PART I


Item 1. Description of Business.


Introduction.


Avani International Group Inc. ("Avani" or "Company") was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on November 29, 1995.


Following its inception, Avani constructed a bottling facility in Vancouver, Canada and engaged in the business of bottling and distributing a bottled water product under the trade name "Avani Water.” The product was an oxygen enriched, purified bottled water produced from proprietary technology developed by the Company. During 2005 and 2006, the Company sold a majority of its assets and suspended its bottling operations. During 2006, the Company has moved to Malaysia the bottling equipment previously used in Canada for its domestic operations. During 2008, the Company recovered from a former joint venture partner equipment that was previously the subject of a joint venture in Malaysia. Since the suspension of its operations, the Company has not conducted any further business operations.


Avani’s executive offices are located at 108-2419 Bellevue Avenue, West Vancouver, B.C. V7V 4T4 Canada, and its telephone number is (604) 913-2386.


General.


Avani was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 29, 1995 under the name Rainfresh Technologies, Inc. and changed its name to Avani International Group, Inc. on January 14, 1997. As of December 31, 2009, the Company has no subsidiaries. During 2009, the Company disposed of its interest in two wholly owned subsidiaries; Avani Oxygen Water Corporation (formerly Avani Water Corporation), and Avani International Marketing Corporation.  


Unless the context indicates otherwise, (i) all references to Avani or the Company herein include Avani International Group Inc. and its former wholly-owned subsidiaries to the exclusion of Avani O2 and (ii) all dollar amounts are expressed in US dollars. Any reference to Canadian dollars shall be expressed as "CDN.”


Following its incorporation, Avani commenced construction of its bottling facility in May 1996 which was completed in August 1996. In September 1996, Avani initiated the production, marketing and sale of its purified, oxygen enriched water under the brand name “Avani Water”. It utilizes a unique technology which injects oxygen into purified water producing an oxygen enriched, purified bottled water.


Avani has sold its product in the greater Vancouver metropolitan area and internationally, from time to time, mainly to the United States, Malaysia and Japan. The Company also provided home and business delivery of 2.5 and 5 gallon bottles in the Vancouver metropolitan area. The Company's sales nationally and internationally, except in Malaysia, were limited.


During 2005 and 2006, the Company sold a majority of its assets, including real estate located in Coquitlam, British Columbia, and suspended its bottling operations. During 2006, the Company has moved to Malaysia the bottling equipment previously used in Canada for its domestic operations. During 2008, the Company recovered equipment from an entity that was previously



3





the subject of a joint venture arrangement in Malaysia. Since the suspension of its operations, the Company has not conducted any further business operations and has not generated any operating revenues during the 2008 period.


During 2007 and 2008, the Company received rental/royalty income from a prior arrangement with Avani Oxygen Water Corporation Sdn. Bhd. (formerly Avani Water Corporation Sdn. Bhd.), an unaffiliated Malaysian company,  which arrangement was terminated in June 2008. The Company continues to receive a two percent royalty income from product produced under that arrangement which amounts have been insignificant.


As of the date of this report, the Company is currently seeking a joint venture partner or licensee in the Far East, mainly Malaysia, for the purpose of re-commencing operations utilizing the Company’s proprietary oxygenated equipment. Under this arrangement, the Company expects that its licensee or joint venture partner will engage in the actual manufacture and sale of its oxygenated product, subject to the payment of a yet to be determined royalty to the Company. The Company believes that this arrangement will limit its ongoing overhead and operating expenses.


In addition to the above described efforts, the Company may attempt to sell its equipment and seek other business opportunities. It continues to aggressively explore other business opportunities for purposes of effecting a business acquisition or combination. At this time, the Company has no plan, proposal, agreement, understanding or arrangement to acquire or merge with any specific business or company. In implementing a structure for a particular business acquisition, the Company may become a party to a merger, consolidation, reorganization, joint venture, franchise or licensing agreement with another corporation or entity.  It also may purchase stock or assets of an existing business.  If a transaction is consumated, it is possible that the present management and shareholders of the Company will not be in control. If a transaction is consumated, it also is possible that the Company may be required to sell its water equipement. Substantial dilution may result to existing shareholders upon consumation of such a business combination. In order to provide the Company with more flexibility to effect a  potential business acquisition or combination, on July 11, 2007, pursuant to a vote of its shareholders, the Company increased its authorized shares of common stock from 400,000,000 to 800,000,000.   


