                CAUTIONARY NOTE ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

         This Annual Report on Form 10-K and the information incorporated by
reference may include "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. In particular, we
direct your attention to Item 1. Business, Item 2. Properties, Item 3. Legal
Proceedings, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operation, and Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
About Market Risk, and Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. We
intend the forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor
provisions for forward-looking statements in these sections. All statements
regarding our expected financial position and operating results, our business
strategy, our financing plans and the outcome of any contingencies are
forward-looking statements. These statements can sometimes be identified by our
use of forward-looking words such as "may," "believe," "plan," "will,"
"anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "intend", and other phrases of similar
meaning. Known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors could cause
the actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the
statements. The forward-looking information is based on various factors and was
derived using numerous assumptions.

         Although we believe that our expectations that are expressed in these
forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot promise that our
expectations will turn out to be correct. Our actual results could be materially
different from our expectations, including the following:

         o  we may lose customers or fail to grow our customer base;

         o  we may not be able to sustain our current growth or to successfully
            integrate new customers or assets obtained through acquisitions;

         o  we may fail to compete with existing and new competitors;

         o  we may not adequately respond to technological developments
            impacting the Internet;

         o  we may fail to implement proper security measures to protect our
            network from inappropriate use, which could overload our network's
            capacity and cause us to experience a major system failure;

         o  we may issue a substantial number of shares of our common stock upon
            exercise of Class B Warrants, especially if the market value of our
            common stock declines, thereby causing significant dilution in the
            value of your investment;

         o  we may fail to settle outstanding litigation; and

         o  we may not be able to obtain needed financing.

This list is intended to identify some of the principal factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking
statements included elsewhere in this report. These factors are not intended to
represent a complete list of all risks and uncertainties inherent in our
business, and should be read in conjunction with the more detailed cautionary
statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K under the caption "Item
1. Business - Risk Factors," our other Securities and Exchange Commission
filings, and our press releases.

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

PROFILE OF RMI.NET AND RECENT ACQUISITIONS

         RMI.NET began offering Internet access services in 1994 and has grown
from a regional Internet service provider into a premier nationwide e-Commerce,
Web Solutions, and communications services provider for small and medium-sized
business enterprises, as well as dial-up residential customers and DSL
customers. We monitor and control our network through our Network Operations
Center in Denver, Colorado. Through our nationwide network of owned and leased
dial-up access sites, or "POPs" (points of presence), customers are able to
access the Internet in 100% of the strategic marketing areas in the United
States via a local telephone call. Our current customer base has grown to
approximately 8,000 business customers and over 100,000 dial-up customers. We
offer our customers access to value-added Web services, including:

         o  Web site hosting, production, marketing, and training;

         o  a Web Portal constructed to provide multiple services, including an
            online search engine with a large reference database, an audio feed,
            a stock quote service, and additional content; and

         o  several e-Commerce products and services.

We have accomplished our growth, in part, by acquiring all of the outstanding
common stock or substantially all of the assets of the following 22 companies
since June of 1998:

         On March 17, 2000, we entered into definitive agreements to acquire all
of the outstanding common stock of Internet Communications Corp., a
telecommunications and network communications company, headquartered near Denver
in Greenwood Village, Colorado.

         Our executive offices are located at 999 Eighteenth Street, North
Tower, Suite 2201, Denver, Colorado 80202 and our telephone number at that
address is (303) 672-0700. We also maintain an Internet site on the World Wide
Web at http://www.rmi.net. Information contained on our Web site is not, and
should not be deemed to be, a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

         THE INTERNET SERVICES MARKET

         GROWTH OF THE INTERNET. The Internet has emerged as a significant
global communications medium, enabling millions of people to communicate,
publish and retrieve information, and conduct business electronically.
Regardless of the hardware and software used, Internet Protocol or "IP" enables
Internet communication by providing a common inter-networking standard. Internet
use worldwide is expected to increase due to better public awareness, lower
prices for access devices, increased functionality, and improving content.
According to the Computer Industry Almanac, the number of worldwide users
accessing the World Wide Web will increase to approximately 765 million by the
end of 2005, up from 259 million users at the end of 1999.

         ROLE OF THE INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER (ISP). Internet access services
are the means by which ISPs interconnect either businesses or individual
consumers to the Internet's resources or to corporate intranets and extranets.
Access services include dial-up access for individuals and small businesses and
high-speed dedicated access designed primarily for mid-sized and larger
organizations. In addition to Internet access services, an increasing number of
Internet users are taking advantage of value-added services, such as Web hosting
and Web page design. We believe that value-added services, such as those
included in RMI.NET's business service offerings, are among the fastest growing
segments of the ISP marketplace.

         The rapid development and growth of the Internet has resulted in a
highly fragmented industry of over 7,000 national and local ISPs in the U.S.
ISPs vary widely in geographic coverage, customer focus, and levels of Internet
access provided to customers. For example, access providers may concentrate on
certain types of customers (such as businesses or individuals) that differ
substantially in the type of service and support required by the relevant
customer constituency. Often, large national ISPs do not offer individual
customers the level of support desired and many smaller regional ISPs do not
have the resources necessary to offer adequate customer support. We intend to
fill this void. Because user-friendly software and responsive customer service
and technical support are the foundation of our business, we believe that
RMI.NET is poised to capitalize on the growth in the Internet access and
Internet services segments of the telecommunications market.

         INTERNET USERS AND THEIR GROWING NEEDS. RMI.NET focuses on the small to
medium-sized business segment of the Internet marketplace. We believe that the
demand for Internet service in our target customer markets will grow
substantially from current levels. In addition to demographic and economic
trends driving the growth of the Internet market, small to medium-sized business
markets are expanding as a function of falling access costs, lower prices for
access devices, more simplified operational procedures, and improved content.

         Users currently accessing the Internet do so primarily by means of
dial-up services. Access to the Internet using dial-up services requires the
user to have access to a local telephone line, the use of a modem, and an ISP
account, such an RMI.NET account. However, new ways of connecting to the
Internet are becoming more common, particularly those that take advantage of
higher speed and broader bandwidth capacity. In addition, the Web hosting market
represents a rapidly growing area of the Internet marketplace. Web hosting
enables individuals and businesses to increase their presence on the World Wide
Web by creating a Web site, which is "hosted" by companies like RMI.NET, without
the responsibility or expense associated with maintaining a Web server or
high-speed Internet connection. We believe that services relating to e-Commerce,
which is the means by which businesses offer and sell their services and
products over the Internet, will be an important outgrowth of Web hosting
services.

         TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY. Since the passage of the
Telecommunications Act of 1996, the market for long distance and local telephone
services has become much more competitive. Driven by both competitive pressures
and the convergence of voice and data networks, major long distance providers
have sought to enhance their competitive position and gain access to local and
cable markets. This trend is evidenced by AT&T's acquisitions of Teleport
Communications Group, TCI, and MediaOne, and WorldCom's mergers with MFS, Brooks
Fiber Properties, MCI, and Sprint.

         We intend to provide traditional long distance and local telephone
service, as well as other communications services, in order to position
ourselves as a single source supplier for all the communication needs of the
customer. In April 1998, the Public Utilities Commission of Colorado granted the
request of Rocky Mountain Broadband, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, to
become a competitive local exchange carrier or "CLEC." Rocky Mountain Broadband
has since received approval to become a CLEC from California, Illinois, Kansas,
Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Washington,
and West Virginia. Our intention is to provide CLEC services, as well as to
become a certified inter-exchange carrier ("IXC") providing long distance access
throughout the nation.

RMI.NET'S STRATEGY

         Our mission is to become a premier nationwide e-Commerce and
communications services provider, distinguished by a state-of-the-art network
and high quality customer service and support. Key elements to our business
strategy include the following.

         PROVIDE A BROAD ARRAY OF WEB SOLUTIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES TO
OUR CUSTOMERS. We have built a portfolio of products, services, and skill sets
to develop and deliver comprehensive Internet communications solutions to both
business and residential customers. These products and services are organized
under two divisions: Communication Services and Web Solutions. Based on our
belief that a growing number of businesses and consumers will demand that one
company provide all of their communications needs, we plan to continue to add
products and services to our portfolio. We refer to our strategy as a "One
Point-of-Contact" service delivery model. We believe that our model ensures:

         o  high-performance, cost-effective network planning, design, and
            implementation;
         o  maintenance of a single point of responsibility; and
         o  ongoing customer relationships as a technology partner for
            communications applications.

         PROVIDE SUPERIOR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT. Our customer
service philosophy is to understand our customers' needs so well that we may
deliver a very high level of value-added services and after-sales support. We
believe 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, we have developed a
comprehensive strategy to attain maximum customer satisfaction. This strategy
consists of the following elements:

         o  maintaining a sufficient number of qualified service and technical
            support personnel through proactive recruitment, retention, and
            training programs;
         o  utilizing our extranet to provide real-time, interactive customer
            service;
         o  developing an online billing system enabling customer-controlled
            account customization and analysis; and
         o  improving our service delivery standards and guarantees.

We continually monitor our customer service strategy through customer
satisfaction surveys. Approximately 150 employees, consisting of engineers,
technicians, project managers, account managers, and customer service
representatives, are responsible for supporting our customers.


                                       3

         MAXIMIZE NETWORK UTILIZATION. Through our network and agreements with
third-party providers, we provide Internet access to 100% of the strategic
marketing areas in the United States. We plan to continue to selectively add
POPs where we can add value for the customers. Historically, the ISP industry
has been divided between ISPs focused on business customers and ISPs focused on
residential dial-up customers. Our business strategy is to maximize network
utilization 24 hours a day by targeting both daytime business users and
evening-intensive residential users. In addition, we operate a national fully
meshed Internet backbone, linking eight U.S. cities - Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas,
Los Angeles, McLean (Virginia), New York, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.
and offering service from ten cities - Bloomington (Illinois), Chicago, Kansas
City, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Francisco, Seattle, Tulsa, and

         SELECTIVELY TARGET KEY CITIES TO EXPAND NATIONWIDE. We plan to expand
our sales efforts nationally by targeting areas where there are favorable
demographics and a large concentration of businesses. We plan to emphasize
markets where we have existing facilities and to actively pursue business
connectivity and e-Commerce applications.

         TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SIGNIFICANT CONSOLIDATION AND ACQUISITION
OPPORTUNITIES. We believe that the Internet industry is undergoing structural
changes with an increasing use of the Internet for mission-critical
applications. These changes create demand for high quality network operations,
customer service, and technical support. We also believe that there is a market
opportunity to consolidate ISPs, Internet-based service companies, and Internet
technologies. To exploit this opportunity, we acquired all of the outstanding
common stock or substantially all of the assets of the following companies in
1999:

         o  Aces Research - Internet dedicated access provider serving business
            customers in Arizona

         o  AIS Network Corporation - a premier network integrator and Web site
            development company, serving business customers nationwide

         o  Colorado Mountain Net - Internet service provider serving Northwest
            Colorado

         o  CommerceGate - a Seattle-based Internet e-Commerce software
            development and consulting services firm, focusing on
            business-to-business Internet commerce applications

         o  Cyberdesic - Internet service provider serving customers in Central
            Illinois

         o  Dave's World - a full-service Internet communications solutions
            provider serving customers in Central Illinois

         o  Ideal Dial - an enhanced telecommunications provider serving
            customers nationwide

         o  Internet Connect - Internet service provider serving customers in
            Utah

         o  Net One Communications - Web hosting provider, serving customers in
            Denver, Colorado

         o  Networld.com - provider of dial-up, dedicated, and Web hosting
            services to customers in Arizona

         o  Novo Media Group - Web hosting and dedicated access service
            provider, serving business customers in the San Francisco Bay area

         o  ServerCom - Internet service provider serving customers in Central
            Illinois

         o  Sterling Online Services - Internet service provider and Web
            hosting, serving customers in Colorado

         o  Western Regional Networks - provides Internet Access, Web hosting
            and design, and e-Commerce solutions to customers in Colorado


                                       4

         o  Webzone - Internet service provider serving customers in Oklahoma

         o  Wolfe Internet Access - a full-service Internet commerce and
            communications service provider serving customers in the Pacific
            Northwest

On March 17, 2000, the Company entered into definitive agreements to acquire
Internet Communications Corp. ("ICC"), a company that is traded on the Nasdaq
National Market under the symbol "INCC." The acquisition is subject to approval
by the shareholders of ICC. ICC is a telecommunications integration and network
services company that specializes in the design, implementation, maintenance,
and monitoring of premise and network-based communications for wide-area
networks. ICC is headquartered near Denver in Greenwood Village, Colorado and
markets its products and services to Colorado based businesses. Subject to
certain conditions, and based on a market value of $10.00 per share of the
Company's common stock, the Company has agreed to issue approximately 2.8
million shares of common stock to ICC's shareholders, valued at approximately
$28 million as of March 17, 2000, and warrants to purchase approximately 3.1
million shares of common stock at $11.50 per share, in exchange for their common
stock of ICC.

         We believe these acquisitions enhance our position as a full service
provider of e-Commerce and communications solutions. We will continue to
evaluate opportunities to acquire companies that we believe will enhance our
product and service offerings, particularly larger companies with annual
revenues in excess of $20 million. To maximize economies of scale, we intend to
coordinate our national growth effort by acquiring additional local ISPs in
strategic locations.

</TABLE>

OUR WEB SOLUTIONS DIVISION

         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, which are sometimes referred to as extranets or
intranets. The functionality of these sites will continue to evolve and require
a great deal of graphic design talent as well as high end programming skills.

         WEB SITE HOSTING. Web site hosting provides ongoing revenue from
customers for whom we host a Web site on Web servers located in our data center.
All access made to these Web sites by the customer and the Internet community as
a whole is processed on our servers. The advantage to customers is high-speed
access to sites by their targeted audiences. Prices for Web site hosting
generally consist of $99 per month for virtual hosting service and $49 per month
for static hosting services. There is also a one-time set-up fee of
approximately $99 for virtual hosting and $49 for static hosting.

         INFOHIWAY/PORTAL. This is a Web Portal constructed to provide multiple
services, including:

         o  a search engine that contains a large and rapidly growing database
            of reference information on the World Wide Web;

         o  an audio feed;

         o  a stock quote service; and

         o  additional content.

The search engine also contains certain features, including:

         o  Preview buttons - which permit users to see a site's content without
            waiting for a full download of all the site's graphics;

         o  Fuzzy Links - which provide visitors with a handy way to search for
            related but perhaps not specifically targeted information; and

                                       6
<PAGE>   10

         o  Site Mapping - which provides a simple and visual way to see a
            site's structure.

Finally, the Infohiway Portal also contains the ability to host numerous banner
advertisements, which we may sell to our customers as part of a Web marketing
package.

         E-COMMERCE OR E-SELL. We provide turnkey software package solutions for
e-Commerce. Small to medium-sized businesses can sell their products and
services over the Internet, thereby reaching customers that are not
geographically accessible. Rather than simply offering a Web site, our
e-Commerce customers can act as a true Internet store, providing:

         o  a dynamic, interactive shopping experience for the customer;

         o  secure credit card transactions;

         o  "behind the scenes" functionality, such as inventory management and
            custom reporting; and

         o  fast, efficient, and low-cost 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 additional "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. Furthermore, e-SELL is scalable and
expandable 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 SITE MARKETING. Our sales and marketing department has developed an
advertising program that is designed to increase traffic and viewing of customer
Web sites. We believe that our Web site marketing program will blend well with
our other Web solution products.

         TRAFFIC BUILDER PLUS. This is an Internet 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 news groups, and
customizing banner ad campaigns. The pricing for this service varies
dramatically based on a customer's budget and desired results.

         WEB TRAINING. We also provide a training program available for all our
customers. Customers can schedule their employees for various levels of Internet
training, ranging from basic access training to HTML programming. We have a
state-of-the-art training center in our office headquarters with multiple
workstations for interested customers. Customized, one-on-one training is also
available, either at our headquarters or at the customer's site.

         CO-LOCATION. As more people use the Internet to shop for products and
services, the demands on shared server resources are increasing. We offer
businesses an alternative to shared server resources by co-locating their
servers in our data center. Our business data center provides redundant
connections to the Internet through our Tier 1 backbone, redundant power
supplies, video monitoring, tape backups, locking cabinets, and 24 by 7 network
monitoring, customer service and support, providing customers with a
cost-effective alternative to maintaining their own server.

OUR COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES DIVISION

         INTERNET ACCESS. We provide nationwide Internet services through more
than 50 Internet POPs and, through agreements with third party providers, in
100% of the strategic marketing areas in the United States.

         DEDICATED ACCESS SERVICE. Dedicated access services are provided
primarily to commercial customers. They include a wide range of connectivity
options tailored to the needs of the customer. These services include a private
port or dedicated modem, ISDN connections, 56 kbps frame-relay connections, T-1
(1.54 Mbps) connections, and T3 (45 Mbps), or fractional T3 connections. This
type of connectivity ensures a dedicated connection and is generally used to
connect local area networks, wide area networks, or server applications to the
Internet. A dedicated connection requires a dedicated telecommunications
facility, ranging from an analog phone line, ISDN, frame-relay circuit, leased
line T-1, or leased line T3 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.

         DSL (DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER LINE). DSL services are provided to both
residential and commercial customers in over 50 major markets nationwide. These
connections also include a wide range of options, primarily related to the type
of DSL provided and bandwidth associated with the connection. We provide
Asymmetric DSL (ADSL), with speeds ranging from 128kbps to 1.5Mbps; Symmetric
DSL (SDSL), with speeds ranging from 192kbps to 1.5Mbps; and ISDN DSL (IDSL),
with speeds of 144kbps. DSL provides users with a more affordable dedicated
connection, with speeds and guarantees comparable to traditional dedicated
access technologies. A DSL connection requires an unused copper pair
(traditional voice line) for SDSL and ADSL connectivity, or an unused ISDN line
for IDSL connectivity, and a DSL modem or router. DSL services range in price
from $19.95 per month to $800 per month depending on both the connection speed
and the Service Level Agreement on each individual circuit. Hardware fees
generally range from $95 to $450 depending upon the service type and the
functionality of the hardware, but are currently waived for multi-year
contracts. Installation fees generally range from $99 to $250, but are also
currently waived for multi-year contracts.

         DIAL-UP SERVICE. We offer 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 V.90 technology and a high
quality connection due to the redundancy that has been built into the network.
Through an arrangement with PSINet, we provide dial-up access to customers in
over 230 locations nationwide.

         WIRELESS SERVICE. We signed agreements to offer high-speed megabit
Internet access technology to 80% of the homes and businesses in the Denver
metro area. The service provides download speeds of about 100Mbps, and includes
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. We have entered into similar agreements to provide similar services in
the Tucson and Phoenix metropolitan areas through microwave carrier
AlterConnect.

         INTERNET BACKBONE ACCESS. Since acquiring the assets of DataXchange
Network, Inc. in December 1998, we have further expanded our reach into the
national interconnects at MAE-East, MAE-West, a pending install at AADS-NAP in
Chicago, and scheduled installations at MAE-LA and MAE-Dallas. With these
locations and traffic peering agreements with some of today's largest providers,
RMI.NET is strongly positioned to provide its own fully independent Internet
backbone service.

         TRADITIONAL LONG DISTANCE SERVICE. We have entered an agreement with
Frontier Communications of the West, Inc., now a division of Global Crossing,
which will permit us to offer a full line of traditional long distance services.
We currently offer the following services:

         o  1+ long distance, switched and dedicated;

         o  1-800 service - switched and dedicated;

         o  pre-paid and standard calling cards;


                                       8

<PAGE>   12
         o  conference calling; and

         o  integrated voice response.

         LOCAL PHONE SERVICES (CLEC). We have been certified as a competitive
local exchange carrier or CLEC in the states of California, Colorado, Illinois,
Kansas, Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina,
Washington, and West Virginia.

         DEDICATED LINE SERVICES. We operate extensive dedicated and frame-relay
networks to carry voice and data traffic across the country and across town for
our business customers.

OUR SALES AND MARKETING DEPARTMENT

         DEDICATED COMMUNICATIONS SERVICE CUSTOMERS. Our 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 1 or Tier 2 cities ranked in the top thirty
high-tech Buying Power Index ("BPI"). Our secondary target markets will be small
and medium-sized businesses located in smaller cities that are close to our
headquarters or in the top thirty high-tech BPI index.

         Our ability to deliver an array of Internet solutions, coupled with
excellent technical knowledge and high quality service, is our key selling point
to commercial customers. We design, implement, and maintain a complete
enterprise network solution encompassing integrated voice, data, video, and
Internet services, that is able to address all facets of internal and external
communications for a business. A number of providers promote themselves as
"one-stop shops" or "turnkey providers" of these services, but few have the
ability to deliver, manage, and support all services "in-house." We believe that
our ability to package, price, brand, and efficiently deliver our comprehensive
set of products and services will allow us to grow as we focus our sales and
marketing efforts on small to medium-sized businesses.

         Our commercial business sales and marketing efforts emphasize the
direct sales by our field sales representatives. Although each representative
has a specific product or service focus, each is assigned to an account team. We
believe that this account team approach allows us to cross-sell, package, and
blend all of our products and services to meet the needs of our customers. Our
sales teams intend to use 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 commercial businesses and residential
customers.

         We provided dedicated access and Web services to approximately 8,000
business customers as of December 31, 1999.

         DIAL-UP INTERNET ACCESS. Our dial-up customer base consists mainly of
residential consumers and small businesses. We believe that our competitive
advantage of packaging, pricing, branding, and promoting our wide range of
communications services will also serve as a competitive advantage in the
residential consumer market, particularly as we extend our sales and marketing
efforts across the nation. We engage in targeted marketing and distribution
efforts in markets where there is an opportunity for substantial market
penetration. We believe that high geographic concentrations of customers improve
network economics and reduce customer acquisition costs, thereby resulting in
higher margins.

         Through the use of demographic market research data, we are targeting
our marketing and sales efforts towards new and current Internet households and
small businesses nationwide. Because we have experienced a significant amount of
dial-up sales through word-of-mouth advertising, we operate an in-bound calling
center and an out-bound telemarketing sales unit. Our marketing efforts have
been geared toward generating positive referrals and stimulating customer growth
and retention by providing high-quality service to our existing customers.

                                       9
<PAGE>   13


         We plan to increase our print publication, radio, television, and
direct mail advertising in targeted major metropolitan areas throughout the
United States in order to achieve greater density to our customer base. In
particular, our sales efforts will focus on our "outbound/inbound" telemarketing
unit. We plan to build an extensive vendor network capable of distributing all
of our communication services to the public through co-branding programs,
affinity marketing agreements, and cause-related marketing initiatives. We also
plan to utilize extensive, event marketing opportunities, in-market retail
promotions, and a nationwide public relations effort. As of March 1, 2000, we
had approximately 35 sales representatives targeting both residential and
business dial-up and DSL customers.

