CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements.” Forward-looking statements may include our statements regarding our goals, beliefs, strategies, objectives, plan, including product and service developments, future financial conditions, results or projections or current expectations. Such forward-looking statements may be identified by, among other things, the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plan,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “predicts,” “anticipates,” “continues,” or “potential,” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We remind readers that forward-looking statements are merely predictions and therefore inherently subject to uncertainties and other factors and involve known and unknown risks that could cause the actual results, performance, levels of activity, or our achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance, levels of activity, achievements, or industry results, expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such uncertainties and risks include those discussed in the “Risk Factors” and similar sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2023 and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, all of which are incorporated by reference herein. Forward-looking statements appear in Item 2 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” as well as elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Our management has included projections and estimates in this Form 10-Q, which are based primarily on management’s experience in the industry, assessments of our results of operations, discussions and negotiations with third parties and a review of information filed by our competitors with the SEC or otherwise publicly available. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. We disclaim any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events except as otherwise required by law.
Unless otherwise specified or required by context, as used in this Report, the terms “we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company” refers collectively to Rocky Mountain Industrials, Inc., (“RMI”) formerly RMR, Industrials, Inc., and its wholly/majority-owned subsidiaries, RMR Aggregates, Inc., RMR Logistics, Inc., and Rail Land Company, LLC. Unless otherwise indicated, the term “common stock” refers to shares of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.
Our financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP).

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING EXPLORATION STAGE STATUS
AND USE OF CERTAIN MINING TERMS
We are considered an “exploration stage” company under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation S-K 1300, Disclosure by Registrants Engaged or to be Engaged in Mining Operations (“S-K 1300”), because we do not have mineral reserves as defined under S-K 1300. Mineral reserves are defined in S-K 1300 as that part of a measured mineral resource which can be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the mineral reserve determination. The establishment of a mineral resource under S-K 1300 is, among other things, a concentration or occurrence of material of economic interest in or on the Earth's crust in such form, grade or quality, and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for economic extraction. A mineral resource is a reasonable estimate of mineralization, taking into account relevant factors such as cut-off grade, likely mining dimensions, location or continuity, that, with the assumed and justifiable technical and economic conditions, is likely to, in whole or in part, become economically extractable. It is not merely an inventory of all mineralization drilled or sampled. Since we have no mineral reserves as defined in S-K 1300, we have not exited the exploration stage and continue to report our financial information as an exploration stage entity as required under relevant accounting principles. We will remain an exploration stage company under S-K 1300 until such time as we demonstrate mineral reserves in accordance with the criteria in S-K 1300.
Since we have no mineral reserves, we will expense all mine construction costs, even though these expenditures are expected to have a future economic benefit in excess of one year. We will also expense our reclamation and remediation costs at the time the obligation is incurred. Companies that have mineral reserves and have exited the exploration stage typically capitalize these costs, and subsequently amortize them on a units-of-production basis as mineral reserves are mined, with the resulting depletion charge allocated to inventory, and then to cost of sales as the inventory is sold. As a result of these and other differences, our financial statements will not be comparable to the financial statements of mining companies that have established mineral reserves and have exited the exploration stage.
We use certain terms in this report such as “production,” “mining or processing activities,” and “mine construction.” Production means the estimated quantities (tonnage) delivered or shipped to our customers, which may result in disclosure of related limestone and dolomite sales. Mining or processing activities means the process of extracting limestone and dolomite from the earth and treating that material. Mine construction means work carried out to access areas in the mine containing limestone and dolomite, which principally includes road construction, ramp construction and ancillary activities. We use these terms in this report since we believe they are necessary and helpful for the reader to understand our business and operations. However, we caution you that we do not have mineral reserves and therefore have not exited the exploration stage as defined in S-K 1300, and our use of the terminology described above is not intended to indicate that we have established reserves or have exited the exploration stage for purposes of S-K 1300. Furthermore, since we do not have mineral reserves, we cannot provide any indication or assurance as to how long we will likely continue mining activities at our mine site or whether such activities will be profitable.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN INDUSTRIALS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION
On January 1, 2020, the Company changed its name from RMR Industrials, Inc. to Rocky Mountain Industrials, Inc.
Rocky Mountain Industrials, Inc. (the “Company”, “RMI”, “we”, “our”, “us”) seeks to acquire and consolidate complementary industrial assets. RMI’s consolidation strategy is to assemble a portfolio of mature and value-add industrial commodities businesses to generate scalable enterprises with a broad portfolio of products and services addressing a common and stable customer base.
Through our wholly owned subsidiary, RMR Aggregates, Inc. (“RMR Aggregates”), we operate the Mid-Continent Quarry in Garfield County, Colorado, producing chemical-grade calcium carbonate that currently services local and regional customers in a variety of end markets, including but not limited to mining, manufacturing, construction, and agriculture.
