See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements N-VIRO INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements of N-Viro International Corporation (the "Company") are unaudited but, in management's opinion, reflect all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly such information for the period and at the dates indicated. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 may not be indicative of the results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2006. Since the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Item 310 of Regulation S-B, 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 financial statements and notes thereto appearing in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the period ending December 31, 2005. The financial statements are consolidated as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 for the Company. All intercompany transactions were eliminated. In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following are certain significant estimates and assumptions made in preparation of the financial statements: Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - The Company estimates losses for uncollectible accounts based on the aging of the accounts receivable and the evaluation of the likelihood of success in collecting the receivable. The balance of the allowance at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 is $60,000 and $55,000, respectively. Property and Equipment/Long-Lived Assets - Property and equipment is reviewed for impairment pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (or SFAS) No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." The carrying amount of an asset (group) is considered impaired if it exceeds the sum of the Company's estimate of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset (group), excluding interest charges. Property, machinery and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Management believes the carrying amount is not impaired based upon estimated future cash flows. Equity Method Investment - The Company accounts for its investments in joint ventures under the equity method. The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of its equity investments in accordance with Accounting Principals Board Opinion, or APB, Opinion No. 18, "The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock." As of November 2005, the Company had fully recognized it's share of the equity investment in it's joint venture to the extent of its investment, including any Notes Receivable. After that date, the Company has not recorded any additional loss even though the joint venture has continued to sustain losses, because of a lack of basis in this investment. The Company has no other investments accounted for under the equity method. Intangible Assets - Intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are tested for impairment by comparing the fair value with its carrying value. Significant estimates used in the determination of fair value include estimates of future cash flows. As required under current accounting standards, the Company tests for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. The Company is also amortizing the capitalized cost of obtaining its credit facility, for the additional collateral required and evidenced by a warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The Company estimated this cost at February 26, 2003 to be $30,000, and is amortizing this over 4 years by the straight-line method. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The fair values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other short-term obligations approximate their carrying values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying values of the Company's long-term obligations approximate their fair value. In accordance with SFAS No. 107, "Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments," rates available at balance sheet dates to the Company are used to estimate the fair value of existing debt. Income Taxes - The Company assumes the deductibility of certain costs in income tax filings and estimates the recovery of deferred income tax assets. Stock Options - Through December 31, 2005, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation issued to its employees and directors in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." Accordingly, no compensation cost was recognized through that period for the stock option plans, as all options granted under the plans have an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant, except for the options granted in May, 2004 to Michael Nicholson, which is explained further in Note 4, "Contingencies". The fair value of options granted was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. In December 2004, SFAS No. 123R, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" was issued and changed the accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in a share-based payment transaction. For Small Business issuers such as the Company, the Statement is effective as of the beginning of the first interim period or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this standard is reflected in the current period by the expensing of existing stock options granted in 2004 that vest through 2008 to current optionees, and options granted in the current period to directors for a board meeting. The Company is uncertain as to any future grants in the current year to employees or others that may be approved by the Board. The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (or FASB) Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-based Compensation" to stock-based employee compensation:

