indicated. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1999 may
not be indicative of the results of operations for the year ended December 31,
1999. Since the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X, they do not contain
all information and footnotes normally contained in annual consolidated
financial statements; accordingly, they should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated and combined financial statements and notes thereto appearing in
the Company's Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 1998.

        N-Viro International Corporation was incorporated in April 1993 and is
the successor to N-Viro Energy Systems, Ltd. (the "Partnership") and five
Company agents (the "Company Agents").

        On October 19, 1993, the Partnership contributed to the Company all of
its assets (except certain marketable securities and accounts receivable from
certain related parties), subject to all liabilities (except certain retained
liabilities), and the shareholders of the Company Agents contributed to the
Company all of the outstanding capital stock of such entities in exchange for a
total of six million shares of Common Stock of the Company and organization
notes totaling $5,221,709 (such transactions are collectively referred to as the
"Organization"). The Organization notes were repaid out of the proceeds from an
initial public offering of two million shares of Company Common Stock. A total
of 2,112,000 new shares were issued in the initial public offering including
shares issued in the partial exercise by the Underwriters of an over-allotment
option.

        The financial statements are consolidated as of June 30, 1999 and
December 31, 1998 for the Company. Adjustments have been made to eliminate all
intercompany transactions.


2.      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        The Company recognized an expense to Mr. Bobby B. Carroll, a Director of
the Company and a former shareholder of Tennessee-Carolina N-Viro, Inc., of
$30,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999, and $60,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 under a contract arrangement signed in 1993 and amended in
1998 for consulting services. The Company granted Mr. Carroll a security
interest in all present and future receivables and contract rights from licenses
in the states of Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina pursuant to the
contract agreement.


3.      CONTINGENCIES

        The Company leases office space under an agreement which requires
monthly payments of $4,812. The lease expires in December 2002. The total
minimum rental commitment at June 30, 1999 is $203,000. The total rental expense
included in the statements of operations for the periods ended June 30, 1999 and
1998 is approximately $28,870 and $28,000, respectively.

           During 1994, the Company reacquired territory rights from a former
agent and issued 66,250 shares of unregistered common stock. The former
agreement stated that if the former agent elected to sell these shares, the
Company has guaranteed the former agent $6 per common share.

          In 1999 the Company reached a settlement agreement to modify its
royalty agreement with the former agent and the stock price guarantee agreement.
As part of this agreement, the former agent is required to pay royalties owed
and shall not sell any common stock issued in connection with the original
agreement until September 2000 at which time the former agent may sell up to
10,000 shares per month. The former agent has the right to offset future
royalties owing against the difference between the $6 per share guarantee and
the fair market value of the stock at the time the shares are sold.

        The Company is involved in legal proceedings and subject to claims which
have arisen in the ordinary course of business. These actions, when concluded
and determined, will not, in the opinion of management, have a material adverse
effect upon the financial position of the Company.


ITEM 2.      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

        The Company was incorporated in April, 1993, and became a public company
on October 12, 1993. The Company's business strategy is to market the N-Viro
Process, which produces an "exceptional quality" sludge product as defined in
the Section 503 Sludge Regulations under the Clean Water Act of 1987, with
multiple commercial uses. To date, the Company's revenues primarily have been
derived from the licensing of the N-Viro Process to treat and recycle wastewater
sludge generated by municipal wastewater treatment plants and from the sale to
licensees of the alkaline admixture used in the N-Viro Process. The Company has
also operated N-Viro facilities for third parties on a start-up basis and
currently operates one N-Viro facility on a contract management basis.

        Total revenues were $1,068,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999
compared to $1,061,000 for the same period of 1998. The net decrease in revenue
is due primarily to a decrease in territorial and site license revenue,
partially offset by an increase in facility management and research and
development revenue. The Company increased its cost of revenues for the same
period of 1999. The increase in cost of revenues was due primarily to the
increase in costs in generating facility management revenue. As a result, the
gross profit percentage decreased to 51% from 57% for the quarters ended June
30, 1999 and 1998. Selling, general and administrative costs decreased for the
comparative period, and losses in the equity of a joint venture increased for
the same period of 1999. These changes collectively resulted in net income of
$84,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 compared to $44,000 for the quarter
ended June 30, 1998.

