BUSINESS OF THE ISSUER
Video1314
Video1314 is a fast growing Chinese Web 2.0 platform (similar to www.youtube.com) that allows users to share videos, music, and audio as well as sell goods and services using videos in its marketplace. Since its launch, Video1314 has attracted millions of users and Power Telecom believes it is fast becoming one of Asia’s top Web2.0 destinations. Video1314 currently serves the Greater China region, which includes Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, and has plans to expand its Chinese platform and launch across Asia in Japanese, Korean and English The features of the site are focused on free online photo, video and audio sharing; a marketplace to buy and sell goods using video, photo and audio technologies; and online educational gaming.
Background
Unlike the early days of the Internet, the Internet that we see today has highly evolved into a platform. Previously, webmasters controlled the information on the Internet; however, today, the user is in control. Instead of just viewing, today’s users are publishing, issuing, correcting and displaying information on the Internet and this has become a way of life. Today, users are more and more inclined and accustomed to using applications without installing any software on their PCs. This has given rise to the new term,Web2.0.
More and more Web2.0 platforms are growing and proliferating on the Internet and many have become very successful throughout the years due to the advancement in Internet infrastructure, products that tie onto the Internet such as phones and devices, as well as the large increases in Internet population. As of June 30th, 2008, the number of Internet users worldwide has now reached over 1.46 billion (data from Nielsen/NetRatings).
Principal Products/Services and Markets
Video1314 focuses on four main areas: low resolution shared video clips uploaded by users for free; free online photo and music sharing as well as storage; a marketplace where users can buy and sell goods; and future syndicated programming for high resolution TV programs that can be watched over the Internet.
Video1314's target market is Asia. Initially, Video1314 targets the Greater China market which includes, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and the Peoples Republic of China. At a later stage, targets of other Asian areas with mature Internet infrastructure with high speed broadband Internet may include Japan, Korea and Singapore. Video over the Internet requires broadband lines such as ADSL, Fiber Optic or Ethernet lines. The success of Video 1314 is dependent on broadband lines; therefore Video1314 will initially target these countries. Other Asian countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Philippines are still lagging behind in broadband infrastructure.
The target population is as follows:
Stage 1
| Population | Internet Users* |
Hong Kong | 7,018,636 | 4,878,713 |
Macau | 460,823 | 238,000 |
Taiwan | 22,920,946 | 15,400,000 |
China | 1,330,044,605 | 253,000,000 |
3
Stage 2
| Population | Internet Users* |
Japan | 127,288,419 | 94,000,000 |
Korea | 49,232,844 | 34,820,000 |
Singapore | 4,608,167 | 2,700,000 |
*The above estimated figures are as of June 30th, 2008.
In today’s current competitive environment, it must provide a new platform and value for its members by offering a marketplace for its users to make money by buying and selling goods freely on Video1314 with video, photo and music marketing. By first attracting users to view content, Power Telecom hopes these users will be easily convinced to use Video1314.com as a C2C, B2C or B2B platform.
Technology
The Video1314 platform passed the beta phase and has been viewable on the web since March 2007, with its developed software and high performance servers. The site has already achieved notable performance, topping 16.6 million hit rates to its site a month. Its current servers are based in Hong Kong. The site has adopted the shortest route network management scheme and set up high-speed servers in Hong Kong and will soon set-up servers in Taiwan, Tokyo and Seoul, so as to greatly enhance the speed of video clip uploading.
Power Telecom believes Video1314 is entering a growth phase in its markets. Asian telecom companies have invested heavily into Internet infrastructure with fiber optic cables, lines and wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi and 3G. Major telecom operators in Hong Kong are already promoting high-speed broadband everywhere. China Mobile is laying out plans for high-speed broadband throughout China with 3G/4G technologies.
Apart from providing faster file uploading compared with YouTube's weakness of low speed, Video1314 provides also provides 2GB free storage for users in Greater China for uploading video clips, photos and music files.
Due to the ease of access to the Internet, growth of new Internet users, sharing of digital media and the change in lifestyles, Power Telecom anticipates a substantial demand for its platform. The demand for entertainment, moneymaking services and applications will fuel the users’ needs. It is hoped Video1314’s unique platform will itself be the choice of millions of Internet users.
