See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements N-VIRO INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE 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 three months ended March 31, 2009 may not be indicative of the results of operations for the year ending December 31, 2009. 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 financial statements and notes thereto appearing in the Company's Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2008. The financial statements are consolidated as of March 31, 2009, December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2008 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. There have been no changes in the selection and application of critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in "Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. NOTE 2. LONG-TERM DEBT AND LINE OF CREDIT During the first quarter of 2009, the Company had a line of credit up to $400,000 at the prime rate (3.25% at March 31, 2009) plus 1.5% and secured by a first lien on all assets of the Company, with Monroe Bank + Trust, or the Bank, with a maturity date of October 15, 2009. Two certificates of deposit totaling $139,292 from the Bank are held as a condition of maintaining the line of credit. At March 31, 2009, the Company had $38,142 of unrestricted borrowing capacity under the credit facility. On December 28, 2006, the Company purchased the remaining ownership interest in Florida N-Viro for $500,000 and financed $400,000 of it by delivering a note to the seller, VFL Technology Corporation. The note is at 8% interest for 10 years, to be paid in annual installments, including interest, of $59,612, subject to an offset for royalties due the Company under a patent license agreement from the same party. The amount owed on the note as of March 31, 2009 was approximately $374,000 and the second annual installment of $31,000 was paid on time in April 2009. The third annual installment of approximately $34,000 is expected to be paid on time in early 2010, subject to expected royalty offsets through 2009. During the first quarter of 2009, the Company did not borrow any additional funds. NOTE 3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In June 2007, the Company executed an Employment Agreement with Robert W. Bohmer as Vice-President of Business Development and General Counsel, which commenced July 1, 2007. The Company and Mr. Bohmer agreed primarily to enter into an employment arrangement for a two-year term at $150,000 per year plus a stock option grant of 100,000 shares. In addition, Mr. Bohmer is eligible for an annual cash bonus. Generally, the Agreement may be terminated by the Company with or without cause or by the Employee for any reason. In June 2008, the Company amended the Agreement and extended the employment term an additional two years, ending on July 1, 2011. Except for the extension of the term, there were no other changes to the Agreement. Details of this event were announced in a Form 8-K filed June 20, 2008. In March 2007, the Company and Mr. Timothy R. Kasmoch, the President and Chief Executive Officer, entered into an Employment Agreement dated and commencing February 13, 2007, for a two-year term. Mr. Kasmoch is to receive an annual base salary of $150,000, subject to an annual discretionary increase. In addition, Mr. Kasmoch is eligible for an annual cash bonus. Generally, the Agreement may be terminated by the Company with or without cause or by the Employee for any reason. In April 2008, the Company amended the Agreement and extended the employment term an additional two years, ending on February 12, 2011. Except for the extension of the term, there were no other changes to the Agreement. Details of this event were announced in a Form 8-K filed April 7, 2008. The Company maintains an office in Daytona Beach under a lease with the County of Volusia, Florida, which was renewed in March, 2009 for five years. The total minimum rental commitment for the years ending December 31, 2009 through 2013 is $48,000 each year, and for 2014 is $12,000. The total rental expense included in the statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 is $12,000. The Company leases processing equipment at its Florida location, which began in 2006 under a four year contract. The total minimum rental commitment for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 is $31,000 and $3,000, respectively. The total rental expense included in the statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 is approximately $7,700. The Company also leases other processing equipment at its Florida location which began in February 2008 under a three-year lease. The total minimum rental commitment for the following years ended December 31 are as follows: 2009 - $46,200; 2010 - $46,200; 2011 - 4,000. The total rental expense included in the statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 is approximately $11,500 and $7,700, respectively. The Company's facility in Toledo, Ohio, utilizes patented technologies to stabilize and disinfect municipal biosolids pursuant to a permit to install from the Ohio EPA that requires emissions be vented to a scrubber. In July 2008, an inspection of the facility by local regulatory officials revealed that the scrubber was not in operation. In February of 2009, the Company agreed to enter into an administrative consent degree with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency ("Ohio EPA") that resolved, without any admission of fact, violation, or liability, Ohio EPA's claims that the Company operated the scrubber, an air contaminant source, in violation of its permit to install. Pursuant to the terms of the consent degree, the Company agreed to pay a civil penalty in the amount of $20,000. Payment of the penalty will be made in quarterly installments of $4,000 over a 15-month period. The first installment was paid on time in April 2009. 