(An Exploration Stage Enterprise) NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements presented in this report. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation. The results of operations for the six months ended April 30, 2008 and April 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). 1. Organization and summary of significant accounting policies Organization: Rocky Mountain Minerals, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on February 21, 1974, and began operations on May 19, 1978 (inception) and is considered to be a mining company in the exploratory stage and a development stage company as defined by SFAS No. 7, and since inception, has been engaged in the acquisition of mineral interests, oil and gas properties and leases, financing activities, and initiated milling of the Company's mine tailings in 1983. During the year ended October 31, 1982, the Company disposed of the majority of its then oil and gas properties. In January 1984, the Company discontinued milling. Subsequent to October 31, 1991, the Company was inactive and had limited receipts and expenditures until 2003 when the Company issued stock for an investment in a joint venture. Basis of presentation: The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred significant losses and at October 31, 2007 had minimal cash. As a development stage company, the Company relies on infusions of cash through the sale of assets held for sale, the performance of its investment in joint venture and the issuance of equity capital. As a result, substantial doubt exists about the Company's ability to continue to fund future operations using its existing resources. To meet the Company's working capital requirements, the Company or, if the such financing is undertaken following the Merger (as described below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report), New Rocky, may seek to undertake a capital raising from a variety of sources, or a partial or complete sale of our exploration interest or interests. 6 Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes thereto. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying value of assets held for sale and long-lived assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Principles of Consolidation: The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Rocky Mountain Minerals, Inc. and its subsidiary, RMMI Australia Pty Ltd. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The functional currency for the majority of the Company's operations, including the Australian operations, is the U.S. dollar. Depreciation, depletion and amortization: Depreciation was provided by the Company on the straight-line and declining balance methods. Depletion of developed mineral interests (mine dumps and tailings) was computed by the unit-of-production method based on estimated recoverable quantities of gold and silver. Undeveloped mineral interests and oil and gas properties: The Company utilized the "successful efforts" method of accounting for undeveloped mineral interests and oil and gas properties. Capitalized costs were charged to operations at the time the Company determined that no economic reserves existed. Costs of sampling and retaining undeveloped properties were charged to expense when incurred. Mineral exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, costs incurred prospectively to develop the property are capitalized as incurred and are amortized using the units of production method over the estimated life of the ore body based on estimated recoverable ounces or pounds in proven and probable reserves. Proceeds from the sale of undeveloped properties were treated as a recovery of cost. Proceeds in excess of the capitalized cost realized in the sale of any such properties, if any, were to be recognized as gain to the extent of the excess. Income taxes: The Company provides for income taxes utilizing the liability approach under which deferred income taxes are provided based upon enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the taxes became payable. Cash equivalents: For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Impairment of long-lived assets: The Company evaluates the potential impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The Company annually reviews the amount of recorded long-lived assets for impairment. If the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, the Company will recognize an impairment loss in such period. 7 Concentrations of credit risk: Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with high quality financial institutions. 