Product and Product Features.


In the past, the Company has manufactured and sold its purified, oxygen enriched water in 500 ml and 1.5 liter PET bottles and 2.5 and 5 gallon bottles under the trade name "Avani Water".  If the Company enters into a joint venture or license arrangement, it expects that those product(s) will be have similar features to the prior product sold by the Company. The Company can not predict whether it will be successful in finding a joint venture or licensee candidate.


Avani Water contains less than 2 parts per million (ppm) of total dissolved solids (tds). The tds level of Avani water is considerably less than other bottled water on the market. Many regional spring waters fall between 45 and 600 ppm of tds. Total dissolved solids include metals such as iron, copper, and lead, and organic substances such as herbicides and pesticides. The limited tds content of Avani Water is achieved through a comprehensive filtration process used by the Company. The Company believes that this filtration process together with other aspects of its bottling process (reverse osmosis, carbon filtration and oxygen enrichment) enables the Company to deliver a smoother, more polished water when compared to most other bottled waters.



4






The Company's unique oxygenation process yields a water containing 26.4 mg/L (or 26.4 ppm) of dissolved oxygen which is approximately three times higher than the oxygen content level in ordinary tap water.


During fiscal years ending December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2009, the Company had no research and development costs.


Manufacturing Process.


The Company prior manufacturing process consisted (and any future manufacturing process, if any likely will consist) of the following processes. Water is purchased from the local municipality which was piped to a holding tank located on premises. From the holding tank, the water passes through the bottling process at constant pressure. The water initially passes through a 10 micron filter to remove the larger solids and then passes through a series of finer media filters to remove solids greater than 2 microns in size including inorganic metals such as iron, copper and lead. The water then passes through ozonation and carbon filtration processes. Ozonation is the strongest disinfectant and oxidizing agent available for water treatment and is a standard disinfectant for bottled water processing. Activated carbon filtration removed organic compounds such as pesticides and herbicides and associated tastes and odors. The water next passes through a seven membrane reverse osmosis process which removes particles greater than 0.001 micron. The water was demagnetized to remove remaining metals and is exposed to ultraviolet light for aseptic purposes. The water is then placed in a storage tank where high volumes of oxygen (O2) is injected into the purified water under pressure creating an oxygen enriched water product. Following the oxygen enrichment process, the water is piped to the "clean room." The "clean room" is a completely enclosed room with an over-balanced ventilation system which feeds filtered, sterile air to the room. There, the water product is automatically bottled in pre-rinsed bottles, capped and labeled. The bottles are directed to a case packer which automatically loads the bottles into shipping cases for distribution.  


For quality assurance purposes, the Company tested its product every two hours at various points in the bottling process, including its finished products.


The Company purchased the plant equipment in Canada in 1996. The bottling equipment which includes a conveyor system together with an automatic rinsing, filling, capping, labeling and casing system, allows production of approximately 100 to 130 bottles per minute of the 500 ml bottles, 30 to 40 bottles per minute for the 1.5 liter bottles and 300 bottles per hour of the five gallon bottle. The Company is able to produce either the 500 ml or 1.5 liter bottles simultaneously with the production of the 5 gallon bottles. The conversion time to one of the PET sizes from the other requires approximately one hour. During fiscal 2006, the plant equipment has been disassembled and shipped to Malaysia.


Sales and Distribution.


The Company’s products were historically sold in the greater Vancouver metropolitan area and internationally, from time to time, mainly in the United States, Malaysia, and Japan. During 2004, substantially all of the Company’s international sales were made through one Malaysian distributor, and to a lesser extent through independent distributors located in Japan and Singapore. During 2005, substantially all of the Company sales, albeit limited, were to the United States and Canada.