OUR BILLING AND MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS DEPARTMENT

         We are in the process of completing installation of an online bill
presentment and payment package, which will allow customers to receive their
invoices and make payments online. We have moved from a Microsoft SQL Server to
Oracle for database management. Currently, our administrative office functions
are standardized on Microsoft Office products operating on Microsoft NT Server
Networks. Finance and accounting utilizes Oracle accounting software products
for general ledger, payables processing, and receivables collection and
management.

         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 online information, and
communicate with our 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 us 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.

COMPETITION

         COMPETITIVE FACTORS. The markets in which we operate and intend to
operate are extremely competitive and can be significantly influenced by
marketing and pricing decisions of competitors that have substantially greater
resources. We believe that competition will intensify in the future. Our ability
to compete successfully depends on a number of factors including:

         o  our market presence and geographic coverage;

         o  our reputation for reliability, service, and effective customer
            support;

         o  the capacity, reliability, and security of our network
            infrastructure;

         o  our packaging and pricing of products and services compared to our
            competitors;

         o  the timing of new product and service roll-outs; and

         o  our ability to react to changes in the market and industry and
            economic trends.

         INTERNET ACCESS AND WEB HOSTING. The markets for Internet access and
Web hosting services are extremely competitive and highly fragmented. There are
no substantial barriers to entry, and we expect competition to continue to
intensify. Our current and prospective competitors include many large companies
that have substantially greater market presence and financial, technical,
operational, marketing, and other resources than we do. In addition, every local
market that we have entered or intend to enter is served by multiple local ISPs.
Increased competition could cause us to lower our prices, increase our selling
and marketing expenses, or lose customers. We may not be able to offset
increased costs with an increase in the number of our customers or to increase
revenues from enhanced services. Any of these developments could adversely
affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

                                       10
<PAGE>   14


         We currently compete or expect to compete with the following types of
companies in the Internet services and Web hosting markets:

         o  established online services, such as America Online, the Microsoft
            Network, CompuServe, and Prodigy;

         o  local, regional, and national Internet service providers, such as
            MindSpring, Earthlink, Network, Inc., Internet America, PSINet, and
            Verio;

         o  national telecommunications companies, such as AT&T (with AT&T
            WorldNet), MCI WorldCom, Sprint (SprintNet), GTE, and Qwest
            Communications International;

         o  local telephone and regional Bell operating companies, such as
            BellSouth and SBC Communications;

         o  computer hardware and software companies, such as International
            Business Machines and Microsoft;

         o  national and regional companies that focus primarily on providing
            Web hosting services;

         o  cable television operators and online cable services, such as
            Comcast, AT&T Cable Services, Time Warner, At Home, and Roadrunner;
            and

         o  nonprofit or educational ISPs.

Our competition is likely to increase. We believe this will probably happen as
large diversified telecommunications and media companies acquire Internet
service providers and as Internet service providers consolidate into larger,
more competitive companies. Diversified competitors may bundle other services
and products with Internet connectivity services, potentially placing us at a
significant competitive disadvantage. In addition, competitors may charge less
than we do for Internet services, causing us to reduce or preventing us from
raising our fees. As a result, our business may suffer.

         BROADBAND TECHNOLOGIES. We also face competition from companies that
provide broadband connections to consumers' homes, including local and long
distance telephone companies, cable television companies, electric utility
companies, and wireless communications companies. These companies may include
Internet access or Web hosting using broadband technologies in their basic
bundle of services or may offer Internet access or Web hosting services for a
nominal additional charge. Broadband technologies enable consumers to transmit
and receive print, video, voice, and data in a digital form at significantly
faster speeds than existing dial-up modems. For example, modems offered by cable
television companies can transmit information at speeds of up to 10 megabits per
second, as opposed to our V.90 (enhanced speed modem) service, which can
transmit information at speeds of up to only 56 kilobits per second. In
addition, AT&T Cable Services, formerly known as TCI, announced that it 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.

         The companies that own these broadband networks could prevent us from
delivering Internet access through the wire and cable connections that they own.
Cable television companies are not currently required to allow ISPs to access
their broadband facilities and the availability and terms of ISP access to
broadband local telephone company networks are under regulatory review. Our
ability to compete with telephone and cable television companies that are able
to support broadband transmissions, and to provide better Internet services and
products, may depend on future regulation to guarantee open access to the
broadband networks. However, in January 1999, the Federal Communications
Commission ("FCC") declined to take any action to mandate or otherwise regulate
access by ISPs to broadband cable facilities at this time. It is unclear whether
and to what extent local and state regulatory agencies will take any initiatives
to implement this type of regulations, and whether they will be successful in
establishing their authority to do so. Similarly, the FCC is considering
proposals that could limit the right of ISPs to connect with their customers
over broadband local telephone lines. In addition to competing directly in the
ISP market, both cable and television facilities operators are also aligning
themselves with certain ISPs who would receive preferential or exclusive use of
broadband local connections to end users. If high-speed, broadband facilities
increasingly become the preferred mode by which customers access the Internet
and we are unable to gain access to these facilities on reasonable terms, our
business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially
adversely affected.

<PAGE>   15


         NO INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS. We do not currently compete
internationally. If the ability to provide Internet access internationally
becomes a competitive advantage in the Internet access industry, we may be at a
competitive disadvantage relative to our competitors.

EMPLOYEES

         As of March 6, 2000, RMI.NET, Inc. had approximately 453 employees, of
which approximately 165 were added in acquisitions during 1999. None of
RMI.NET's current employees are represented by a labor organization, and we
consider our relations with our employees to be good.

PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

         GENERAL. Although we believe that our success is more a function of our
technical expertise and customer service than our proprietary rights, RMI.NET's
success and ability to compete depends in part upon our technology. We rely on a
combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, and contractual
restrictions to establish and protect our technology. It is our policy to
require employees and consultants and, when possible, suppliers to execute
confidentiality agreements upon the commencement of their relationships with us.
These agreements provide that confidential information developed or made known
during the course of a relationship with RMI.NET must be kept confidential and
not disclosed to third parties except in specific circumstances. We cannot
provide any assurances that the steps we have taken will be adequate to prevent
misappropriation of our technology or that our competitors will not
independently develop technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior
to our technology.

         LICENSES. We have obtained authorization to use the products of each
manufacturer of software that we bundle in our front-end software product for
Windows and Macintosh customers. The particular applications included in the
RMI.NET starter-kit have, in some cases, been licensed. We currently intend to
maintain or negotiate renewals of, as the case may be, all existing software
licenses and authorizations as necessary. RMI.NET may also want or need to
license other applications in the future. License fees charged to RMI.NET upon
enrollment of additional customers are included in the cost of customer start-up
fees. Other applications included in the RMI.NET starter kit are shareware that
we have obtained permission to distribute or that are from the public domain and
are freely issuable. RMI.NET developed the front-end software programs in
RMI.NET's starter kit for Windows 3.1, Windows 95, and Macintosh. We have
acquired some software, trademarks, and other proprietary technology that we may
continue to use for acquired customers.

REGULATION

         GENERAL REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT. The telecommunications businesses in
which we operate or intend to operate, namely, providing traditional long
distance service, providing long distance service by means of IP Telephony and
activities as a CLEC, 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
public utility commissions 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 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 us. All of our operations are
also subject to a variety of environmental, safety, health, and other
governmental regulations. We cannot assure that future regulatory, judicial, or
legislative activities will not adversely affect us, or that regulators,
competitors, or third parties will not raise material issues with regard to our
compliance or noncompliance with applicable regulations.

                                       12
<PAGE>   16


         The 1996 Telecommunications Act effected 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 us with both opportunities and
challenges. The 1996 Telecommunications Act, among other things, allows the
regional Bell operating companies to enter the long distance business and
enables other entities, including entities affiliated with power utilities and
ventures between local exchange companies 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 our intended telecommunications services (i.e., traditional long
distance, IP Telephony, and local exchange carrier services) and may have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of
operations and cash flow.

         Under the 1996 Telecommunications Act, the regional Bell operating
companies 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 regional Bell operating companies in connection with their provision
of long distance services. Out-of-region services by regional Bell operating
companies 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
regional Bell operating companies are subject to specific FCC approval and
satisfaction of other conditions, including a checklist of pro-competitive
requirements. The regional Bell operating companies 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 regional
Bell operating companies 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 regional Bell operating companies 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 prescribed long distance access lines in the
United States are also restricted from packaging other long distance services
and local services provided over regional Bell operating company 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 regional Bell operating companies and other
incumbent local exchange companies ("ILECs") are classified as dominant carriers
and all other providers of domestic common carrier services, including RMI.NET,
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 inter-exchange services. The order required mandatory
detariffing and gave carriers nine months to withdraw federal tariffs and move
to contractual relationships with their customers. A federal appeals court
subsequently stayed this order.

         On April 18, 1997, the FCC ordered that the regional Bell operating
companies and incumbent ILECs offering domestic interstate inter-LATA (local
access and transport areas) 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
inter-exchange 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. We are unable to predict the outcome of these
proceedings on its operations.

                                       13
<PAGE>   17


         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 interchange communications. The FCC's historical 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 local exchange companies 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.

         Though we believe 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 local exchange
carrier pricing, funded as part of a system of direct charges on some local
exchange carrier customers, including IXCs and above-cost charges for certain
local exchange carrier 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. We
are 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 local exchange carriers and to contribute to universal
service subsidies.

                                       14

         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.
RMB is certified to provide long distance services as an interexchange carrier
(IXC) in 27 states.

         In April 1998, RMB obtained a certificate of authority from the
Colorado Public Utility Commission to provide local exchange services as a CLEC.
We also are certified as a CLEC in California, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland,
Missouri, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Washington, and West
Virginia. 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.

RISK FACTORS

         You should carefully consider the risks described below before making
an investment decision.

WE HAVE A SHORT OPERATING HISTORY, HAVE INCURRED NET LOSSES SINCE OUR INCEPTION
AND EXPECT FUTURE LOSSES

         We started our business in 1993 and began offering Internet access
services in 1994. We have incurred operating losses in every year of our
existence. We incurred net losses of $2.3 million for the year ended December
31, 1996, $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1997, $10.7 million for
year ended December 31, 1998, and $24.9 million for the year ended December 31,
1999. As of December 31, 1999, we have an accumulated deficit of $42.6 million.
We may never be profitable.

         In 1998, a proposed merger transaction with Internet Communications
Corp. ("ICC") and related financing transactions were terminated. On March 17,
2000 we again reached an agreement to acquire ICC. However, claims by third
parties unrelated to ICC allegedly arising from the terminated 1998 merger
remain outstanding. The Company has not agreed that it is responsible for these
claims and has consistently disputed their validity. As a result, we recorded
costs, expenses, and related fees of approximately $6.1 million. Of this amount,
approximately $4.2 million relates to warrants that we issued. Although we are
attempting to agree on a resolution of these disputes that is satisfactory to
all parties, we cannot assure that we will be able to reach an agreement with
all parties. We do not currently have the ability to pay all of these expenses.

