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, 2019 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" refer collectively to RMR Industrials, Inc. (“RMR”) and its wholly/majority-owned subsidiaries, RMR Aggregates, Inc., RMR Logistics, Inc., Rail Land Company, LLC, RMR Recycling, Inc., RMR Water, LLC and RMR Ready Mix, Inc.. 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 United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. 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”) Industry Guide 7, Description of Property by Issuers Engaged or to be Engaged in Significant Mining Operations (“Guide 7”), because we do not have reserves as defined under Guide 7.  Reserves are defined in Guide 7 as that part of a mineral deposit which can be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination.  The establishment of reserves under Guide 7 requires, among other things, certain spacing of exploratory drill holes to establish the required continuity of mineralization and the completion of a detailed cost or feasibility study.  Since we have no reserves as defined in Guide 7, 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 Guide 7 until such time as we demonstrate reserves in accordance with the criteria in Guide 7.

Since we have no 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 reserves and have exited the exploration stage typically capitalize these costs, and subsequently amortize them on a units-of-production basis as 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 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 reserves and therefore have not exited the exploration stage as defined in Guide 7, 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 Guide 7.  Furthermore, since we do not have 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.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A – FORMATION, CORPORATE CHANGES, AND MATERIAL MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

Online Yearbook was incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 6, 2012. Online Yearbook was a development stage company with the principal business objective of developing and marketing an online yearbook.

On November 17, 2014, Rocky Mountain Resource Holdings Inc., a Nevada Corporation (the “Purchaser”) became the majority shareholder of Online Yearbook, by acquiring 5,200,000 shares of common stock of Online Yearbook (the “Shares”), or 69.06% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, pursuant to stock purchase agreements with Messrs. El Maraana and Salah Blal. The Shares were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $357,670. The Purchaser was the source of the funds used to acquire the Shares. In connection with Online Yearbook’s receipt of approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), effective December 8, 2014, Online Yearbook amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name from “Online Yearbook” to “RMR INDUSTRIALS, INC.”

RMR Industrials, Inc. (the “Company”, “RMR”, “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.

On February 27, 2015 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into and consummated a merger transaction pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, OLYB Acquisition Corporation, a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”) and RMR IP, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“RMR IP”). In accordance with the terms of Merger Agreement, on the Closing Date, Merger Sub merged with and into RMR IP (the “Merger”), with RMR IP surviving the Merger as our wholly owned subsidiary.

RMR IP was formed to acquire and consolidate complementary industrial commodity assets through capitalizing on the volatile oil markets, down cycles in commodity markets, and other ancillary opportunities. RMR IP is focused on managing the supply chain in order to offer a large and diverse set of products and services.

For financial reporting purposes, the Merger represented a “reverse merger” rather than a business combination and RMR IP was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction. Consequently, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations reflected in the Company’s financial statements post-Merger are those of RMR IP. The Company’s assets, liabilities and results of operations have been consolidated with the assets, liabilities and results of operations of RMR IP after consummation of the Merger, and the historical financial statements of the Company before the Merger were replaced with the historical financial statements of RMR IP before the Merger in all post-Merger filings with the SEC.

On July 28, 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.

On October 12, 2016, RMR Aggregates acquired substantially all of the assets from CalX Minerals, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“CalX”) through an Asset Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, RMR Aggregates agreed to purchase, and CalX agreed to sell, substantially all of the assets associated with the Mid-Continent Quarry on 41 BLM unpatented placer mining claims in Garfield County, Colorado, including 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.

On January 3, 2017, we amended the Articles of Incorporation of RMR IP, Inc. to rename the corporation to RMR Logistics, Inc. (“RMR Logistics”). RMR Logistics operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company to provide transportation and logistics services.

During 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 on February 1, 2018. During July 2018, we exercised our option to acquire an additional approximately 150 acres for a total of 620 acres.

On April 26, 2019, RMR Logistics entered into an asset purchase agreement with H2K, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“the Seller”) pursuant to which RMR Logistics acquired the Seller’s trucking assets.

On January 1, 2020, the Company changed its name from RMR Industrials, Inc. to Rocky Mountain Industrials, Inc., (RMI).

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2019 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations.

