The loss was still an improvement over 2008, when Knoxville-based National Coal had a $9.07 million net loss, or 30 cents per share during the same quarter.
"These results include those of NCA, (National Coal of Alabama) a subsidiary that suffered significant decline in sales and an increase in costs in the second quarter, which resulted in foreclosure in the third quarter," Daniel A. Roling, president and CEO of National Coal, said in a prepared statement.
"However, as I have previously mentioned, National Coal Corp. and our other subsidiaries, which operate in Tennessee, will continue to operate independent of what has occurred in Alabama."