Note 2. Related Party Transactions On March 1 and June 1, 2006, the Company each time issued 12,500 shares of unregistered common stock to Timothy Kasmoch, Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement agreed to in February, 2006. See Note 4, "Contingencies". Note 3. Long-Term Debt The Company presently has a $695,000 credit facility with Monroe Bank + Trust, or the Bank. This senior debt credit facility is comprised of a $295,000 four year term note at 7.5% and a line of credit up to $400,000 at Prime (8.25% at June 30, 2006) plus 1.5% and secured by a first lien on all assets of the Company. Two certificates of deposit totaling $125,000 from the Bank are held as a condition of maintaining the facility. The Company has currently renewed the line of credit through October 2006, and is not in violation of any financial covenants. At June 30, 2006, the Company had $368,974 of borrowing capacity under the credit facility. The amount owed on the term note as of June 30, 2006 was approximately $62,400 and this term note is expected to be paid in full in March 2007. Note 4. Contingencies The Company leases its executive and administrative office in Toledo, Ohio, under a lease that extends through February 2007. The Company believes its relationship with its lessor is satisfactory. The total minimum rental commitment for the six months ending December 31, 2006 and 2007 is approximately $18,600 and $6,200, respectively. The total rental expense included in the statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 is approximately $18,600 and $18,900, respectively. The Company also leases various equipment on a month-to-month basis. In March 2006, the Company's Board of Directors approved a Consulting Agreement with DJH Holdings, LLC, a company owned by Daniel J. Haslinger, a current member of the Board and up until February 14, 2006, the Company's Chief Executive Officer. The consulting arrangement is for a six-month term, is terminable by DJH Holdings, LLC upon fifteen (15) days notice or by us upon ninety (90) days notice. Payments under the Consulting Agreement are $9,000 per month. The Consulting Agreement is effective as of February 13, 2006. A copy of the Consulting Agreement was attached to a Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1, filed by us March 20, 2006. In March 2006, the Company's Board of Directors approved a Consulting Agreement with Carl Richard, a current member of the Board. The term of the Consulting Agreement is one (1) year, is terminable by Mr. Richard upon fifteen (15) days notice or by us upon ninety (90) days notice. Payments under the Consulting Agreement are $1,600 per month. The Consulting Agreement is effective as of February 13, 2006. A copy of the Consulting Agreement was attached to a Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.2, filed by us March 20, 2006. In March 2006, the Company's Board of Directors approved a First Amendment to a Consulting Agreement dated July 1, 2004 with Terry J. Logan, a current member of the Board. The existing Consulting Agreement was scheduled to expire on June 30, 2006, and was extended an additional two (2) years from that date. The existing Consulting Agreement was filed as an exhibit to the Form 8-K filed on July 2, 2004 by N-Viro International Corporation. All other terms of the existing Consulting Agreement have been retained, with the exception of Section 5.4, referring to Dr. Logan's stock option compensation, which has been deleted by the First Amendment. Dr. Logan will continue to be compensated at a base fee of $87.50 per hour. The First Amendment to the Consulting Agreement is effective as of February 13, 2006. A copy of the Consulting Agreement was attached to a Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.3, filed by us March 20, 2006. In February 2006, the Company executed an Employment Agreement with Timothy R. Kasmoch. Mr. Kasmoch is now employed by the Company as President and Chief Executive Officer, and is a member of the Company's Board of Directors. The Company and Mr. Kasmoch agreed primarily to enter into an employment arrangement which is for a one-year term, for $60,000 per year plus 50,000 unregistered shares of stock in the Company. The Employment Agreement is terminable with or without cause, and is effective at the date of agreement. A copy of the Employment Agreement was attached to a Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1, filed by us February 21, 2006. In August 2003, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement with Mr. J. Patrick Nicholson and negotiated a new consulting agreement (the "Agreement"). The Agreement was scheduled to expire in August 2008, and Mr. Nicholson was required to provide future services to be eligible for compensation. Mr. Nicholson was also entitled to payments of $48,000 per year for non-competition and $6,000 per year for office space reimbursement, in addition to life and health insurance coverage similar to the provision contained in his 1999 employment and consulting agreements. In June 2005, Mr. Nicholson filed a Demand for Arbitration, seeking damages of $50,000 from the Company, based on a claimed breach of the Consulting Agreement. Mr. Nicholson also seeks rescission of the Agreement and reinstatement of a prior agreement between him and the Company, which was in effect prior to the order by the Delaware Chancery Court terminating a shareholder derivative suit. This arbitration proceeding was previously reported in a Form 10-QSB filed August 15, 2005. The Company is vigorously contesting Mr. Nicholson's claims in this proceeding. Discovery is still in process, and a hearing on the matter is likely to be scheduled for late September 2006. On July 13, 2005, the Company's Board of Directors voted to terminate for cause the Consulting Agreement with J. Patrick Nicholson, based on numerous specific instances of violations of the terms of the Consulting Agreement by him. The Consulting Agreement, filed as Exhibit B to the Form 8-K filed August 29, 2003, contained a term ending no earlier than five years from the date of the contract. Mr. Nicholson is a reporting beneficial owner of approximately 10.6% of the Company's outstanding common stock, as of the date of his Form SC 13D/A filed August 9, 2006. Mr. Nicholson was being