stockholders approved an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation
to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock from
10,000,000 to 25,000,000.

NOTE 6 ACQUISITIONS
On June 5, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of
Infohiway Inc. pursuant to the terms of a Merger Agreement dated June 5, 1998
by and among the Company, RMI Subsidiary, Inc., Infohiway and Kenneth Covell,
John-Michael Keyes and Jeremy J. Black, the shareholders of Infohiway.
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 the Company, with and into
Infohiway. As a result of the merger, Infohiway became a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the shareholders
of Infohiway received an aggregate of 150,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock valued at $1,335,000. Substantially all of the purchase price has been
allocated to goodwill that will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a
five year life. Consolidated operations of the company would not have been
significantly different had the acquisition been made January 1, 1998.

NOTE 7 NOTES PAYABLE TO SHAREHOLDER
In August 1998, Douglas H. Hanson loaned $400,000 to the Company. The loan is
evidenced by a promissory note. The principal amount of the promissory note,
together with interest at the rate of 11% per annum, is payable in full on
January 18, 1999.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Certain information contained in this Form 10-QSB, including "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations",
contain forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements herein are
based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and
uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements are based on assumptions
include but are not limited to the ability of the Company to obtain
additional financing, the ability of the Company to successfully defend itself
in the pending ICC litigation, the ability of the Company to implement its
acquisition strategy and the success of that strategy, that the Company will
continue to design, market and provide successful new services, that
competitive conditions will not change materially, that demand for the
Company's services will continue to grow, that the Company will retain and
add qualified personnel, that the Company's forecasts will accurately
anticipate revenue growth and the costs of producing that growth, and that
there will be no material adverse change in the Company's business. In light
of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information
included in this Form 10-QSB, actual results could differ materially from the
forward-looking information contained in this Form 10-QSB.
As discussed in more detail in Recent Development section below, the Company
terminated a merger agreement on October 13, 1998 with ICC. Cost, expenses and
related fees associated with the terminated merger and the related proposed
financing is estimated to be between $3.8 million and 5.2 million, a portion of
which are in dispute and of which $2.7 million relates to a non-cash item
related to warrants issued by the Company. These costs were charged to expense
in the third quarter of 1998, which had an effect of an additional $.58 earning
per share loss for the quarter, net of these costs the earnings per share
loss for the third quarter 1998 was $.09.
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. The
interaction between various software and hardware platforms rely upon the date
coding system. As a result, many companies' software and computer systems may
need to be upgraded or replaced in order to function properly after the turn of
the century. The Company, its customers, and suppliers are reliant on computers
and related automated systems for daily business operations. Failure to achieve
at least a minimum level of Year 2000 systems compliance could have a material
adverse effect on the Company.
The Company has begun the process of identifying computer systems that could
be affected by the Year 2000 issue as it relates to the Company's internal
hardware and software, as well as third parties which provide the
Company goods or services. Three categories or general areas have been
identified for review and analysis.
(1) Systems providing customers services. These include hardware and
software systems that are used to provide services to the Company's
customers in the form of
Page 8
<PAGE>
Internet connectivity, e-mail servers, news servers, authentication
servers, etc. Hardware in the form of routers and switches are also
included in this area.
(2) Third party vendors providing critical services including circuits,
hardware, long distance and related products. These include telco
providers, suppliers of routers, modems, switches, etc.
(3) Critical internal systems that support the Company's administrative
systems for billing and collecting, general accounting systems,
computer networks, and communication systems.
The Company is in the planning and initial study phase of Year 2000 compliance
review and testing. In regards to Item (1) listed above the Company's critical
existing systems are no more than two and one-half years old and it is
anticipated that many of these systems will not have significant Year 2000
problems. These systems are in process of being inventoried and a systems
testing schedule is being developed. Due to the Company's continued growth, most
systems providing customer services are planned to be relocated to an expanded
network operations center. Concurrent to the relocation many of the critical
systems will be migrated to new hardware and software platforms to increase
reliability and capacities. All newly acquired hardware systems, operating
systems, and software are required to have vendor certification for Year 2000
compliance.
