         (1) Pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
this Registration Statement covers such additional indeterminate number of
shares of Common Stock as may be issued by reason of adjustments in the number
of shares of Common Stock pursuant to anti-dilution provisions contained in
various Common Stock Purchase Warrants. Because such additional shares of Common
Stock will, if issued, be issued for no additional consideration, no
registration fee is required.

         (2) Estimated in accordance with Rule 457(c) solely for the purpose of
calculating the registration fee on the basis of the average of the high and low
prices reported on the Nasdaq on May 13, 1998 or, with respect to the 
shares of Common Stock described in note 15 below, on July 14, 1998.

         (3) May be offered and issued by the issuer from time to time in
connection with one or more mergers with or acquisitions by the Company of other
businesses or assets.

         (4) To be offered and sold by certain of the Selling Securityholders.
Shares of Common Stock underlying the Common Stock Purchase Warrants that were
the subject of a registration statement filed by the registrant, Registration
Number 333-05040C, which was declared effective on September 5, 1996.

         (5) To be offered and sold by certain of the Selling 
Securityholders.

         (6) To be offered and sold by certain of the Selling 
Securityholders. Pursuant to Rule 457(g), no separate registration fee for 
such securities is required because such securities are being registered for 
distribution in the same registration as the securities being offered 
pursuant thereto.

         (7) To be offered and sold by certain of the Selling Securityholders.
Shares of Common Stock underlying the Common Stock Purchase Warrants identified
in footnote 6, above. These securities were previously the subject of a
registration statement filed by the registrant, Registration Number 333-05040C,
which was declared effective on September 5, 1996. Pursuant to Rule 429, such
securities are being carried forward and included in this registration
statement, and the registration fee associated with such securities was
previously paid.

         (8) To be offered and sold by certain of the Selling Securityholders.

         (9) To be offered and sold by certain of the Selling Securityholders.

         (10) To be offered and sold by certain of the Selling Securityholders.

         (11) To be offered and sold by certain of the Selling Securityholders.

         (12) To be offered and sold by certain of the Selling Securityholders.

         (13) To be offered and sold by one of the Selling Securityholders.
Pursuant to Rule 457(g), no separate registration fee for such securities is
required because such securities are being registered for distribution in the
same registration as the securities being offered pursuant thereto.

         (14) To be offered and sold by one of the Selling Securityholders.

         (15) To be offered and sold by certain of the Selling Securityholders.

         (16) An aggregate of $31,493.18 of the filing fee was paid at the 
time of the filing of this Registration Statement on May 15, 1998.  The 
remaining $795.08 of the filing fee is included herewith.

INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN IS SUBJECT TO COMPLETION OR AMENDMENT. A
REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING TO THESE SECURITIES HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD NOR MAY
OFFERS TO BUY BE ACCEPTED PRIOR TO THE TIME THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT BECOMES
EFFECTIVE. THIS PROSPECTUS SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER TO SELL OR THE
SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO SELL OR THE SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO BUY NOR
SHALL THERE BE ANY SALE OF THESE SECURITIES IN ANY STATE IN WHICH SUCH OFFER,
SOLICITATION OR SALE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL PRIOR TO REGISTRATION OR QUALIFICATION

                               SUBJECT TO COMPLETION
                    PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS DATED July __, 1998 

                        ROCKY MOUNTAIN INTERNET, INC. 

                   4,061,500 COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANTS
                        10,907,900 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK 


    This Prospectus relates to up to 2,000,000 shares (the "Acquisition 
Shares") of common stock, $0.001 par value (the "Common Stock"), that may be 
offered and issued by Rocky Mountain Internet, Inc., a Delaware corporation 
(the "Company"), from time to time in connection with the merger with or 
acquisition by the Company of other businesses or assets. The Company 
anticipates that the terms of mergers, acquisitions, or business 
combinations, if any, involving the issuance of securities covered by this 
Prospectus will be determined by direct negotiations with the owners or 
controlling persons of the businesses or assets to be merged with or acquired 
by the Company, and that the shares of Common Stock issued will be valued at 
prices reasonably related to market prices current either at the time that a 
merger or acquisition are agreed upon or at or about the time of delivery of 
shares. No underwriting discounts or commissions will be paid, although 
finder's fees may be paid from time to time with respect to specific mergers 
or acquisitions. Any person receiving any such fees may be deemed to be an 
underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 
"Securities Act"). There can be no assurance that the Company will, in fact, 
consummate a business combination or asset acquisition on terms that are 
favorable to the Company.

         This Prospectus also relates to 8,907,900 shares of Common Stock 
(the "Selling Securityholder Shares"), of which approximately 2,966,250 
shares are currently issued and outstanding and of which approximately 
5,941,650 shares may be issued upon the exercise of currently outstanding 
warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock. This Prospectus also relates to 
such additional shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant the 
anti-dilution provisions of such outstanding warrants. See "DESCRIPTION OF 
CAPITAL STOCK." The Selling Securityholder Shares will be offered and sold from 
time to time by certain persons identified below under the caption "SELLING 
SECURITYHOLDERS" (the "Selling Securityholders"), and the Company will 
receive none of the proceeds of any such sales. 
   
   This Prospectus also relates to 4,061,500 outstanding warrants to purchase 
shares of Common Stock (the "Warrants"). The Warrants may be offered and sold 
from time to time by certain of the Selling Securityholders, and the Company 
will receive none of the proceeds of any such sales. However, the Company 
will receive proceeds from the exercise of Warrants if any Warrants are 
exercised. The shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of 
the Warrants are included in the 8,907,900 shares identified above as being 
offered by the Selling Securityholders. This Prospectus also relates to the 
sale and issuance by the Company of shares of Common Stock to holders of the 
Warrants (other than the Selling Securityholders) upon the exercise of those 
Warrants.
    

<PAGE>

         The Company will pay substantially all of the expenses with respect 
to the offering and the sale of the Acquisition Shares, the Selling 
Securityholder Shares, and the Warrants (sometimes referred to herein 
collectively as the "Securities") to the public, including the costs 
associated with registering the Securities under the Securities Act and 
preparing and printing this Prospectus. Normal underwriting commissions and 
broker fees, however, as well as any applicable transfer taxes, are payable 
individually by the Selling Securityholders. See "USE OF PROCEEDS," "RECENT 
DEVELOPMENTS--CHANGE IN CONTROL," "SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS," and "DESCRIPTION 
OF CAPITAL STOCK."

         On July 14, 1998 the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the 
NASDAQ SmallCap-TM- Market ("Nasdaq") was $14.219 per share.

         SEE "RISK FACTORS," BEGINNING ON PAGE 17, FOR A DISCUSSION OF CERTAIN
FACTORS THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED BY PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS IN THE SECURITIES.

         THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS
THE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR
ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL
OFFENSE.

              THE DATE OF THIS PROSPECTUS IS _______________, 1998.

        So long as the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms 
a part is effective and the disclosure set forth herein is current, the 
Selling Securityholders may sell the Selling Securityholder Shares and the 
Warrants publicly and the Company may issue and sell shares of Common Stock 
upon exercise of the Warrants. The Selling Securityholder Shares and the 
Warrants offered by this Prospectus may be sold from time to time by the 
Selling Securityholders. The distribution of the Selling Securityholder 
Shares and the Warrants by the Selling Securityholders may be effected in one 
or more transactions that may take place on the Nasdaq, including ordinary 
broker's transactions, privately negotiated transactions, or through sales to 
one or more dealers for resale of such securities as principals at market 
prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing 
market prices or at negotiated prices. Usual and customary or specially 
negotiated brokerage fees or commissions may be paid by the Selling 
Securityholders in connection with sales of such Selling Securityholder 
Shares.

        The Selling Securityholders and intermediaries through whom the
Securities are sold may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of
the Securities Act with respect to the Securities offered, and any profits
realized or commission received may be deemed underwriting compensation. The
Company has agreed to indemnify certain of the Selling Securityholders against
certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

                                THE COMPANY

   
           The Company is a full service communications solutions provider of 
switched and Internet Protocol ("IP")-based communications products and 
services for small- and medium-sized business enterprises, as well as dial-up 
residential customers. The Company operates 9 Internet points of presence 
("POPs") in Colorado and, through agreements with third-party providers, the 
Company can provide Internet access in 90 of the 100 largest metropolitan 
statistical areas in the United States. In addition, the Company operates a 
22,000 mile network with access points in 26 cities nationwide for the 
provision of private line, ATM and frame relay circuits to its business 
customers. The Company monitors and controls its network through its Network 
Operations Center ("NOC") located in Denver, Colorado. The Company intends to 
provide to its customers on a nationwide basis comprehensive communications 
services, including dedicated Internet access, dial-up Internet access, IP 
telephony ("IP Telephony"), point-to-point private line, frame relay and local 
and long distance telephone service. In addition, the Company offers its 
customers value-added web services, including web site hosting, web site 
production and marketing, electronic commerce ("e-commerce") and web training. 
The Company believes it is essential to offer to its customers one point-of-
contact for maintaining mission-critical communications networks and 
accomplishes this by also providing network integration services, including 
the design, installation, management and maintenance of business communications
systems and enterprise data networks. The Company had combined pro forma 
revenues for the year ended December 31, 1997 of $40,255,000 and provided 
communications services to over 2,000 business customers and over 13,000 
dial-up customers as of June 30, 1998.
    

           INDUSTRY BACKGROUND. The Company enables its customers to take 
advantage of emerging Internet technology. The emergence of the Internet, IP 
Telephony and the widespread adoption of IP as a data transmission standard 
in the 1990's are rapidly accelerating the standardization of networking 
protocols. This standardization has revolutionized business-to-business 
transactions and e-commerce for consumer shopping. Moreover, business 
enterprise networks are rapidly adopting data communications network plans 
incorporating IP-based technologies and migration paths to utilize the 
Internet as much as possible.

   
           Internet access and IP-based services represent two of the fastest
growing segments of the over $200 billion telecommunications services
marketplace according to International Data Corporation ("IDC"). IDC estimates
that the number of Internet users in the United States who access the World Wide
Web reached approximately 29.2 million in 1997 and is forecasted to grow to
approximately 72.1 million by the year 2000. In addition, total Internet Service
Provider ("ISP") revenues in the United States are projected to grow from $4.6
billion in 1997 to over $18 billion in 2000. In the past, much of the growth in
ISP revenues has been 


                                      -4-
<PAGE>

driven by the dial-up or retail sector of the Internet. However, today 
businesses represent the largest and fastest growing segment of the Internet 
market. IDC predicts that U.S. corporate Internet access revenues will grow 
from approximately $1.9 billion in 1996 to over $6.6 billion in 2000 and that 
revenues from enhanced Internet services, such as web site hosting, security, 
e-commerce, virtual private networks and advanced Internet applications, will 
grow from approximately $352 million in 1997 to over $7 billion in 2000.
    
           The rapidly growing need for Internet access and technology has 
resulted in a highly fragmented industry with the proliferation of over 4,000 
ISPs operating within the United States, according to industry estimates. 
These ISPs are primarily made up of a few large national providers focused on 
high bandwidth access and a large number of smaller providers with limited 
resources focused on serving local or regional markets. The Company believes 
that the solutions offered by these companies often fail to address certain 
elements required to ensure that customers' mission-critical Internet 
operations are reliable, scalable and high-performing and that these 
companies fail to provide a broad array of efficient and low-cost 
communications products and services.

   
           POSITIONING OF THE COMPANY. With the acquisition of ICC by RMI, the 
Company is positioned to become a leading national communications solutions 
provider. The Company offers a broad array of communications products and 
services tailored to meet customer needs and provides high quality customer 
support. The Company delivers its products and services through three 
interconnected divisions: Communications Services, Web Services and 
Integration Services. The Company believes that, based upon its experience, a 
growing number of businesses will demand one point-of-contact for 
communications solutions for the following reasons: (i) to ensure proper 
system/network integration; (ii) to obtain a single point of responsibility 
for products and services that might have numerous providers; and (iii) to 
continue to take advantage of evolving communications technologies. The 
Company intends to increase the breadth of its products and services 
delivered to its customers by adopting new technology, acquiring 
complementary businesses and capitalizing on strategic relationships.

services are organized under three interconnected divisions including 
Communication Services, Web Services and 
    

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

Integration Services. The Company plans to continue to add products and 
services to its portfolio and believes that a growing number of businesses 
and consumers will demand that one company provide all of their 
communications needs. The Company believes that this one point-of-contact 
service delivery model ensures: (i) high-performance, cost-effective network 
planning, design and implementation; (ii) maintenance of a single point of 
responsibility; and (iii) an ongoing customer relationship as a technology 
partner for communications applications.

   
               PROVIDE SUPERIOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT. The 
Company believes that highly differentiated customer service and technical 
support is a key competitive asset in the communications industry, and the 
ISP sector in particular. Because the Internet is an evolving and complex 
medium, customers require significant technical support. Consequently, the 
Company has developed a comprehensive strategy to attain maximum customer 
satisfaction. This strategy consists of the following elements: (i) 
maintaining a sufficient number of qualified service and technical support 
personnel through proactive recruitment, retention and training programs; 
(ii) utilizing the Company's extranet to provide real-time, interactive 
customer service; (iii) developing an on-line billing system enabling 
customer-controlled account customization and analysis; and (iv) further 
deploying and maintaining the Company's service delivery standards and 
guarantees. The Company believes that, due to its high quality customer 
service, it experiences low turnover rates and achieves a significant 
percentage of its subscriber growth from customer referrals.
    

               CAPITALIZE ON BRAND RECOGNITION AND COMPANY REPUTATION. The 
Company believes that as a result of the ICC Acquisition, the Company will 
possess two strong and distinctive brand names in the Mountain States region. 
ICC has a long-standing reputation in the business community as a voice and 
data communications provider and RMI has established itself as a leading-edge 
Internet access provider for residences and small- to medium-sized businesses. 
To capitalize on these assets, the Company will adopt a dual nationwide 
branding strategy. Products and services targeted to the business segment will 
be branded as "Internet Communications Company," and products and services 
targeted to the consumer segment will be branded as "Rocky Mountain Internet." 
This dual branding strategy will enable the Company to implement marketing 
efforts that have distinctive customer focus, as well as themes and messages 
that speak to the different audiences while maintaining the ability to cross 
sell and build national brands.

   
               MAXIMIZE NETWORK UTILIZATION. Through its network and 
agreements with third-party providers, the Company provides Internet access 
in 90 of the 100 largest metropolitan statistical areas in the United States. 
The Company plans to continue to selectively add POPs where it can add value 
to its customers. The Company believes that the ISP industry has historically 
been divided between ISPs focused on business customers and ISPs focused on 
residential dial-up customers. The Company's business strategy is to maximize 
network utilization 24 hours a day by targeting both daytime business and 
evening-intensive consumer users.
    

               SELECTIVELY TARGET KEY CITIES TO EXPAND NATIONWIDE. The 
Company plans to expand its sales efforts nationally by focusing on targeted 
areas where there is a large concentration of businesses and favorable 
demographics. The Company will initially target markets where it has existing 
facilities. In these locations the Company will actively pursue both business 
and residential customers. In markets where the Company is using third-party 
provider networks, the Company will initially target dial-up customers 
through advertising, promotions, public relations, telemarketing and customer 
referrals. Once the Company attains critical mass in these locations, it will 
establish its own POPs and begin targeting business and residential customers 
with its broad array of communications products and services.

   
               TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SIGNIFICANT CONSOLIDATION OPPORTUNITIES. The 
Company believes that the Internet industry is undergoing structural changes 
with an increasing use of the Internet for mission-critical applications, 
which is creating demand for high quality network operations, customer 
service and technical support. The Company also believes that there is a 
market opportunity to consolidate ISPs, Internet-based service companies and 
Internet technologies. Evidence of this strategy includes the Company's recent 
acquisitions of Infohiway and Application Methods. Infohiway is a company 
that has developed a search engine that gives the Company on-line advertising 
opportunities for its customers. Application Methods' e-commerce

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

solution, e-SELL, enables the Company to provide business customers with 
browser-based software to conduct business over the Internet. The Company 
believes these acquisitions enhance the Company's position as a full service 
provider of communications solutions. The Company will continue to evaluate 
opportunities to acquire companies that it believes will enhance its product 
and service offerings. In addition, the Company intends to supplement its 
organic national growth efforts by acquiring local ISPs in strategic 
locations to maximize economies of scale.
    
                               RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
   
           As mentioned above, RMI entered into an Agreement and Plan of 
Merger dated as of June 5, 1998 by and among RMI, ICC and Internet Acquisition 
Corporation, a Colorado corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of RMI (the 
"ICC Merger Agreement") pursuant to which RMI will, subject to the conditions 
set forth therein, acquire ICC. ICC is a Denver-based telecommunications company
that designs, implements, maintains and manages communications systems and 
networks. Consummation of the ICC Acquisition is subject to the satisfaction 
of various closing conditions, including approval of the merger by ICC's 
shareholders at the shareholders' meeting scheduled for August 10, 1998, and 
is expected to close shortly thereafter. The Issuer currently intends, subject 
to market and other conditions, including the prior consummation of the ICC 
Acquisition, to complete the Private Placement Offering to raise approximately 
$175.0 million in a private placement of high yield securities pursuant to 
Rule 144A adopted under the Securities Act. The securities to be offered in 
the Private Placement Offering will consist of senior notes (and may include 
other securities) and will not be registered under the Securities Act or 
applicable state securities laws. The Private Placement Offering will be made 
only by means of an offering memorandum. The Issuer has obtained a bridge loan 
commitment from lenders to fund the ICC Acquisition if the Private Placement 
Offering is not completed. See "RECENT DEVELOPMENTS -- ICC ACQUISITION," and 
"--OTHER ACQUISITIONS," "RISK FACTORS," "BUSINESS" and "MANAGEMENT'S 
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS."
    
           On June 5, 1998, RMI acquired Infohiway, a Colorado-based company 
that developed a search engine that the Company believes has unique data 
searching features. RMI also acquired Seattle-based Application Methods on 
June 30, 1998. Application Methods has developed a proprietary e-commerce 
software package, e-SELL. Additionally, RMI recently entered into a 
non-binding memorandum of understanding regarding the possible acquisition of 
Internet Now, Inc. ("Internet Now"), an ISP located in Phoenix, Arizona for 
approximately $1.5 million. While the Company believes these current and 
proposed acquisitions will accelerate its existing growth plans, there can be 
no assurance that the Company will be able to integrate these companies 
successfully. See "RECENT DEVELOPMENTS -- ICC ACQUISITION," and "--OTHER 
ACQUISITIONS," "RISK FACTORS," "BUSINESS" and "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND 
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS."
   
           At the 1998 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on March 12, 1998 
(the "RMI Annual Meeting"), RMI's stockholders approved an amendment to RMI's 
Certificate of Incorporation that authorized (i) an increase in the number of 
shares of Common Stock that may be issued by RMI from 10,000,000 to 
25,000,000 and (ii) a decrease in the number of votes required for 
stockholder actions from a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding 
to a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at a 
meeting and entitled to vote thereon. Also at the RMI Annual Meeting, the 
stockholders of RMI authorized RMI's board of directors to declare, at any 
time or from time to time, in its discretion until March 12, 1999, reverse 
stock splits of Common Stock, with the exact size of the stock splits to be 
determined by the board of directors up to a maximum ratio of one-for-ten.

           RMI is a Delaware corporation incorporated in October 1995. It 
acquired the assets of Rocky Mountain Internet, Inc., a Colorado corporation 
incorporated in 1994 that began doing business in 1993 as an unincorporated 
enterprise. RMI completed an initial public offering (the "IPO") of 1,365,000 
units of securities (the "IPO Units") on September 5, 1996. Each IPO Unit 
consisted of one share of Common Stock and one IPO Warrant (as defined below) 
to purchase a share of Common Stock at a price of $4.375. On September 14, 
1997, RMI completed a private placement of units consisting of two shares of 
Common Stock and a warrant to purchase a share of Common Stock. The per unit 
price was $4.00 and was allocated $1.90 to each share of Common Stock and 
$0.20 to the warrant to purchase a share of Common Stock. The warrants 
entitled the holder thereof to purchase a share of Common Stock for $3.00 and 
expire on June 13, 2000. Effective October 1, 1997, RMI issued and sold to Mr. 
Douglas H. Hanson 1,225,000 shares of Common Stock for a purchase price of 
$2,450,000, or $2.00 per 

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

share, as more fully described in "CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS -- CHANGE IN 
CONTROL." Mr. Hanson also became RMI's President, Chief Executive Officer and 
Chairman of the board of directors of the Company. As a result of these 
related transactions, Mr. Hanson obtained effective control of RMI and, as of 
July 8, 1998, had the authority to vote 53.9% of RMI's Common Stock. The 
Common Stock and the IPO Warrants are quoted on Nasdaq under the symbols 
"RMII" and "RMIIW," respectively.
    

   
           RMI's principal executive offices are located at: 1099 18th 
Street, Suite 3000, Denver, Colorado 80202, telephone (303) 672-0700. RMI's

                 SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED
                         FINANCIAL DATA OF THE COMPANY
    

    The following summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial 
information presented below has been derived from the unaudited and audited 
historical financial statements of RMI, ICC, Infohiway and Application 
Methods, included elsewhere in this Prospectus, and reflect management's 
present estimate of pro forma adjustments, including a preliminary estimate 
of purchase price allocations, which ultimately may be different. The pro 
forma financial data gives effect to the ICC Acquisition, and the 
acquisitions of Infohiway and Application Methods, as well as the financing 
(from the Private Placement Offering or the Bridge Loan Commitment (as 
defined below) if the Private Placement Offering is not completed) necessary 
to complete the ICC Acquisition (the "Acquisition Financing").
 
    The acquisitions are being accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at
their estimated fair values, which are subject to further adjustment based upon
appraisals and other analyses, with appropriate recognition given to the effect
of RMI's borrowing rates and income tax rates.
 
    The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the
year ended December 31, 1997 gives effect to the acquisitions as if they had
been consummated at the beginning of such year. This pro forma statement of
operations combines the historical consolidated statement of operations for the
year ended December 31, 1997 for RMI, the historical consolidated statement of
operations for the eleven months ended December 31, 1997 for ICC, the historical
combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1997 for
Application Methods and the historical statement of operations for the year
ended December 31, 1997 for Infohiway.

   
    The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for 
the three months ended March 31, 1998 gives effect to the acquisitions as if 
they had been consummated January 1, 1997. This pro forma statement of 
operations combines the historical operations for RMI, ICC, Application 
Methods and Infohiway for the three month period ended March 31, 1998.
    

    The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31,
1998 gives effect to the acquisitions as if they had been consummated on that
date. This pro forma balance sheet combines the historical consolidated balance
sheet at that date for RMI and the historical balance sheets at such date for
ICC, Application Methods and Infohiway.
 
    RMI has contractual rights under the ICC Merger Agreement to effect the 
ICC Acquisition and expects to complete the transaction as soon as possible 
after the August 10, 1998 ICC shareholders' meeting. However, there can be no 
assurance that RMI will be able to complete the ICC Acquisition at the time 
or in accordance with the terms and conditions that it currently contemplates.
 
    The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements may not 
be indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if the 
transactions described above had been completed and in effect for the periods 
indicated or the results that may be obtained in the future. The actual 
purchase accounting adjustments may be revised upon completion of the ICC 
Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data 
presented below should be read in conjunction with the audited and unaudited 
historical financial statements and related notes thereto of RMI, ICC, 
Application Methods and Infohiway and "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS" of RMI and ICC, included 
elsewhere in this Prospectus.

                     SUMMARY HISTORICAL FINANCIAL DATA--RMI

   
    The following table sets forth selected historical financial and other 
data of RMI. RMI was formed in October 1993 and has generated operating 
losses since inception as well as negative cash flow in 1996 and 1997. The 
selected data set forth below as of December 31, 1994 (not included elsewhere 
herein) and 1995 and for the periods then ended have been derived from the 
financial statements of RMI which have been audited by McGladrey & Pullen, 
LLP, independent auditors. The selected consolidated statements of operations 
and the balance sheet data set forth below as of December 31, 1996 and 1997 
and for the periods then ended have been derived from the financial 
statements of RMI which have been audited by Baird, Kurtz & Dobson, 
independent auditors. The selected financial data for the three-month periods 
ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 are derived from unaudited financial 
statements. The unaudited financial statements include all adjustments, 
consisting of normal recurring accruals, which RMI considers necessary for a 
fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for 
these periods. The operating results for the three months ended March 31, 
1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any 
future period.
    

    The summary historical financial data should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements of RMI and related Notes thereto and the
information included under "SELECTED HISTORICAL FINANCIAL DATA--RMI" and
"MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS--RMI" included elsewhere in this Prospectus.

- --------------------------

   
(1) The inception of RMI was in October 1993.  No financial statement
    information is presented for the period from inception to December 31, 1993.

(2) Loss per share is computed based on 1,868,000 shares outstanding for 1994
    and 1995, 2,295,000 shares outstanding for 1996 and 5,268,000 shares
    outstanding for 1997, and 4,634,000 and 6,783,000 shares outstanding for the
    three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively. This represents
    the weighted average of common shares outstanding for both basic and diluted
    earnings per share for each period. See Note 1 to the RMI's financial
    statements included elsewhere in this Prospectus.

(3) EBITDA is earnings from operations before interest, taxes, depreciation 
    and amortization. EBITDA is included herein because management believes 
    that certain investors find it to be a useful tool for measuring a 
    company's ability to service its debt. However, EBITDA does not represent 
    cash flow from operations, as defined by generally accepted accounting 
    principles ("GAAP"). EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for 
    net income or net loss as an indicator of RMI's operating performance or 
    for cash flow as a measure of liquidity and should be examined in 
    conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of RMI and the 
    related Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Prospectus. EBITDA as 
    defined by RMI may be different from EBITDA as defined by other companies.

(4) Ratio of earnings to fixed charges is defined as earnings divided by fixed
    charges. Earnings (loss) represent pre-tax loss from continuing operations 
    plus fixed charges. Fixed charges represent interest paid or accrued on
    indebtedness of RMI and amortization of deferred loan charges. In 
    all applicable periods, RMI had a deficiency in earnings to fixed 
    charges.

                                RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

ICC ACQUISITION

           On June 5, 1998, RMI entered into the ICC Merger Agreement 
providing for the merger of Internet Acquisition Corporation, a wholly-owned 
subsidiary of RMI with and into ICC. Upon consummation of the ICC 
Acquisition, ICC will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of RMI and the 
shareholders of ICC will receive $6.764 per share of common stock of ICC, for 
a total consideration of approximately $39.4 million. Additionally, in 
connection with the merger, RMI will repay certain of ICC indebtedness. The 
acquisition is subject to the approval of ICC's shareholders and other 
customary conditions. Interwest Group Inc. ("Interwest Group"), an affiliate 
of Anschutz Company, holds approximately 52% of the outstanding shares of 
common stock of ICC and has agreed to vote in favor of the transaction 
pursuant to a Voting Agreement dated June 5, 1998 between Interwest Group and 
RMI. The ICC shareholders' meeting will be held on August 10, 1998 and the 
ICC Acquisition is expected to be completed shortly thereafter. 

           RMI has received a bridge loan commitment (the "Bridge Loan 
Commitment") from lenders in the aggregate amount of $42 million to fund the 
ICC Acquisition if the Private Placement Offering is not completed. The 
Bridge Loan Commitment would be secured by all of the tangible and intangible 
assets of RMI and contains certain conditions precedent to the lenders' 
obligation to fund, including the obligation of Mr. Hanson to exercise the 
remaining Hanson Warrants which would provide RMI proceeds of approximately 
$7.5 million. The Bridge Loan Commitment also requires RMI to pay certain 
commitment fees of approximately $1,050,000 plus costs and expenses, and to 
issue warrants to acquire shares of RMI's Common Stock if RMI draws on the 
Bridge Loan Commitment. Additionally, upon acceptance of the Bridge Loan 
Commitment, RMI agreed to issue warrants to the lenders (and the arranger) to 
acquire 560,000 shares of Common Stock.

           ICC is a multi-faceted telecommunications and data networking 
company specializing in the design, implementation, maintenance and 
management of communications systems and networks. ICC's gross revenues for 
the eleven months ended December 31, 1997 were $33.1 million. ICC is capable 
of providing a broad communications package addressed to its customers' total 
communications needs for enterprise-wide data and voice networks.

           To provide enterprise-wide voice and data communications networks, 
ICC maintains distribution arrangements with manufacturers and suppliers, 
including 3Com, Cisco, NEC America, Northern Telecom, ADC/Kentrox and Adtran. 
To provide circuits, ICC has agreements with a number of carriers, including 
Worldcom, ICG and U S WEST and operates, itself, as an interexchange carrier 
("IXC") approved by the Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC"). To 
provide value-added services, ICC employs a highly trained technical staff 
and operates an advanced network control center which is located at ICC's 
corporate headquarters in Greenwood Village, Colorado. The network control 
center is capable of managing, monitoring and remotely diagnosing most data 
communications devices as well as the circuits connecting customer locations. 
ICC network and field engineers have a broad experience with data and voice 
communications equipment and networks.

           ICC also operates as an ISP, offering comprehensive Internet 
access for business enterprises, including circuits, data communications 
equipment, firewalls (hardware and software to enhance network security), 
high-speed connection to the Internet, and services, like network management, 
maintenance, hosting of the customer's web site and/or computers at ICC's 
facilities and Internet consulting.

           ICC has a network consulting division that offers analysis and 
recommendations on a wide range of networking requirements, issues, problems 
and concerns. ICC's network consultants perform network system engineering, 
network performance analysis and Internet design and engineering. They 
recommend and implement new network and system designs, migrations, upgrades, 
optimization and multi-platform/application integration.

           In March 1998, ICC divested non-core businesses and sales channels, 
Omega Business Communications Services, Inc. ("Sound") and Interwest Cable 
Network Systems, Inc. ("Cable"). In addition, ICC re-sized its operations to 
concentrate on areas that it believes generate recurring revenues and profits. 
As a result, 50 positions, or 21% of ICC's then-existing workforce (not 
including Sound and Cable) were eliminated. The personnel reductions were 
largely in the sales and administration departments. On June 30, 1998, ICC 
employed 170 full-time employees including 4 executive officers, 43 in sales 
and marketing, 96 in network operations and technical services and 27 in 
accounting, administration and other support areas. In addition, during the 
fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, ICC had launched an 
entirely separate wholesale engineering services business, which ICC 
discontinued as part 


                                     -15-
<PAGE>

of the restructuring. In conjunction with the restructuring, John M. 
Couzens replaced Thomas C. Galley as President and Chief Executive Officer.

           The restructuring actions described above resulted in ICC recognizing
a restructuring charge for the three months ended March 31, 1998 in the amount
of $1,608,000. This charge is comprised of several items, including employee
severance, reduction in manufacturers' product lines, closure of the wholesale
engineering services company and the consolidation of facilities. See
"MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS--ICC."

           Also in March 1998, ICC received $1.6 million from Anschutz Company,
a related party, in exchange for a convertible promissory note which, pursuant
to its amended terms, will be paid in full from proceeds of the Private 
Placement Offering.

           ICC's headquarters and principal offices are located at 7100 East
Belleview Avenue, Suite 201, Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111. Its telephone
number is (303) 770-7600. ICC conducts business throughout Colorado and in
Minneapolis, Minnesota. ICC leases under multi-year agreements approximately
73,000 square feet of office and/or office/warehouse space at lease rates
ranging from $6.00 to $12.50 per square foot at locations in Greenwood Village,
Colorado Springs, Pueblo and Fort Collins, Colorado and Minneapolis, Minnesota.

OTHER ACQUISITIONS

           On June 5, 1998, RMI acquired all of the outstanding common stock of
Infohiway pursuant to the terms of a Merger Agreement dated June 5, 1998 by and
among RMI, RMI Subsidiary, Inc., Infohiway and Kenneth Covell, John-Michael
Keyes and Jeremy J. Black, the shareholders of Infohiway (the "Infohiway Merger
Agreement"). Infohiway has developed a search engine which the Company believes
has unique data searching features. For the year ended December 31, 1997,
Infohiway had gross revenues of $31,000. The acquisition was effectuated by the
merger of RMI Subsidiary, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of RMI, with and into
Infohiway. As a result of the merger, Infohiway became a wholly-owned subsidiary
of RMI. Pursuant to the Infohiway Merger Agreement, the shareholders of
Infohiway received an aggregate of 150,000 shares of RMI Common Stock.

           On June 30, 1998, RMI acquired all of the outstanding common stock of
Application Methods. Based in Seattle, Washington, Application Methods develops
software and has recently developed an e-commerce product. For the year ended
December 31, 1997, Application Methods had gross revenues of $984,000. Pursuant
to the terms of a Merger Agreement by and among RMI, RMI Acquisition Subsidiary,
Inc. ("RMI Acquisition"), a Washington corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary
of RMI, Application Methods and Ronald M. Stevenson, Gregory A. Brown and Ronald
Nicholl, the shareholders of Application Methods, Application Methods'
shareholders received an aggregate of 286,369 shares of RMI Common Stock as a
result of the merger of RMI Acquisition with and into Application Methods. The
Application Methods shareholders may receive additional shares of Common Stock,
not to exceed $2.5 million in value, based on the satisfaction of certain
post-merger performance targets over a three-year period.

           Additionally, RMI recently entered into a non-binding memorandum of
understanding regarding the possible acquisition of Internet Now, an ISP located
in Phoenix, Arizona for approximately $1.5 million.

CHANGE IN CONTROL

           Effective October 1, 1997, RMI issued and sold to Mr. Hanson
1,225,000 shares of Common Stock for a purchase price of $2,450,000, or $2.00
per share, as more fully described in "CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS -- CHANGE IN
CONTROL." Mr. Hanson also became RMI's President, Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman of the board of directors of the Company.

                                     -16-
<PAGE>

           RMI also entered into a warrant agreement with Mr. Hanson, dated 
as of October 1, 1997, pursuant to which it agreed, subject to obtaining 
approval of RMI's stockholders of an increase in the authorized capital stock 
of RMI, to issue to Mr. Hanson warrants to purchase up to 4,000,000 shares of 
Common Stock (the "Hanson Warrants")for an exercise price of $1.90 per share, 
for a period of 18 months from the date of issuance of such warrants. As of 
the date of the warrant agreement, RMI did not have a sufficient number of 
shares of its Common Stock authorized or reserved for issuance upon the 
exercise of the Hanson Warrants. At the RMI Annual Meeting, the stockholders 
of RMI approved an amendment to RMI's Certificate of Incorporation to 
increase the number of shares of Common Stock that RMI is authorized to issue 
from 10,000,000 to 25,000,000. As a result of the approval, RMI issued all of 
the Hanson Warrants to Mr. Hanson. On March 23, 1998, Mr. Hanson exercised 
50,000 of these warrants for an aggregate exercise price of $95,000. On May 15, 
1998, Mr. Hanson exercised a portion of the Hanson Warrants to purchase 421,053 
shares of Common Stock for an aggregate exercise price of $800,000. It was 
believed at that time that RMI needed such infusion of capital to remain in 
compliance with the listing requirements of Nasdaq. RMI subsequently 
determined that such investment by Mr. Hanson was not necessary for the 
continued qualification of its Common Stock for trading on Nasdaq. 
Accordingly, RMI and Mr. Hanson rescinded his exercise of these warrants. As 
a result of the transactions described above, Mr. Hanson obtained effective 
control of RMI and, as of July 8, 1998, had the authority to vote 53.9% of 
RMI's Common Stock after giving effect to the exercise of the Hanson Warrants 
and the Hanson Options. Some or all of the Hanson Warrants and shares of Common 
Stock issuable upon the exercise thereof may be offered and sold by means of 
this Prospectus.

           RMI also granted Mr. Hanson incentive stock options to purchase
222,220 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.25 per share and
377,780 shares of Common Stock for an exercise price of $1.00 per share (the
"Hanson Options") pursuant to RMI's 1997 Stock Option Plan (the "1997 Plan"),
which plan was approved by RMI's stockholders at the RMI Annual Meeting. These
Hanson Options vest one year from the date of grant (subject to acceleration of
the vesting date by the board of directors or a committee thereof that
administers the 1997 Plan). On March 12, 1998 a committee of the board of
directors amended the 1997 Plan, retroactively to October 1, 1997, in accordance
with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), to provide that the number of incentive stock options was 191,385, the
exercise price of those options was $2.6125 and the number of non-qualified
stock options was 408,615 at an exercise price of $1.00. On March 12, 1998, Mr.
Hanson exercised all of the non-qualified stock options and purchased 408,615
shares of Common Stock pursuant to such exercise.

           It is possible that prior to the completion of the Private 
Placement Offering, RMI will need additional cash resources to meet its 
obligations. Mr. Hanson has agreed to loan RMI up to $1.0 million if such need 
arises. This agreement is not in writing and the terms have not been 
negotiated. Consequently, there can be no assurance that, if such financing 
need arises, a loan from Mr. Hanson will be available or that, if available, 
such loan will be on terms acceptable to RMI.