paid an aggregate of over $92,000 per year under the Consulting Agreement, exclusive of any other payouts earnable. In November 2005, Mr. Nicholson filed an amended complaint pertaining to his Demand for Arbitration, which added as an additional claim wrongful termination. On January 27, 2006, J. Patrick Nicholson applied to the Delaware Chancery Court for an order to compel the Company to allow him access to inspect its corporate and business books and records and its stockholder list, pursuant to a request under Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. No monetary relief is sought in this action. The Company contends that the documents sought by Mr. Nicholson in this action far exceed those to which he is entitled under Section 220, and principally relate to his claims in the arbitration described above. The Company is vigorously defending this action and have filed a response in the Delaware Chancery Court, but no discovery has been conducted, and no relief has been granted as of the date of this Form 10-QSB. On July 11, 2006, J. Patrick Nicholson and N-Viro Energy Systems, Inc. filed a Complaint with Jury Demand in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, against the Company and the following members of the Board of Directors and/or stockholders: Daniel J. Haslinger, Phillip Levin, R. Francis DiPrete, Terry J. Logan, Ophir Holdings, Inc., Strategic Asset Management, Inc., Robert A. Cooke and the Cooke Family Trust. The Complaint is seeking undeterminable damages and other relief from the named defendants, based on a claimed breach of fiduciary duty, common law fraud and violations of Section 10(b)(5) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. A response to this Complaint is due by August 25, 2006. The Company is and plans to continue to vigorously contest this action, and furthermore, feels that the allegations are without basis and part of a continuing dispute between J. Patrick Nicholson and the Company. In June 2003, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement (the "Agreement") with Michael G. Nicholson, the Chief Development Officer and a member of the Board of Directors of the Company. The employment agreement will expire in June 2007, and future compensation amounts are to be determined annually by the Board of Directors. The agreement was disclosed in a filing on June 10, 2003 on Form 8-K. In the third quarter of 2004, the Company and Mr. Nicholson renegotiated primarily the stock option portion of the Agreement, and amended the Agreement. Because these options were priced lower than the fair market value as of that date, the Company is required to take a charge to earnings totaling approximately $68,400 ratably through June, 2007, the ending date of his employment agreement The Company operates in an environment with many financial risks, including, but not limited to, major customer concentrations, customer contract termination provisions, competing technologies, infringement and/or misappropriation of intellectual property rights, the highly competitive and, at times, seasonal nature of the industry and worldwide economic conditions. Various federal, state and governmental agencies are considering, and some have adopted, laws and regulations regarding environmental protection which could adversely affect the business activities of the Company. The Company cannot predict what effect, if any, current and future regulations may have on the operations of the Company. Note 5. New Accounting Standards In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109", which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the application of the provisions of Interpretation No. 48 to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Note 6. Segment Information Earnings Variation Due to Business Cycles and Seasonal Factors. The Company's operating results can experience quarterly or annual variations due to business cycles, seasonality and other factors. The market price for its common stock may decrease if its operating results do not meet the expectations of the market. For the second quarter of 2006, approximately 45% of the Company's revenue is from management operations, 45% from other domestic operations, 7% from foreign sources and 3% from research and development grants. 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 (such as the current conditions in the Asia Pacific region and Latin America) and interest rates, as well as other factors. In addition, operating results of some of the Company's business segments are influenced by particular business cycles and seasonality, as well as other factors such as interest rates. Competition. The Company conducts business in a highly competitive market and has fewer resources than most of its competitors. Businesses in this market compete 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 the Company to lose market share or could result in decreases in prices, either of which could have a material adverse effect on its financial position and results of operations. Risks of Doing Business in Other Countries. The Company conducts business in markets outside the United States, and expects 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. Current economic and political conditions in the Asia Pacific and Middle East regions have affected the Company outlook for potential revenue there. The Company cannot predict the full impact of this economic instability, but it could have a material adverse effect on revenues and profits. 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. The Company's reportable segments are as follows: Management Operations - The Company provides employee and management services to operate the Toledo Wastewater Treatment Facility. Other Domestic Operations - Sales of territory or site licenses and royalty fees to use N-Viro technology in the United States. Foreign Operations - Sale of territory or site licenses and royalty fees to use N-Viro technology in foreign operations. Research and Development - The Company contracts with Federal and State agencies to perform or assist in research and development on the Company's technology. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as the Company's significant accounting policies. Fixed assets generating specific revenue are identified with their respective segments and 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 not identified with any segments, but rather the Company's administrative functions. All of the net nonoperating income (expense) are non-apportionable and not allocated to a specific segment. The Company accounts for and analyzes the operating data for its segments generally by geographic location, with the exception of the Management Operations and Research and Development segments. The Management Operations segment represents both a significant amount of business generated as well as a specific location and unique type of revenue. The domestic and foreign operations segments differ in terms of environmental 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 several years and are not expected to change in the near term. The Research and Development segment accounts for approximately 3% of the total year-to-date revenue of the Company, and is unlike any other revenue in that it is generated as a result of a specific project to conduct initial or additional ongoing research into the Company's emerging technologies. The table below presents information about the segment profits and segment identifiable assets used by the chief operating decision makers of the Company for the periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 (dollars in thousands):

Note 7. Investment in Florida N-Viro, L. P. Florida N-Viro, L.P. was formed in January 1996 pursuant to a joint venture agreement between the Company and VFL Technology Corporation (VFL). The Company owns a 47.5% interest in the joint venture and accounts for its investment under the equity method. The Company has recognized its share of the joint venture's losses to the extent of its investment. Any additional losses passed through from the joint venture were recorded as an increase to the allowance against the Note Receivable, through November 2005, when the total losses matched the value of the Notes. After that date, the Company has not recorded any additional loss even though Florida N-Viro continued to sustain losses, because of a lack of basis in this investment. Condensed financial information of Florida N-Viro, L.P. for the quarters ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 is as follows:
For the Quarter Ended June 30 ----------------------------- 2006 2005 --------- ---------- Net sales $353,972 $ 292,875 Gross profit (loss) (25,439) (79,253) Loss from continuing operations (65,034) (142,781) Net loss (65,034) (142,781)

Overview We incorporated in April, 1993, and became a public company on October 12, 1993. Our business strategy is to market the N-Viro Process, which produces a sludge product with multiple commercial uses having an "exceptional quality" as defined in the Section 503 Sludge Regulations under the Clean Water Act of 1987. To date, our revenues have been derived primarily 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. We also operate N-Viro facilities for third parties on a start-up basis and currently operate one N-Viro facility on a contract management basis. Results of Operations Total revenues were $952,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 compared to $1,018,000 for the same period of 2005. The net decrease in revenue is due primarily to a decrease in alkaline admixture sales and service fees and, a decrease in miscellaneous revenue. Our cost of revenues decreased to $554,000 in 2006 from $782,000 for the same period in 2005, and the gross profit percentage increased to 42% from 23% for the quarters ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. This increase in gross profit percentage is primarily due to the increase in foreign royalty fee revenue, and increased profitability of the facility management fee operations. Operating expenses increased for the comparative period, while our share of the loss of a joint venture, our interest in Florida N-Viro, L.P., decreased for the same period of 2006. These changes collectively resulted in a net loss of approximately $36,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 compared to a net loss of $208,000 for the same period in 2005, a decrease in the net loss of approximately $172,000. Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2006 with Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 Our overall revenue decreased $66,000, or 6.5%, to $952,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 from $1,018,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. The net decrease in revenue was due primarily to the following: a) Sales of alkaline admixture decreased $91,000 from the same period ended in 2005; b) Revenue from the service fees for the management of alkaline admixture decreased $122,000 from the same period ended in 2005; c) Our processing revenue, including facility management revenue, showed a net increase of $153,000 over the same period ended in 2005; d) Miscellaneous revenues decreased $14,000 from the same period ended in 2005; and e) Research and development revenue increased $8,000 from the same period ended in 2005. Our gross profit increased $162,000, or 69%, to $398,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 from $236,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, and the gross profit margin increased to 42% from 23% for the same periods. The increase in gross profit margin is primarily due to the increase in approximately $66,000 of foreign royalty fee revenue at virtually no cost, and increased profitability of the facility management fee operations. The foreign source royalty fee represents past royalties due from a licensee for the years 2002 through 2006, but will not be collected from the licensee in the