In regards to Item (2) above - third party products and services - the
Company's significant vendors are large public companies such as US West
Communications, ICG Group, Cisco, Lucent Technologies, Ascend Communications,
etc., that are all under SEC mandates to report their compliance in all
publicly filed documents. The Company will initiate a compliance review
program with these vendors during the first quarter of 1999 and will continue
to track progress of all critical vendors for compliance.
Item (3) above relates to internal systems for company administrative and
communications requirements. The Company is in the process of implementing new
billing and billing presentment systems during the first half of 1999. These
system vendors are required to certify Year 2000 compliance. Additionally, the
Company will test these systems for compliance during the implementation
processes. Internal computer networks and communications systems will be tested
in the first quarter of 1999 for compliance.
The costs to address the Year 2000 compliance issues have not been determined at
this time. Based on growth the Company plans to implement new hardware platforms
and software systems that should be Year 2000 compliant and therefore costs
specifically allocated to Year 2000 compliance may not be significant. Systems
testing and compliance reviews with third party services providers will incur
manpower and consultant costs.
The nature of the Company's business makes it dependent on computer hardware,
software, and operating systems that are susceptible to Year 2000 issues.
Failure to attain at least minimum levels of Year 2000 compliance would have a
material adverse effect on the Company's ability to deliver services.
The Company has not developed a contingency plan for dealing with Year 2000
risks at this time.
The Company's common stock is traded on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
In June 1998, the Company announced it had entered into a merger agreement to
acquire Internet Communications Corporation ("ICC"). The closing of the
acquisition was subject to various closing conditions, and the merger agreement
contained certain rights of termination. On October 13, 1998, the Company
announced that it terminated the merger agreement due to, among other things,
ICC's failure to satisfy certain obligations under the merger agreement. On
October 14, 1998, ICC filed a complaint against the Company in Denver District
Court claiming $30 million in damages and alleging, among other things, that the
Company had breached the merger agreement and had made certain
misrepresentations to ICC with respect to the merger transaction. The Company
believes ICC's claims to be without merit and intends to vigorously defend such
action and to assert counterclaims against ICC; however, there can be no
assurance that the Company will prevail in it's defense or counterclaims. The
Company is hopeful that it can resolve the dispute with ICC without the
necessity for a trial; however, there can be no assurance as to the Company's
ability in this regard. In the event that the dispute cannot be resolved
expeditiously, the Company expects that it would incur additional costs and
expenses as a result of the litigation and that the litigation may hamper the
Company's ability to obtain additional. As a result of the termination and the
related financing transactions which were not completed, the Company estimates
that it incurred cost, expenses and related fees between $3.8 million and $5.2
million, a portion of which are in dispute. Of this amount, approximately $2.7
million relates to a non-cash item related to warrants issued by the Company.
The Company does not currently have the ability to pay all such cost, fees and
expenses. The Company believes that it will be able to agree on a schedule for
payment of these cost, fees and expenses that is satisfactory to all parties;
however there can be no assurance the Company will be able to reach an agreement
with all parties regarding the payment of such cost, fees and expenses.
In September 1998, the Company entered into a Software License and Consulting
Services Agreement (the "Novazen Agreement") with Novazen Inc. ("Novazen") to
provide the Company proprietary billing software tailored to its business. As
consideration for the consulting services to be provided by Novazen, the Company
paid $100,000 in cash and issued to Novazen 25,000 share of its Common Stock.
Subsequent to the date of the Novazen Agreement, Kevin R. Loud, an officer of
the Company, purchased 38,000 shares of Novazen common stock for $1.60 per
share.
In September 1998, the Company entered into non-binding letters of intent to
acquire (i) all of the issued and outstanding capital sock of DataXchange
Network, Inc. ("DataXchange"), a Florida-based national internet backbone
provider, in exchange for up to 535,000 shares of the Company's common stock
and warrants to acquire up to 535,000 of the Company's common stock subject
to the achievement of certain financial performance objectives; (ii)
substantially all of the assets of Stonehenge Business Systems, Inc.