IF WE ARE UNABLE TO RAISE FUNDS TO FINANCE OUR GROWTH, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO
MAINTAIN OUR CURRENT LEVEL OF OPERATIONS OR TO PURSUE GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES

         We intend to expand or open new access sites or make other capital
investments as dictated by customer demand and strategic considerations. To open
new dial-up access sites, known in our industry as points of presence or POPs,
we must spend significant amounts of money for new equipment as well as for
leased telecommunications facilities and advertising. In addition, to expand our
customer base nationwide, we will have to spend significant amounts of money on
additional equipment to maintain the high speed and reliability of our Internet
access services. We may also need to spend significant amounts of cash to:

         o  fund growth, operating losses, and increased expenses;

         o  implement our acquisition strategy;

                                       15
<PAGE>   19


         o  take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, such as major
            strategic alliances or other special marketing opportunities,
            acquisitions of complementary businesses or assets, or the
            development of new products; and

         o  respond to unanticipated developments or competitive pressures.

We will require additional funds through equity, debt, or other external
financing in order to fund our current operations and to achieve our business
plan. We cannot assure that any additional capital resources will be available
to us, or, if available, will be on terms that will be acceptable to us. Any
additional equity financing will dilute the equity interests of existing
security holders. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on
acceptable terms, our ability to execute our business plan and our business
could be materially and adversely affected.

WE FACE INTENSE COMPETITION, AND IF WE ARE UNABLE TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY, WE MAY
LOSE MARKET SHARE OR BE FORCED TO REDUCE PRICES

         We operate in the Internet services market, which is extremely
competitive. Our current and prospective competitors include many large
companies that have substantially greater market presence, financial, technical,
marketing, and other resources than we have. We compete directly or indirectly
with the following categories of companies:

         o  established online services, such as America Online, the Microsoft
            Network, CompuServe, and Prodigy;

         o  local, regional, and national Internet service providers, such as
            MindSpring, Earthlink, Network, Inc., Internet America, PSINet, and
            Verio;

         o  national telecommunications companies, such as AT&T Corp., MCI
            WorldCom, Inc., Sprint, and GTE;

         o  regional Bell operating companies, such as BellSouth and SBC
            Communications;

         o  computer hardware and software companies, such as International
            Business Machines and Microsoft Corporation; and

         o  online cable services, such as At Home and Roadrunner.

Our competition is likely to increase. We believe this will probably happen as
large diversified telecommunications and media companies acquire Internet
service providers and as Internet service providers consolidate into larger,
more competitive companies. Diversified competitors may bundle other services
and products with Internet connectivity services, potentially placing us at a
significant competitive disadvantage. In addition, competitors may charge less
than we do for Internet services, causing us to reduce or preventing us from
raising our fees. As a result, our business may suffer.

IF WE ARE UNABLE TO COMPETE IN THE LOCAL EXCHANGE AND LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE
MARKET, OUR PROFITABILITY WILL BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED

         In 1998, we entered the long distance telephone market. We will compete
directly with inter-exchange carriers and long distance carriers and other long
distance resellers and providers, including large carriers such as AT&T, MCI
WorldCom, Sprint, and new entrants to the long distance market. Many of our
competitors are significantly larger and have substantially greater market
presence and financial, technical, operational, marketing, and other resources.
We will face stiff price competition and may not be able to compete.

         Moreover, the local exchange telephone services market in most states
was only recently opened to competition due to the passage of the 1996
Telecommunications Act and related regulatory rulings. Numerous operating
complexities are associated with providing these services. We will be required
to develop new products, services, and systems and will need to develop new
marketing initiatives to sell these services. Our inability to overcome any of
these operating complexities could have a material adverse effect on us.


                                       16
<PAGE>   20

IF WE FAIL TO KEEP PACE WITH TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE AND EVOLVING INDUSTRY
STANDARDS, WE MAY LOSE CUSTOMERS

         The Internet services market is characterized by rapidly changing
technology, evolving industry standards, changes in customer needs, and frequent
new service and product introductions. Our future success depends, in part, on
our ability to:

         o  use leading technologies to develop our technical expertise;

         o  enhance our existing services; and

         o  develop new services that meet changing customer needs on a timely
            and cost-effective basis.

In particular, we must provide customers with the appropriate products,
services, and guidance to best take advantage of the rapidly evolving Internet.
Our failure to respond in a timely and effective manner to new and evolving
technologies could have a negative impact on our business. Our ability to
compete will also depend upon the continued compatibility of our services with
products offered by various vendors. Although we intend to support emerging
standards in the market for Internet access, industry standards may not be
established. Moreover, if industry standards are established, we may not be able
to conform to these new standards in a timely fashion. Our competitors may
develop services and technologies that will render our services or technology
noncompetitive or obsolete.

         We are also at risk to fundamental changes in the way customers access
the Internet. Currently, most customers access Internet services through
computers connected by telephone lines. However, several companies have
developed cable television modems and other "broadband technologies" that
transmit data at substantially faster speeds than the modems that our customers
and we use. We must develop new technology or modify our existing technology to
accommodate new and faster sources of Internet access, including cable
television modems, screen-based telephones, wireless products, televisions, and
other consumer electronic devices. We may not succeed in adapting our Internet
access business to new and faster access devices.

ANY DECLINE IN OUR CUSTOMER RETENTION LEVELS OR OUR PRICES WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT
REVENUES AND PROFITABILITY

         Our new customer acquisition costs are substantial relative to the
monthly fees we charge. Accordingly, our long-term success largely depends on
our retention of existing customers. While we continue to invest significant
resources in our infrastructure and technical and customer support capabilities,
it is relatively easy for Internet users to switch to competing providers.
Consequently, our investments may not help customer retention. Any significant
loss of customers will substantially decrease our revenue and cause our business
to suffer.

         As a result of competitive pricing pressures in the market for Internet
services, we reduced the prices we charge our Internet customers during 1995,
1997, and 1998. We expect that continued price pressures may cause us to reduce
prices further in order to remain competitive, and we expect that such further
price reductions could adversely effect our results of operations, unless we can
lower our costs commensurate with such price decreases.

IF WE FAIL TO EFFECTIVELY MANAGE OUR GROWTH, THE QUALITY OF OUR SERVICE WILL
DECLINE AND WE WILL LOSE CUSTOMERS

         Our rapid growth has and will place a significant strain on our
managerial, operational, financial, and information systems resources. To
accommodate our increasing size and manage our growth, we must continue to
implement and improve these systems and attract, train, manage, and retain
qualified employees. These demands will require us to add new management
personnel and develop new expertise. In order to successfully integrate newly
acquired assets and continue to implement a nationwide strategy and network, we
must:

         o  closely monitor service quality, particularly through third party
            "POPs";


                                       17
<PAGE>   21

         o  acquire and install necessary equipment and telecommunications
            facilities;

         o  create and implement marketing strategies in new and existing
            markets;

         o  employ qualified personnel to provide technical and marketing
            support for new sites; and

         o  continue to expand our managerial, operational, and financial
            resources to support expansion.

Although we are taking steps to manage our growth effectively, we may not
succeed. If we fail to successfully manage our growth, our ability to maintain
and increase our customer base will be impaired and our business will suffer.

IF WE FAIL TO INTEGRATE RESOURCES ACQUIRED THROUGH ACQUISITIONS, WE WILL LOSE
CUSTOMERS AND OUR LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND PROFITABILITY WILL BE
ADVERSELY AFFECTED

         Since January 1999, we have acquired the stock or assets of 16
companies and may acquire a number of other companies in the next few months. As
part of our long-term business strategy, we continually evaluate strategic
acquisitions of businesses and customer accounts. Acquisitions often involve a
number of special risks, including the following:

         o  we may experience difficulty integrating acquired operations and
            personnel;

         o  we may be unable to retain acquired customers;

         o  the acquisition may disrupt our ongoing business;

         o  we may not be able to successfully incorporate acquired technology
            and rights into our service offerings and maintain uniform
            standards, controls, procedures, and policies;

         o  the businesses we acquire may fail to achieve the revenues and
            earnings we anticipated;

         o  we may ultimately be liable for contingent and other liabilities,
            not previously disclosed to us, of the companies that we acquire;
            and

         o  our resources may be diverted in asserting and defending our legal
            rights.

We may not successfully overcome problems encountered in connection with
potential future acquisitions. In addition, an acquisition could materially
adversely affect our operating results by:

         o  causing us to incur additional debt;

         o  increasing amortization expenses related to goodwill and other
            intangible assets; and

         o  diluting your ownership interest.

Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business.

IF WE ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN SUFFICIENT NETWORK CAPACITY FROM OUR INTERNAL AND
LEASED NETWORK, OUR ABILITY TO GROW WILL BE SEVERELY CURTAILED

         Our success depends, in part, on the capacity, reliability, and
security of our network. Our network includes computers, servers, routers,
modems, broadband fiber systems, access to third party broadband systems, and
other related hardware and software. Network capacity constraints have occurred
in the past and may occur in the future, in connection with:

                                       18
<PAGE>   22




         o  particular dial-up POPs affecting only customers attempting to use
            that particular point of presence; and

         o  system wide services, such as e-mail and news services, which can
            affect all customers.

These capacity constraints result in slowdowns, delays, or inaccessibility when
customers try to use a particular service. Poor network performance could cause
customers to terminate their membership with us. To reduce the probability of
such problems, we will be required to expand and improve our network. Such
expansion and improvement will be very costly and time consuming. We may not be
able to expand or adapt our network to meet additional demand or changing
customer requirements on a timely basis or at a commercially reasonable cost.

         In order to provide Internet access and other online services to our
customers, we lease long distance fiber optic telecommunications lines from
multiple national telecommunications service providers. We are dependent upon
these providers of data communications facilities. In addition, we have a
wholesale usage agreement with PSINet, which allows us to provide dial-up and
"switched" network access to our customers through PSINet's 235 POPs throughout
the United States. We also have other agreements with service providers on whom
we rely to deliver our product and service offerings. Moreover, PSINet provides
network access to some of our competitors. PSINet could choose to grant these
competitors preferential network access, potentially limiting our customers'
ability to access the Internet. Even without such preferential treatment,
increased usage of PSINet's POPs by other Internet service providers and online
service providers may negatively affect access system performance.

SYSTEM FAILURES CAUSED BY NATURAL DISASTERS COULD INTERRUPT OUR SERVICE AND
ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR REVENUES

         We must protect our infrastructure against fire, earthquakes, power
loss, telecommunications failure, computer viruses, security breaches, and
similar events. We do not currently maintain a redundant or backup network hub
for all of our customers. Moreover, because we lease our lines from long
distance telecommunications companies and regional Bell operating companies, we
are dependent upon these companies for physical repair and maintenance of the
leased lines. We maintain multiple carrier agreements to reduce the risk of loss
of operations from damage, power failures, telecommunications failures, and
similar events. However, the occurrence of a natural disaster or other
unanticipated problems at our network operations center or any of our POPs may
cause interruptions in the services we provide. In addition, failure of our
telecommunications providers to provide the data communications capacity we
require as a result of a natural disaster, operational disruption, or for any
other reason could cause interruptions in the services we provide. Any damage or
failure that causes interruptions in our operations could have a material
adverse effect on us.

OUR NETWORK IS SUBJECT TO SECURITY RISKS AND INAPPROPRIATE USE BY INTERNET USERS
THAT COULD INTERRUPT OUR SERVICE AND CAUSE A DECLINE IN OUR PROFITABILITY

         The future success of our business will depend on the security of our
network and the networks of third parties over which we have no control. Despite
implementation of security measures, we remain vulnerable to computer viruses,
sabotage, break-ins, and similar disruptive problems caused by customers or
other Internet users. Any breach of our network security or other inappropriate
use of our network, such as the sending of excessive volumes of unsolicited bulk
e-mail or "spam," could lead to interruptions, delays, or cessation of services
to our customers. Our customers, in turn, could terminate their membership or
assert claims against us. Third parties could also potentially jeopardize the
security of confidential information stored in our computer systems or our
customers' computer systems by their inappropriate use of the Internet, which
could cause losses to our customers or us or deter potential customers from
subscribing to our services. Inappropriate use of the Internet includes
attempting to gain unauthorized access to information or systems, commonly known
as "cracking" or "hacking." Although we intend to continue to implement security
measures, "hackers" have circumvented such measures in the past, and others may
be able to circumvent our security measures or the security measures of our
third-party network providers in the future.

