PART I

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS

Item 1. Plan Information

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Company:

The Company has its principal offices at 875 South Industrial Parkway, Heber, Utah 84032, Telephone (435)654-4370.

Purposes:

The Common Stock will be issued by the Company pursuant to an agreement entered into between the Consultant and the Company and approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors"). The agreements are intended to provide a method whereby the Company may be stimulated by the personal involvement of the Consultant in the Company's business thereby advancing the interests of the Company, and all of its shareholders.

Common Stock:

The Board has authorized the issuance of up to 600,000 shares of the Common stock to the Consultant upon effectiveness of the registration Statement.

Consultants:

The Consultant has agreed to provide its expertise and advice to the Company on a non-exclusive basis for the purpose of generally representing the Company with respect to certain legal matters.

No Restrictions on Transfer

Upon the shares becoming "Earned" pursuant to the terms of Consultant's engagement agreement, the Consultant will become the record and beneficial owners of the shares of Common Stock upon issuance and delivery and are entitled to all of the rights of ownership, including the right to vote any shares awarded and to receive ordinary cash dividends on the Common Stock.

Tax Treatment to the Consultant

The Common Stock is not qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Consultant, therefore, will be deemed for federal income tax purposes to recognize ordinary income during the taxable year in which the first of the following events occurs: (a) the shares become freely transferable, or (b) the shares cease to be subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. Accordingly, the Consultant will receive compensation taxable at ordinary rates equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date of receipt since there will be no substantial risk of forfeiture or other restrictions on transfer. If, however, the Consultant receives shares of common stock pursuant to the exercises of an option or options at an exercise price below the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise, the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of the stock on the date of exercise will be deemed ordinary income for federal tax purposes. The Consultant is urged to consult his tax advisor on this matter. Further, if any recipient is an "affiliate", Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act is applicable and will affect the issue of taxation.

Tax Treatment to the Company

The amount of income recognized by any recipient hereunder in accordance with the foregoing discussion will be an expense deductible by the company for federal income tax purposes of the taxable year of the Company during which the recipient recognizes income.

Restrictions of Resales

In the event that an affiliate of the Company acquires shares of Common Stock hereunder, the affiliate will be subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.  Further, in the event that any affiliate acquiring shares hereunder has sold or sells any shares of Common Stock in the six months preceding or following the receipt of shares hereunder, any so called "profit", as computed under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, would be required to be disgorged from the recipient to the Company. Services rendered have been recognized as valid consideration for the "purchase" of shares in connection with the "profit" computation under Section 16(b) of the exchange Act. The Company has agreed that for the purpose of any "profit" computation under 16(b) the price paid for the common stock issued to affiliates is equal to the value of services rendered. Shares of common Stock acquired hereunder by persons other than affiliates are not subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The company hereby incorporates by reference (i) its annual report of Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2002, filed pursuant to Section 13 of the Exchange Act, (ii) any and all Forms 10-QSB filed under the Securities or Exchange Act subsequent to any filed form 10-KSB, as well as all other reports filed under Section 13 of the Exchange Act, and (iii) its annual report, if any to shareholders delivered pursuant to Rule 14a-3 of the Exchange Act. In addition, all further documents filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13, 14, or 15 (d) of the Exchange Act prior to the termination of this offering are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Prospectus and to be a part hereof from the date of the filing.

Re:  Opinion of Counsel - Registration Statement on Form S-8

Gentleman:

I have acted as counsel for Diatect International, Inc. (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation and filing of the Company's Registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Registration Statement"), relating to 600,000 shares of the Company's common stock, no par value, (the "common stock"), issuable pursuant to the Company's Advisory and Consultants Agreements, (the "Plan").

I have examined the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and the By-Laws of the company and all amendments thereto, the Registration Statement and originals, or copies certified to my satisfaction, of such records and meetings, written actions in lieu of meetings, or resolutions adopted at meetings, of the directors of the Company, and such other documents and instruments as in my judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable me to render the opinions expressed below.

Based on the foregoing examination, I am of the opinion that the shares of Common Stock issuable with the Plan are duly authorized and, when issued in accordance with the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Further, I consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

Very truly yours,

/s/ John L Runft