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. From time to time the Company is involved in legal proceedings and subject to claims which may arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not aware of any legal proceedings or material claims at this time. NOTE 4. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS No new accounting standards were issued during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 that will have an impact on the Company's financial statements. NOTE 5. SEGMENT INFORMATION 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 Ohio Wastewater Treatment Facility and the Daytona/Volusia County Florida Treatment Facility. Other Domestic Operations - Sales of alkaline admixtures, territory or site licenses and royalty fees to use N-Viro technology in the United States. Foreign Operations - Sales of alkaline admixtures, 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 those described in Note 1 to the Company's consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. 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 Other 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 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 Company has not recorded any revenue from this source since 2006. For the first quarter of 2009, approximately 96% of the Company's revenue was from management operations and 4% from other domestic operations. Since the second quarter of 2006, the percentage of the Company's revenue from management fee operations has grown from 45% to 96%, primarily the result of the acquisition of the Florida operations at the end of 2006. 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 March 31, 2009 and 2008 (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 6. - BASIC AND DILUTED INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE Basic and diluted income (loss) per share is computed using the treasury stock method for outstanding stock options and warrants. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company incurred a net loss. Accordingly, no common stock equivalents for outstanding stock options and warrants have been included in the computation of diluted loss per share for that period, as the impact would be anti-dilutive230075074. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, 297,300 stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted income per share because the exercise prices of the options were higher than the average market price of the Company's common stock during that period and are anti-dilutive.

OVERVIEW We were incorporated in Delaware in April 1993, and became a public company in October 1993. We own and sometimes license various N-Viro processes and patented technologies to treat and recycle wastewater and other bio-organic wastes, utilizing certain alkaline and mineral by-products produced by the cement, lime, electric utilities and other industries. To date, the N-Viro Process has been commercially utilized for the recycling of wastewater sludge from municipal wastewater treatment facilities. N-Viro SoilTM, produced according to the N-Viro Process specifications, is an "exceptional quality" sludge product under the 40 CFR Part 503 Sludge Regulations under the Clean Water Act of 1987 (the "Part 503 Regs"). Our business strategy is to market our N-Viro technologies, which produces an "exceptional quality" sludge product, as defined in the Part 503 Regs, with multiple commercial uses. In this strategy, the primary focus is to identify allies, public and private, who will allow the opportunity for N-Viro build own and operate N-Viro facilities. Currently the company operates two biosolid process facilities located in Toledo Ohio and Daytona Florida. Our goal is to continue to operate these facilities and aggressively market our N-Viro BioDry and N-Viro Fuel technologies. These patented processes are best suited for current and future demands of both waste treatment as well as domestic and international pressures for clean, renewable alternative fuel sources. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The dollar amounts in the following sections are stated as approximations, rounded to the nearest $1,000. Total revenues were $1,351,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to $1,164,000 for the same period of 2008. The net increase in revenue is due primarily to an increase in facility management revenue. Our cost of revenues increased to $960,000 in 2009 from $933,000 for the same period in 2008, and the gross profit percentage increased to 29% from 20% for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. This increase in gross profit percentage is due primarily to the increase in the overall percentage of revenue derived from facility management fees, and secondarily the increase in N-Viro Soil sales, which had a much higher gross profit in the first quarter of 2009 compared to a year earlier. Operating expenses continued to decrease for the comparative period. These changes collectively resulted in net profit of $20,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to a net loss of $93,000 for the same period in 2008, an increase of $113,000. COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009 WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 Our overall revenue increased $187,000, or 16%, to $1,351,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 from $1,164,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The net increase in revenue