                                       19
<PAGE>   23


         To fix problems caused by computer viruses or other inappropriate uses
or security breaches, we may have to interrupt, delay, or cease service to our
customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. In
addition, we expect that our customers will increasingly use the Internet for
commercial transactions in the future. Any network malfunction or security
breach could cause these transactions to be delayed, not completed, or completed
with compromised security. As a result, customers or others may assert claims of
liability against us. Further, 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
our customer base and revenue in particular.

IF WE ARE UNABLE TO DELIVER OUR SERVICES VIA TELECOMMUNICATIONS CARRIERS AND
OTHER SUPPLIERS, WE COULD EXPERIENCE SERVICE DELAYS AND INCREASED COSTS IN
EXPANDING OUR NETWORK

         We rely on traditional telecommunications carriers to transmit our
traffic over local and long distance networks. These networks may experience
disruptions and capacity constraints that are not easily remedied. We may have
no means of replacing these services. In addition, local phone service is
sometimes available only from one company. The benefits of competition and
alternative sources of supply are not present in these markets.

         We also depend on certain suppliers of hardware and software
components. We acquire a majority of our networking service components,
including terminal servers and high-performance routers, from Cisco Systems,
Inc. and Lucent Technologies, Inc. The expansion of our network places a
significant demand on our suppliers, some of which have limited production
capacity. In the past, we have experienced delays in delivery of new telephone
lines, modems, terminal servers, and other equipment. If delays are severe, all
incoming modem lines may become full during peak times, resulting in busy
signals for customers who are trying to connect to RMI.NET. If our suppliers
cannot meet increased demand and we are not able to develop alternative sources
of supply, we could experience delays and increased costs in expanding our
network, difficulty in providing our services, and the loss of dissatisfied
customers.

TO PROTECT OUR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS OR TO AVOID CLAIMS THAT WE INFRINGE THE
PROPRIETARY RIGHTS OF OTHERS, WE MAY BE FORCED TO INCUR SUBSTANTIAL COSTS AND TO
DIVERT VALUABLE MANAGERIAL RESOURCES AWAY FROM OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS

         Our success is dependent in part on our technology and other
proprietary rights. To protect our rights, we rely on a combination of
copyright, trademark, patent and trade secret laws, and contractual
restrictions. We cannot be sure that these steps will be adequate to prevent
misappropriation or infringement of our intellectual property. Nor can we be
sure that competitors will not independently develop technologies that are
substantially equivalent or superior to our proprietary property and technology.

         In our industry, competitors often assert intellectual property claims
against one another. The success of our business depends on our ability to
assert and defend our intellectual property rights. Future litigation may have
an adverse impact on our financial condition. These claims could result in
substantial costs and diversion of resources, even if the claim is ultimately
decided in our favor. If a claim is asserted alleging that we infringed the
proprietary technology or information of a third party, we may be required to
seek licenses for such intellectual property. We cannot be sure that such
licenses would be offered or obtained on commercially reasonable terms, if at
all. The failure to obtain the necessary licenses or other rights could have a
material adverse affect on our business.

MR. HANSON HAS A CONTROLLING INTEREST IN RMI.NET, INC. WHICH MAY PREVENT YOU
FROM REALIZING A PREMIUM RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT

         Our CEO, President, and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Douglas
Hanson has a controlling interest in RMI.NET, Inc. through his direct ownership
of common stock, ability to exercise outstanding options, and voting rights
agreements. As a result, Mr. Hanson has voting control of RMI.NET, Inc. and can
influence all matters that require stockholder approval. Mr. Hanson may
designate the members of our Board of Directors and can decide our operations
and business strategy. You may disagree with Mr. Hanson's management decisions.

         As a controlling stockholder, Mr. Hanson also has the power to approve
or reject significant corporate matters, such as mergers, acquisitions, and
other change-in-control transactions. Mr. Hanson's controlling interest could
make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if the acquisition
would be beneficial to you. You may not realize the premium return that
stockholders may realize in conjunction with corporate takeovers.

IF OTHER SECURITY HOLDERS SELL THEIR STOCK, THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK
MAY FALL AND YOUR OWNERSHIP INTEREST COULD BE DILUTED

         As of March 24, 2000, we have approximately 21,142,497 shares of common
stock outstanding. Assuming a market price of approximately $10.00 per share for
RMI.NET common stock as of March 24, 2000, we have reserved approximately 7.0
million additional shares for issuance upon exercise of warrants and stock
options, various anti-dilution provisions contained in the warrants and stock
options, and prior acquisitions. If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of
our common stock in the public market, the market price of our common stock and
our publicly traded warrants could fall. Such sales also might make it more
difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a
price we deem appropriate. We have issued and plan to issue additional
convertible equity and debt securities in the future. If these securities are
exercised or converted, you may experience significant dilution in the market
value of your stock. Our stock price is highly volatile.

OUR OUTSTANDING CLASS B WARRANTS COULD RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION OF YOUR
INVESTMENT, A DETRIMENTAL EFFECT ON OUR LIQUIDITY AND ABILITY TO RAISE
ADDITIONAL CAPITAL, AND A SIGNIFICANT DECLINE IN THE VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK

         In our December 1999 private placement, we sold the following
securities to two institutional investors, Advantage Fund II Ltd. and Koch
Investment Group Limited, for aggregate consideration of $10 million:

         o  761,610 shares of common stock;

         o  Class A Warrants to purchase 182,786 shares of common stock; and

         o  Class B Warrants to purchase a potentially unlimited number of
            shares of common stock.

The outstanding Class B Warrants carry certain risks, including the potential
for:

         o  substantial dilution of your investment in RMI.NET;

         o  a detrimental effect on our ability to raise additional funds; and

         o  a decline in the market value of our common stock as a result of
            the exercise of the Class B warrants and subsequent sales of the
            common stock.

Each of these risks is discussed in greater detail below.

IF THE MARKET VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK DECLINES, WE MAY ISSUE A SUBSTANTIAL
AMOUNT OF COMMON STOCK UPON EXERCISE OF CLASS B WARRANTS AND YOU WILL EXPERIENCE
IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION

         The number of shares that we may issue to holders of RMI.NET's Class B
Warrants is based on the market price of our common stock from May of 2000
through November of 2002. In effect, the holders of the Class B Warrants have
the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of our common stock,
if any, without assuming the risk of loss from a decline in the stock price. If
the market price of our common stock decreases, we may issue a greater number of
shares upon conversion of the Class B Warrants. There is theoretically no limit
on the number of shares of common stock that we may be required to issue upon
conversion of the Class B Warrants. Your percentage ownership of our common
stock could be diluted substantially. Moreover, because the exercise price of
the Class B Warrants is only $0.01 per share, we will not receive material cash
proceeds from the exercise of the Class B Warrants.

         The following chart sets forth the maximum number of shares of common
stock we would issue upon full exercise of the Class B Warrants, assuming that:

                                       21
<PAGE>   25


         o  the market price of the common stock is 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25% of
            the closing price of our common stock on March 24, 2000 ($10.00 per
            share), and stays at that level through November of 2002; and

         o  the institutional investors do not sell any of their common stock
            until after November of 2002.

          (1)  Assumes that all shares to be issued upon exercise of Class B
               Warrants are outstanding as of March 10, 2000.

THE EXISTENCE OF OUR CLASS B WARRANTS MAY HINDER OUR ABILITY TO RAISE ADDITIONAL
CAPITAL

         Because of the potential for dilution, as outlined above, we may find
it more difficult to raise additional equity capital while the Class B Warrants
are outstanding. Sources of equity capital may be reluctant to provide needed
operating capital, which could have an adverse affect on our ability to finance
growth opportunities and on our liquidity.

IF INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS SELL LARGE VOLUMES OF THEIR COMMON STOCK WITHIN A
RELATIVELY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, INCLUDING SHARES TO BE ISSUED UPON CONVERSION
OF THEIR CLASS B WARRANTS, THE VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY DECLINE

         If the institutional investors sell large volumes of their common stock
within a relatively short period of time, the market price of our common stock
may decrease and allow the institutional investors to convert their Class B
Warrants into a greater amount of our common stock. Further sales of the common
stock issued upon conversion of the Class B Warrants could cause even greater
declines in the price of our common stock. Although holders of the Class B
Warrants are restricted in their ability to engage in short sales and similar
transactions, the downward pressure on the market price caused by conversion of
Class B Warrants and sale of the underlying common stock could encourage short
sales by other investors and further undermine the value of our common stock.

IF THE NUMBER OF SHARES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THE CLASS B WARRANTS EXCEEDS
20% OF THE NUMBER OF SHARES OUTSTANDING BEFORE THE DECEMBER 1999 PRIVATE
PLACEMENT, WE MAY SEEK STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL OF THE CLASS B WARRANT SHARES

         Under the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, we are required to obtain
stockholder approval for the issuance of common stock upon exercise of the Class
B Warrants if the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Class B
Warrants equals or exceeds 20% of the number of shares of common stock
outstanding before the Class B Warrants were issued. On the date the Class B
Warrants were issued, we had 18,865,448 shares of common stock outstanding.
Thus, we will be able to issue 3,773,089 shares upon exercise of Class B
Warrants without obtaining stockholder approval.

                                       22
<PAGE>   26


         However, the terms of the Class B Warrants are structured so that we
will comply with Nasdaq's 20% limitation even if we are unable to obtain
stockholder approval. If the market price of our common stock declines and we
would need to otherwise issue common stock in excess of the Nasdaq 20%
Limitation, we would then have the option of either:

         o  seeking stockholder ratification of shares to be issued upon
            exercise of the Class B Warrants before issuing the underlying
            common stock; or

         o  instead of issuing the common stock, pay a redemption fee
            equal to 120% of the average market value of the unissued
            common stock over a five-day period immediately preceding the
            holder's request for redemption.

Redemption of the underlying common stock at a 20% premium could severely
diminish our working capital and harm our ability to raise additional capital.
If the Company is unable to obtain shareholder approval, it will result in
substantial additional dilution to the existing shareholders.

THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY FLUCTUATE SIGNIFICANTLY, WHICH COULD LEAD TO
LOSSES FOR INDIVIDUAL INVESTORS

         In the past, our common stock and publicly traded warrants have traded
at volatile prices. We believe that the market prices will continue to be
subject to significant fluctuations due to various factors and events that may
or may not be related to our performance. If the market value of our common
stock decreased substantially, we could be delisted from the Nasdaq National
Market. Consequently, you could find it difficult or impossible to sell your
stock or to determine the value of your stock. In addition, the stock market has
from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations, which
have particularly affected the market prices of the stocks of Internet-sector
companies and which may be unrelated to the operating performance of such
companies. Furthermore, our operating results and prospects from time to time
may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. Any such
event could result in a material decline in the price of your stock.

THE VOLATILITY OF OUR STOCK PRICE COULD LEAD TO SECURITIES CLASS ACTION
LITIGATION, WHICH COULD BE COSTLY AND TIME CONSUMING TO DEFEND AND COULD DAMAGE
OUR REPUTATION

         In the past, there have been class action law suits filed against
companies after periods of fluctuations in the market price of their securities.
If we were subject to this type of litigation, it would be a strain on our
personnel and financial resources, and divert management's attention from
running our company. Litigation could also negatively affect our public image
and reputation.