2. Purchase of Rochester mining properties In October 1980, the Company entered into an agreement with certain individuals, including officers and directors of the Company, whereby the Company sold each of them a certain number of shares of its common stock (1,400,000 in the aggregate); a percentage of the net profits, if any, on an accumulated basis (10.5% in the aggregate) from the operations of the mill being acquired from Rochester; and a perpetual non-participating royalty interest in the patented mining claims being acquired from Rochester (10.5% aggregate). The Company valued the shares issued under the agreements at $.28225 per share that represented approximately 60% of the quoted market "bid" price on October 28, 1980. The balance of the amount received from the "private placement" ($348,400) was deferred until closing of the agreement with Rochester, at which time, the amount deferred was credited to the total purchase price of the properties. On November 30, 1981, the Company closed the agreement with Rochester Enterprises, a Montana limited partnership, acquiring 11 patented lode mining claims, certain improvements, buildings and machinery, and certain mill tailings and mine dumps located in Montana for a purchase price totalling $3,029,765 and 2,530,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed, on a one-time basis only, to prepare and file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or a notification of exemption pursuant to Regulation A, if available, from such act at its expense to sell or otherwise dispose of any of the shares issued to Rochester under the agreement, upon the request of any one or more of the partners of Rochester. During 1987 and 1988, the Company repurchased 7.125% (aggregate) of both of the net profits and royalty interests for a total of $47,500 in cash and the issuance of 2,425,000 shares of its common stock ($.01 per share). During 1997, the Company decided to sell its remaining undeveloped mineral interests at Rochester Montana including the mine dumps and tailings. The assets have been reclassified to net assets held for sale and stated at their net realizable value resulting in a loss of $1,749,000. During 2002 and 2003 the Company sold all its interest in the thirteen patented claims, together with the dump and tailings material and equipment, that it purchased from Rochester Enterprises, Ltd. for a total of $82,000. The Company is pursuing the sale of the additional eighteen claims in the district. 3. Investment in joint ventures In April 2003 the Company acquired a 25% interest in two petroleum exploration permits, WA-329-P and WA-322-P, in the North West Shelf area of the Carnarvon Basin, offshore Western Australia, from two unlisted public companies. Mr. E. G. Albers, a former member of the Company's board and a significant shareholder, is a shareholder and director of these two public companies. 8 The area represented by the permits was approximately 356,000 acres, and the project was known as the Exmouth Joint Venture Project. In agreeing to earn a 25% interest in the project, the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of Restricted Common Stock and 19,091,550 shares of Restricted $0.015 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. The Company estimates registration costs to be $40,000. In October 2003, the Company issued an additional 10,000,000 shares of Restricted Common Stock, when taken with the previous issue aforesaid, to meet a $969,550 funding requirement associated with the interest. In May 2004 the Exmouth Joint Venture sold exploration permit WA-322-P to BHP Billiton Petroleum Limited ("BHP"). In return BHP agreed to the acquisition and processing of 3D seismic in the Joint Venture's adjacent exploration permit, WA- 329-P, as well as a $600,000 initial cash payment, a deferred cash payment of $1,100,000 contingent upon BHP drilling a well in WA-322-P, and granting an overriding royalty interest ranging from 2.75 to 3.75 percent on WA-322-P. In July 2004 the Company's 25% share of the initial cash proceeds from the BHP sale, $150,000, were offset against existing Year 2 seismic acquisition obligations pursuant to the Farmin Agreement. As a term of this arrangement the Company entered into an agreement to reacquire 10,000,000 shares of its Common Stock previously issued to Octanex NL and Strata Resources NL, the Company's Joint Venture partners, for no further outlay. In July 2005 the Exmouth Joint Venture finalized a second transaction for the sale of WA-322-P to BHP Billiton Petroleum and Apache Northwest Pty Ltd. The sale consists of the buyers becoming responsible for the terms and conditions of the WA-329-P permit, the payment of $400,000, which was received on August 9, 2005, a deferred cash payment of $1,000,000 contingent upon the drilling of a well, and the grant of an overriding royalty interest ranging from 2.75 to 3.75 percent on WA-329-P. On September 17, 2007, the Company received notice from, respectively, BHP and Apache that BHP intended to surrender, effectively, to the State of Western Australia, WA-322-P, and BHP and Apache intended to surrender, effectively, to the State of Western Australia, WA-329-P. On October 1, 2007, following the receipt of the Notice, we gave notice to Octanex and Strata to the effect that we did not wish to accept a reassignment of the Permits and, on October 3, 2007, we gave notice to BHP and Apache to the same effect. The Company has recorded an impairment loss of $107,929 at October 31, 2007. In November 2006, our wholly owned subsidiary, RMMI Australia Pty Ltd (RMMI), entered into a joint venture heads of agreement with Eagle bay Resources N.L. and Audax Resources Limited, in respect to the "Carr-Boyd Joint Venture". To earn our 51% interest in the two exploration licences, RMMI must contribute AU$1 million (the "Contribution") to the joint venture expenditures prior to September 30, 2010, and to spend at least AU$100,000 in the