------------------
General
NVID International, Inc. (the "Company") is a holding company the sole
material asset of which is the stock of its subsidiary, Aqua Bio Technologies,
Inc. References to the Company in this registration statement include the
activities of its subsidiary. The Company is in the business of researching,
developing and marketing water purification and disinfection products using a
technology known as ionization.
The Company was incorporated on August 20, 1984 under Delaware law as
Network Video, Inc., for the purpose of franchising video specialty stores. In
1986, it completed an initial public offering pursuant to a Registration
Statement under the Securities Act of 1933 on Form S-18. On February 17, 1988,
the Company filed Form 15, terminating its obligation to file periodic reports
with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission").
The Company discontinued its video business in 1988 because of intense
competition.
The Company conducted no business until 1994, when it entered into an
agreement with Superior Aqua Products, Inc., a Florida corporation ("Superior").
Under that agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of
Superior in exchange for the issuance of 18,281,500 shares of its common stock.
At the same time, the Company's shareholders authorized its name change to NVID
International, Inc.
The Company's administrative office is located at 28163 U.S. Highway 19
North, Suite 302, Clearwater, Florida 34621, and its telephone number is (727)
669-5256. The Company's fiscal year end is December 31.
On April 4, 1997, the Company was named as a defendant in civil litigation
brought by the Commission stemming from the actions of two Company officers
arrested for misappropriation of stockholder funds and fraud. On April 5, 1997,
the two officers and two additional members of the Company's board of directors
resigned from their positions with the Company. On April 15, 1998, following
negotiations between the Company's new management and the Commission, the
Company executed a Consent and Stipulation for Final Judgment, which was
approved on August 14, 1998, and which terminated the Commission's proceedings
against the Company.
Overview of Business
The Company develops water disinfection systems using "ionization." These
systems are based on a process that emits precise amounts of copper and silver
ions into water systems to control and remove bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeast
and algae. Uses for the Company's products include industrial, commercial and
2
<PAGE>
residential water systems, cisterns, hospitals, agriculture, marine habitats,
pools, fountains, spas and cooling towers. From simple applications like pools,
spas or fountains, to more complicated hospital infection control systems, the
Company's products are designed to meet a broad spectrum of water disinfection
requirements. In addition to water disinfection systems, the Company owns the
rights to AXEN, a non-toxic, environmentally friendly liquid disinfectant,
formulated for initial use as a surface cleaner. AXEN is also produced with
proprietary ionization technology.
There are various technologies used for disinfecting water. The
conventional technologies include chlorine, reverse osmosis, filtration,
ultraviolet light, ozone and chlorine dioxide. While all of these technologies
have beneficial attributes, they also possess significant drawbacks in terms of
cost, ease of handling and use, maintenance and long-term disinfecting
capability (commonly referred to as "residual effect"). In addition,
conventional water treatment systems often use significant amounts of chlorine,
a highly toxic and caustic chemical. Repeated studies have shown that the
toxicity of chlorine creates dangerous health and environmental hazards.
The benefits of the Company's ionization products include reduced
operating and maintenance costs resulting from a reduction of chlorine and
increased life of operating equipment.
Silver and copper have long been known for their biocidal properties -
copper for its ability to kill algae, and silver for its ability to kill a wide
range of bacteria and viruses. In fact, the characteristics of the process now
known as "ionization" were recognized in ancient Greece, where copper cups and
silver chalices were the preferred way to store drinking water. During the 19th
century, pioneers in the United States placed copper and silver coins in the
water casks attached to their wagons. The constant rocking and rolling of the
wagons released ions of copper and silver, which killed bacteria, yeast and
viruses, and helped maintain a clean water supply. More recently, NASA used
ionization technology to control bacteria for the Apollo space missions.