future. The increase in profitability from the management fee operations was partially due to a shutdown for part of the quarter ended in 2005 not repeated in the same quarter in 2006. Our operating expenses increased $64,000, or 17%, to $432,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 from $368,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. The increase was primarily due to an increase of approximately $51,000 in employee payroll and related expenses, $39,000 in legal fees and $25,000 in the write-off of fixed assets abandoned during the quarter. The increase in operating expenses was partially offset by a decrease of $30,000 in stockholder relations fees, as a result of deferring the annual meeting until November, 2006, and $16,000 in travel and sales-related expenses. Of the overall increase in operating expenses of $64,000 for the quarter ended, approximately $43,000 was the result for issuing stock or stock options to be used as payment for the expense, $5,000 of this the result of a change in the rules for accounting - See Note 1 "Stock Options", in Part I Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. As a result of the foregoing factors, we recorded an operating loss of $34,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 compared to an operating loss of $132,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, a decrease in the loss of approximately $98,000. Our net nonoperating expense decreased by $73,000 to net nonoperating expense of $2,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 from net nonoperating expense of $75,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. The decrease in nonoperating expense was primarily due to a reduction in the recognition of losses from our investment in Florida N-Viro, L.P., to a loss of $-0- in 2006 from a loss of $68,000 in 2005. We recorded net loss of approximately $36,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 compared to a net loss of $208,000 for the same period ended in 2005, a decrease in the loss of approximately $172,000. For the quarter ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, we have not fully recognized the tax benefit of the losses incurred in prior periods. Accordingly, our effective tax rate for each period was zero. Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 with Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 Our overall revenue decreased $173,000, or 8%, to $1,981,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $2,154,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The net decrease in revenue was due primarily to the following: a) Sales of alkaline admixture decreased $145,000 from the same period ended in 2005; b) Revenue from the service fees for the management of alkaline admixture decreased $208,000 from the same period ended in 2005; c) Our processing revenue, including facility management revenue, showed a net increase of $204,000 over the same period ended in 2005; d) Miscellaneous revenues decreased $40,000 from the same period ended in 2005; and e) Research and development revenue increased $15,000 from the same period ended in 2005. Our gross profit increased $167,000, or 29%, to $750,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $583,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, and the gross profit margin increased to 38% from 27% for the same periods. The increase in gross profit margin is primarily due to the increase in approximately $66,000 of foreign royalty fee revenue at virtually no cost, and increased profitability of the facility management fee operations. The foreign source royalty fee represents past royalties due from a licensee for the years 2002 through 2006, but will not be collected from the licensee in the future. The increase in profitability from the management fee operations was partially due to a shutdown for part of the second quarter ended in 2005 not repeated in the same quarter in 2006. Our operating expenses increased $196,000, or 27%, to $913,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from $717,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The increase was primarily due to an increase of approximately $92,000 in employee payroll and related expenses, $75,000 in legal fees, $25,000 in the write-off of fixed assets abandoned during the quarter, $20,000 in consulting expense and $15,000 in director-related stock options expense. Of the overall increase in operating expenses of $196,000, approximately $104,000 was the result for issuing stock or stock options to be used as payment for the expense, $37,000 of this the result of a change in the rules for accounting - See Note 1 "Stock Options", in Part I Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The increase in operating expenses was partially offset by a decrease of $30,000 in stockholder relations fees, as a result of deferring the annual meeting until November, 2006. As a result of the foregoing factors, we recorded an operating loss of $163,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to an operating loss of $134,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, an increase in the loss of approximately $29,000. Our net nonoperating income (expense) decreased by $133,000 to net nonoperating expense of $4,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from net nonoperating expense of $137,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The decrease in nonoperating expense was primarily due to a reduction in the recognition of losses from our investment in Florida N-Viro, L.P., to a loss of $-0- in 2006 from a loss of $124,000 in 2005. We recorded net loss of approximately $168,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to a net loss of $272,000 for the same period ended in 2005, a decrease in the loss of approximately $104,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, we have not fully recognized the tax benefit of the losses incurred in prior periods. Accordingly, our effective tax rate for each