ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Plan of Operations

As used herein the term "Company"  refers to Torchmail  Communications,  Inc., a
Delaware corporation,  its consolidated entities,  and its predecessors,  unless
the context indicates  otherwise.  The Company emerged from bankruptcy on August
21, 1999.  The Company is currently a shell  company whose purpose is to acquire
operations by acquisition, merger or through forming its own start-up business.

The Company is in the process of  attempting to identify and acquire a favorable
business  opportunity.  On March 22, 2000,  the Board of Directors  accepted the
terms of an agreement to provide a  controlling  interest of ERLY's common stock
to Hudson  Consulting Group, Inc. for $120,000 cash. The Company was then merged
into  Torchmail  Communications,  Inc. on January 24,  2001,  for the purpose of
changing the domicile of the Company from California to Delaware. As part of the
merger  for the  purpose of  changing  domicile,  the  Company  also  affected a
reverse-split of its outstanding  shares.  Shareholders of ERLY stock received 1
share of Torchmail Communications, Inc. stock for each 100 shares of ERLY stock.
Uneven  shares  were  rounded  up.  The  Company is  presently  seeking a merger
candidate.  The  Company is  uncertain  as to its  ability to locate an adequate
merger candidate and since the Company has relatively no assets,  its ability to
remain a going concern is questionable. Currently, Hudson Consulting Group, Inc.
pays expenses as incurred by the Company.

The Company's plan of operation for the coming year is to identify and acquire a
favorable business  opportunity.  The Company does not plan to limit its options
to any particular  industry,  but will evaluate each  opportunity on its merits.
Since the Company has no operations at present,  its cash needs are minimal. The
Company believes it can meet its cash needs for the foreseeable  future from its
current assets or from payments made in its behalf by Hudson  Consulting  Group,
Inc.

The  Company  has no plans for the  purchase  or sale of any plant or  equipment
during the coming fiscal year.

The  Company  was  briefly a  holding  company  but is now,  at the time of this
filing, a development stage company and currently has no employees.  The Company
has no current plans to make any changes in the number of employees.