Ionization begins when an electric charge is applied to specially
formulated alloys of copper or silver. When electricity contacts the alloy, an
electrically charged atom called an "ion" is released. Ions, which have a
positive charge, attach to algae walls, bacteria and other particles, which have
a negative charge. The ions penetrate the foreign substances' membranes, and
eventually the foreign substances die. In killing the algae or bacteria, the
ions function much the same way as white corpuscles. They attack and kill by
attaching themselves to the cells' membranes. The dead matter then clumps
together and is carried away and filtered out of the water. Ionization is
recognized as a safe and effective method of removing bacteria and algae from
water, while avoiding the harmful side effects caused by large doses of chlorine
or other conventional water treatment chemicals.

All water systems are susceptible to growth of microorganisms. Colonies of
microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa and fungi, usually grow
within pipes, plants and tanks. Algae may also be present if the microorganisms
are exposed to sunlight. Sloughing, water pressure and grazing by protozoa
release the microorganisms into the water, where they can damage pipes and, more
seriously, expose water users to harmful - even fatal - bacteria (such as the
bacteria known as Legionella Pneumophila ("Legionella"), responsible for
Legionnaire's Disease). Chemical treatments, dosed at "safe" levels, are often
unable to cope with the freed bacteria in the time available for treatment.
Ionization is gaining recognition as the most successful and cost-effective
method of preventing the proliferation of microorganisms with minimal
environmental impact.
Industry Overview
Water purification and disinfection is a multi-billion dollar global
industry because of an increasingly limited supply of drinkable water, global
economic expansion, the increasing need for high-quality or ultra pure water by
commercial and industrial companies, heightened public health and safety
concerns relating to drinking water, and the promulgation of numerous government
regulations for water quality. The Science Advisory Board of the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") has cited water contamination as one
of the highest ranking environmental risks.
The Company believes that it has benefited from, and will benefit from,
several existing and emerging market trends, including increased consumer
emphasis on health and safety concerns relating to drinking water and water
supplies, growing demand for alternatives to chlorine-based systems and
continued promulgation of government regulations relating to water purification
and treatment.
Principal components of the water purification and disinfection industry
include the consumer, bottled water, commercial and industrial, municipal and
wastewater treatment markets. With the exception of bottled water, the Company
has products in each of these market segments. Specifically, the Company has
focused on applications for Legionella control within hospital hot water
systems, cooling tower disinfection, industrial and residential drinking water
disinfection and purification, horticultural aspects of disinfection, pool and
spa disinfection, dental waterline disinfection and hard surface disinfection
within the food processing industry.
Disinfection/Purification Technologies
The principal technologies used in the water disinfection and purification
industry include:
Filtration. Filtration is a process typically used for separating solids
4
<PAGE>
from a liquid by means of a porous substance, layers of inert material (e.g.
sand, gravel) or a membrane. The most significant drawback to filtration is the
lack of a residual effect and the limitations imposed by the size of the
filters, which can be ineffective for controlling the growth of microorganisms.
Reverse Osmosis. Reverse osmosis is a water treatment process that removes
undesirable materials from the water by using water pressure to force the water
molecules through a semi-permeable membrane. Reverse osmosis, like filtration,
has no residual effect and can be extremely expensive because of the replacement
cost of a membrane.
Chlorine. A long-standing technology for water treatment first used at the
beginning of the 20th century, chlorine remains the most widely adopted form of
water treatment in the United States. Chlorine is a relatively inexpensive gas,
which at appropriate levels, destroys most water-borne pathogens. The drawbacks
of chlorine include its high toxicity to human health, storage and handling
problems, limited residual effect, susceptibility to heat and light, and
environmental concerns.
Chlorine Dioxide. Though more expensive than chlorine, chlorine dioxide is
also more stable and retains a longer disinfecting residual than chlorine.
Chlorine dioxide, however, suffers the same logistical and handling problems as
chlorine and is also highly unstable under temperature and heat fluctuations.
Ozone. Ozone, a pale, light blue gas, has been used to treat drinking
water since the end of the 19th century. Significantly more expensive than
chlorine, ozone has highly effective germicidal properties. In addition to its
cost, however, ozone cannot be stored or transported because of its short life.