period was zero. Liquidity and Capital Resources We had a working capital deficit of approximately $34,000 at June 30, 2006, compared to a working capital deficit of $41,000 at December 31, 2005, resulting in an increase in working capital of $7,000. Current assets at June 30, 2006 included cash and investments of approximately $412,000 (including restricted cash of approximately $130,000), which is an increase of $59,000 from December 31, 2005. Our cash flow provided by operations for the first six months of 2006, ending June 30, 2006, was approximately $234,000, an increase of approximately $6,000 from the same period in 2005. This increase was principally due to the positive change in working capital of approximately $7,000. The Company presently has a $695,000 credit facility with Monroe Bank + Trust, or the Bank. This senior debt credit facility is comprised of a $295,000 four year term note at 7.5% and a line of credit up to $400,000 at Prime (8.25% at June 30, 2006) plus 1.5% and secured by a first lien on all assets of the Company. Two certificates of deposit totaling $125,000 from the Bank are held as a condition of maintaining the facility. The Company has currently renewed the line of credit through October 2006, and is not in violation of any financial covenants. At June 30, 2006, the Company had $368,974 of borrowing capacity under the credit facility. The amount owed on the term note as of June 30, 2006 was approximately $62,400 and this term note is expected to be paid in full in March 2007. The normal collection period for accounts receivable is approximately 30-60 days for the majority of customers. This is a result of the nature of the license contracts, type of customer and the amount of time required to obtain the information to prepare the billing. We are currently in discussions with several companies in the cement and fuel industries for the development and commercialization of the patented N-Viro fuel technology. There can be no assurance that these discussions will be successful. We continue to focus on the development of regional biosolids processing facilities. Currently we are in negotiations with several privatization firms to permit and develop independent, regional facilities. We expect improvements in operating results for the balance of 2006 and into 2007 partially due to realized and expected new sources of revenue. Additionally, market developments and ongoing discussions with companies in the fuel and wastewater industries could provide enhanced liquidity and positively impact 2006 and 2007 operations. We believe that current market trends and increased and more focused emphasis on our business development efforts provide a basis for an optimistic outlook for 2006 and beyond. The national public attack on Class B levels of sludge treatment is rapidly moving the market to Class A technologies, of which our patented N-Viro processes are very cost competitive, and well established in the market place. There are currently over 35 facilities worldwide using the N-Viro Process, most of which have been using the N-Viro process for over 10 years. The development and patenting of new technologies for animal manure treatment, bio-fuel and nematode control have the potential to expand our revenue base over the next five years and beyond. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to continue operations over the next twelve months. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements At June 30, 2006, we did not have any material commercial commitments, including guarantees or standby repurchase obligations, or any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities or variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. From time to time, during the normal course of business, we may make certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which we may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These include: (i) indemnities to vendors and service providers pertaining to claims based on our negligence or willful misconduct and (ii) indemnities involving the accuracy of representations and warranties in certain contracts. Pursuant to Delaware law, we may indemnify certain officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was, serving at our request in such capacity. We also have director and officer insurance coverage that limits our exposure and enables us to recover a portion of any future amounts that we may pay for indemnification purposes. We believe the applicable insurance coverage is generally adequate to cover any estimated potential liability for which we may provide indemnification. The majority of these indemnities, commitments and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential for future payments we could be obligated to make. We have not recorded any liability for these indemnities, commitments and other guarantees in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contractual Obligations The following table summarizes our contractual cash obligations at June 30, 2006, and the effect these obligations are expected to have on liquidity and cash flow in future periods:
Payments Due By Period ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Note # Total Less than 1 year 1 - 3 years 4 - 5 years after 5 years ------- -------- ----------------- ------------ ------------ -------------- Purchase obligations (1) $171,100 $ 98,300 $ 72,800 $ - $ - Long-term debt obligations (2) 151,387 77,451 73,936 - - Operating leases (3) 38,330 34,730 3,600 - - Capital lease obligations - - - - - Other long-term debt obligations - - - - - -------- ----------------- ------------ ------------ -------------- Total contractual cash obligations $360,817 $ 210,481 $ 150,336 $ - $ - ======== ================= ============ ============ ============== (1) Purchase obligations include agreements to purchase services that are enforceable and legally binding on the Company and that specify all significant terms and the approximate timing of the transaction.

