DESCRIPTION 
                                     

General Background

The products and services of Alliance Bioremediation and Composting 
Company (ABCC) address a wide variety of ecological uses for aquacultural,
 agricultural, industrial, governmental, and general consumer markets.  
ABCC plans to target the bioremediation programs and services involving 
microbial products and methodologies for the biological breakdown and 
clean-up of contamination from farming operations,  petroleum,  chemical  
and organic waste sites.

Aquacultural Industry

ABCC has particularly researched and compiled microbial augmentation and 
contamination clean-up technologies for the aquacultural industry. These 
technologies have been designed for the elimination of various 
aquacultural wastes. Fish and shellfish hatcheries and farms in the 
seafood livestock
industry have an extremely expansive future. Controlling wastes and 
diseases with microbes and enzymes is the best way, ecologically and 
economically, to farm fish in large quantities. The aquacultural industry 
offers to our current product lines, and to our future development of 
products, a
huge and immediate sales market. This fast-growing market with its rapid 
turnover will be the first focus of our initial sales and marketing 
programs for these very evident and compelling reasons.
                             
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

ABCC's business strategy is to make available and to market microbial and 
enzymic products and programs designed to clean-up organic wastes and 
water, and to reduce  associated  diseases spearheaded by the 
aquacultural industry.  These products are grown under special laboratory 
conditions for maximum density and productivity.  The labs adhere to and 
meet USDA standards. These products address a wide variety of ecological 
uses for aquacultural, agricultural and commercial industries. Numerous 
contaminated sites are the subject of Federal and State legislation 
mandating and funding their clean-up. Clean water quality is essential in 
aquaculture and it is the most promising area for a rapid return on 
investment.  These products and processes can be used in all areas of 
wastewater management.                

The Company Technology

Through extensive research and experimentation, the Company has compiled 
superior products and methodologies for the conversion of aquatic wastes 
into clean environments for the raising of finfish and shellfish. This 
technology includes the use of microbial augmentation, aeration and 
biofilters in reducing the major organic waste build-ups and gases. At 
the same time they reduce pollution, disease and associated health 
hazards. These products and techniques can be applied to agricultural 
and
industrial wastes as well.


Sanitary water conditions must be maintained during the raising of 
aquatic animals. Microbial products, in particular. can produce an 
environment in which many diseases, such as Aeromonas are precluded.  
This is a particularly devastating fish disease and highly contagious.
This disease causes ulcers which necrose right through the muscle, which 
is why it is also known as "Hole-in-the-Side" disease. It can also cause 
gill rot, fin rot or blood poisoning before killing the fish. It also 
causes "pop-eye" and "pine cone" disease (dropsy) and internal 
hemorrhaging.  Poor water conditions and
maintenance, overcrowding, rough handling, and rapid temperature and pH 
changes will trigger the infection in fish.  The efficacy of our products 
in its treatment are currently being extensively tested and documented in 
Malaysia after it had been successfully used in other Asian countries.  
Vibrio strains (one of which is cholera) and other pathogenic bacteria 
are also precluded.


All of our products, both enzymic and microbial, have shown consistent 
beneficial effects for marine crustaceans and aquatic vertebrates. 
Antibiotics, which are mostly synthetic or chemical, can create more 
virulent strains of the pathogens they are meant to combat.  Our 
probiotic microbes proliferate to the point that they preclude the 
pathogenic bacteria from the environment (called "competitive exclusion") 
while they also metabolize and clean up the wastes.


These microbial and enzymic products are superior to commonly used 
products on the market today. Current documentation and application has 
indicated that these products are the best way to reduce or eliminate 
organic wastes. Rather than using  the current method of flushing wastes 
into another
environment through the use of massive amounts of excess water, our 
products can do the same job more economically and effectively. Water is 
not wasted nor are other aquatic environments polluted.