was due primarily to the following: a) Sales of alkaline admixture decreased $46,000 from the same period ended in 2008 - this decrease was primarily the result of the loss of revenue of various customers in the Midwest; b) Revenue from the service fees for the management of alkaline admixture decreased $3,000 from the same period ended in 2008 - this decrease was attributed primarily to the Toledo-area customers, which decreased $37,000 compared to the same period in 2008; c) Our processing revenue, including facility management revenue, showed a net increase of $236,000 over the same period ended in 2008. Of this increase, facility management revenue of $185,000 was contributed by the Florida operation and $17,000 from the Toledo facility, and, N-Viro Soil sales increased by a total of $48,000 from both operations, offset by a decrease in royalty revenue of $15,000 primarily due to the loss of licensees no longer utilizing our technology. Our gross profit increased $160,000, or 69%, to $391,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 from $231,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, and the gross profit margin increased to 29% from 20% for the same periods. The increase in gross profit margin is primarily due to the increase in the overall percentage of revenue derived from facility management fees, and secondarily the increase in N-Viro Soil sales, which had a much higher gross profit margin in the first quarter of 2009 compared to a year earlier. The Toledo operation contributed $181,000 of gross profit on overall revenue of $436,000, which was an increase of $54,000 of gross profit over the same period in 2008. The Florida operation contributed $198,000 on overall revenue of $863,000, which was an increase of $110,000 of gross profit over the same period in 2008. Our operating expenses decreased $38,000, or 10%, to $357,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 from $395,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to decreases of $61,000 in consulting fees and expenses and $19,000 in payroll expense, partially offset by an increase of $23,000 in legal and professional fees and $16,000 in director fees and expenses. As a result of the foregoing factors, we recorded operating income of $34,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to an operating loss of $165,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $199,000. Our net nonoperating income (expense) decreased by $86,000 to net nonoperating expense of $14,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 from net nonoperating income of $72,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in net nonoperating income (expense) was primarily due to a gain on the settlements of debt of $84,000 in 2008. We recorded net income of $20,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to a net loss of $93,000 for the same period ended in 2008, an increase of $113,000. Adding back non-cash expenses for depreciation, amortization, stock and stock options charges and then subtracting cash out on capitalized assets and debt repayments, resulted in cash operating income of $55,000. Similar non-cash expenses, cash out and debt repayments for the same period in 2008 resulted in cash operating income of $21,000, an increase in cash operating income of $34,000 in first quarter 2009 versus 2008. For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, we have not recognized the future tax benefit of current or prior period losses due to the Company's historical operating losses. For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, we have not recognized a tax provision on current period income due to the utilization of loss carryforwards to offset taxable income. Accordingly, our effective tax rate for each period was zero. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES We had a working capital deficit of $1,234,000 at March 31, 2009, compared to a working capital deficit of $1,287,000 at December 31, 2008, resulting in an increase in working capital of $53,000. Current assets at March 31, 2009 included cash and investments of $172,000 (including restricted cash of $139,000), which is an increase of $18,000 from December 31, 2008. The net positive change in working capital from December 31, 2008 was primarily from the cash provided by operating activities of $153,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, offset negatively by payments on long-term debt obligations of $100,000. In the first quarter of 2009 our cash flow provided by operating activities was $153,000, an increase of $306,000 from same three month period in 2008. This change from 2008 was principally due to the increase of $63,000 in trade accounts receivable, an increase of $172,000 in trade accounts payable, an increase in net income of $113,000 and an increase in other non-cash items of $20,000, offset by a $64,000 decrease in stock, stock warrants and stock options issued for fees and services. We have modified our business model and have been evolving away from sales of alkaline admixture and royalty-based revenue agreements that typically generate a higher gross profit margin, to long-term and sustainable revenue based on integrated N-Viro technology and operations, but typically generating a lower gross profit margin. From 2006 to the first quarter of 2009, the percentage of combined revenues generated from our owned and operated facilities in Toledo and Volusia County was: 2006 - 46%; 2007 - 77%; 2008 - 94%; first quarter 2009 - 96%. We believe this shift will allow us to enhance future revenue and profits through growth, efficiency and revenue optimization. 