Through our wholly owned subsidiary, Rail Land Company, LLC (“Rail Land Company”), we are actively developing Rocky Mountain Rail Park (the “Rail Park”), a dedicated rail-served industrial business park serving the greater Denver market. The Company’s development of the Rail Park is intended to expand the customer base for our products by utilizing rail freight capabilities to reach customers in the greater Denver area and by expanding our business to include rail transportation solutions and services.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2023, (“2023 Form 10-K”) and should be read in conjunction with such consolidated financial statements and related notes. The 2023 year end consolidated balance sheet data included in the Form 10-Q filing was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements in our 2023 Form 10-K, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The following notes to these interim consolidated financial statements highlight significant changes to the notes included in the March 31, 2023 audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2023 Form 10-K and present interim disclosures as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial condition and results of operations of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, where intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Management considers many factors in selecting appropriate financial accounting policies and controls, and in developing the estimates and assumptions that are used in the preparation of these financial statements. Management must apply significant judgment in this process. In addition, other factors may affect estimates, including: expected business and operational changes, sensitivity and volatility associated with the assumptions used in developing estimates, and
10
whether historical trends are expected to be representative of future trends. The estimation process may yield a range of potentially reasonable estimates of the ultimate future outcomes and management must select an amount that falls within that range of reasonable estimates. Although these estimates are based on the Company’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately materially differ from those estimated amounts and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that could be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial assets are marked to bid prices and financial liabilities are marked to offer prices. Fair value measurements do not include transaction costs. A fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is defined into the following three categories:
- Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
- Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or inputs that are corroborated by market data
- Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data
The fair value of notes payable was $
Earnings (loss) per Common Share
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for the potentially dilutive effects of converting stock options or restricted stock purchase rights outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average of common shares outstanding during the period and the potential dilutive effects of stock options or restricted stock purchase rights outstanding during the period determined using the treasury stock method if the effect is not anti-dilutive. In periods in which the Company reports a net loss, diluted earnings per share is the same as basic earnings per share since dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued, as their effect is anti-dilutive. Participating securities (primarily convertible preferred stock) of

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Accrued Reclamation Liability
The Company incurs reclamation liabilities as part of its mining activities. Quarry activities require the removal and relocation of significant levels of overburden to access materials of usable quantity and quality. The same overburden material is used to reclaim depleted mine areas, which must be sloped to a certain gradient and seeded to prevent erosion in the future. Reclamation methods and requirements can differ depending on the quarry and state rules and regulations in existence for certain locations. As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s undiscounted reclamation obligations totaled approximately $
Reclamation costs resulting from the normal use of long-lived assets, either owned or leased, are recognized over the period the asset is in use. The obligation, which cannot be reduced by estimated offsetting cash flows, is recorded at fair value as a liability at the obligating event date and is accreted through charges to selling, general and administrative costs, inclusive of depreciation, depletion and amortization. The fair value is based on our estimate of the cost required for a third party to perform the legally required reclamation tasks including a reasonable profit margin. This fair value is also capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the underlying asset and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset.
The mining reclamation reserve is based on management’s estimate of future cost requirements to reclaim property at its operating quarry site. Costs are estimated in current dollars and inflated until the expected time of payment using a future estimated inflation rate and then discounted back to present value using a credit-adjusted, risk-free rate on obligations of similar maturity adjusted to reflect our credit rating. The Company will review reclamation liabilities at least every

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion includes forward-looking statements for purposes of U.S. federal securities laws. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”.
Overview
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada in August 2012 under the name “Online Yearbook” with the principal business objective of developing and marketing online yearbooks for schools, companies and government agencies.
In November 2014, Rocky Mountain Resource Holdings, Inc. (“RMRH”) became our majority shareholder by acquiring 5,200,000 shares of our common stock (the “Shares”), or 69.06% of the then issued and outstanding shares, pursuant to stock purchase agreements with Messrs. El Maraana and Salah Blal, our former officers and directors. The Shares were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $357,670.
In December 2014, we changed our name to “RMR Industrials, Inc.” and on January 1, 2020, the Company changed its name from RMR Industrials, Inc. to Rocky Mountain Industrials, Inc.
In July 2016, we formed RMR Aggregates, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“RMR Aggregates”), as our wholly-owned subsidiary. RMR Aggregates was formed to hold assets whose primary focus is the mining and processing of industrial minerals for the manufacturing, construction and agriculture sectors. These minerals include limestone, aggregates, marble, silica, barite and sand.
In October 2016, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement with CalX Minerals, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“CalX”), RMR Aggregates completed the purchase of substantially all of the assets associated with the Mid-Continent Quarry on 41 BLM unpatented placer mining claims in Garfield County, Colorado. CalX assets include the mining claims, improvements, access rights, water rights, equipment, inventory, contracts, permits, certain intellectual property rights, and other tangible and intangible assets associated with the limestone mining operation.
In January 2018, the Company formed Rail Land Company, LLC (“Rail Land Company”) as a wholly-owned subsidiary to acquire and develop a rail terminal and services facility (the “Rail Park”). Rail Land Company purchased an approximately 470-acre parcel of real property located in Bennett, Colorado in February, 2018.
