      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998


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, 1998.

The  results  of  operations for the three month and  nine  month
periods  ended  September 30, 1999 and 1998 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   subsidiaries.   All  material  intercompany  balances   and

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, 1999 and 1998 was  $28,458  and
$98,638.


NOTE 4 - COMMON STOCK

In  May 1999, the Company raised $700,000 from a private offering

                               Page  7

In  August  1999,  the Company completed a private  offering  and
received  $750,000  through the issuance of 3,750,000  shares  of
common  stock.    In  connection with  this  offering,  3,750,000
warrants  were  issued  to  purchase common shares at an exercise
price per share of $0.20 on or before August 12, 2000, $0.25 on or
before August 12, 2001, and $0.30 on or before August  12, 2002.

Also  in connection with these two offerings, the Company entered
into  finder's fee agreements, which provide that 725,000  shares
of  common stock will be issued at a price of $.20 per share.  In
addition the agreements provide for 725,000 warrants to be issued
to  purchase  common  shares  with  a  term of three years, at an
exercise price per share of $.20 within one year following receipt
of the funding, $.25  between one and two years following receipt
of the funding  and $.30 after two years following receipt of the
funding.

The  Company  also  issued 650,000 shares  of  common  stock  for
consulting fees at a price of $.20 per share.

NOTE 5 - MAJOR CUSTOMER AND SUPPLIER

In  each  period  the Company sold a substantial  portion  of  its
products  to  foreign  markets.   During  the  nine  months  ended
September  30,  1999,  sales to an Australian customer  aggregated
$57,100,  sales to two Japanese customers aggregated  $50,377  and
sales to a Malaysian customer aggregated $22,680.  During the nine
months  ended  September  30, 1998,  sales  to  a  major  customer
aggregated  $89,294.  At September 30, 1999 and 1997  amounts  due
from these customers included in trade accounts receivable were $0
and $62,446.

During  the  nine months ended September 30, 1999  and  1998,  the
Company purchased approximately 47% and 49% of its materials  from
one supplier.  At September 30, 1999 and 1998, amounts due to that
supplier  were  $18,000  and  $0.  If the  supplier  ceased  doing
business with the Company, management believes that other  sources
of materials are available.

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 periods ended September 30, 1999
were  $183,150  and  $479,432  respectively, compared with revenues  of
$171,281  and  $422,893 for  the same periods in  1998. The increase of
13.37% for the nine month period in 1999 was due to initiation of sales
to Australian, Japanese and Malaysian distributors, and an increase  in
local  sales  of  its five gallon bottles. Revenues for the  nine month
period  in  1999 consisted  of $456,745  in  water and supply sales (an
increase of 18.89% from $384,168 for the prior period), $4,339 in cooler
and  equipment sales (a  decrease of  55.20% from $9,686  for the prior
period) and $18,348 in cooler rentals (a decrease of 36.82% from $29,039
for the prior period).  Of  the total revenue for the nine month period
in 1999, $57,100  (or 12.50% of total water sales) represented sales to
an Australian  distributor, $50,377  (or  11.03% of  total  water sales)
represented sales to  a Japanese distributor, and $22,680 (or 5.00% of
total  water  sales) represented  sales  to  a  Malaysian distributor.
Interest income earned on investment of cash totaled $1,972 for the nine
month period in  1999  compared with $13,822 for  the prior period. The
decrease is a result  of the reduction of available cash for the period
prior to the recent private placements by the Company.

Cost  of  sales  for  the  three and  nine  month period in 1999 totaled
$105,544 and $302,074, respectively, compared with $124,268 and $318,848
for the  same  periods  in 1998. Cost of  goods  sold for the nine month
periods  as  a  percentage of  sales decreased by  12.39% from 75.40% to
63.01% due principally to a  reduction  of  sample promotions.  Cost  of
sales for the nine month period in 1999 consisted of $233,386 in bottled
water, supplies, coolers and related equipment (a decrease of 7.86% from
$253,297  for the prior period) and $68,688 in depreciation (an increase
of 4.79% from $65,551 for the prior period). Gross profit for  the three
and nine month periods  in  1999 was $77,606 and $177,358, respectively,
compared with $47,013 and $104,045 for the  prior periods.  The increase
for the  three month and  nine month periods  in  1999  was  due to  the
increase in  water sales,  partially  offset by the reduction  in cooler
rentals and sales, together with improved operating efficiencies.

