S&P rates U.S. Coal CCC

Standard & Poor's said it removed the preliminary CCC rating on U.S. Coal Corp. from CreditWatch, where it was placed in October 2011 with developing implications.

S&P also said it assigned a final CCC corporate credit rating to the company.

The outlook is negative.

The ratings reflect the combination of its vulnerable business risk profile and highly leveraged financial risk profile, S&P said.

The agency said it also factors in the company's relatively small size, lack of geographic diversity, high customer concentration and its weak liquidity.