It has no residual effect.
Ultraviolet Light. Ultraviolet light is nominally more expensive than
chlorine, though it has no residual effect. It is effective against most forms
of viruses, though the equipment necessary for its use reduces its applications.
Ionization. Ionization disinfection systems were developed to overcome the
disadvantages and hazards associated with disinfection by chlorine and other
conventional water treatment systems. The contact time of silver, aided by the
synergistic effects of copper, will kill bacteria and viruses within minutes and
are completely unaffected by temperature and sunlight. Ionization is
cost-effective, non-corrosive, non-toxic, easily regulated and has a long-term
residual effect. As important, ionization technology is environmentally friendly
and creates no human health hazards. Ionized water produced by the Company's
systems is odorless, tasteless and, perhaps most importantly, ultra pure.

The Company's Products
The selection of a particular Company water disinfection system depends on
the consumer's end-use and application. The Company's product lines include
Superior Aqua Systems, Ionic Disinfection Systems and the Random Metering
System. The Company has also developed and markets AXEN, a liquid disinfectant
formulation that employs ionization technology.
Random Metering System. Traditional ionization equipment produces the same
output rate of ions, regardless of the demands placed on the water system. The
Random Metering System ("RMS") expands the application of ionization
disinfection systems by creating a separate water source to create ions outside
of the treated water stream. RMS is the only known ionization water disinfection
system which can treat large volumes of drinking water. By controlling the
off-line water flow, ions can be concentrated and injected into the treated
water based on actual demand and flow rates.
Ions produced by the RMS product do not dissipate in high temperatures.
This characteristic enables RMS products to be used specifically to prevent and
control Legionella. The Legionella organism thrives within colonies of
microorganisms, which adhere to the inside of piping distribution networks that
transport water for domestic and drinking water use. Because RMS can treat even
large volumes of water effectively, it can be used in health care and hospital
settings.
In 1998, the Company formed an alliance with EHPC Ionization, Ltd. of
London, England, ("EHPCI, Ltd.") a company with similar interests in ionization
technology. EHPCI, Ltd. holds the exclusive license from the inventors of the
RMS system to commercialize that system. EHPCI, Ltd. has entered into a
distribution and exclusive license agreement with the Company which enables the
Company to utilize RMS technology to assemble, sell, distribute and service the
RMS product line in North America.
Subsequently, with the Company's consent, EHPCI, Ltd. and Wallace &
Tiernan, a subsidiary of United States Filter Corporation, executed an agreement
allowing Wallace & Tiernan to manufacture, market and distribute the RMS
technology on a non-exclusive, global basis. Because this arrangement would
infringe on the Company's North American territory, the Company is entitled to
one-half of all licensing fees and royalties paid by Wallace & Tiernan to EHPCI,
Ltd. EHPCI Ltd. recently assigned its RMS technology rights to an affiliated
company, GWR, Ltd.
The Company has sublicensed the RMS technology to Innovative Medical
Services, Inc. ("IMS") of El Cajon, California for North American hospital
applications, including hot water disinfection and control of Legionella.
Pursuant to its license agreement with the Company, IMS will also market and
distribute RMS products to the healthcare markets in Australia, South and
Central America and Mexico. Under the terms of the license, IMS purchases the
6
<PAGE>
RMS systems from the Company and pays a royalty to the Company on each unit
sold.
Ion Disinfection System. The Ion Disinfection System ("IDS") was designed
to augment the Company's RMS product line. IDS uses ionic silver in much the
same way as the RMS system. The differences between the RMS and IDS systems are
size and dosing capabilities. While the RMS product line is designed to treat
large volumes of water with adjustable injection of ionic silver, the IDS unit
doses directly into the treated water at a constant rate depending on water
flow. The compact size of the IDS units makes them preferable for residential
and light commercial use. Target markets include cisterns, water wells,
restaurants and small to medium sized hotels. Because of the size and
performance capabilities of the IDS product line, IDS products have also been
used in emergency situations requiring potable drinking water.