5






During 2004 and part of fiscal 2005, the Company provided delivery of  2.5 and 5 gallon bottles in the Vancouver metropolitan area to business and residential customers, and sells 500 ml and 1.5 liter PET bottles directly to retail outlets in the Vancouver area. In July  2005, the Company sold to an unaffiliated third party its local business of delivering 2.5 and 5 gallon bottles and renting water coolers.


During January 2001, Avani contracted with Mr. Chin Yen Ong, as a consultant in Malaysia, to market and promote its products to the Asian market. In exchange, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Ong the sum of $10,000 CDN per month and to re-imburse all reasonable and customary business expenses not to exceed $1,000 per month. On July 15, 2002, as previously reported by the Company, an agreement was entered into with Mr. Ong pursuant to which the outstanding amount of $124,800 owed to Mr. Ong was cancelled in exchange for issuing 4,160,000 shares of common stock of Avani and stock purchase warrants to acquire 12,480,000 shares of common stock of Avani. As of December 31, 2009, Mr. Ong is a controlling stockholder of the Company. Mr. Ong is the nephew of the Company’s former President. The agreement with Mr. Ong was terminated on January 1, 2005. In April 2009, the Company paid Mr. Ong the sum of $275,150 which represents all amounts due on the prior agreement.


As of the date of this report, the Company is currently exploring opportunities to manufacture and sell its water product in the Far East, including Malaysia, through a joint venture partner or licensee.


Facilities.


Presently, the Company does not maintain any production facilities. Its offices consist of 120 square feet and under a month to month lease agreement with the Company’s President. The annual lease payment is $5,065.


The Company also had maintained an office in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia which it opened on August 1, 2006. In March 2008, the Company terminated this office lease arrangement. The offices consisted of 1,200 square feet and under a month to month lease agreement. The annual lease payment was $3,158.


Competition.


The bottled water industry is extremely competitive and populated by a significant number of large regional, national, and international companies. Well established names in the industry, include Dasani and Acquafina, as well as a significant number of regional products. Many of these companies maintain significantly greater resources (including financial, technical and personnel) in all aspects of business than those available to the Company. In addition, their products have achieved enormous consumer acceptance and loyalty. The principal competitive factors in the bottled water industry are price, taste, packaging, name recognition and water source. However, the Company believes that if it is able to re-commence operations that its smooth taste and its unique oxygen enrichment will enable it to sufficiently compete against other non-oxygenated products in the market.


Proprietary Rights.


The Company has not sought patent protection for its proprietary oxygen enrichment process,



6





rather, it relies, to the extent it can, upon trade secrets to protect its proprietary process.


Environmental Laws.


Due to its non-operating status, the Company is not subject to any environmental laws. If the Company re-commences operations, it intends to comply with all governing laws affecting environmental issues.


Employees.


As of December 31, 2009, the Company had one salaried employee. The Company has no collective bargaining agreements with its employees and believes its relations with its employees are good.


Item 1A. Risk Factors.


Disclosure Regarding Forward Looking and Cautionary Statements.


Forward Looking Statements. Certain of the statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K include "forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act"). All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Form 10-K regarding the Company's financial position, business strategy, and plans and objectives of management for future operations and capital expenditures, and other matters, are forward looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon management's expectations of future events. Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in such forward looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurances that such expectations will prove to be correct. Additional statements concerning important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations ("Cautionary Statements") are disclosed below in the Cautionary Statements section and elsewhere in this Form 10-K. All written and oral forward looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on behalf of the Company subsequent to the date of this Form 10-K are expressly qualified in their entirety by the Cautionary Statements.


