Land Betterment Exchange (LBX)

The Company is the holder of 250,000 LBX Tokens.  The Company purchased the LBX Tokens for the consideration of $2,000,000 of Round A Convertible Debt and 76,924 Warrant “A-2” issued to an affiliated party.  The token issuance process is undertaken by a related party, Land Betterment Corporation, and is predicated on proactive environmental stewardship and regulatory bond releases.  As of June 30, 2022, there is no market for the LBX Token and therefore the purchase price of $8 per token has been assigned for fair value. The consideration issued for the 250,000 tokens was in the form of a $2,000,000 convertible note.  Due to the lack of market or independent market level transactions, the value assigned to the LBX Token of $0 as of March 31, 2025. The intangible will be treated as an indefinite lived asset. Pursuant to ASC 350-30-35-20, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” subsequent re-evaluation of the assigned value is not permitted. However, this does not prohibit the Company from recognizing effects of future transactions of the LBX token should they occur.

Mining Permit Package

On January 3, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with a Kentucky licensed engineer to create three coal mining permits for the total payment of $75,000, payable in equal weekly installments over the course of 36 weeks. The permits will be held in the name of American Resources Corporation, a related party, or its subsidiaries, and the Company will receive an overriding royalty in the amount of the greater of $0.10 per ton or 0.20% of the gross sales price of the coal sold from the permit. The intangible will be amortized over its initial 10 year contract period.

On April 1, 2022, the Company purchased the rights to receive rental income from property located in Pike County, Kentucky.  The rental income is $2,500 per month and the consideration paid by the Company to the seller was a total of $149,150, which represents $60,000 in cash to be paid to the seller in the form of 80% of the monthly rental income until the cash consideration is paid in full, plus the issuance of $89,150 worth of shares of the Company that will be valued at the same per common share value at the consummation of a transaction that results in the Company becoming publicly traded. The intangible will be amortized over its initial 30 year contract period.

 

Coking Coal Leasing LLC

On April 15, 2022, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with ENCECo, Inc., (“ENCECo”) the sole owner and member of Coking Coal Leasing LLC (“CCL”), whereby the Company issued 236,974 shares of its Common Stock to ENCECo, Inc. for the purchase of the assets and interests in CCL. As part of this transaction, the Company, through CCL, purchased a contract to manage the electrical power account for a coal mining complex located in Perry County, Kentucky. The fee for managing this contract payable to the Company is $5,000 per month. The intangible will be treated as an indefinite lived asset as the ongoing monthly fees will continue as long as the permits remain.

 

RMC Environmental Services LLC

On August 17, 2022, the Company formed RMC Environmental Services LLC (“RMC ES”) as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company for the purpose of purchasing certain rights to operate a clean fill landfill located in Hamilton County, Indiana that pays RMC ES for each load of clean fill material that is disposed on, or removed from, the landfill. The consideration paid by the Company was $225,000 for the rights to operate this business. The intangible will be amortized over its initial 5 year contract period.

 

Heliponix LLC

On September 9, 2024, the Company entered into a royalty and unit purchase agreement and assignment agreement with eko Solutions LLC (“eko”) that provided the Company with certain royalty rights originating from a Commercialization Agreement that was previously signed between Heliponix LLC (“ANU”) and eko on June 18, 2024, which granted to eko revenue sharing and royalty rights to seed pod sales produced by ANU.  The Company also received assignment of Class B units in ANU resulting from a previously-executed Equity Award Agreement dated June 10, 2024, whereby ANU issued to eko 6,100 Class B Units.

 

The Company paid $100,000 to ANU, which thereby relieved eko from having to pay this amount to ANU. As a result of this consideration paid, eko assigned and set over to RMC 20.0% of the Pod Royalty sales (resulting from the Commercialization Agreement), and 20.0% of the Class B Units (from the Equity Award Agreement, which equates to 1,220 units). The intangible will be treated as an indefinite lived asset as the ongoing revenue sharing and royalty rights will remain in place as long as these contracts remain in place. The value of ANU’s Class B units received by the Company is considered nominal.

 

Reelement Technologies Corporation

The maximum total fees to be paid by RMC in connection with each of the deliverables and the services is an agreed-to-amount of up to $200,000. As of March 31, 2025, $25,000 has been invoiced and paid.

 

Concurrently, on September 12, 2024, the Company also entered into a Royalty Agreement with ReElement whereby RMC shall receive a royalty from the gross sales resulting from the use or license of the PGM Technology that is developed from the Technology Development Services Agreement.  This royalty is equal to 5% of the gross sales from the PGM Technology, occurring until RMC receives royalty payments amounting to the service fee, and then a 1.5% royalty occurring through the remainder of the royalty term. The intangible will be treated as an indefinite lived asset as the ongoing royalty rights will remain in place indefinitely.