Based on the operational success of the IDS system in Mexico, the Company
has entered into a distributor agreement with Mr. Frederico Rodriguez, the owner
of Aqua Bio Technologies, S.A. de C.V. Aqua Bio Technologies, S.A. de C.V. has
been incorporated under the laws of Mexico to perform distribution and marketing
functions through its dealership arrangements with Mexican distributors in the
potable wastewater and filtration industries.
Superior Aqua Systems. The Company's Superior Aqua Systems ("SAS") product
line operates in conjunction with the existing circulation system of a pool,
spa, cooling tower or hot water system. SAS products use a flow cell, which is
simply inserted into the existing water circulation system, and a control unit,
which electronically regulates the output of ions into the water. The release of
the ions maintains a long-term disinfecting residual effect regardless of heat,
sunlight or evaporation. A simple testing kit may be used to monitor subsequent
water quality. When low levels of chlorine are used with SAS, a synergistic
residual effect produces near pristine water quality at a very low cost.
SAS is proven beneficial for use in indoor and outdoor pools, fountains,
decorative ponds, cooling towers and a wide range of mid-level industrial and
agricultural applications. It is cost effective, environmentally safe and user
friendly.
AXEN. In addition to developing and marketing ionization water treatment
systems, the Company manufactures and markets the non-toxic, disinfectant
product AXEN (formerly Microsafe). AXEN formulations have been developed for
five separate market groups: (1) veterinary medicine, (2) healthcare, including
dental applications, (3) drinking water, (4) cooling towers, and (5) as a hard
surface disinfectant.
The world market for cleaning compounds is a multi-billion dollar
industry. Cleaning products may be classified broadly as household cleaners or
industrial/institutional cleaners. Household cleaners include laundry
7
<PAGE>
detergents, dish detergents and surface cleaners. Only surface cleaners are
marketed typically as having disinfectant properties.
AXEN uses ionization stabilization technology to create a liquid
disinfectant suitable for many applications, including prevention of
contamination by bacteria and viruses. The product is formulated by generating
silver ions in a citrate bath, which acts as a stabilizer for the silver. AXEN
can be produced in a liquid concentrated form and used on surfaces in food
processing plants, homes, hospitals, restaurants and public facilities to kill
bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. AXEN is cost effective to ship long
distances by container because of the high concentration levels achieved in the
manufacturing process. As a result, this allows the Company to market AXEN over
a broader geographical area.
The Company licenses the technology to corporate partners who manufacture
AXEN and maintain product inventories. IMS has signed an Agreement to
manufacture and market AXEN through the Internet, mass merchandisers,
manufacturer representatives and distributors. The Company has also entered an
Agreement with ETIH20, Inc., to manufacture and distribute AXEN in the
Southeastern United States, Costa Rica, and the Pacific Basin. Further research
and refinement of the AXEN product is being conducted by Bio Analytical
Services, Inc., Key Laboratories and ABC Research, Inc.
Distribution and Sale of Products
The Company distributes its products by licensing them for manufacture,
distribution and sale in certain geographic and niche markets to strategic
partners. The Company's products reach both domestic and international markets,
including North America, Europe, Mexico, Central and South America and the
Pacific Basin.
The Company's water disinfection systems are segmented into two general
categories: commercial and consumer. Consumer applications include potable water
supplies, pools, spas and fountains. Commercial applications include pools, spas
and fountains, as well as cooling towers, health care facilities, agriculture,
marine mammal habitats and industrial use. In addition, the Company sells AXEN
through license agreements as a household and commercial hard surface
disinfectant, for veterinary medicine applications and for dental applications.
The Company's strategy is to license its products for specific
applications in geographic areas. To date, the Company has licensed product
applications in municipal drinking water and wastewater applications, point of
entry/point of use drinking water applications, dental water lines, food
processing and health care applications.