Business Acquisitions 

When the Company acquires businesses where substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets it is not considered a business. As such, the Company accounts for these types of acquisitions as asset acquisitions. When substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is not concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar assets and contains acquired inputs and processes which have the ability to contribute to the creation of outputs, these acquisitions are accounted for as business combinations.

The Company considers single identifiable assets as tangible assets that are attached to and cannot be physically removed and used separately from another tangible asset without incurring significant cost or significant diminution in utility or fair value. The Company considers similar assets as assets that have a similar nature and risk characteristics.

Whether the Company’s acquisitions are treated as an asset acquisition under ASC 360 or a business combination under ASC 805, the fair value of the purchase price is allocated among the assets acquired and any liabilities assumed by valuing the property as if it was vacant.  The “as-if-vacant” value is allocated to land, buildings, improvements and any liabilities, based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of such assets and liabilities as of the date of acquisition.

Upon acquisition, the Company allocates the purchase price based upon the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired. The Company allocates the purchase price to the fair value of the tangible assets. The Company values improvements at replacement cost, adjusted for depreciation. 

Management’s estimates of value are made using a comparable sales analysis of similar businesses. Factors considered by management in its analysis of include equipment types and the sales prices of comparable assets. The Company includes an estimate of property taxes in the purchase price allocation of acquisitions to account for the expected liability that was assumed. 

When above or below market leases are acquired, the Company values the intangible assets based on the present value of the difference between prevailing market rates and the in-place rates measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below market fixed rate renewal options for below market leases that are considered bargain renewal options. The above market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining term of the respective leases. The fair value of acquired below market leases, included in deferred revenue on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, is amortized as an increase to rental income on a straight-line basis over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases, plus the terms of any below market fixed rate renewal options that are considered bargain renewal options of the respective leases.

The Company capitalizes acquisition costs and due diligence costs if the asset is expected to qualify as an asset acquisition. If the asset acquisition is abandoned, the capitalized asset acquisition costs are expensed to acquisition and due diligence costs in the period of abandonment. Costs associated with a business combination are expensed to acquisition and due diligence costs as incurred.

In the event of a business combination, using information available at the time of business combination, the Company allocates the total consideration to tangible assets and liabilities and identified intangible assets and liabilities.  During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may adjust the preliminary purchase price allocations after obtaining more information about assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. 

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies presented in these footnotes conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The audited 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 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.

Revenue Recognition

As of January 1,2018, we adopted ASU NO. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606). The Company recognizes revenues, upon delivery of goods to the customer – at which time the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied at an amount that the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods in accordance with the five step analysis outlined in Topic 606: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) performance obligations are satisfied.

Revenue includes product sales of limestone, aggregate materials and other transportation charges to customers, net of discounts, allowances or taxes, as applicable.

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision-maker in making decisions regarding resource allocation and assessing performance. As of June 30, 2019, the Company views its operations and manages its business as three operating segments, Aggregates mining, Logistics and Rail Park.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid securities with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had cash of $855,977 and no cash equivalents. The Company may occasionally maintain cash balances in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The amounts are held with major financial institutions and are monitored by management to mitigate credit risk.

Restricted Cash

The Company has $112,130 in restricted cash held as cash collateral for a reclamation bond for the Bureau of Land Management and Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, to be held for the rehabilitation costs of the Mid-Continent Quarry and conclusion of the mining at this location.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company analyzes collectability based on historical payment patterns and macroeconomic factors which may affect the customers’ industry. Past due balances over 90 days based on payment terms are reviewed individually for collectability. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers. Concentration of credit risk is limited to certain customers to whom we make substantial sales. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had one large customer that accounted for approximately 34% of our accounts receivable balance and 69% of our revenue. To reduce risk, we routinely assess the financial strength of our most significant customers, using standard credit risk evaluation methods with reference to publicly available and customer supplied information, and monitor the amounts owed and take appropriate action when necessary. As a result, we believe that accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited.

Inventory

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the weighted average method.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Significant improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repair expenses are charged to operations as incurred. The straight-line method of depreciation is used for substantially all of the assets for financial reporting purposes.

