOak Resources, LLC and Subsidiaries (PinnOak) pursuant to the Unit Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 14, 2007, by and among the Company and PinnOak, the Regent Investment Company, L.P., Questor Partners Fund II, L.P., Questor Side-by-Side Partners II, L.P., Questor Side-by-Side Partners II 3(c)1, L.P., Questor Partners Fund II AIV-1, LLC, Questor General Partner II, L.P., and PinnOak Resources Employee Equity Incentive Plan, LLC. PinnOak is a domestic producer of high-quality metallurgical coal. The purchase price of PinnOak was $450 million in cash, of which $108.4 million is deferred until December 31, 2009, plus the assumption of approximately $160 million in debt, which was repaid at closing. The purchase agreement includes a contingent earn-out, which ranges from $0 to approximately $300 million dependent upon PinnOaks performance in 2008 and 2009. The earn-out, if any, would be payable in 2010 and treated as additional purchase price.
A portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of PinnOak was financed through the Companys Credit Agreement, dated July 26, 2007, by and among the Company, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent and Letter of Credit Issuer, and the other lenders party thereto (the Credit Agreement). Certain of the lenders and other parties under the Credit Agreement are lenders, agents and parties under the Companys $500 million Multicurrency Credit Agreement, and they and their respective affiliates have performed, and may in the future perform, various commercial banking, investment banking and other financial advisory services for the Company and its subsidiaries for which they have received, and will receive, customary fees and expenses.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared to give effect to the Companys acquisition of PinnOak using the purchase method of accounting and the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information. This unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information was prepared as if the acquisition had been completed as of January 1, 2006 with respect to the consolidated statements of operations, and as of June 30, 2007 with respect to the consolidated balance sheet.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is based upon the respective historical financial statements of Cliffs and PinnOak. This unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with: (1) the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 filed on August 3, 2007; (2) the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 filed on May 25, 2007; (3) PinnOaks financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006 and as of June 30, 2007 and for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, included in this Form 8-K/A as Exhibit 99(b); and (4) the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information includes adjustments, which are based upon preliminary estimates, to reflect the allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of PinnOak. The purchase price allocation presented herein is preliminary; final allocation of the purchase price will be based upon the results of third party valuations, which are currently in process but not yet completed. Accordingly, final purchase accounting adjustments may differ from the pro forma adjustments presented herein.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information included herein has been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and certain footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations; however management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information not misleading.
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
On July 31, 2007, Cliffs completed the acquisition of 100 percent of PinnOak, a privately-owned United States producer of high-quality, low-volatile metallurgical coal. The purchase price of PinnOak was $450 million in cash, of which $108.4 million is deferred until December 31, 2009, plus the assumption of approximately $160 million in debt, which was repaid at closing. The purchase agreement includes a contingent earn-out, which ranges from $0 to approximately $300 million dependent upon PinnOaks performance in 2008 and 2009. The earn-out, if any, would be payable in 2010 and treated as additional purchase price.
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations (SFAS 141), whereby the total cost of the acquisition has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the effective date of the acquisition. The estimated purchase price allocation is preliminary and is subject to revision. A third party valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is being conducted, and the final allocation will be made when completed.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of financial position was prepared as if the acquisition occurred on June 30, 2007. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations was prepared as if the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2006. These statements do not purport to represent what our financial position and results of operations would actually have been had the acquisition in fact occurred on such dates or to project our financial position or results of operations for any future period. Furthermore, the allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and subject to further revision.
Note 2. Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information reflects an estimated total purchase price of $601.2 million (including the assumption of debt). Included in the purchase price is a deferred payment, due December 31, 2009, which has been discounted at six percent. The purchase price is summarized as follows:

$ | 601.2 | |
Under the purchase method of accounting, the total estimated purchase price will be allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed of PinnOak based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The following represents the preliminary allocation of the aggregate purchase price as of July 31, 2007:

It is estimated that a significant portion of the purchase price will be allocated to coal mining reserves, which will be depleted on a units of production basis over the estimated reserve life. A final determination of fair values may differ materially from preliminary estimates and will include managements consideration of a final valuation prepared by independent valuation specialists. Any final adjustments may change the allocation of purchase price, which could affect the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and could result in a change to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information.
Note 3. Pro Forma Adjustments
The pro forma adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information are as follows:
(a) | Reflects the preliminary allocation of purchase price to coal inventory based on estimated sales price less costs to sell. |
(b) | Reflects primarily the consolidation of Beard Pinnacle LLC due to the acquisition of a controlling interest in Beard Pinnacle LLC. |
(c) | Reflects primarily the preliminary allocation of purchase price to coal mining reserves ($565 million), property plant and equipment ($60 million), re-setting of |
7
accumulated depreciation and the consolidation of Beard Pinnacle LLC ($14.4 million). |
(d) | Reflects the re-setting of accumulated depreciation to zero. |
(e) | Reflects the incremental deferred tax liability, which consists primarily of liabilities associated with the acquired identifiable tangible assets. |
(f) | Reflects net write-off of debt issuance costs. |
(g) | Reflects the net of the retirement of PinnOaks long-term debt and $505.5 million of borrowings under the Companys multi-currency agreement. |
(h) | Reflects the adjustment to PinnOaks postretirement obligations resulting from the realization of gains and losses. |
(i) | Reflects the adjustment to PinnOaks asset retirement obligation utilizing a credit-adjusted risk free rate of six percent. |
(j) | Reflects the excess of the preliminary allocation of excess fair value of acquired net assets over cost due to the contingent earn-out. |
(k) | Reflects primarily the deferred purchase payment due December 31, 2009, discounted at six percent ($93.7 million) and the elimination of the deferred royalty liability accounted for as a financing ($48.9 million) which was established at the time of PinnOaks asset purchase agreement with United States Steel in 2003. |
(l) | Reflects elimination of PinnOaks equity as a result of purchase accounting. |
(m) | Reflects primarily depletion amortization costs incurred related to the allocation of purchase price to coal mining reserves amortized on a units of production basis ($7.4 million) and the amortization of additional purchase price allocated to property, plant and equipment ($6.0 million). |
(n) | Reflects interest expense on the borrowings under the Companys multi-currency credit facility used to acquire PinnOak assuming interest at 6.08 percent ($15.4 million) partially offset by the pro forma reduction of PinnOak interest expense ($7.3 million) and the net write-off of debt issuance costs ($.2 million). |
(o) | Reflects the tax impact of the pro forma adjustments as well as the tax impact of PinnOak historical results since pre-acquisition PinnOak was a flow-through limited liability company that recorded no income tax expense. |
(p) | Reflects primarily depletion amortization costs incurred related to the allocation of purchase price to coal mining reserves amortized on a units of production basis ($17.2 million), the amortization of additional purchase price allocated to property, plant and equipment ($12.0 million), and the recognition of coal inventory basis adjustment costs ($.3 million). |
(q) | Reflects interest expense on the borrowings under the Companys multi-currency credit facility used to acquire PinnOak ($30.7 million) partially offset by the pro forma reduction of PinnOak interest expense ($11.7 million) and the net write-off of debt issuance costs ($.4 million). |
