NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1    REPRESENTATION OF MANAGEMENT

The interim financial data are unaudited; however, in the opinion of 
management, the interim data include all adjustments, consisting only of 
normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results 
for the interim periods.  The financial statements included herein have been 
prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the 
Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote 
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance 
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted 
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that 
the disclosures included herein are adequate to make the information 
presented not misleading.

NOTE 2    EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Earnings per Share calculation is based on average shares outstanding of 
7,073,479 for the six months ended June 30, 1998.  All stock options and 
warrants are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share, as 
they would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings (loss) per share. In 
accordance with FASB 128 earnings per share for prior periods have been 
restated in these financial statements.

NOTE 3    INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED SHARES

A stockholders' meeting was held on March 12, 1998.  At this time the 
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 5    APPROVAL OF 401K PLAN

The Board of Directors has approved a 401(k) Savings and Retirement Plan that 
will cover substantially all employees effective January 16, 1998.  The

NOTE 6    ACQUISITIONS

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. 

                                  Page 6
<PAGE>

     Net Loss                 $ (1,976,000)
     Net Loss per share       $       (.28)

The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what would have 
occurred had the acquisition been on these dates, nor are they necessary 
indicative of future operations.

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 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.  

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.  The Company and third parties with which the Company does 
business rely on numerous computer programs in their day to day operations.  
The Company has begun the process of identifying computer systems that could 
be affected by the Year 2000 issue but has not estimated the costs of 
addressing the Year 2000 issue as it relates to the Company's internal 
hardware and software, as well as third party computer systems with which the 
Company interacts.  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 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 could have a significant adverse impact on the 
Company's business, operating results, financial condition, and cash flow.

The Company's common stock is traded on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.

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").

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. 

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 June 30, 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 $177 million of indebtedness 
outstanding (including capital lease obligation).  The degree to which the 
Company is leveraged could have important consequences to shareholders, 
including the following: (la) a substantial portion of the Company's cash 
flow will be dedicated to payment of the interest on its indebtedness, 
thereby reducing available funds for other purposes; (ii) the Company's 
significant degree of leverage could increase it's 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 the 
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 it's competitors, which may be 
a competitive disadvantage.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1998

The Company's revenues grew 49% from $1,452,400 to $2,161,800 for the three 
months ended June 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 21% revenue increase in dial-up service and at the 
same time decreased its offering price per customer, from the second quarter 
of 1997 as compared to the second quarter of 1998 from $571,000 to $692,900. 
The increase is due to the establishment 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 
$150,300 to $225,400 from the second quarter of 1997 to the second quarter of 
1998 for an increase of 50%, while sales of high speed circuits services have 
increased from $211,500 to $390,700 for the same periods, for an increase of 
85%.

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 $114,700 of revenue in the second quarter of 
1997 and $161,100 in the second quarter of 1998 for an increase of 40%.   

Web site production increased from $136,700 for second quarter 1997 to 
$197,700 for second quarter 1998, for an increase of 45%. 

The Company added a new service, web site marketing, to customers in late 
1997. For the second quarter of 1998, revenues of $31,800 were recognized for 
this service.  Web site marketing offers the customer a service wherein the 
Company optimizes the position in web search engines for a customer's site 
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 ($9,000 decreased to $4,400), and 
consulting ($12,200 decreased to $9,100). The reduction in consulting revenue 
occurred due to a large consulting contract in the first six months of 1997 
which was concluded and no similar consulting arrangement occurred in the 
first six months of 1998.  Other revenue also includes sales from the 
Information Exchange L.L.C., a voice messaging subsidiary which (decreased 
from $27,200 to $27,100).  The Information Exchange L.L.C. was acquired in a 
stock transaction in late 1996. IP Telephony also generated $400 in revenue 
for the three months ended June 30.1998, this service was 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 63% of 
revenues from that segment for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 69% 
for the same period in 1998. Gross profits on equipment sales decreased to 
19% for three months ended June 30, 1997 from 22% 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 $1,909,000 in the second quarter of 1997 to approximately 
$2,023,800 in the second quarter of 1998 or an increase of 6%.

Payroll costs and benefits decreased 8% from $1,084,300 to $998,600 for the 
three months periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1998, respectively. 

Sales and marketing expenses, consisting of advertising, promotion, 
attendance at trade shows, printing, and finders fees, decreased from $81,600 
for three months ending June 30, 1997 to $31,900 for the same period in 1998, 
for a decrease of 61%. 

Facilities rent expense decreased by 6% from $115,600 to $109,100 for the 
second quarter of 1997 to the second quarter 1998.  The Company has 
headquarters in downtown Denver, Colorado with additional office facilities 
in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

The Company experienced a decrease in communications expense from $72,900 for 
the quarter ended June 30, 1997 to $60,100 for the quarter ended June 30, 
1998, or a decrease of 18%.  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 $51,400 in the second quarter of 
1997 to $163,400 in the second quarter of 1998 or an increase of 218%.  This 
increase resulted from 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 work performed in connection with acquisitions.

Outside services, which includes temporary to hire staff and professional 
services increased 51% from $97,000 to $147,000 from the second 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.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1998

The Company's revenues grew 38% from $2,849,400 to $3,941,000 for the six 
months ended June 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 $1,166,700 to $1,258,200 or 8% from the six months 
ending June 30, 1997 to the six months ending June 30, 1998. Dial-up customer 
count increased from 10,300 to 13,600 or 32% from the six months ending June 
30, 1997 to the six months ending June 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 $258,200 to 
$435,400 from the first half of 1997 to the first half of 1998 for an 
increase of 69%, while sales of high speed circuits services have increased 
from $387,000 to $717,000 for the same periods for an increase of 85%.

Web Services

Web site hosting accounted for $218,300 of revenue in the six months ending 
June 30 1997 and $298,800 for the same period in 1998 for an increase of 37%. 
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 $249,600 to $330,400 or 32% for the first 
six months of 1997 as compared to the same period in 1998.  The growth in web 
hosting business plus the activities of the Company's direct sales force 
helped to drive this part of the business.

consulting ($121,500 decreased to $13,300) and sales from the Information 
Exchange L.L.C. ($64,000 decreased to $53,400). IP Telephony generated $400

attendance at trade shows, printing, and finders fees, decreased from

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

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.

The company currently intends, subject to market and other conditions, 
including the prior consummation of the ICC Acquisition, to complete a 
Private Placement Offering to raise approximately $175.0 million in a private 
placement of high yield securities pursuant to Rule 144A.  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 of 1933 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. 

On July 20, 1998 and July 24,1998, 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 has received a loan commitment from Phoenix Leasing Incorporated 
wherein the Company will have available a financing line available for 
acquisition of fixed assets in the amount of $352,000 to be used in four 
increments of $88,000.  The financing will be secured by the assets purchased 
and by an Equipment Loan Bond provided by Amwest Surety Insurance Company.  
The Company has submitted the appropriate paperwork to draw 3 of the funding 
increments. Funding is expected by August 30, 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 may have to seek 
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 should the Company not conclude its private placement 
offering of $175 million, financing would have to result from 
additional issuances of equity or debt securities.