FACTORS OUTSIDE OF OUR CONTROL MAY AFFECT OUR OPERATING RESULTS AND CAUSE OUR
QUARTERLY RESULTS TO FLUCTUATE

         Our financial results may fluctuate significantly because of several
factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include:

         o  costs associated with gaining and retaining customers and capital
            expenditures for upgrading our systems and infrastructure;

         o  timing and market acceptance of new and upgraded Internet service
            introductions, technologies, and services by us and our competitors;

         o  loss of customers, seasonal fluctuations in demand for our services;

         o  downward pressure on prices due to increased competition;

         o  changes in our operating expenses, including telecommunications
            costs; and


                                       23
<PAGE>   27

         o  the effect of potential acquisitions.

Fluctuations caused by these and other factors could cause our business to
suffer.

WE HAVE NO INTENTION TO PAY DIVIDENDS

         We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently
intend to retain all future earnings, if any, for use in our business and do not
expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.

WE MAY BECOME SUBJECT TO BURDENSOME GOVERNMENT REGULATION WHICH COULD DECREASE
OUR REVENUES AND INCREASE OUR COSTS

         We provide Internet services through data transmissions over public
telephone lines and cable networks. The Federal Communications Commission
governs these transmissions and establishes charges and terms for
communications. As an Internet access provider, we are not subject to direct
regulation by the Federal Communications Commission or any other governmental
agency, other than the regulations applicable to businesses generally. However,
we could become subject to the Federal Communications Commission or other
regulatory agency regulation especially as Internet services and
telecommunication services converge. Changes in the regulatory environment could
decrease our revenue and increase our costs. For example, the Federal
Communications Commission may decide that Internet-based telephone services
should be subject to pay carrier access charges on the same basis as traditional
telecommunications companies.

         The Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 imposed fines on Internet
service providers, in part, for providing access to indecent and obscene
services. The United States Supreme Court found this part of the Federal
Telecommunications Act of 1996 unconstitutional in June of 1997. However, on
March 12, 1998, the Senate Commerce Committee approved two bills that attempt to
reconstruct these unconstitutional provisions. Although it is too early to
determine the ultimate course of these bills, and to evaluate the
constitutionality of the proposals, these provisions, if enacted and upheld,
could expose ISPs such as RMI.NET to liabilities.

         Additional laws and regulations may be adopted with respect to the
Internet, covering issues such as Universal Service Fund support payments,
content, user privacy, pricing, libel, obscene material, indecency, gambling,
intellectual property protection and infringement, technology export, and other
controls. Other federal Internet-related legislation has been introduced which
may limit commerce and discourse on the Internet. The Federal Communications
Commission currently is considering:

         o  whether Internet service providers are regulated telecommunications
            providers;

         o  whether Internet service providers are required to contribute to the
            Universal Service Fund; and

         o  how various companies in the Internet and telecommunications
            industries should be classified.

IF WE ARE UNABLE TO RETAIN KEY EXECUTIVES, OUR GROWTH POTENTIAL AND OPERATING
RESULTS WILL BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED

         Our success greatly depends on our ability to attract and retain key
technical, sales, marketing, information systems, financial, and executive
personnel. We are especially dependent on the continued services of our senior
management team, particularly Douglas H. Hanson, our Chief Executive Officer,
President and Chairman of the Board of Directors. The loss of Mr. Hanson or
other senior managers could have a materially detrimental effect on us. All
members of our senior management team can terminate their employment at any
time. We do not maintain key person life insurance on any of our personnel. If
we fail to attract, hire, or retain the necessary personnel, or if we lose the
services of any member of our senior management team, our business could be
adversely affected.

         In June 1998, we announced that we had agreed to acquire Internet
Communications Corp. ("ICC"). The closing of the acquisition was subject to
various closing conditions, and the merger agreement contained certain rights of
termination. In October 1998, we 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 RMI.NET in Denver
District Court claiming $30 million in damages and alleging, among other things,
that we had breached the merger agreement and had made certain
misrepresentations to ICC with respect to the merger transaction.

         On August 6, 1999, ICC agreed to dismiss with prejudice all claims
brought in their lawsuit against RMI.NET, and entered into a Settlement
Agreement resolving all current and future claims related to the terminated
merger. Under the Settlement Agreement, we made no payment of any monies or
anything of value to ICC as a result of the claims.

         Although we have resolved our dispute with ICC, and in March 2000 we
agreed again to acquire ICC, claims by third parties unrelated to ICC allegedly
arising from the terminated 1998 merger remain outstanding. As a result of the
1998 merger attempt and the related financing transaction, we incurred costs,
expenses, and related fees of $6.1 million, a portion of which are in dispute.
Of the $6.1 million expense, approximately $4.2 million relates to a non-cash
item regarding warrants that we issued. At this time, we are unable to determine
the possible outcome of this remaining dispute.

         TOTAL REVENUE

         The Company's total revenues grew 199% from $10,087,000 in 1998 to
$30,122,000 in 1999. Revenue growth performance is attributable to an increase
in the number of the Company's customers which were added primarily through
acquisition. During the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company completed 16
acquisitions which contributed revenue of approximately $13.8 million. In
addition, the Company intensified its sales and marketing efforts in 1999 versus
1998 by launching a national advertising campaign in September 1999 as well as
increasing the size of the sales force.

         COMMUNICATION SERVICES

         Communication Services is comprised predominately of dial-up, dedicated
access and telecommunication services. The Company offers a broad range of
connectivity options to its customers including dedicated, Digital Subscriber
Line ("DSL"), Integrated Services Digital Network ("ISDN"), dial-up connections
as well as long distance voice services. Connectivity customers typically pay
fixed, monthly recurring service charges plus a one-time setup fee. The charges
vary depending on the type of service, the length of the contract and local
market conditions. Amounts billed relating to future periods are recorded as
deferred revenue and amortized monthly as the services are rendered.

         Communication Services revenue increased 224% from $7,974,000 in 1998
to $25,864,000 in 1999. In addition, Communication Services revenue as a
percentage of total revenue increased from 79% in 1998 to 86% in 1999.
Acquisitions completed in 1999 contributed significantly to this increase,
adding approximately $13.8 million of the $18 million increase.

         WEB SOLUTIONS

         Web Solutions revenues are comprised of three major products: Web site
hosting, Web site production, and Web site marketing. Web hosting customers
typically pay fixed, recurring monthly service charges plus a one-time setup
fee. Revenue from Web site production and Web marketing customers is recognized
as the service is provided.

         Web Solutions revenue grew 102% from $2,113,000 in 1998 to $4,258,000
in 1999. Web site hosting accounted for $601,000 of revenue in 1998 and
$1,285,000 in 1999, for an increase of 114% due to an increase in the number of
hosted Web sites as a result of acquisitions. Web site production increased from
$1,287,000 in 1998 to $2,452,000 in 1999, for an increase of 91%. The increase
in Web production revenue is primarily due to Web production revenue contributed
through the acquired companies.

         OPERATING EXPENSES

         Operating expenses consists primarily of costs for circuit and local
line charges to provide service to our customers. The operating expenses related
to Web solutions customers consist primarily of payroll expense related to
Web-site design services and sub-contracting costs.

         Operating expenses increased 406%, from $ 3,522,000 in 1998, to
$17,816,000 in 1999, primarily due to acquisitions. In addition, the operating
expenses as a percent of revenue increased from 35% in 1998 to 59% in 1999.
Operating expenses as a percent of revenues increased in 1999 relative to 1998
due to changes in Communication Services product mix, resulting from increased
telephony operations and increased costs directly related to production services
within the Web Solutions line of business.

         SELLING EXPENSES

         Selling expenses consist primarily of salaries, commission,
advertising, and marketing. Selling expenses increased 192%, from $2,054,000 in
1998 to $6,005,000 in 1999. The increase in selling expenses is due primarily to
the addition of sales personnel related to the current year acquisitions. In
addition, in September 1999, the Company launched a national advertising
campaign to support the Company's growing national presence and expanding line
of products and services.

<PAGE>   32

         GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

         General and administrative expenses ("G & A") consist primarily of
salaries and related benefits, and includes the expenses of general management,
engineering, customer service, technical support, accounting, billing, and
office facilities. G&A expenses increased 208% from $7,130,000 in 1998 to
$21,995,000 in 1999. This increase was partially the result of higher payroll
costs and benefits primarily related to the acquisition of 16 companies during
1999. Payroll and benefits cost increased 107% from $5,990,000 in 1998 to
$12,405,000 in 1999, as a result of increasing the Company's headcount. Outside
services, which include "temporary to hire" staff and professional services,
increased 91% from $1,139,000 in 1998 to $2,170,000 in 1999. In late 1998, the
Company began hiring 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.

         COSTS RELATED TO UNSUCCESSFUL MERGER ATTEMPT

         In 1998, the Company accrued approximately $6 million in costs related
to an unsuccessful merger attempt. See Legal Proceedings and footnote 4 in the
financial statements for more information.

         DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

         Depreciation and amortization is provided for over the estimated useful
lives of assets ranging from 3 to 7 years using the straight-line method. The
excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired, or goodwill, is
amortized using the straight-line method over a five-year period. Depreciation
and amortization increased 395% from $1,789,000 in 1998 to $8,852,000 in 1999.
The increase was due to higher goodwill amortization associated with the
Company's acquisition of 16 companies during 1999 and six companies in 1998.
Additional acquisitions and investments are likely to cause depreciation and
goodwill amortization to increase in the future.

         INTEREST EXPENSE

         Interest expense increased from $320,000 in 1998 to $542,000 in 1999.
The increase is due to higher long-term debt and capital lease obligations in
1999 compared to 1998.


     YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED WITH YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997

         TOTAL REVENUE

         The Company's total revenues grew 65% from $6,127,000 in 1997 to
$10,087,000 in 1998. Revenue growth performance is attributable to an increase
in the number of the Company's customers as a result of more aggressive sales
efforts and customers added by acquisition. The Company intensified its sales
efforts in 1998 versus 1997 by increasing the size of the sales force and by
segmenting the sales team by product group.

         COMMUNICATION SERVICES

         Communication Services is comprised predominantly of dial-up and
dedicated access service. Communication Services revenue increased 57% from
$5,076,000 in 1997 to $7,974,000 in 1998. The increase is due to increasing
demand for a wide range of bandwidth connectivity options to connect our
customers to the Internet and the headcount growth of the Company's sales
department in 1998, which resulted in an addition of over 6,100 customers in
1998. The growth in revenue was partially offset by the full-year impact of the
adoption of a flat-rate-structure for dial-up versus a usage based pricing
structure. In addition, we added over 11,000 dial-up and 693 dedicated access
customers due to acquisitions in the Company's fourth quarter.

         WEB SOLUTIONS

         Web Solutions revenue grew 101% from $1,051,000 in 1997 to $2,113,000
in 1998. Web site hosting accounted for $451,000 of revenue in 1997 and $601,000
in 1998, for an increase of 33%, due to an increase in the number of hosted Web
sites as a result of the addition of sales personnel. Web site production
increased from $543,000 in 1997 to $1,287,000 in 1998, for an increase of 137%.
The increase in Web site production revenue is primarily due to the acquisition
of Applications Methods, which accounted for $706,000, or 53% of the Web
production revenue in 1998.