Depletion of acquired mineral properties is determined pursuant to a unit-of-extraction method which provides for depletion of such costs over the productive life of the mineral properties. The unit-of-extraction rate is determined by computing the production for the period as a percentage of total estimated and recoverable limestone as of that period. Significant judgement is involved in the determination of the estimate of total recoverable limestone in the unit-of-extraction method. Our internal engineering estimates of total estimated and recoverable limestone is a key component in determination of the unit-of-extraction rate. Our estimates of the recoverable limestone may change, possibly in the near term, resulting in changes to depletion rates in future periods. During the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, depletion of mineral properties was approximately $7,992 and $10,618

We are considered an “exploration stage” company under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Industry Guide 7 as such the Company expenses any development costs as incurred.

Land Under Development

Land under development is recorded at cost. Significant improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repair expenses are charged to operations as incurred. These costs relate to the ongoing development of the Rail Park.

Lease Obligations

On April 1, 2019, we adopted FASB ASU 2016-02, Leases: (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors).  The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee.  This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively.  A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification.  Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases.

For leases in which the Company is the lessee, the Company determined that the guidance has a material impact as the Company has three operating leases for office space. Two of these leases have greater than 12 months remaining on the term of these leases at the date of the adoption of this guidance and as such the Company recorded a right of use asset and a lease liability of $491,111 at the date of adoption. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. The Company also is committed to a lease for a portable office space and for the use of a Dozer within the Company’s aggregates operation, on adoption of the new lease accounting standard the Company recorded a right of use asset and lease liability of $35,625 for these leases.

Equipment Loan

The Company has bought certain specialized mining and trucking equipment under finance terms. The financed equipment is recorded at cost at acquisition date. The straight-line method of depreciation is used for financial reporting purposes.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of a purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of the businesses acquired by the Company. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually or more often if impairment indicators are present at the reporting unit level. The Company has elected January 1st as its annual goodwill impairment assessment date. If the existence of events or circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that fair values of the reporting units are below their carrying values, the Company performs additional impairment tests during interim periods to evaluate goodwill for impairment.

Deposits

Deposits consist of a security deposit in connection with various office leases. 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Asset impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the asset. Any impairment losses are measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows and are charged to income on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups. The Company’s estimates of future cash flows are based on numerous assumptions, including expected commodity prices, production levels, capital requirements and estimated salvage values. It is possible that actual future cash flows will be significantly different than the estimates, as actual future quantities of recoverable material, future commodity prices, production levels and costs and capital are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties. As of June 30, 2019, the Company’s mineral resources do not meet the definition of proven or probable reserves or value beyond proven or probable reserves and any potential revenue has been excluded from the cash flow assumptions. Accordingly, recoverability of the long-lived assets’ capitalized cost is based primarily on estimated salvage values or alternative future uses. 

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 June 30, 2019, the Company’s undiscounted reclamation obligations totaled approximately $221,081. This obligation is expected to be settled within the next 20 years.

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 three years for a revision to the cost or a change in the estimated settlement date. Additionally, reclamation liabilities are reviewed in the period in which a triggering event occurs that would result in either a revision to the cost or a change in the estimated settlement date. Examples of events that would trigger a change in the cost include a new reclamation law or amendment to an existing mineral lease. Examples of events that would cause a change in the estimated settlement date include the acquisition of additional reserves or early or delayed closure of a site. Any affect to earnings from cost revisions is included in cost of revenue.

A reconciliation of the carrying amount of our accrued reclamation liabilities is as follows:

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 $1,059,466 and $0 as at June 30, 2019 and March 31, 2019 respectively.

Net Loss per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders 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 net loss per common share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number 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. There are no such anti-dilutive common share equivalents outstanding as June 30, 2019 which were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires, among other things, that deferred income taxes be provided for temporary differences between the tax bases of the Company's assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

A valuation allowance is recorded by the Company when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. In making such a determination, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the amount of the valuation allowance. When the Company establishes or reduces the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, its provision for income taxes will increase or decrease, respectively, in the period such determination is made.

Additionally, the Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized in the financial statements for a particular tax position is based on the largest benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement. Accordingly, the Company establishes reserves for uncertain tax positions. The Company has not recognized interest or penalties in its statement of operations and comprehensive loss since inception.

Non-controlling Interests

The Company’s non-controlling interests are interests in RMR Aggregates, Inc. not owned by the Company. The Company evaluates whether non-controlling interests are subject to redemption features outside of its control. The amounts reported for non-controlling interests on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations represent the portion of income or losses not attributable to the Company.