                                  RISK FACTORS

           AN INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES BEING OFFERED HEREBY INVOLVES A 
HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE 
FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS, IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN 
THIS PROSPECTUS, BEFORE PURCHASING THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY. THIS 
PROSPECTUS CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE RISKS AND 
UNCERTAINTIES. THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM 
THOSE DISCUSSED IN THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE 
OR CONTRIBUTE TO SUCH DIFFERENCES INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE 
DISCUSSED BELOW.

   
           SUBSTANTIAL INDEBTEDNESS; ABILITY TO SERVICE DEBT. Following the 
completion of the Private Placement Offering (or the Bridge Loan Commitment 
in the absence of completing the Private Placement Offering), the Company 
will be highly leveraged. At March 31, 1998, on a pro forma, consolidated 
basis after giving effect to the Private Placement Offering, the ICC 
Acquisition and the acquisitions of Infohiway and Application Methods, the 
Company would have had approximately $176.6 million of Indebtedness 
outstanding. The degree to which the Company is leveraged could have 
important consequences to prospective purchasers of the Securities offered 
hereby, including the following: (i) a substantial portion of the Company's 
cash flow from operations will be dedicated to payment of the interest on its 
indebtedness, thereby reducing funds available for 
    

                                       -17-
<PAGE>

other purposes; (ii) the Company's significant degree of leverage could 
increase its vulnerability to changes in general economic conditions or in 
the event of a downturn in its business; (iii) the Company's flexibility in 
planning for or reacting to changes in market conditions may be limited; (iv) 
the Company's ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, 
capital expenditures, acquisitions, general corporate purposes or other 
purposes could be impaired; and (v) the Company may be more leveraged than 
certain of its competitors, which may be a competitive disadvantage.

           The ability of the Company to meet its debt service obligations 
and satisfy its other liquidity needs will depend on the future operating 
performance and financial results of the Company, which will be subject in 
part to factors beyond the control of the Company. There can be no assurance 
that the Company will generate sufficient cash flow to meet its debt service 
requirements or otherwise satisfy its other liquidity needs. If the Company 
is unable to generate cash flow in the future sufficient to cover its fixed 
charges and is unable to borrow sufficient funds from other sources, it may 
be required to refinance all or a portion of its existing debt or to sell all 
or a portion of its assets. There can be no assurance that a refinancing 
would be possible, nor can there be any assurance as to the practicality or 
timing of any assets sales or the proceeds which the Company could realize 
therefrom. See "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION 
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES."

           FUTURE CAPITAL NEEDS; UNCERTAINTY OF ADDITIONAL FINANCING. The 
Company believes that its available cash resources combined with the net 
proceeds from the Private Placement Offering will be sufficient to meet its 
anticipated working capital needs for the next twelve months. The Company 
also believes that, if the Private Placement Offering is not completed, its 
available cash resources, when combined with the net proceeds from the Bridge 
Loan Commitment and the proceeds from the exercise of certain warrants to 
acquire shares of Common Stock subject to certain "call" provisions, will be 
sufficient to meet its anticipated working capital needs for the next twelve 
months. However, there can be no assurance the such warrants, if called, 
would be exercised or that such resources will be sufficient for the Company's 
anticipated working capital requirements. The Company may need to raise 
additional funds through public or private debt or equity financings. There 
can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on terms 
favorable to the Company, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or 
are not available on acceptable terms, such unavailability would have a 
material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and 
financial condition. See "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL 
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES."

           HISTORY OF LOSSES; NEGATIVE CASH FLOW FROM OPERATIONS; NO ASSURANCE 
OF PROFITABILITY. RMI has incurred net losses since its inception and 
management expects that the Company will incur significant additional losses. 
Prospective investors have limited operating and financial data about the 
Company upon which to base an evaluation of the Company's performance and an 
investment in the Securities offered hereby. For the years ended December 31, 
1995, 1996 and 1997, RMI had net losses of $129,000, $2,344,000 and 
$4,153,000, respectively. At December 31, 1997, RMI had negative operating 
cash flow of $3,297,000. In addition, ICC has incurred losses since its fiscal 
year 1995 and had negative operating cash flow in the eleven months ended 
December 31, 1997 before the effect of the elimination of net cash used in 
operating activities of discontinued operations. There can be no assurance 
that the Company will achieve or sustain positive operating cash flow or 
generate net income in the future. To achieve profitability, the Company must, 
among other things, increase its customer base and develop and market products 
and services that are broadly accepted. There can be no assurance that the 
Company will ever achieve broad commercial acceptance or profitability. See 
"-- INCREASING COMPETITION," "-- DEPENDENCE ON THE INTERNET; UNCERTAIN 
ADOPTION OF INTERNET AS A MEDIUM OF COMMERCE AND COMMUNICATIONS" and 
"MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF 
OPERATIONS -- LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES."

           The Company believes that as a result of the expansion to be 
undertaken after the completion of the Private Placement Offering, it will 
incur further losses during the 1998 fiscal year due to the interest payments 
due pursuant to the terms of the Private Placement Offering and the fact that 
certain expenses (e.g., marketing) are incurred and recognized prior to the 
earning and recognition of the revenue to which such expenses would relate. 
However, there can be no assurance that after incurring such expenses, there 
will be an increase in revenues or that the Company will attain profitability 
in future operating periods or that it will have sufficient cash available to 
meet continuing losses, necessary capital expenditures and/or the repayment 
of the debt incurred in connection with the Private Placement Offering. See 
"MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF 
OPERATIONS."

           POTENTIAL FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING RESULTS. The Company's 
operating results may in the future vary, depending upon factors such as the 
timing and installation of circuits ordered by the Company, which in the past 
have been and in the future are expected to be, delayed from time to time by 
delays in the installation of lines and equipment by the Company's 
telecommunications suppliers. Additional factors contributing to variability 
of operating results may include the pricing and mix of services and products 
sold by the Company, terminations of service by subscribers, introductions of 
new products and services by the Company and its competitors, market 
acceptance of new and enhanced versions of the Company's services, changes in 
pricing policies by its competitors, the timing of the expansion of the 
Company's network infrastructure and entry into new businesses. In response 
to competitive pressures, the Company may take certain pricing or marketing 
actions that could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, 
financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. Variations in the 
timing and amounts of revenues could have a material adverse effect on the 
Company's operating results.


                                     -18-
<PAGE>

           INTEGRATION OF ICC ACQUISITION; AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL. RMI and 
ICC have entered into the ICC Merger Agreement with the expectation that the 
ICC Acquisition will result in certain benefits of the combined company. See 
"RECENT DEVELOPMENTS -- ICC ACQUISITION." Achieving the anticipated benefits 
of the ICC Acquisition will depend in part upon whether the integration of 
the two companies' businesses is achieved in an efficient and effective 
manner and there can be no assurance that the companies' operations can be 
successfully integrated or that any of the perceived benefits of the ICC 
Acquisition will be realized. In addition, the ICC Acquisition may have 
certain negative effects upon the business of the Company, such as the 
potential loss of customers due to perceived conflicts, duplication of work 
force and incompatibility of accounting and other systems. The integration of 
ICC's business following the ICC Acquisition will pose unique challenges to 
management of the Company and the Company intends to rely, to a large extent, 
on ICC's management to effect such integration. The combination of the two 
companies will require, among other things, coordination of the companies' 
sales and marketing and information technology and development activities. 
There can be no assurance that integration will be accomplished on a timely 
basis, or at all. The integration of certain operations following the ICC 
Acquisition will require the dedication of management resources which may 
divert attention from the day-to-day business of the combined company. 
Failure to effectively accomplish the integration of the two companies' 
operations could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of 
operations and financial condition. The ICC Acquisition will be accounted for 
under purchase accounting and it is expected that the Company will incur an 
approximately $4.2 million annual expense as a result of the related 
amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets.

           RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANY'S ACQUISITION STRATEGY. In addition, 
as part of its long-term business strategy, the Company may pursue other 
acquisitions of other companies. There can be no assurance that the Company 
will be able to identify, acquire, or profitably manage additional businesses 
or successfully integrate acquired businesses, if any, into the Company 
without substantial costs, delays, or other operational or financial 
problems. Further, acquisitions may involve a number of special risks, 
including potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence 
of additional debt, diversion of management's attention, failure to retain 
key acquired personnel, risks associated with unanticipated events or 
circumstances or legal liabilities and amortization of expenses related to 
goodwill and other intangible assets, some or all of which could have a 
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, 
results of operations and cash flow. In addition, there can be no assurance 
that acquired businesses, if any, will achieve anticipated revenues and 
earnings. The potential inability of the Company to implement and manage its 
acquisition strategy successfully may have an adverse effect on the future 
prospects of the Company. See "BUSINESS -- BUSINESS STRATEGY." Finally, 
certain agreements to which the Company is subject contain certain 
restrictions on the ability of the Company to make acquisitions.

           MANAGEMENT OF GROWTH; NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL. The Company's 
rapid growth has placed and in the future may continue to place, a 
significant strain on the Company's administrative, operational and financial 
resources and increased demands on its systems and controls. The Company 
intends to expand its Internet network and telecommunications services 
nationwide. The Company anticipates that its continued growth will require it 
to recruit and hire new managerial, technical, sales, administrative and 
marketing personnel. This problem may be exacerbated to the extent the 
Company is able to acquire additional businesses, as each such business must 
then be integrated into the Company's operations and systems. See "-- RISKS 
RELATED TO THE COMPANY'S ACQUISITION STRATEGY." The inability to continue to 
upgrade the networking systems or the operating and financial control 
systems, the inability to recruit and hire necessary personnel, or the 
emergence of unexpected expansion difficulties would adversely affect the 
Company's business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

           Developments in the Company's business and possible expansion into 
other markets could indicate that the Company should expand its business at a 
faster rate than that currently planned for. Moreover, there can be no 
assurance that the Company will not encounter unforeseen difficulties that 
may deplete its capital resources more rapidly than anticipated, which would 
require that the Company seek additional funds through equity, debt, or other 
external financing. There can be no assurance that any additional capital 


                                     -19-
<PAGE>

resources that the Company may need will be available to the Company if and 
when required, or on terms that will be acceptable to the Company. If 
additional financing is required, or desired, the Company may be required to 
forego a substantial interest in its future revenues or dilute the equity 
interests of existing security holders and a change in control of the Company 
may result.

           DEPENDENCE UPON NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE. The Company's success will 
partially depend upon its ability to develop a reputation for reliability 
over the long term and the security of its current and future network 
connections. The Company must continue to expand and adapt its network 
infrastructure as the number of users and the amount of information they wish 
to transfer increases and as the requirements of its customers change. The 
expansion of the Company's Internet network infrastructure will require 
substantial financial, operational and management resources. There can be no 
assurance that the Company will be able to expand or adapt its network 
infrastructure to meet additional demand or its customers' changing 
requirements on a timely basis, at a commercially reasonable cost, or at all. 
In addition, if demand for usage of the Company's network were to increase 
faster than projected, the network could experience capacity constraints, 
which would adversely affect the performance of the system. Any failure of 
the Company to expand its network infrastructure on a timely basis or adapt 
it to either changing customer requirements or evolving industry standards, 
or capacity constraints experienced by the Company's network for any reason, 
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial 
condition and results of operations.

           DEPENDENCE ON THE INTERNET; UNCERTAIN ADOPTION OF INTERNET AS A 
MEDIUM OF COMMERCE AND COMMUNICATIONS. Many of the Company's existing and 
proposed products and services are targeted toward users of the Internet. As 
is typical in the case of a new and rapidly evolving industry characterized 
by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards and frequent new 
product and service introductions, demand and market acceptance for recently 
introduced products and services are subject to a high level of uncertainty. 
In addition, critical issues concerning the commercial use of the Internet 
remain unresolved and may impact the growth of Internet use, especially in 
the business market targeted by the Company. Despite growing interest in the 
many commercial uses of the Internet, many businesses have been deterred from 
purchasing Internet access services for a number of reasons, including, among 
others, inconsistent quality of service, lack of availability of 
cost-effective, high-speed options, a limited number of POPs for corporate 
users, inability to integrate business applications on the Internet, the need 
to deal with multiple and frequently incompatible vendors, inadequate 
protection of the confidentiality of stored data and information moving 
across the Internet and a lack of tools to simplify Internet access and use. 
Published reports have indicated that a perceived lack of security of 
commercial data, such as credit card numbers, has significantly impeded 
commercial exploitation of the Internet to date and there can be no assurance 
that encryption or other technologies will be developed that satisfactorily 
address these security concerns. Published reports have also indicated that 
capacity constraints caused by growth in the use of the Internet may, unless 
resolved, impede further development of the Internet to the extent that users 
experience delays, transmission errors and other difficulties. Further, the 
adoption of the Internet for commerce and communications, particularly by 
those individuals and enterprises that have historically relied upon 
alternative means of commerce and communication, generally requires the 
understanding and acceptance of a new way of conducting business and 
exchanging information. In particular, enterprises that have already invested 
substantial resources in other means of conducting commerce and exchanging 
information may be particularly reluctant or slow to adopt a new strategy 
that may make their existing personnel and infrastructure obsolete.

           The Company is also at risk as a result of fundamental 
technological changes in the way Internet solutions may be marketed and 
delivered. Integrating technological advances may require substantial time 
and expense and there can be no assurance that the Company will succeed in 
adapting its network infrastructure. While the Company believes that its plan 
of combining the scale and scope of a national operation with the local 
presence of its ISP operations offers significant advantages for commerce and 
communication over the Internet, there can be no assurance that commerce and 
communication over the Internet will become widespread, or that the Company's 
offered Internet access and communications services 


                                     -20-
<PAGE>

will become widely adopted for these purposes. The failure of the market for 
business-related Internet solutions to continue to develop would adversely 
impact the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and 
cash flow.

           In addition, new technologies or industry standards have the 
potential to replace or provide lower cost alternatives to the Company's 
existing products and services. The adoption of such new technologies or 
industry standards could render the Company's existing products and services 
obsolete and unmarketable. For example, the Company's Internet connectivity 
services rely on the continued widespread commercial use of Transmission 
Control Protocol/Internet Protocol ("TCP/IP"). Alternative open and 
proprietary protocol standards that compete with TCP/IP, including 
proprietary protocols developed by IBM and Novell, Inc., have been or are 
being developed. If the market for Internet access services fails to develop, 
develops more slowly than expected, or becomes saturated with competitors, or 
if the Internet access and services offered by the Company are not broadly 
accepted, the Company's business, operating results, financial condition and 
cash flow will be materially adversely affected. Although the Company intends 
to support emerging standards in the market for Internet connectivity, there 
can be no assurance that industry standards will emerge or if they become 
established, that the Company will be able to conform to these new standards 
in a timely fashion and maintain a competitive position in the market.

           RISK OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE AND EVOLVING INDUSTRY STANDARDS. To date
the Company has not been adversely affected by product or service obsolescence
because changes in the Internet service industry have been largely a matter of
improvements in hardware which have been readily available to the Company and
its competitors. The Company's future success depends, however, upon its ability
to develop new services that meet changing customer requirements. The market for
the Company's service is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving
industry standards, emerging competition and frequent new service introductions.
There can be no assurance that the Company can successfully identify new
opportunities and develop and bring new services to market in a timely manner or
that services or technologies developed by others will not render the Company's
services noncompetitive or obsolete. Also, there can be no assurance that the
Company will have the necessary resources to obtain advances in technology
necessary to remain competitive. The Company also faces the risk that
fundamental changes may occur in the delivery of Internet access services.
Currently, Internet services are accessed primarily by computers and are
delivered by telephone lines. If the Internet becomes accessible by screen-based
telephones, television, or other consumer electronic devices or becomes
deliverable through other means such as coaxial cable or wireless transmission,
the Company will have to develop new technology or modify its existing
technology to accommodate these developments. Required technological advances by
the Company as the industry evolves could include compression, full-motion video
and integration of video, voice, data and graphics. The Company's pursuit of
these technological advances, whether directly through internal development or
by third party license, may require substantial time and expense and there can
be no assurance that the Company will succeed in adapting its Internet service
business to alternate access devices and conduits or that new technologies will
be available to the Company at all.

   
           The Company believes that its ability to compete successfully is also
dependent upon the continued compatibility and interoperability of its services
with products and architectures offered by various vendors. Although the Company
intends to support emerging standards in the market for Internet access, there
can be no assurance that any industry standards will be established or, if they
become established, that the Company will be able to conform to these new
standards in a timely fashion or maintain a competitive position in the market.
There can be no assurance that the announcement or introduction of new products 
or services by the Company or its competitors or any change in industry 
standards will not cause customers to defer or cancel purchases of existing 
products or services, which could have a material adverse effect on the 
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The failure 
of the Company to anticipate the prevailing standards, or the failure of common 
standards to emerge could have a material adverse effect 
    

                                     -21-
<PAGE>

on the Company's business and results of operations. In addition, there can 
be assurance that services or technologies developed by others will render 
the Company's services or technology uncompetitive or obsolete.

           POTENTIAL LIABILITY FOR INFORMATION DISSEMINATED THROUGH NETWORK. 
The law relating to the liability of ISPs and on-line service companies for 
information carried on or disseminated through their networks has not yet 
been definitively established. Internet access and content providers face 
potential liability of uncertain scope for the actions of subscribers and 
others using their systems, including liability for infringement of 
intellectual property rights, rights of publicity, defamation, libel and 
criminal activity under the laws of the United States and foreign 
jurisdictions.

           The Company does not maintain errors and omissions insurance. Any 
imposition of liability on the Company for alleged negligence, intentional 
torts, or other liability could have a material adverse effect on the 
Company. In addition, recent legislative enactments and pending legislative 
proposals aimed at limiting the use of the Internet to transmit indecent or 
pornographic materials could, depending upon their interpretation and 
application, result in significant potential liability to Internet access and 
service providers including the Company, as well as additional costs and 
technological challenges in complying with any statutory or regulatory 
requirements imposed by such legislation. For example, the Communications 
Decency Act of 1996 (amending 47 U.S.C. Section 223), which is part of the 
Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "1996 Telecommunications Act"), became 
effective on February 8, 1996. The 1996 Telecommunications Act would impose 
criminal liability on persons sending or displaying in a manner available to 
minors indecent material on an interactive computer service such as the 
Internet and on an entity knowingly permitting facilities under its control 
to be used for such activities. While the constitutionality of these 
provisions has been successfully challenged in federal appellate court, the 
U.S. Department of Justice has appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court and there 
can be no assurance as to the final result regarding the constitutionality of 
the 1996 Telecommunications Act, or as to the scope and content of any 
substitute legislation or other legislation in the United States or foreign 
jurisdictions restricting the type of content being provided over the 
Internet. If these provisions or related legislation are upheld, the effect 
on the Internet industry could have a material adverse effect on the 
Company's business, financial condition, results of operation, or cash flow. 
In addition, CompuServe, Corp. ("CompuServe") faced action by German 
authorities in response to which CompuServe temporarily restricted the scope 
of the Internet access it provides to all subscribers, both in the United 
States and internationally. A number of countries are considering content 
restrictions based on such factors as political or religious views expressed 
and pornography or indecency.

           INCREASING COMPETITION. The markets in which the Company operates 
and intends to operate are extremely competitive and can be significantly 
influenced by the marketing and pricing decisions of the larger industry 
participants.

                    INTERNET ACCESS. The Company expects competition in these 
markets to intensify in the future. There are no substantial barriers to 
entry in the Internet access markets in which the Company competes. The 
Company's current and prospective competitors in the Internet access market 
include many large companies that have substantially greater market presence 
and financial, technical, operational, marketing and other resources and 
experience than the Company. The Company's Internet access business competes 
or expects to compete directly or indirectly with the following categories of 
companies: (i) other national and regional commercial ISPs, such as Verio 
Inc. or one or more of its affiliates and PSINet, Inc. ("PSINet"); (ii) 
established on-line services companies that currently offer Internet access, 
such as America Online, Inc. ("AOL"), CompuServe and Prodigy Services 
Company; (iii) computer hardware and software and other technology companies, 
such as Microsoft Corporation ("Microsoft"); (iv) national long-distance 
telecommunications carriers, such as AT&T (AT&T WorldNet), MCI (MCI Internet), 
Sprint (SprintNet) and Qwest Communications International, Inc.; (v) regional 
Bell operating companies ("RBOCs" or "I-LECs"); (vi) cable television system 
operators, such as Comcast Corporation, Tele-Communications, Inc. ("TCI") and 
Time Warner Inc.; (vii) nonprofit or educational ISPs; and (viii) newly-licensed
providers 


                                     -22-
<PAGE>

of spectrum-based wireless data services. Modems offered by cable television 
companies can transmit information at speeds of up to 10 megabits per second, 
as opposed to the Company's K56 Flex (enhanced speed modem) service, which 
can transmit information at speed of up to only 56 kilobits per second. In 
addition, TCI recently announced it had reached separate agreements with Sun 
Microsystems, Inc. and Microsoft to produce the software necessary to permit 
persons to access the Internet through television set-top boxes beginning in 
1999.

                    TELECOMMUNICATION SERVICES. The Company's intention to 
provide traditional long distance service will place it directly in 
competition with IXCs, which engage in the provision of long-distance access 
and other long-distance resellers and providers, including large carriers such 
as AT&T, MCI, Sprint and WorldCom and new entrants to the long distance market 
such as the RBOCs who have entered or have announced plans to enter the U.S. 
intrastate and interstate long-distance market pursuant to recent legislation 
authorizing such entry. See "REGULATION." On April 22, 1998, the Public 
Utilities Commission of Colorado granted the request of Rocky Mountain 
Broadband, Inc. ("RMB"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of RMI, to become a 
competitive local exchange carrier ("C-LEC"). Likewise, the Company's 
intention to provide IP Telephony services and C-LEC services will place it 
directly in competition with other providers (either resellers or 
facilities-based carriers) that provide the same services. Most of the 
Company's competitors are significantly larger and have substantially greater 
market presence as well as financial, technical, operational, marketing and 
other resources and experience than the Company.

           PRICING PRESSURES. The Company reduced the prices it charges its 
Internet customers during 1995, 1997 and 1998 partly as a result of 
competitive pricing pressures in the market for Internet services. The 
Company expects that continued price pressures may cause the Company to 
reduce prices further in order to remain competitive and the Company expects 
that such further price reductions would adversely effect the Company's 
results of operations and its ability to attain profitability, unless it can 
lower its costs commensurate with such price decreases. The Company may also 
face price pressures from its competitors in the telecommunications services 
markets in which the Company intends to compete. There is no assurance that 
the Company can attain profitability while pricing its services competitively.

   
           SECURITY RISKS. A risk faced by all ISPs, including the Company, 
is the risk that, despite the implementation of network security measures by 
the Company, its infrastructure remains vulnerable to computer viruses, 
sabotage, break-ins and similar disruptive problems caused by its subscribers 
or other Internet users. Computer viruses, break-ins, or other problems 
caused by third parties could lead to interruptions, delays, or a cessation 
in service to the Company's subscribers. Furthermore, inappropriate use of 
the Internet by third parties could potentially jeopardize the security of 
confidential information stored in the computer systems of the Company's 
customers, which may deter potential subscribers and may inhibit the growth 
of the Internet service industry in general. Security problems continue to 
plague public and private data networks. Recent break-ins reported in the 
press and otherwise have reached computers connected to the Internet at major 
corporations and Internet access providers and have involved the theft of 
information, including incidents in which hackers bypassed fire walls by 
posing as trusted computers. Alleviating or attempting to avoid problems caused 
by computer viruses, break-ins, or other problems caused by third parties may 
require significant expenditures of capital and resources by the Company, 
which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results 
of operations, financial condition and cash flow. Until more comprehensive 
security technologies are developed, the security and privacy concerns of 
existing and potential customers may inhibit the growth of the Internet 
service industry in general and the Company's customer base and revenues in 
particular. Moreover, if the Company experiences a breach of network security 
or privacy, there can be no assurance that the Company's customers will not 
assert or threaten claims against the Company based on or arising out of such 
breach, or that any such claims will not be upheld, which could have a 
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, 
results of operations, or cash flow.
    

           RISKS OF SYSTEM FAILURE. The Company's Internet operations are 
dependent upon its ability to protect its network infrastructure against 
damage from acts of nature, power failures, telecommunications failures 


                                     -23-
<PAGE>

and similar events. Physical protection of the Company's network 
infrastructure is a primary responsibility of the Company. However, because 
it leases its lines from long-distance telecommunications companies, RBOCs 
and C-LECs, the Company is dependent upon these companies for physical repair 
and maintenance of the leased lines. Despite precautions taken by the 
Company, the occurrence of a natural disaster or other unanticipated problems 
at the Company's NOC or any of its POPs may cause interruptions in the 
services provided by the Company. In addition, failure of the Company's 
telecommunications providers to provide the data communications capacity 
required by the Company as a result of a natural disaster, operational 
disruption or for any other reason could cause interruptions in the services 
provided by the Company. Any damage or failure that causes interruptions in 
the Company's operations could have a material adverse effect on the 
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The 
Company has, from time to time, experienced failures relating to individual 
POPs.

           DEPENDENCE ON TELECOMMUNICATIONS ACCESS. All Internet and most 
telecommunications service providers, including the Company, depend on other 
companies to provide communications capacity via leased facilities. If one or 
more of these companies is unable or unwilling to provide or expand its 
current levels of service to the Company in the future, the Company's 
operations could be materially and adversely affected. Although leased 
facilities are available from several alternative suppliers, including AT&T, 
MCI, Sprint and WorldCom, there can be no assurance that the Company could 
obtain substitute services from other providers at reasonable or comparable 
prices or in a timely fashion. In addition, the Company is dependent on local 
telephone companies to provide local dial-up and leased, high-speed dedicated 
access phone lines for access to each of the Company's POPs. The Company is 
presently dependent on US West (an RBOC), ICG Communications, Inc. and 
Teleport Communications Group, all of which are competitors of the Company, 
to provide timely installation of new circuits and to maintain existing 
circuits. The Company has experienced delays in the installation of circuits 
and inconsistencies in maintenance service which have adversely affected the 
Company's rate of growth.

           DEPENDENCE UPON SUPPLIERS. In order to provide Internet access and 
other on-line services to its customers, the Company leases long distance 
fiber optic telecommunications lines from multiple national 
telecommunications services provider. The Company is dependent upon these 
providers of data communications facilities. In addition, the Company has a 
wholesale usage agreement with PSINet, which allows the Company to provide 
dial-up and "switched" network access to its customers through PSINet's 235 
POPs throughout the United States and has other agreements with service 
providers which the Company relies on to deliver its product and service 
offerings. Certain of the Company's suppliers, including RBOCs and C-LECs, 
currently are subject to various price constraints, including tariff 
controls, which in the future may change. In addition, regulatory proposals 
are pending that may affect the prices charged by the RBOCs and C-LECs to the 
Company. Such regulatory changes could result in increased prices of products 
and services, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's 
business, financial condition and results of operations.

           The Company relies on other companies to supply certain components of
its computer inventory as well as its network infrastructure (including
telecommunications services and networking equipment) which, in the quantities
and quality required by the Company, is available only from sole or limited
sources. The Company has in the past and may from time to time, experience
delays in receiving telecommunications services and shipments of merchandise
purchased for resale. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
obtain such telecommunication services and shipments of merchandise on the scale
and at the times required by the Company at an affordable cost, or at all. There
also can be no assurance that the Company's suppliers will not enter into
exclusive arrangements with the Company's competitors to stop selling their
products or components to the Company at commercially reasonable prices, or at
all, or that such agreements will be terminated for other reasons. Any failure
of the Company's sole or limited-source suppliers to provide products or
components that comply with its standards could have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.


                                     -24-
<PAGE>

   
           DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL. The Company's success depends to a
significant degree upon the continued contributions of its senior operating
management, the loss of which services could have a detrimental effect on the
Company. The Company's employment agreements with senior operating management,
if any, do not significantly limit their ability to compete with the Company
following termination. The Company does not maintain key person life insurance
on any of its personnel. The Company's success will also depend on its ability
to attract and retain other qualified management, marketing, technical and sales
executives and personnel.
    

           DIFFICULTIES IN IMPLEMENTING LOCAL EXCHANGE AND LONG DISTANCE 
TELEPHONY SERVICES. The Company is a recent entrant into the newly created 
competitive local telephony services industry. The local exchange telephony 
services market in most states was only recently opened to competition due to 
the passage of the 1996 Telecommunications Act and related regulatory 
rulings. There are numerous operating complexities associated with providing 
these services. The Company will be required to develop new products, 
services and systems and will need to develop new marketing initiatives to 
sell these services. The inability to overcome any of these operating 
complexities could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of 
operations and financial condition. In addition, the Company's local exchange 
telephony services may not be profitable due to, among other factors, 
attempts by local governments to impose franchise fees on C-LECs, attempts by 
property owners to obtain unreasonable access payments, lack of customer 
demand, difficulties initiating service and competition and pricing pressure 
from the I-LECs and other C-LECs. There can be no assurance that the Company 
will be able to successfully implement its services strategy.

           The Company intends to resell local telephony services provided by 
I-LECs. Although the 1996 Telecommunications Act requires all I-LECs to 
permit resale of their telephony services without unreasonable restrictions 
or conditions and requires I-LECs to offer their retail telecommunications 
services to other telecommunications carriers for resale at discounted rates, 
based on the costs avoided by the I-LEC in such offering, there can be no 
assurance that the Company will be able to initiate or provide service in a 
timely manner or at competitive prices. The Company's ability to expand its 
services to new markets will require the negotiation of additional resale 
agreements with the I-LECs, which can require considerable time, effort and 
expenses and are subject to federal, state and local regulation.

           The Company also offers long distance services to its customers. The
long distance business is highly competitive and prices have declined
substantially in recent years and are expected to continue to decline. In
addition, the long distance industry has historically had a high average churn
rate and customers continue to change local distance providers frequently in
response to the offering of lower rate or promotional incentives by competitors.
The Company relies on other carriers to provide transmission and termination
services for all of its long distance traffic pursuant to resale agreements.
Such agreements typically provide for the resale of long distance services on a
per-minute basis. Negotiation of these agreements involves estimates of future
supply and demand for transmission capacity as well as estimates of the calling
pattern and traffic levels of the Company's future customers. In the event the
Company underestimates its need for transmission capacity, it may be required to
obtain capacity through more expensive means.

           GOVERNMENT REGULATORY POLICY RISKS; POTENTIAL TAXES. The
telecommunications businesses in which the Company engages are subject to
extensive federal and state regulation. The provision of long distance telephone
service is subject to the provisions of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, including amendments effected by the 1996 Telecommunications Act and
the FCC regulations thereunder, as well as the applicable laws and regulations
of the various states, including regulation by Public Utility Commissions
("PUCs") and other state agencies. Federal laws and FCC regulations apply to
interstate telecommunications (including international telecommunications that
originate or terminate in the United States), while state regulatory authorities
have jurisdiction over telecommunications both originating and terminating
within a state.

           Regulation of the telecommunications industry is changing rapidly and
the regulatory environment varies substantially from state to state. Moreover,
as deregulation at the federal level occurs, some states are reassessing the
level and scope of regulation that may be applicable to the Company. There can
be no assurance that future regulatory, judicial, or legislative activities will
not have a material adverse effect on the Company, or that domestic or
international regulators or third parties will not raise material issues with
regard to the Company's compliance or noncompliance with applicable regulations.


                                     -25-

           A recent federal legislative change, the 1996 Telecommunications Act,
may have potentially significant effects on the operations of the Company. The
1996 Telecommunications Act, among other things, allows the RBOCs and other
companies to enter the long distance business and enables other entities,
including entities affiliated with power utilities and ventures between local
exchange carriers ("LECs") and cable television companies, to provide an
expanded range of telecommunications services. Entry of such companies into the
long distance business would result in substantial additional competition in one
of the markets into which the Company intends to expand and may have a material
adverse effect on the Company and its efforts to expand in this market.

           On April 10, 1998, the FCC submitted a report to Congress in which 
it stated that telephone-to-telephone IP Telephony bears the characteristics 
of "telecommunications services" and that the providers of those services may 
be "telecommunications carriers," as those terms are defined in the 1996 
Telecommunications Act. The FCC deferred a more definitive resolution of this 
issue until a more "fully-developed" record is available. However, the April 10,
1998 report states that, to the extent the FCC concludes that certain forms of 
telephone-to-telephone IP Telephony service are "telecommunications 
services," and to the extent the providers of those services obtain the same 
circuit-switched access as obtained by other IXCs and therefore impose the 
same burdens on the local exchange as do other IXCs, the FCC "may find it 
reasonable that they" become subject to the same regulations, including the 
requirement to pay access fees to LECs and to contribute to "universal 
service" subsidies. See "BUSINESS -- BUSINESS STRATEGY" and "REGULATION." In 
addition, a number of state and local government officials have asserted the 
right or indicated a willingness to impose taxes on Internet-related services 
and commerce, including sales, use and access taxes. Certain proposed federal 
legislation is being considered that would, if enacted as currently proposed, 
place a moratorium on the imposition by state and local governments of new 
taxes on ISPs or other businesses involved in Internet-related commerce. 
However, there can be no assurance that such legislation will be enacted or, 
if enacted, that such legislation will embody the features referred to 
herein. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that federal taxes will not be 
imposed upon such services. The Company cannot predict whether the imposition 
of any such additional taxes would have a material adverse effect on the 
Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.
   
           YEAR 2000 RISKS. Currently, many computer systems, hardware and 
software products are coded to accept only two digit entries in the date code 
field and, consequently, cannot distinguish 21st century dates from 20th 
century dates. As a result, many companies' software and computer systems may 
need to be upgraded or replaced in order to comply with such "Year 2000" 
requirements.  RMI, ICC and third parties with which  RMI and ICC do business 
rely on numerous computer programs in their day to day operations.  
RMI's board of directors has appointed a committee which has begun the 
process of identifying computer systems that could be affected by the Year 
2000 issue, but RMI and ICC have not yet estimated the costs of addressing 
the Year 2000 issue as it relates to RMI's and ICC's internal hardware and 
software, as well as third party computer systems with which RMI and ICC 
interact. ICC has a year 2000 readiness plan and has begun the process of 
identifying computer systems of ICC and third party vendors and business 
partners with which ICC interacts which could be affected by the year 2000 
issue.  In the event that RMI acquires other assets or businesses, the 
software and hardware acquired by RMI in connection with those business 
combinations may also be Year 2000 non-compliant. There can be no assurance 
that the Year 2000 issues will be resolved in 1998 or 1999. RMI may incur 
significant costs in resolving its Year 2000 issues. If not resolved, this 
issue would have a material adverse impact on RMI's business, operating 
results, financial condition and cash flow.

           VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICES AND PENNY STOCK RULES. The Issuer's 
Common Stock is qualified for trading on Nasdaq. The prices at which the 
Issuer's Common Stock has been traded have varied considerably since the 
Common Stock was qualified for trading on Nasdaq. There can be no assurance 
that the Issuer will continue to be able to satisfy certain specified 
financial tests and market related criteria required for continued listing on 
the Nasdaq. If the Issuer's Common Stock were no longer qualified for 
trading on Nasdaq, trading, if any, would thereafter be conducted in the 
over-the-counter market, so called "pink sheets" or the "Electronic Bulletin 
Board" of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and 
consequently, an investor could find it more difficult to dispose of, or to 
obtain, accurate quotations as to the price of, the Issuer's Common 
Stock. In addition, the Issuer could become subject to rules adopted by 
the Commission regulating broker-dealer practices in connection with 
transactions in "penny stocks." Penny stocks generally are equity securities 
with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain 
national securities exchanges or quoted on Nasdaq, provided that current 
price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities 
is provided by the exchange or Nasdaq system). Unless an exemption from the 
definition of a "penny stock" were available, any broker engaging in a 
transaction in the Issuer's Common Stock would be required to provide any 
customer with a risk disclosure document, disclosure of market conditions, if 
any, disclosure of the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson 
in the transaction and monthly accounts showing the market values of the 
Issuer's Common Stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer 
quotation and compensation information must be provided prior to effecting 
the transaction and must be contained on the customer's confirmation. It may 
be anticipated that many brokers will be unwilling to engage in transactions 
in the Issuer's Common Stock because of the need to comply with the 
"penny stock" rules, thereby making it more difficult for purchasers of 
Common Stock to dispose of their shares or for the Company to raise 
additional capital through equity financings.

           LACK OF ESTABLISHED TRADING MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK AND IPO 
WARRANTS. Trading in the Issuer's Common Stock and IPO Warrants had been 
inactive until March 1998. There can be no assurance that an active market 
can or will be maintained for the trading of the Issuer's Common Stock. 
Purchasers of the Issuer's Common Stock may, therefore, find it difficult to 
dispose of these securities. 


