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.