The Biological and Ecological Approach to Clean Water

ABCC's biological and ecological approach to aquacultural waste material 
remediation and wastewater management accomplish the following 
objectives:

  *Reduces foul and unpleasant waste material odors significantly.
  *Produces optimum water quality.
  *Produces high-quality organic biofilters.
  *Increases wastewater use alternatives.
  *Decreases water usage.
  *Reduces pest infestation, fungus, and diseases in aquatic livestock.
  *Reduces groundwater contamination.
  *Reduces use of harmful chemicals and synthetics.
  *Decreases costs of waste disposal.
  *Reduces toxic elements, such as sulfides and ammonias, phosphates and
     nitrites, into harmless elements.
  *Turns problem areas into profit centers.

Microbial and Enzymic Product Sources

ABCC has a virtual unending supply of low-cost microbial and enzymic 
products available from our laboratories, including the newest and 
ongoing developments.We have spent years researching and testing product 
lines in our selection process. We are confident that our sources are the 
most prolific
and innovative in the field.

Under normal conditions nature keeps the chemistry in aquacultural 
ecosystems in balance. When changes in the balance occur by overstocking 
the aquatic system to produce more product for the market, too many fish 
create more waste than can be digested naturally. The system becomes 
polluted and toxic to the fish.  Fish mortality increases the organic 
toxic wastes and pollution. Thus whole aquatic systems will die off if 
the imbalance is not corrected.

Microbial and enzymic products are significantly beneficial in 
rejuvenating aquatic systems fouled from overstocking and chemical 
additives. Most fish farms try to remedy these problems by flushing with 
large quantities of water from surrounding bodies of water and drawn from 
wells that tap the
aquifer. This further unbalances the ecosystem and expands the pollution.


ABCC provides customized blends of microbes and enzymes to address the 
major carrying capacity problems of fish farming or intensive 
aquaculture: density, ammonia and suspended solids. Oxygen is an 
associated problem which requires a combination of our product to reduce 
fecal solids, and aeration equipment, reducing suspended solids without 
flocculents, reduces inflammatory gill diseases. 

Quality Control Testing of Microbial and Enzymic Products

A continuous analysis of ABCC's  products is done at the laboratory and 
will be verified through our own testing facilities during batching. Each 
formulation will be identified,  and the strength of our products defined,
 to guarantee quality control and to facilitate proper dosages. As always,
our
microbial and enzymic products will be continuously monitored and tested.


U.S. Department of Agriculture Compliance

The Company's products requiring USDA approval have such approvals. There 
are products not requiring USDA or EPA approval.  Such clearance or 
approval is not required because these products are simply concentrated 
quantities, specially propagated and formulated, of only naturally-
occurring
microbes and enzymes. None are genetically altered.

ABCC's Primary Microbial and Enzymic Products

ABCC's primary microbes and enzymes are produced by particular certified 
laboratories to meet our higher density and quality standards. From these 
we formulate blends for specific applications. The propagation of 
microbes and the production of enzymes are proprietary secrets of the 
laboratory and
we jealously guard the identity of our sources. Microbes and enzymes 
themselves are not patentable unless genetically altered-ours are not. 
They are naturally-occurring.

The propagation of microbes and enzymes is not proprietary either. 
However, the equipment, methods and processes, quantities, densities and 
blending of the microbes and enzymes are proprietary. ABCC, in turn, has 
these microbes and enzymes shipped to our bottling and packaging 
warehouse, where upon they are combined or blended for the particular 
remediation project at hand.  With this procedure of customization, 
competitors cannot decipher the formulation of our blends. ABCC also has 
a nutrient
which we add to our blends as a food source which further complicates the 
identification of the blending. Once the blends are packaged, there is no 
way the customer can propagate the original high concentrations of the 
microbes or enzymes. Achieving a long shelf life involves proprietary and 
trade
secrets.

ABCC's products have a shelf life of 8 months to a year at room 
temperature. During this period the microbial count will slightly degrade 
on a daily basis. If refrigerated, the microbes and enzymes will go 
dormant and can be stored for  up to 2 years. They cannot be stored below 
38 degrees F, or they
will die.  ABCC has a number of basic product blends which are used in 
aquacultural applications at this time. These products are Vitanitrifyer, 
Vitazyme (liquid), Vitazyme (dry), Vitaclear, Vitablue, Vitabrew 
probiotic twin packs -  Vitashield and  Vitabiotic,  Vitazyme Super, and 
Vitadegrader.