         Operating expenses increased 71% from $2,060,000 in 1997 to $3,522,000
in 1998. Operating expenses on Internet access increased primarily as a result
of changing from usage based pricing to a flat-fee pricing structure for dial-up
access. In 1998, the operating expenses associated with Web Solutions included
outsourcing of additional Web production programmers to complete specific
projects whereas no such outsourcing costs were incurred in 1997.

         SELLING EXPENSES

         Selling expenses increased 72% from $1,195,000 in 1997 to $2,054,000 in
1998. The increase in selling expenses is primarily due to an increase in sales
personnel related to 1998 acquisitions.

          GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

         Total general and administrative expenses ("G & A") increased 23% from
$5,785,000 in 1997 to $7,130,000 in 1998. This increase was partially the result
of higher payroll costs and benefits. Payroll and benefits cost increased 50%
from $3,993,000 in 1997 to $5,990,000 in 1998, as a result of increasing the
Company's headcount from 72 in December 1997 to 198 in December 1998. Outside
services, which include "temporary to hire" staff and professional services
increased 67% from $682,000 in 1997 to $1,139,000 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.

         COSTS RELATED TO UNSUCCESSFUL MERGER ATTEMPT

         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. As a result of the
termination and the related financing transactions which were not completed, the
Company incurred costs, expenses, and related fees of approximately $6.1
million, a portion of which are in dispute. Of this amount, approximately $4.2
million relates to a non-cash item related to warrants issued by the Company.
This matter was settled in 1999.

         DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

         Depreciation and amortization increased 102% from $887,000 in 1997 to
$1,789,000 in 1998. The increase was due to higher goodwill amortization
associated with the Company's acquisition of six companies during 1998.

         INTEREST EXPENSE

         Interest expense decreased from $402,000 in 1997 to $320,000 in 1998.
The decrease is due to lower long-term debt and capital lease obligations in
1998 compared to 1997.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

         Historically, inflation has not had a material effect on the Company.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         In 1999, the Company used $13.6 million in operations, as compared to
$2.6 million in 1998. The increase in cash used in operations resulted primarily
from a net loss before depreciation and amortization of $16.1 million. In
addition, the accounts payable balance was reduced by $1.9 million after taking
into consideration the acquired accounts payable balances. The Company expects
to continue to have operating cash flow deficiencies for the near future as it
develops and expands its business.

         In 1999, the Company used $2.6 million in investing activities as
compared to $0.7 million in 1998. This was primarily due to increased capital
expenditures in 1999.

         In 1999, the Company generated $21.7 million from financing activities,
as compared to $8.0 million in 1998. This was primarily the result of increased
proceeds from the sale of the Company's common stock and common stock options
and warrants.

         Since its inception, the Company has funded its operations and working
capital needs primarily through the public and private placement of the
Company's equity securities. In addition, a significant portion of the Company's
capital expenditures have been financed through capital lease obligations
payable to finance companies. The Company has also borrowed amounts from its
CEO in order to fund working capital requirements.

         The Company issued warrants to its CEO to purchase 4,000,000 shares of
the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $1.90 per share. The CEO
exercised a portion of these warrants in March 1998 to purchase 50,000 shares of
the Company's common stock. In August 1999, the Company's CEO exercised the
remaining warrants to purchase 3,950,000 of the Company's common stock, yielding
net proceeds of approximately $7.5 million.

         The Company also issued 761,610 shares of common stock through a
private placement which was completed in December 1999. The Company received
approximately $10 million in gross proceeds from the issuance of the common
stock which was sold to two institutional investors. In addition, the Company
issued Class A Warrants to purchase 182,786 shares of common stock and Class B
Warrants to purchase a variable number of shares of common stock. The Class A
Warrants expire on December 7, 2004 and have an exercise price of $9.8476 per
share. The Class B Warrants become exercisable on June 4, 2000, expire on
November 26, 2002, and have an exercise price of $.01 per share.

         The Company has cash and cash equivalents of $11.2 million at December
31, 1999. Management estimates that, based upon its current expectations for
growth, the Company will require additional funding of up to $5 million through
the end of 2000 for the execution of its current business plan, including the
financing of its anticipated capital expenditures and operating losses. In
addition to increased cash flow from operations, the Company intends to obtain
this funding from one or more of the following sources:

         (1)      a commitment from one of the institutional investors who
                  purchased common stock in December 1999 to purchase an
                  additional $7.5 million of common stock.

         (2)      a private placement of common or preferred stock.

         (3)      establishing a credit facility to finance working capital and
                  capital expenditures for $20 million.

         (4)      calling the approximately 3.1 million warrants to be issued
                  upon completion of the planned purchase of Internet
                  Communications Corp., which could yield approximately $35
                  million in proceeds. In order to call the warrants, the share
                  price of RMI.NET common stock must exceed $13.00 for a
                  consecutive five trading-day period. Currently the conditions
                  for the call are not met.


                                       31
<PAGE>   35

Management believes its current operating funds, along with those additional
financing sources, will be sufficient to fund its cash requirements for at least
the next twelve months.

         The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities could
result in additional dilution to the Company's stockholders. In addition, the
Company will, from time to time, consider the acquisition of or investment in
complementary businesses, products, services, and technologies, and the
repurchase and retirement of debt, which might impact the Company's liquidity
requirements or cause the Company to issue additional equity or debt securities.
There can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on
terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. Should the Company be unsuccessful
in its efforts to raise capital, it may be required to modify or curtail its
plans for growth.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

         The Company does not have any derivative financial instruments as of
December 31, 1999. The Company's interest income and expense are sensitive to
changes in the general level of interest rates. In this regard, changes in
interest rates can affect the interest earned on the Company's cash equivalents.
The Company's long-term debt has fixed interest rates and the fair value of
these instruments is affected by changes in market interest rates. To mitigate
the impact of fluctuations in interest rates, the Company generally enters into
fixed rate investing and borrowing arrangements. As a result, the Company
believes that the market risk arising from holdings of its financial instruments
is not material and the fair market value of these instruments approximates
their recorded book values.

                         Report of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
RMI.NET, Inc.

    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of RMI.NET,
Inc. as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements
of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the two years in
the period ended December 31, 1999. Our audits also included the financial
statement schedule listed in the Index at page F-1. These financial statements
and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedule based on our audits.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. 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 consolidated financial position of
RMI.NET, Inc. at December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the consolidated results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended
December 31, 1999 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement
schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth
therein.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1:  NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

         RMI.NET ("the Company") is a premier nationwide e-Commerce and
communications services provider for small and medium-sized business
enterprises, as well as DSL customers and dial-up residential customers. The
Company operates more than 50 Internet points of presence ("POPs") and through
agreements with third-party providers provides Internet access to 100% of the
strategic marketing areas in the United States. The Company monitors and
controls its network through its Network Operations Center in Denver, Colorado.
The Company also offers services through its offices located in Arizona,
California, Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia, and Washington. The
Company intends to provide comprehensive nationwide communications services to
its customers, including:

         o  nationwide DSL services;
         o  dedicated Internet access;
         o  dial-up Internet access;
         o  point-to-point private line;
         o  frame-relay; and
         o  local and long distance telephone service.

The Company also offers its customers a full range of value-added Web Solutions
services, including Web site hosting, Web site production and marketing,
e-Commerce, and Web training. In addition, the Company is developing a mature
Portal/Search Engine known as Infohiway, that provides a variety of services for
Internet users.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

         The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.

USE OF ESTIMATES

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States 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 highly liquid investments with an original
maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash
equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

         Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents
and trade accounts receivable.

         The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with quality
financial institutions. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade
accounts receivable are limited due to the large number of customers and markets
which comprise the Company's customer base. The Company generally does not
require collateral and receivables are generally due within 30 days. The
provision for doubtful accounts was $2.4 million, $0.2 million and $0.2 million
for 1999, 1998, and 1997 respectively.


                                      F-8
<PAGE>   49


                                  RMI.NET, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


         The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses
approximated fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these
instruments. The difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the
Company's long-term debt is not significant.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

         The Company charges customers monthly access fees to the Internet and
recognizes the revenue in the month the access is provided. For certain
customers 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.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

         Property and equipment are stated at cost. 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.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

         The Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets,
including goodwill and covenants not to compete, under the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of
(SFAS 121). SFAS 121 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived
assets used in operations when indications of impairment are present and the
undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are
less than the assets' carrying amount. In addition, the recoverability of
goodwill is further evaluated under the provisions of APB Opinion No. 17,
Intangible Assets, based upon undiscounted cash flows. If such assets are
impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the
carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets.
Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying value or fair
value, less costs to sell.

ADVERTISING

         The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. During the years
ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, the Company incurred $1,562,000,
$268,000, and $275,000, respectively, in advertising costs.

OTHER ASSETS

         Other assets consists primarily of goodwill. The excess of the purchase
price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business acquisitions is
recorded as goodwill and is being amortized on a straight-line basis not to
exceed five years.

INCOME TAXES

         The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the
expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the
financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities
and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial
statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in
effect for the year in which the difference is expected to reverse.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

         The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans using the
intrinsic value based method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations
(APB 25). The Company has provided pro forma disclosures of net loss and loss
per share as if the fair value based method of accounting for the plans, as
prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), had been applied. Pro forma disclosures
include the effects of employee stock options granted during the period and
years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


LOSS PER SHARE

         Loss per share is presented in accordance with the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share (SFAS
128). Under SFAS 128, basic Earnings Per Share excludes dilution for potential
common stock and is computed by dividing income or loss available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
into common stock. Basic and diluted EPS are the same in 1999, 1998, and 1997,
as all potential common stock instruments are antidilutive.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133 Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133 is effective for the Company in
2001. SFAS No. 133 requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the
balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are
recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income,
depending on whether a derivative is designed as part of a hedge transaction
and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. The Company does not expect that
the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will have a material impact on its consolidated
financial statements because the Company does not currently hold any derivative
instruments.

         In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff released
Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, "Revenue Recognition." SAB 101 provides
interpretive guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of
revenue in financial statements. SAB 101 must be applied to financial statements
no later than the first fiscal quarter of 2000. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact, if any, to its current accounting policies and results of
operations. The Company does not know what impact adoption will have on its
financial position or results of operations.

MANAGEMENT'S PLANS

         The Company has incurred a net loss of approximately $24.9 million for
the year ended December 31, 1999 and anticipates incurring a net loss for the
year ended December 31, 2000. Management of the Company intends to fund this
anticipated net loss by utilizing its existing cash resources, proceeds from a
commitment letter from an investor to purchase an additional $7.5 million of the
Company's common stock, additional private placement of equity, establishing a
credit facility to finance working capital and capital expenditures for $20
million, increasing cash flows from its operations, and proceeds received from
potential exercise of the Company's approximately $3.1 million warrants to be

NOTE 4:       COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LEASE COMMITMENTS

         The Company leases operating facilities and equipment under operating
lease agreements expiring through 2005. Certain of these lease agreements
require the Company to pay operating expenses, contain renewal clauses and/or
provide for escalation of annual rentals if the lessor's operating costs
increase.

</TABLE>

In February 1997, the Company subleased one of its operating facilities. Minimum
future rentals receivable under this noncancellable operating sublease are
$99,507, covering the period through January 2001, which have not been deducted
from the above future minimum payments.

         Rent expense was $1,021,000, $496,000, and $538,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively.

LETTER OF CREDIT

         At December 31, 1999, the Company had an outstanding letter of credit
in the amount of $100,000 to be used in case of default on its main operating
facilities lease. The letter of credit was secured by $101,000 currently
invested in a money market account.

