| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 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. These consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity.
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 revenue 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, allowance 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 December 31, 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 December 31, 2019, the Company had cash of $251,016 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 $206,365 in restricted cash held as cash collateral for a reclamation bond for the Bureau of Land Management and Colorado Division of reclamation, mining’s, 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 December 31, 2019, the Company had one large customer that accounted for approximately 15% of our accounts receivable balance and 45% 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 December 31, 2019 and 2018, depletion of mineral properties was approximately $7,000 and $9,300.
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 December 31, 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 December 31, 2019, the Company’s undiscounted reclamation obligations totaled approximately $222,081. 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:
Balance at April 1, 2019

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 $2,496,142 and $0 as at December 31, 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 December 31, 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. On December 3, 2019, an accredited investor owning 5,263 shares of RMR Aggregates common stock elected to convert its common stock of RMR Aggregates in to 166,667 shares of RMRI Class B common stock, pursuant to an Equity Conversion Agreement between the accredited investor, RMR Aggregates and RMRI. Upon conversion, RMR Aggregates became a wholly owned subsidiary of RMRI. |