         On June 1, 1998, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3
(the "Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission for
the registration of certain shares of Common Stock of the Company then held by
Heartland Limited Partnership I ("Heartland"). These shares were subsequently
assigned to an affiliate of Heartland. The Company's audited financial
statements were not available as of the deadline for filing the Company's Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998, and the Form 10-K was correspondingly
not filed in a timely manner. As a result of such untimely filing, the Company
may not currently use Form S-3 to register its shares of Common Stock, and the
Company thus filed a request for withdrawal of the Registration Statement with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 28, 1999.

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 1998

        Overall revenue increased $7,000, or 0.6%, to $1,067,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 from $1,061,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1998. The net increase in revenue was due primarily to the following:

        a) Licensing of the N-Viro Process, including territory fees, earned the
Company $75,000 for the quarter, a decrease of $125,000 from the same period in
1998;

        b) The Company's processing revenue, including facility management
revenue, showed a net increase of $86,000 over the same period ended in 1998;

        c) Research and development revenue increased $72,000 from the same
period ended in 1998;

        d) Testing income decreased $4,000 from the same period ended in 1998;
and,

        e) Commission income decreased $22,000 from the same period ended June
30, 1998.

        Gross profit decreased $57,000, or 9%, to $546,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 from $603,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998. This
decrease in gross profit was primarily a result of the decrease in territory and
license fee revenue, which have no associated cost of revenue, and an increase
in product shipping and storage, and, direct payroll costs in generating the
processing and facility management revenue. The gross profit margin decreased to
51% from 57% for the same three month comparison.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $99,000, or 18%,
to $456,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 from $555,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1998. The decrease was primarily due to a net decrease in
administrative overhead of $70,000 and a decrease in outside professional fees
of $29,000.

        As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company recorded operating
income of $90,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $48,000
for the three months ended June 30, 1998.

        For the quarters ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company has not fully
recognized the tax benefit of the losses incurred in prior periods. Accordingly,
the effective tax rate for each period was zero.

COMPARISON OF SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 WITH SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

        Overall revenue decreased $47,000, or 2.3%, to $2,046,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 from $2,093,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1998. The net decrease in revenue was due primarily to the following:

        a) Licensing of the N-Viro Process, including territory fees, earned the
Company $75,000 for the quarter, a decrease of $275,000 from the same period in
1998;

        b) The Company's processing revenue, including facility management
revenue, showed a net increase of $160,000 over the same period ended in 1998;

        c) Research and development revenue increased $93,000 from the same
period ended in 1998;

                                      -7-
<PAGE>   8

        d) Testing income increased $6,000 from the same period ended in 1998;
and,

        e) Commission income decreased $31,000 from the same period ended June
30, 1998.

        Gross profit decreased $134,000, or 11%, to $1,039,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 from $1,173,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1998. This decrease in gross profit was primarily a result of the decrease in
territory and license fee revenue, which have no associated cost of revenue, and
an increase in product shipping and storage, and, direct payroll costs in
generating the processing and facility management revenue. The gross profit
margin decreased to 51% from 56% for the same six month comparison.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $118,000, or 11%,
to $925,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from $1,043,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1998. The decrease was primarily due to a net decrease in
administrative overhead of $86,000 and outside professional fees of $32,000.

        As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company recorded operating
income of $114,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $130,000
for the six months ended June 30, 1998.

        For the quarters ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company has not fully
recognized the tax benefit of the losses incurred in prior periods. Accordingly,
the effective tax rate for each period was zero.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        The Company had working capital of $540,000 at June 30, 1999, compared
to working capital of $404,000 at December 31, 1998. Current assets at June 30,
1999 included cash and investments of $534,000, which is an increase of $211,000
from December 31, 1998. The increase in working capital was principally due to
the income from operations for the six months ended.

         In 1999 the Company's operating cash flow has continued to be positive,
and the Company improved its payments to unsecured trade vendors. The Company
maintains a $250,000 certificate of deposit with a bank and held as collateral
on the Company's working capital line of credit.