                                      -27-

           CONTROL BY MANAGEMENT. As the result of a recent investment in RMI 
by Mr. Hanson, RMI issued and sold to Mr. Hanson 1,225,000 shares of Common 
Stock for a purchase price of $2,450,000, or $2.00 per share, as more fully 
described in "CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS -- CHANGE IN CONTROL." Mr. Hanson also 
became RMI's President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the board of 
directors of the Company. As a result of these related transactions, Mr. 
Hanson obtained effective control of RMI and, as of July 8, 1998, had the 
authority to vote 53.9% of RMI's Common Stock after giving effect to the 
exercise of the Hanson Warrants and the Hanson Options. The officers and 
directors of the Company as a group beneficially own as of July 8, 1998 
approximately 59.3% of the Company's Common Stock after giving effect to the 
exercise of the Hanson Warrants and Hanson Options. As a result, these 
stockholders will be able to exercise significant influence over all matters 
requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and 
approval of significant corporate transactions. Such concentration of capital 
stock may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control 
of the Company.

           POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS OF ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK OR COMMON 
STOCK. The Issuer has 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 750,000 shares of 
Preferred Stock authorized, of which 7,805,636 shares of Common Stock and no 
shares of Preferred Stock were outstanding as of July 8, 1998. Another 
855,364 shares of Common Stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to the 
Issuer's stock option plans and other stock options granted and 7,180,758 
shares of Common Stock have been reserved for issuance upon exercise of 
various warrants, including the IPO Warrants, the Hanson Warrants, warrants 
issued to lenders in connection with the Bridge Loan Commitment and shares 
issuable pursuant to various anti-dilution provisions contained in the 
warrants and options described above. In addition, there are approximately 
151,515 (assuming a $16.50 per share price at the date of calculation) 
additional shares of Common Stock that may be issued in connection with the 
acquisition of Application Methods. Accordingly, after giving effect to the 
shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the options and warrants 
described above, there are approximately 9,006,727 shares of Common Stock and 
750,000 shares of Preferred Stock that may be issued in the future at the 
discretion of the Issuer's board of directors. The Preferred Stock may be 
directed to be issued by the board of directors in its discretion without 
stockholder approval, with such designations, preferences, dividend rates, 
conversion and other features as the board of directors may determine. The 
rights of the holders of Common Stock will be subject to and may be adversely 
affected by the terms of any additional classes of Preferred Stock that the 
Issuer may issue in the future. The issuance of such shares of undesignated 
Preferred Stock, while potentially providing desirable flexibility in 
connection with possible acquisitions and serving other corporate purposes, 
could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to 
acquire, or may discourage a third party from attempting to acquire, a 
majority of the outstanding voting stock of the Issuer. The issuance of 
Preferred Stock also could decrease the amount of earnings and assets 
available for distribution to the holders of Common Stock. In addition, 
future issuances of shares of Common Stock could materially and adversely 
affect the market price of the Common Stock, and could materially impair the 
Issuer's future ability to raise capital through an offering of equity 
securities. No predictions can be made as to the effect, if any, that market 
sales of such shares or the availability of such shares for future sale will 
have on the market price of the Common Stock prevailing from time to time.
    
           In addition, the stockholders of RMI approved, at the RMI Annual
Meeting, an amendment to RMI's Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse
exchange (a "Reverse Stock Split") of RMI's Common Stock. The Reverse Stock
Split would be in a ratio of up to one-for-ten and would be effected in the
event that the board of directors determines that such a Reverse Stock Split is
desirable at any time within one year from the date of the RMI Annual Meeting,
with the exact ratio of the Reverse Stock Split to be determined by the board of
directors in its discretion. Although the board of directors has no present
intention of doing so, the additional shares of authorized but unissued Common
Stock that may result from the proposed Reverse Stock Split could also be used
by the board of directors to defeat or delay a hostile takeover. Faced with an
actual or proposed hostile takeover, the directors could issue shares of Common
Stock, in a private transaction, to a friendly party that might align itself
with the board of directors in opposing a hostile takeover. Accordingly, the
Reverse Stock Split could be considered to have the effect of discouraging a
takeover of the Company. The directors are not aware, however, of any current
proposals by any party to acquire control of the Company and the Reverse Stock
Split is not intended to be an anti-takeover device.

           SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE. As of July 8, 1998, there were
outstanding 2,149,646 shares of Common Stock that were issued in connection
with various transactions, all of which are deemed to be "restricted
securities," as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. All but 246,821 
of these restricted securities are currently eligible for resale by the 
holders thereof in the public market pursuant to Rule 144. In general, under 
Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose shares are 
aggregated), including an affiliate, who has beneficially owned restricted 
securities for at least one year is entitled to sell, within any three-month 
period, a number of such shares that does not exceed the greater of (i) one 
percent of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock or (ii) the average 
weekly trading volume in the Common Stock during the four calendar weeks 
preceding the date on which notice of such sale is filed, provided certain 


                                      -29-
<PAGE>

requirements concerning availability of public information, manner of sale 
and notice of sale are satisfied. In addition, affiliates of the Company must 
comply with the restrictions and requirements of Rule 144, other than the 
one-year holding period requirement, in order to sell shares of Common Stock 
that are not restricted securities. Also, under Rule 144(k), a person who is 
not an affiliate and has not been an affiliate for at least three months 
prior to the sale and who has beneficially owned restricted securities for at 
least two years may resell such securities without compliance with the 
foregoing requirements. Sales of substantial amounts of the Common Stock in 
the public market following the Private Placement Offering, or the perception 
that such sales might occur, could adversely affect the then prevailing 
market price for the Common Stock and could materially impair the Company's 
future ability to raise capital through an offering of equity securities. No 
predictions can be made as to the effect, if any, that market sales of such 
shares or the availability of such shares for future sale will have on the 
market price of the Common Stock prevailing from time to time.

           NO DIVIDENDS. The Company has not paid any dividends and does not
intend to pay dividends on the Common Stock in the foreseeable future.
Additionally, the Company is restricted from declaring dividends under 
certain agreements to which the Company is subject.

           STATE LAW LIMITATIONS ON DIRECTOR LIABILITY FOR MONETARY DAMAGES. 
The Issuer's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, substantially 
limits the liability of the Issuer's directors to its stockholders for 
breach of fiduciary or other duties to the Issuer. See "MANAGEMENT -- 
LIMITATION ON LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS."

           DELAWARE ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS. Section 203 of the Delaware 
General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") prohibits certain transactions between a 
Delaware corporation and an "interested stockholder," which is defined as a 
person who, together with any affiliate and/or associates of such person, 
beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 15% or more of the outstanding 
voting shares of a Delaware corporation. This provision prohibits certain 
"business combinations" (defined broadly to include mergers, consolidations, 
sales or other dispositions of assets having an aggregate value in excess of 
10% of the consolidated assets of the corporation or the aggregate value of 
all of the outstanding capital stock of the corporation and certain 
transactions that would increase the interested stockholder's proportionate 
share ownership in the corporation) between an interested stockholder and a 
corporation for a period of three years after the date the interested 
stockholder acquired its stock, unless (i) the business combination is 
approved by the corporation's board of directors prior to the date the 
interested stockholder acquired shares, (ii) the interested stockholder 
acquired at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation in the 
transaction in which it became an interested stockholder or (iii) the 
business combination is approved by a majority of the board of directors and 
by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not 
owned by the interested stockholder. The application of Section 203 of the 
DGCL could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of 
the Issuer. See "DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK -- CERTAIN ANTI-TAKEOVER 
EFFECTS OF PROVISIONS OF DELAWARE LAW."

           RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. This Prospectus 
contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A 
of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the


                                      -30-
<PAGE>

Exchange Act and the Company intends that such forward-looking statements be 
subject to the safe harbors for such statements under such sections. The 
statements contained in this Prospectus that are not historical fact 
are "forward-looking statements" (as such term is defined in the statutory 
sections cited above), which can be identified by the use of forward-looking 
terminology such as "believes," "expects," "intends," "may," "will," 
"should," or "anticipates" or the negative thereof or other variations 
thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy that involve 
risks and uncertainties. The Company's forward-looking statements include the 
plans and objectives of management for future operations, including plans and 
objectives relating to its Internet connection services, plans and objectives 
for other businesses that the Company may enter and future economic 
performance of the Company. The forward-looking statements and associated 
risks set forth in this Prospectus include or relate to: (i) ability 
of the Company to attract and retain qualified technical, sales, marketing 
and administrative personnel relating to the services it currently provides 
and intends to provide, (ii) ability of the Company to market its services at 
competitive prices, (iii) development of brand-name recognition and loyalty 
for the Company's services, (iv) development of an effective sales staff, (v) 
market acceptance of the Company's services, (vi) success of the Company's 
market initiatives, (vii) expansion of sales in the industries to which the 
Company provides its current and intended services, (viii) success of the 
Company in forecasting demand for its current and intended services, (ix) 
success of the Company in diversifying the Company's market to provide 
services to large and small businesses, professionals and individuals, (x) 
success of the Company in diversifying the types of services it offers to 
customers, (xi) achievement of forecast operating margins dependent upon 
price and efficient provision of services, (xii) availability of suitable 
licenses or other intellectual property access and protection for the 
Company's services, (xiii) the ability of the Company to implement its 
acquisition strategy and the success of that strategy, if and to the extent 
it is implemented and (xiv) success of the Company in achieving increases in 
net sales to reduce the cost of services sold and decrease general, 
administrative and development costs as a percentage of net sales.

           The forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and judgments
with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market
conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or
impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the Company's
control. Accordingly, although the Company believes that the assumptions
underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any such assumption
could prove to be inaccurate and therefore, there can be no assurance that the
results contemplated in forward-looking statements will be realized. In
addition, as disclosed elsewhere in the "Risk Factors" section of this 
Prospectus, there are a number of other risks presented by the Company's
business and operations that could cause the Company's net revenues or net loss,
or growth in net revenues or net loss to vary markedly from prior results or the
results contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Management decisions,
including budgeting, are subjective in many respects and periodic revisions must
be made to reflect actual conditions and business developments, the impact of
which may cause the Company to alter its marketing, capital investment and other
expenditures, which may adversely affect the Company's results of operations and
cash flows. In light of significant uncertainties inherent in the
forward-looking information included in this Prospectus, the inclusion
of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or
any other person that the Company's objectives or plans will be achieved.

     The Issuer has never paid a cash dividend to Common Stock stockholders, 
and the current policy of the Issuer's board of directors is to retain the 
earnings of the Issuer, if any, for use in the operation 
    
                                      -32-

and development of its business. Additionally, certain agreements to which 
the Issuer is a party restrict the Issuer's ability to declare and pay 
dividends. Therefore, the payment of cash dividends on the Common Stock is 
unlikely in the foreseeable future. Any future determination concerning the 
payment of dividends will depend upon the Issuer's financial condition, the 
Issuer's results of operations, and any other factors deemed relevant by the 
board of directors.

    Interest Reserve Account.
    
(2) Does not include options and warrants to purchase approximately 6,846,638
    shares of RMI Common Stock outstanding at March 31, 1998.
   
(3) In connection with the Bridge Loan Commitment, RMI agreed to pay the lenders
    and the arranger of such facility an aggregate amount of approximately
    $1,050,000 and agreed to issue warrants to the lenders and the arranger to 
    acquire a total of 560,000 shares of RMI Common Stock. Warrants to acquire 
    220,833 shares have an exercise price of approximately $9.01 per share and 
    warrants to acquire the remaining 339,167 shares have an exercise price of 
    $.01. Upon completion of the Private Placement Offering, RMI will record an
    aggregate expense related to these warrants of at least $2,800,000. Prior 
    to recording this expense, an independent valuation of these warrants will 
    be obtained. To the extent it is determined that the value of the warrants 
    differ from these amounts, further adjustments in such expense may be made. 
    Additionally, upon completion of the Private Placement Offering, RMI will 
    record an expense of approximately $1,050,000 in connection with the loan 
    facility's origination fee.

              SELECTED UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA
 
    The following selected unaudited pro forma combined financial information
presented below has been derived from the unaudited and audited historical
financial statements of RMI, ICC, Infohiway and Application Methods included
elsewhere in this Prospectus and reflect management's present estimate
of pro forma adjustments, including a preliminary estimate of purchase price
allocations, which ultimately may be different. The pro forma financial data
gives effect to the ICC Acquisition and the acquisitions of Infohiway and
Application Methods, as well as, the Acquisition Financing.
 
    The acquisitions are being accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at
their estimated fair values, which are subject to further adjustment based upon
appraisals and other analyses, with appropriate recognition given to the effect
of RMI's borrowing rates and income tax rates.
   
    The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year 
ended December 31, 1997 gives effect to the acquisitions as if they had been 
consummated at the beginning of such year. This pro forma statement of 
operations combines the historical consolidated statement of operations for 
the year ended December 31, 1997 for RMI, the historical consolidated 
statement of operations for the eleven months ended December 31, 1997 for 
ICC, the historical combined statement of operations for the year ended 
December 31, 1997 for Application Methods and the historical statement of 
operations for the year ended December 31, 1997 for Infohiway.
    
   
    The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for 
the three months ended March 31, 1998 gives effect to the acquisitions as if 
they had been consummated at January 1, 1997. This pro forma statement of 
operations combines the historical operations for RMI, ICC, Application 
Methods and Infohiway for the three month period ended March 31, 1998.
    
    The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31,
1998 gives effect to the acquisitions as if they had been consummated on that
date. This pro forma balance sheet combines the historical consolidated balance
sheet at that date for RMI and the historical balance sheets at such date for
ICC, Application Methods and Infohiway.
 
    RMI has contractual rights under the ICC Merger Agreement to effect the 
ICC Acquisition and expects to complete the transaction as soon as possible 
after the August 10, 1998 ICC shareholders' meeting. However, there can be no 
assurance that RMI will be able to complete the ICC Acquisition at the time 
or in accordance with the terms and conditions that it currently contemplates.
 
    The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements may not 
be indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if the 
transactions described above had been completed and in effect for the periods 
indicated or the results that may be obtained in the future. The actual 
purchase accounting adjustments may be revised upon completion of the ICC 
Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data 
presented below should be read in conjunction with the audited and unaudited 
historical financial statements and related notes thereto of RMI, ICC, 
Application Methods and Infohiway and "MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS" of RMI and ICC, included 
elsewhere in this Prospectus.

    price plus $2,600,000 of estimated transaction costs for the ICC Acquisition
    and 436,369 shares of RMI Common Stock valued at $4,574,000 which is the
    approximate number of shares issued in connection with the acquisitions of
    Application Methods and Infohiway. The excess purchase prices over the fair 
    value of the net assets acquired has been allocated to goodwill. The pro 
    forma adjustment reflects the incremental goodwill, in excess of existing 
    goodwill, in the amount of $44,084,000. Shares of Common Stock issued for 
    acquisitions were recorded at fair value as determined by RMI's board of 
    directors and based on the then current market price of RMI's

    publicly traded stock. The final allocation of the purchase price will be 
    made after the appropriate appraisals or other analyses are performed. 
    Upon completion of the appraisals and in accordance with the terms thereof, 
    the excess purchase price currently allocated to goodwill will be 
    allocated to the appropriate asset classifications, including customer 
    lists and goodwill. While the goodwill is being amortized over periods 
    ranging from 5-10 years, customer list or other identified intangibles may 
    be amortized over shorter periods, which would therefore increase 
    amortization expense.

    goodwill, using lives ranging from five to ten years, as if such
    acquisitions had been completed as of January 1, 1997.
   
(C) OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

(1) Income tax expense or benefit has not been reflected in the pro forma
    condensed combined financial statements due to consolidated net operating
    losses for the periods ended March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997.

(2) In connection with the Bridge Loan Commitment, RMI agreed to pay the 
    lenders and the arranger of such facility an aggregate approximate amount 
    of $1,050,000 and agreed to issue warrants to the lenders and the 
    arranger to acquire a total of 560,000 shares of RMI Common Stock. 
    Warrants to acquire 220,833 shares have an exercise price of 
    approximately $9.01 per share and warrants to acquire the remaining 
    339,167 shares have an exercise price of $.01. Upon completion of the 
    Private Placement Offering, RMI will record an aggregate expense related 
    to these warrants of at least $2,800,000. Prior to recording this expense, 
    an independent valuation of these warrants will be obtained. To the extent 
    it is determined that the value of the warrants differ from these amounts, 
    further adjustments in such expense may be made. Additionally, upon 
    completion of the Offering, RMI will record an expense of approximately 
    $1,050,000 in connection with the loan facility's origination fee.

(3) In addition to the purchase consideration described in Note B above, RMI 
    has a commitment to pay additional purchase consideration to the former 
    shareholders of Application Methods in the form of shares of Common Stock 
    not to exceed a market value of $2,500,000. This contingent consideration 
    will be computed by determining the number of shares of RMI common stock 
    whose fair value equals 30% of the net income before taxes of Application 
    Methods as a stand alone subsidiary of RMI. Any RMI common stock to be 
    issued as contingent consideration will be valued based on the average 
    closing price for the twenty consecutive trading days preceding the end of 
    the six month performance interval. The performance intervals are each of 
    the 6 month periods (6 periods) in the three year period following the 
    acquisition. In the event the contingent consideration is payable in 
    future periods, it will result in an increase to goodwill which will be 
    amortized over the remaining amortization period of the initial goodwill. 
    It is anticipated the goodwill related to Application Methods will be 
    amortized over a five year period.

                    SELECTED HISTORICAL FINANCIAL DATA--RMI
 
    The following table sets forth selected historical financial and other 
data of RMI. RMI was formed in October 1993 and has generated operating 
losses since inception as well as negative cash flow in 1996 and 1997. The 
selected data set forth below as of December 31, 1994 (not included herein) 
and 1995 and for the periods then ended have been derived from the financial 
statements of RMI which have been audited by McGladrey & Pullen, LLP, 
independent auditors. The selected consolidated statements of operations and 
the balance sheet data set forth below as of December 31, 1996 and 1997, for 
the periods then ended have been derived from the financial statements of RMI 
which have been audited by Baird, Kurtz & Dobson, independent auditors. The 
selected financial data for the three month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 
1997 are derived from unaudited financial statements. The unaudited financial 
statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, 
which RMI considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial 
position and results of operations for these periods. The operating results 
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of 
the results to be expected for any future period.
   
    The selected historical financial data should be read in conjunction with
the Consolidated Financial Statements of RMI and related Notes thereto, and the
information included under "SUMMARY HISTORICAL FINANCIAL DATA--RMI" and

(1) The inception of RMI was in October 1993. No financial statement
    information is presented for the period from inception to December 31, 1993.
 
(2) Loss per share is computed based on 1,868,000 Shares outstanding for 1994
    and 1995, 2,295,000 shares outstanding for 1996 and 5,268,000 shares

    outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998,
    respectively. This represents the weighted average common shares outstanding
    for both basic and diluted earnings per share for each period. See Note 1 to
    RMI's financial statements included elsewhere in this Prospectus.
   
(3) EBITDA is earnings from operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and 
    amortization. EBITDA is included herein because management believes that 
    certain investors find it to be a useful tool for measuring a company's 
    ability to service its debt. However, EBITDA does not represent cash flow 
    from operations, as defined by GAAP. EBITDA should not be considered as a 
    substitute for net income or net loss as an indicator of RMI's operating 
    performance or for cash flow as a measure of liquidity and should be 
    examined in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of RMI 
    and the related Notes thereto included elsewhere in this Prospectus. EBITDA 
    as defined by RMI may be different from EBITDA as defined by other 
    companies.

(4) Ratio of earnings to fixed charges is defined as earnings divided by fixed
    charges. Earnings (loss) represent pre-tax loss from continuing operations
    plus fixed charges. Fixed charges represent interest paid or accrued on
    indebtedness of RMI and amortization of deferred loan charges. In 
    all applicable periods, RMI had a deficiency in earnings to fixed 
    charges.

(1) ICC elected to change its fiscal year from January 31 to December 31 
    effective February 1, 1997.

(2) Loss per share is computed based on 2,183,000, 2,352,000, 2,397,000,
    3,371,000, 5,216,000, 4,756,000 and 5,398,000 shares outstanding for 1994,

    substitute for net income or net loss as an indicator of ICC's operating
    performance or for cash flow as a measure of liquidity and should be 
    examined in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of ICC

                                USE OF PROCEEDS

         The 2,000,000 Acquisition Shares to be offered and issued by the 
Issuer may be issued from time to time in full or part consideration in 
connection with future acquisitions by the Issuer. The 4,061,500 Warrants 
and approximately an additional 2,966,250 Selling Securityholder Shares 
subject of this Prospectus have been previously issued to the Selling 
Securityholders and are being offered for sale by the Selling 
Securityholders, and approximately an additional 5,941,650 Selling 
Securityholder Shares that may be issued upon exercise of Warrants are being 
offered for sale by the Selling Securityholders. Consequently, the Issuer 
will not receive any of the proceeds from the sales of such shares.
   
         The Issuer will not receive the proceeds of sales of any Securities 
offered hereby by the Selling Securityholders. However, if the Selling 
Securityholders who hold Warrants determine to exercise their Warrants, the 
Issuer will receive the proceeds of the exercise of those Warrants. The 
1,365,000 IPO Warrants are redeemable by the Issuer at a cost of $0.25 per 
IPO Warrant. 
    
         The Issuer estimates that it would receive approximately $5,670,000 
upon the exercise of all of the 1,365,000 IPO Warrants, net of commissions 
due and payable to the representative of the underwriters for the Issuer's 
IPO (but not net of the expenses of this offering). The Issuer is required 
to pay to Neidiger, Tucker, Bruner, Inc. ("NTB"), the representative of the 
underwriters of the Issuer's IPO, a commission equal to 5% of the exercise 
price of the IPO Warrants under circumstances. See "PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION." 
The Issuer plans to use any such net proceeds for general corporate purposes 
and working capital. To the extent such proceeds are not utilized 
immediately, they will be invested in instruments that, in the determination

OVERVIEW
   
    RMI is a Delaware corporation incorporated in October 1995. It acquired 
the assets of Rocky Mountain Internet, Inc., a Colorado corporation 
incorporated in 1994 that began doing business in 1993 as an unincorporated 
enterprise. RMI is an ISP providing a broad range of Internet-based services 
to business and residential customers. RMI offers its services through its 
own network in Colorado and through third-party providers nationwide. For the 
year ended December 31, 1997 RMI had gross revenues of $6.1 million. RMI 
entered into the ICC Merger Agreement dated as of June 5, 1998 to acquire all 
of the outstanding stock of ICC. Consummation of the ICC Acquisition is 
subject to the satisfaction of various closing conditions, including approval 
of the merger by ICC's shareholders at a shareholders' meeting scheduled for 
August 10, 1998, and is expected to close shortly thereafter. Consummation of 
the offering is conditioned upon the prior consummation of the ICC 
Acquisition. RMI received the Bridge Loan Commitment to fund the ICC 
Acquisition in the event the Private Placement Offering is not compeleted. 
See "RECENT DEVELOPMENTS -- ICC ACQUISITION," and "-- OTHER ACQUISITIONS," 
"RISK FACTORS" and "BUSINESS." 

    ICC is a multi-faceted telecommunications and data networking company 
specializing in the design, implementation, maintenance and management of 
communications systems and networks. ICC's gross revenues for the eleven 
months ended December 31, 1997 were $33.1 million. ICC is capable of 
providing a broad communications package addressed to its customers' needs 
for enterprise-wide data and voice networks. See "RECENT DEVELOPMENTS -- ICC 
ACQUISITION," and "-- OTHER ACQUISITIONS," "RISK FACTORS" and "BUSINESS."

    On June 5, 1998, RMI acquired Infohiway, a Colorado-based company that 
developed a search engine which the Company believes has unique data 
searching features. For the year ended December 31, 1997, Infohiway had gross 
revenues of $31,000. RMI also acquired, on June 30, 1998, Application 
Methods, a Seattle-based company that has developed a proprietary e-commerce 
software package, e-SELL. For the year ended December 31, 1997, Application 
Methods had gross revenues of $984,000. Additionally, RMI recently entered 
into a non-binding memorandum of understanding regarding the possible 
acquisition of Internet Now, an ISP located in Phoenix, Arizona, for 
approximately $1.5 million. While the Company believes these current and 
proposed acquisitions will accelerate its existing growth plans, there can be 
no assurance that the Company will be able to integrate these companies 
successfully. See "RECENT DEVELOPMENTS--ICC ACQUISITION," and "--OTHER 
ACQUISITIONS," "RISK FACTORS" and "BUSINESS." The financial data of Infohiway 
and Application Methods has not been included in the following analysis and 
discussion but reference is made to the Financial Statements, including the 
Notes thereto, of Infohiway and Application Methods included elsewhere herein.

    With the acquisition of ICC by RMI, the Company is positioned to become a 
leading national communications solutions provider. The Company offers a 
broad array of communications products and services tailored to meet customer 
needs and provides high quality customer support. The Company delivers its 
products and services through three interconnected divisions: Communications 
Services, Web Services and Integration Services. The Company believes that, 
based upon its experience, a growing number of businesses will demand one 
point-of-contact for communications solutions for the following reasons: (i) 
to ensure proper system/ network integration; (ii) to obtain a single point 
of responsibility for products and services that might have numerous 
providers; and (iii) to continue to take advantage of evolving communications 
technologies. The Company intends to increase the breadth of its products and 
services delivered to its customers by adopting new technology, acquiring 
complementary businesses and capitalizing on strategic relationships.

    DIAL-UP SERVICE.  Since November 4, 1997, RMI has offered flat rate pricing
for unlimited access service to the Denver and Boulder, Colorado markets. This
offering has become more economically attractive than in the past due to lower
costs for circuits and a lower cost per port for dial up access. The new
offering includes higher speed modem access using K56 Flex technology.
 
    The table below shows the composite weighted average billing rates for full
service Internet access by quarter for 1995, 1996, 1997 and the first quarter of
1998. The reduction in the average rate for September 1997 is the result of a
change in the average rates resulting from the termination of dial-up service
contracts with third parties in Alamosa and Leadville, Colorado. RMI has
historically offered billing rates ranging from $8.95 to $29.95. The remaining
contracts with other third parties provide a higher percentage of lower rate
services. Effective with the December 1997 billings, most Denver and Boulder,
Colorado area customers who were on payment plans higher than $19.95 per month
were converted to a new $19.95 flat rate service, resulting in a lower average
billing rate. The full effect of the conversions occurred during the last
quarter of 1997 and the first quarter of 1998. In the first quarter of 1998,
dial-up service in Hayden, Colorado also was terminated. RMI expects the
average revenue per dial-up customer to stabilize contingent upon the current
pricing remaining in effect.

    RMI experienced a 5% revenue reduction in dial-up service from the first
quarter of 1997 as compared to the first quarter of 1998, from $595,700 to
$565,300. The decrease is the result of a combination of the reduction in
average customer revenues resulting from the new flat rate pricing offered and a
reduction in revenues from business alliances as explained below.
 
    Dial-up services have been approximately even between commercial and
residential customers throughout 1995, 1996, 1997 and the first quarter of 1998
based on customer count. Based on revenue, the split between commercial and
residential is 35% to 65%, respectively.
   
    Through contracts with three locally-based unrelated parties, RMI has 
provided Internet services in secondary markets in Colorado. The services are 
provided under written contracts that provide for the locally-based party to 
provide equipment and marketing services while RMI provides Internet access 
and administrative services. Dial-up service revenues based on these 
contracts generated $139,500 in revenues for the first quarter of 1997 and 
$64,700 in revenues for the first quarter of 1998, for a decrease of 54%. The 
joint POPs established pursuant to these contracts were established 
commencing in the second quarter of 1995 and grew to six locations by the end 
of 1995 and nine locations by the end of 1996. Effective July 3, 1997, the 
contract with Zero Error Networks ("ZEN") was terminated. Under the 
termination agreement, RMI will operate the Pueblo, Colorado POP as an 
RMI-only location and ZEN will operate the Alamosa, Leadville, and Hayden, 
Colorado locations. The revenues from the Pueblo POP and its growth 
substantially offset the revenue loss from the Alamosa, Leadville and Hayden, 
Colorado POPs. A similar contract in Grand Junction, Colorado was terminated 
by RMI effective April 30, 1997. The marketing efforts by the locally-based 
third party in this location were minimal and sales were less than $1,000 per 
month. RMI is operating this facility as an RMI-only location at this time.
    
    DEDICATED ACCESS SERVICE.  Dedicated access services are primarily provided
to commercial customers and include a wide range of connectivity options
tailored to the requirements of the customer. These services include private
port (dedicated modem), Integrated Services Digital Network ("ISDN")
connections, 56 Kbps frame relay connections, T-1 (1.54 Mbps) frame relay
connections, T-1 and fractional T-1 point-to-point connections, and T-3 (45
Mbps) or fractional T-3 connections. RMI also offers a co-location service in
which the customer's equipment is located in the RMI data center, thereby
providing access to the Internet directly through RMI's connection.
   
    Dedicated access service business has grown based principally on ISDN and 
high-speed circuits (56K, T-1 and T-3) growth. ISDN sales have grown from 
$107,400 to $209,100 from first quarter 1997 to first quarter 1998, for an 
increase of 95%, while sales of high-speed circuits services have increased 
from $204,900 to $564,000 for the same periods for an increase of 175%.

services offered for dedicated access service as of the dates indicated:

    WEB SERVICES.  Web services revenues are primarily comprised of web site 
hosting, web site production and web site marketing. Web site hosting 
provides ongoing revenue from customers for whom RMI hosts a web site on web 
servers in the RMI data center. All access made to these web sites by the 
customer and the Internet community as a whole are processed on the RMI 
servers. The advantage to customers is high-speed access to sites by their 
targeted audiences. The following is a summary of the number of web hosting 
customers as of the dates indicated:

</TABLE>

    Web site hosting accounted for $104,000 of revenue in the first quarter of
1997 and $138,200 in the first quarter of 1998 for an increase of 32%.
 
    Web site production increased from $112,800 for the first quarter of 1997 
to $144,600 for the first quarter of 1998 for an increase of 27%.
 
    RMI added a new service, web site marketing, to customers in late 1997. 
For the first quarter of 1998, revenues of $22,000 were recognized for this 
service. Web site marketing offers the customer a service wherein RMI 
optimizes the position in web search engines for a customer's site based on 
queries using selected key words. This service results in a significant 
increase in the level of traffic for a web site.
 
    EQUIPMENT SALES.  RMI sells hardware to its customers as an accommodation
and to provide a "one stop shop" for Internet services. Equipment sales can vary
from a single router for an ISDN connection to providing servers and Internet
grade routers for co-locations. Sales decreased from $83,200 in the first
quarter of 1997 to $66,000 in the first quarter of 1998, or by 21%. RMI has
established wholesale purchasing relationships with national and regional
vendors in order to provide an attractively priced total Internet solution to
its commercial customers.
 
    OTHER REVENUE.  Other revenue decreased from the first quarter of 1997 as 
compared to the first quarter of 1998. Training revenue decreased from $7,800 
to $4,600, consulting revenue decreased from $109,300 to $4,000 and sales 
revenue from the Information Exchange, L.L.C. ("IE"), a voice messaging 
subsidiary of RMI, decreased from $36,900 to $26,700, respectively, from the 
first quarter of 1997 as compared to the first quarter of 1998. The reduction 
in consulting revenue occurred primarily due to a large consulting contract 
in the first quarter of 1997, which was concluded and no similar consulting 
arrangement occurred in the first quarter of 1998. The reduction in IE 
revenues is due to equipment problems (which have been corrected) that 
resulted in a loss of customers.
 
    GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit consists of total revenues less the cost of 
delivering services and equipment. The gross profit from Internet access and 
services was 67% of revenues from that segment for the three months ended 
March 31, 1997 and 65% for the same period in 1998. The reduction in gross 
profit is principally the result of offering a flat rate dial-up product 
which required a decrease in customers to modem ratios, resulting in higher 
circuit and equipment costs. Gross profits on equipment sales were 
approximately equal at 23% for both comparative periods. Sales of equipment 
are provided as an accommodation to RMI's customers and gross profit margin 
may vary considerably based on the mix of products sold.
 
   
    GENERAL, SELLING, AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  General, selling and 
administrative expenses increased from approximately $1,708,300 in the first 
quarter of 1997 to approximately $2,379,300 in the first quarter of 1998, or 
an increase of 39%. Exclusive of option compensation expense, discussed in 
the following paragraph, general, selling and administrative expenses 
increased 16% from the first quarter of 1997 to the first quarter of 1998.
    

    Payroll costs increased 53% from $957,900 to $1,465,800 for the periods 
ended March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively. Payroll costs included a 
non-cash charge to compensation for the first quarter

<PAGE>

of 1998 in the amount of $390,500 for the exercise of employee stock options.
Exclusive of this amount payroll costs and related benefits increased 12%.
 
    Sales and marketing expenses, consisting of advertising, promotion, 
attendance at trade shows, printing, and finders' fees, increased from 
$47,700 for three months ended March 31, 1997 to $49,300 for the same period 
in 1998, for an increase of 3.4%.
 
    Facilities rent expense increased by 3% from $109,500 to $112,900 for the
first quarter of 1997 to the first quarter of 1998. RMI has headquarters in
downtown Denver, Colorado with additional office facilities in Colorado Springs,
Colorado.
   
    RMI experienced a decrease in communications expense from $74,200 for the 
quarter ended March 31, 1997 to $61,200 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998, 
or a decrease of 18%. These expenses included local telephone service, 
cellular phones and pager costs and long distance telephone expenses. RMI 
uses multiple "800" phone numbers to provide technical support, customer 
support, and sales order processing to its growing base of customers.
    
    Legal and accounting expenses increased from $68,600 in the first quarter of
1997 to $216,800 in the first quarter of 1998 or an increase of 216%. This
increase primarily resulted from legal and accounting work required in
connection with preparation of proxy materials for the annual meeting in 1998, a
registration statement relating to certain registration rights agreements
(relating to public and private financings by RMI) and work performed in
connection with acquisitions.
 
    Outside services, which includes temporary-to-hire staff and professional
services, decreased 11% from $98,500 to $88,100 from the first quarter of 1997
to the same period of 1998. RMI hires many of its technical support call center
staff and the web production staff on a "temp-to-hire" program wherein the new
employee remains on the temporary employment agency's payroll for approximately
ninety days. This allows the staff to be fully evaluated prior to becoming a
full time RMI employee.
 
    During the first quarter of 1998, RMI realized a gain of $75,000 relating 
to the decision by the former President and Chief Executive Officer and 
another former officer to forego the remainder of severance payments in 
exchange for a release from non-compete agreements. The non-compete 
agreements were released effective March 6, 1998.
 
FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,

    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
 
    REVENUES.  Revenues were generated by a variety of Internet-related
activities that included dial-up access services, dedicated access services
primarily for business customers, frame relay services, and web hosting and
production. Other sources of revenue include equipment sales related to
dedicated access accounts, educational courses, and setup charges associated
with RMI's various services.

    In 1997, RMI's revenues grew 87% compared to the year ended December 
31, 1996. The total number of customers grew from 9,800 at year end 1996 to 
13,000 at year end 1997, representing an increase of 33%. Revenues exclusive 
of equipment sales grew by 108%. Revenues grew at a faster rate than customer 
count due to RMI's continuing focus on commercial customers with higher 
monthly billing rates and due to increases in web production and hosting. 
Customer count was also adversely affected by approximately 1,050 resulting 
from the termination of the contract with ZEN. An additional 390 customers 
from the Hayden, Colorado POP were transferred to ZEN effective January 1, 
1998. The following table provides information regarding amounts of revenues 
by category for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997.

    DIAL-UP SERVICE.  RMI's dial-up service strategy is to provide high quality
service with few busy signals. In the past, RMI was not prepared to offer flat
rate pricing for unlimited access service. However, on November 4, 1997, RMI
introduced a flat rate price offering to the Denver and Boulder, Colorado
markets. Subsequently, RMI added flat rate service in Colorado Springs and
Pueblo, Colorado. This offering has become more economically attractive than in
the past due to lower costs for circuits and a lower cost per port for dial-up
access. The new offering includes higher speed modem access using K56 Flex
technology.
 
    The table below shows the composite weighted average billing rate for full
service Internet access by quarter for 1995, 1996, and 1997. The reduction in
the average rate for September 1997 is the result of a change in the average
rates resulting from the termination of dial-up service contracts with third
parties in Alamosa and Leadville, Colorado. RMI has historically offered billing
rates ranging from $8.95 to $29.95. The remaining contracts with other third
parties provide a higher percentage of lower rate services. Effective with the
December 1997 billings, most Denver and Boulder, Colorado area customers who
were on payment plans higher than $19.95 per month were converted to a new
$19.95 flat rate service, resulting in a lower average billing rate.

</TABLE>

    The 61% revenue growth in dial-up service from 1996 to 1997 is 
attributable to customer growth. Dial-up service has been approximately even 
between commercial and residential customers throughout 1995, 1996 and 1997 
based on customer count. Based on revenues, the split between commercial and 
residential is 35% to 65%, respectively. Dial-up service revenues increased 
from $1,465,300 to $2,359,500 or 61% for the year ended December 31, 1996 as 
compared to the year ended December 31, 1997.
 