first six months following the execution of the Carr Boyd Agreement (this requirement has been met). RMMI also agreed to contribute at least AU$48,000 towards the joint venture expenditure for each exploration licence per permit year. 4. Note payable-related party On April 30, 2007, the Company entered into a non-negotiable convertible promissory note with Great Missenden Holdings Pty. Ltd. Pursuant to the Note, Great Missenden Holdings Pty Ltd has advanced an aggregate total of $300,000. The Note bears interest at a rate of 9% per annum, and is payable in full on June 30, 2008. The principal amount then outstanding under the Note is convertible by Great Missenden Holdings Pty Ltd at any time into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.025 per share. In addition, the Note is automatically convertible immediately prior to a merger of the Company with a wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary of the Company, into such number of shares of the Company's common stock which would result in the Lender owning 10% of the outstanding shares of the Delaware subsidiary after the merger. The Company recorded a discount on the note of $18,750 relating to the beneficial conversion feature. This discount will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt. 9 On March 19, 2008, the Company was advanced, from Great Missenden Holdings Pty Ltd, $94,000 on a basis of interest calculated monthly at a rate of 1% per month and payable quarterly in arrears. 5. Preferred stock During fiscal 1981, the stockholders voted to amend its Articles of Incorporation to authorize the issuance of preferred stock having a par value of $.05. The Board of Directors designated 44,000,000 shares of the preferred stock as $.015 cumulative convertible preferred stock (hereinafter referred to as "preferred stock"). The holders of the preferred stock are, subject to declaration, entitled to receive $.015 per share annual dividends, and $.10 per share, plus accrued but unpaid dividends, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. The dividends, which may be paid in cash, common stock or gold, are payable annually, if and when declared by the Board of Directors only from earned surplus. Cumulative dividends in arrears as of April 30, 2008 amount to $11,476,163 ($.261 per share). Each share of the preferred stock is convertible by the holder, at his option, into .4 shares of common stock. The preferred stock may be called for redemption at $.15 per share, plus accrued but unpaid dividends, either in cash, in common stock or gold. As no profit has been achieved and as no dividends have been declared, no provision has been made for unpaid dividends. (See Note 7) 6. Common stock In connection with a stock purchase agreement consummated on April 22, 1988, with Quillium Nominees Pty., Ltd. (Quillium) pursuant to which 33,333,000 shares of the Company's restricted common stock were issued, the Company agreed to prepare and file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the 33,333,000 shares issued under the agreement. This has not been performed as of April 30, 2008. On October 10, 2007, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), with Rocky Mountain Minerals (DE), Inc., a Delaware corporation ("New Rocky"), our wholly-owned subsidiary. Under the Merger Agreement, (a) holders of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (other than holders who exercise and perfect their dissenters' rights and the Company itself as a holder of treasury shares) will receive, in consideration for each share of such common stock they own, 0.195 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value, of New Rocky ("New Rocky's Common Stock") and cash in lieu of any fractional shares, and (b) holders of our preferred stock, par value $0.05 per share (other than holders who exercise and perfect their dissenters' rights and the Company itself as a holder of treasury shares) will receive, in consideration for each share of such stock they own, 0.36535 shares of New Rocky's Common Stock and cash in lieu of any fractional shares (the "Merger"). In the Merger, the Company will be merged with and into New Rocky, New Rocky will survive the Merger, and the Company will cease to exist as a separate corporate entity. The Merger will not result in any other change in our business, management, fiscal year, assets, liabilities, or location of our principal facilities. The consummation of the Merger is subject to (a) the Company's approval as New Rocky's sole shareholder, (b) the approval of the Company's shareholders in accordance with applicable provisions of the Wyoming Business Corporation Act, and (c) any and all consents, permits, authorizations, approvals, and orders deemed, in our sole discretion, to be material to consummation of the Merger, including, without limitation, an authorization of New Rocky's Common Stock for quotation on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board (the "OTCBB"), having been obtained. 10 A date for closing the Merger has not yet been determined. 