Item
6. Management's Discussion And Analysis Or Plan Of Operation.

The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial
statements and notes thereto included herein. In connection with, and because we
desire to take advantage of, the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, we caution readers regarding certain
forward looking statements in the following discussion and elsewhere in this
report and in any other statement made by, or on our behalf, whether or not in
future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking
statements are statements not based on historical information and which relate
to future operations, strategies, financial results or other developments.
Forward looking statements are necessarily based upon estimates and assumptions
that are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive
uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and many
of which, with respect to future business decisions, are subject to change.
These uncertainties and contingencies can affect actual results and could cause
actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward looking
statements made by, or our behalf. We disclaim any obligation to update
forward-looking statements.

Critical
Accounting Policies.

Our
critical and significant accounting policies, including the assumptions and
judgments underlying them, are disclosed in the Notes to the Financial
Statements. These policies have been consistently applied in all material
respects and address such matters as revenue recognition and depreciation
methods. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States 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 reported period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

The
financial information set forth in the following discussion should be read in
conjunction with, and qualified in its entirety by, the financial statements of
the Company included elsewhere herein.

Financial
Condition And Changes In Financial Condition

Overall
Operating Results

We did
not have any zeolite sales or sales of any Company products for the year ended
December 31, 2004 and 2003. We anticipate that increased marketing efforts for
the fertilizer compound in the future will generate the required revenues to
sustain our anticipated growth. There can be no assurances that such sales will
occur or that our patent application will be approved. Operating expenses were
$1,229,148 for the current year and were primarily incurred for professional,
legal, accounting and consulting fees incurred in connection with the compliance
costs incurred with filing requirements with the SEC and with its application to
the General Services Administration to list our products on the GSA Advantage
website. The comparable operating expenses for the prior year were $246,646.
These expenses were incurred for consulting fees that relate to the registering
of our securities in connection with the filing of SEC form 10KSB as well as
general business development; management fees paid to our Chief Executive
Officer in lieu of wages; licenses and fees for registering our securities;
professional fees for legal and accounting fees for completing our quarterly
filing requirements for the Securities and Exchange Commission; travel expenses
for marketing and attending trade shows and non-cash charges for services
rendered where the payee accepted our common stock in lieu of cash.

We
incurred a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2004 of $1,215,498 as
compared to a net loss of $476,442 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The
2003 losses were attributable to the aforementioned operating expenses, and the
discontinued operations of New Wave Media.

Results
of Operations for year ended December 31, 2004 as compared with the prior year
ended December 31, 2003.

We
generated $1,290 in revenues during the year ended December 31, 2004 versus $0
for the year
