                                  ATTACHMENT A

     N-Viro  International Corporation (the "Company") expects to report on Form
10-K,  when  filed,  that  consolidated  revenues amounted to approximately $5.2
million  for  the year ended December 31, 2002, compared to $4.4 million for the
year  ended  December  31,  2001.
     The  Company  anticipates a net loss of approximately $100,000 for the year
ended  December 31, 2002 compared to a net loss of $1,267,000 for the year ended
December  31, 2001.  The decrease in net loss was principally due to:  increases
in  ongoing processing and related revenue; a decrease in operating expenses for
litigation  and  general  administrative  expenses;  an increase in nonoperating
income  from  a  joint  venture.
     The  Company expects working capital to be approximately ($1,000,000) as of
December 31, 2002, compared to ($955,000) as of December 31, 2001.  The decrease
in  working  capital  was  principally  due  to the operating loss for the year.
     The  Company  expects stockholders' equity to amount to approximately $1.22
million  as  of  December 31, 2002, compared to $1.32 million as of December 31,
2001.  The decrease in stockholders' equity was principally due to the operating
loss  for  the  year.