Competitors
The markets in which the Company competes are highly competitive and most
are fragmented, with numerous regional and local participants. The Company,
however, believes it has a competitive advantage because few, if any, of its
competitors have the ionization technology found in RMS and AXEN. The Company
believes its focus on certain geographic and niche markets, and the breadth and
range of its products, will allow it to compete successfully in both domestic
and global markets. Many of the Company's competitors, such as U.S. Filter, Inc.
and Culligan, are multi-line companies with substantially greater resources than
the Company.
License Agreements
The Company has a Royalty Agreement with Mr. Andrew Arata for the AXEN
product line. Mr. Arata is the inventor of AXEN. Under the terms of the
agreement, he is paid 5% of gross revenues in perpetuity.
Wallace & Tiernan, Ltd. (UK), a subsidiary of United States Filter
Corporation, entered into an agreement with EHPCI, Ltd. for non-exclusive
worldwide manufacturing and distribution rights for the RMS system. Since the
Company held the exclusive North American license from EHPCI, Ltd. it became a
party to the agreement between EHPCI, Ltd. and Wallace & Tiernan, Ltd. Under the
terms of the worldwide agreement, the Company receives a royalty of 12 1/2% of
the gross selling price for all units sold in North America, and has the option
to purchase any RMS systems produced under private label by Wallace & Tiernan,
Ltd. for cost plus 28%. EHPCI, Ltd. recently assigned its RMS technology rights
to an affiliated company GWR, Ltd.
Under the terms of the Company's RMS License Agreement with IMS (under
which EHPCI, Ltd. is a co-licensor), the Company and EHPCI, Ltd. collectively
receive a flat license fee and a royalty of 16 1/2% of the gross manufacturing
cost for all RMS units sold by IMS. The Company is entitled to 62.5% of this
consideration.
The Company has entered a five-year manufacturing and distribution
agreement with ETIH2O to produce and sell the AXEN product line exclusively in
the country of Costa Rica and on a non-exclusive basis in the southeastern
United States, including Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky.
ETIH2O, Inc. has also signed a two-year commitment for exclusive
manufacture and non-exclusive marketing of the AXEN product for New Zealand,
Australia, Thailand, Philippines, Singapore and Malaysia. Under the terms of the
agreement, the Company receives an escalating royalty on each sale.
9
<PAGE>
Circle P Products, Inc. signed a Manufacturer's Representation Agreement
with the Company for representation of the AXEN veterinary product line. The
Company has also pursued further development of the AXEN product line through a
Licensing Agreement with EHPCI, Ltd.
The Company has entered a License Agreement with IMS for AXEN on a
worldwide basis for dental waterline applications and point of use applications.
Under the agreement, the Company receives a fifty percent (50%) flat license fee
and a 15% royalty based on the manufactured cost of AXEN sold by IMS.
Intellectual Property
Patents. All of the products developed by the Company are protected by
U.S. and PCT country patents pending. As a result, the Company has very few
direct competitors using the same technology. The Company has competitors who
use different, more conventional technologies, including chlorine, ultraviolet,
ozone, chlorine dioxide, reverse osmosis, copper and silver.
The Company has received an Official Notice of Allowance for its pending
AXEN patent application, and expects United States Letters Patent will be issued
in four to six weeks. The Company has also sought patent protection under
international treaty. The Company owns the property rights to AXEN under an
assignment from AXEN's inventor, Andrew Arrata.
Trade Secrets. Three of the four product lines carried by the Company use
trade secrets involving ionization: RMS, IDS and AXEN. Each of these products
uses the stabilization of silver ions, which normally have a shelf life of only
three to four hours. By utilizing the Company's discoveries, however, silver
ions can be stabilized for periods up to six months.
These trade secrets are significant because although there are several
alternatives to chlorine in water disinfection applications, the Company's
process is the only solution with a long-term disinfecting residual. The loss of
these trade secrets could have a material, adverse effect on the business of the
Company.