Cautionary Statements. Certain risks and uncertainties are inherent in the Company's business. In addition to other information contained in this Form 10-K, the following Cautionary Statements should be considered when evaluating the forward looking statements contained in this Form 10-K:


1. UNCERTAIN FUTURE OF COMPANY’S BUSINESS. As mentioned herein,  the Company has suspended its operations, and is seeking to re-establish operations through a joint venture partner or licensee in Malaysia or another country in the Far East. While the Company believes that significant demand exists in Malaysia for its oxygenated water, since its inception, except for a brief period in which it sold products through a former joint venture partner in Malaysia, the Company has been unable to establish any meaningful sales of its water product. In addition, the Company may attempt to sell its equipment and seek other business opportunities. Accordingly, the Company cannot predict with certainty the future of its business.


2. THE COMPANY’S ACCOUNTANTS HAVE ISSUED A GOING CONCERN OPINION AND THE COMPANY HAS LIMITED WORKING CAPITAL, NEGATIVE NET WORTH AND SUBSTANTIAL CURRENT LOSSES. Historically, the Company has met its working


7





capital requirements principally through the private placement of its securities.  To support its ongoing operations, the Company may require additional funds as described in greater detail below.  Since its inception, the Company has not generated any significant revenue other than during the 2004 period through a distribution arrangement with a Malaysian company that has since terminated. As a result, the Company has experienced substantial losses and, as at December 31, 2009 recorded an accumulated deficit of $8,420,722.  As of the date of this filing, the Company also has very limited working capital


3. THE COMPANY CAN NOT PREDICT WHETHER IT WILL BE PROFITABLE IN THE FUTURE. If the Company is able to effect license or joint venture arrangement in Malaysia or elsewhere, in order for it to be successful, the Company or its licensee or venturer, among other factors, will be required to establish and maintain meaningful channels of distribution. The Company can not predict whether it will be successful in developing and maintaining its new business.


4. NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL/SIGNIFICANT DILUTION. The Company may need  additional capital in order to continue its operations, which may include a licensee or joint venture arrangement. No assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in raising the capital necessary for both near term and future operations. In addition, if the Company is successful in raising additional funds, it is likely that any such additional capital will be in the form of the sale and issuance of the Company’s common stock. The sale and issuance of common stock may substantially increase the number of shares of common stock outstanding and cause significant dilution to shareholders. If the Company is unsuccessful in raising additional capital, it likely will preclude its future operations.


5. THE COMPANY MAY PAY CONSULTANTS AND EMPLOYEES IN STOCK AS CONSIDERATION FOR THEIR SERVICES WHICH MAY RESULT IN STOCKHOLDER DILUTION. Due to the Company’s limited cash availability, the Company has in the past and may in the future pay consultants and employees in stock, warrants or options to purchase shares of our common stock rather than cash. Previously, the Company paid one of its consultants in common stock which resulted in significant dilution to existing shareholders.  As of the date of this filing, the Company owes its former President and a controlling shareholder the sum of $508,723 in past due compensation and re-imbursements. Payments for services or other amounts due in equity may materially and adversely affect the Company’s stockholders by diluting the value of outstanding shares of our common stock.   


6. SEEKING OTHER BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES. The Company is seeking to acquire other business opportunities by merger, share exchange or other combination. However, at this time, the Company has no plan, proposal, agreement, understanding or arrangement to acquire or merge with any specific business or company, and Company has not identified any specific business or company for investigation and evaluation. In the event the Company does acquire a business opportunity, a change of control of the Company may result. The change of control may occur through the issuance of common stock to the owners of the acquired company which may exceed greater than fifty percent of the Company’s total issued and outstanding capital stock. Generally, the amount of stock issued in such a transaction results in significant dilution to existing shareholders. In addition, the officers and directors of the acquired company may replace part or all of the existing officers and directors. The Company cannot predict when or if an acquisition will occur, or if it does occur, whether it will result in profitable operations.


7. PENNY STOCK REGULATION. The Company's common stock is deemed a "penny stock"



8





under federal securities laws. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations that define a "penny stock" generally to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These regulations impose additional sales practice requirements on any broker/dealer who sells such securities to other than established investors and accredited investors. For transactions covered by this rule, the broker/dealer must make certain suitability determinations and must receive the purchaser's written consent prior to purchase. Additionally, any transaction may require the delivery prior to sale of a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission. Disclosure also is required to be made of commissions payable to the broker/dealer and the registered representative, as well as current quotations for the securities.  Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account of the customers and information on the limited market in penny stocks. These requirements generally are considered restrictive to the purchase of such stocks, and may limit the market liquidity for such securities.