Business Operation
Power Telecom anticipates three operational and developmental stages of growth and development:
Stage one: | In the first stage, the task is to increase the number of daily visits from hundreds of thousands to over one million, and to win advertising with major leading brands as clients of on-line video ads. |
| |
Stage two: | The second stage concerns the combination of video ads and transaction platforms with the aim to gain advertising profits. |
| |
Stage three: | In the third stage, Power Telecom hopes to achieve the introduction of popular TV dramas from overseas on Vide1314 in order to develop paid services. |
In order to gain user awareness for its platform, Video1314 must:
- increase its content
- establish specialty "rewards" marketing programs
- enhance the user friendliness of its platform through ease of use and multilingual capability for an Asian audience
- increase the speed of the videos to stop buffering by co-locating its servers on the “edge” nearer to end users computers on the Internet.
In addition to gaining clients of on-line banner and video advertising by means of tiered advertising packages, Power Telecom is developing third party advertising sources from Adbrite, Yahoo and Google, and also making active contacts with leading brands to benefit from the business opportunities of on-line video advertising.
Ideally, Power Telecom would like Video1314 to be a combination of the successful platform-types offered by sites such as YouTube and Alibaba, with the search capabilities of sites such as Google, creating a versatile Chinese-interface website combining YouTube's video clip uploading, Alibaba's on-line transactions and Facebook's network social interactions.
4
Power Telecom hopes to increase Video 1314’s site usage in an attempt for Video 1314 to become one of the top destinations on the web. As one of the top destinations on the web, Power Telecom believes advertisers will be attracted to advertise on its site. Video1314 plans to build a relational advertising system in which an advertiser’s ad will show products or services in relation to what the user is viewing.
All of this, combined with in-house built, low-cost, innovative performance hardware systems using Linux will provide performance, functionality and reliability which will allow Video1314 to be a strong challenger with its competition.
Business Updates
In December 2007, the fiber optic backbone capacity was upgraded from 100Mbps to 1000Mbps in Hong Kong, which is equivalent to twenty-two T3 lines. This added capacity and connection to the Internet would allow Video1314 to have the capacity to sustain over 30 million hits to its site per day. Traffic on its web site for the month of January 2008 registered more than 10 million hits, reflecting growing interest in the site's ability to offer video, photo and audio sharing experiences to its users. The activity in January represented a 300% increase compared to 4 million hits recorded in November 2007.
In March 2008, Video1314 successfully launched its "Marketplace". Marketplace is Video1314's platform that enables its members and users to buy and sell goods and services using its video technologies. The platform creates a unique customer experience through the display of featured items on the site, which is designed to drive a greater level of e-commerce activity.
Users today are able to see a seller's product in a video format rather than just a static picture. With today's advancement in mobile phone technology offering video recording capabilities, Video1314 members will easily be able to make a short video of products they wish to sell. Power Telecom hopes this added feature will increase the current web site hit rate substantially before the end of 2008. We have added RSS feed features so users will be constantly updated with the latest videos, music and photos in their Yahoo and Google pages. We have also added Facebook buttons so users can embed their favorite videos into their Facebook profile with just one click of a button.
In April 2008, Video1314.com launched a new gaming portal as part of its Web 2.0 platform. The first online game introduced was a free educational online game called Game1516, which is a Q&A game that requires users to answer questions from various topics ranging from history, geography, music, science and current events.
The game can be played at:http://www.video1314.com/game1516/index.html .
This launch is the first of a variety of online games planned for Chinese users which will be introduced with the goal of attracting increased traffic to the web site.
Power Telecom believes Video1314.com is emerging as a destination site providing content, video-sharing, commerce and social networking for millions of users. Since the beginning of January 2008, more than 1.84 million visitors visited the site based on our server’s statistics.
Power Telecom anticipates this feature will enhance the already successful aspects of Video 1314 that allow users to share video, music and audio, as well as buy and sell goods and services in the marketplace.