MINIMUM PURCHASE COMMITMENTS

         The Company has several agreements with its service providers whereby
it is granted certain discounts on services based on anticipated volume over
specified periods with monthly minimums.

         The Company has a service agreement with Global Crossing Bandwidth,
Inc. for Dedicated Carrier Termination, Carrier Toll Free, NOS Switched and
Dedicated, Inbound and Outbound, Calling Card, 800 PIN and International
Services through January 18, 2005. The service agreement was assumed as part of
the Company's purchase of Idealdial Corporation and was renegotiated as of
September 29, 1999. The terms of the amended agreement currently provide for an
aggregate minimum commitment of approximately $30 million subject to certain
monthly minimums. The Company's minimum monthly usage was $250,000 through
December 1999, then escalates each month to $500,000 per month in September
2000. The minimum monthly usage charge then increases to $550,000 in December
2001 until the earlier of the expiration of the agreement or when the Company
has paid an aggregate of $29.8 million in usage charges. Historically, the
Company has not met its monthly minimums and the service provider has not yet
billed the Company for its minimum amounts. However, the service provider has
waived the minimum commitments through December 31, 1999. The Company is
currently in negotiation with Global Crossing and believes it will be able to
renegotiate the commitment whereby past deficiencies will be offset by
broadening the scope of services under the commitment along with future
increases in its commitment.

         The Company has a service agreement with MCI/Worldcom for certain
network data services through August 2002. The service agreement was assumed as
part of the Company's purchase of DataXchange. The terms of the agreement
currently provide for a remaining aggregate minimum commitment of approximately
$2.4 million subject to a monthly minimum of $75,000. Historically, the Company
has met its monthly minimums.

TERMINATED MERGER FEES

         In June 1998, the Company announced it had entered into a merger
agreement to acquire 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.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         On August 6, 1999, ICC agreed to dismiss with prejudice all claims
brought in their lawsuit against the Company, and entered into a Settlement
Agreement resolving all current and future claims related to the terminated
merger. Under the Settlement Agreement, the Company made no payment of any
monies or anything of value to ICC as a result of the claims.

         On March 17, 2000, the Company again reached an agreement to acquire
ICC. However, claims by third parties unrelated to ICC allegedly arising from
the terminated 1998 merger remain outstanding. As a result of the 1998 merger
attempt and the related financing transaction, the Company incurred costs,
expenses, and related fees of $6.1 million. Of this amount, approximately $4.2
million relates to a non-cash item regarding warrants issued by the Company.

LITIGATION

         The Company is subject to litigation from time to time in the ordinary
course of business. Management does not believe any of these matters would have
a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results from
operations.

NOTE 5:  BUSINESS ALLIANCES

         The Company has entered into various contracts with unrelated entities
to enable the Company to provide customers Internet service within certain areas
of Colorado. The unrelated entities own equipment in "points of presence" (POP)
sites which the Company utilizes to provide service to customers. The Company
pays a portion of the revenues (generally 50%) generated through the use of the
unrelated parties' equipment. The contracts can be cancelled with notice and if
cancelled by the other party the Company has the right, but not the obligation,
to acquire the equipment owned by the unrelated parties. The revenues to the
Company related to these arrangements amounted to $384,475, $302,303, and
$480,951 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively,
and are included in "Communication Services" revenues in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 6:       INCOME TAXES

         Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company has
available for federal income tax purpose, a net operating loss carryforward of
approximately $32,597,000, which expires in the years 2010 through 2020. As a
result of a change of control in 1997, a portion of these loss carryforwards may
be limited pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382. Additional changes in
the ownership of the Company since that date could further limit the Company's
ability to utilize these losses. The tax effects of this and other temporary
differences related to deferred taxes were:

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



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, 1999, 1998, and 1997, are offset by the valuation
allowance.

NOTE 7:  PREFERRED STOCK

SERIES A CONVERTIBLE

         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.

         During 1998, 40,000 shares of preferred stock were converted into
common stock. No shares of Series A Stock were outstanding at anytime during
1999.

SERIES B REDEEMABLE, CONVERTIBLE

         On December 10, 1998, the Company issued 8,000 shares of its Series B
Redeemable, Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred Stock") through a
private placement to two institutional investors. The Company received $8.0
million in gross proceeds from the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock. The
Series B Preferred Stock provided for dividends at a rate of $50 per annum per
share. These dividends were cumulative and were payable semiannually commencing
May 15, 1999 and could be paid with either cash or by the Company issuing
additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock. On June 3, 1999, the Company
issued 113 shares of Series B Preferred Stock as dividends. The Series B
Preferred Stock was convertible, subject to certain restrictions, into shares of
the Company's common stock at a variable rate, based on a formula linked to the
market price at the time of conversion and did not have voting rights.

         During 1999, the Company issued 963,865 shares of common stock to the
Series B Preferred Stock Shareholders, upon conversion of 8,113 shares of Series
B Preferred Stock. No shares of Series B Preferred Stock were outstanding as of
December 31, 1999.

         Although the Company had the authority to issue up to an additional
740,400 shares of Preferred Stock, upon the full conversion of the Series B
Preferred Stock in 1999, the authorized but unissued Series B Preferred Stock
have now been retired.

         In addition, the Company issued warrants to purchase 155,000 shares of
common stock with an exercise price of $13.21, subject to adjustment,
exercisable at any time over the next five years, to the purchasers of the
Series B Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock
with an exercise price of $12.20, subject to adjustment, exercisable until
December 10, 2003, to certain brokers in connection with the transaction. The
Company registered the common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B
Preferred Stock and the exercise of the warrants pursuant to registration rights
agreements. In 1998, the Company designated $662,019 of the Series B Preferred
Stock proceeds to the value of these warrants.

NOTE 8:  COMMON STOCK TRANSACTIONS

CALL AND EXERCISE OF 1996 IPO WARRANTS

         In May of 1999, the Company exercised its right to call the unexercised
warrants that were issued in the Company's 1996 initial public offering (the
"IPO Warrants"). Primarily as a result of the call, 100% of the remaining
warrants were exercised or retired in 1999. The Company issued a total of
1,468,964 shares of common stock and received approximately $4.5 million of
proceeds upon exercise of the remaining IPO warrants. There is no remaining
obligation from the Company related to the 1996 IPO Warrants.

1997 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 issuable under this provision equates 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 the 1997 private placement, the Company agreed to
issue to the placement agent warrants to purchase units of securities, each unit
consisting of two shares of common stock and one common stock purchase warrant
for nominal consideration. The Company issued 62,100 shares of common stock and
warrants to purchase 31,050 shares of common stock to the placement agent. These
warrants have an exercise price of $4.00 per unit (consisting of two shares of
common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an
exercise price of $3.00), subject to anti-dilution provisions, and expire in
September of 2002.

         In May of 1999, the Company issued 362,285 shares of common stock upon
the exercise of 1997 private placement warrants. The exercise price of the
warrants, adjusted for dilution, was $2.56 per share. Proceeds from the exercise
of private placement warrants totaled approximately $1.2 million. As of December
31, 1999, no private placement warrants remain outstanding.

1997 STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

         On October 1, 1997, the current Chief Executive Officer 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. In August of 1999, the Company's CEO had exercised 3,950,000
warrants to purchase the Company's common stock, providing the Company with net
proceeds of $7.5 million. As of December 31, 1999, the CEO had exercised all of
his warrants.

1999 PRIVATE PLACEMENT

         In a December 1999 private placement, the Company issued the following
securities to two institutional investors, Advantage Fund II Ltd. and Koch
Investment Group Limited, for aggregate consideration of $10 million:

         o  761,610 shares of common stock;

         o  Class A Warrants to purchase 182,786 shares of common stock; and

         o  Class B Warrants to purchase a variable number of shares of common
            stock. The conversion ratio increases if the Company's stock price
            declines.

The terms of the Private Placement subscription agreement restrict the holders
from engaging in short sales and other hedging transactions. Subject to timely
notice from the Company, the common stock issued pursuant to the Private
Placement and shares issued pursuant to exercise of the Class B Warrant may be
redeemed by the Company at any time at a price equal to 120% of the five-day
average value of the underlying common stock if the Company is in compliance
with certain covenants.

         The Class A Warrants expire on December 7, 2004 and have an exercise
price of $9.8476 per share.

         The Class B Warrants become exercisable on June 4, 2000, expire on
November 26, 2002 and have an exercise price of $0.01 per share. Shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Class B Warrants are not available to
the Warrant holders until all the holders shall have sold or transferred all of
the Initial Shares to one or more unaffiliated purchasers or transferees.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The Class B Warrants are exercisable, subject to certain restrictions,
into a variable number of shares of the Company's common stock based on a
formula calculated on a quarterly basis and linked to the market price of the
common stock during a period beginning May 2000 and ending in November 2002. The
Company may also pay a redemption fee equal to 120% of the average market value
of the underlying common stock over a five-day period immediately preceding the
holder's request for redemption rather than issuing the additional shares, if
the need to issue common stock is in excess of the NASDAQ 20% limitation.

RESERVED SHARES

         The Company has reserved approximately 7.0 million shares of its common
stock for issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants and options.

NOTE 9:  BENEFIT PLANS

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 1996 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.

         In October 1997, the Company granted the Company's Chief Executive
Officer (see Note 11) 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. The options vested one year
from the date of grant. Compensation expense of $383,077 and $168,117 relating
to the nonqualified stock options was recorded during the years ended December
31, 1998, and 1997, respectively.

         The Board of Directors previously approved the 1998 Employees' Stock
Option Plan (the "1998 Employees' Plan"). The 1998 Employees' Plan currently
reserves 1.5 million shares of Common Stock for issuance over the ten-year term
of the plan. The 1998 Employees' Plan provides for the issuance of both
incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options. The 1998 Employees' Plan
provides that all options shall have a life no greater than ten years, and
leaves to the discretion of the Compensation Committee the vesting schedules for
particular option grants.

         In 1998, the stockholders of the Company approved the adoption of the
Rocky Mountain Internet, Inc. 1998 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan
(the "1998 Directors' Plan"), effective as of 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 Company was granted options
to purchase 8,500 shares of common stock, subject to certain adjustments. On
December 31,1998, options to purchase 1,500 shares of common stock vested for
each director; 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 Company (as defined in the 1998 Directors' Plan),
each outstanding option under the 1998 Directors' Plan vests immediately.

In addition, in the event of a change in control of the Company, 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 Company) 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.

         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).

         The following is a summary of the status of the Company's Incentive
Stock Option Plans at December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, and the changes during

The Black-Scholes method option valuation model was developed for use in
estimating the fair value of options which have no vesting restrictions and are
fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of
highly subjective assumptions such as expected stock price volatility. Because
the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly
different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective
input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's
opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single
measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

         The following table summarizes information about stock options under
the plans outstanding at December 31, 1999:

NOTE 13:  SEGMENT INFORMATION

         The Company's management regularly evaluates the performance of the
Company by reviewing the operating results of its two segments: Web Solutions
and Communication Services. The Company considers each division to be an
operating segment as they have separate management teams, offer different
products and services, and utilize different marketing strategies to target
different types of customers. Web Solutions provides web site production,
hosting, marketing, and data center co-location services. Communication Services
consists of dedicated and dial-up internet services and long distance and
related services. The Company believes that all telecommunications services
within this segment should be aggregated as the services contained therein are
all telecommunications related, are offered to the same class of customer, and
are regulated by similar governmental authorities.