8. VOLATILE PRICES AND LIMITED VOLUME FOR THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK. Historically, there has been a limited trading market for the Company’s common stock. The price of the common stock has been extremely volatile. Due to the low price of the common stock, many brokerage firms may refrain or be prohibited from trading in the Company’s common stock. This could have an adverse effect on sustaining any market for the Company’s common stock. Consequently, shareholders may not be able to sell their shares at a desirable time, if at all.


9. THE COMPANY DOES NOT INTEND TO PAY DIVIDENDS ON ITS COMMON

STOCK.  The Company has never declared or paid dividends on its common stock.  It intends to retain future earnings to develop and commercialize its products and therefore it does not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.


Item 2. Description of Property.


The Company maintains its offices at 108-2419 Bellevue Ave. West Vancouver, B.C. V7V 4T4 Canada. These offices consist of 120 square feet and are leased from the Company’s President and director under an oral lease agreement on a month to month basis. The annual lease payment is $5,065. The Company believes that the current lease arrangement is at a rate which is competitive with other rental the arrangements in the local market.


The Company also maintained an office consisting of 1,200 square feet in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia which it opened on August 1, 2006.  These offices are leased under oral lease arrangement with an unaffiliated third party on a month to month basis. The Company terminated this office lease arrangement in March 2008.

Not Applicable.



Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis.


The following discusses the results of operations and the financial position of the consolidated accounts of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.


Results of Operations.


Fiscal year end 2009 compared with Fiscal year end 2008.


The Company suspended operations during fiscal 2006, and thus has had no revenues from operations for fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.


Expenses which include amortization, bad debts recovery, foreign exchange loss, general and



10





administrative expenses, and impairment of intangible assets for the 2009 year totaled $250,034 contrasted with $273,766 for the 2008 period, representing a decrease of $23,732 or 8.7% from the prior period. The decrease in overall expenses for the current period is due mainly to the reduction of $122,841 in general and administrative expenses partially offset by the lack of bad debt recovery during the current year. General and administrative expenses includes accounting and auditing fees, salaries for employees, marketing fees payable to the former President, storage, rent, and other related expenses. During the 2009 period, general and administrative expenses totaled $213,034, representing a decrease of $122,841 or 36.5%, from $336,734 for the 2008 period. During the 2008 year, the Company recognized $(77,086) in bad debt recovery attributable to the recovery of equipment from the former Malaysian distributor previously written off in 2005. The Company did not have a similar recovery during the 2009 period.


Other income (expense) for the 2009 year was $6,576 compared with $44,092 for the 2008 year. Other income (expense) includes interest income, interest expense, and royalty and rental income. During the 2009 year, the Company had interest income of $4,366 compared with $18,224 for the prior year. The decrease in interest income for the current period is due to reduction of cash and cash equivalents on hand during the current period as cash was used in operating activities. Interest expense on an outstanding loan totaled $7,008 for the 2009 period compared with $7,505 for the 2008 year. The Company received royalty and rental income of $9,218 for the 2009 year compared $33,092 for the 2008 year. The income results from royalties arising from the sale of existing bottled water inventory of Avani Oxygen Water Corporation Sdn. Bhd. (formerly Avani Water Corporation Sdn. Bhd.), an unaffiliated Malaysian company, which arrangement was terminated in June 2008.


Net loss for the 2009 year was $243,458 compared with a net loss for the prior year of $229,674. The increase in net loss is due to the reasons discussed above.


Liquidity and Capital Resources.


The working capital deficit as of December 31, 2009 was $350,774 compared with working capital deficit as of December 31, 2008 of $101,489. The decrease in working capital for the 2009 year end from the prior year end reflects the cash used in operating activities during the year.