7. Income taxes At April 30, 2008, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes of approximately $1,643,000. If not used to offset future taxable income, the carryforwards will expire as follows: Fiscal Year of expiration Amount 2008 $ 33,000 2010 108,000 2011 25,000 2017 125,000 2019 29,000 2020 35,000 2021 89,000 2022 135,000 2023 98,000 2024 53,000 2025 399,000 2026 28,000 2027 357,000 2028 129,000 At April 30, 2008 and April 30, 2007, total deferred tax assets and valuation allowances are as follows: April 30, 2008 April 30, 2007 -------------- -------------- Net operating loss 575,000 424,000 Write-down of assets held 612,000 612,000 Total 1,187,000 1,036,000 Less valuation allowance (1,187,000) (1,036,000) A 100% valuation allowance has been established against the deferred tax assets, as utilization of the loss carryforwards and realization of other deferred tax assets cannot be reasonably assured. 8. Basic and fully diluted loss per common share Basic and fully diluted loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the three month periods ended April 30, 2008 and April 30, 2007 and the six month periods ended April 30, 2008 and April 30, 2007, 102,176,139 shares in 2008 and 100,712,039 shares in 2007, and 68,116,833 shares for the period from May 19, 1978 through April 30, 2008. Basic and fully diluted earnings per share are the same in loss periods. 11 9. Commitments and contingencies Insurance: The Company is, to a significant degree, without insurance pertaining to various potential risks with respect to its properties, including general liability, because it is presently not able to obtain insurance for such risks at rates and on terms, which it considers reasonable. The financial position of the Company in future periods could be adversely affected if uninsured losses were to be incurred. 10. Related party transactions In fiscal 2007, the Company entered into a verbal agreement to reimburse Mr E Geoffrey Albers for office space and overhead. Total amounts paid and payable to Mr. E Geoffrey Albers for office usage during the three month period ended April 30, 2008 was $3,500, as compared to $1,879 in the same period during 2007. During 2005, the Company issued an aggregate of 6,000,000 shares of common stock to two officers of the Company for prior services valued at $180,000. In 2006, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of common stock to two officers of the Company for services during 2006 valued at $220,000. 11. Recent accounting pronouncements During the past year the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), issued several new accounting pronouncements. Following are certain of those pronouncements that may have some applicability to the Company and its subsidiary. FAS No. 157 In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, which establishes a fair value hierarchy to measure assets and liabilities, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of FAS 157 on our financial statements. FAS No. 159 In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities- including an Amendment of FAS 115, which allows an entity to choose to measure certain financial instruments and liabilities at fair value. Subsequent measurements for the financial instruments and liabilities an entity elects to fair value will be recognized in earnings. FAS 159 also establishes additional disclosure requirements. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted provided that the entity also adopts FAS No. 157. We are currently evaluating whether to adopt FAS 159 and, if adopted, the impact of such adoption. 12 FIN 48 - Public Disclosure On November 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FAS 109, which provides a financial statement recognition threshold and measurement attribute for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Under FIN 48, we may recognize 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 benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and income tax disclosures. The adoption of FIN 48 had an immaterial impact on our financial position and our results of operations. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation. General The following discussion and analysis provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company's results of operations and financial condition. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in the latest Annual Report on Form 10-K dated October 31, 2007. CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including, in particular and without limitation, statements contained herein under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause the Company's actual results, performance and achievements, whether expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, not to occur or be realized. Such forward-looking statements generally are based upon the Company's best estimates of future results, performance or achievement, based upon current conditions and the most recent results of operations.