Research & Development
The Company's current research and development focuses on expanding the
applications for the Company's existing product line and licensing additional
corporate partners. Current research and development projects include RMS
applications for Legionella control in hospital settings. AXEN is being tested
for use in dental water lines, certain agricultural and horticultural
applications, municipal drinking water systems and veterinary medicine. After
EPA certification is received, the Company intends to test AXEN for hard surface
10
<PAGE>
disinfectants and for use in direct food contact (for instance, poultry and
seafood).
Government Regulation
The RMS technology has received the necessary government approvals for use
in drinking water disinfection in Mexico. AXEN formulations have been submitted
to the EPA for approval. EPA certification is expected prior to the end of the
year 2000. Upon EPA approval, AXEN will be submitted to the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for their
approval. It should be noted that the Company is presently working with both the
USDA and the FDA in related laboratory and field studies.
The USDA and the Company have entered a Trust Fund Cooperative Agreement
for a field study at the USDA facility in Athens, Georgia. The study is funded
and commenced July 1, 2000. The subject of the study is to determine the
efficacy of AXEN in replacing toxic disinfectants used in poultry production.
Additionally, at the request of the FDA, the Company submitted samples of AXEN
for testing against the Vancomycin Resistant Enterococcus virus. The Company
submitted samples and a report from an independent laboratory detailing AXEN's
efficacy against the virus. Both studies concluded the AXEN formulations were
99.9999% effective against the subject virus strains. FDA approval for AXEN as a
topical disinfectant is expected prior to the end of the year 2000.
Environmental Issues
The Company's product lines produce pesticides to treat a variety of
bacteria, viruses, fungi and pathogenic organisms. The primary biocide used in
ionization is ionic silver with trace amounts of other metals. The Company has
never received a notice or demand from any environmental authority regarding its
products. In addition, the Company has licensed the manufacture of its products
to other companies, and therefore does not require any environmental permits
itself.
Prior to 1993, the EPA set the amount of silver recommended for drinking
water at 100 parts per billion. In 1993, the EPA dropped silver from the EPA's
primary water standards, though it was retained at 100 parts per billion for the
secondary water standards that are used as guidelines by states for setting
their own standards. The EPA is expected to drop silver eventually from its
secondary standards.
The EPA is also expected to reduce the amount of Trihalomethanes allowed
in drinking water from 100 parts per billion to 80 parts per billion.
Trihalomethanes are known carcinogens formed when chlorine is combined with
organic matter found in nature. The anticipated effect of the reduction in
Trihalomethanes is a greater emphasis on technologies that reduce or eliminate
11
<PAGE>
the use of chlorine. The Company expects to gain market share in all of its
product lines as a result of a reduction in Trihalomethane levels allowed in
drinking water.
ITEM 2. - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Although the Company has been in existence for a number of years,
management's efforts to develop the Company's business have not yet resulted in
generation of significant revenues. To date, management's efforts have focused
on developing licensing relationships and promoting and conducting research and
development to demonstrate the feasibility and efficacy of the Company's
products. Until potential customers are convinced of the viability of the
Company's technology, it is unlikely that the Company will generate significant
revenue.
Assuming that the Company can raise sufficient capital to maintain its
operations, over the next 12 months the Company expects that it will continue
development of licensing relationships and will continue research and
development. In addition, the Company will need to expand its staffing
considerably over this period of time.
Cash Requirements
The Company has engaged in a number of tests and demonstrations and has
entered into license agreements with entities for the distribution of its
products. These licensing relationships are in their early stages, however, and
it is difficult to predict what revenue stream, if any, they will generate. If
the Company's licensees meet performance criteria contained in the agreements in
all respects, the Company would be receiving royalty income of approximately
$250,000 per month by the end of the year 2001.
Nevertheless, the Company does not expect its royalty stream to be
sufficient to cover costs of operations in the immediate future. The Company
expects that it will continue to be required to raise capital to fund operations
at least through the second quarter of 2001. The Company will attempt to raise
this capital by borrowing, but no lender has issued a binding commitment to the
Company. Therefore, the Company expects to engage in one or more private
placements of common stock to fund its operating needs. At present, the Company
has sufficient cash to sustain the Company for approximately five (5) months.