Total assets as of December 31, 2009 were $481,614 which is a decrease of $565,636 from total assets of $1,047,250 as of December 31, 2008. The decrease is mainly attributed to the $547,173 decrease in cash and cash equivalents for cash used in operating activities during the year


The Company does not have sufficient cash resources to meet its working capital needs for the next 12 months. The company will be required to raise additional funds to meet its operating needs. The Company’s projected expenditures for 2010 fiscal year are as follows: $60,000 for marketing expenses and $180,000 for general and administrative expenses. Other than as stated, above the Company does not have any projected capital expenditures.


During late 2006, the Company suspended its water bottling operations, however, it continues to experience significant losses and/or cash flow deficits. The Company can not predict when it will be able to re-establish operations as described above, if at all, and can not predict whether it will achieve profitable operations, if at all. As discussed herein, the Company does not expect to resume the manufacture and sale of its oxygenated water. Rather, it is currently seeking a joint venture partner or licensee in the Far East, mainly Malaysia, for the purpose of re-commencing



11





operations utilizing the Company’s proprietary oxygenated equipment. Under this arrangement, the Company expects that its licensee or joint venture partner will engage in the actual manufacture and sale of its oxygenated product, subject to the payment of a yet to be determined royalty to the Company. In so doing, believes that it will limit its overhead and operating expenditures. In addition to the above described efforts, the Company may attempt to sell its equipment and seek other business opportunities. Despite the Company’s slimmed down operations, the Company nevertheless may need to raise additional working capital to support its future operations. At this time, the Company can not predict the amount of funds required, nor can it predict whether it will be successful in raising such funds.


If the Company is required to raise additional funds, it likely will attempt to do so pursuant to the private placement of debt or equity. The private placement of its capital stock may result in significant dilution to shareholders (See disclosure relating to Risk Factors above). At this time, the Company has no commitments for any such financing, and no assurances can be given that the Company will be successful in these endeavors. If the Company is unsuccessful in raising required funds, it will have a material adverse impact on the Company and its ability to conduct its business in the future. Accordingly, the Company’s financial statements contain note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to doubt over the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. In their report on the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, the Company’s independent registered accountants included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s ability to continue as going concern.


Capital Resources.  The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures as of December 31, 2009.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement. As the Company has adopted FIN 46R effective January 1, 2004, there are no off-balance sheet arrangement as of December 31, 2009.


Critical Accounting Policies.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related the useful life and recoverability of long lived assets and deferred income tax asset valuations. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Long-lived Assets.  In accordance with ASC 360, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal



12





factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance now codified as FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” as the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP, aside from those issued by the SEC. ASC 105 does not change current US GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative US GAAP by providing all authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. The adoption of ASC 105 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, but did eliminate all references to pre-codification standards.

In May 2009, FASB issued ASC 855, Subsequent Events, which establishes general standards of for the evaluation, recognition and disclosure of events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date. Although there is new terminology, the standard is based on the same principles as those that currently exist in the auditing standards. The standard, which includes a new required disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events, is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 855 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Item 9a(T).Controls And Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s management, its Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the Company’s sole officer who is the principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 


Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.


The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. Under the supervision of our CEO and CFO, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 using the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).


A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, the Company determined that there were significant deficiencies that constituted material weaknesses, as described below.


1.

Certain entity level controls establishing a “tone at the top” were considered material weaknesses. The Company only has only one officer, one independent director and no audit committee.

2.

The Company has not formally adopted internal controls surrounding its cash and financial reporting procedures including the absence of sufficient management review controls and separation of duties.

3.

The lack of independent directors and audit committee exercising an oversight role increases the risk of management override.


Management is currently evaluating remediation plans for the above deficiencies.


In light of the existence of these control deficiencies, management concluded that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by the Company’s internal controls.




14





As a result, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by COSO.


Saturna Group Chartered Accountants LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, was not required to and has not issued a report concerning the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


No change in our system of internal control over financial reporting occurred during the period covered by this report, fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Avani International Group Inc.


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Avani International Group Inc. as of December 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.


We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2009, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.