("Stonehenge"), an ISP located in Englewood, Colorado for approximately
$450,000 payable in the form of shares of the Company's Common Stock; and
(iii) substantially all of the assets which comprise the access and hosting
business of Unicom Communications, Inc. ("Unicom"), a Kansas-based ISP with
approximately 3,500 subscribers, for approximately $1,700,000 payable in the
form of shares of the Company's Common Stock. Additionally, the Company
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 $150,000 payable in cash and 171,250 shares of the
Company's Common Stock. Of the cash portion of the purchase price, $20,000
has been paid to the shareholders of Internet Now. 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.
In August 1998, Douglas H. Hanson loaned $400,000 to the Company for various
working capital needs and on October 20, 1998 he loaned another $400,000 for
working capital needs. Such loans have been consolidated and are evidenced by
one promissory note. The principal amount of the promissory note, together
with interest at the rate of 11% per annum, is payable in full 90 days after
October 20, 1998.

NATIONAL INTERNET PROVIDER Effective March 11, 1998, the Company entered into an
agreement with PSINet, Inc., whereby the Company obtains access to PSINet's
network to provide the Company's customers access to dialup and "switched"
network access in over 235 locations nationally. The agreement allows the
Company to expand service nationally to provide dial up and ISDN services in
each of the locations serviced by PSINet. Customers will receive technical
support, e-mail services, news services, etc., from the Company's servers,
providing a "private label" solution to the anticipated new customer base.
IP TELEPHONY The Company is expanding its communication services in order to
provide a more complete product offering to its customers. The Company has
announced its intent to provide long distance services using Internet Protocol
("IP") telephony at $0.07 per minute within the continental United States to
customers in Denver, Boulder, and Colorado Springs, Colorado areas.
COMPETITIVE LOCAL EXCHANGE CARRIER On April 22, 1998, The Public Utilities
Commission of the State of Colorado granted the request by Rocky Mountain
Broadband, Inc. to become a Competitive local exchange carrier ("C-LEC").
Tariffs have been filed and currently pending, the Company cannot offer
service until tariffs are approved, approvals are expected in November 1998.
The Company may experience fluctuations in operating results in the future
caused by various factors, some of which are outside of the Company's control,
including general economic conditions, specific economic conditions in the
Internet access industry, user demand for the Internet, capital expenditures and
other costs relating to the expansion of operations, the timing and number of
customer subscriptions, the introduction of new services by the Company or its
competitors, the mix of services sold and the mix of distribution channels
through which those services are sold. In addition, the Company's expenses,
including but not limited to obligations under equipment leases, facilities
leases, telephone access lines, and Internet access are relatively fixed in the
short term, and therefore variations in the timing and amount of revenues could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1998
The Company's revenues grew 62% from $1,582,400 to $2,565,300 for the three
months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the comparable period in 1997.
Revenue growth performance is attributable to increasing size of the sales force
and segmenting the sales team by product group.

DIAL-UP SERVICE
The Company experienced a 40% revenue increase in dial-up service from the third
quarter of 1997 as compared to the third quarter of 1998 from $568,700 to
$796,800. The increase is due to the establishment and growth of a dial-up sales
department in 1998.
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,
DS-1 (1.54 Mbps) frame relay connections, point to point connections, and DS-3
(45 Mbps) or fractional DS-3 connections. The Company 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 the Company's
connection.
Dedicated access service business has grown based principally on ISDN and high
speed circuits (56K, DS-1, and DS-3) growth. ISDN sales have grown from $177,800
to $234,200 from the third quarter of 1997 to the third quarter of 1998 for an
increase of 32%, while sales of high speed circuits services have increased from
$240,700 to $449,400 for the same periods, for an increase of 87%.
WEB SERVICES
Web services revenues are 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 Company's servers. The advantage to customers is high speed
access to sites by their targeted audiences.
Web site hosting accounted for $122,500 of revenue in the third quarter of 1997
and $163,300 in the third quarter of 1998 for an increase of 33%.
Web site production increased from $189,800 for third quarter 1997 to $432,900
for third quarter 1998, for an increase of 128%. The increase in web services
revenue is primarily due to the acquisition of Applications Methods, which
accounted for $207,800 or 48% of the web production revenue during the quarter.