Overview We were incorporated as a corporation under the laws of the State of Wyoming on February 21, 1974 and commenced operations on May 19, 1978. We have been engaged primarily in the acquisition, licensing, development, exploration and operation of properties that we believe may contain mineral resources. We have no proven reserves. Our business focuses on continued search of further mineral resource exploration and production properties in the U.S. and in Australia. Recapitalization and Reincorporation in Delaware Merger On October 10, 2007, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), with Rocky Mountain Minerals (DE), Inc., a Delaware corporation ("New Rocky"), our wholly-owned subsidiary. Under the Merger Agreement, (a) holders of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (other than holders who exercise and perfect their dissenters' rights and the Company itself as a holder of treasury shares) will receive, in consideration for each share of such common stock they own, 0.195 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value, of New Rocky ("New Rocky's Common Stock") and cash in lieu of any fractional shares, and (b) holders of our preferred stock, par value $0.05 per share (other than holders who exercise and perfect their dissenters' rights and the Company itself as a holder of treasury shares) will receive, in consideration for each share of such stock they own, 0.36535 shares of New Rocky's Common Stock and cash in lieu of any fractional shares (the "Merger"). 14 If the Merger is completed, we will be merged with and into New Rocky, New Rocky will survive the Merger, and we will cease to exist as a separate corporate entity. The Merger will not result in any other change in our business, management, fiscal year, assets, liabilities, or location of our principal facilities. The main purposes of the Merger are to (a) change our capital structure [to eliminate the preferred stock], and (b) change the state of our incorporation from Wyoming to Delaware. The key intended benefits of the Merger are (a) the fact that the Merger is expected to enhance our ability to undertake financings, without which we will be unable to continue our current business, and (b) the fact that investors are generally more familiar with Delaware law than Wyoming law, and Delaware law affords a greater degree of certainty to investors and corporations. The consummation of the Merger is subject to (a) our approval as New Rocky's sole shareholder, (b) the approval of our shareholders in accordance with applicable provisions of the Wyoming Business Corporation Act, and (c) any and all consents, permits, authorizations, approvals, and orders deemed, in our sole discretion, to be material to consummation of the Merger, including, without limitation, an authorization of New Rocky's Common Stock for quotation on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board (the "OTCBB"), having been obtained. A date for completion of the Merger has not yet been determined. The Merger Agreement may be terminated by our and New Rocky's mutual consent, with no liability on either party's part, except that we will be required to pay all expenses incurred in connection with the Merger, in respect of this Merger Agreement and/or relating thereto. The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007. Business Strategy Our business strategy relies on identification of locations that we believe may contain mineral resources, and undertaking exploration and, if applicable in the future, production activities in such locations, primarily through joint ventures with third parties, with the costs of such activities being shared amongst the joint venture participants. If and when we or our commercial partners prove reserves of mineral resources at any such locations, we expect to monetize our investment in their exploration through producing mineral resources at such location, jointly with our joint venture partners, or divesting of some or all of our interest in such location to a third party or third parties possessing resources that would be adequate for exploiting such reserves of mineral resources. It is likely that the terms of any such divestment would include, or be limited to, a royalty in connection with the production or sales of such mineral resources. Products Through several joint venture arrangements described in "--Status of Active Joint Venture Projects" below, we are currently exploring for sulphide hosted nickel and have previously explored for other mineral resources, including oil and gas. We have not proven any reserves of any mineral resources. We may explore for additional mineral resources in the future. 15 Status of Active Joint Venture Projects Carr-Boyd Joint Venture In December 2006, our subsidiary RMMI Australia Pty Ltd ("RMMI Australia") entered into a joint venture heads of agreement with Audax Resources Ltd ("Audax") and Eagle Bay NL ("Eagle Bay"), each an Australian Stock-Exchange listed company, (the "Carr-Boyd Agreement"), in respect of an unincorporated joint venture, referred to in this document as the "Carr-Boyd Joint Venture," for purposes of exploring and, if warranted, developing and mining sulphide hosted nickel in areas covered by two existing exploration licenses in the State of Western Australia, Australia. Under the Carr-Boyd Agreement, RMMI Australia may contribute AU$1,000,000 (the "Contribution"), to the joint venture expenditure prior to September 30, 2010 (the "Earning Period"), but agreed to spend at least AU$100,000 in the first six months following the execution of the Carr-Boyd Agreement, which has been done. RMMI Australia also agreed to contribute at least AU$48,000 towards the joint venture expenditure for each permit year, being each consecutive 