NOTE C – GOING CONCERN

The Company's financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. Under the going concern assumption, an entity is ordinarily viewed as continuing in business for the foreseeable future with neither the intention nor the necessity of liquidation, ceasing trading, or seeking protection from creditors pursuant to applicable laws and regulations. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are recorded on the basis that the entity will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company does not have sufficient cash or other current assets, nor does it have an established and adequate source of revenues, to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. As a result, the Company’s auditors issued a going concern opinion for the financial statements at March 31, 2019.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the business plan and eventually attain profitable operations. During the next year, the Company’s foreseeable cash requirements will relate to continual development of the operations of its business, maintaining its good standing and making the requisite filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the payment of expenses associated with research and development. The Company may experience a cash shortfall and be required to raise additional capital.

Historically, the Company has mostly relied upon funds from the sale of shares of stock and from acquiring loans to finance its operations and growth. Management may raise additional capital through future public or private offerings of the Company’s stock or through loans from private investors, although there can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain such financing. The Company’s failure to do so could have a material and adverse effect upon it and its shareholders.

In the past year, the Company funded operations by using cash proceeds received through the issuance of common and preferred stock and proceeds from debt financing. For the coming year, the Company plans to continue to fund the Company through debt and securities sales and issuances until the company generates enough revenues through the operations as stated above.

The Company is currently working through a number of opportunities to ensure the business will continue as a going concern. These include:

NOTE D – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts Receivable at June 30, 2019 was $241,273 compared to $102,870 at March 31, 2019. The increase is due to a increase in production and product demand. No allowance is recorded, as all items are current.

NOTE N – SEGMENT REPORTING

Rocky Mountain Industrials, Inc (RMI) has three reportable segments: aggregates, logistics and Rail Park. The aggregates segment produces chemical grade lime for use in the aggregates market. The logistics segment is in the process of developing a rail access delivery location and will generate sales through a combination of land sales as well as lease income and Rail services. The Rail Park segment will require significant future capital injections before the segment will start generating recurring revenue. The Company expects that the rail park development will conclude late in the Company’s 2021 financial year or early in the Company’s 2022 financial year. The aggregates segment relied significantly on sales to the West Elk Mine for the period ended June 30, 2019. The sales to the West Elk Mine contributed 69% of revenue to this segment.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. RMI evaluates performance based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes not including nonrecurring gains and losses.

RMI accounts for intersegment sales and transfers as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, that is, at current market prices.

RMI’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each business requires different technology and marketing strategies.

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 on August 6, 2012 under the name “Online Yearbook” with the principal business objective of developing and marketing online yearbooks for schools, companies, and government agencies.

On November 17, 2014, Rocky Mountain Resource Holdings, Inc. (“RMR”) became our majority shareholder by acquiring 5,200,000 shares of our common stock (the “Shares”), or 69.06% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock, 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.

On December 8, 2014, we changed our name to “RMR Industrials, Inc.” in connection with a change in our business plan.

RMR Industrials, Inc. (“we”, “us”, the “Company” or “RMR”) is dedicated to operating industrial assets in the United States which include minerals, materials, and services. Our vision is to become a key provider of industrial materials and services in the Rocky Mountain region. We have a strategy to own, operate, develop, acquire and vertically integrate complementary industrial businesses.

On February 27, 2015 (the “Closing Date”), we entered into and consummated a merger transaction pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, OLYB Acquisition Corporation, a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and RMR IP, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“RMR IP”). In accordance with the terms of Merger Agreement, on the Closing Date, Merger Sub merged with and into RMR IP (the “Merger”), with RMR IP surviving the Merger as our wholly owned subsidiary. Chad Brownstein and Gregory M. Dangler are directors of the Company and co-owners of RMRH, which was the majority shareholder of the Company prior to the Merger. Additionally, Messrs. Brownstein and Dangler were indirect controlling shareholders and directors of RMR IP prior to the Merger. As such, the Merger was among entities under the common control of Messrs. Brownstein and Dangler.

On July 28, 2016, we formed RMR Aggregates, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“RMR Aggregates”), as our wholly owned subsidiary. RMR Aggregates was formed to hold assets primarily relating to the mining and processing of industrial minerals for the manufacturing, construction, and agriculture sectors.  These minerals include limestone, aggregates, marble, silica, barite, and sand.