    Through business alliances with three locally-based unrelated parties RMI
provides Internet services in secondary markets in the State of Colorado. The
services are provided under written contracts that provide for the locally-based
party to provide equipment and marketing services while RMI provides Internet
access and administrative services. Dial-up service revenues based on these
contracts generated


                                       -49-
<PAGE>
   
$354,100 in revenues in 1996 and $480,400 in revenues in 1997 for an increase 
of 36%. RMI expects total revenues from these third party relationships to 
decrease in the future as explained further in this paragraph. The joint POPs 
established pursuant to these contracts were established commencing in the 
second quarter of 1995 and grew to six locations by the end of 1995 and nine 
locations by the end of 1996. Effective July 3, 1997, the contract with ZEN 
was terminated. Under the termination agreement, RMI will operate the Pueblo, 
Colorado POP as an RMI-only location and ZEN will operate the Alamosa, 
Leadville, and Hayden, Colorado locations. These three POPs were transitioned 
to ZEN beginning in July 1997 and concluding in December 1997 as ZEN was able 
to implement facilities. The Pueblo, Colorado POP transitioned 100% to RMI in 
July 1997. Due to the timing of the changes there was minimal impact on total 
RMI revenues. A similar contract in Grand Junction, Colorado was terminated 
by RMI effective April 30, 1997. The marketing efforts by the locally-based 
third party in this location were minimal and sales were less than $1,000 per 
month. RMI is pursuing options to operate this facility and add dedicated as 
well as dial-up customers.
    
    DEDICATED ACCESS SERVICE.  Dedicated access services are primarily provided
to commercial customers and include a wide range of connectivity options
tailored to the requirements of the customer. These services include private
port (dedicated modem), ISDN connections, 56 Kbps frame relay connections, T-1
(1.54 Mbps) frame relay connections, T-1 and fractional T-1 point-to-point
connections and T-3 (45 Mbps) or fractional T-3 connections. RMI also offers a
co-location service in which the customer's equipment is located in the RMI data
center, thereby providing access to the Internet directly through RMI's
connection.
   
    Dedicated business has grown based principally on ISDN and high-
speed circuits (56K, T-1, and T-3) growth. ISDN sales have grown from
approximately $93,000 to $632,000, for an increase of 580% from 1996 to 1997.
Dedicated high-speed circuits and co-location customer billings have increased
from approximately $455,000 to $1,293,200 or 184% from 1996 to 1997. These
increases are the result of a full time sales staff focused on this product line
and the continuing growth in demand for Internet connectivity.
    
    The table below shows the quarterly customer count by each of the component
services offered for dedicated access as of the dates indicated:

    WEB SERVICES.  Web services revenues are primarily comprised of web site
hosting and web site production. Web site hosting provides ongoing revenue from
customers for whom RMI hosts a web site on web servers in the RMI data center.
All access made to these web sites by the customer and the Internet community as
a whole are processed on the RMI servers. The advantage to customers is
high-speed access


                                       -50-

</TABLE>
   
    Web site hosting accounted for revenues of $239,700 in 1996 and $478,500 in
1997 for an increase of 100%. The increase resulted primarily from activity by
the direct sales force, increased server capacities and speed, and the
increasing popularity of the Internet as a business tool.
 
    Web site production revenues increased from $173,800 for 1996 to $563,500 
for 1997 for an increase of 224%. The increase in 1997 resulted primarily 
from an increase in the size of the web site production department and the 
purchase by customers of more complex applications. In addition, RMI's direct 
sales force focused in 1997 on selling web production sites with higher 
average billings.
    
    EQUIPMENT SALES.  RMI sells hardware to its customers as an accommodation
and to provide a "one stop shop" for Internet services. Equipment sales can
vary from a single router for an ISDN connection to providing servers and
Internet grade routers for co-locations. Sales decreased from $519,600 in 1996
to $389,300 in 1997 or a 25% reduction. The equipment sales for 1996 included
some large dollar sales to key customers and sales to third party business
alliances for POP equipment with very low margin. 1997 did not have similar
large-scale sales. Margins on equipment sales increased from 11% in 1996 to 23%
in 1997. RMI has established wholesale purchasing relationships with national
and regional vendors in order to provide an attractively priced total Internet
solution to its commercial customers.
 
    GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit on Internet services (exclusive of equipment) as
a percentage of sales was 77% for 1996 and 69% for 1997. In December 1996, RMI
installed a T-3 network connecting Boulder, Colorado Springs and Denver,
Colorado locations utilizing Cascade switches. This is a large capacity network
providing reliable high-speed connections for a wide range of customer needs,
which in 1997 was underutilized. As the network becomes fully utilized, RMI
anticipates that it will realize significant economies of scale resulting in
increased margins.
 
    GENERAL, SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  General, selling and
administrative expenses increased from approximately $3,682,660 in 1996 to
approximately $6,611,000 in 1997, or 81%. General, selling and administrative
costs consist of personnel (excluding sales and marketing personnel), physical
facilities, depreciation, amortization, professional services and other related
administrative expenses. Significant items are discussed below.
 
    Payroll costs increased 41% from $2,138,000 for 1996 to $3,024,000 for 1997
(not including sales and marketing personnel compensation discussed below). RMI
had 55 employees at the end of 1996 and 67 employees at the end of 1997 in all
areas of RMI including administration, technical support, development, and
senior management (excluding sales and marketing). The 1997 total expense
includes $127,700 of compensation expense in connection with options granted to
Mr. Douglas H. Hanson as discussed elsewhere in this Prospectus.
   
    Sales and marketing expenses, consisting of advertising, promotion, 
attendance at trade shows, printing, and finders' fees, increased from 
$211,500 in 1996 to $286,300 in 1997, or 35%. RMI hired a full time direct 
sales staff beginning in December 1995. Compensation for sales and marketing 
personnel was approximately $565,000 for 1996 and $969,000 in 1997, for an 
increase of 71%, with 16 employees at the end of 1996 and 17 employees at the 
end of 1997. The increase resulted primarily from having a fully staffed 
sales department throughout 1997 while the department was partially staffed 
in 1996.
    
    Facilities rent expense was $172,400 in 1996 and increased 156% to $441,400
in 1997. This increase was principally the result of a move in late 1996 to new
corporate headquarters consisting of leased office space


                                       -51-
<PAGE>

of approximately 19,500 square feet space including a data center comprised of
1,200 square feet. RMI continues to occupy offices in Colorado Springs, Colorado
for staff performing dial-in technical support, customer service, and sales
functions. RMI's former offices in Denver, Colorado at 1800 Glenarm have been
subleased effective March 1, 1997 for the remainder of the lease term. A
one-time charge of approximately $58,000 has been recorded in 1996 for
commission expense on the transaction as well as the difference between the
sublease rate and the existing lease rate.
 
    RMI experienced an increase in communications expense from $196,800 for the
year ended 1996 to $260,500 for the year ended 1997, or 32%. These expenses
included local telephone service, cellular phones and pager costs and long
distance telephone expenses. RMI uses multiple "800" phone numbers to provide
technical support, customer support, and sales order processing to its growing
base of customers.
 
    Legal and accounting expenses increased from $77,400 in 1996 to $218,100 in
1997, or an increase of 182%. This increase resulted from the first full year of
filing SEC quarterly and annual reports, due diligence work performed in
connection with the investments in RMI made by Mr. Hanson in 1997 (discussed
elsewhere herein), negotiations in connection with the termination of employees
and preparation of a proxy statement.
 
    Outside services expense, which includes temporary to hire staff and
professional services, increased 191% from $150,100 to $437,700 from 1996 to
1997. RMI hires many of the technical support call center staff and the web
production staff on a "temp-to-hire" program wherein the new employee remains on
the temporary employment agency's payroll for approximately ninety days. This
allows the staff to be fully evaluated prior to becoming a full-time employee.
   
    During 1997, RMI incurred one time expenses for a write-off of costs
incurred in Grand Junction and Burlington, Colorado for development of
third-party marketing agreements in the amount of $45,100, a write down of
inventory for sale in the amount of $23,000, an expense of $314,600 relating to
termination of employees and $107,200 of legal expenses primarily relating to
the terminations.

    REVENUES.  Revenues were generated by a variety of Internet-related 
activities that included dial-up services, dedicated access services 
primarily for business customers, frame services, and web site hosting and 
production. Other sources of revenue included equipment sales related to 
dedicated access accounts, educational courses, and setup charges associated 
with RMI's various services.
   
    RMI's revenues grew 178% from the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared
to the year ended December 31, 1996. The total number of customers grew from
4,000 to 9,800 during the same periods, representing an increase of 145%.
Revenues exclusive of equipment sales grew by 167%. Revenues grew at a faster
rate than customer count due to a focus on commercial customers with higher
monthly billing rates and from increases in web site production and hosting and
equipment sales. The following table provides

    DIAL-UP SERVICE.  RMI's dial-up service strategy is to provide high 
quality service with few busy signals. In order to assure this service level, 
RMI does not provide any unlimited access service price plans during the 
business day, as these plans have a tendency to congest the network. RMI does 
provide a range of service offerings based on a set number of hours for a set 
rate with additional hours billed as overage. The table below shows the 
composite weighted average billing rate for full service Internet access by 
quarter for 1995 and 1996.

</TABLE>

    The 135% revenue growth in dial-up service in 1996 over 1995 is 
attributable to a growth in customers while average billing rates remained 
stable year over year. Dial-up service has been approximately even between 
commercial and residential customers throughout 1995 and 1996, based on 
customer count.
   
    RMI has established business alliances through contracts with five 
unrelated parties for the purpose of providing Internet services in secondary 
markets in Colorado. These contracts provide for the local party to provide 
equipment and marketing services while RMI provides Internet access and 
administrative services. Dial-up service revenues based on these contracts 
generated $67,500 in revenues in 1995 and $354,100 in 1996 for an increase of 
425%. The joint POPs pursuant to these contracts were established commencing 
in the second quarter of 1995 and grew to six locations by the end of 1995 
and eight locations by the end of 1996.
    
    DEDICATED ACCESS SERVICE.  Dedicated access services are primarily provided
to commercial customers and include a wide range of connectivity options
tailored to the requirements of the customer. These services include private
port (dedicated modem), ISDN connections, 56 Kbps frame relay connections, T-1
(1.54 Mbps) frame relay connections, T-1 or fractional T-1 point-to-point
connections, and T-3 (45 Mbps) or fractional T-3 connections. RMI also offers a
co-location service in which the customer's equipment is located in the RMI data
center, thereby providing access to the Internet directly through RMI's
connection.

    WEB SERVICES.  Web services revenues are primarily composed of web site 
hosting and web site production. Web site hosting provides ongoing revenue 
from customers for whom RMI hosts a web site on web servers in the RMI data 
center. All access made to these web sites by the customer and the Internet 
community as a whole are processed on the RMI servers. The advantage to 
customers is high-speed access to sites by their targeted audiences. The 
following is a summary of the number of web site hosting customers as of the 
dates indicated:

</TABLE>

    Web site hosting accounted for $26,200 of revenue in 1995 and $239,700 of
1996 revenue, for an increase of 815%. The increase resulted from increases in
the direct sales force, increased server capacities and speed, and the
increasing popularity of the web as a business tool.

   
    Web site production increased from $3,800 for 1995 to $173,800 for 1996, 
for an increase of 4,474%. RMI increased the size of the web site production 
department and as provided customers more complex applications. The growth in 
the web site hosting business as well as the efforts of RMI's direct sales 
force helped to drive this part of the business. RMI did not have a direct 
sales force until December 1995.
    

    EQUIPMENT SALES.  RMI sells hardware to its customers as an accommodation
and to provide a "one stop shop" for Internet services. Equipment sales can vary
from a single router for an ISDN connection to providing servers and Internet
grade routers for co-locations. Sales grew from $144,600 in 1995 to $519,600 in
1996, or 259%. The equipment sales for 1996 included some large dollar sales to
key customers and sales to third party business alliances for POP equipment with
low margins. Equipment sales are typically low margin transactions and can
fluctuate dramatically depending on large server orders. RMI has established
wholesale purchasing relationships with national and regional vendors in an
effort to provide an attractively priced total Internet solution to its
commercial customers.
 
    GROSS PROFIT.  Gross profit consists of total revenue less the direct costs
of delivering services and the cost of equipment. Gross profit on Internet
services (exclusive of equipment) as a percentage of sales is 81% for 1995 and
77% for 1996. The reduction in gross profit percentage is principally the result
of increasing capacity for Internet access, ISDN facilities, and dial-up
facilities.
 
   
    GENERAL, SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  General, selling and 
administrative expenses increased from $875,200 in 1995 to $3,682,600 in 
1996, or 321%. General, selling and administrative costs consist of personnel 
(excluding sales and marketing personnel), physical facilities, depreciation, 
amortization, professional services and other related administrative 
expenses. Significant items are discussed below.
    

    Payroll costs increased from $459,600 for the year ended December 31, 
1995 to $2,178,500 for the year ended December 31, 1996, or 374%. RMI had 29 
employees at the end of 1995 and increased staff to 67 at the end of 1996 in 
all areas of RMI including administration, technical support, development and 
senior management (excluding sales and marketing). 


                                       -54-

<PAGE>

   
    Sales and marketing expenses increased from $92,300 in 1995 to 
$776,500 in 1996, or 741% inclusive of personnel costs. RMI hired a full time 
direct sales staff beginning in December 1995. Of the total 1996 sales and 
marketing expense, approximately $565,000 related to personnel expenses. RMI 
had 6 employees at the end of 1995 and 16 employees at the end of 1996 in 
sales and marketing. Extensive efforts were made in 1996 to identify, hire 
and train sales personnel with expertise in Internet access and in web 
applications. Approximately $211,500 for 1996 was spent on advertising, 
developing and printing marketing and sales support materials, and trade show 
attendance.
    
   
    Facilities rent expense for 1995 was $82,300 and increased to $172,400 in 
1996, or 109%. In late 1995, RMI opened offices on one floor in Denver at 
1800 Glenarm. At mid-year, RMI acquired an additional floor at the same 
location. In late 1996, RMI moved its corporate headquarters and leased 
office space of approximately 19,500 square feet (including a data center 
comprised of 1,200 square feet). RMI continues to occupy offices in Colorado 
Springs, Colorado for staff performing dial-in technical support, customer 
service and sales functions. Additionally, RMI leased two POPs which contain 
routers, servers, and modems to provide Internet access for its customers. 
RMI's former offices in Denver, Colorado at 1800 Glenarm were sub-leased 
effective March 1, 1997 for the remainder of the lease term. A one-time 
charge of approximately $58,000 was recorded in 1996 for commission expense 
on the transaction as well as the difference between the sublease rate and 
the existing lease rate.
    
   
    RMI experienced an increase in communications expense from $58,400 for 
the year ended 1995 to $196,800 for the year ended 1996, or 237%. These 
expenses included local telephone service, cellular phones and pager costs 
and long distance telephone expenses. RMI uses multiple "800" phone numbers 
to provide technical support, customer support, and sales order processing to 
its growing base of customers.
    

ICC
 
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 1997
 
    CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR END.  ICC elected to change its fiscal year end to
December 31 from January 31, effective February 1, 1997. References to the first
quarter of 1997 relate to the three month period ended April 30, 1997.
 
    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.  For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, ICC 
experienced a loss from continuing operations of $3,110,000, which included a 
restructuring provision of $1,608,000, compared to a loss from continuing 
operations of $453,000 for the quarter ended April 30, 1997. In addition, ICC 
experienced a loss from discontinued operations of $206,000 and an estimated 
loss on the disposal of the discontinued operations of $237,000 during the 
quarter ended March 31, 1998. The discontinued operations had a loss of 
$190,000 for the quarter ended April 30, 1997.
   
    RESTRUCTURING.  In March 1998, ICC announced a restructuring plan 
designed to enhance its strategic focus on the data communications network 
service market. Management determined that ICC had over-extended resources in 
the Rocky Mountain region and had evolved into an overly complex 
organization. Accordingly, the number of departments was reduced and 50 
employees were separated from ICC, representing 21% of ICC's workforce 
(excluding discontinued operations). The personnel reductions were largely in 
the sales and administration departments. In addition, during the fourth 
quarter of fiscal year 1997, ICC launched an entirely separate wholesale 
engineering services business. The discontinuance of this business was 
integral to the restructuring.
    
    These restructuring actions resulted in ICC recognizing an expense for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 in the amount of $1,608,000. The restructuring
expense is comprised of several items,


                                       -55-

including employee severance, reduction in manufacturers' product lines, closure
of the wholesale engineering services company and consolidation of facilities.

    DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS.  Pursuant to a plan adopted in March 1998, ICC
executed two separate divestiture agreements on April 30, 1998 for its
non-strategic subsidiaries, Sound and Cable. These divestitures have been
accounted for as discontinued operations in accordance with APB 30 for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 1998 and April 30, 1997. The remaining
assets and liabilities of the divested operations at March 31, 1998 primarily
consisted of accounts receivable and accounts payable.
 
    Summarized results of operations of Sound and Cable for the quarters ended
March 31, 1998 and April 30, 1997 are as follows:

Loss from operations...........................  $  20,000  $  77,000  $  170,000  $  129,000
</TABLE>

    In addition, based upon management's revised estimates, ICC also recorded 
charges of $237,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 1998 to provide for 
estimated losses on the discontinuation of Sound and Cable which includes 
anticipated operating results to the date of disposal, as well as, a revised 
estimate of losses expected upon disposition.
 
    ICC sold its 80% ownership of the common stock of Sound to Sound's vice
president and sole minority shareholder. The consideration for this sale was
$209,000. Likewise, on April 30, 1998 ICC transferred the business activities of
its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cable, to a newly formed corporation ("Newco")
owned and operated by the principal managers of Cable. The divestiture agreement
specifies that Newco shall satisfactorily complete the Cable contracts existing
at April 30, 1998, and by July 1, 1998 employ the majority of the remaining
Cable employees. Cable is required to pay Newco compensation for the completion 
and final customer acceptance of Cable contracts.
 
    CONTINUING OPERATIONS.  For the three months ended March 31, 1998, sales
decreased by $455,000 or 5% as compared to the three months ended April 30,
1997. This decrease is due in part to the completion of a significant fiber
infrastructure construction contract in the 1997 period which was outside the
normal scope of ICC's business, representing $512,000 of sales. The increase in
services revenue for the first quarter of 1998 over the three month period ended
April 30, 1997 is a result of ICC's strategy to cross-sell services to its
customers.
   
    Gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was 27.2% of sales 
versus 30.7% for the comparable period in the prior year. The higher margin 
in 1997 is related, in part, to the construction contract discussed above. 
Additionally, during the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the engineering 
services and operations department increased management positions and 
incurred higher training expenses compared with the prior year period.
    
    Selling expenses increased by $190,000 or 12.5%, for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 over the three month period ended April 30, 1997. Selling
expenses as a percentage of revenues were higher in the

                                       -56-
<PAGE>

current period (20.8%) as compared to the prior year period (17.5%). The higher
selling expenses are due to an increase in the sales force as of January 1,
1998, which was subsequently eliminated in the restructuring in March 1998.
 
    For the three months ended March 31, 1998, general and administrative costs
increased by $454,000 or 31.2% over the prior year period. This increase is
primarily due to increased payroll, related benefits and training of $206,000,
increased allowances for bad debt and inventory obsolescence of $93,000, and
expenses related to the settlement of certain disputes of $132,000.
   
ELEVEN MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 ("FISCAL 1997") COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 
  ENDED JANUARY 31, 1997 ("FISCAL 1996")
    
    CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR END.  ICC elected to change its fiscal year end to 
December 31 from January 31, effective February 1, 1997. References to fiscal 
1996 relate to the fiscal year ended January 31, 1997. References to fiscal 
1997 relate to the eleven months ended December 31, 1997.
   
    RESULTS FROM OPERATIONS.  As noted above, ICC changed its fiscal year end 
to December 31, and as a result, the current year activity includes 11 months 
of operating results as compared to 12 months in the previous year. 
Additionally, on September 1, 1996, ICC acquired Interwest Communications 
C.S. Corporation, a Colorado corporation ("Interwest Communications") and its 
subsidiaries and the operating results include only 5 months of Interwest 
Communications activity.

    In March 1998, ICC adopted a formal plan to sell its non-core business 
segments, consisting of Sound and Cable, as a part of ICC's strategic focus 
on providing integrated and high-end network systems. The segments have been 
presented as discontinued operations for fiscal 1997.
    
    During fiscal 1997, ICC experienced a net loss of $4,575,000, including a
$1,225,000 loss from discontinued operations, goodwill impairment of $259,000,
and a loss from the sale of a subsidiary in the amount of $152,000. The loss
from continuing operations before the goodwill impairment and loss from the sale
of a subsidiary was $2,870,000. This compares to an overall net loss in the
prior year of $1,125,000 and a loss from continuing operations of $934,000.
   
    Net sales in fiscal 1997 increased by $6,608,000 or 25%, as compared to 
fiscal 1996. The acquisition of Interwest Communications accounted for 
$8,503,000 of the increase while ICC's net sales (on a stand-alone basis) 
decreased by $1,895,000, or 11%. The primary cause for the decrease in ICC's 
(on a stand-alone basis) sales was the reduction in equipment sales from 
fiscal 1996 to fiscal 1997 (a $1,863,000 decrease). A number of factors 
contributed to this decrease. The prior year results included $989,000 of 
equipment sales from ICC's "Indirect Sales Department," which was eliminated 
in early 1996. Also, ICC (on a stand-alone basis) had been reducing its 
emphasis on equipment sales which do not include any recurring services. 
There was an intentional effort to sell "total network systems" as opposed to 
equipment only, which must usually be sold at lower margins because of 
increasing price competition. Although the conversion to this type of sale by 
ICC (on a stand-alone basis) began in fiscal 1996, this approach was expanded 
during fiscal 1997 and resulted in the decrease in equipment sales.

    Cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales and the resulting gross margin
percentages were not significantly different from the percentages in the prior
year. The consistent gross margin from year to year is mostly attributable to
the consistency of equipment and services revenue mix from fiscal 1996 (50%
equipment sales as percentage of total sales) as compared to fiscal 1997 (51%).

    Selling expenses were considerably higher in fiscal 1997 as compared to 
fiscal 1996. As a percentage of revenue, selling expenses increased from 15% 
to 17%. Both Interwest Communications and ICC (on a stand-alone basis) 
contributed to higher selling expenses due to the increase in sales staff and 
higher fixed costs for increased salaries.

    General and administrative expenses increased in actual dollars 
($2,397,000) and as a percentage of revenue (from 16% in fiscal 1996 to 20% 
in fiscal 1997). ICC realized impairment of goodwill in the amount of 
    

                                       -57-
<PAGE>
   
$259,000 in fiscal 1997. The impairment was determined based on a comparison 
of the realizable value of the goodwill to its book basis. Another 
contributing factor to the increase was a goodwill and intangible 
amortization expense primarily due to the acquisition of Interwest 
Communications, which increased from $98,000 in fiscal 1996 to $406,000 in 
fiscal 1997.

    General and administrative expenses also include a loss on the sale of 
its interest in a subsidiary, Work Telcom Services, Inc. ("WTS"), in the 
amount of $152,000 in fiscal 1997. ICC's basis in the shares of WTS was 
$309,000 and the shares were sold for $157,000. ICC received half of the 
sales price in cash and the other half in a note, secured by the shares sold, 
payable over five years. WTS contributed $28,000 towards ICC's loss in fiscal 
1997 and was considered to be non-core in its future operations.
    
    For most of fiscal 1997, ICC did not realize the benefits of combining 
the two companies which was expected to occur after the acquisition of 
Interwest Communications.
   
FISCAL YEAR ENDED JANUARY 31, 1997 ("FISCAL 1996") COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 
  ENDED JANUARY 31, 1996 ("FISCAL 1995")

    RESULTS FROM OPERATIONS.  Revenues for ICC and Interwest Communications 
increased by 43% to $26,505,000 for fiscal 1996, from $18,528,000 for fiscal 
1995. ICC's revenues (on a stand-alone basis) decreased by $2,393,000, while 
the acquisition of Interwest Communications added revenues of $8,804,000 for 
the five months of September 1, 1996 to January 31, 1997. During fiscal 1996, 
ICC management decided to eliminate its "Indirect Sales Department" which had 
generated $3,033,000 in revenues in the prior fiscal year. Revenues from this 
area in fiscal 1996 were $989,000 with a loss on that activity of $42,000. 
This sales department sold equipment to value-added resellers at declining 
gross margins. Due to increased competition and escalating costs in this area, 
management decided to devote those resources to other areas which it believed 
would generate higher gross margins in the coming years. Important customer 
relationships were transferred to ICC's Tele-Selling Department.

    During fiscal 1996, ICC undertook a number of programs to increase 
revenues from the services segments of its business and to lessen its 
dependency on equipment sales. The table below shows the composition of 
revenue:

(1) Includes revenues from Interwest Communications.
   
    During fiscal 1996, in addition to new revenue sources from Interwest 
Communications, ICC introduced new products in the areas of local area network 
consulting/training, Internet services, and software sales. These new product 
introductions generated $532,000 in revenues for fiscal 1996.
    

                                        -58-
<PAGE>
   
    During fiscal 1996, gross margins increased to 29.1% from 27.1% for 
fiscal 1995. ICC (on a stand-alone basis) recorded gross margins of 27.5%, 
while Interwest Communications (on a stand-alone basis) recorded gross 
margins of 31.8%. The positive growth in gross margin percentage for ICC (on 
a stand-alone basis) was attributable to the closing of the "Indirect Sales 
Department" and the shift to services revenues which yield a higher gross 
margin.
    
    Selling and marketing expenses increased during fiscal 1996 to $3,995,000 
as compared to $2,172,000 for the prior fiscal year. This increase was 
attributable to selling and marketing expenses of $1,184,000 for Interwest 
Communications (on a stand-alone basis) and an increase in ICC (on a 
stand-alone basis) selling and marketing expense of $639,000. This increase 
resulted from increased staffing of sales positions to facilitate new product 
introductions, the addition of a senior sales executive, and the initiation 
of marketing activities for both existing and new products.
 
    General and administrative expenses increased during fiscal 1996 due to 
the addition of Interwest Communications with general and administrative 
expenses of $1,446,000 and a decrease in these expenses for ICC of 
$218,000. The decrease in ICC's general and administrative expenses resulted 
from cost savings programs and a net reduction of headcount in administrative 
areas. On an overall basis, general and administrative expenses represented 
16.0% of revenues as compared to 16.3% for the prior fiscal year.
 
    During fiscal 1996, ICC completed the shut down of its software 
development operations, incurring expenses of $63,000. In the prior fiscal 
year, ICC incurred expenses of $832,000 of software development and 
maintenance expenses. ICC had determined that there was no market for the 
product developed over the prior three fiscal years.
 
    Net interest expense for fiscal 1996 was $315,000 as compared to $43,000 
for the prior fiscal year. The increase in interest expense was due to 
increased use of lines of credit to fund day-to-day operations, loans for 
equipment of Interwest Communications, and short-term loans related to the 
acquisition of Interwest Communications.
   
    For fiscal 1996, ICC had a net loss of $1,125,000 or $.33 per common 
share as compared to a net loss of $977,000 or $.41 per common share for 
fiscal 1995. The net loss for the fiscal 1996 was substantially incurred in 
the fourth quarter as ICC began implementing its plan for combining the 
resources of both ICC and Interwest Communications. ICC attempted to gain 
synergies from the two entities by cross training sales and other personnel, 
eliminating duplicate overhead and combining operations. Initially this 
resulted in increased costs and distraction from sales generation. Thus 
expenses were higher than planned, while revenues were lower. The net loss 
per share declined even though the net loss increased due to the increased 
number of shares outstanding as a result of the acquisition of Interwest 
Communications by ICC.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES OF THE COMPANY
    
RMI

    RMI has incurred losses since its inception in October 1993. RMI's
operations used net cash of approximately $3.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 1997. RMI has operated with a negative cash flow from operations
during 1996 and 1997. The cash used by operating activities is primarily
attributable to RMI's continued expansion of its facilities and employee base in
anticipation of continued growth in revenues.
 
    RMI has relied on a series of private and public financings to provide the
funds necessary to finance its operations. These financings have included (a) a
convertible debenture offering in late 1995 and early

 
                                       -59-
<PAGE>

1996 that generated $490,000 (the debentures were converted into shares of 
Common Stock in October 1996), (b) a preferred stock offering in mid-1996 
that generated $406,000, (c) an initial public offering in September 1996, 
with proceeds of $3,777,000 and (d) a private placement of equity from June 
to September 1997 which raised $1,117,920. During 1997, RMI substantially 
drew down a line of credit for $500,000 for working capital purposes. This 
credit line was secured by a pledge of a $300,000 treasury bill repurchase 
agreement and by RMI's accounts receivable. In October 1997, RMI repaid the 
line of credit and transferred the funds from the treasury bill to cash. The 
line of credit has been discontinued and the secured position of the bank on 
the accounts receivable has ceased. RMI's office lease is also secured by a 
pledge of a money market fund of $250,000. On October 1, 1997, Mr. Hanson 
invested $2,398,600 by purchasing shares of RMI Common Stock and invested an 
additional $503,600 in March 1998 by exercising warrants and options that 
were granted at the time of his initial investment in October 1997. The March 
1998 investment by Mr. Hanson was made in order to permit RMI to maintain its 
qualification for listing on Nasdaq. It is possible that prior to the 
completion of the Private Placement Offering (or drawing on the Bridge Loan 
Commitment if the Private Placement Offering is not completed), RMI will need 
additional cash resources to meet its obligations. Mr. Hanson has agreed to 
loan RMI up to $1.0 million if such need arises. However, this agreement is 
not in writing and the terms have not been negotiated. Consequently, there 
can be no assurance that, if such financing need arises, a loan from Mr. 
Hanson will be available or that, if available, such loan will be on terms 
which are acceptable to RMI or its board of directors or that such loan will 
be sufficient to meet RMI's need for additional short-term cash resources. 
RMI does not currently have access to bank financing and therefore additional 
financing would have to result from additional issuances of equity or debt 
securities such as the Private Placement Offering or from sale of assets.
   
    Net cash used by RMI for investing activities in 1996 was $1,511,500. Net 
cash used for investing activities in 1996 was primarily due to purchases of 
property and equipment, the purchase of investments needed to secure financing 
and payment for acquisitions. Net cash provided by investing activities in 
1997 and the first quarter of 1998 was $921,000 and ($132,000), respectively 
(primarily due to proceeds of $1,356,600 from the release and sale of such 
investments which were no longer needed to secure such financing which was 
offset by purchase of equipment and the acquisition of O.N.E. customers.)
    
    Upon the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, of which this 
Prospectus forms a part, RMI has the right to call certain warrants to 
purchase 1,365,000 shares of Common Stock (the "IPO Warrants") for $0.25 
each, and each warrantholder has, upon such call, a thirty-day period to 
exercise such warrant at an exercise price of $3.14 per underlying share. 
Such IPO Warrants are exercisable for the purchase of 1,900,566 shares of 
Common Stock. If all of the shares underlying these warrants are exercised, 
RMI would realize proceeds of approximately $5,670,000. RMI has not announced 
plans to call these warrants, but may elect to do so following the 
effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
   
     ICC has incurred losses since fiscal 1995 and had negative operating cash 
flow in the eleven months ended December 31, 1997 before the effect of the 
elimination of net cash used in operating activities of discontinued operations.
    
     ICC also has had a series of financings in recent periods in order to 
fund its operations. In April 1997, ICC received net proceeds of $2,973,000 
in a private placement transaction with a related party. In exchange, ICC 
issued 631,579 shares of common stock and 63,158 warrants to purchase common 
stock at $5.70 per share exercisable for a period of 5 years. The price of 
the shares and warrants was based on market value of the shares at the time 
of the transaction. The shares and warrants were issued to Interwest Group 
and represent an additional investment in ICC by Interwest Group. The total 
investments of Interwest Group then represented 52.3% of outstanding shares 
and 52.9% upon the exercise of the warrants. The proceeds of the private 
placement were used for general corporate activities.
 
    During the first quarter of 1998 ICC experienced a deterioration of its 
liquidity position. ICC's liquidity problem was due to a significant increase 
in accounts receivable and an increase in inventory, resulting in ICC 
extending the time in which it paid its vendors. A number of factors 
contributed to the liquidity problems, including ICC's high cost structure, a 
management information system conversion undertaken by ICC in January 1998 
and inventory procurement issues. The high cost structure of ICC was 
addressed in March 1998 when ICC announced a restructuring which included 
divesting of non-core


                                       -60-
<PAGE>

businesses and sales channels and re-sizing its operations to concentrate on
areas which generate recurring revenue and profits. The conversion of the
primary management information system in January 1998 created problems in order
entry, materials management, contracts management, labor utilization, customer
invoicing and receivable collections. The inability to invoice customers on a
timely basis added to ICC's liquidity problem. ICC is addressing these
conversion issues including those related to invoicing and collection. The
increase in inventory was due in part to a lack of effective policies and
procedures for the procurement of materials in one of the purchasing
organizations of ICC. Since the restructuring, the separate purchasing
organizations have been combined into one department and have adopted consistent
policies and procedures for materials procurement so as to avoid this problem in
the future.
 
    The liquidity problem was partially alleviated by the receipt of $1.6 
million cash in March 1998 from the issuance to a related party of a 
convertible promissory note due March 1999. The note bears interest at 10% 
and interest payments are due quarterly. Proceeds were used for working 
capital. The proceeds from the Private Placement Offering will be used in 
part to repay this borrowing.
 
    ICC also has a borrowing agreement with a lending institution which 
provides for a $5.0 million credit facility. At March 31, 1998, December 31, 
1997 and January 31, 1997, ICC had outstanding borrowings under the facility 
of $5.0 million, $4,390,000 and $5,322,000, respectively. Although ICC was in 
default of financial performance covenants as of December 31, 1997, the 
lending institution waived the violations that existed as of that date. ICC 
entered into the multi-year credit facility during the fiscal year ended 
January 31, 1997. Under the agreement, borrowings are collateralized by ICC 
assets and are limited to an agreed-to percentage of accounts receivable and 
inventory. ICC borrowed under this line of credit to fund operations and to 
pay-off approximately $900,000 of debt as required by the Interwest 
Communications acquisition agreement. On April 23, 1997, ICC and its lending 
institution agreed to revise the borrowing agreement which included lowering 
the credit availability from $6.0 million to $5.0 million and setting new 
financial performance covenants that existed as of January 31, 1997. ICC used 
$2,850,000 of the proceeds from an equity investment to pay down this line of 
credit and to lower interest expenses. The facility expires in September 1998 
but all borrowings thereunder are to be prepaid with proceeds of the Private 
Placement Offering.

    ICC incurred capital expenditures for equipment in support of its 
technical operations of $53,000, $995,000 and $603,000 during the quarter 
ended March 31, 1998, the eleven months ended December 31, 1997 and the 
fiscal year ended January 31, 1997, respectively. The acquisition of 
Interwest Communications during the fiscal year ended January 31, 1997 
increased equipment balances by $837,000. There are currently no material 
commitments for capital expenditures and ICC has tightened control over its 
capital purchases. ICC's cash position decreased from $571,000 at January 31, 
1997 to $0 at December 31, 1997. ICC's current ratio decreased from 2.19 as 
of January 31, 1997, to .87 as of December 31, 1997. The most significant 
reason for the decrease in the current ratio was the reclassification of a 
bank note payable from a long-term liability at January 31, 1997 to a current 
liability at December 31, 1997 which was required because the note expires in 
September 1998. ICC's intention is to renew the line of credit with the bank, 
however, there is no assurance that ICC will be successful. The balance of 
goodwill as of December 31, 1997 was $2,198,000. Goodwill represents the 
balance paid for an acquired entity in excess of the net assets of the 
acquired company prior to the acquisition. The goodwill included in the 
balance sheet relates principally to the acquisition of Interwest 
Communications by ICC and is being amortized over a period of 5 to 20 years. 
In March 1998, ICC made significant reductions to its cost structure by 
reducing its employee headcount by more than 20%. In addition, ICC divested 
itself of two of its subsidiaries (Sound and Cable) in April 1998. It is 
expected that ICC will reduce its level of negative net cash flow used in 
funding the losses of these two companies from its consolidated operating 
results.
   
    
    The Company expects to produce negative cash flow through 1999 due to 
aggressive geographic expansion activities associated with the development of 
the Company's Internet network and telecommunications services nationwide. 
There can be no assurance the Company will attain break-even cash flow in 
subsequent periods. Until sufficient cash flow is generated, the Company will 
be required to utilize the proceeds of the Private Placement Offering to meet 
its cash flow requirements and may be required to issue additional debt 
and/or equity securities in the future.


                                       -61-

<PAGE>

    Pursuant to the terms of the ICC Merger Agreement, RMI has agreed to 
purchase ICC. The Company expects to fund the ICC Acquisition with a portion 
of the proceeds from the Private Placement Offering ($42.0 million). In the 
event the Private Placement Offering is not completed, the Company will 
utilize the proceeds from the Bridge Loan Commitment. See "RECENT 
DEVELOPMENTS". 
 