12 month period from the date on which the exploration permits in respect of the tenements were granted. This contribution has been made for next permit year. If RMMI Australia fails to make the Contribution during the Earning Period, both RMMI Australia and Eagle Bay will be deemed to have withdrawn from the Carr-Boyd Joint Venture, subject to certain exceptions. Once RMMI Australia has made the Contribution during the Earning Period, RMMI Australia and Eagle Bay will be deemed to have earned the following interests in the Carr-Boyd Joint Venture: (a) 51% by RMMI Australia, and (b) 19% by Eagle Bay. Until the Contribution has been made, RMMI Australia and Eagle Bay have no interest in the Carr-Boyd Joint Venture. RMMI Australia is the manager of the Carr-Boyd Joint Venture while it is the sole contributor to the expenditure and will have sole authority for determining and carrying out all programs and budgets. Until the receipt of the Contribution, RMMI Australia is required to pay costs in connection with the Carr-Boyd property. The Carr-Boyd Joint Venture has undertaken a sampling survey on the Carr-Boyd property and has identified three areas of interest on the property. It does not expect to focus on areas outside of those areas of interest. It has been recommended that a ground electromagnetic survey be conducted over the area. The survey is not expected to be conducted this year. Australian Nickel Joint Venture On December 6, 2006, RMMI Australia and Eagle Bay entered into a joint venture heads of agreement (the "Eagle Bay Agreement") in respect of an unincorporated joint venture (the "Australian Nickel Joint Venture"), for purposes of exploring and, if warranted, developing and mining sulphide hosted nickel in the State of Western Australia, Australia. The participants in the Australian Nickel Joint Venture will each hold an effective 50% interest in the joint venture. The joint venture is actively searching for suitable nickel areas in the State of Western Australia, Australia. The joint venture has been advised that it has been tentatively successful in its application for an exploration licence in respect of the area known as "Falcon Bridge", to be formally granted once to the participants have complied with the relevant provisions of the Australian "Native (Aboriginal) Title" legislation. 16 Under the Eagle Bay Agreement, RMMI Australia's failure to meet its cash call obligations in connection with the project's expenditures will result in RMMI Australia incurring interest on the unpaid amounts and may result in its interest in the Eagle Bay Agreement being diluted. The Australian Nickel Joint Venture has not formally discussed an exploration program at this stage. Exploration Permits Our joint venture activities are conducted in reliance on exploration permits issued by the State of Western Australia, Australia. The validity and currency of such exploration permits is critical to our and our joint venture partners' ability to undertake exploration activities. As set forth in "--Australian Nickel Joint Venture" above, the Falcon Bridge exploration license has not been granted. If and when granted, it will have a five-year term and we expect its terms to require us to spend no more than AU$50,000 per annum in connection on our exploration program. The exploration licences in connection with the Carr-Boyd Joint Venture expire in July 2011. Under the terms of the licences, we are required to spend no less than AU$48,000 per annum in connection with our Carr-Boyd exploration program. Financial Condition We have not been profitable or generated significant cash flows from business operations from inception to date and have no operating revenue. We have funded our operations through financings, including issuances of stock in satisfaction or our obligations, with related parties. The following table sets forth certain relevant measures of our liquidity and capital resources: Year ended Six months October 31, 2007 April 30, 2008 (in $000, (in $000, except ratios) except ratios) -------------- -------------- Cash and cash equivalents 37 12 Working Capital (deficit) (297) (432) Current Assets 41 17 Current liabilities 338 449 Ratio of current assets to 0.12 0.038 current liabilities Stockholders' equity (deficit) * * per common share * Less than $.01 per share. Our cash has decreased from $37,000 to $12,000 from October 31, 2007 to April 30, 2008, a decrease of 68%, even following the advance of $94,000 from a related party, primarily due to exploration costs and legal costs associated with the Merger. Legal costs have been incurred during the quarter, primarily associated with the Merger and review of our 2007 Form 10-K. 17 Our current liabilities increased from $338,000 to $449,000 from October 31, 2007 to April 30, 2008, an increase of 33%, due to an increase in exploration activity. We had a working capital deficit of $432,000 and a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 0.038 as of April 30, 2008, as compared to a working capital deficit of $297,000 and a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 0.12 as of October 31, 2007, an increase in working capital deficit of 45%. These changes are primarily due to the decrease in our current assets and an increase in our current