ACQUISITION OF SEARCHOUND.COM 2000 LTD. SUMMARY Searchound.com is a 3 year old Internet property that brought the Internet its first child content only filtering search engine. Searchound.com has developed a major brand name with the assistance of its logos of "Let the Hounds Loose" and "You show me your Searchound I'll show you mine!" for searching the net. It is now poised to join the ranks of the "major search engines" and secure a position as one of the Top 50 most highly trafficked Internet properties in the world. This unique position stems from three critical elements: a. A revolutionary marketing plan by an Internet pioneer (Mark Joyner) which is soon to be implemented will allow this Internet property to join the Top 50. As characterized by Andrew Goodman, a "portal expert" and owner of Traffick.com, the new plan as "real viral genius that makes new inroads into viral technology and marketing." b. The pending acquisition of a unique search technology (SoloSearch.com) that will revolutionize the way we look for and manage information on the net providing faster and more accurate searching than ever before. c. A database of almost 500,000 loyal webmasters that is unparalleled in the Internet industry. In common business parlance: Searchound.com offers a truly superior high-demand product, an extremely aggressive marketing plan, and a massive database of potential customers and sales representatives that will enable phenomenal growth. With the acquisition, completion of the pending mergers and the subsequent investment into Searchound.com, PAN International will emerge immediately as a profitable Internet corporation. MARKETING PLAN The Internet has gone through two stages of maturation in terms of marketing - and is about to enter a third. Page 2 of 19 3 The first stage was one of euphoria. Businesses would go online giddy with the stories of easy profit. They would eventually be let down when they discovered that their website was an island. That is, no one knows a particular site exists until they are told. The second, and current, stage of developing is a conservative reliance on traditional advertising. Unfortunately, the amount of money being thrown at the advertising industry by "dot com start ups" has driven advertising rates so high that one is guaranteed a low return on investment (ROI). A new and third stage of development will be spearheaded by marketing ideas such as those found in the Searchound Marketing Plan. These ideas will allow one to compete on a global level with a relatively insignificant advertising budget. As stated by portal expert, Andrew Goodman, "...the Searchound Marketing Plan and its new technology will make new inroads in Internet Marketing and will affect revenues and market share immediately." By combining the most critical elements of viral marketing, affiliate programs, the power of direct permission marketing, and unique technology, the Searchound Marketing Plan allows for an unparalleled growth rate. The value of the customer is undeniable. Many Internet properties and their valuation relies on not only traffic as a measuring stick, but real buyers or customers. Taking this into consideration, the Searchound Marketing Plan does not just focus on the building of raw traffic (the reckless method of promotion exercised by most websites), but on the aggressive and fast-paced acquisition of technology, products and loyal users. The relative value of these customers and users will be quite high. Not only will these customers and users be acquired quickly, but they will also be acquired with an unprecedented amount of psychographic and demographic information. This data has become extremely valuable. TECHNOLOGY (NEW, IMPROVED AND EXCLUSIVE) "I can't find what I'm looking for. The search engine just sends back junk." You the reader naturally know exactly what we're referring to as you read these words. You have probably said them yourself at one time or another. The complete lack of organization and the rising difficulty (if not "near impossibility") of finding what you're looking for are felt by every single Internet user. Clearly this is the biggest problem on the Internet today. If a technology, which would allow for fast accurate search results consistently were marketed properly it is not unreasonable to expect a majority of those "online" to flock to the site offering this technology. Page 3 of 19 4 The pending acquisition of SoloSearch.com, Inc. by Searchound.com 2000 Ltd. will convert Searchound.com into a technological market leader within the portal, vortal and search engine markets. By combining a neural networking system, meta-searching, and a patented sophisticated filtering algorithm, search results are faster, more accurate and can be saved or can continuously function offline for the user producing bottom-line results that previously were unheard of. EXISTING ASSETS Leveraging the number of extremely valuable assets that already exist in Searchound will accelerate the execution of the Searchound marketing plan. In addition to an already large database of search listings, referral partners, and My Searchound users, Searchound has control of one of the largest and most powerful subscriber lists on the Internet. Currently, over 470,000+ webmasters receive PERSONALIZED copies of the "Searchound Webmaster Dispatch". A weekly newsletter is mailed to these webmasters that includes useful information to help them to become more effective deliverers of web content. Upon execution of the Searchound Marketing Plan, each of these webmasters will be personally contacted and given a compelling reason to participate in the Searchound affiliate program (ref. Searchound Marketing Plan). When you consider that each of these webmasters has the potential to contact an unknown number of other Internet users themselves, the full power of this list is realized. You are not just contacting 470,000 potential users, but 470,000 potential sales agents eagert to promote Searchound and bring millions of customers to Searchound.com. 5.