    In addition, the Company expects to use other proceeds of the Private 
Placement Offering to effect additional acquisitions in order to pursue its 
growth strategy. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to 
identify, acquire, or profitably manage additional businesses or successfully 
integrate acquired businesses, if any, into the Company without substantial 
costs, delays, or other operational or financial problems. Further, 
acquisitions may involve a number of special risks, including potentially 
dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of additional debt, 
diversion of management's attention, failure to retain key acquired 
personnel, risks associated with unanticipated events or circumstances or 
legal liabilities and amortization of expenses related to goodwill and other 
intangible assets, some or all of which could have a material adverse effect 
on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and 
cash flow. In addition, there can be no assurance that acquired businesses, 
if any, will achieve anticipated revenues and earnings. The inability of the 
Company to implement and manage its acquisition strategy successfully may 
have an adverse effect on the future prospects of the Company.
   
    The Company intends to make capital expenditures during the next 12 
months for expansion of its network, including the acquisition of POPs and 
the upgrade of the NOC and other computers and financial and management 
information systems. The Company expects to finance such capital expenditures 
primarily through the proceeds of the Private Placement Offering and 
secondarily through capital lease financings.
    
    The Company expects its available cash, including the proceeds from the 
Private Placement Offering, will be sufficient to fund its capital plan, 
acquisition plan and operations through 1999. If the Company's expansion 
occurs more rapidly than currently anticipated or if the Company's available 
cash resources are not sufficient to fund all of the Company's operating 
expenses and capital expenditures, the Company will require additional 
capital before that time. In addition, depending on market conditions, the 
Company may determine to raise additional capital before such time. The 
Company may obtain additional funding through the call of the IPO Warrants, 
sale of public or private debt and/or equity securities, bank financings, 
lease financings, strategic relationships or other arrangements. There can be 
no assurance as to the availability or the terms upon which such financing 
might be available. See "RISK FACTORS -- FUTURE CAPITAL NEEDS; UNCERTAINTY OF 
ADDITIONAL FINANCING."
 
YEAR 2000 ISSUES
   
    Currently, many computer systems, hardware, and software products are 
coded to accept only two digit entries in the date code field and, 
consequently, cannot distinguish 21st century dates from 20th century dates. 
As a result, many companies' software and computer systems may need to be 
upgraded or replaced in order to comply with such "Year 2000" requirements. 
RMI, ICC and third parties with which RMI and ICC do business rely on 
numerous computer programs in their day to day operations. RMI's board of 
directors has appointed a committee which has begun the process of identifying 
computer systems that could be affected by the Year 2000 issue, but RMI and ICC
have not yet estimated the costs of addressing the Year 2000 issue as it 
relates to RMI's and CCI's internal hardware and software, as well as third 
party computer systems with which RMI and ICC interact. ICC has a Year 2000 
readiness plan and has begun the process of identifying computer systems of 
ICC and third party vendors and business partners with which ICC interacts, 
which could be affected by the Year 2000 issue.
    
     In the event that the Company acquires other assets or businesses, the 
software and hardware acquired by the Company in connection with those 
business combinations may also be Year 2000 non-compliant. There can be no 
assurance that the Year 2000 issues will be resolved in 1998 or 1999. The 
Company may incur significant costs in resolving its Year 2000 issues. If not 
resolved, this issue would have a material adverse impact on the Company's 
business, operating results, financial condition, and cash flow.

                                   BUSINESS

OVERVIEW

   
     The Company is a full service communications solutions provider of 
switched and IP-based communications products and services for small- and 
medium-sized business enterprises, as well as dial-up residential customers. 
The Company operates 9 Internet POPs in Colorado, and through agreements with 
third-party providers, the Company can provide Internet access in 90 of the 
100 largest metropolitan statistical areas in the United States. In addition, 
the Company operates a 22,000 mile network with access points in 26 cities 
nationwide for the provision of private line, ATM and frame relay circuits to 
its business customers. The Company monitors and controls its network through 
its NOC located in Denver, Colorado. The Company intends to provide to its 
customers on a nationwide basis comprehensive communications services, 
including dedicated Internet access, dial-up Internet access, IP Telephony, 
point-to-point private line, frame relay and local and long distance 
telephone service. In addition, the Company offers its customers value-added 
web services, including web site hosting, web site production and marketing, 
e-commerce and web training. The Company believes it is essential to offer to 
its customers one point-of-contact for maintaining mission-critical 
communications networks and accomplishes this by also providing network 
integration services, including the design, installation, management and 
maintenance of business communications systems and enterprise data networks. 
The Company had combined pro forma revenues for the year ended December 31, 
1997 of $40,255,000 and provided communications services to over 2,000 
business customers and over 13,000 dial-up customers as of June 30, 1998.
    

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

   
     OVERVIEW. The telecommunications industry is rapidly transforming itself 
from a segmented multi-technology marketplace to an industry that is 
characterized by the convergence of technologies and companies capable of 
providing a full array of communication services. Three of the main factors 
driving this significant transformation of the industry include (i) the 
convergence of voice and data transmission, (ii) the need for broadband 
transmission technologies and infrastructure, and (iii) the convergence of 
technologies and companies providing what were formerly independent products 
and services into one industry. As data and voice transmission converges, 
operators continually need higher bandwidth capacity networks. Today the 
communications services market can be divided into two basic categories: (i) 
traditional, circuit switched and dedicated voice oriented services; and (ii) 
packet switched services compatible with Internet standards. Traditional, 
circuit switched and dedicated voice oriented services in the United States 
can be further divided into long distance services and local exchange services.
    

   
     TRADITIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICE MARKET. The present structure of 
the U.S. telecommunications market resulted largely from the divestiture of 
the "Bell System" in 1984 (the "Divestiture"). As a result of the 
Divestiture, seven RBOCs were created to offer services in geographically 
defined areas called local access transport areas ("LATA's"). The RBOC's were 
separated from the long distance provider, AT&T, resulting in the creation of 
two distinct industries--local phone service and long distance (also known as 
interexchange) phone services. The Divestiture, in and of itself, did not 
result in competition in the local exchange market, but it did provide for 
direct open competition for long distance. Since the Divestiture, several 
factors have served to promote competition in the local exchange market, 
including: (i) customer desire for an alternative to the RBOCs (also referred 
to as the I-LECs); (ii) technological advances in the transmission of data 
and video requiring greater capacity and reliability than I-LEC networks were 
able to accommodate; (iii) a monopoly position and regulated pricing 
structure, which provided little incentive for the I-LECs to reduce prices, 
improve service or upgrade their networks; and (iv) the significant fees, 
called "access charges," long distance carriers were required to pay to the 
I-LECs to access the I-LECs' networks.
    

     The first competitors in the local exchange market, designated as 
"competitive access providers" or "CAPs" by the FCC, were established in 
the mid-1980s. Most of the early CAPs were entrepreneurial enterprises that 
operated limited networks in the central business districts of major cities 
in the United 


                                      -64-
<PAGE>

States where the highest concentration of voice and data traffic is found. 
Since most states prohibited competition for local switched services, early 
CAP services primarily consisted of providing dedicated, unswitched 
connections to long distance carriers and large businesses. These connections 
allowed high-volume users to avoid the relatively high prices charged by I-LECs
for dedicated, unswitched connections or for switched access.

     As CAPs proliferated during the latter part of the 1980s, certain 
regulators issued rulings that favored competition and promised to open local 
markets to new entrants. These rulings allowed CAPs to offer a number of new 
services, including, in certain states, a broad range of local exchange 
services, including switched services. Companies providing a combination of 
CAP and switched local services are sometimes referred to as C-LECs. This 
pro-competitive trend continued with the passage of the Telecommunications 
Act of 1996, which provided a legal framework for introducing competition to 
local telecommunications services throughout the United States. As a result 
the RBOCs, which previously had an oligopoly in the $92 billion (1997 
estimate) local service market, are now facing increased competition from 
C-LECs. Conversely, local carriers are being allowed to compete in the $104 
billion long distance market (1997 estimate) only after they have "opened" 
their local markets to competition.

   
     Over the last three years, several significant transactions have been 
announced representing consolidation of the U.S. telecommunications industry 
driven by both competitive pressures and the convergence of voice and data 
networks. Among the I-LECs, Bell Atlantic Corporation and NYNEX Corporation 
merged in August of 1997 and Pacific Telesis Group and SBC Communications 
Inc. merged in April 1997. Major long distance providers have sought to 
enhance their positions in local markets, through transactions such as AT&T's 
acquisition of Teleport Communications Group and WorldCom's mergers with MFS 
and Brooks Fiber Properties and to otherwise improve their competitive 
positions, through transactions such as WorldCom's planned merger with MCI. 
In addition AT&T, in order to capitalize on the trends of convergence and 
consolidation and gain access to the local markets, has announced plans to 
merge with the cable company, TCI.
    

   
     THE INTERNET SERVICES MARKET.  The Internet is a global collection of 
interconnected computer networks that allows commercial organizations, 
educational institutions, government agencies and individuals to communicate 
electronically, access and share information and conduct business. The 
Internet originated with the ARPAnet, a restricted network that was created 
in 1969 by the United States Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects 
Agency ("DARPA") to provide efficient and reliable long distance and data 
communications among the disparate computer systems used by government-funded 
researchers and academic organizations. The networks that comprise the 
Internet are connected in a variety of ways, including by public switched 
telephone network and by high speed, dedicated leased lines. Communications 
on the Internet are enabled by IP, an inter-networking standard that enables 
communication across the Internet regardless of the hardware and software 
used.
    

     Over time, as businesses have begun to utilize e-mail, file transfer 
and, more recently, intranet and extranet services, commercial usage has 
become a major component of Internet traffic. In 1989, the U.S. government 
effectively ceased directly funding any part of the Internet backbone. In the 
mid-1990s, contemporaneous with the increase in commercial usage of the 
Internet, a new type of provider called an ISP became more prevalent. ISPs 
offer access, e-mail, customized content and other specialized services and 
products aimed at allowing both commercial and residential customers to 
obtain information from, transmit information to and utilize resources 
available on the Internet.

   
     ISPs generally operate networks comprised of dedicated lines leased from 
Internet backbone providers using IP-based switching and routing equipment 
and server-based applications and databases. Customers are connected to the 
ISP's POP by facilities obtained by the customer or the ISP from either 
I-LECs or C-LECs through a dedicated access line or the placement of a 
circuit-switched local telephone to call the ISP. The rapidly growing need 
for Internet access and technology has resulted in a highly fragmented 
industry with the proliferation of over 4,000 ISPs operating within the 
United States. These ISPs are 
    


                                      -65-

primarily made up of a few large national providers focused on high bandwidth 
access and a large number of small providers with limited resources focused on 
serving local markets. Often the solutions offered by these companies fail to 
address certain elements required to ensure that customers' mission-critical 
Internet operations are reliable, scalable and high-performing and that these 
companies fail to provide a broad array of efficient, low-cost communications 
products and services. The Company believes that customer service has emerged 
as an increasingly important element of providing Internet services and that 
often the large, national ISPs do not offer individual customers the level of 
support desired and that many of the small, regional ISPs do not have the 
resources necessary to offer adequate customer support.

   
     According to industry estimates, the number of Internet users in the 
United States who access the World Wide Web reached approximately 29.2 
million in 1997 and is forecasted to grow to approximately 72.1 million by 
the year 2000. In addition, IDC estimates that total ISP revenues in the 
United States are projected to grow from $4.6 billion in 1997 to over $18 
billion in 2000. In the past much of the growth in ISP revenues has been 
driven by the dial-up or retail sector of the Internet. However, businesses 
today represent the largest and fastest growing segment of the Internet 
market. IDC predicts that U.S. corporate Internet access revenues will grow 
from approximately $1.9 billion in 1996 to over $6.6 billion in 2000. In 
addition, IDC predicts that enhanced Internet services, such as web hosting, 
security e-commerce, virtual private networks and advanced Internet 
applications are expected to grow from approximately $352 million in 1997 to 
over $7 billion in 2000. Internet access and enhanced Internet services 
represent two of the fastest growing segments of the telecommunications 
services marketplace.
    

     IP COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY. The most significant trend in the 
Internet and indeed in the broader telecommunications industry, is the 
convergence of voice and data communications to a singular mode of 
transmission. From the turn of the century, when Alexander Graham Bell made 
his historic first telephone call, traditional copper phone wires carried 
only voice information. Typically, circuit-switch based communications 
systems establish a dedicated channel for each communication (such as a 
telephone call for voice and fax), maintain the channel for the duration of 
the call and disconnect the channel at the conclusion of the call. With the 
inception of faxes and computer data in the late seventies and early 
eighties, the resources of such circuit-switch based networks became 
taxed. Various technologies have come to exist to address the need for 
greater bandwidth. Today there is a convergence of both voice, data and video
transmission to one high-speed data packaging network. The most widely used 
solution has been the advent and rapid adoption of TCP/IP data transmission 
standard. Originally constructed as a network of computer networks, the 
Internet revolves around the TCP/IP, which moves data in a series of packets. 
These packets are disassembled at the point of transmission and routed over 
the Internet backbone in the most efficient manner and reassembled at the 
point of receipt. The disadvantage of these packets is that they are 
cumbersome and occupy large amounts of space on telephone wires and as a 
result data is slow to arrive at its destination. Various solutions have been 
created to address this problem, yet to date the most common and effective is 
to access a high bandwidth network for transmission.

     Packet-switch based systems offer several advantages over circuit-switch 
based systems, particularly the ability to commingle packets from several 
communication sources together simultaneously onto a single channel. For most 
communications, particularly those with bursts of information followed by 
periods of "silence," the ability to commingle packets provides for 
superior network utilization and efficiency, resulting in more information 
being transmitted through a given communication channel. There are, however, 
certain disadvantages to packet-switch based systems as currently 
implemented. Rapidly increasing demands for data, in part driven by Internet 
traffic volumes, are straining capacity and contributing to latency (delays) 
and interruptions in communications transmissions. In addition, there are 
concerns about the adequacy of the security and reliability of packet-switch 
based systems as currently implemented.

     Many initiatives are under way to develop technology to address these 
disadvantages of packet-switched based systems. The Company believes that the 
IP standard, which is an "open networking standard" broadly adopted in the 
Internet and elsewhere, should remain a primary focus of these development 
efforts. The Company expects the benefits of these efforts to be improved 
communications 


                                      -66-

throughout, reduced latency and declining networking hardware costs. As IP 
technology improves, the Company believes that such packet-switch based 
networks will become the standard for providing telecommunication services. 
Already, IP Telephony, or transmission of voice calls from a telephone to a 
telephone using the Internet Backbone to haul the data, are being offered to 
consumers.
    

POSITIONING OF THE COMPANY

     With the acquisition of ICC, the Company is positioned to become a leading 
national communications solutions provider. The Company offers a broad array 
of communications products and services tailored to meet customer needs and 
provides high quality customer support. The Company delivers its products and 
services through three interconnected divisions: Communications Services, Web 
Services and Integration Services. The Company believes that, based upon its 
experience, a growing number of businesses will demand one point-of-contact 
for communications solutions for the following reasons: (i) to ensure 
proper system/network integration; (ii) to obtain a single point of 
responsibility for products and services that might have numerous providers; 
and (iii) to continue to take advantage of evolving communications 
technologies. The Company intends to increase the breadth of its products and 
services delivered to its customers by adopting new technology, acquiring 
complementary businesses and capitalizing on strategic relationships.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

     The Company's objective is to become a leading national provider of a broad
array of communications services distinguished by a state-of-the-art network 
and high quality customer service and support. Key elements to the Company's 
business strategy include the following.

     PROVIDE A BROAD ARRAY OF COMMUNICATIONS SOLUTIONS TO ITS CUSTOMERS.
The Company has built a portfolio of products, services and skill sets to 
develop and deliver comprehensive internetworking communications solutions to 
both business and residential customers. These products and services are 
organized under three interconnected divisions including Communication 
Services, Web Services and Integration Services. The Company plans to 
continue to add products and services to its portfolio and believes that a 
growing number of businesses and consumers will demand that one company 
provide all of their communications needs. The Company believes that this one 
point-of-contact service delivery model ensures: (i) high-performance, 
cost-effective network planning, design and implementation; (ii) 
maintenance of a single point of responsibility; and (iii) an ongoing 
customer relationship as a technology partner for communications applications.

   
     PROVIDE SUPERIOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT. The Company 
believes that highly differentiated customer service and technical support is 
a key competitive asset in the communications industry, and the ISP sector in 
particular. Because the Internet is an evolving and complex medium, customers 
require significant technical support. Consequently, the Company has 
developed a comprehensive strategy to attain maximum customer satisfaction. 
This strategy consists of the following elements: (i) maintaining a 
sufficient number of qualified service and technical support personnel 
through proactive recruitment, retention and training programs; (ii) 
utilizing the Company's extranet to provide real-time, interactive customer 
service; (iii) developing an on-line billing system enabling 
customer-controlled account customization and analysis; and (iv) further 
deploying and maintaining the Company's service delivery standards and 
guarantees. The Company believes that due to its high quality customer 
service, it experiences low turnover rates and achieves a significant 
percentage of its subscriber growth from customer referrals.
    
     CAPITALIZE ON BRAND RECOGNITION AND COMPANY REPUTATION. The Company 
believes that as a result of the ICC Acquisition, the Company will possess 
two strong and distinctive brand names in the Mountain States region. ICC has 
a long standing reputation in the business community as a voice and data 
communications provider, and RMI has established itself as a leading-edge 
Internet access provider for 


                                      -67-
<PAGE>

   
residences and small- to medium-sized businesses. To capitalize on these 
assets, the Company will adopt a dual nationwide branding strategy. Products 
and services targeted to the business segment will be branded as "Internet 
Communications Company," and products and services targeted to the consumer 
segment will be branded as "Rocky Mountain Internet." This dual branding 
strategy will enable the Company to implement marketing efforts that have 
distinctive customer focus, as well as themes and messages that speak to the 
different audiences while maintaining the ability to cross sell and build 
national brands.
    

   
     MAXIMIZE NETWORK UTILIZATION. Through its network and agreements 
with third-party providers, the Company provides Internet access in 90 of the 
100 largest metropolitan statistical areas in the United States. The Company 
plans to continue to selectively add POPs where it can add value to its 
customers. The Company believes that the ISP industry has historically been 
divided between ISPs focused on business customers and ISPs focused on 
residential dial-up customers. The Company's business strategy is to maximize 
network utilization 24 hours a day by targeting both daytime business and 
evening-intensive consumer users.
    

     SELECTIVELY TARGET KEY CITIES TO EXPAND NATIONWIDE. The Company plans 
to expand its sales efforts nationally by focusing on targeted areas where 
there is a large concentration of businesses and favorable demographics. The 
Company will initially target markets where it has existing facilities. In 
these locations the Company will actively pursue both business and 
residential customers. In markets where the Company is using third-party 
provider networks, the Company will initially target dial-up customers 
through advertising, promotions, public relations, telemarketing and customer 
referrals. Once the Company attains critical mass in these locations, it will 
establish its own POPs and begin targeting business and residential customers 
with its broad array of communications products and services.

   
     TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SIGNIFICANT CONSOLIDATION OPPORTUNITIES. The 
Company believes that the Internet industry is undergoing structural changes 
with an increasing use of the Internet for mission-critical applications, 
which is creating demand for high quality network operations, customer 
service and technical support. The Company also believes that there is a 
market opportunity to consolidate ISPs, Internet-based service companies and 
Internet technologies. Evidence of this strategy includes the Company's 
recent acquisitions of Infohiway and Application Methods. Infohiway is a 
company that developed a search engine that gives the Company on-line 
advertising opportunities for its customers. Application Methods' e-commerce 
solution, e-SELL, enables the Company to provide business customers with 
browser-based software to conduct business over the Internet. The Company 
believes these acquisitions enhance the Company's position as a full service 
provider of communications solutions. The Company will continue to evaluate 
opportunities to acquire companies that it believes will enhance its product 
and service offerings. In addition, the Company intends to supplement its 
organic national growth efforts by acquiring local ISPs in strategic 
locations to maximize economies of scale.

COMMUNICATION SERVICES

   
INTERNET ACCESS
    

   
    The Company provides Internet services through its 9 Internet POPs in 
the state of Colorado and, through agreements with third party providers, in 
90 of the 100 largest metropolitain statistical areas in the United States. 
    

    CO-LOCATION. As more people use the Internet to shop for products and 
services, the demands on shared server resources are increasing. The Company 
offers businesses the alternative of co-locating their servers in the 
Company's data center, thereby taking cost-effective advantage of the 
Company's centralized Internet resources. For example, a web developer who 
co-locates a server at the Company can save up to 40% to 60% of the monthly 
cost of maintaining that server in-house.

   
     DEDICATED ACCESS SERVICE. Dedicated access services are primarily 
provided to commercial customers and include a wide range of connectivity 
options tailored to the requirements of the customer. These services include 
private port (dedicated modem), ISDN connections, 56 Kbps frame relay 
connections, T-1 (1.54 Mbps) connections, and T-3 (45 Mbps) or fractional T-3 
connections. This type of connectivity is generally used to connect local 
area networks, wide area networks or server applications to the Internet, 
ensuring a dedicated connection. This connection requires a dedicated 
telecommunications facility, ranging from an analog phone line, ISDN, frame 
relay, leased line T-1 or leased line T-3 and a router and a device to 
convert digital signal to serial interface, usually referred to as a CSU/DSU. 
Dedicated services range in price from $199 per month to over $15,000 per 
month depending on the connection type. Installation fees generally range 
from $300 to $5,000.
    

   
     DIAL-UP SERVICE. The Company offers nationwide dial-up service for 
unlimited usage, which is available for $19.95 per month plus a one-time $15 
set-up fee. This offering includes high-speed modem access using K56 Flex 
technology and a high quality connection due to the redundancy that has been 
built into the network.
    


                                      -70-
<PAGE>

Through its arrangement with PSINet, the Company is able to provide 
dial-up access to customers in over 230 locations nationwide.

     WIRELESS SERVICE. The Company has recently signed an agreement with 
American Telecasting, Inc., to offer high-speed megabit Internet access 
technology to 80% of the homes and businesses in the Denver metro area. The 
service includes download speeds of about 750 kbps, a microwave receiver, an 
external modem, a cable modem and an Ethernet card. Costs include an 
installation fee and an approximate $50 per month service charge. The Company 
intends to enter into similar agreements with other providers as the Company 
expands its geographic presence.

     TELEPHONY SERVICES
   
     The Company provides IP Telephony and local (C-LEC) telephone service 
in the state of Colorado and provides traditional long distance service 
nationwide. In addition, the Company provides dedicated line services 
nationwide over its 22,000 mile network with access points in 26 cities.

     IP TELEPHONY. IP Telephony is new technology that enables long distance 
calling using Internet technology. Rather than using traditional switched 
voice technology the caller dials into a server that converts the voice 
signal into IP packets and routes the call to a long distance carrier. This 
technology enables the caller to bypass the LEC, thereby removing the local 
exchange fees at this time. The Company is now able to deliver "toll quality" 
long distance calls that originate in Colorado to anywhere in the contiguous 
United States using IP Telephony. IP Telephony service is priced at $.07 per 
minute to anywhere in the contiguous United States, 24 hours per day.

     TRADITIONAL LONG DISTANCE SERVICE. The Company's recent agreement with 
Frontier Communications of the West, Inc. will permit the Company to offer a 
full line of traditional long distance services. The Company will be offering 
the following services:
    
      - 1+ long distance dialing
      - Dedicated long distance
      - 1-800 service
      - Calling card
      - Conference calling

      LOCAL (C-LEC). The Company resells local exchange telephone services in 
Colorado.
   
     DEDICATED LINE SERVICES. The Company operates extensive dedicated and 
frame relay networks to carry voice and data traffic across the country and 
across town for its business customers. 
    
WEB SERVICES

     WEB SITE HOSTING. Web site hosting provides ongoing revenue from 
customers for whom the Company hosts a web site on web servers located in the 
Company's data center. All access made to these web sites by the customer and 
the Internet community as a whole is processed on the Company's servers. The 
advantage to customers is high-speed access to sites by their targeted 
audiences. Prices for web site hosting generally consist of $100 per month for 
virtual hosting service and $75 per month for static hosting services. There 
is also a one-time set-up fee of approximately $100.

     WEB SITE PRODUCTION. Web site production encompasses the design, 
development and implementation of customer web sites. These sites may be 
public domain sites or private sites (extranets or intranets). The 


                                      -71-
<PAGE>

functionality of these sites will continue to evolve and require a great deal 
[6~of graphic design talent as well as high end programming skills.

     WEB SITE MARKETING

     TRAFFIC BUILDER PLUS. This is a web site marketing program whereby 
customer web sites are marketed exclusively to Internet users. This service 
includes sophisticated search engine submission and management techniques, 
cross-linking related web sites, posting to relevant newsgroups and 
customizing banner ad campaigns. The pricing for this service varies 
dramatically based on a customer's budget and desired results.

   
     INFOHIWAY.  This is a search engine that contains a large and rapidly 
growing database of reference information on the World Wide Web. The search 
engine also contains certain features, including: PREVIEW buttons, 
which permit users to see a site's content without waiting for a full 
download of all the site's graphics; FUZZY LINKS, which provide visitors 
with a handy way to search for related but perhaps not specifically targeted 
information; and SITE MAPPING, which provides a simple and visual way to see 
a site's structure. The site also contains banner advertisements, which the 
Company may sell to its customers as part of a web marketing package.
    

     ELECTRONIC COMMERCE

   
     e-SELL. The Company provides small- to medium-sized businesses with 
turnkey software package solutions for e-commerce that they can use 
themselves. Rather than simply offering a web site, it acts as a true 
Internet store, enabling a dynamic, interactive shopping experience for the 
customer, secure credit card transactions and "behind the scenes" 
functionality, like inventory management and custom reporting. Through 
e-SELL, the Company will be able to offer a low-cost, fast implementation of 
a true, database-driven Internet store. Competing packages require the 
involvement of technical experts, consultants or developers to set up and 
configure a store. Because of these extra "soft costs", implementation 
costs usually reach several times the basic cost of the package and 
implementation time can be weeks or months. By contrast, an e-SELL store can 
be up and running in hours. e-SELL is scalable and extensible as a business 
grows, because it is based on an open architecture--Microsoft Windows NT and 
BackOffice. While competing packages often utilize proprietary programming 
languages or tools (and many started out as Macintosh or Unix products), 
e-SELL is an extension to the industry-standard BackOffice platform, enabling 
easy customization. In addition, any industry-standard database can be 
connected, furthering the ease of integration with merchants' existing 
information systems.
    

   
     WEB TRAINING. The Company's headquarters include a training center 
with multiple workstations. Customers can schedule their employees for 
various levels of Internet training, ranging from basic access training to 
HTML programming. Customized, one-on-one training is also available, either 
at the Company's headquarters or at the customer's site.
    

INTEGRATION SERVICES

   
     The Company plans, designs, implements and maintains enterprise-wide 
business communications systems and networks. The Company maintains 
distribution arrangements with manufacturers, including 3Com Corp., Cisco 
Systems, Inc., NEC America, Northern Telecom, ADC/Kentrox and Adtran Inc. The 
enterprise networks that the Company designs for its customers makes use of 
its network backbone, supplemented where appropriate and cost effective, with 
facilities provided by its carrier partners.
    


                                      -72-

     NETWORK MANAGEMENT SERVICES. To provide value-added services, the 
Company employs a highly trained technical staff and operates an advanced 
NOC. The NOC is capable of monitoring and remotely diagnosing most data 
communication devices as well as the circuits connecting customer locations. 
Network management is a particularly valuable service the Company provides to 
its enterprise network customers. With this service, the Company proactively 
monitors all systems and network facilities comprising a customer's 
enterprise network and problems or interruptions are quickly captured, 
diagnosed and resolved. In addition, performance data is collected and 
analyzed to identify performance trends. Such analysis permits the Company to 
take preventative measures before the network experiences serious problems or 
down time. The Company's network and field engineers have a broad knowledge 
of data and voice communications equipment and networks, built on a 
foundation of experience and training. Their knowledge extends to multiple 
vendors and they are experts at designing and installing integrated networks 
and resolving problems arising in those networks.

   
     INTERALERT. The Company's Fault Management Service provides 
round-the-clock, state-of-the-art network monitoring and problem resolution.

  Ticket Access

   
     INTERCEDE. The object of the Company's InterCede service is to maximize 
network up-time. Problem resolution of network failures is a critical 
function, but equally important is the effort to prevent failures from 
occurring. By combining the collection and reporting of information about 
network performance trends with expert analysis of that information by NOC 
technical experts, potential problems are identified before they generate 
failures. Every averted failure represents an improvement in network up-time.

TECHNICAL AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT

   
     The Company's customer service philosophy is to thoroughly understand 
the customer's needs so that it may deliver a very high level of value-added 
services and after-sales support. The Company believes that highly 
differentiated customer support is a key competitive asset in the 
communications industry, and the ISP sector in particular. Because the 
Internet is an evolving and complex medium, customers require significant 
technical support. Consequently, the Company has developed a comprehensive 
strategy to attain maximum customer satisfaction. As a result, the Company 
experiences low turnover rates and achieves subscriber growth from customer 
referrals. This strategy consists of the following elements: (i) maintaining 
a sufficient number of qualified service and technical support personnel 
through proactive recruitment, retention and training programs; (ii) 
utilizing the Company's extranet to provide real-time, interactive customer 
service; (iii) developing an on-line billing system enabling 
customer-controlled account customization; and (iv) further deploying and 
maintaining the Company's service delivery standards and guarantees. The 
Company continually monitors its customer service strategy through customer 
satisfaction surveys, which are monitored by a third-party consulting firm. 
Over 75 employees, consisting of engineers, technicians, project managers, 
account managers and customer service representatives are directly 
responsible for supporting the Company's customers.
    

   
     COMMERCIAL. An account manager is assigned to each commercial customer, 
serving as the single point-of-contact for any pre- and post-sale related 
issues. Managers are responsible for directing account teams consisting of 
sales executives, technicians, engineers and project managers to insure the 
customer's expectations are met, in addition to providing feedback to the team 
for improving delivery and performance of the Company's products and services.
    

     In addition, the Company employs a state-of-the-art extranet allowing 
customers and customer care specialists to monitor the progress of each job 
as it is measured against pre-established goals for time-to-completion and 
rework. In addition, customers will be able to monitor their account at all 
times, receive real-time updates on the performance of the network and their 
bandwidth, receive updates on new product and service offerings and to voice 
ideas and concerns about the Company. Information received from the use of 
the extranet will be used by internal quality improvement teams to identify 
improvement opportunities and to develop implementation plans to facilitate 
those improvements.

     CONSUMER TECHNICAL SUPPORT. The Company maintains a 24 hour, 7 day 
call center located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The call center is staffed 
by over 20 technicians experienced in Windows and Macintosh operating systems 
as well as customer maintenance techniques.

   
     MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS. The Company is focusing on management 
information systems to achieve a competitive advantage in the marketplace 
through the implementation of enabling technologies to deliver and support IP-
based services.
    

     Currently, the Company's administrative office functions are standardized 
on Microsoft Office products operating on Microsoft NT Server Networks. 
Finance and accounting utilize Great Plains accounting software products for 
general ledger, payables processing and receivables collection and 


                                      -76-
<PAGE>

management. Billing and customer management software products are a 
combination of custom written software and third party products. The billing 
systems are currently under review to determine the optimal billing platform 
to handle new product offerings and support expansion.

     One goal of implementing automated systems is to move customer support 
functions to a web interface which would allow customers to change service 
types, review invoicing details, troubleshoot through on-line information and 
communicate with the Company's technical support staff. These systems are 
expected to provide enhanced customer support and reduce the cost of the 
technical support function on a per customer basis. Enhanced billing systems 
are expected to permit the Company to offer promotions and marketing programs 
to attract new customers. The new billing systems are expected to provide 
greater flexibility in offering discounts for selecting a wide range of the 
product offerings.
   
     Another targeted area is the development of the Knowledge Management 
Systems for supporting the technical staff as well as providing direct access 
to customers. These systems are used to build a database on the problems and 
solutions experienced in the operation of the network and for specific 
customer problems. Knowledge Management Systems will enable the Company to 
share solutions across the entire base of technical staff and customers, 
thereby reducing duplicative efforts. The Company is in the process of 
implementing a project management system called Field Pro. This system is 
designed to track project implementation, job costs and trouble ticketing.
    
SALES AND MARKETING
   
     COMMERCIAL. The Company's ability to deliver an Internet solution, coupled
with an excellent technical knowledge base and an attention to providing 
high quality service will be the Company's key selling point. The Company will 
be capable of designing, implementing and maintaining a complete enterprise 
network solution encompassing integrated voice, data, video and Internet 
services addressing all facets of internal and external communications for a 
business. A number of providers represent themselves as "one-stop shops" or 
"turnkey providers" of these services, but rarely do they have the ability 
to deliver, manage and support all services "in-house." Therefore, the 
Company believes its competitive advantage will be its ability to effectively 
package, price, brand and then implement its wide range of communications 
services. This competitive advantage is expected to cultivate financial 
growth as the Company focuses its sales and marketing efforts on expanding 
nationally, focusing on the small- to medium-sized business market and 
efficiently delivering a comprehensive set of products and services.

     The Company's sales and marketing efforts focus on the direct sales 
approach of its thirty-three field sales representatives as of June 30, 
1998. Although each representative has a specific product or service 
focus, each is assigned to an account team headed up by an account 
manager. The Company believes that this account team approach allows the 
Company to effectively cross-sell, package and blend all of the Company's 
products and services to best meet the needs of the customers. Marketing 
elements that will be used to support the sales team include strategic 
direct mail campaigns, public relations efforts and targeted industry 
advertising. Each marketing activity is designed to generate Company and 
brand recognition, provide product/service information and stimulate referral 
business from a consumer as well as a commercial standpoint.

     CONSUMER. The Company believes that its commercial competitive advantage 
of packaging, pricing, branding and promoting its wide range of 
communications services will also serve as a competitive advantage in the 
consumer marketplace as the Company extends its sales and marketing reach 
across the nation. The Company's sales efforts will focus on its 
"outbound/inbound" telemarketing unit. In addition, the Company plans to 
build an extensive vendor network capable of distributing all of its 
communication services to the public through co-branding programs, affinity 
marketing agreements and cause-related marketing initiatives. The Company 
also plans to employ extensive radio and print advertising campaigns, event 
marketing opportunities, in-market retail 
    


                                      -77-
<PAGE>

   
promotions and a nationwide public relations effort. As of June 30, 1998, the 
Company had 10 sales representatives targeting dial-up customers.
    

CUSTOMERS
   
     DEDICATED COMMUNICATIONS SERVICE CUSTOMERS. The Company's primary 
commercial target market is small- to medium-sized businesses with 25-5,000 
work-stations, multiple office locations, a dependence on communications 
technology and with headquarters located in tier one or tier two cities ranked 
in the top thirty high-tech BPI index. The secondary target markets will be 
small- and medium-sized businesses with 25-5,000 work-stations, multiple 
office locations, a dependence on communications technology and with 
headquarters located in tier two and three cities that are close to the 
Company's headquarters, or in the top thirty high-tech BPI index. The Company 
has sold products and services to over 5,000 business customers, of which over 
2,000 currently receive dedicated communications services. 

     DIAL-UP INTERNET ACCESS CUSTOMERS. The Company's dial-up customer base 
consists mainly of residential consumers and small businesses throughout 
Colorado. Through the use of demographic market research data, the Company is 
targeting its marketing and sales efforts towards new and current Internet 
households and small businesses nationwide. Because the Company has 
experienced a significant amount of dial-up sales through word-of-mouth 
advertising, the Company operates an in-bound calling center and an 
out-bound telemarketing sales unit. As of January 30, 1998, the Company 
served over 13,000 dial-up customers which include consumers and small 
businesses.
    

COMPETITION

   
     The markets in which the Company operates and intends to operate are 
extremely competitive and can be significantly influenced by marketing and 
pricing decisions of the larger industry principals. The Company believes 
that competition will intensify in the future and its ability to successfully 
compete depends on a number of factors including market presence, the 
capacity, reliability and security of its network infrastructure, its 
packaging and pricing of products and services compared to its competitors, 
the timing of new product and service roll-outs, its ability to 
react to changes in the market and industry and economic trends.
    