liabilities as a result of the incurrence of the costs described in "--Results of Operation" below. On April 30, 2007 we entered into a non-negotiable convertible promissory note, referred to in this document as the Convertible Note, with Great Missenden Holdings Pty Ltd ("Missenden"), an Australian proprietary limited liability company. Ernest Geoffrey Albers, our former director who retired on July 31, 2006, who is our substantial shareholder, is the majority shareholder of Missenden. Pursuant to the Convertible Note, Missenden advanced a total of $300,000 to the Company. The Convertible Note bears interest at a rate of 9% per annum, and is payable in full on June 30, 2008. The Convertible Note is automatically convertible immediately prior to the Merger described below into such number of shares of our common stock which would result in Missenden owning 1% of New Rocky's Common Stock immediately, assuming completion of the Merger, for each $30,000 of outstanding principal under the Convertible Note at the time of the Merger, up to a total of 10%. Accordingly, it is expected that, immediately prior to the Merger, the Convertible Note will be automatically converted into such number of our common stock which will result in Missenden owning 10% of New Rocky's Common Stock immediately after the Merger. As of April 30, 2008, we owed Missenden a total of approximately $391,000. No payments of principal or interest have been made on the Convertible Note during its term. Mineral resource exploration is capital intensive. Additional financings will be required both in the near and longer-term future, both to meet our financial obligations under our existing commercial agreements and other objectives. In connection with our existing commercial agreements, we expect that we will be required to meet the following financial obligations that we have under such agreements: As of April 30, 2008, our material commitments for capital expenditures under our existing agreements totalled approximately $820,000, as compared to $850,000 as of October 31, 2007, of which we expect a total of $20,000 to fall in the remainder of fiscal year ending October 31, 2008. Additionally, we expect that the total direct costs of the Merger will be approximately $300,000, of which approximately $75,000 has not yet been paid. Additionally, if shareholders dissenting from the Merger exercise their rights of appraisal, we may be required to pay significant amounts to such shareholders. In the absence of an additional financing or financings, we will not have sufficient funds to pay such amounts in connection with dissenting shareholders' appraisal rights. The financial requirements described in the preceding paragraphs of this section will have the effect of decreasing our liquidity and exhausting our cash resources within one month. We will not be able to meet such requirements without additional financings. We expect that financings totalling at least $150,000 will be required by us in the next month and financings totalling at least an additional $50,000 will be required by us in the next twelve months, to meet our working capital requirements and capital commitments. 18 To meet our working capital requirements, we or, if the such financing is undertaken following the Merger, New Rocky, may seek to undertake a capital raising from a variety of sources, or a partial or complete sale of our exploration interest or interests. Additionally, we are currently pursuing the sale of eighteen mining claims in relation to our Rochester property. There is no assurance that a financing or financings will be available to us on attractive terms or at all, particularly, given the fact that there is substantial competition for capital available for investment in the mineral resource exploration industry, and our existing capital structure (which capital structure, we believe, makes a financing prior to the Merger extremely difficult). We believe that, in the absence of the Merger, our existing capital structure makes financings extremely difficult. In particular, among other things, this is due to the fact that interests of any new equity investors would be subordinated to those of the existing holders of preferred stock, both in the event of a liquidation and, effectively, as to dividends. No dividends could be paid to holders of common stock without the holders of the cumulative preferred stock first receiving cumulative preferred dividends accrued over a number of years. We believe that these circumstances would make an equity investment in us extremely unattractive to potential investors, at least until after the Merger has been consummated. The lack of proven reserves on our part or the part of our projects also renders fund-raisings, whether before or after the Merger, extremely difficult and their success extremely uncertain. If we cannot obtain additional financings on favorable terms, our operating results and financial condition will be adversely affected, our current business will likely have to be discontinued, we may be wound-up, and you will likely be unable to recover your investment in us. Results of Operations We have not been profitable or generated significant cash flows from business operations from inception to date and have no operating revenue. We