        In 1997 the Company obtained a working capital line of credit of
$200,000. In the third quarter of 1998 the line was increased to $500,000.
Borrowings against the line bear interest at prime minus .50% for amounts
borrowed up to $250,000, and prime plus 1% on the excess amount borrowed over
$250,000. This debt is collateralized by a certificate of deposit with the
lender of $250,000, accounts receivable, inventories and equipment, and are due
on demand. Also, the Company must maintain certain financial covenants. In
April, 1999, the bank waived a violation of a financial covenant in light of the
Company's net loss for the year ended December 31, 1998. In exchange, the
Company has agreed to not borrow more than $350,000 outstanding at any one time,
until further notice. The Company expects this borrowing limitation to be lifted
before the end of 1999. The balance owed on the line of credit at June 30, 1999
was $-0-.

        The Company believes that its working capital together with the line of
credit, will provide sufficient cash to meet the Company's cash requirements
through 1999.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

         EARNINGS VARIATION DUE TO BUSINESS CYCLES AND SEASONAL FACTORS. Our
operating results can experience quarterly or annual variations due to business
cycles, seasonality and other factors. The market price for our common stock may
decrease if our operating results do not meet the expectations of the market.
Sales of the N-Viro technology are affected by general fluctuations in the
business cycles in the United States and worldwide, instability of economic
conditions and interest rates, as well as other factors. In addition, operating
results of some of our business segments are influenced, along with other
factors such as interest rates, by particular business cycles and seasonality.

         COMPETITION. We compete against companies in a highly competitive
market and we have fewer resources than most of those companies. Our business
competes within and outside the United States principally on the basis of price,
product quality, custom design, technical support, reputation, equipment
financing assistance and reliability. Competitive pressures and other factors
could cause us to lose market share or could result in decreases in prices,
either of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position
and results of operations.

         RISKS OF DOING BUSINESS IN OTHER COUNTRIES. We conduct business in
markets outside the United States, and we expect to continue to do so. In
addition to the risk of currency fluctuations, the risks associated with
conducting business outside the United States include: social, political and
economic instability; slower payment of invoices; underdeveloped infrastructure;
underdeveloped legal systems; and nationalization. The Company has not entered
into any currency swap agreements which may reduce these risks. The Company may
enter into such agreements in the future if it is deemed necessary to do so.

         The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those that
are based on the Company's method of internal reporting, which segregates its
business by product category and service lines. Fixed assets generating specific
revenue are identified with their respective segments as they are accounted for
as such in the internal accounting records. All other assets, including cash and
other current assets and all long-term assets, other than fixed assets, are
identified with the Corporate segment. The Company does not allocate any
selling, general, and administrative expenses to any specific segments. All of
the other income (expense) costs or income are non-apportionable and not
allocated to a specific segment. The Company accounts and analyzes the operating
data for its segments generally by geographic location, with the exception of
the Management segment, as this revenue accounts for over 10% of the total
revenue of the Company. This segment represents both a significant amount of
business generated as well as a specific location and unique type of revenue.
The other two segments are divided between domestic and foreign sources, as
these segments differ in terms of environment and municipal legal issues, nature
of the waste disposal infrastructure, political climate, and availability of
funds for investing in the Company's technology. These factors have not changed
significantly over the past two years and are not expected to do so in the near
term.

EFFECT OF YEAR 2000 ISSUE ON THE COMPANY'S MANAGEMENT AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS

         The Company has prepared its systems and applications to operate
properly after the year 2000 (Y2K). The issue is whether computer systems will
properly recognize date-sensitive information when the year changes to 2000.
Systems that do not properly recognize such information could generate erroneous
data or cause a system to fail. The potential for failures and errors affects
all aspects of our business, including computers and their backup systems,
office equipment and building components. We are also addressing our
interdependencies with our customers and suppliers, all of whom must address the
same problem.

        N-Viro's Y2K Program is focused on four inter-related categories which
are crucial to maintaining uninterrupted service to our customers: the Company
local area network (LAN) and wide-area network (WAN), software applications, and
the external hardware that supports the applications. Additionally, the Company
will include an assessment of its non-computer based equipment and office
infrastructure, which is less significant to serving the needs of the Company's
customers. The milestones within each category are: assessment, repair, testing
and approval. The Company has a target of September 30, 1999 for the completion
of all phases for all systems affecting the Company.

