      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND 1997

NOTE 1 - INTERIM PERIODS

The unaudited information  has been prepared on the  same basis  as the  
annual  financial  statements  and, in  the  opinion  of  the Company's   
management reflects  normal recurring adjustments necessary for a  fair 
presentation  of the information  for  the periods presented.

Certain  information  and  footnote  disclosures  normally  included in 
financial statements  prepared  in  accordance with  generally accepted   
accounting  principles have  been omitted.  These financial  statements  
should be  read in conjunction with the financial  statements and notes 
thereto  included in  the Company's Form  10-KSB  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 1997.

Certain   reclassifications  have  been  made   to  the  1997 financial 
statements to conform to 1998 presentations.

The results of operations for the nine month periods ended September 30,  
1998 and 1997 are not necessarily  indicative  of operating  results for 
the full year.


NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of  
Avani International Group, Inc. (the 'Company')  and its  wholly  owned  
subsidiaries.   All  material  intercompany  balances  and intercompany 
transactions have been eliminated.

NOTE 3 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 
('SFAS'),  Comprehensive  Income for the first quarter  of fiscal  year  
1998.  Comprehensive income is  a  more  inclusive financial  reporting  
methodology that includes disclosure of certain  financial  information 
that historically has not been recognized  in  the  calculation of  net  
income.   Comprehensive income (loss), representing  foreign   currency   
translation adjustments for the nine months ended September 30,1998 and 
1997 was $98,638 and $(17,786).

                          -8-

NOTE 4 - MAJOR CUSTOMER AND SUPPLIER

The Company sells a substantial portion of its products to one customer.   
During the nine months ended September 30,1998  and 1997, sales to this 
customer aggregated $89,294 and $170,498.  At September  30,  1998  and 
1997, amounts  due  from  this  customer  included  in  trade  accounts 
receivable were $62,446 and $-0-.

During the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and  1997,  the Company 
purchased approximately 49% and 36% of its materials from one supplier.  
At September 30, 1998 and  1997 amounts due to that supplier were  $-0-  
and  $-0-.  If  the  supplier  ceased  doing business with the Company, 
management believes that other sources of materials are available.

                   PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
                                
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis.
The following  discusses the financial  results and  position  of  the 
consolidated accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries 
for the periods indicated.

Results of Operations

Revenues  for  the  three  and  nine  months  ended  September  30, were 
$171,281 and $422,893, respectively, compared  with $99,918 and $379,968 
for the same periods in  1997. The increase of 11.30% for the nine month 
period in 1998 was due to the increase in local sales of its five gallon  
and  PET bottles, and the commencement of shipments to  foreign  markets 
other  than Taiwan  which  occurred in September  1998. The increase was  
partially offset by a reduction in sales to the Company's major customer 
in Taiwan.   Revenues for  the  nine month  period  in 1998 consisted of 
$384,168 in water and supply sales  (an increase of  8.93% from $352,628  
for the prior period), $9,686 in cooler and equipment sales (an increase 
of 2.33% from $9,465 for the prior period) and $29,039 in cooler rentals  
(an  increase of 62.46% from $17,875 for the prior period). Of the total 
revenue for the nine  month period in  1998, $89,294 (or 23.24% of total 
water sales) represented  sales  to a Taiwan  distributor.  This  amount 
represents  a  decrease  of  47.63%  from   sales  of  $170,498  to  the 
distributor for the prior period.  Interest income  earned on investment  
of  cash totaled $13,822 for the nine month period in 1998  representing  
an  increase of 1.22% from $13,656  for  the prior period.  The decrease 
is a result of the reduction of  available cash.  

Cost  of  sales  for  the three and nine month  periods  in 1998 totaled  
$124,268 and $318,848, respectively, compared with $84,943  and $295,126 
for the same periods in 1997.  The increase of  8.04% for the nine month 
period and the increase for the three  month  period in 1998 is a result 
of an increase of sales for  the period. Cost of goods sold for the nine  
month period as a percentage of sales  decreased by 2.27% from 77.67% to
75.40%  due  to the lower  cost  of  sales  associated with  its  gallon 
bottles.  Cost of sales for the nine month period  in  1998 consisted of 
$253,297  in  bottled water, supplies, coolers and related equipment (an 
increase of 7.53% from  $235,552  for the  prior  period) and $65,551 in 
depreciation (an increase  of 10.03% from $59,574 for the prior period). 
Gross profit for the three and nine month periods  in  1998  was $47,013  
and  $104,045, respectively,  compared  with $14,975 and $84,842 for the
same periods in 1997. The increase  for the nine  month  period  in 1998 
was due to  the higher  margins associated  with its five gallon bottles 
contrasted with lower margins for overseas sales of PET bottles.

General  and  administrative  expenses   which  includes  administrative
salaries and overhead  for  the  three and  nine  month periods in  1998  
totaled $185,454 and $670,771, respectively, compared with  $252,881 and 
$593,101 for the same periods  in  1997.  The increase of 13.10% for the 
nine month period  is  due  to principally  increased professional fees, 
printing and general office expense. Marketing expenses totaled $392,644  
for the  nine  month period in 1998  representing an  increase of 43.04% 
from $274,491  for the  prior period. The increase in marketing expenses 
is  due   principally  to  one  time  costs  related  to  the  Company's 
sponsorship of the Los Angeles Marathon and the Vancouver Marathon,  and   
certain television advertising. Interest expense in connection with  the 
Company's  real estate totaled $30,180 for the nine month period in 1998 
representing a decrease of 13% from $34,690  for  the prior  period. Net 
loss for the  three  and nine  month periods in 1998  was  $236,973  and  
$971,504, respectively, compared with  a  loss  of $392,134 and $813,741 
for the prior periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since its inception  through  December 31, 1997, the  Company has raised 
approximately $4,300,000 from the private placement of its  common stock 
(net of offering costs). The Company has used these proceeds to fund the 
construction of  its  manufacturing facilities  and  its working capital 
requirements.  Through  the third  quarter  of  1998, the Company raised  
$1,616,670   in additional  proceeds  (net of offering costs)  from  the  
private placement  of  its common stock. In addition, during  the  first
quarter of 1998, the  Company repurchased 400,000 shares of common stock 
at $1.00 per share from certain shareholders.

As  of September 30, 1998, the Company has working capital in the amount  
of  $404,638.  The  Company  is  uncertain as  to  when it  will achieve