The Company added a new service, web site marketing, to customers in late 1997.
For the third quarter of 1998, revenues of $16,900 were recognized for this
service. Web site marketing offers the customer a service wherein the Company
optimizes the connection between a search engine and a customer's site. The
connection is based on queries by selected key words. This service is intended
to result in a significant increase in the level of traffic for a web site.

OTHER REVENUE
Other revenue includes training revenue ($4,000 decreased to $1,700), and
consulting ($11,400 decreased to $2,000). The reduction in consulting revenue
occurred due to a large consulting contract in the first Nine Months of 1997
which was concluded and no similar consulting arrangement occurred in the
first Nine Months of 1998. Other revenue also includes sales from the
Information Exchange L.L.C., a voice messaging subsidiary which (decreased
from $25,400 to $24,700). The Information Exchange L.L.C. was acquired in a
stock transaction in late 1996. IP Telephony and long distance services
generated $2,700 and $3,300 respectively in revenue for the three months
ended September 30, 1998; these services were not available in 1997.
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit consists of total revenue less the cost of delivering services
and equipment. The gross profit from Internet access and services was 78% of
revenues from that segment for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and
71% for the same period in 1998. Gross profits on equipment sales increased
from 25% for three months ended September 30, 1997 to 28% for the same period
in 1998. Sale of equipment is provided as an accommodation to the Company's
customers and the gross profit margin may vary considerably based on the mix
of products sold.
SELLING, GENERAL, AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general, and administrative expenses ("S G & A") increased from
approximately $1,830,800 in the third quarter of 1997 to approximately
$2,552,100 in the third quarter of 1998 or an increase of 39%.
Payroll costs and benefits increased 43% from $961,600 to $1,372,200 for the
three months periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
Sales and marketing expenses, consisting of advertising, promotion, attendance
at trade shows, printing, and finders fees, decreased from $66,000 for three
months ending September 30, 1997 to $55,000 for the same period in 1998, for a
decrease of 17%.
Facilities rent expense increased by 13% from $107,000 to $120,700 for the third
quarter of 1997 to the third quarter 1998. The Company has headquarters in
downtown Denver, Colorado with additional office facilities in Colorado Springs,
Colorado and Seattle, Washington.
The Company experienced an increase in communications expense from $54,100 for
the quarter ended September 30, 1997 to $71,300 for the quarter ended September
30, 1998, or an increase of 32%. These expenses included local telephone
service, cellular phones and pager costs and long distance telephone expenses.
The Company uses multiple "800" phone numbers to provide technical support,
customer support, and sales order processing to its growing base of customers.
Outside services, which includes "temporary to hire" staff and professional
services decreased 18% from $214,800 to $175,700 from the third quarter of 1997
to the same period in 1998. The Company 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 Company employee.
Other operating expense increased from $119,500 to $4,551,800 from the three
months ended 1997 to the nine months ended 1998. The increase is due to the
recognition of previous deferred acquisition cost, associated with the ICC
acquisition and the associated financing, which terminated in the three
months ended September 1998 in the amount of 4,551,800. Of this amount
$2,765,200 is a non-cash item related to warrants issued by the Company for
commitment fees.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND 1998
The Company's revenues grew 47% from $4,431,800 to $6,506,400 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the comparable period in 1997.
Revenue growth performance is attributable to increasing size of the sales force
and segmenting the sales team by product group.
Dial-Up Service
Revenues increased from $1,735,400 to $2,055,000 or 18% from the nine months
ending September 30, 1997 to the nine months ending September 30, 1998. Dial-up
customer count increased from 9,300 to 15,300 or 64% from the nine months ending
September 30, 1997 to the nine months ending September 30, 1998. As a result of
the re-structure of the dial-up product, the Company experienced a reduction in
revenue growth while making greater gains in its customer base.
Dedicated Access Service
The Company assigned a direct sales team for dedicated access service and
with that focus has received the benefit of higher revenue growth. As a
result, dedicated access service business has grown based principally on ISDN
and High Speed circuit growth. ISDN sales have grown from $436,000 to
$669,600 from the first three quarters of 1997 to the first three quarters of
1998 for an increase of 54%, while sales of high speed circuits services have
increased from $627,700 to $1,153,300 for the same periods for an increase of
84%.