          CURRENT STATUS

         The Company has approximately 20 computers in use or available for use,
all connected via a LAN. Of these, all but four are run under Macintosh
operating systems, which do not have a Y2K problem. The other four are Windows
95 (2) or Windows 98 (2) operating systems, the latter two support the financial
accounting and financial administration of the Company. All are important to the
administration and maintenance related to our direct N-Viro product support
activities, and support our sales and marketing department and other company
services and internal administrative functions. As of June 30, 1999, the Company
has completed 100% of the assessment, 100% of the repair and 100% of the
application testing. All are Y2K compliant.

         The Company WAN helps provide quality service to the Company's
customers. All of the boxes, switches, routers and network control points have
been assessed: 100% are Y2K compliant. Additional Y2K testing will be conducted
to independently verify supplier claims of compliance. At June 30, 1999, the
assessment of the supplier applications was 100% complete.

         With respect to customer and supplier (third party) assessment, letters
have been sent to about 400 companies to request information on their Y2K plans
and targets for compliance. The Company has identified no existing types of
third party interfaces. At June 30, 1999, the Company received approximately 20%
of third party requests and approximately 100% of these indicated they were or
expected to be Y2K compliant. The Company expects to receive Y2K certification
for third parties by October 15, 1999, with 100% expected to be compliant by
December 31, 1999.

         The non-information technology infrastructure focuses on the
utilities-based systems (e.g., electric) that support the computer systems, as
well as the need to continue security and operations. The effort to date for Y2K
compliance within the non-IT infrastructure is in inventory and assessment. At
June 30, 1999, approximately 25% of all sites completed inventory, 25% completed
assessment and 25% are Y2K compliant. The Company expects to complete the
remaining sites by late Fall 1999.

         COSTS

         The Company has expended approximately $7,000 since inception in late
1997 on the Y2K project. Total costs for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 were
$-0-. The Company anticipates the total

                                      -11-
<PAGE>   12

cost of the project to be approximately $10,000 through December of 1999, which
includes approximately $7,000 of capitalized fixed assets and $3,000 of
additional assessment and compliance costs.

         CONTINGENCY PLANS

        The Company is in the process of establishing Y2K contingency plans,
which include the following:

- -        Data retention and recovery procedures to be in place for customer and
         business data to provide pre-millennium backups with on-site (primary
         backup) and off-site (2nd backup) data copies.

- -        Alternative processes to be developed to support all customer functions
         in the event information systems or mechanical processes experience
         disruptions.

- -        Alternative suppliers and plans to be in place for third-party
         products/services that do not meet Y2K compliance commitment schedules.

         RISK ASSESSMENT

         The Company has assessed our business exposure that would result from a
failure of our Y2K Program, as well as those of our suppliers and customers.
Such failures would result in business consequences that could include failure
to be able to serve customers, loss of network functionality, inability to
render accurate bills, lost revenue, harm to the Company trademark, legal
exposure and failure of management controls.

         Although the Company believes that internal Y2K compliance will be
achieved by December 31, 1999, there can be no assurance that the Y2K problem
will not have a material adverse affect on the Company's business, financial
condition and results of operations.

         The Company cautions that words used in this document such as
"expects," "anticipates," "believes," "may," and "optimistic," as well as
similar words and expressions used herein, identify and refer to statements
describing events that may or may not occur in the future. These forward-looking
statements and the matters to which they refer are subject to considerable
uncertainty that may cause actual results to be materially different from those
described herein. Some, but not all, of the factors that could cause actual
results to be different than those anticipated or predicted by the Company
include: (i) a deterioration in economic conditions in general; (ii) a decrease
in demand for the Company's products or services in particular; (iii) the
Company's loss of a key employee or employees; (iv) regulatory changes,
including changes in environmental regulations, that may have an adverse affect
on the demand for the Company's products or services; (v) increases in the
Company's operating expenses resulting from increased costs of labor and/or
consulting services; and (vi) a failure to collect upon or otherwise secure the
benefits of existing contractual commitments with third parties, including
customers of the Company.