On October 12, 2016, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement with CalX Minerals, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“CalX”), we completed the purchase of substantially all of the assets associated with the business of operating the Mid-Continent Limestone 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. The acquisition of these CalX assets will promote the development and implementation of the Company’s limestone mining operations in Colorado. 

During 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 (“Rail Park”). Rail Land Company purchased 620 acres of real estate located in Bennett, Colorado. The Company’s development of the Rail Park is intended to expand the Company’s 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.

On April 26, 2019 RMR Logistics entered into an asset Purchase agreement with H2K, LLC, a Colorado Limited Liability Company (“the Seller”) pursuant to which RMR Logistics acquired the sellers trucking assets.

On January 1, 2020 we changed our name to “Rocky Mountain Industrials, Inc.” in connection with a change in our business plan.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018

Revenues

Our revenues for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 were $477,724. This compares to revenue for the same period ended June 30, 2018 of $329,614. The increase in revenues were driven by the increased tons sold from the Company’s Glenwood Springs mine.

Cost of Goods Sold

Our cost of goods sold for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 were $421,300 This compares to cost of goods sold for the same period ended June 30, 2018 of $319,854. The increase in costs related to increased production during the year. 

Operating Expenses 

Our operating expenses for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 were $2,927,187. This compares to operating expenses for the same periods ended June 30, 2018 of $1,411,849. Operating expenses consisted of overhead costs related to mining operations, consulting services from related parties, public company costs, salaries and wages, and depreciation and amortization. The increase was due to increased head count coupled with costs incurred by the Company in relation to the Company’s rail park development.

Interest Expense (Income), net 

Our interest expense, net for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 was $83,579, compared to $235,775 of interest expense for the same period ended June 30, 2019. The $2,250,000 note payable issued to an accredited investor in October 2016 was paid off on October 3, 2018.

Net Loss Attributable to Rocky Mountain Industrials, Inc.

Our net loss for the three-month period ended June 30, 2019 was $2,936,342. This compares to a net loss for the same period ended June 30, 2018 of $1,637,864.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2019, we had current assets of $1,376,373, total current liabilities of $4,745,626 and working capital deficiency of $3,369,253. We have incurred an accumulated loss of $38,217,961 since inception. Our independent auditors issued an audit opinion for our financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern due to our limited liquidity and our lack of revenues.

We will be seeking additional capital to execute our business plan and reach positive cash flow from operations. Our base monthly expenses are approximately $200,000 per month. As evidenced by approximately $1.2 million of our current liabilities being owed to related parties, we have relied historically on related parties to sustain the Company’s operations. In order to successfully execute our business plan, the net proceeds of a $10-20 million offering will be required to finance our planned acquisition and for general working capital purposes.

We do not generate adequate cash flows to support our existing operations. Moreover, the historical and existing capital structure is not adequate to fund our planned growth. Our current cash requirements are significant due to our business plan which contemplates future acquisitions. We anticipate generating losses at least through the 2020 fiscal year. We anticipate that we will be able to raise sufficient amounts of working capital in the near term through debt or equity offerings as may be required to meet short-term obligations.

Other than as stated above, we currently do not have any arrangements for additional financing, and we may not be able to obtain financing when required. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing, a successful marketing and promotion program, and, further in the future, achieving a profitable level of operations. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.   We will require additional funds to maintain our reporting status with the SEC and remain in good standing with the state of Nevada. There are no assurances that we will be able to raise the required working capital on favorable terms, in a timely manner or at all. Any failure to secure additional financing may force us to modify our business plan. In addition, we cannot be assured of profitability in the future.

Going Concern

We have incurred net losses since our inception on October 15, 2014 through June 30, 2019 totaling $38,217,961 and have completed the preliminary stages of our business plan.  We anticipate incurring additional losses before realizing any revenues and will depend on additional financing in order to meet our continuing obligations and ultimately to attain profitability.  Our ability to obtain additional financing, whether through the issuance of additional equity or through the assumption of debt, is uncertain.  Accordingly, our independent auditors’ report on our financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019 includes an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern, including additional information contained in the notes to our financial statements describing the circumstances leading to this disclosure.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty about our ability to continue our business.

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 June 30, 2019, 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. Accordingly, we did not perform timely and sufficient internal or external review of our current fiscal year financial reporting, which resulted in untimely financial statement filings.

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 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 June 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