In June 2008, Power Telecom entered into a partnership and cross-marketing agreement with Queen Productions Limited, a leading Chinese Artist management, music and film production company. Video1314.com's site will be promoted by Queen Productions’ artists at public events, venues, in print material and in music and film publications. In exchange, Queen Productions has engaged Video1314 to exclusively promote on the Internet, their artists, music and films via Video1314.com. Power Telecom hopes this partnership will significantly increase the activity on Video1314’s site, with the expectation of resulting increased commercial activities. Queen Products represents many popular Chinese entertainers, and it is hopes that its relationships will expand Video1314’s audience at a time when significant enhancements have been made to improve its functionality and content.
In June 2008,Video1314.com recorded web site traffic with over 14.3 million hits to its site during June 2008.
In September 2008, the board of directors of IAS Energy appointed Samuel Kam as Chairman of IAS Energy, Inc. Additionally, during the week of September 22, 2008, Video1314.com received a record 934,147 hits to its web site in a single day, which is close to the goal of 1,000,000 hits per day.

Intellectual Property
The domain name, Videol314.com, was registered in the name of Power Telecom on January 10, 2007 and expires on January 10, 2013. Power Telecom has obtained adequate protection of its intellectual property rights in connection with Video 1314, including the registration of other websites with confusingly similar names and registration of relevant trademarks in the appropriate jurisdictions. In addition, Power Telecom Limited has registered various related website domain names, including money1314.com, tech1314.com, friend1314.com, market1314.com and fashion1314.com.
There is no pending or threatened litigation affecting Power Telecom or Video 1314. There are no copyright issues affecting or threatened to affect Power Telecom or Video 1314.
Competition
Power Telecom operates in the Internet products, services, and content markets, which are highly competitive and characterized by rapid change, converging technologies, and increasing competition from companies offering communication, information, and entertainment services integrated into other products and media properties.
Power Telecom competes for users and advertisers with many other providers of online services. The principal competitive factors relating to attracting and retaining users include the usefulness, accessibility, reach, integration, and personalization of the online services that we offer, and the overall user experience.
The most significant competition is from Baidu, Alibaba, Yahoo! China, Google China, Tudou and Youku.
In this Chinese market, Power Telecom also competes with local portals that are predominantly supported by local telecommunication providers or local providers of specific locally designed and marketed Internet services, some of which may have a potential competitive advantage due to an existing direct billing relationship with their users.
Material Effects Of Government Regulation
The business interest and operations in Power Telecom and Video 1314 are conducted in China. China's economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including the amount of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange, and allocation of resources. The Chinese government has implemented various measures to encourage economic development and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall Chinese economy, but may also have a negative effect on us. For example, Power Telecom may be adversely affected by government control over video sharing and the Internet. In December 2007, the Chinese Government issued new rules which held that in order to operate, video-sharing sites must be part state-owned. Regulators later issued guidance that some privately run sites may continue if they were given licenses and agreed to abide by content restrictions. Such measures may cause a decrease in the level of activity in media sharing web sites in China, which in turn could adversely affect Power Telecom.
Research and Development
Power Telecom has not incurred any research and development expenses during the fiscal years ended April 30, 2008 and April 30, 2007.
Employees
Power Telecom has no employees. It outsources all its development work, server and Internet bandwidth rental and management of Video1314.com to PowerNetix Limited, a company with common directors and officers, including management and employees.
Power Telecom or its subsidiaries has not been the subject of any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings.
Other than IAS becoming a majority shareholder of Power Telecom, there has been no material reclassification, merger or consolidation of Power Telecom or any of its significant subsidiaries.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
For all periods following September 3, 2008, being the date of the 60% acquisition of Power Telecom by IAS Energy, IAS Energy intends to prepare consolidated financial statements of IAS and its subsidiaries, which will be prepared in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. During the preparation of the financial statements IAS will be required to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, IAS will evaluate its estimates and judgments, including those related to sales, returns, pricing concessions, bad debts, inventories, investments, fixed assets, intangible assets, income taxes and other contingencies. IAS intends to base its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under current conditions. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. In response to the SEC’s Release No. 33-8040, “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policy,” the Registrant identified the most critical accounting principals upon which its financial status depends. The Registrant determined that those critical accounting principles are related to the use of estimates, inventory valuation, revenue recognition, income tax and