The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficit and has incurred operating losses since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

AVANI INTERNATIONAL GROUP INC.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008

(Expressed in US dollars)



1.

Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business

Avani International Group Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on November 29, 1995. The Company was engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing and distributing oxygen enriched, purified bottled water under the trade name "Avani Water" for domestic and export sales. On June 15, 2006, the Company sold its real property including land, building and building improvements. After the sale of its real property, the Company suspended its production of bottled water.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As at December 31, 2009, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $350,774 and has an accumulated deficit of $8,420,722. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s plan for the next twelve months is to focus on seeking new business opportunities in Asia. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient funds to pay the expected expenses for the next twelve months.



2.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its’ wholly-owned subsidiaries, Avani Oxygen Water Corporation and Avani International Marketing Corporation. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.  The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31.

(b)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related the useful life and recoverability of long lived assets and deferred income tax asset valuations. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

(c)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

(d)

Accounts Receivable

The Company recognizes allowances for doubtful accounts to ensure accounts receivable are not overstated due to the inability or unwillingness of its customers to make required payments. The allowance is based on the age of receivable and the specific identification of receivables the Company considers at risk.

(e)

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is comprised of equipment which is recorded at cost and amortized using the declining balance method at 20% per annum.

(Expressed in US dollars)



2.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(f)

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets, acquired either individually or with a group of other assets, are initially recognized and measured at cost. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The amortization methods and estimated useful lives are reviewed annually.

Trademarks and licenses are recorded at cost and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 10 years.

(g)

Long-lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

(h)

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 410, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” which establishes standards for the initial measurement and subsequent accounting for obligations associated with the sale, abandonment or other disposal of long-lived tangible assets arising from the acquisition, construction or development and for normal operations of such assets.

(i)

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from royalties and equipment rentals in accordance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition”. Revenue will be recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is provided, and collectability is assured.

(j)

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” and ASC 825, “Financial Instruments” requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

Level 3

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

2.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(j)

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures (continued)

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, accrued interest payable, due to related party, and loan payable. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

(k)

Loss Per Share

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share" which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

(l)

Comprehensive Loss

ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income (loss) and its components in the financial statements. As at December 31, 2009, the Company had no items representing comprehensive income/loss. As at December 31, 2008, the Company‘s only component of comprehensive income/loss was foreign currency translation adjustments.

(m)

Foreign Currency Translation

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the currency of measurement at the exchange rates in effect on the transaction date. Monetary balance sheet items expressed in foreign currencies are translated into US dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting exchange gains and losses are recognized in income.

The Company’s integrated foreign subsidiaries are financially or operationally dependent on the Company. The Company uses the temporal method to translate the accounts of its integrated operations into US dollars. Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the period, except for amortization, which is translated on the same basis as the related asset. The resulting exchange gains or losses are recognized in income.

(n)

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not have any amounts recorded pertaining to uncertain tax positions.

The Company files federal and provincial income tax returns in Canada and federal, state and local income tax returns in the US, as applicable. The Company may be subject to a reassessment of federal and provincial income taxes by Canadian tax authorities for a period of three years from the date of the original notice of assessment in respect of any particular taxation year. For Canadian and US income tax returns, the open taxation years range from 2006 to 2008. In certain circumstances, the US federal statute of limitations can reach beyond the standard three year period. US state statutes of limitations for income tax assessment vary from state to state. Tax authorities of Canada and US have not audited any of the Company’s, or its subsidiaries’, income tax returns for the open taxation years noted above.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in tax expense. During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, there were no charges for interest or penalties.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance now codified as FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” as the single source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP, aside from those issued by the SEC. ASC 105 does not change current US GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative US GAAP by providing all authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. The adoption of ASC 105 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, but did eliminate all references to pre-codification standards.

In May 2009, FASB issued ASC 855, Subsequent Events, which establishes general standards of for the evaluation, recognition and disclosure of events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date. Although there is new terminology, the standard is based on the same principles as those that currently exist in the auditing standards. The standard, which includes a new required disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events, is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 855 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