Web Services
Web site hosting accounted for $316,400 of revenue in the nine months ending
September 30 1997 and $455,300 for the same period in 1998 for an increase of
44%. 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 $437,200 to $770,000 or 76% for the first
nine months of 1997 as compared to the same period in 1998. The growth in web
hosting business demand, plus the focus of the Company's direct sales force and
the acquisition of Applications Methods helped to drive this part of the
business.
Other Services
Other revenue includes training revenue ($20,900 decreased to $10,700),
consulting ($132,900 decreased to $15,100) and sales from the Information
Exchange L.L.C. ($89,000 decreased to $78,500). IP Telephony and long distance
services generated $3,100 and 3,300 respectively in revenue for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998; these services were not available in 1997.

equipment. The gross profit (exclusive of equipment sales) was 65% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 and 67% for the same period in 1998. Gross
profits on equipment sales were 21% and 22% for the nine months ending September
30, 1997 and 1998, respectively. Sale of equipment is provided as an

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses ("S G & A") increased from
$5,451,600 in the nine months ended 1997 to $7,030,300 in the nine months ended
1998 or 29%. Exclusive of option compensation expense, discussed in the
following paragraph, S G & A increased 22% from the nine months ended 1997 to
the nine months ended 1998. Significant items are discussed below.
Compensation and related personnel costs and benefits increased 28% from
$3,003,800 to $3,836,600 for the nine months ended 1997 and 1998,
respectively. Payroll costs included a non-cash charge to compensation for
the first quarter of 1998 in the amount of $383,100 for the exercise of
employee stock options. Exclusive of this amount, payroll costs and related
benefits increased 15%.

at trade shows, printing, and finders fees, decreased from $195,300 for the nine
months ending 1997 to $136,200 for the same period in 1998 for a decrease of
30%.
Facilities rent expense decreased by 3% from $332,200 to $342,665 for the nine
months ended 1997 to the nine months ended 1998. The Company has headquarters in

These expenses included local telephone service, cellular phones and pager costs
and long distance telephone expenses. The Company 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 $162,100 in the nine months ended
1997 to $372,800 in the nine months ended 1998 or an increase of 130%. This
increase resulted from legal and accounting work required in preparation of the
Company's proxy statement for the Shareholder meeting held on March 12, 1998,
legal work in the preparation of a registration statement on Form S-1, which is
discussed elsewhere in this document, legal expense incurred in relation to the
lawsuit referenced in Part II, Item 1 of this document, and due diligence work
performed in regards to potential acquisitions.
Other outside services, which includes temporary to hire staff and professional
services, increased 14% from $368,200 to $418,100 from the nine months ended
1997 to the same period in 1998. The Company 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 Company employee.
Other operating expense increased from $453,629 to $4,549,300 from the nine
months ended 1997 to the nine months ended 1998. The increase is due to the
recognition of previous deferred acquisition cost, associated with the ICC
acquisition and the associated financing, which terminated in the nine months
ended September 1998 in the amount of 4,551,800. Of this amount $2,765,200 is
a non-cash related to warrants issued by the Company for commitment fees.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
In addition to the October 1, 1997 investment of $2,398,600 by Mr. Hanson, he
invested an additional $503,600 in March 1998 by exercising purchased warrants
and options that were granted in October 1997, at the time of his initial
investment.
On July 20, 1998, July 24,1998 and November 6, 1998, the Company filed with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission separate amendments to a registration
statement on Form S-1 (originally filed on May 15,1998) in order to register the
shares underlying the warrants issued during the Company's initial public
offering on September 5, 1996 along with other securities which the company has
committed to register under various agreements. The Warrants are currently
traded on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the symbol "RMIIW." Upon the
effectiveness of this registration statement, and related "Blue Sky" filings
with various states, the Company will have the right to call 1,365,000 warrants
for $0.25 each, and the warrant holder will have a thirty day period to exercise
the warrant at a price of $3.07 per underlying share. 1,942,336 common shares
are underlying the warrants. If all of the shares underlying these Warrants are
exercised, the Company would realize proceeds of approximately $5,670,000. The
Company has not announced plans to call these Warrants, but may elect to do so
upon the completion of the registration statement and as funds are needed.