General  and  administrative  expenses  which  includes administrative
salaries and overhead for the nine month period  totaled $550,286 which
represents a decrease of 17.96% from $670,771 for the prior period. This
decrease  is  due  principally to cost reduction measures implemented by
the  Company in  late  1998 and early  1999. Marketing  expenses totaled
$32,187  for the nine  month period in  1999 representing  a decrease of
91.80%  from  $392,644 for the prior period. The  decrease  in marketing



                                   Page  9



expenses  is  due  principally  to  the  reduction  of advertising  and
promotional  costs,  including 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
$25,162 for the nine month period in 1999 representing a 16.63% decrease
from $30,180 for the prior period. Net loss for the three and nine month
periods in 1999  were $156,119 and $415,813, respectively, compared with
$236,973 and $971,504 for the prior periods.

                             Year 2000 Compliance

Year 2000 compliance is the ability of computer hardware and software to
respond  to  problems   posed  by   the  fact   that  computer programs
traditionally have used two digits rather than four digits  to define an
applicable year. As a consequence, any of computer programs or equipment
using internal programs may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900
rather  than  the year 2000. This  could  result in  a system failure or
miscalculations causing interruptions of operations, including temporary
inability to send invoices or engage in normal business activities or to
operate  equipment  such as  telephone  systems, facsimile machines and
production machinery.

To date, the Company has reviewed its financial  accounting software and
system and has determined it is fully  Year 2000 compliant.  The Company
has  been  informed  by  its  suppliers  of  major  pieces of office and
manufacturing equipment that such equipment is also Year 2000 compliant.
The Company  has initiated  a review of its relationships with suppliers
and  vendors to  determine if  there will  be an impact to the Company's
operations due to a Year 2000 issue. Although the Company does rely on a
sole source vendor, most  other  items  can be obtained from alternative
sources  if a preferred supplier or vendor  is  not  able  to meet  the
Company's  needs. Because this  review is not yet completed, the Company
has not established a contingency  plan for any  vendors that may not be
Year 2000 compliant. The  Company anticipates  that using  a contingency
plan will require using alternate vendors which may not be operationally
efficient. The supplier and vendor review is anticipated to be completed
by the  second half of 1999. Costs to date and future costs of Year 2000
compliance are not significant or anticipated to be significant.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since its inception, the Company has financed its operations principally
Through  the  private  placement of  its  common  stock, and to a lesser
extent,  through  cash  flow  from  operations. During 1998, the Company
raised approximately $1,600,000 net of  offering  costs from the private
placement  of  its  common  stock. In  addition  during  the period, the
Company  repurchased  400,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share.
During 1999, the Company received  $1,450,000 from the private placement
of its common stock.

As of September 30, 1999, the Company  has working capital in the amount
of $1,382,151. The Company continues to  experience  significant losses
from  operations. During  the  last  month of 1998 and continuing to the


                                 Page  10


first  quarter  of  1999,  the  Company has  undertaken  cost reduction
measures in an effort to reduce operating losses. These measures include
personnel reductions and the elimination of certain promotional charges.
However, despite these  measures, the Company is uncertain as to when it
will achieve profitable operations.

Property, plant and  equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, totaled
$1,637,354 on September 30, 1999.  Property, plant and equipment, net of
accumulated depreciation, totaled $1,647,871 on December 31, 1998.

Forward Looking Statements. Certain of  the statements contained in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB includes  "forward  looking statements"
Within  the  meaning  of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act  of
1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"). See  the  Company's  Annual Report on