   
     INTERNET ACCESS. The Company expects competition in these markets to 
intensify in the future. There are no substantial barriers to entry in the 
Internet access markets in which the Company competes. The Company's current 
and prospective competitors in the Internet access market include many large 
companies that have substantially greater market presence and financial, 
technical, operational, marketing and other resources and experience than the 
Company. The Company's Internet access business competes or expects to 
compete directly or indirectly with the following categories of companies: 
(i) other national and regional commercial ISPs, such as Verio Inc. or one 
or more of its affiliates and PSINet; (ii) established on-line services 
companies that currently offer Internet access, such as AOL, CompuServe and 
Prodigy Services Company; (iii) computer hardware and software and other 
technology companies, such as Microsoft; (iv) national long-distance 
telecommunications carriers, such as AT&T (with AT&T WorldNet), MCI (MCI 
Internet), Sprint (SprintNet) and Qwest Communications International, 
Inc.; (v) RBOCs; (vi) cable television system operators, such as 
Comcast Corporation, TCI and Time Warner Inc.; (vii) nonprofit or 
educational ISPs; and (viii) newly-licensed providers of spectrum-based 
wireless data services. Modems offered by cable television companies can 
transmit information at speeds of up to 10 megabits per second, as opposed to 
the Company's K56 Flex (enhanced speed modem) service, which can transmit 
information at speeds of up to only 56 kilobits per second. In addition, TCI 
recently announced it had reached separate agreements with Sun 
Microsystems, Inc. and Microsoft to produce the software necessary to 
permit access to the Internet through television set-top boxes 
beginning in 1999.
    

     TELECOMMUNICATION SERVICES. The Company's intention to provide 
traditional long distance service will place it directly in competition with 
IXCs, which engage in the provision of long-distance access and 


                                      -78-
<PAGE>

   
other long-distance resellers and providers, including large carriers such as 
AT&T, MCI, Sprint and WorldCom and new entrants to the long distance market 
such as the RBOCs who have entered or have announced plans to enter the U.S. 
intrastate and interstate long-distance market pursuant to recent legislation 
authorizing such entry. See "REGULATION." On April 22, 1998, the Public 
Utilities Commission of Colorado granted the request of RMB, a wholly-owned 
subsidiary of RMI, to become a C-LEC. Likewise, the Company's intention to 
provide IP Telephony services and C-LEC services will place it directly in 
competition with other providers (either resellers or facilities-based 
carriers) that provide the same services. Most of the Company's competitors 
are significantly larger and have substantially greater market presence as 
well as substantially greater financial, technical, operational, marketing and
other resources and experience than the Company.
    

   
                               LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

      The Company is not involved in any legal proceedings which the Company 
believes would, if adversely determined, have a material adverse effect upon 
its business, financial condition or results of operations.
    

                                   REGULATION
 
GENERAL REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT
 
    The telecommunications businesses in which the Company operates or intends
to operate, namely, providing traditional long distance service, providing long
distance service by means of IP Telephony and activities as a C-LEC, are
subject to extensive federal and state regulation. In particular, these services
are subject to the provisions of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
including amendments effected by the 1996 Telecommunications Act and the FCC
regulations thereunder, as well as the applicable laws and regulations of the
various states, including regulation by PUCs and other state agencies. Federal
laws and FCC regulations apply to the facilities of and services offered by,
telecommunications common carriers including regulating the prices charged, to
the extent that those facilities are used to provide, originate, or 


                                     -79-
<PAGE>

terminate interstate communications. State regulatory authorities retain 
jurisdiction over telecommunications both originating and terminating within 
the state. The regulation of the telecommunications industry is changing 
rapidly and the regulatory environment varies substantially from state to 
state. Moreover, as deregulation at the federal level occurs, some states are 
reassessing the level and scope of regulation that may be applicable to the 
Company. All of the Company's operations are also subject to a variety of 
environmental, safety, health and other governmental regulations. There can 
be no assurance that future regulatory, judicial, or legislative activities 
will not have a material adverse effect on the Company, or that regulators, 
competitors, or third parties will not raise material issues with regard to 
the Company's compliance or noncompliance with applicable regulations.
 
    The 1996 Telecommunications Act effected plenary changes in regulation at
both the federal and state levels that affect virtually every segment of the
communications industry. The stated purpose of the 1996 Telecommunications Act
is to promote competition in all areas of communications and to reduce
unnecessary regulation to the greatest extent possible. While it will take years
for the industry to feel the full impact of the 1996 Telecommunications Act, it
is already clear the legislation provides the Company with both opportunities
and challenges. The 1996 Telecommunications Act, among other things, allows the
RBOCs to enter the long distance business and enables other entities, including
entities affiliated with power utilities and ventures between LECs and cable
television companies, to provide an expanded range of telecommunications
services. Entry of such companies into the long distance business would result
in substantial competition to the Company's intended telecommunications services
(i.e., traditional long distance, IP Telephony and LEC services) and may have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations and cash flow.
 
    Under the 1996 Telecommunications Act, the RBOCs may immediately provide
long distance service outside those states in which they provide local exchange
service ("out-of-region" service) and long distance service within the regions
in which they provide local exchange service ("in-region" service) upon meeting
certain conditions. The 1996 Telecommunications Act does, however, impose
certain restrictions on, among others, the RBOCs in connection with their
provision of long distance services. Out-of-region services by RBOCs are subject
to receipt of any necessary state and/or federal regulatory approvals that are
otherwise applicable to the provision of intrastate and/or interstate long
distance service. In-region services by RBOCs are subject to specific FCC
approval and satisfaction of other conditions, including a checklist of
pro-competitive requirements. The RBOCs may provide in-region long distance
services only through separate subsidiaries with separate books and records,
financing, management and employees and all affiliate transactions must be
conducted on an arm's length and nondiscriminatory basis. The RBOCs are also
prohibited from jointly marketing local and long distance services, equipment
and certain information services unless competitors are permitted to offer
similar packages of local and long distance services in their market. Further,
the RBOCs must obtain in-region long distance authority before jointly marketing
local and long distance services in a particular state. Additionally, AT&T and
other major carriers serving more than 5% of presubscribed long distance access
lines in the United States are also restricted from packaging other long
distance services and local services provided over RBOC facilities.
 
FEDERAL REGULATION
 
    The FCC has established different levels of regulation for dominant and
non-dominant carriers. Of domestic common carrier service providers, only GTE,
the RBOCs and other I-LECs are classified as dominant carriers and all other
providers of domestic common carrier services, including the Company, are
classified as non-dominant carriers. The 1996 Telecommunications Act provides
the FCC with the authority to forebear from imposing any regulations it deems
unnecessary, including requiring non-dominant carriers to file tariffs. On
November 1, 1996, in its first major exercise of regulatory forbearance
authority granted by the 1996 Telecommunications Act, the FCC issued an order
detariffing domestic interexchange services. The order required mandatory
detariffing and gave carriers nine months to withdraw federal tariffs and move
to contractual relationships with their customers. This order subsequently was
stayed by a federal appeals court.


                                     -80-
<PAGE>

           Although the FCC does not directly regulate local exchange 
service, which is within the jurisdiction of state regulatory authorities, 
its actions may impact directly on such service. The 1996 Telecommunications 
Act greatly expands the FCC's interconnection requirements on the I-LEC. The 
1996 Telecommunications Act requires the I-LEC to: (i) provide physical 
co-location, which would allow RMB and other interconnectors to install and 
maintain their own network termination equipment in I-LEC central offices, 
i.e., offices of US West and virtual co-location only if requested or if 
physical co-location is demonstrated to be technically unfeasible, (ii) 
unbundle components of their local service networks so other providers of 
local service can compete for a wider range of local services customers, 
(iii) establish "wholesale" rates for their services to promote resale by 
C-LECs and other competitors, (iv) establish number portability, which will 
allow a customer to retain its existing phone number if it switches from the 
I-LEC to a competitive local service provider, (v) establish dialing parity, 
which ensures customers will not detect a quality difference in dialing 
telephone numbers or accessing operators or emergency services and (vi) 
provide nondiscriminatory access to telephone poles, ducts, conduits and 
rights-of-way. In addition, the 1996 Telecommunications Act requires I-LECs to
compensate competitive carriers for traffic originated by the I-LEC and 
terminated on the competitive carrier's networks. The FCC is charged with 
establishing national guidelines to implement the 1996 Telecommunications 
Act. The FCC issued its Interconnection Order on August 8, 1996, which 
established detailed rules regarding rates, terms and conditions for 
interconnection between C-LECs and I-LECs. The Interconnection Order was
appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. On July 18, 
1997, the Court issued a final decision vacating the interconnection pricing 
rules and "most favored nation" rules as well as certain other 
interconnection rules. The FCC's and other parties' petitions to the Supreme 
Court requesting review of these decisions have been granted. It is not 
possible at this time to determine how the Supreme Court will respond to 
these appeals.

           On April 18, 1997, the FCC ordered that the RBOCs and independent 
LECs offering domestic interstate inter-LATA services, in-region or 
out-of-region, be regulated as non-dominant carriers. However, such services 
offered in-region must be offered in compliance with the structural 
separation requirements mentioned above. AT&T was classified as a dominant 
carrier, but AT&T successfully petitioned the FCC for non-dominant status in 
the domestic interstate interexchange market in October 1995 and in the 
international market in May 1996. Therefore, certain pricing restrictions 
that once applied to AT&T have been eliminated. A number of parties have, 
however, sought the FCC's reconsideration of AT&T's status. The Company is 
unable to predict the outcome of these proceedings on its operations.

           On May 8, 1997, the FCC released an order intended to reform its 
system of interstate access charges to make that regime compatible with the 
pro-competitive deregulatory framework of the 1996 Telecommunications Act. 
Access service is the use of local exchange facilities for the origination 
and termination of interexchange communications. The FCC's historic access 
charge rules were formulated largely in anticipation of the 1984 divestiture 
of AT&T and the emergence of long distance competition and were designated to 
replace piecemeal arrangements for compensating LECs for use of their 
networks for access, to ensure that all long distance companies would be able 
to originate and terminate long distance traffic at just, reasonable and 
non-discriminatory rates and to ensure that access charge revenues would be 
sufficient to provide certain levels of subsidy to local exchange service. 
While there has been pressure on the FCC historically to revisit its access 
pricing rules, the 1996 Telecommunications Act has made access reform timely. 
The FCC's recent access reform order adopts various changes to its rules and 
policies governing interstate access service pricing designed to move access 
charges, over time, to more economically efficient levels and rate 
structures. Among other things, the FCC modified rate structures for certain 
non-traffic sensitive access rate elements, moving some costs from a 
per-minute-of-use basis to flat-rate recovery, including one new flat rate 
element; changed its structure for interstate transport services; and 
affirmed that ISPs may not be assessed interstate access charges. In response 
to claims that existing access charge levels are excessive, the FCC stated 
that it would rely on market forces first to drive prices for interstate 
access to levels that would be achieved through competition but that a 
"prescriptive" approach, specifying the nature and timing of changes to 
existing access rate levels, might be adopted in the absence of competition. 
The FCC intends to address these and other related matters in subsequent 
proceedings. 


                                     -81-

<PAGE>

Though the Company believes that access reform through lowering and/or 
eliminating excessive access service charges will have a positive effect on 
its service offerings and operations, it cannot predict how or when such 
benefits may present themselves, or the outcome of any possible judicial 
appeal or petition for FCC reconsideration.

           The FCC also released a companion order on universal service 
reform on May 8, 1997. The universal availability of basic telecommunications 
service at affordable prices has been a fundamental element of U.S. 
telecommunications policy since enactment of the Communications Act of 1934. 
The current system of universal service is based on the indirect 
subsidization of LEC pricing, funded as part of a system of direct charges on 
some LEC customers, including IXCs and above-cost charges for certain LEC 
services such as local business rates and access charges. In accordance with 
the 1996 Telecommunications Act, the FCC adopted plans to implement the 
recommendations of a Federal-State Joint Board to preserve universal service, 
including a definition of services to be supported and defining carriers 
eligible for contributing to and receiving from universal service subsidies. 
The FCC ruled, among other things, that: contributions to universal service 
funding be based on all IXCs' gross revenues from both interstate and 
international telecommunications services; only common carriers providing a 
full complement of defined local services be eligible for support; and up to 
$2.25 billion in new annual subsidies for discounted telecommunications 
services used by schools, libraries and rural health care providers be funded 
by an assessment on total interstate and intrastate revenues of all IXCs. The 
FCC stated that it intends to study the mechanism for continued support of 
universal service in high cost areas in a subsequent proceeding. The Company 
is unable to predict the outcome of these proceedings or of any judicial 
appeal or petition for FCC reconsideration on its operations.

           On April 10, 1998, the FCC submitted a report to Congress in which 
it stated that telephone-to-telephone IP Telephony bears the characteristics 
of "telecommunications services" and that the providers of those services may 
be "telecommunications carriers," as those terms are defined in the 1996 
Telecommunications Act. The FCC deferred a more definitive resolution of this 
issue until a more "fully-developed" record is available. However, the April 
10, 1998 report states that, to the extent the FCC concludes that certain 
forms of telephone-to-telephone IP Telephony service are "telecommunications 
services," and to the extent the providers of those services obtain the same 
circuit-switched access as obtained by other IXCs and therefore impose the 
same burdens on the local exchange as do other IXCs, the FCC "may find it 
reasonable that they" become subject to the same regulations, including the 
requirement to pay access fees to LECs and to contribute to universal service 
subsidies.

STATE REGULATION

           Companies conducting intrastate long distance telecommunications 
operations are subject to various state laws and regulations including, in 
many jurisdictions, certification and tariff filing requirements. Generally, 
these providers must obtain and maintain certificates of authority from 
regulatory bodies in most states in which it offers intrastate services. In 
April 1998, RMB obtained a certificate of authority from the Colorado PUC to 
provide local exchange services as a C-LEC. Certificates of authority can 
generally be conditioned, modified, canceled, terminated, or revoked by state 
regulatory authorities for failure to comply with state law and/or the rules, 
regulations and policies of the state regulatory authorities. Fines and other 
penalties also may be imposed for such violations.

           Those states that permit the offering of intrastate/intra-LATA 
service by IXCs generally require that end users desiring to use such 
services dial special access codes. This may put the Company at a competitive 
disadvantage compared with LECs whose customers can make 
intrastate/intra-LATA calls simply by dialing 1 plus the desired number. If a 
long distance carrier's customer attempts to make an intra-LATA call by 
simply dialing 1 plus the desired number, the call will be routed to and 
completed by the LEC. Regulatory agencies in a number of states have issued 
decisions that would permit IXCs to provide intra-LATA calling on a 1 + 
basis. Further, the 1996 Telecommunications Act requires in most cases that 
the RBOCs provide 


                                     -82-

<PAGE>

such dialing parity coincident to their providing in-region inter-LATA 
services. The Company expects to benefit from the ability to offer 1 + 
intra-LATA services in states that allow this type of dialing parity.

formed an Audit Committee composed of three directors, a majority of whom 
were outside directors. The members of the initial Audit Committee were 
Douglas H. Hanson, D. D. Hock and Reynaldo U. Ortiz until the resignation of 
Mr. Ortiz as a director effective December 1, 1997. Mr. Robert W. Grabowski, 
an outside director, now serves on the Audit Committee with Messrs. Hanson

functions of the Audit Committee are to review the Issuer's internal 
controls, accounting policies and financial reporting practices; to review 
the financial statements, the arrangements for and scope of the independent 
audit, as well as the results of the audit engagement; and to review the

recommend to the board of directors for its approval and for ratification by 
the stockholders the engagement of the independent auditors to serve the 
following year in examining the accounts of the Issuer.

<PAGE>
   
    From January 1 through December 31, 1997 the board of directors held no 
regular meetings and 13 special meetings. During such fiscal year, each 
director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the meetings of the board 
of directors. In addition, the board of directors acted by unanimous written 
consents pursuant to Delaware law and the Issuer's By-laws. The Audit 
Committee was formed in November 1997 and has not met. The Compensation 
Committee was formed in March 1998 and met on March 12, 1998 and June 2, 1998.
    
   
    16b COMMITTEE.  In March 1998, the Issuer's board of directors formed 
the 16b Committee comprised of two outside directors. The members of the 16b 
Committee are D. D. Hock and Mary Beth Vitale. The 16b Committee is 
responsible for the review of management's recommendations regarding various 
compensation issues, including the issuance of stock options to officers and 
directors who are subject to the Section 16 reporting requirements under the 
Exchange Act.
    
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
 
    The Issuer pays cash compensation to each of its non-employee 
directors of $12,000 per year for his or her services as a director. The 
compensation is to be paid at the end of each year and will be prorated on a 
monthly basis for each month (or majority of each month, if the director 
serves only a partial month) during which the director served as such. There 
are no additional amounts payable to any director for committee participation 
or special assignments.
 
    Directors are also eligible to participate in the Issuer's 1996 
Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "1996 Directors' Plan"). Under 
the 1996 Directors' Plan, each director who is not an employee of the 
Issuer receives a grant, upon his or her appointment or election to the 
board of directors, of an option to purchase 1,500 shares of Common Stock. 
Thereafter, on each of the first, second and third anniversary dates of the 
date of election or appointment, the director is granted an additional option 
to purchase an additional 1,500 shares of Common Stock, up to a maximum of 
6,000 shares. The exercise price of the options granted under the 1996 
Directors' Plan is the fair market value (as defined in the 1996 Directors' 
Plan) on the date that the option is granted. All such options are 
exercisable beginning six months after the date of grant. To date, options 
under the 1996 Directors' Plan have been issued to the following persons in 
the following amounts:
 
                 D.D. Hock           1,500
                 Robert Grabowski    1,500
                 Lewis Silverberg    1,500
                 Mary Beth Vitale    1,500
                                     -----
                       Total         6,000

    At the RMI Annual Meeting, the stockholders of the Issuer approved 
the adoption of the Rocky Mountain Internet, Inc. 1998 Non-Employee 
Directors' Stock Option Plan (the "1998 Directors' Plan"), to be effective 
January 22, 1998. A total of 68,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved 
for issuance over the three-year term of the 1998 Directors' Plan.
 
    The option exercise price of any option granted under the 1998 Directors' 
Plan may not be less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the 
date of grant of the option. Upon the effective date of the 1998 Directors' 
Plan, each non-employee director of the Issuer was granted options to 
purchase 8,500 shares of Common Stock, subject to certain adjustments. If an 
eligible director has continued to serve as a director of the Issuer from 
the effective date until December 31, 1998, options to purchase 1,500 shares 
of Common Stock will vest; if he or she continues to serve as a director for 
the entire calendar year ending December 31, 1999, options to purchase 3,500 
shares of Common Stock will vest; and if he or she continues to serve as a 
director for the entire calendar year ending December 31, 2000, options to 
purchase 3,500 shares of Common Stock will vest. Notwithstanding the 
foregoing, in the event of a change in control of the Issuer (as defined 
in the 1998 Directors' Plan), each outstanding option under the 1998 
Directors' Plan vests 


                                     -87-
<PAGE>

immediately. In addition, in the event of a change in control of the 
Issuer, the Administrative Committee (or the board of directors in the 
absence of such a committee) may: (i) grant a cash bonus award to any 
optionee in an amount equal to the exercise price of all or any portion of 
the options then held by the optionee; (ii) pay cash to any or all optionees 
in exchange for the cancellation of their outstanding options in an amount 
equal to the difference between the exercise price and the greater of the 
tender offer price for the Common Stock underlying such options (in the event 
of a tender offer for the securities of the Issuer) or the fair market 
value of the stock on the date of cancellation; and (iii) make any other 
adjustments or amendments to the outstanding options. On January 22, 1998, 
the effective date of the 1998 Directors' Plan, the closing price of the 
Common Stock was $2.625 and on July 8, 1998 the closing price was $16.875 per 
share, according to data obtained from the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.

    Each option granted under the 1998 Directors' Plan shall expire not more 
than five years from the date of grant. The 1998 Directors' Plan terminates 
on December 31, 2000, unless earlier terminated in the discretion of the 
Administrative Committee (or the board of directors in the absence of such a 
committee).
 
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
 
    Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires directors, executive officers 
and persons who own more than ten percent of the outstanding Common Stock to 
file with the Commission an Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership of 
Securities (Form 3) and Statements of Changes of Beneficial Ownership of 
Securities (Form 4). Directors, executive officers and greater than ten 
percent stockholders are required by Commission regulation to furnish the 
Issuer with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
   
    To the Issuer's knowledge, based on a review of the copies of such 
reports furnished to the Issuer or representations that no other reports 
were required, the Issuer believes that, during the fiscal year ended 
December 31, 1997, all filing requirements applicable to its directors, 
executive officers and greater-than-10% beneficial owners were complied with, 
except that the Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities (Form 
3) were filed late for Messrs. Reynaldo U. Ortiz, Richard K. Dingess, Michael 
R. Mara and David L. Evans (the then-Chief Financial Officer and Executive 
Vice President of the Issuer) and Statements of Changes of Beneficial 
Ownership of Securities (Form 4) were filed late for Messrs. Roy J. Dimoff, 
Kevin R. Loud, Christopher K. Phillips and D. Kirk Roberts. Since December 
31, 1997, the Initial Statements of Beneficial Ownership of Securities were 
filed late for Messrs. Peter Kushar and Michael Schaefer and the Statement of 
Changes of Beneficial Ownership of Securities was filed late for Mr. Hanson.
    
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
   
    Following is information concerning compensation paid to all persons who 
served as the Issuer's Chief Executive Officer during the 1997 fiscal 
year and all others who were serving as executive officers during the 1997 
fiscal year and whose annual compensation (salary and bonus) was greater than 
$100,000 (the "Named Executive Officers"). The Issuer's fiscal year ends 
December 31.

- ----------------------------------------
 
(1) Mr. Hanson was elected President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of
    the board of directors of the Issuer as of October 1, 1997. For a
    description of securities underlying his options see "CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
    --CHANGE IN CONTROL," above and the table set forth below.
 
(2) Mr. Dimoff joined the Issuer in July 1995. Mr. Dimoff resigned as the
    President and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer as of October 1, 
    1997.
 
(3) In connection with the resignation by Mr. Dimoff effective October 1, 1997,
    the Issuer and Mr. Dimoff entered into a Waiver and Release 
    pursuant to which, among other matters, (i) the Issuer agreed to 
    pay Mr. Dimoff $102,000 (less all federal and state withholdings on 
    wages) in respect of the severance of his prior employment relationship 
    with the Issuer and to reimburse Mr. Dimoff for his attorney's fees 
    (up to a maximum of $2,000) for the negotiation of the Waiver and 
    Release. One quarter of the severance amount ($25,500) was payable and 
    was paid, upon execution of the Waiver and Release and the remainder is 
    payable in nine equal monthly installments on the first day of each 
    month commencing on January 1, 1998; (ii) Mr. Dimoff agreed not to make 
    use of or to divulge to any other person any confidential information 
    (as defined in the Waiver and Release) relating to the Issuer; and 
    (iii) Mr. Dimoff agreed to not compete with the Issuer, directly or 
    indirectly, in certain geographic areas specified in the Waiver and 
    Release until October 1, 1998, except that, at any time after December 
    2, 1997, Mr. Dimoff may elect to terminate the agreement to not compete 
    by giving 30 days' prior written notice to the Issuer of this 
    election. In the event that Mr. Dimoff terminates his covenant not to 
    compete, the Issuer will have no further obligation to make any 
    remaining severance payments to Mr. Dimoff. On March 6, 1998, Mr. 
    Dimoff gave notice to the Issuer that he elected to terminate the 
    covenant not to compete. As a result, the Issuer has avoided the 
    requirement to pay the remaining $58,000 to Mr. Dimoff under the Waiver 
    and Release.
 
(4) This bonus was earned in 1996 and paid in 1997. The bonus was based on
    achieving 81% of the Issuer's revenue plan. Mr. Dimoff elected to 
    receive $3,000 of the bonus in the form of a stock option to acquire 
    3,000 shares of Common Stock exercisable in September 1997. Mr. Loud 
    elected to receive $8,100 of the bonus in the form of a stock option to 
    acquire 8,100 shares of Common Stock exercisable in September 1997. All 
    employees who received 1996 bonuses had the same choice of receiving 
    their bonus in cash or stock options. The options were granted pursuant 
    to the Issuer's 1997 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "Bonus 
    Plan"). The Bonus Plan authorizes the Issuer to issue options to 
    purchase an aggregate of 50,000 shares of Common Stock, subject to 
    adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends and similar 
    extraordinary events. The options were exercisable immediately upon the 
    grant thereof (September 26, 1997) and can be exercised for a period of 
    five years thereafter in lots of 100 shares or multiples thereof. The 
    exercise price is $1.00 per share of Common Stock purchased. The 
    options may not be transferred by the optionholder otherwise than by 
    will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution. The options 
    may be exercised during the optionholder's lifetime only by the 
    optionholder or, in the event of his disability or incapacity, by his 
    guardian or legal representative. The options become void immediately 
    in the event that the optionholder's employment with the Issuer is 
    terminated for cause but may be exercised for a period of three months 
    following termination other than for cause. 

                                     -89-

    The Issuer currently has an employment agreement with Mr. Loud. The 
employment agreement provides for a salary of $84,000 per year and is 
terminable for cause. The Issuer may also terminate the agreement without 
cause subject to the obligation to pay Mr. Loud a severance equal to five to 
eight months' salary based on length of service.  The agreement terminates in 
December 1999. The employment agreement does not restrict Mr. Loud's ability 
to compete with the Issuer following any termination.
    
    The Issuer currently has an employment agreement with Mr. Roberts. The 
employment agreement provides for a salary of $66,000 per year and is 
terminable for cause. The Issuer may also terminate the agreement without 
cause subject to the obligation to pay Mr. Roberts a severance equal to five 
to eight months' salary based on length of service. The agreement terminates 
in December 1999. The employment agreement does not restrict Mr. Roberts' 
ability to compete with the Issuer following any termination.

   
    In connection with RMI's acquisition of Infohiway, Infohiway, a 
wholly-owned subsidiary of RMI, entered into employment agreements with Mr. 
Black and Kenneth Covell. Mr. Black's and Mr. Covell's agreements provide for 
two-year terms at annual salaries of $80,000 and $70,000, respectively, and 
include restrictive covenants binding on the employees with respect to 
confidentiality, non-solicitation and non-competition matters. Additionally, 
Messrs. Black and Covell are eligible for additional compensation of up to 
$40,000 and $30,000, respectively, during each year of the term of their

401(K) PLAN
 
    In January 1998, the Issuer implemented an employee savings and 
retirement plan (the "401(k) Plan") covering certain of its employees. 
Pursuant to the 401(k) Plan, eligible employees may elect to reduce their 
current compensation by up to the lesser of 15% of such compensation or the 
statutorily prescribed annual limit ($10,000 in 1998) and have the amount of 
such reduction contributed to the 401(k) Plan. The Issuer will make 
contributions to the 401(k) Plan on behalf of eligible employees in an amount 
equal to one-half of the employee's contribution, up to a maximum of 3% of 
the employee's salary. The Issuer's contribution to the 401(k) Plan is in 
the form of the Issuer's Common Stock. The 401(k) Plan is intended to 
qualify under Section 401 of the Code, so that contributions by employees or 
by the Issuer to the 401(k) Plan and income earned on the 401(k) Plan 
contributions, are not taxable to employees until withdrawn from the 401(k) 
Plan and so that contributions by the Registrant, if any, will be deductible 
by the Issuer when made.

CHANGES IN CONTROL
 
    There are no arrangements or agreements known to the Company that may 
result in a change in control of the Company. See "CERTAIN 
TRANSACTIONS--CHANGE IN CONTROL."
 
LIMITATION ON LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION MATTERS
   
    The Issuer's By-laws provide, in general, that the Issuer shall, to the 
fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as now or hereafter in effect, 
indemnify any person who was or is threatened to be made a party to any 
threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether 
criminal, civil, administrative, or investigative (a "Proceeding"), by reason 
of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Issuer, or, by 
reason of the fact that such officer or director is or was serving at the 
request of the Issuer as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another 
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, association, or other 
enterprise, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including 
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and 
amounts paid in settlement reasonably incurred by him in connection with such 
Proceeding, including any Proceeding by or on behalf of the Issuer and will 
advance all reasonable expenses incurred by or on behalf of any such person 
in connection with any Proceeding, whether prior to or after final 
disposition of such Proceeding. The By-laws also provide that the Issuer may 
also indemnify and advance expenses to employees or agents who are not 
officers or directors of the Issuer.
    
   
    Article 8 of the Issuer's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, 
provide that "No director of the corporation shall be personally liable to 
the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of 
fiduciary duty as a director, except as to liability (i) for any breach of 
the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) 
for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional 
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for violations of Section 174 
of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") or (iv) for any 
transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit. If 
the DGCL hereafter is amended to eliminate or limit further the liability of 
a director, then, in addition to the elimination and limitation of liability 
provided by the preceding sentence, the liability of each director shall be 
eliminated or limited to the fullest extent provided or permitted by the 
amended DGCL. Any repeal or modification of this Article 8 shall not 
adversely affect any right or protection of a director under this Article 8 
as in effect immediately prior to such repeal or modification with respect to 
any liability that would have accrued, but for this Article 8, prior to such 
repeal or modification."
    
    The Issuer entered into an underwriting agreement with NTB, for 
itself and on behalf of all of the underwriters of the IPO, that provides for 
indemnification by the underwriters under certain circumstances of directors, 
officers and controlling persons of the Issuer against certain 
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. The Issuer 
has entered into similar agreements with certain security holders of the 
Issuer, including Mr. Hanson.
 
    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities 
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the 
Issuer pursuant to the provisions contained in the Certificate of 
Incorporation and By-laws of the Issuer, the DGCL, an underwriting 
agreement, other agreements that provide for such indemnification, or 
otherwise, the Issuer has been informed that in the opinion of the 
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
 
    The Issuer maintains a directors' and officers' liability insurance 
policy that provides, within stated limits, reimbursement either to a 
director or officer whose actions in his capacity as such result in 
liability, or to the Issuer in the event it has indemnified the director 
or officer.

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

CHANGE IN CONTROL
 
    As of October 1, 1997, Mr. Douglas H. Hanson obtained effective control 
of RMI by entering into a series of agreements, described below, pursuant to 
which, among other things: (1) RMI issued and sold to Mr. Hanson 1,225,000 
shares of Common Stock for a purchase price of $2,450,000, or $2.00 per 
share; (2) Mr. Hanson purchased 275,000 shares of Common Stock from four of 
RMI's stockholders, namely, Messrs. Roy J. Dimoff, Christopher K. Phillips, 
Jim D. Welch and Kevin R. Loud, for an aggregate purchase price of $550,000, 
or $2.00 per share; (3) contemporaneously with the transactions described in 
(1) and (2), RMI agreed to issue to Mr. Hanson the Hanson Warrants, which 
authorized the holder thereof to purchase 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock 
for an exercise price of $1.90 per share, subject to adjustment as described 
below; (4) RMI granted Mr. Hanson incentive stock options (to purchase 
222,220 shares of Common Stock for an exercise price of $2.25 per share and 
non-qualified stock options to purchase 377,780 shares of Common Stock for an 
exercise price of $1.00 per share pursuant to the 1997 Plan, which Hanson 
Options vest one year from the date of grant (subject to acceleration of the 
vesting date by the board of directors or a committee thereof that 
administers the 1997 Plan) and on March 12, 1998 a committee of the board of 
directors amended the 1997 Plan, retroactively to October 1, 1997, in 
accordance with the requirements of the Code, to provide that the number of 
incentive stock options was 191,385, the exercise price of those options was 
$2.6125 and the number of non-qualified stock options was 408,615, on which 
date Mr. Hanson exercised all of the non-qualified stock options and 
purchased 408,615 shares of Common Stock pursuant to such exercise; (5) Mr. 
Hanson obtained proxies from ten stockholders of RMI to vote their shares of 
Common Stock held by such stockholders; and (6) Mr. Hanson was elected as a 
director and was elected the President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman 
of the board of directors of RMI. As a result of the purchase by Mr. Hanson 
of the shares of Common Stock described herein and the proxies described 
herein obtained by Mr. Hanson, the election of all nominees to the board of 
directors and the approval by RMI's stockholders of the proposals at the RMI 
Annual Meeting was assured. See "PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS."

    The ten stockholders from whom Mr. Hanson obtained proxies are Messrs. Roy
J. Dimoff, Christopher K. Phillips, Jim D. Welch, Kevin R. Loud, Brian Dimoff,
Paul B. Davis, Michael R. Mara, Monty Reagan, Tim Scanlon and Owen Scanlon. Mr.
Phillips was, at the time of such transactions, a director of RMI, Mr. Loud is
the Vice President--Operations of RMI and Mr. Roy J. Dimoff was the President,
Chief Executive Officer and a director of RMI. Mr. Mara is the Vice
President--Sales and Marketing of RMI and Mr. Brian Dimoff was the Vice
President -Customer Support Operations of RMI.
 
    The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. adopted changes to the requirements applicable
to corporations qualifying its common stock for trading on Nasdaq. Among
other changes, the required minimum net tangible assets of such corporations was
increased to $2.0 million. These changes were effective February 23, 1998. At
December 31, 1997, RMI did not meet these increased requirements. On March 12,
1998, a committee of RMI's board of directors accelerated the vesting period of
the Hanson Options to permit the immediate exercise thereof and Mr. Hanson
exercised all of the 408,615 non-qualified options that were exercisable for a
price of $1.00 per share. On March 23, 1998, Mr. Hanson exercised a portion of
the Hanson Warrants and acquired 50,000 shares of Common Stock. The result and
purpose of the exercise of these options and warrants was to increase RMI's net
tangible assets to satisfy the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.'s new requirements.
 
    It is possible that prior to the completion of the Private Placement 
Offering, or drawing on the Bridge Loan Commitment, RMI will need additional 
cash resources to meet its obligations. Mr. Hanson has agreed to loan RMI up 
to $1.0 million if such need arises. This agreement is not in writing and the 
terms have not been negotiated. Consequently, there can be no assurance that, 
if such financing need arises, a loan from Mr. Hanson will be available or 
that, if available, such loan will be on terms which are acceptable to RMI.


                                     -92-
<PAGE>

    Other than as described above, there is no agreement, arrangement, or 
understanding between Mr. Hanson and the Company that requires Mr. Hanson to 
exercise any Hanson Options or Hanson Warrants or to otherwise make any 
capital contributions to the Company.

summaries do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entireties 
by the full text of the respective agreements, copies of which are on file 
with the Commission.
    
    STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN DOUGLAS H. HANSON AND RMI. Pursuant to a
Stock Purchase Agreement between Mr. Hanson and RMI, dated as of October 1,
1997, RMI issued and sold to Mr. Hanson 1,225,000 shares of Common Stock for a
purchase price of $2,450,000, or $2.00 per share. In connection with the
execution of this Stock Purchase Agreement, Roy J. Dimoff resigned as the
President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of RMI and Gerald Van Eeckhout
resigned as the Chairman of the board of directors but remained as a director of
RMI until November 19, 1997. Contemporaneously, the then-existing board of
directors of RMI, in accordance with RMI's By-laws, filled three vacancies on
the board by electing Mr. Hanson, Mr. Reynaldo Ortiz and Mr. D. D. Hock to be
directors of RMI. Mr. Hanson was elected as RMI's President, Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman of the board of directors. Messrs. Ortiz and Hock were
selected by Mr. Hanson, in accordance with the terms of this Stock Purchase
Agreement, to be elected as directors of RMI. Mr. Ortiz resigned as a director
effective December 1, 1997. On January 10, 1998, Ms. Mary Beth Vitale and
Messrs. Robert W. Grabowski and Lewis H. Silverberg were appointed as directors
of RMI.
 
    STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN DOUGLAS H. HANSON AND ROY J. DIMOFF. 
Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement between Mr. Hanson and Roy J. Dimoff, 
dated as of October 1, 1997, Mr. Dimoff sold to Mr. Hanson 150,000 shares of 
Common Stock for a purchase price of $300,000, or $2.00 per share. 
Contemporaneously with this purchase and sale, Mr. Dimoff resigned as a 
director and as President and Chief Executive Officer of RMI. In addition, as 
discussed below, Mr. Hanson entered into a Shareholders' Voting Agreement and 
Irrevocable Proxy with Mr. Dimoff and six other stockholders pursuant to 
which Mr. Hanson obtained the right to vote certain shares of Common Stock 
beneficially owned by Mr. Dimoff and such other stockholders.
 
    STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT AMONG DOUGLAS H. HANSON, CHRISTOPHER K. PHILLIPS,
JIM D. WELCH AND KEVIN R. LOUD. Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement among
Douglas H. Hanson, Christopher K. Phillips, Jim D. Welch and Kevin R. Loud,
dated as of October 1, 1997, Mr. Hanson purchased 50,000 shares, 50,000 shares
and 25,000 shares of Common Stock from Messrs. Phillips, Welch and Loud,
respectively, for an aggregate purchase price of $250,000, in each case for
$2.00 per share. In addition, as discussed below, Mr. Hanson entered into a
Shareholders' Voting Agreement and Irrevocable Proxy with Messrs. Phillips,
Welch and Loud pursuant to which Mr. Hanson obtained the right to vote certain
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them.
 
    The source of all of the consideration for the purchase by Mr. Hanson of 
the shares of Common Stock and the Hanson Warrants purchased from the Company 
and the shares of Common Stock purchased from Messrs. Dimoff, Phillips, Welch 
and Loud was a loan made in the ordinary course of business by a 


                                     -93-
<PAGE>

bank. The loan bears interest at the rate of 192 basis points (i.e., 1.92%) 
above the London InterBank Offered Rate and has a term of two years. One-half 
of the outstanding principal and accrued interest thereon, was paid in 
January 1998 in accordance with its terms and the remainder of the 
outstanding principal amount and accrued interest thereon, is payable in 
January 1999. The loan is secured by a pledge of all of the shares of Common 
Stock that Mr. Hanson purchased from RMI and from Messrs. Dimoff, Phillips, 
Welch and Loud and of income anticipated to be received by Mr. Hanson.
 