Therefore, the Company anticipates engaging in one or more capital raising
transactions in the immediate future.
Licensing
The Company's marketing plan calls for the creation of "flagship" accounts
and/or specific field tests to showcase the economic feasibility and efficacy of
12
<PAGE>
the products in various applications. Once completed, the Company intends to
license numerous corporate partners for specific applications. The licensing
generally will involve an initial license fee for exclusivity and an ongoing
royalty in perpetuity.
As the Company emerges from its current stage, it expects to license
entities in a broad spectrum of applications. Generally, these licenses will be
for specific applications and geographic areas and will contain mandatory
performance criteria for the licensee to maintain the license. To date, the
Company has licensed applications in municipal drinking water and wastewater
applications, point of entry/point of use drinking water applications, dental
water lines, food processing and healthcare applications. Most of the license
fees received have been and will be used to expand the scope of applications and
the geographic area for the Company's products.
Research and Development
The Company's requirements for research and development will continue into
the foreseeable future. Research and development is expected to expand the
spectrum of product applications and allow the Company to increase the number of
licenses. Current research and development is focused on specific product
applications, including Legionella control in hospital settings, dental water
lines, cut flowers, pythium control, hydroponics, cooling tower applications,
municipal drinking water systems, and veterinary applications.
Future research and development will focus on expanding specific product
applications for the AXEN and RMS product lines. These tests will be ongoing
over the next few years.
Capital Expenditures
Management does not expect to incur any significant capital expenditures
in the foreseeable future.
Staffing
The Company must increase its work force. The Company's marketing plan
does not call for building a sale force to sell to end-users but instead to
license the technology to market segment leaders with existing sales forces. The
Company will train these sales forces to sell the Company's products and to
provide technical assistance through quarterly service to the systems.
Nevertheless, the Company requires an increased sales force to sell technology
licensing agreements. Management expects to add one (1) employee during 2000 and
four (4) employees in 2001. The expected cost of these additional employees is
$50,000 in 2000 and $250,000 in 2001.

As of September 13, 2000, there were 447 owners of record of the Company's
common stock.
The Company is just emerging from a developmental stage and as such has
not declared a dividend to date. As the Company's royalty agreements come into
play during the first and second quarter of year 2001, the Company hopes to
become profitable for the first time. The nature of the Company's products
dictates a continued and increasing research and development expenditure to
expand the number of markets. Additionally, the patent expense for numerous
international patents and the certification process (EPA, FDA, USDA) in numerous
countries will continue to tax revenues. Management does not expect to declare
dividends until at least the last quarter of 2002, if ever.

ITEM 5. - INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
---------------------------------------------------
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "GCL") provides
that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other
employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified
actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in right of the corporation - a
"derivative action"), if they acted in good faith and in a manner they
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if they had
no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is
applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only
extends to expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with the
defense or settlement of such actions, and the statute requires court approval
before there can be any indemnification if the person seeking indemnification
has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not
exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation's
charter, by-laws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or
otherwise. Article VII, Section 7 of the Company's Bylaws requires the Company
to indemnify its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted under
the GCL.

NVID INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include those of NVID International, Inc.
(NVID) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Aqua Bio Technologies, Inc. (Aqua Bio),
hereafter collectively referred to as the Company. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and the instructions to Form 10-SB and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2000. The accompanying
unaudited financial statements and the notes should be read in conjunction with
the Company's audited financial statements as of December 31, 1999 contained
herein.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods
presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction
of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred
significant cumulative net operating losses. The Company continues to raise
capital and market its technologies in order to meet operational expenses.
