             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          JUNE 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.

The results of operations for the six month periods ended June 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 six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997
was $(34,261) and $721. 

                                 -7-

NOTE 4 - MAJOR CUSTOMER AND SUPPLIER

The Company sells a  substantial portion of its products to one customer.  
During  the  six  months  ended  June  30, 1998  and  1997, sales to this  
customer  aggregated  $25,560  and $171,795.  At June 30, 1998  and 1997, 
amounts due  from this  customer included  in  trade  accounts receivable 
were $12,620 and $27,714.

During the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, the Company purchased 
approximately  41%  and  46% of  its  materials  from  one  supplier.  At 
June 30, 1998 and 1997 amounts due to that supplier were $2,205 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 six  months periods  ended  June 30, 1998 were 
$130,671  and  $251,612, respectively, compared  with  revenues of $130,456 
and  $280,050 for the  same  periods  in 1997.  The  decrease of 10.15% for 
the six  month  period  in  1998 was  due to  a  reduction in sales to  the  
Company's  major  customer   in  Taiwan.  The  reduction  is  a  result  of  
the  current economic   difficulties  in  that  country.   The  decrease in 
sales  to  the  customer  (the  major  portion  of  which  occurred  in the 
comparable  first  quarter  periods)  was  offset partially by the increase 
in local sales of its five gallon  and  PET  bottles (which is reflected in 
the  slight  increase  in revenues  for the  three  month  period in 1998).  
Revenues  for  the  six month period in 1998 consisted of $223,024 in water 
and supply sales (a decrease of 15.18% from $262,928 for the prior period), 
$9,267 in cooler  and  equipment  sales (an  increase of 34.07% from $6,912 
for the prior period) and $19,321 in cooler rentals (an  increase of 89.24% 
from $10,210 for the prior period). Of the  total revenue for the six month 
period in 1998, $25,560 (or 11.46% of  total water sales) represented sales 
to  a Taiwan  distributor.  This  amount   represents a  decrease of 85.12% 
from  sales  of $171,795 to the  distributor for the prior period. Interest  
income for the  period earned on  investment of cash totaled $9,527 for the 
six  month  period in  1998  representing  a decrease of 6.63% from $10,204 
for  the  prior  period.  The   decrease is  a  result of  the reduction of 
available cash.

Cost  of sales for the  three and six month period in 1998 totaled $87,941  
and  $194,580,  respectively, compared  with  $93,902 and $210,183 for the 
same periods in 1997.  The  decrease of 7.42% for the  six   month  period  
is  a result of  the  reduction  in sales  for  the  period.  The increase 
for  the three  month period is  a  result  of an incremental  increase of 
delivery expenses  related  to  the increased  sales  of  its  five gallon 
bottles.  Cost of goods  sold for the six  month  periods as  a percentage 
of sales increased  by 2.28% from 75.05% to 77.33% due principally to  the  
incremental increase of  delivery expenses.  Cost  of  sales  for  the six 
month period in  1998 consisted  of $150,760  in bottled  water, supplies, 
coolers  and related  equipment (a  decrease  of 13.87% from $175,037  for  
the prior period)  and  $43,820  in  depreciation  (an increase  of 24.68% 
from $35,146 for the prior period).  Gross  profit for the three and   six   
month  periods  in  1998 was  $42,730  and $57,032, respectively, compared 
with $36,554 and $69,867  for  the prior  periods.  No  cost of sales were 
recognized  for  the six month  period  ended  June 30, 1996. The decrease 
for the three and  six  month  periods in 1998 was due to reduced  revenue  
for  the period  coupled  with increased  delivery expenses  for  its five 
gallon bottles.

General and administrative expenses which includes administrative salaries  
and  overhead for  the six  month period totaled $485,316 which represents  
an  increase of 42.65% from $340,220 for the prior period.  This  increase 
is due to principally to increased professional fees, printing and general  
office expense.  Marketing expenses totaled $299,097  for  the  six  month  
period  in 1998 representing  an  increase  of  124% from $133,779 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.  Interest expense in connection with 
the  Company's real  estate  totaled $19,467 for the six  month  period in 
1998  representing a decrease of 20.18% from $24,390 for the prior period.  
Net loss  for the  three  and  six  month periods in  1998  fiscal  period  
was  $318,727  and  $727,381,  respectively, compared  with  $220,606  and 
$407,421 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 second  quarter of  1998,  the  Company  raised  
$1,612,400 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 June  30, 1998, the Company has working  capital in  the  amount  of 
$658,004. The  Company is uncertain as  to when it will achieve profitable  
operations. Until  such  time,  the Company intends to finance its ongoing 
operations through the private placement of its capital  stock or  through  
debt financing.   The  Company has no commitments  for any such financing.   
No assurances can be given that the  Company will be  successful  in these 
endeavors. If  the Company is unsuccessful in  these endeavors, such event 
will have a material adverse impact on the Company. 

Property, plant and  equipment, net  of accumulated  depreciation, totaled 
$1,698,353  on  June  30, 1998.   Property,  plant  and  equipment, net of  
accumulated  depreciation,  totaled  $1,752,806  on  December 31, 1997. In 
connection  with  its real  estate  properties,  as of  June 30, 1998, the  
Company has balloon mortgage payments in the aggregate amount of $431,403.