    REGISTRATION AGREEMENT. Contemporaneously with the execution of the 
agreements described above, RMI entered into an agreement with Mr. Hanson to 
register all of the shares of Common Stock (and other securities) purchased 
in the above-described transactions, i.e., those shares purchased from RMI 
and those purchased from Messrs. Dimoff, Phillips, Welch and Loud, the Hanson 
Warrants and the shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the 
exercise of the Hanson Warrants. RMI also agreed, not later than thirty days 
after the closing of the transactions described above, to use its 
commercially reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement with 
the Commission for the registration of the shares of Common Stock purchased 
by Mr. Hanson (including those shares purchased from RMI and from the 
individuals identified above), the Hanson Warrants and the shares of Common 
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Hanson Warrants and to maintain the 
effectiveness of such registration statement for a period of one year. The 
Company believes that, during the period of effectiveness of such 
registration statement, Mr. Hanson may sell all or any of the shares of 
Common Stock or the Hanson Warrants without restriction.
   
    WARRANT AGREEMENT. RMI entered into a Warrant Agreement with Mr. Hanson, 
dated as of October 1, 1997, pursuant to which it agreed, subject to 
obtaining the approval of RMI's stockholders of an increase in the authorized 
capital of RMI, to issue to Mr. Hanson the Hanson Warrants, which entitle the 
holder thereof to purchase up to 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock for an 
exercise price of $1.90 per share, for a period of eighteen months from the 
date of issuance of such warrants. As of the date of the Warrant Agreement, 
RMI did not have a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock authorized 
or reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Hanson Warrants. At the RMI 
Annual Meeting, the stockholders of RMI approved an amendment to RMI's 
Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of Common Stock 
that RMI is authorized to issue from 10,000,000 to 25,000,000. As a result of 
the approval of such amendment by RMI's stockholders at the RMI Annual 
Meeting, RMI issued the Hanson Warrants to Mr. Hanson effective as of March 
23, 1998.
    
    The Hanson Warrants are subject to standard anti-dilution provisions and 
adjustments in the number of shares of Common Stock that can be issued (and 
the exercise price for which they can be issued) in the event of the payment 
by RMI of cash or non-cash dividends, reorganizations and other extraordinary 
events. See "DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK."
 
    SHAREHOLDERS' VOTING AGREEMENTS AND IRREVOCABLE PROXIES. Contemporaneously 
with the agreements described above, Mr. Hanson entered into a Shareholders' 
Voting Agreement and Irrevocable Proxy with Messrs. Phillips, Welch and Loud 
pursuant to which Messrs. Phillips, Welch and Loud granted to Mr. Hanson their 
proxies to vote certain shares of Common Stock owned by them as of the date of 
the agreement and acquired subsequent thereto (including shares of Common 
Stock of which Messrs. Phillips, Welch and Loud have the right to acquire 
beneficial ownership through the exercise of warrants, options and other 
rights). The proxies terminate on the earlier of (i) three years from the date 
of execution; or (ii) the date upon which any shares of Common Stock owned by 
the grantor of a proxy are sold, transferred, assigned, or otherwise disposed 
of (except by a pledge thereof) by such stockholder to a person other than: 
(A) a member of such stockholder's "immediate family," as such term is defined 
in Rule 16a-1(e) promulgated pursuant to the Exchange Act, 17 C.F.R. Section 
240.16a-1(e), or (B) a trust for the benefit of any member of such 
stockholder's immediate family; provided, however, that the termination 
applies only to such shares of Common Stock as are sold, transferred, 
assigned, or otherwise disposed of to persons other than members of the 
stockholder's "immediate family."

                                     -94-
<PAGE>

    Mr. Hanson also entered into a Shareholders' Voting Agreement and
Irrevocable Proxy with Mr. Brian Dimoff, Mr. Paul B. Davis, Mr. Michael R. Mara,
Mr. Monty Reagan, Mr. Roy J. Dimoff, Mr. Tim Scanlon and Mr. Owen Scanlon. The
terms of such agreement were similar to those of the agreement with Messrs.
Phillips, Welch and Loud, except that the proxies granted pursuant to the
agreement with these seven stockholders expired by their terms immediately after
the RMI Annual Meeting.
 
    PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTIONS. Mr. Hanson's purpose in entering into the 
agreements described above and acquiring the shares of Common Stock and the 
Hanson Warrants was to acquire a significant equity position in RMI and to 
control the management, policies and activities of RMI. In connection with 
such purchases, three of Mr. Hanson's nominees, including Mr. Hanson, were 
elected to the five-member board of directors of RMI as contemplated by the 
Stock Purchase Agreement between Mr. Hanson and RMI. One of Mr. Hanson's 
nominees, Mr. Reynaldo U. Ortiz, resigned from the board of directors in 
December 1997. See "--STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN DOUGLAS H. HANSON AND 
RMI."
 
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
    In February 1997, the Issuer entered into a negotiated agreement with 
Jim D. Welch, an officer and a stockholder of the Issuer, wherein the Issuer 
agreed to purchase 90,000 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock from him for 
$119,000. The stock will be purchased over an eighteen month period. As part 
of the agreement, Mr. Welch separated from employment with the Issuer. Mr. 
Welch discontinued selling shares of the Issuer's Common Stock after March 1, 
1998, at which time the Issuer had purchased 72,660 shares.
 
    Robert W. Grabowski, an Issuer director, has an economic interest in 
and is Vice President, Finance and Administration, of Sunny Side, Inc./Temp 
Side ("Sunny Side"), a private employment service business. The Issuer 
has engaged Sunny Side to provide various services and has created a web site 
for Sunny Side. These arrangements were on commercially reasonable terms.
 
TRANSACTIONS WITH PROMOTERS
   
    NTB was the principal underwriter of the Issuer's IPO of the IPO Units, 
each IPO Unit consisting of one share of Common Stock and one IPO Warrant to 
purchase a share of Common Stock at a price of $4.375 (the "IPO Warrant 
Exercise Price"), subject to adjustment, after October 5, 1997 and prior to 
September 5, 1999. RMI sold to NTB at the closing of the IPO, for $100, 
warrants (the "NTB Warrants") to purchase 136,500 units (the "NTB Units"), 
each of which consists of one share of Common Stock and one warrant (the 
"Underlying NTB Warrants") to purchase a share of Common Stock. The NTB Units 
have an exercise price of $4.20 per unit (120% of the unit offering price to the
public in the IPO) and the Underlying NTB Warrants included in the NTB Units 
have an exercise price of $6.5625 per share (150% of the IPO Warrant Exercise 
Price) (which price has been decreased by certain anti-dilution adjustments) 
and are exercisable until September 5, 2001. The NTB Warrants may be 
exercised in a cashless transaction whereby the NTB Warrants, at the holder's 
option, may be used, in whole or in part, as a portion of the purchase price 
for the underlying Common Stock and NTB Warrants. In addition, the Underlying 
NTB Warrants included in the NTB Units may be exercised in a cashless 
transaction. See "DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK."
    
    NTB was the Issuer's placement agent in connection with the private 
offering in 1997 of units of the Issuer's securities, each unit 
consisting of two shares of the Issuer's Common Stock and a warrant to 
purchase one share of Common Stock, for $4.00 per unit. In connection with 
that offering, the Issuer agreed to issue to NTB warrants (the "Private 
Offering Unit Warrants") to purchase 31,050 units of securities, each unit 
consisting of two shares of Common Stock and a warrant (collectively, the 
"Private Offering NTB Warrants") to purchase one share of Common Stock. The 
Private Offering Unit Warrants have an exercise price of $4.00 each and may 
be exercised any time prior to June 13, 2002. The Private Offering NTB 
Warrants have an exercise price of $3.00 each and may be exercised at any 
time prior to June 13, 2002.

 (1) As set forth above under the caption "Certain Transactions--Change in 
     Control," Mr. Hanson entered into a Shareholders' Voting Agreement and 
     Irrevocable Proxy with Christopher K. Phillips, Jim D. Welch and Kevin R. 
     Loud, dated as of October 1, 1997 and a separate Shareholders' Voting 
     Agreement and Irrevocable Proxy with Brian Dimoff, Paul B. Davis, Michael 
     R. Mara, Monty Reagan, Roy J. Dimoff, Tim Scanlon and Owen Scanlon, dated 
     as of October 1, 1997. The proxies granted to Mr. Hanson by Messrs. Brian 
     Dimoff, Paul B. Davis, Michael R. Mara, Monty Reagan, Roy J. Dimoff, Tim 
     Scanlon and Owen Scanlon expired immediately following the adjournment of 
     the RMI Annual Meeting. Accordingly, Mr. Hanson and Messrs. Christopher 
     K. Phillips, Jim D. Welch and Kevin R. Loud may be deemed to be members 
     of a "group" for reporting beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock 
     in the table. Unless otherwise noted, each person has sole voting and 
     dispositive power over the shares listed opposite his name. For the 
     purposes of the table, shares of other members of the group have not been 
     attributed to each member.
 
 (2) Shares of Common Stock that can be acquired by any person pursuant to any
     option, warrant, or other right within the next 60 days following the dates
     set forth in the paragraph appearing immediately prior to the table are
     deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of
     outstanding shares beneficially owned by such person. A person is also
     deemed to be the beneficial owner of any shares as to which he has the
     power to vote, or to direct the voting of, such shares. Such shares,
     however, are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the
     percentage of outstanding shares beneficially owned by any other person.
     All options and warrants described below have vested, except as described
     in footnote 3. As of July 8, 1998, there were 7,805,636 shares of Common
     Stock outstanding.

     owned by Messrs. Phillips Welch and Loud as to which Mr. Hanson obtained
     the rights to vote pursuant to the remaining Shareholders' Voting Agreement
     and Irrevocable Proxy described above in footnote (1) and under the caption
     "CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS--CHANGE IN CONTROL."

     proxy to vote all shares currently owned by him or that may be acquired by
     him pursuant to and in accordance with the terms, provisions and
     limitations set forth in, a Shareholders' Voting Agreement and Irrevocable
     Proxy described above in footnote (1) and under the caption "CERTAIN

         Mr. Douglas H. Hanson is the President, Chief Executive Officer, and 
Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company. NTB, and Chatfield Dean & 
Co., Inc. acted as underwriters in connection with the Company's IPO in 1996, 
and a private placement in 1997, and Eugene L. Neidiger, Anthony B. Petrelli, 
Charles C. Bruner, Robert L. Parrish, J. Henry Morgan, John L. Turk, Jr., 
Regina L. Neidiger, Carl A. Militello, Jr., Kenneth L. Greenberg, Sanford D. 
Greenberg, Russell Greenberg, and Paul Davis are affiliates of, and/or

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

           The authorized capital stock of the Issuer consists of 
25,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value and 750,000 shares of 
Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value. The following summary of certain 
provisions of the Common Stock and Preferred Stock does not purport to be 
complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions 
of the Issuer's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended.

PREFERRED STOCK

           Pursuant to the Issuer's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, 
the board of directors has the authority, without further action by the 
stockholders, to issue up to 750,000 shares of Preferred Stock in one or more 
series and to fix the designations, powers, preferences, privileges and 
relative participating, optional or special rights and the qualifications, 
limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, conversion 
rights, voting rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences, any 
or all of which may be greater than the rights of the Common Stock. The board 
of directors, without stockholder approval, can issue Preferred Stock with 
voting, conversion or other rights that could adversely affect the voting 
power and other rights of the holders of the Common Stock. Preferred Stock 
could thus be issued quickly with terms calculated to delay or prevent a 
change in control of the Issuer or make removal of management more difficult. 
At present, there are no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding and the Issuer 
has no plans to issue any of the Preferred Stock.

                                     -99-
<PAGE>
   
           As of July 8, 1998, there were 7,805,636 shares of Common Stock 
outstanding. Another 855,364 shares of Common Stock were reserved for 
issuance pursuant to the Issuer's stock option plans and other stock options 
granted and 7,180,758 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for issuance 
upon exercise of various warrants, including the IPO Warrants, the Hanson 
Warrants, warrants issued to lenders in connection with the Bridge Loan 
Commitment and shares issuable pursuant to various anti-dilution provisions 
contained in the warrants and options described above. In addition, there are 
151,515 shares (assuming a $16.50 per share price at the date of calculation) 
that may be issued based on performance incentives in the terms of the 
acquisition of Application Methods. Accordingly, after giving effect to the 
shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the options and warrants 
described above, there are 9,617,617 shares of Common Stock and 750,000 
shares of Preferred Stock that may be issued in the future at the discretion 
of the Issuer's board of directors.
    
           The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each 
share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. 
Holders of Common Stock may not cumulate votes in elections of Directors. 
Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding shares of 
preferred stock, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably 
such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the board of directors out of 
funds legally available for the payment of dividends. In the event of a 
liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Issuer, the holders of 
Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after 
payment of liabilities and liquidation preferences of any outstanding shares 
of preferred stock. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions 
applicable to the Common Stock. All outstanding shares of common stock are 
fully paid and non-assessable. There are no preemptive, subscription, 
conversion, or redemption rights applicable to the Common Stock.

CERTAIN ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS OF PROVISIONS OF DELAWARE LAW

           The Issuer is subject to Section 203 of the DGCL ("Section 
203") which, subject to certain exceptions, prohibits a Delaware corporation 
from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for 
a period of three years following the date that such stockholder became an 
interested stock, unless: (i) prior to such date, the board of directors of 
the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction 
which resulted in the stockholder of the corporation becoming an interested 
stockholder; (ii) upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the 
stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder 
owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the 
time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the 
number of shares outstanding those shares owned (x) by persons who are 
directors and also officers and (y) by employee stock plans in which employee 
participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares 
held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or 
(iii) on or subsequent to such date, the business combination is approved by 
the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of 
stockholders and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 
66-2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested 
stockholder.

           Section 203 defines business combination to include (i) any merger 
or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder; 
(ii) any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition involving the interested 
stockholder of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation; (iii) subject to 
certain exceptions, any transaction which results in the issuance or transfer 
by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested 
stockholder; (iv) any transaction involving the corporation which has the 
effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or 
series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; 
or (v) the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, 
advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or 
through the corporation. In general, Section 203 defines an interested 
stockholder as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the 
outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person 
affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such entity or person.

WARRANTS

                                     -100-
<PAGE>

           IPO WARRANTS. The IPO Warrants were issued as a component of the 
units of securities offered and sold in connection with the Issuer's IPO 
in 1996. Each IPO Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one share 
of Common Stock at a purchase price of $4.375 per share, subject to 
adjustment in the event that, at any time after the date of the issuance of 
the IPO Warrants, the Issuer (i) sells shares of Common Stock for a 
consideration per share less than the exercise price in effect immediately 
prior to such issuance (or sells options, rights, or warrants to subscribe 
for shares of Common Stock or issues any securities convertible into or 
exchangeable for shares of Common Stock at such lower price); or (ii) issues 
Common Stock as a dividend to the holders of Common Stock; or (iii) 
subdivides or combines the outstanding Common Stock into a greater or lesser 
number of shares.

           IPO WARRANTS ISSUED TO REPRESENTATIVE OF UNDERWRITERS. In 
connection with the Issuer's IPO, the Issuer issued to NTB certain Warrants 
to purchase units of the Issuer's securities, each unit consisting of one 
share of Common Stock and one additional warrant. The terms and conditions of 
these issuances are described above under the caption "CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS 
- -- TRANSACTIONS WITH PROMOTERS."

           HANSON WARRANTS. The Issuer issued warrants to Mr. Hanson 
entitling him to purchase 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The terms and 
conditions of these warrants are described above under the caption "CERTAIN 
TRANSACTIONS -- CHANGE IN CONTROL."

           PRIVATE OFFERING WARRANTS ISSUED TO SALES AGENT. As described 
above under the caption "CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS -- TRANSACTIONS WITH 
PROMOTERS," the Issuer conducted a private offering of units of securities in 
1997. In connection with that offering, the Issuer issued warrants to 
purchase units to NTB.

           BRIDGE LOAN WARRANTS. In connection with the Bridge Loan 
Commitment, the Issuer agreed to issue warrants to the lenders 
to acquire a total of 560,000 shares of Common Stock. See "RECENT 
DEVELOPMENTS--ICC ACQUISITION."

           The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock and warrant 
agent for the IPO Warrants is American Securities Transfer, Inc., 1825 
Lawrence Street, Suite 444, Denver, Colorado 80202-1817.

                           PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
   
         The Selling Securityholder Shares and Warrants subject hereto are 
being offered for sale by the Selling Securityholders. Consequently, the 
Selling Securityholders will receive the proceeds from the sale of such 
Securities by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to this Prospectus. This 
Prospectus also relates to the sale and issuance by the Company of shares of 
Common Stock to holders of the Warrants (other than the Selling Securityholders)
upon the exercise of those Warrants. The Selling Securityholder Shares and 
Warrants may be sold to purchasers from time to time in privately negotiated 
transactions directly by and subject to the discretion of the Selling 
Securityholders. The Selling Securityholders may from time to time offer 
their respective securities for sale through underwriters, dealers, or 
agents, who may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, 
concessions, or commissions from the Selling Securityholders and/or the 
purchasers of such securities for whom they may act as agents. The Selling 
Securityholders and any underwriter, dealer, or agent who participates in the 
distribution of such Selling Securityholders' Securities may be deemed to be 
"underwriters" under the Securities Act and any profit on the sale of such 
securities by any of them and any discounts, commissions, or concessions 
received by any such underwriters, dealers, or agents may be deemed to be 
underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. Selling Securityholders 
may also sell the Securities owned by them pursuant to Rule 144 under the 
Securities Act, if such rule is available for such resales.
    
         At the time a particular offer of the Selling Securityholder Shares 
and Warrants is made by or on the behalf of a Selling Securityholder, a 
Prospectus and a Prospectus Supplement, to the extent required, will be 
distributed which will set forth the number of securities being offered and 
the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, 
dealers, or agents, the purchase price paid by any underwriter for such 
securities purchased from the Selling Securityholders, any discounts, 
commissions, and other items constituting compensation from the Selling 
Securityholders, any discounts, commissions, or concessions allowed, 
reallowed or paid to dealers, and the proposed selling price to the public.

                                   -101-
<PAGE>

         In connection with its IPO, the Company agreed with NTB, the 
representative of the underwriters for the IPO, that it would pay to NTB a 
commission equal to 5% of the gross proceeds of any of the IPO Warrants that 
are exercised under certain conditions. See "DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK." The
purpose of such call is to encourage the holders of the IPO Warrants to 
exercise their IPO Warrants and purchase shares of Common Stock. The Company 
also agreed with NTB that it would pay to NTB a commission equal to 5% of the 
gross proceeds of any exercise of the Warrants that were issued in the 
Company's private offering of units in 1997.

         The Selling Securityholder Shares and Warrants may be sold from time 
to time in one or more transactions: (i) at an offering price which is fixed 
or which may vary from transaction to transaction depending upon the time of 
sale, or (ii) at prices otherwise negotiated at the time of sale. Such prices 
will be determined by the Selling Securityholders or by agreement between the 
Selling Securityholders and their underwriter.

         In order to comply with the applicable securities laws, if any, of 
certain states, the Securities may be offered or sold in such states through 
registered or licensed brokers or dealers in those states. In addition, in 
certain states, such securities may not be offered or sold unless they have 
been registered or qualified for sale in such states or an exemption from 
such registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied 
with.

         Under applicable rules and regulations promulgated under the 
Exchange Act, any person engaged in a distribution of securities may not 
simultaneously bid for or purchase securities of the same class for a period 
of two business days prior to the commencement of such distribution. In 
addition and without limiting the foregoing, the Selling Securityholders will 
be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and 
regulations thereunder, including without limitation Rules 10b-5 and 
Regulation M, in connection with transactions in the Selling Securityholder 
Shares and Warrants during effectiveness of the registration statement of 
which this Prospectus is a part. All of the foregoing may affect the 
marketability of such Securities.

         The Company has agreed to pay all of the expenses incident to the 
registration of the foregoing securities (including registration pursuant to 
the securities laws of certain states) other than: (i) any fees or expenses 
of any counsel retained by any Selling Securityholder and any out-of-pocket 
expenses incurred by any Selling Securityholder or any person retained by any 
Selling Securityholder in connection with registration of the Selling 
Securityholder Shares and Warrants and (ii) commissions, expenses, 
reimbursements, and discounts of underwriters, dealers, or agents, if any.

       CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND 
                            FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Dobson, and will continue to be involved with the Company's audit.

procedure, or any reportable events.

         McGladrey & Pullen, LLP has furnished the Company with a copy of its 
letter addressed to the Commission stating that it agrees with the above 
statements.

                               LEGAL MATTERS

                        INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
 
Board of Directors
Rocky Mountain Internet, Inc.
Denver, Colorado
 
    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ROCKY
MOUNTAIN INTERNET, INC. as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash
flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
    We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
    In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ROCKY
MOUNTAIN INTERNET, INC. as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
    Rocky Mountain Internet, Inc. (the Company) is a provider of Internet access
services and Web services to businesses, professionals, and individuals in the
state of Colorado. The Company facilitates access to the Internet by means of a
regional telecommunications network comprised of a backbone of leased,
high-speed dedicated phone lines, computer hardware and software, and local
access points known as points of presence. The Company's high-speed, digital
telecommunications network provides subscribers with direct access to the full
range of Internet applications and resources.
 
    UNAUDITED INTERIM INFORMATION
 
    Information with respect to March 31, 1998, and the periods ended March 31,
1998 and 1997, is unaudited and not covered by the independent auditors'
reports. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements
reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal adjustments, necessary to
present fairly the financial position of the Company at March 31, 1998, and the
results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1998
and 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
    PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
    The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Rocky Mountain Internet Subsidiary (Colorado) Inc. The
operations of this subsidiary consist solely of the ownership of equipment,
which it leases to the Company. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.
 
    USE OF ESTIMATES
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
    CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
    The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of
three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 1996 and 1997, cash
equivalents consisted primarily of money market accounts.
 
    COST OF REVENUE EARNED
 
    Included in Internet access and services cost of revenue earned is primarily
the cost of high-speed data circuits and telephone lines that allow customers
access to the Company's service plus Internet access fees paid by the Company to
Internet backbone carriers.

NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
        (CONTINUED)
    PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
    Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment are computed using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging
from five to seven years. Certain equipment obtained through capital lease
obligations are amortized over the life of the lease. Improvements to leased
property are amortized over the lesser of the life of the lease or life of the
improvements.
 
    Major additions and improvements to property and equipment are capitalized,
whereas replacements, maintenance, and repairs which do not improve or extend
the lives of the respective assets, are expensed.
 
    REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
    The Company charges customers (subscribers) monthly access fees to the
Internet and recognizes the revenue in the month the access is provided. For
certain subscribers billed in advance, the Company recognizes the revenue over
the period the billing covers. Revenue for other services provided, including
set-up fees charged to customers when their accounts are activated, or equipment
sales, are recognized as the service is performed or the equipment is delivered
to the customer.
 
    ADVERTISING
 
    The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. During the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1996, and 1997, the Company incurred $24,847, $167,565, and
$274,726, respectively, in advertising costs.
 
    CUSTOMER LISTS
 
    The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired
in business acquisitions is recorded as customer lists and is being amortized on
a straight-line basis over five years.
 
    INVENTORIES
 
    Inventories consist of Internet access equipment and are valued at the lower
of cost of market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO)
method.
 
    LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
 
   
    For the years ended December 31, 1995, 1996, and 1997, loss per share is
computed based upon approximately 1,868,000, 2,295,000, and 5,268,000,
respectively, weighted average common shares outstanding for both basic and
diluted earnings per share. The net loss for the years ended December 31, 1996
and 1997 used in the calculation was increased by the preferred stock dividends
paid of $25,000 and $26,875, respectively. All stock options and warrants are
excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as they would have
an antidilutive effect on earnings per share during the years ended December 31,
1995, 1996 and 1997. During 1997 the Company adopted SFAS No. 128 "Earnings Per
Share." In accordance with that statement the loss per share for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1996 have been restated.

        (CONTINUED)
    INCOME TAXES
 
    Deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the tax effects of
differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and
liabilities. A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets
if it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
 
    RENT EXPENSE
 
    The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease
terms. Differences between expense recognized and payments made are recorded as
accrued expenses.
 
    INVESTMENTS
 
    Debt securities and marketable equity securities for which the Company has
no immediate plans to sell but which may be sold in the future are classified as
available-for-sale and carried at fair value. Any unrealized gains and losses
are recorded, net of related income tax effects, in stockholders' equity. At
December 31, 1996, the Company had one U.S. Treasury Note, and two repurchase
agreements with a bank classified as available-for-sale. The repurchase
agreements were secured by U.S. Treasury Notes. Fair value of the investments
approximated cost as of December 31, 1996, the investments matured in 1997.

    The actual provisions (credits) for income taxes varied from the expected
provision (computed by applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rates to
loss before taxes) because the tax benefits of the net operating losses for the
periods ended December 31, 1995, 1996, and 1997, are offset by the valuation
allowance.
 
NOTE 6: REORGANIZATION
 
    The Company was originally formed as a sole proprietorship in October 1993,
and incorporated as a Colorado corporation in March 1994. A new Delaware
corporation was formed in October 1995. On October 31, 1995, the Delaware
corporation purchased all the assets relating to the Colorado corporation's
business, and assumed all of its liabilities, except for certain notes payable
to shareholders. Since both parties in the transaction were under common
control, the transaction has been accounted for similar to a pooling of
interests, and all assets purchased and liabilities assumed were recorded by the
Delaware

corporation at the Colorado corporation's historical costs. These financial
statements reflect the operations of both entities during the years ended
December 31, 1995, 1996, and 1997. The stockholders' equity balances represent
shares outstanding as if the transaction had taken place January 1, 1995.
 
NOTE 7: SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES AND CONCENTRATIONS
 
    Generally accepted accounting principles requires disclosures of certain
significant estimates and current vulnerability due to certain concentrations.
Those matters include the following:
 
    DEPENDENCE ON SUPPLIERS
 
    The Company depends upon third-party suppliers for its access to the
Internet through leased telecommunications lines. Although this access is
available from several alternative suppliers, there can be no assurance that the
Company could obtain substitute services from other providers at reasonable or
comparable prices or in a timely manner. The Company is also dependent upon the
regional Bell operating company to provide installations of circuits and to
maintain those circuits.
 
    YEAR 2000
 
    The Company has begun the process of identifying computer systems that could
be affected by the "Year 2000" issue. The Year 2000 problem is the result of
computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to define the
applicable year. The Company has not estimated the cost of addressing the Year
2000 issue. The impact on the Company's operations of failing to make its
systems Year 2000 compliant in a timely manner cannot presently be determined.
 
NOTE 8: PREFERRED STOCK
 
    On April 26, 1996, the Board of Directors designated 250,000 shares of
Preferred Stock as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (Series A Stock) and set
the terms of the stock. The Series A Stock accrues cumulative dividends at the
rate of 10% per annum. The dividends are payable quarterly to the extent
permitted by applicable law. The Series A Preferred Stock may be converted into
shares of Common Stock at the option of the holder at any time after May 15,
1997. The rate of conversion is the Series A Stock's liquidation value divided
by the conversion price, currently set at $2.00 per share. The Series A Stock's
liquidation value is equal to the price paid for the Series A Stock plus any
cumulative dividends unpaid as of the conversion date. The conversion price is
subject to change due to certain anti-dilution adjustments.
 
    The Company has the authority to issue up to an additional 750,000 shares of
Preferred Stock. The Board of Directors is authorized to determine terms and
preferences of the Preferred Stock prior to issuance.
 
NOTE 9: COMMON STOCK TRANSACTIONS
 
    PUBLIC OFFERING
 
    On September 5, 1996, the Company completed a public offering of 1,365,000
units at an offering price of $3.50 per unit. Each unit consisted of one share
of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at $4.375
per share for a 23-month period commencing October 5, 1997, and prior to
September 5, 1999. Under certain circumstances, the Company may redeem the
warrants at $.25 per

warrant. Additionally, the Company sold the underwriter for $100 warrants to
purchase 125,000 units. These underwriter warrants to purchase units are
exercisable through September 5, 2000, at an exercise price of $4.20 per unit
(for which the accompanying warrant to purchase a share of common stock is
exercisable at $6.5625). Costs of the offering, including a 10% commission paid
to the underwriters, the underwriter's nonaccountable expense allowance, and
professional fees, amounted to $1,000,248, resulting in net proceeds from the
offering of $3,777,252.
 
    PRIVATE PLACEMENT
 
    On September 14, 1997, the Company completed a private placement of units
consisting of two shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of
common stock. The per unit price was $4.00 and was allocated $1.90 to each share
of common stock and $0.20 to the warrant to purchase a share of common stock.
The warrants entitle the holder to purchase a share of common stock for $3.00
and expire on June 13, 2000. The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of
310,500 units amounted to $1,117,920 after deducting offering expenses of
$124,080. The terms of the offering requires the issuance of additional shares
of common stock in the event the Company sells common stock in the future at a
cash price, net of discounts and commissions of less than $1.80 per share,
exclusive of shares issued upon the exercise of employee stock options. The
number of shares issueable under this provision would equate to the number of
shares by which purchasers would have been diluted if shares are sold at net
price of less than $1.80.
 
    In connection with that offering, the Company agreed to issue to the
placement agent, warrants ("Agent's Private Offering Warrants") to purchase
units of securities, each unit consisting of two shares of Common Stock and one
common stock purchase warrant. The Company anticipates that it will issue to the
placement agent, for nominal consideration, 31,050 Agent's Private Offering
Warrants. The Warrants will be exercisable for $4.00 per unit (consisting of two
shares of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock for
$3.00) and will be exercisable for five years.
 
    STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
 
    On October 1, 1997, the Current President (Current President) of the Company
acquired directly from the Company 1,225,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock and a warrant to purchase 4,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock
for $2,450,000. The warrant is exercisable, in whole or in part for an 18 month
period, at $1.90 per share. At December 31, 1997, the Company lacked sufficient
authorized shares to accommodate the issuance of all of the shares underlying
the warrant. The Company intends to amend its Certificate of Incorporation to
increase the authorized common shares from 10,000,000 to 25,000,000 shares.
 
    In connection with the execution of this Stock Purchase Agreement, the
former president resigned as the President, Chief Executive Officer, and a
director of the Company. Contemporaneously, the Current President was elected as
the Company's President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of the Board of
Directors.
 
    The Current President also purchased 275,000 shares of Common Stock from the
former president and former members of the Board of Directors for $550,000, or
$2.00 per share.

NOTE 10: BENEFIT PLANS
 
    MANAGEMENT BONUS PLAN
 
    The Company had a bonus plan during 1996 which entitled certain employees to
receive a cash bonus based upon achievement of specified levels of revenues by
the Company for the year ended December 31, 1996. The Company accrued $158,000
in bonuses under the plan in 1996. The Company gave employees the option of
receiving their bonuses in cash or stock options. As a result, 40,425 stock
options were issued in 1997 to employees at an exercise price of $1.00 per
share. The Company adopted a similar plan for 1997, however, no bonuses were
earned under the 1997 Plan.
 
    STOCK OPTION PLANS
 
    In July 1996, the Company adopted the 1996 Employee Stock Option Plan (the
Employee Plan) and the Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan (the Directors'
Plan). The Employee Plan provides for an authorization of 471,300 shares of
Common Stock for issuance upon exercise of stock options granted under the Plan.
The Employee Plan is administered by the Board of Directors, which determines
the persons to whom options are granted, the type, number, vesting schedule,
exercise price, and term of options granted. Under this plan both incentive and
nonqualified options can be granted.
 
    An aggregate of 18,000 shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance
under the Directors' Plan. All nonemployee directors are automatically granted
nonqualified stock options to purchase 1,500 shares initially and additional
1,500 shares for each subsequent year that they serve up to a maximum of 6,000
shares per director.
 
    In September 1997, the Company adopted the 1997 Stock Option Plan (1997
Plan). The 1997 Plan provides for an authorization of 50,000 shares of Common
Stock for issuance upon exercise of stock options granted under the Plan. The
1997 Plan was established to issue the stock options discussed under Management
Bonus Plan.
 
    In October 1997, the Company granted the current president (see Note 8)
incentive stock options to purchase 191,385 shares of Common Stock at $2.6125
per share and nonqualified stock options to purchase 408,615 shares of Common
Stock at $1.00 per share, subject to approval by the stockholders. The options
vest one year from the date of grant. Compensation of $168,117 relating to the
nonqualified stock options was recorded to compensation expense during the year
ended December 31, 1997.
 
    The Board of Directors has approved the 1998 Employees' Stock Option Plan,
subject to approval by the stockholders. This plan reserves 266,544 shares of
Common Stock for issuance over the ten-year term of the plan.

recorded to compensation expense. The remaining Employee Plan options above have
a five year term and vested fully during 1997 due to a change in control of the
Company (see Note 9).
 
    The Company applies APB Opinion 25 and related Interpretations in accounting
for its plans, and $52,807 and $168,117 in compensation costs have been
recognized in December 31, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Had compensation cost
for the Plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates using
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, the Company's net loss
would have increased by $74,258 and $768,647 in 1996 and 1997, respectively. In
addition, the Company's loss per share would have increased by $.02 and $.14 in
1996 and 1997, respectively.
 
    401(K) PLAN
 
    The Board of Directors has approved a 401(k) Savings and Retirement Plan
that will cover substantially all employees effective March 1, 1998. The
Company's contributions to the Plan will be determined annually by the Board of
Directors.
 
NOTE 11: ACQUISITIONS
 
   
    On November 1, 1997, the Company acquired the customer base and selected
assets of CompuNerd, Inc. for $70,478 in cash and 30,000 shares of the Company's
common stock valued at $67,500. On December 1, 1996, the Company acquired the
Information Exchange, a related party through common ownership, in exchange for
52,723 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $60,385. On January 22,
1997, the Company acquired the dedicated high speed and dial-up subscribers from
Online Network Enterprises, Inc. (O.N.E). The O.N.E. acquisition netted the
Company approximately 50 dedicated and 725 dial-up subscribers and equipment
valued at approximately $24,700. The Company paid $150,000 cash and issued
116,932 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $306,947. The
acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases by recording the assets
acquired at their estimated market value at the acquisition date. The operations
of the Company include the operations of the acquirees from the acquisition
date. Consolidated operations would not have been significantly different for
the Company had the CompuNerd, Inc. and O.N.E. acquisitions been made at January
1, 1996. Unaudited proforma consolidated operations for the years ended December
31, 1995 and 1996, assuming the Information Exchange purchase was made at the

NOTE 13: CONTINUED OPERATIONS
 
    During the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1997, the Company incurred net
losses of $2,342,571 and $4,152,853, respectively, used $1,511,505 and
$3,296,971, respectively, of net cash from operating activities. The Company's
President has plans to contribute approximately $500,000 in additional capital
in 1998. In addition, the Company's management currently has plans it believes
will increase revenues in order to become profitable and generate positive cash
flows from operations. However, there are no assurances that the Company's plans
for revenue growth and improved operating cash flows will be successful. It
could be necessary to raise additional capital or reduce operating costs to meet
liquidity requirements. Reducing operating costs could inhibit the Company's
planned rate of revenue growth.
 
NOTE 14: RESTATEMENT
 
    The 1996 financial statements have been restated to correct the recording of
a nonqualified stock option. The effect of this change was to increase
additional paid-in capital, accumulated deficit and net loss by $40,000 and to
increase basic and diluted loss per share by $.01.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
NOTE 15: FUTURE CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE
 
    In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income." This Statement establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is defined as the
change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and
other events and circumstances from nonowner sources. It includes all changes in
equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to
owners. This Statement requires that all items that are required to be
recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be
reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as
other financial statements. This Statement is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997. Management believes that the adoption of this
Statement will not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated results
of operations or financial position.
 
    In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
an Enterprise and Related Information." This Statement establishes standards for
reporting information about operating segments in annual financial statements of
public business enterprises and requires disclosure of selected information
about operating segments in interim financial reports. The Statement is
effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15,
1997. Management believes that the adoption of this Statement will not have a
material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations or financial
position.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS
 
INTERNET COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION:
 
    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Internet
Communications Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash
flows for the eleven-month period then ended. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audit.
 
    We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
    In our opinion, the December 31, 1997 consolidated financial statements
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Internet Communications Corporation and subsidiaries as of December
31, 1997, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the
eleven-month period then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                     DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND JANUARY 31, 1997
 
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Internet
Communications Corporation (the Company). The Company acquired the outstanding
common stock of Interwest Communications C.S. Corporation, (Interwest) effective
September 1, 1996, as more fully described in note 2. After the acquisition of
Interwest, the Company became 46% controlled by Interwest Group. The Company is
a wide and local area integrator of data and tele-communications equipment
installation, services and carrier circuits.
 