Nevertheless, its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on
obtaining capital and financing. These factors among others may indicate that
the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern for a reasonable
period of time.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
Board of Directors and Stockholders
NVID International, Inc. and Subsidiary
Sarasota, Florida
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NVID
International, Inc. and Subsidiary (the Company) as of December 31, 1999 and
1998, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in
stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 9 to the
financial statements, the Company's significant operating losses raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's
plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note 9. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

NVID INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include those of NVID International, Inc.
(NVID) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Aqua Bio Technologies, Inc. (Aqua Bio),
hereafter collectively referred to as the Company. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Nature of Operations
NVID was incorporated on August 26, 1984 under the state laws of Delaware. Aqua
Bio (formerly d.b.a. Superior Aqua Products) was incorporated in the state of
Florida on November 7, 1991. Effective November 14, 1994, NVID issued 18,281,500
shares of its common stock in exchange for 100 percent of the issued and
outstanding common stock of Aqua Bio.
The Company is in the business of marketing and distributing electronic water
purification systems. The system contains specially designed electrodes inside
an "ion chamber". A safe, low, electronic charge is sent to the electrodes by a
solid state control unit. This produces positive charged atoms called "ions" of
copper and silver, which are concentrated to 60 ppb and injected into the
process water where they attach and kill algae, bacteria, fungus, yeast, etc.
The charged, dead microorganisms attach, forming larger particles which are
removed by the existing filtrations system. The system use is directed towards
residential, commercial, industrial, and municipal applications.
The Company maintains corporate offices in Clearwater and Sarasota, Florida.
Use of Estimates
----------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents
-----------------
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
-------------------
Accounts receivable are reported at net realizable value. there was no
allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 1999 or 1998 since all
receivables are deemed fully collectible. There are no identifiable
concentrations of credit risk related to receivables.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(concluded)
Inventory
---------
The inventory of product held for sale is carried at the lower of cost or market
value using the first-in-first-out method.
Property and Equipment
----------------------
Property and equipment is recorded at its acquistion cost. Depreciation is
provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of five
to seven years.
Maintenance and repairs of property and equipment that do not improve or extend
the life of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred. Major
renewals and betterments are treated as capital expenditures and depreciated
accordingly.
When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost of the assets and the
related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts with any gain or
loss on disposition reflected in the statement of operations.
Intangible Assets
-----------------
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization
of the license agreement is computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful life of five years. Amortization of patent costs will begin
after the patents are issued.
Income Taxes
------------
No provision for taxes has been made due to cumulative operating losses at
December 31, 1999. The Company has net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $4,600,000 which will expire in 2009 through 2014. No tax benefit
has been reported in the financial statements and the potential tax benefits of
the loss carryforwards are offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
-------------------------
The computation of earnings (loss) per share of common stock is based on the
weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.
Reclassifications
-----------------
Certain amounts presented for 1998 have been reclassified to conform to the 1999
presentation.

NOTE 6 - NOTES PAYABLE
Notes payable were due in June of 1999. However, the notes include options for

Company's stock at the date of maturity. The notes have been extended without a
specified due date. Interest accrues at 20%.
NOTE 7 - DEBENTURES PAYABLE
The Company sold convertible debentures with a face amount of $300,000 during
1999. These debentures entitle the holder, at any time, to convert all or any

the average closing bid price of the common stock as reported on the National
Association of Securities Dealers Electronic Bulletin Board for the 3 trading

NOTE 8 - FINAL JUDGEMENT
On August 7, 1998, the Tampa Division of the U.S. District Court entered a final
judgement against the Company. The judgement required transfer of title to
$256,500 of receivables and payment of $25,000 to a receiver for distribution to
defrauded investors. The $256,500 had been transferred in 1997, in anticipation
of the final order, and the $25,000 was paid in 1998 and is included in
Penalties and Fines.
NOTE 9 - GOING CONCERN

Protection approvals are received.
NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On February 29, 2000, the Securities and Exchange Commission delisted the
Company's shares due to noncompliance with filing requirements.