incurred net losses of approximately $129,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2008, as compared to approximately $54,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2007, an increase of 139%, and had accumulated losses of approximately $6,521,000 as of April 30, 2008. The increase in our net loss during this time frame was a result of an increase in the exploration expenses for the Carr Boyd Joint Venture and legal costs associated with the Merger and a review of our 2007 Form 10-K. The increases in our exploration expenses were incurred due to the increase in our joint venture and exploration activities in fiscal 2007. We expect that our costs will decrease substantially over the next twelve months, as we have already incurred approximately $225,000 of the $300,000 costs associated with the proposed Merger and do not expect substantial additional exploration expenditure over the next twelve months. General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $35,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007, an increase of 184%. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in Corporate activity, such as exploration on the Carr Boyd project. 19 Critical Accounting Policies Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management re-evaluates its estimates and judgments. The going concern basis of presentation assumes we will continue in operation throughout fiscal year 2008 and into the foreseeable future and will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Our auditors stipulated in their report dated February 11, 2008, as filed with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007, that they had substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty. Undeveloped Mineral Interests and Oil and Gas Properties The Company utilized the "successful efforts" method of accounting for undeveloped mineral interests and oil and gas properties. Capitalized costs were charged to operations at the time the Company determined that no economic reserves existed. Costs of sampling and retaining undeveloped properties were charged to expense when incurred. Mineral exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, costs incurred prospectively to develop the property are capitalized as incurred and are amortized using the units of production method over the estimated life of the ore body based on estimated recoverable ounces or pounds in proven and probable reserves. Proceeds from the sale of undeveloped properties were treated as a recovery of cost. Proceeds in excess of the capitalized cost realized in the sale of any such properties, if any, were to be recognized as gain to the extent of the excess. Impairment of Long-lived Assets The Company evaluates the potential impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The Company annually reviews the amount of recorded long-lived assets for impairment. If the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, the Company will recognize an impairment loss in such period. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, which establishes a fair value hierarchy to measure assets and liabilities, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing a fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which is our current fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of FAS 157 on our financial statements. 20 In February 2007, the FASB issued FAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities- including an Amendment of FAS 115, which allows an entity to choose to measure certain financial instruments and liabilities at fair value. Subsequent measurements for the financial instruments and liabilities an entity elects to fair value will be recognized in earnings. FAS 159 also establishes additional disclosure requirements. FAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, which is our current fiscal year, with early adoption permitted provided that the entity also adopts FAS No. 157. We are currently evaluating whether to adopt FAS 159 and, if adopted, the impact of such adoption. On November 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No.48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FAS 109, which provides a financial statement recognition threshold and measurement attribute for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Under FIN 48 we may recognise 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 benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon the ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and income tax disclosures. The adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on our financial position and our results of operations. Item 4T. Controls and Procedures Disclosure Controls and Procedures - ---------------------------------- As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), the Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of January 31, 2008. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, who is also our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, the Company concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting - ----------------------------------------- During the period covered by this report, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. 21 Part II.