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. For 2008 and continuing into 2009, our customers slowed the overall payment rate on our outstanding receivables, which in turn contributed to us extending payment times to our vendors on our payables. We make no assurances that payments from our customer or payments to our vendors will become shorter and this may have an adverse impact on our continuing operations. During the first quarter of 2009, the Company had a line of credit up to $400,000 at the prime rate (3.25% at March 31, 2009) plus 1.5% and secured by a first lien on all assets of the Company, with Monroe Bank + Trust, or the Bank, with a maturity date of October 15, 2009. Two certificates of deposit totaling $139,292 from the Bank are held as a condition of maintaining the line of credit. At March 31, 2009, the Company had $38,142 of borrowing capacity under the credit facility. On December 28, 2006, the Company purchased the remaining ownership interest in Florida N-Viro for $500,000 and financed $400,000 of it by delivering a note to the seller, VFL Technology Corporation. The note is at 8% interest for 10 years, to be paid in annual installments, including interest, of $59,612, subject to an offset for royalties due us under a patent license agreement from the same party. The amount owed on the note as of March 31, 2009 was $374,000 and the second annual installment of $31,000 was paid on time in April 2009. The third annual installment of $34,000 is expected to be paid on time in early 2010, subject to expected royalty offsets through 2009. During the first quarter of 2009, the Company did not borrow any additional funds. For the remainder of 2009 and into 2010, we expect to continue improvements in operating results by focusing on existing and expected new sources of revenue, especially from our N-Viro Fuel technology, and cash generated from equity issuances and exercises of outstanding warrants and options. We expect that market developments favoring cleaner burning renewable energy sources and ongoing discussions with companies in the fuel and wastewater industries could provide enhanced liquidity and have a positive impact on future operations. We continue to pursue opportunities with strategic partners for the development and commercialization of the patented N-Viro Fuel technology. In addition, we are focusing on the development of regional biosolids processing facilities, and are currently in negotiations with potential partners to permit and develop independent, regional facilities. There can be no assurance these discussions will be successful or result in new revenue sources for the company. Our failure to achieve improvements in operating results, including through these potential sources of revenue, or in our ability to adequately finance or secure additional sources of funds would likely have a material adverse effect on our continuing operations. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS At March 31, 2009, 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 March 31, 2009, and the effect these obligations are expected to have on liquidity and cash flow in future periods:

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Not applicable. ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING As stated in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, we reported that, based on the assessment of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2008, and we identified a material weakness. We continue to develop and implement a remediation plan to address the material weakness. To date, our remediation efforts have included adoption of an expense reimbursement policy and the hiring of an employee to assist in the financial area of our business. However, due to our continuing lack of financial resources to hire and train accounting and financial personnel, we have not yet fully remedied this material weakness. Other than the remedial measures described above, there were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2009. While we are not aware of any material errors to date, our inability to maintain the adequate internal controls may result in a material error in our financial statements. Further, because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Our facility in Toledo, Ohio, utilizes patented technologies to stabilize and disinfect municipal biosolids pursuant to a permit to install from the Ohio EPA that requires emissions be vented to a scrubber. In July 2008, an inspection of the facility by local regulatory officials revealed that the scrubber was not in operation. In February 2009, we agreed to enter into an administrative consent degree with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency ("Ohio EPA") that resolved, without any admission of fact, violation, or liability, Ohio EPA's claims that we operated the scrubber, an air contaminant source, in violation of its permit to install. Pursuant to the terms of the consent degree, we agreed to pay a civil penalty in the amount of $20,000. Payment of the penalty will be made in quarterly installments of $4,000 over a 15-month period. The first installment was paid on time in April 2009. ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS In the first quarter of 2009, we issued a total of 2,932 shares of unregistered stock to four individuals pursuant to an extension of certain warrants. In exchange for the extension, each warrant holder agreed to exercise for cash 1% of their respective number of shares that were offered under this extension. Total gross cash proceeds of $5,424 was used for operating expenses. More details of this can be found in the Form 8-K/A filed May 1, 2009. ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES None ITEM 4.
