Exhibit: A




United Power, Inc. Assets




UPI currently owns IP rights to A MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-playing Game) game called Megopoly. It is the first MMOEPG 3-D board game in the world, where players may earn Bitcoins through buying, selling, and managing real estate properties in the forms of tokens, pawns and props in different virtual cities. Each token or pawn or prop is given certain value or “Megopoly Coins” that is equivalent to certain quantity of Satoshi, then equivalent to certain quantity of value of Bitcoin in real-time marketplace.   




The game allows thousands of players from different corners of the world interact with each other in real-time. Players travel (move) through different parts of a city, earning profit by investing in properties, charging rent, acquiring rare bonus assets, and selling off their investments to other players. When a player earns enough credits and passes the level-change threshold, the game will propel the player into higher levels of cities where the player will experience more sophisticated, surprising, shocking and unexpected audio-visual effects with more rewards – all in real-time. 




The goal of Megopoly is to earn Megopoly Coins by investing in properties and collecting rent from other players. Players can keep playing the game using their Megopoly Coins for the opportunity to earn more coins, or they can exchange those coins for Bitcoins based on real-time market exchange rates. 




The Game can be played 24/7 through a web browser on a PC, laptop, tablet or cellphone. It is supported by both English and Chinese languages. It is a free-to-play game for fun and entertainment. The Game’s features and mechanisms are designed for players of both entry-level and pro-level. Entry-level players can immediately enjoy the game, while pros can earn considerable rewards and exchange those rewards for Bitcoins. One of the concepts that UPI designers incorporated into the Game is, “The Sky’s The Limit”, which means a player may earn Bitcoins to an unpredictable level.  




An independent valuation from Scalar that was used as a basis for the purchase price is hereby attached.