The Company terminated a merger agreement on October 13, 1998 with ICC. Cost,
expenses and related fees associated with the terminated merger and the
related proposed financing is estimated to be between $3.8 million and 5.2
million, a portion of which are in dispute and of which $2.7 million relates
to a non-cash item related to warrants issued by the Company. These costs
were charged to expense in the third quarter of 1998, which had an effect of
an additional $.58 earning per share loss. The Company does not currently
have the ability to pay all such cost, fees and expenses. The Company
believes that it will be able to agree on a schedule for payment of these
cost, fees and expenses that is satisfactory to all parties; however there
can be no assurance the Company will be able to reach an agreement with all
parties regarding the payment of such cost, fees and expenses. The Company is
seeking additional financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will
be able to obtain the additional financing it currently needs to satisfy its
current obligations and execute its business plan.
In August 1998, Douglas H. Hanson loaned $400,000 to the Company for various
working capital needs and on October 20, 1998 he loaned another $400,000 for
working capital needs. Such loans have been consolidated and are evidenced by
one promissory note. The principal amount of the promissory note, together with
interest at the rate of 11% per annum, is payable in full 90 days after October
20, 1998.
RMI is an Internet Service Provider ("ISP") with a high growth rate (as
discussed elsewhere in this document). The Company's growth is dependent on
continuing to build a strong infrastructure and hiring quality sales, technical,
and administrative personnel. In order to build the infrastructure and acquire
the human resources needed to maintain a high growth rate, the Company has
operated with a negative cash flow from operations during 1996 and 1997. The
Company's cash requirements are relatively fixed for the near term and the
Company expects to continue to improve operating cash flow if revenue continues
to increase according to expectations without any significant cost increases.
Should revenues not continue to increase according to expectations, the Company
must seek, and is seeking, additional financing to fund operating losses or
implement reductions in operating expenses. Reductions in operating expenses, if
effected, could adversely affect revenues and therefore not result in the
expected increase in cash flow. The Company does not currently have access to
additional bank financing and therefore financing would have to result from
additional issuances of equity or other additional debt securities.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In June 1998, the Company announced it had entered into a merger agreement to
acquire Internet Communications Corporation ("ICC"). The closing of the merger
was subject to various
Page 16
<PAGE>
closing conditions and the merger agreement contained certain rights of
termination. On October 13, 1998, the Company announced that it terminated
the merger agreement due to, among other things, ICC's failure to satisfy
certain obligations under the merger agreement. On October 14, 1998, ICC
filed a complaint against the Company in Denver District Court claiming $30
million in damages and alleging, among other things, that Company had
breached the merger agreement and had made certain misrepresentations to ICC
with respect to the merger transaction. The Company believes ICC's claims to
be without merit and intends to vigorously defend such action and to assert
counterclaims against ICC, however, there can be no assurance that the
Company will prevail in its defense or any counterclaims. The Company is
hopeful that it can resolve the dispute with ICC without the necessity for a
trial; however, there can be no assurance as to the Company's abiliity in
this regard. In the event that the dispute cannot be resolved expeditiously,
the Company expects that it would incur additional costs and expenses as a
result of the litigation and that the litigation may hamper the Company's
ability to obtain additional financing.
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES
The Company filed a Form S-1 Registration Statement with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission on May 15, 1998 and amended the filing on July 20,
July 24, 1998 and November 6, 1998, requesting the registration of Common
Stock underlying the warrants issued during the Initial Public Offering of
September 5, 1996 along with other securities, including securities for which
the Company has committed to register under various agreements, securities
for various acquisitions and other securities. The warrants are currently
traded on the Nasdaq stock exchange under the symbol "RMIIW". Upon the
successful completion of this registration, the Company will have the right
to call 1,365,000 warrants for redemption for $0.25 each, and the warrant
holder will have a thirty day period to exercise the warrants at an exercise
price of $3.07 per underlying share. 1,942,336 common shares are underlying
the warrants.