(3) Amounts represent the expected cash payments of our operating lease obligations.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures Disclosure Controls and Procedures As of June 30, 2006, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2006, such that the information required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Internal Controls There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal proceedings In June 2005, J. Patrick Nicholson, our former Chairman and CEO, filed a Demand for Arbitration, seeking damages of $50,000 from us, based on a claimed breach of a Consulting Agreement dated August 28, 2003 between us and Mr. Nicholson. Mr. Nicholson also seeks rescission of his Consulting Agreement and reinstatement of a prior agreement between him and us, which was in effect prior to the order by the Delaware Chancery Court terminating a shareholder derivative suit. This arbitration proceeding was previously reported in our Form 10-QSB filed August 15, 2005. We are vigorously contesting Mr. Nicholson's claims in this proceeding. Discovery is still in process, and a hearing on the matter is likely to be scheduled for late September 2006. On July 13, 2005, our Board of Directors voted to terminate for cause the Consulting Agreement with J. Patrick Nicholson, based on numerous specific instances of violations of the terms of the Consulting Agreement by him. The Consulting Agreement, filed as Exhibit B to the Form 8-K filed August 29, 2003, contained a term ending no earlier than five years from the date of the contract. Mr. Nicholson is a reporting beneficial owner of approximately 10.6% of our outstanding common stock, as of the date of his Form SC 13D/A filed August 9, 2006. Mr. Nicholson was being paid an aggregate of over $92,000 per year under the Consulting Agreement, exclusive of any other payouts earnable. In November 2005, Mr. Nicholson filed an amended complaint pertaining to his Demand for Arbitration, which added as an additional claim wrongful termination. On January 27, 2006, J. Patrick Nicholson applied to the Delaware Chancery Court for an order to compel us to allow him access to inspect our corporate and business books and records and our stockholder list, pursuant to a request under Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. No monetary relief is sought in this action. We contend that the documents sought by Mr. Nicholson in this action far exceed those to which he is entitled under Section 220, and principally relate to his claims in the arbitration described above. We are vigorously defending this action and have filed a response in the Delaware Chancery Court, but no discovery has been conducted, and no relief has been granted as of the date of this Form 10-QSB On July 11, 2006, J. Patrick Nicholson and N-Viro Energy Systems, Inc. filed a Complaint with Jury Demand in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, against us and the following members of our Board of Directors and/or stockholders: Daniel J. Haslinger, Phillip Levin, R. Francis DiPrete, Terry J. Logan, Ophir Holdings, Inc., Strategic Asset Management, Inc., Robert A. Cooke and the Cooke Family Trust. The Complaint is seeking undeterminable damages and other relief from the named defendants, based on a claimed breach of fiduciary duty, common law fraud and violations of Section 10(b)(5) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. A response to this Complaint is due by August 25, 2006. We are currently and plan to continue to vigorously contest this action, and furthermore, feel that the allegations are without basis and part of a continuing dispute between us and J. Patrick Nicholson. From time to time we are involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. With respect to these matters, we believe we have adequate legal defenses and/or provided adequate accruals for related costs such that the ultimate outcome will not have a material adverse effect on our future financial position or results of operations. Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds On June 1, 2006, we issued 12,500 shares of unregistered common stock to Timothy Kasmoch, Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement of February, 2006.
