Issued: 8,128,206 common shares with
par value of $0.0001 each
(1999 - 8,128,206) $285,165 $285,165
3. Related Party Transaction
A sum of $44,000 (1999 - $nil) was charged, and was payable to, Alnoor
Kassam, President, on account of accounting and management fees
4. Subsequent Event
On February 9, 2000, the Corporation closed an agreement to purchase 100%
of the shares of Nano World Colloid & Coating LLC, a corporation
incorporated under the laws of the State of Wyoming. The purchase price was
$500,000 U.S. dollars and 5,000,000 shares of the company.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
On or about January 31, 2000, Breccia International Minerals, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Registrant"), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement
("Agreement") with various shareholders ("Selling Shareholders") of Nano World
Colloid & Coating LLC ("Coating LLC"), a corporation incorporated under the laws
of the state of Wyoming (the Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1).
Pursuant to the terms of then Agreement, the Registrant purchased from the
Selling Shareholders 1,000 shares, representing 100% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Coating LLC. In exchange, the Registrant agreed to deliver
to each Selling Shareholder the sum of $5,000 and 5,000 shares of Registrant's
$.0001 par value common stock for each Coating LLC share. As such, the total
consideration paid for all of the issued and
4
<PAGE>
outstanding shares of Coating LLC was $500,000 and 5,000,000 of the Registrant's
$.0001 par value common stock. The purchase price will be paid by delivery of a
180-day promissory note and the delivery of the share certificates representing
the 5,000,000 shares to an agent acting on behalf of the Selling Shareholders.
Coating LLC owns the rights to the technology known as the Dynamic Thin Laminar
Flow ("DTLF") method. The DTLF method was invented and patented in 1997 with the
goal of rendering monolayer preparations compatible with industrial standards.
With the DTLF method, it is possible to produce monolayers of particles of
either organic or inorganic material and apply them to either solid or liquid
surfaces to produce a protective layer.
One of main applications is in the area of filtration. Modern filters are mostly
made with fibers randomly stacked on top of each other. We believe that the
current construction of modern filter results in a considerable loss of
efficiency. The filter produced using the DTLF method will be a membrane with a
maximum density of pores, all having the same diameter. The production process
will be automated, thus providing for the consistency of quality. We believe
that a nanofilter produced using the DTLF method will produce a more efficient
and effective filter. Typically, the nanofilter will be mounted on a supporting
screen and air will apply pressure on the nanofilm surface.
The main advantages of the nanofilter produced using the DTLF method include:
(1) The pre-determined filter diameter will ensure that all pores are equal; (2)
in situ regeneration will allow for the easy elimination of dust using a simple
back flow; (3) low costs of monolayer fabrication; (4) an exceptional flow rate
due to maximum porosity and minimum thickness; and (5) a longer life because the
increased number of pores per unit surface will take longer to fill and the
small mass of the nanofilter will allow for the usage of several square meters,
giving the nanofilter a longer life.
We believe that given the lightweight construction of the nanofilter and its
performance in tests we anticipate that it will be primarily marketed towards
the electronic industry, hospitals and aerospace companies. We believe that the
nanofilter also has applications in the military for the prevention and blocking
of viruses and other bacteriological matter.
Liquidity. At the end of the quarter ended January 31, 2000, Registrant had cash
of $155,827.00. For the year ended April 30, 1999, the Registrant has cash
resources of $259.00. The Registrant's Statement of Changes in Financial
Position indicates a net loss of $55,992.00 for the three (3) month period
ending January 31, 2000, which loss represents transfer agent, legal and
accounting fees necessary to maintain the Registrant current with its regulatory
filing requirements as well as other general and administrative expenses. For
the corresponding period in 1999, Registrant experienced a net loss of
$15,969.00.
In view of these matters, the continued existence of Registrant is dependent
upon its ability to meet its financing requirements, including, but not limited
to those financial requirements under the Stock Purchase Agreement with Colloid
LLC. Management believes that actions presently being taken, including, but not
limited to, the purchase of all of the issued and outstanding stock of Colloid
LLC, would provide the Registrant with the opportunity to continue as a going
concern. However, no guarantee can be made that the Registrant will be able to
raise enough capital to continue as a going concern.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None
Item 4. Submission of Matters to Vote of Security Holders
In or around February, 2000, at least 51% of Registrant's total issued and
outstanding stock entitled to vote voted in favor of Registrant's name change
from Breccia International Minerals, Inc., to Nano World Projects Corporation.

ITEM 1. CHANGE IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT
Not Applicable
ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
On or about January 31, 2000, Breccia International Minerals, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Registrant"), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement
("Agreement") with various shareholders ("Selling Shareholders") of Nano World
Colloid & Coating LLC ("Coating LLC"), a corporation incorporated under the laws
of the state of Wyoming (the Agreement is attached to this Form 8K as Exhibit
2). Pursuant to the terms of then Agreement, the Registrant purchased from the
Selling Shareholders 1,000 shares, representing 100% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Coating LLC. In exchange, the Registrant agreed to deliver
to each Selling Shareholder the sum of $5,000 and 5,000 shares of Registrant's
$.0001 par value common stock for each Coating LLC share. As such, the total
consideration paid for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Coating LLC
was $500,000 and 5,000,000 of the Registrant's $.0001 par value common stock.
The purchase price was to be paid by delivery of a 180-day promissory note and
the delivery of the share certificates representing the 5,000,000 shares to an
agent acting on behalf of the Selling Shareholders.
Coating LLC owns the rights to the technology known as the Dynamic Thin Laminar
Flow ("DTLF") method. The DTLF method was invented and patented in 1997 with the
goal of rendering monolayer preparations compatible with industrial standards.
With the DTLF method, it is possible to produce monolayers of particles of
either organic or inorganic material and apply them to either solid or liquid
surfaces to produce a protective layer.
One of main applications is in the area of filtration. Modern filters are mostly
made with fibers randomly stacked on top of each other. We believe that the
current construction of modern filter results in a considerable loss of
efficiency. The filter produced using the DTLF method will be a membrane with a
maximum density of pores, all having the same diameter. The production process
will be automated, thus providing for the consistency of quality. We believe
that a nanofilter produced using the DTLF method will produce a more efficient
and effective filter. Typically, the nanofilter will be mounted on a supporting
screen and air will apply pressure on the nanofilm surface.
The main advantages of the nanofilter produced using the DTLF method include:
(1) The pre-determined filter diameter will ensure that all pores are equal; (2)
in situ regeneration will allow for the easy elimination of dust using a simple
back flow; (3) low costs of monolayer fabrication; (4) an exceptional flow rate
due to maximum porosity and minimum thickness; and (5) a longer life because the
increased number of pores per unit surface will take longer to fill and the
small mass of the nanofilter will allow for the usage of several square meters,
giving the nanofilter a longer life.
We believe that given the lightweight construction of the nanofilter and its
performance in tests we anticipate that it will be primarily marketed towards
the electronic industry, hospitals and aerospace companies. We believe that the
nanofilter also has applications in the military for the prevention and blocking
of viruses and other bacteriological matter.

World Projects Corporation.
Concurrent with the name change, Registrant also changed the CUSIP Number of its
$.0001 par value common stock from 106440100 to 63007P105. Registrant also
changed its symbol from "BIMI" to "NAPH". The symbol change will be effective as
of March 1, 2000.