    In April 1997, the Company issued 631,579 shares of common stock for $3.0
million and 63,158 warrants to purchase common stock at $5.70 per share
exercisable for a period of 5 years to Interwest Group. After the purchase,
Interwest Group owns 52% of the Company.
 
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
 
    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company;
its wholly-owned subsidiary Interwest; its 97% subsidiary, Interwest Cable
Network Systems, Inc. (Cable); its 80% subsidiary, Omega Business Communications
Services, Inc. (Sound). The minority interests of the above subsidiaries are
owned by the respective managers of each company and one of the managers has the
option to acquire a stated number of additional shares at a specified price, but
that manager would still own less than 50% of his respective entity. No minority
interests in the losses of these subsidiaries has been recognized because the
related minority interest liabilities have been reduced to zero. All material
intercompany transactions and amounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR END
 
    The Company has elected to change its fiscal year end to December 31 from
January 31, effective February 1, 1997. References to fiscal year 1996 relate to
the year ended January 31, 1997. References to fiscal year 1995 relate to the
year ended January 31, 1996.
 
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
 
    The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments purchased with
an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company
may deposit funds in a financial institution in excess of amounts insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
 
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
 
    Credit risk represents the accounting loss that would be recognized at the
reporting date if counterparties failed completely to perform as contracted.
Concentrations of credit risk (whether on or off balance sheet) that arise from
financial instruments exist for groups of customers or counterparties when they
have similar economic characteristics that would cause their ability to meet
contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic or other
conditions.
 
    Substantially all of the Company's accounts receivable result from data and
telecommunications hardware sales and related services. Historically, credit
losses incurred by the Company have not been

significant. The Company's activities are primarily located in the State of
Colorado, however, activities are conducted throughout the United States.
 
INVENTORY
 
    Inventory, which consists of finished goods (communications equipment), is
stated at average cost. Spares inventory consists of finished parts used in
servicing customer maintenance contracts and is depreciated over a five-year
period. These amounts are stated at the lower of cost or market and a provision
is provided for expected obsolescence.
 
EQUIPMENT
 
    Equipment is stated at cost, and depreciation is calculated on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of these assets generally
five to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the
useful lives of the assets or the lease term. Expenditures for maintenance and
repairs are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed
of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the
respective accounts and any gain or loss on the disposition is reflected in
operations.
 
    Equipment consists of the following (in thousands):

REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
    Most of the Company's contracts are short-term. For contract revenue, the
Company utilizes the percentage-of-completion method under which revenues are
recognized by measuring the percentage of costs incurred to date to estimated
total costs for each contract.
 
    Contract costs include direct material and labor costs and those indirect
costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, and
tools.
 
    Operating costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated
losses on incomplete contracts are made in the period in which such losses are
determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated
profitability may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in
the period in which the revisions are determined.
 
    Revenue on maintenance contracts is recognized over the term of the
agreement. Unearned income represents the current month's advance billings and
revenue received in advance for services under

contract. These amounts will be recognized as revenue when earned. Commissions
paid in advance are expensed over the term of the related noncancelable service
agreements.
 
INCOME TAXES
 
    The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income
taxes, whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future
tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
 
OTHER ASSETS
 
    The excess of the purchase price over the net amounts acquired in the
acquisition of Interwest and any other acquisitions is recorded as goodwill.
Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 5 to 20
years. Accumulated amortization at December 31, 1997 and January 31, 1997 is
approximately $360,000 and $40,000, respectively.
 
    Other assets is comprised primarily of noncompete agreements and purchased
customer lists which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over five
years. At December 31, 1997 and January 31, 1997, the related accumulated
amortization is approximately $292,000 and $51,000, respectively.
 
    The amortization expense for the eleven months ended December 31, 1997 and
the years ended January 31, 1997 and 1996 for the above intangibles was
approximately $406,000, $98,000 and $42,000, respectively.
 
USE OF ESTIMATES
 
    The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company's
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
 
    The Company's consolidated financial statements are based on a number of
significant estimates, including the percentage of completion on projects in
progress at year-end which is the basis for the calculation of revenue earned
for these projects. The Company's estimates to complete are determined by
management for all projects in process at year-end and could change as future
information becomes available. Management believes it is reasonably possible
that there will be changes to total revenues and expenses on projects in process
at year-end through change orders that will affect these projects' ultimate
profitability.
 
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
    The estimated fair values for financial instruments under SFAS No. 107,
DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, are determined at
discrete points in time based on relevant market information. These estimates
involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. At December 31,
1997 and January 31, 1997, the Company believes the carrying values of its
receivables, notes payables and accounts payable approximate their estimated
fair values.

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
 
    The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment when events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not
be recoverable, in accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards No. 121,
ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO
BE DISPOSED OF (SFAS 121). This review consists of a comparison of the carrying
value of the asset with the asset's expected future undiscounted cash flows
without interest costs. Estimates of expected future cash flows are to represent
management's best estimate based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and
projections. If the expected future cash flow exceeds the carrying value of the
asset, no impairment is recognized. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds
the expected future cash flows, an impairment exists and is measured by the
excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the asset. Any impairment
provisions recognized are permanent and may not be restored in the future.
 
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
    In fiscal 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED
COMPENSATION, (SFAS 123). SFAS 123 encourages, but does not require, companies
to recognize compensation expense for grants of stock, stock options and other
equity instruments to employees based on fair value. Companies that do not adopt
the fair value accounting rules must disclose the impact of adopting a new
method in the notes to the financial statements. Transactions in equity
instruments with non-employees for goods or services must be accounted for on
the fair value method. The Company has elected not to adopt the fair value
accounting method prescribed by SFAS 123 for employee stock compensation, and is
subject only to the disclosure requirements prescribed by SFAS 123. Adoption of
SFAS 123 has no effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
 
LOSS PER SHARE
 
    During 1997, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE (SFAS 128), which is effective
for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997.
Under SFAS 128, basic loss per share is computed on the basis of
weighted-average common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share considers
potential common stock in the calculation, and is the same as basic loss per
share for the 11 months ended at December 31, 1997, the year ended January 31,
1997 and January 31, 1996, as all of the Company's potentially dilutive
securities were anti-dilutive during these periods.
 
RECLASSIFICATIONS
 
    Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995
financial statements to conform to the fiscal 1997 presentations. Such
reclassifications have no effect on net income.
 
(2) ACQUISITIONS
 
    In September 1996, the Company acquired the outstanding common stock of
Interwest through the issuance of 2,306,541 shares of its common stock, which
was valued at approximately $5,480,000. This acquisition was accounted for under
the purchase method of accounting. The excess of the purchase price over the net
liabilities acquired of approximately $2,162,000 is being amortized over a
period not to exceed 20 years.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
(4) GOODWILL
 
    In the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment
of $746,000 which is directly associated with discontinued operations (note 10).
The goodwill is related to two of the Company's non-core business segments which
the Company's Board of Directors has adopted a plan to sell during 1998.
 
    In addition, during the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company recognized a
goodwill impairment of $259,000, which is recorded in general and administrative
expenses. The goodwill relates to a 1996 purchase business combination and was
determined to have been impaired because the purchased business was generating
recurring operating losses and key employees were transferred to other operating
units of the Company.
 
(5) NOTES PAYABLE
 
    In April 1997, the Company renegotiated its credit facility. The new
facility consists of a line-of-credit for $5.0 million with interest at prime
plus 1/2% (totaling 9% at December 31, 1997) and a $450,000 facility to support
a performance bond which will expire upon the release of the bond. As of
December 31, 1997, there was $4,390,000 outstanding under the line-of-credit and
there was no balance committed under the performance bond. The line-of-credit is
collateralized by accounts receivable and inventory and expires in September
1998, but may be extended for an additional year at sole discretion of the
financial institution. As of December 31, 1997, the Company was not in
compliance with certain covenants to its credit facility, however, such
covenants have been waived as of December 31, 1997 through the expiration date
of the credit facility. Pursuant to the waiver granted by the Company's lender,
the Company and its lender must agree to the terms of an amendment to the credit
facility to incorporate monthly cash flow covenants for the periods from May
1998 through August 1998, by April 15, 1998.
 
    The Company also has various notes payable agreements with various
individuals totaling approximately $254,000 and $553,000 at December 31, 1997
and January 31, 1997, respectively. In general, these notes are unsecured,
however, a few are collateralized by certain equipment and vehicles of the
Company. Interest accrues on these notes at between approximately 7% and 14% per
annum.
 
    Future debt maturities as of December 31, 1997 are as follows (in

    As of January 31, 1997, the terms of the credit facility were substantially

January 31, 1997.

    The Company also leases telecommunications circuits under noncancelable
leases. The Company subleases these circuits to its customers as part of its
normal operations. Minimum commitments under these agreements total
approximately $1,275,000 for fiscal 1998, $1.5 million for fiscal 1999 and 2000,
$1.1 million for fiscal 2001, and only minimal commitments thereafter.
 
    The Company has an outstanding receivable of $620,000 at December 31, 1997,
related to a project for which the Company is a subcontractor. This receivable
relates to the cost of delays and inefficiencies, as a result of environmental
hazards at the worksite. The Company anticipates recovering substantially all of
these costs from the contractor during 1998. The Company is indemnified by
Interwest Group under a previous business combination for any losses resulting
from this contract.
 
    The Company has developed a plan to deal with potential Year 2000 issues and
has begun converting its computer systems to be Year 2000 compliant. The plan
provides for the conversion efforts to be completed by the end of 1999. Year
2000 issues are the result of computer programs being written using two digits
rather than four to define the applicable year. The Company is expensing all
costs associated with these system changes as the costs are incurred.
 
(7) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
    The Company has authorized 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, which may
be issued in series and with such preferences as determined by the Company's
Board of Directors. As of December 31, 1997, no preferred stock has been issued.
 
    During the fiscal year 1996, the Company adopted, and the stockholders
approved, an Incentive Stock Plan (Plan), which, as subsequently amended,
authorizes the issuance of up to 875,000 shares of common stock. Pursuant to the
Plan, the Company may grant "incentive stock options" (intended to qualify under
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), non-qualified
stock options and stock purchase rights or a combination thereof.

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
 
(7) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (CONTINUED)
 
    Incentive stock options may not be granted at an exercise price of less than
the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant (except for
holders of more that 10% common stock, whereby the exercise price must be at
least 110% of the fair market value at the date of grant for incentive stock
options). The term of the options may not exceed ten years.
 
    During the fiscal year 1996, the Company also adopted and the stockholders
approved, the Non Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan (Outside Directors'
Plan), which provides for the grant of stock options to non-employee directors
of the Company and any subsidiary. An aggregate of 40,000 shares of common stock
are reserved for issuance under the Outside Directors' Plan. The exercise price
of the options will be the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant.
Outside directors are automatically granted options to purchase 10,000 shares
initially and an additional 2,000 shares for each subsequent year that they
serve. All options granted vest over a 3-year period from the date of the grant.
 
    The following is a summary of activity under these stock option plans for

PRO FORMA STOCK BASED COMPENSATION DISCLOSURES
 
    The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in
accounting for its stock options which are granted to employees. Accordingly, no
compensation cost was recognized for grants of options during the eleven months
ended December 31, 1997 and the years ended January 31, 1997 and 1996 to
employees since the exercise prices were not less than the fair value of the
Company's common stock on the grant dates. Had compensation cost been determined
based on the fair value method described in SFAS 123, the Company's net loss and
net loss per share would have been increased to the pro forma amounts indicated
below:

    The Company did not recognize tax benefits for the eleven-month period ended
December 31, 1997, the fiscal year ended January 31, 1997 and January 31, 1996
due to increases in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets in those
periods. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets at December 31, 1997
and January 31, 1997 was $3,015,000 and $952,000, respectively, due primarily to
an increase in the Company's net operating loss carryforwards.
 
    As of December 31, 1997, the Company has income tax loss carryforwards of
approximately $6,436,000 which expire in the years 2006 through 2012. The
utilization of the majority of these net operating loss carryforwards have been
restricted because of ownership changes. These restrictions limit the amount of
utilizable net operating loss carryforwards each year.
 
(9) EMPLOYEE SAVING PLANS
 
    The Company provides two separate savings plans to its' employees: (1) the
Internet Communications Employee Retirement Savings Plan and Trust, and (2) the
Interwest Communications Employee Thrift Retirement Plan.
 
    The Internet Communications Employee Retirement Savings Plan and Trust
permits employees to make contributions by salary reductions pursuant to section
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. This plan covers substantially all of the
pre-merger Internet Communications Corporation employees who have been employed
with the Company for six months and are at least 21 years of age. The Company
may also make additional cash contributions at the discretion of the Board of
Directors. Employees are fully vested in employer contributions after they
complete six years of service. There were no Company contributions for the 11
month period ended December 31, 1997 or for the years ended January 31, 1997 and
1996.
 
    The Interwest Communications Employee Thrift Retirement Plan permits
employees to make contributions by salary reductions pursuant to section 401(k)
of the Internal Revenue Code. This plan covers substantially all of the
pre-merger Interwest Communications Corporation employees who have been employed
with the Company for one year and are at least 21 years of age. Each employees
contribution up to a maximum of 10% is matched 50% by the Company. The Company
may also make additional cash contributions at the discretion of the Board of
Directors. Employees are fully vested in employer contributions after they

1997 were $97,689 and $44,675, respectively.
 
    Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted a new 401(k) plan. The new
plan will merge the two existing plans together.
 
(10) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
 
    In March 1998, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a formal plan to
sell its non-core business segments, consisting of Sound and Cable, as a part of
the Company's strategic focus on providing integrated and high-end network
systems. The Segments which were acquired in September 1996, have been accounted
for as discontinued operations in accordance with APB 30 for the 11 months ended
December 31, 1997 and year ended January 31, 1997, which among other provisions,
requires the plan of disposal to be carried out within one year (the Divestiture
Period). Remaining assets and liabilities of Sound and Cable, primarily consist
of accounts receivable and accounts payable. Summarized results of Sound and
Cable for the periods since acquisition are as follows (dollars in thousands):

                                 MARCH 31, 1998
                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE 1--BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
    The financial statements included herein have been prepared by Internet
Communications Corporation ("Internet" or the "Company"), without audit,
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and include all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary
for a fair presentation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading; however, it is suggested that
these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and the notes thereto which are incorporated by reference in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997. The
financial data for the interim periods may not necessarily be indicative of
results to be expected for the year.
 
CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR END
 
    The Company elected to change its fiscal year end to December 31 from
January 31, effective February 1, 1997. References to the first quarter of 1997
relate to the three month period ended April 30, 1997.
 
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
 
    In March 1998, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a formal plan to
sell its non-core business segments ("Segments"). The Segments have been
accounted for as discontinued operations in accordance with APB 30. Remaining
assets and liabilities of the Segments referred to as Omega Business
Communications Services, Inc. ("Omega") and Interwest Cable Network Systems,
Inc. ("ICNS"), primarily consist of accounts receivable and accounts payable.
The April 30, 1997 consolidated financial statements have been restated to
conform with the March 31, 1998 presentation.
 
   
NOTE 2--DEBT
    
 
    In March 1998, the Company received $1.6 million from a related party, in
exchange for a convertible promissory note, due March 1999. The note bears
interest at 10% and interest payments are due quarterly. If the Company defaults
on the promissory note, the remaining principal outstanding may be converted
into common stock of the Company at $4.25 per share. Proceeds from the note were
used for working capital.
 
    The Company has a borrowing agreement with a lending institution which
provides for a $5.0 million credit facility. At March 31, 1998, the Company had
borrowed $5.0 million against the facility. The borrowing agreement expires in
September 1998. The Company's intention is to renew the line of credit with the
bank, however, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful.
 
   
NOTE 3--RESTRUCTURING
    
 
    In March, 1998, the Company announced a restructuring plan aimed principally
at tightening the strategic focus on the data communications network service
market. Management determined the Company had over-extended resources in the
Rocky Mountain region and had evolved into an overly complex

organization. Accordingly, the number of departments was reduced and 50
employees were separated from the Company, representing 21% of the Company's
workforce (excluding discontinued operations). The personnel reductions were
largely in the sales department and the administration department. In addition,
during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, the
Company had launched an entirely separate wholesale engineering services
business. The closure of this entity was integral to the restructuring.
 
    These restructuring actions resulted in the Company recognizing an expense
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 in the amount of $1,608,000. The
restructuring expense is comprised of several items, including: employee
severance, reduction in manufacturers' product lines, closure of the wholesale
engineering services company and consolidation of facilities. The restructuring
expenses are detailed in the following table:

To the Board of Directors
Application Methods, Inc./
E-SELL Commerce Systems, Inc.
Seattle, Washington
 
    We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Application
Methods, Inc. and E-SELL Commerce Systems, Inc. as of December 31, 1997, and the
related combined statements of operations and retained earnings, and combined
cash flows for the year then ended. These combined financial statements are the
responsibility of the Companies' management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
    We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
    In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of Application
Methods, Inc. and E-SELL Commerce Systems, Inc. as of December 31, 1997, and the
results of its combined operations and its combined cash flows for the year then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    ORGANIZATION
 
    Application Methods, Inc. ("Application Methods") develops computer software
for its clients on a custom basis. In addition, it sells certain computer
software products it internally develops. During 1997, sales and service revenue
from one customer accounted for 13% of total sales and service revenue. Accounts
receivable for three customers account for 50% of total accounts receivable.
 
    E-SELL Commerce Systems, Inc. ("E-SELL") was established to sell certain
software created by Application Methods. At December 31, 1997, there had been no
sales and no other operations.
 
    These financial statements are the combination of these two companies ("the
Companies"). Combination is appropriate because the two companies have the same
stock ownership.
 
    USE OF ESTIMATES
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from the estimates that were
used.
 
    ADVERTISING COSTS
 
    Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $6,787 for the year
ended December 31, 1997.
 
    SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
 
    Software development costs are expensed as incurred.
 
    CASH
 
    Cash includes cash balances held at a bank. Cash balances are occasionally
in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
 
    Cash payments for interest were $12,016 during the year ended December 31,
1997. No cash payments for income taxes were made during the year ended December
31, 1997.
 
    ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
 
    The Companies use the allowance method for recognizing bad debts. Management
believes no allowance is necessary at December 31, 1997.
 
    FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT
 
    Furniture and equipment are depreciated using accelerated methods over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets.
 
    TAXES ON INCOME
 
    The Companies account for income taxes under an asset and liability approach
that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for
expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in
financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the
Companies generally consider all expected future events other than enactments of
changes in the tax laws or rates.

</TABLE>
 
    Rent expense was $84,605 for the year ended December 31, 1997.
 
NOTE 4. DEFERRED INCOME TAXES
 
    The temporary differences causing the deferred tax effects results from
using the cash basis of accounting for income tax purposes and the accrual basis
for financial reporting purposes.
 
    Application Methods has an unused net operating tax loss of $15,100 which
expires in 2012. An asset of $2,265 was established for this net operating tax
loss which has been fully reserved.
 
NOTE 5. CONTRACTS
 
    Application Methods has contracts for consulting with customers totaling
$90,169 at December 31, 1997. These contracts start in 1998. These amounts have
not been recorded on the balance sheet or included in revenue.
 
NOTE 6. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
    Subsequent to December 31, 1997, Application Methods and E-SELL signed a
letter of intent to sell the Companies to a company that is an internet service
provider. The value of the assets and liabilities have not been adjusted for
this anticipated sale.

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    ORGANIZATION
 
    Application Methods, Inc. ("Application Methods") develops computer software
for its clients on a custom basis. In addition, it sells certain computer
software products it internally develops. At March 31, 1998, sales and service
revenue from two customers accounted for 32% of total sales and service revenue.
Accounts receivable for three customers accounted for 43% of total accounts
receivable at March 31, 1998.
 
    E-SELL Commerce Systems, Inc. ("E-SELL") was established to sell certain
software created by Application Methods.
 
    These financial statements are the combination of these two companies ("the
Companies"). Combination is appropriate because the two companies have the same
stock ownership.
 
    USE OF ESTIMATES
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from the estimates that were
used.
 
    SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
 
    Software development costs are expensed as incurred.
 
    CASH
 
    Cash includes cash balances held at a bank. Cash balances are occasionally
in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
 
    Cash payments for interest were $3,837 for the period ended March 31, 1998.
No cash payments for income taxes were made during the period ended March 31,
1998.
 
    ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
 
    The Companies use the allowance method for recognizing bad debts. Management
believes no allowance is necessary at March 31, 1998.
 
    FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT
 
    Furniture and equipment are depreciated using accelerated methods over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets.
 
    TAXES ON INCOME
 
    The Companies account for income taxes under an asset and liability approach
that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for
expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in
financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the
Companies generally consider all expected future events other than enactments of
changes in the tax laws or rates.

NOTE 3. LEASES
 
    The Companies lease an office under an operating lease expiring January 31,
2002. In addition, the Companies lease certain computer equipment. The following
are the future minimum rental payments required under the lease for the years
ending December 31:

</TABLE>
 
    Rent expense was $35,418 for the three month period ended March 31, 1998.
 
NOTE 4. DEFERRED INCOME TAXES
 
    The temporary differences causing the deferred tax effects results from
using the cash basis of accounting for income tax purposes and the accrual basis
for financial reporting purposes.
 
    Application Methods has an unused net operating tax loss of $15,100 which
expires in 2012. An asset of $2,265 was established for this net operating tax
loss which has been used to offset the deferred tax liability. For the three
month period ended March 31, 1998, the Companies generated current tax losses of
$52,000. An asset of $7,800 was established for this net operating tax loss
which has also been used to offset the deferred tax liability.
 
NOTE 5. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
    Subsequent to March 31, 1998, Application Methods and E-SELL signed a letter
of intent to sell the Companies to a company that is an internet service
provider. The value of the assets and liabilities have not been adjusted for
this anticipated sale.

To the Board of Directors
Application Methods, Inc.
Seattle, Washington

We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Application Methods, Inc. as

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    ORGANIZATION
 
    Application Methods, Inc. ("Application Methods") develops computer software
for its clients on a custom basis. In addition, it sells certain computer
software products it internally develops. During 1996, sales and service revenue
from two customers accounted for 54% of total sales and service revenue.
Accounts receivable for two customers account for 55% of total accounts
receivable.
 
    USE OF ESTIMATES
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from the estimates that were
used.
 
    ADVERTISING COSTS
 
    Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and totaled $13,648 for the year
ended December 31, 1996.
 
    SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
 
    Software development costs are expensed as incurred.
 
    CASH
 
    Cash includes cash balances held at a bank. Cash balances are occasionally
in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
 
    Cash payments for interest were $2,178 during the year ended December 31,
1996. No cash payments for income taxes were made during the year ended December
31, 1996.
 
    ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
 
    Application Methods uses the allowance method for recognizing bad debts.
Management believes no allowance is necessary at December 31, 1996.
 
    FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT
 
    Furniture and equipment are depreciated using accelerated methods over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets.
 
    TAXES ON INCOME
 
    Application Methods accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability
approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities
for expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in
Application Methods' financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future
tax consequences, Application Methods generally considers all expected future
events other than enactments of changes in the tax laws or rates.

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    ORGANIZATION
 
    Application Methods, Inc. ("Application Methods") develops computer software
for its clients on a custom basis. In addition, it sells certain computer
software products it internally develops. During the three months ended March
31, 1997, sales and service revenue from three customers accounted for 37% of
total sales and service revenue. Accounts receivable for five customers account
for 65% of total accounts receivable at March 31, 1997.
 
    USE OF ESTIMATES
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from the estimates that were
used.
 
    SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
 
    Software development costs are expensed as incurred.
 
    CASH
 
    Cash includes cash balances held at a bank. Cash balances are occasionally
in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
 
    Cash payments for interest were $2,021 during the three months ended March
31, 1997. No cash payments for income taxes were made during the three months
ended March 31, 1997.
 
    ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
 
    Application Methods uses the allowance method for recognizing bad debts.
Management believes no allowance is necessary at March 31, 1997.
 
    FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT
 
    Furniture and equipment are depreciated using accelerated methods over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets.
 
    TAXES ON INCOME
 
    Application Methods accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability
approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities
for expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in
Application Methods' financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future
tax consequences, Application Methods generally considers all expected future
events other than enactments of changes in the tax laws or rates.

    Rent expense was $17,017 for the three months ended March 31, 1997.
 
NOTE 4. DEFERRED INCOME TAXES
 
    The temporary differences causing the deferred tax effects results from
using the cash basis of accounting for income tax purposes and the accrual basis
for financial reporting purposes.
 
    For the three month period ended March 31, 1997, Application Methods
generated current tax losses of $49,300. An asset of $7,395 was established for
this net operating tax loss which has been used to offset the deferred tax
liability.
 
NOTE 5. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
    In 1998, Application Methods signed a letter of intent to sell the Company
and a related company (E-SELL) to a company that is an internet service
provider. The value of the assets and liabilities have not been adjusted for
this anticipated sale.

                               DECEMBER 31, 1997
                  (INFORMATION AS OF AND FOR THE PERIODS ENDED
                     MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1998 IS UNAUDITED)
 
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    THE COMPANY
 
    Infohiway, Inc. (the Company), formed in April of 1996, is a privately held
company located in Denver, CO which maintains their acquired world wide web
search engine and advertises for customers on their web page. In addition to
advertising revenue, the Company receives commissions on sales of third party
products over the internet and also sells their own software. The Company is
dependent upon its shareholders for financial support and support of its
operations.
 
    The shareholders, who are also employees of the Company are not paid an
annual salary.
 
    PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
 
    Property and equipment is stated at cost. Computer equipment and software is
depreciated over five years using the double declining balance method.
 
    INTANGIBLE ASSETS
 
    The Company recorded $1,048 of organizational costs in 1996. These costs are
amortized over a five year period using the straight-line method.
 
    REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
    The Company primarily derives revenue from advertisements on their web page,
software sales and commissions from third parties related to sales over the
internet. Advertising agreements are negotiated individually and vary as to
length of time and amounts charged. The Company records accounts receivable and
revenue as services are rendered. The Company sells their software over the
internet and records revenue as customers "download" the software after
remitting payment.
 
    INCOME TAXES
 
    The Company has elected treatment as a "Subchapter S" corporation for state
and federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, all income taxes are paid by its
shareholders.
 
    ESTIMATES
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
 
    INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
    The accompanying interim financial statements as of March 31, 1997 and 1998
and for the three-month periods ended on March 31, 1997 and 1998 are unaudited
but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) necessary for fair presentation of the

accounts payable and accrued liabilities was paid in April of 1998. The interest
rates on these loans varied from 12 to 24% over the term of the loans. The
Company also has a note payable due to the principal shareholder of $8,094 as of
December 31, 1997.
 
(3) SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
    On June 5, 1998, the Company's shareholder's sold all of the Company's
outstanding stock to Rocky Mountain Internet, Inc. (RMI) in exchange for 150,000

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

         Article 8 of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as amended 
provides

         "No director of the corporation shall be personally liable to the 
corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary 
duty as a director, except as to liability (i) for any breach of the 
director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for 
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct 
or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for violations of Section 174 of the 
Delaware General Corporation Law or (iv) for any transaction from which the 
director derived any improper personal benefit. If the Delaware General 
Corporation Law hereafter is amended to eliminate or limit further the 
liability of a director, then, in addition to the elimination and limitation 
of liability provided by the preceding sentence, the liability of each 
director shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent provided or 
permitted by the amended Delaware General Corporation Law. Any repeal or 
modification of this Article 8 shall not adversely affect any right or 
protection of a director under this Article 8 as in effect immediately prior 
to such repeal or modification with respect to any liability that would have 
accrued, but for this Article 8, prior to such repeal or modification."

         Section 5.1 of the Company's By-Laws provides, in general, that the 
Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as now or 
hereafter in effect, indemnify any person who was or is threatened to be made 
a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, 
whether criminal, civil, administrative, or investigative (a "Proceeding"), 
by reason 

                                     II-1
<PAGE>

of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Company, or, by 
reason of the fact that such officer or director is or was serving at the 
request of the Company as a director, office, employee, or agent of another 
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, association, or other 
enterprise, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including 
attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and 
amounts paid in settlement reasonably incurred by him in connection with such 
Proceeding, including any Proceeding by or on behalf of the Company and will 
advance all reasonable expenses incurred by or on behalf of any such person 
in connection with any Proceeding, whether prior to or after final 
disposition of such Proceeding. Section 5.8 of the bylaws also provide that 
the Company may also indemnify and advance expenses to employees or agents 
who are not officers or directors of the Company.

         The Company has purchased a directors' and officers' liability 
insurance contract that provides, within stated limits, reimbursement either 
to a director or officer whose actions in his capacity result in liability, 
or to the Registrant, in the event it has indemnified the director or officer.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

         The Company was organized in October of 1995 in connection with the 
transfer by its predecessor corporation, Rocky Mountain Internet, Inc., a 
Colorado corporation (the "Predecessor"), of substantially all of its assets 
to the Company in consideration of the assumption by the Company of 
substantially all of the liabilities of the Predecessor. In connection with 
its formation, the Company issued 1,868,000 shares of Common Stock to Messrs. 
Welch, Phillips, Loud and Dimoff and one other shareholder (who was a 
shareholder in the Predecessor) for cash consideration equal to the par value 
thereof, or an aggregate of $1,868. That transaction was effected only with 
persons familiar with the business of the Predecessor without general 
solicitation or advertising and was exempt under Section 4(2) of the 
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").

         The Company effected an offering of convertible debentures 
commencing in October, 1995, with sales to 33 persons in an aggregate amount 
of $490,000 (the "Debenture Private Placement Offering"). The last sale of 
debentures occurred February 2, 1996. The debentures are convertible into 
common stock at the election of the debenture holders at a conversion price 
of $0.40 in principal amount per share. The debentures bear interest at the 
rate of 12% per annum, payable quarterly, and are prepayable by RMI at any 
time without premium or penalty. No general solicitation or advertising was 
conducted in connection with the sale, and most purchasers are family and 
friends of officers, directors and shareholders of RMI. All of the purchasers 
were given unaudited financial statements of the Company and a disclosure 
document describing the Company and its business. Each purchaser signed a 
subscription agreement in which such person represented that he or she was 
acquiring the debentures for investment and without a view to distribution, 
that he or she had knowledge and experience in financial matters, and that he 
or she had been given an opportunity to have access to information about, and 
to ask questions of officers of, the Company. The Company filed a Form D in 
respect of the offering, specifying Rule 504 as the applicable exemption. The 
Company is of the view that the Debenture Private Placement Offering was also 
exempt from the registration requirements of the Act under Section 4(2).

         On or about June 10, 1996, the Company sold 250,000 shares of Series 
A Convertible Preferred Stock to a group of approximately 26 persons 
(counting spouses holding jointly separately for such purpose) at a price of 
$2.00 per share ($500,000 in the aggregate). The Series A Preferred Stock is 
convertible into Common Stock, but not until May 15, 1997. All purchasers in 
the offering executed subscription agreements pursuant to which, among other 
things, each warranted as to his status as an accredited investor and as to 
his investment intent. No general solicitation or advertising was used in 
connection with the offering or sale of the Series A Preferred Stock. 
NTB, the Representative in connection with the offering under this 
Registration Statement, acted as placement agent in connection with the sale 
of the Series A Preferred Stock and received a commission of 10% of 

                                    II-2
<PAGE>

the proceeds of such sale. All investors received a disclosure document 
including audited financial statements of the Company prior to their purchase 
and the Company filed a Form D in respect of that offering. The Company 
believes that the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock was exempt from the 
registration requirements of the Act pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D and 
Sections 4(6) and 4(2) of the Act.

         The Predecessor, in connection with its formation in March of 1994, 
issued 248,000 shares of common stock to Christopher K. Phillips and 254,000 
shares of common stock to Jim D. Welch, both of whom were directors and 
officers in the Predecessor. The purchase price paid was $0.0057 cash per 
share by Mr. Phillips and $0.0099 per share by Mr. Welch. The Company 
understands that this transaction was exempt from registration under the Act 
pursuant to Sections 4(6) and 4(2) thereof.

         The Predecessor also issued 12,000 common shares to an investment 
banker in consideration of the promise by such person to provide financial 
advice and investment banking services. The Company understands that such 
transaction was exempt under Section 4(2) of the Act.

         The Predecessor sold 60,000 common shares to each of three persons 
in August 1994, at a cash price of $0.08 per share. The Predecessor also 
sold 6,000 common shares to a fourth person in August 1994, at a price of 
$0.83 per share. The Company understands that this transaction was exempt 
under Section 4(2) of the Act. All of the foregoing persons except the latter 
and Messrs. Welch, Phillips and Scott Puryear, ceased to be shareholders of the
Predecessor prior to the Reincorporation Transaction and are not shareholders 
of the Company.

         Between June 13, 1997, and approximately September 15, 1997, the 
Company sold 310,500 units of securities to a group of approximately 17 
persons (counting spouses holding jointly as one person for such purpose) at 
a price of $4.00 per unit ($1,242,000 in the aggregate, before offering 
costs). Each unit consists of two shares of Common Stock and one warrant to 
purchase a share of Common Stock for a price of $3.00 per share until June 
13, 2000. No general solicitation or advertising was used in connection with 
the offering or sale of the units. NTB, the representative of the 
underwriters in connection with the Company's IPO, acted as placement agent 
in connection with the sale of the units and received a commission of 10% of 
the proceeds of such sale. NTB also received an option to purchase 31,050 of 
the units. The terms, including the exercise price, of the warrants included 
in the units that NTB received an option to purchase are identical to the 
terms of the warrants included in the units purchased by the investors in 
this offering. All investors received a private placement memorandum, a copy 
of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 
1996, and a copy of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the 
quarter ended March 31, 1997, and the Company filed a Form D in respect of 
that offering. The Company believes that the sale of the units was exempt 
from the registration requirements of the Act pursuant to Rule 506 of 
Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

         As disclosed under the caption "CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS--CHANGE IN 
CONTROL" in the Prospectus that forms a part of this registration statement, 
the Company issued 1,225,000 shares of Common Stock to Mr. Douglas H. Hanson 
in connection with his acquisition of control of the Company as of October 1, 
1997. Contemporaneously with this transaction, the Company also agreed to 
issue to Mr. Hanson warrants to purchase 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock, 
subject to the approval of the Company's shareholders of an amendment to the 
Company's certificate of incorporation to increase the number of shares of 
Common Stock that the Company is authorized to issue. The offer and sale were 
made in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) 
of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Mr. Hanson was 
represented by counsel in connection with his investment and conducted a 
thorough "due diligence" investigation of the Company prior to closing the 
transaction. Mr. Hanson "ha[d] access to the same kind of information that 
the [Securities] Act would 

                                    II-3
<PAGE>

make available in the form of a registration statement," SECURITIES AND 
EXCHANGE COMMISSION V. RALSTON PURINA CO., 346 U.S. 981 (1953).

         As disclosed under the caption "RECENT DEVELOPMENTS--OTHER 
ACQUISITIONS" in the Prospectus that forms a part of this registration 
statement, the Company issued an aggregate of 150,000 shares of the Common 
Stock on June 5, 1998 to the shareholders of the Infohiway pursuant to the 
terms of the Infohiway Merger Agreement.  The sale of these shares was made 
in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of 
the Securities Act.  The shareholders of the Infohiway were represented by 
counsel in the transaction and received copies of all reports and statements 
filed by the Company under the Exchange Act during the period of 
approximately one year prior to the acquisition.  Accordingly, the Company 
believes that such shareholders "ha[d] access to the same kind of information 
that the [Securities] Act would make available in the form of a registration 
statement."

         As disclosed under the caption "RECENT DEVELOPMENTS--OTHER 
ACQUISITIONS" in the Prospectus that forms a part of this registration 
statement, the Company issued an aggregate of 286,369 shares of Common Stock 
on July 1, 1998 to the shareholders of Application Methods pursuant to the 
terms of the Application Methods Merger Agreement.  The sale of these shares 
was made in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 
4(2) of the Securities Act.  The shareholders of Application Methods were 
represented by counsel in the transaction and received copies of all reports 
and statements filed by the Company under the Exchange Act during the period 
of approximately one year prior to the acquisition.  Accordingly, the Company 
believes that such shareholders "ha[d] access to the same kind of information
that the [Securities] Act would make available in the form of a registration 
statement."

Item 17. Undertakings.

         The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

         (1)      To file, during any period in which offers or sales are 
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                  (i)  To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) 
of the Securities Act of 1933;

                  (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events 
arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most 
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the 
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the 
registration statement;

                  (iii) To include any material information with respect to 
the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration 
statement or any material change to such information in the registration;

                                    II-5
<PAGE>

         (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to 
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, 
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the 
initial bona fide offering thereof.

         (3)      To remove from registration by means of a post-effective  
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the 
termination of the offering.

         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 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event 
that a claim for indemnification against such 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.

                                    II-6