In July 2018 we exercised our option to acquire an additional approximately 150 acres for a total of approximately 620 acres. The Company’s development of the Rail Park is intended to expand the customer base for our products by utilizing rail freight capabilities to reach customers in the greater Denver area and by expanding our business to include rail transportation solutions and services.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the three and six months Ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022
Revenues
Our revenues for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2023 was $201,779 and $336,372. This compares to revenue for the same period ended September 30, 2022 of $288,431 and $471,581. The decrease in revenues for the three-month and six-month period ended September 30, 2023, is the result of a decrease in demand from the Company’s primary customer.
17
Cost of Goods Sold
Our cost of goods sold for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2023 was $177,992 and $317,241. This compares to cost of goods sold for the same period ended September 30, 2022 of $296,434 and $571,145. The decrease in cost of goods sold for the three-month and six-month period ended September 30, 2023 is generally the result of the decrease in revenues.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2023 were $1,042,616 and $2,241,270. This compares to operating expenses for the same period ended September 30, 2022 of $1,699,766 and $4,094,096. Selling, general and administrative expenses consisted of overhead costs related to payroll and associated benefits, consulting services from related parties, public company costs, and depreciation and amortization. The decrease is primarily related to the Company managing selling, general and administrative costs as we continue to operate in a development stage.
Interest Expense, net
Our interest expense, net for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2023 were $216,173 and $569,047, compared to $210,477 and $417,452 of interest expense for the same periods ended September 30, 2022.
Net Income/(Loss)
Our net income for the three-month and six-month period ended September 30, 2023 was $6,956,608 and $5,430,424. This compares to a net loss for the same periods ended September 30, 2022 of $1,918,246 and $4,617,021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2023, we had current assets of $9,743,673, total current liabilities of $11,540,941 and working capital deficiency of $1,797,268. We have incurred an accumulated loss of $67,544,064 since inception.
In past years, the Company funded operations by using cash proceeds received through the issuance of common and preferred stock and proceeds from debt financing. However, several significant transactions have occurred that have positively impacted the net financial position of the Company and strengthened its financial position and its ability to meet future obligation over the next 12 months without a need to raise additional funds as it has traditionally been required to do. These include:
1. | Rail Park FDP and Final Plat were unanimously approved by the Adams County Board of County Commissioners on September 1, 2020, paving the way for lot sales and construction. |
2. | On January 14, 2021, the Company sold an 83-acre lot to a Fortune 500 company for a gross sales price of $9.1M. This purchase was the first of twelve available lots in the Rail Park. Lot sales will be a primary source of cash inflows for the Company with significant interest from many potential light and heavy industrial tenants. |
3. | The RMRP Metro District bond offering closed on April 15, 2021, raising total proceeds of approximately $65.2M. These bond proceeds will fund the public infrastructure costs of the Rail Park. Total Rail Park project cost have been budgeted at between $60M and $75M of which approximately 75% is considered public infrastructure and therefore not an obligation of the Company. The Company is responsible for the remaining approximately 25%. |
4. | Construction on the south parcels of the Rail Park (approximately 150 acres) began in April 2021. The Company has in place a construction loan facility of $12M to fund its portion of construction costs (i.e., those not funded with Metro District bond proceeds). |
18
5. | To date the Company has received approximately $2M as reimbursement of “pre-construction” costs that were incurred prior to the closing of the bond offering in April. |
6. | In September 2021, the Company sold its water rights underlying the Rail Park, to the Metro District for approximately $5.9M. |
7. | In May 2022, the Company closed on a construction loan facility of $21M and a working capital facility of $2M to provide for its developer portion of the infrastructure costs of the Rail Park. |
8. | In July 2023, the Company amended its construction loan facility to increased it from $21M to $29.5M. |
9. | In August 2023, the Company sold approximately 60 acres of land under development for $13.1M. |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We do not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our net results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not Required
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness described below.
In light of the material weakness described below, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure that our condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, we believe that the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Material Weakness and Related Remediation Initiatives
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of September 30, 2023, there was a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting in that, due to budget constraints, the Company’s accounting department does not have sufficient accounting personnel (either in-house or external) necessary to ensure that complete and effective financial reporting controls are designed and implemented.
Remediation of Internal Control Deficiencies and Expenditures
We are developing a plan to address this material weakness, which includes hiring qualified accounting personnel and establishing a formal audit committee. We are uncertain at this time of the costs necessary to remediate the material weakness. Once implemented, remedial controls will have to be in place for at least several quarters before management is able to conclude that the material weakness has been remediated. We intend to continue to evaluate and strengthen our
19
internal control over financial reporting systems. These efforts require significant time and resources. If we are unable to establish adequate internal control over financial reporting systems, we may encounter difficulties in the audit or review of our financial statements by our independent registered public accounting firm, which in turn may have a material adverse effect on our ability to prepare financial statements in accordance with GAAP and to comply with our SEC reporting obligations.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
