Boca Raton, Florida – February 21, 2023 – SMC Entertainment, Inc. (“SMC” or the “Company”) (OTC: SMCE), an incubator company focused on acquisition and support of commercialized financial services and technology (Fintech) companies, and Genesis Financial Inc. (“Genesis”), a diversified financial services company with a focus on Fintech-powered wealth management advisory services, are pleased to announce that they have reached an agreement to vary the nature and scope of the relationship between the two companies (“Agreement”) due to existing limitations and restrictions in the Australian financial services sector. Pursuant to the Agreement, SMC and Genesis have agreed:

 

●      to terminate the stock purchase agreement (“Stock Purchase Agreement”) that was executed on November 18, 2021, between SMC and Genesis whereby SMC acquires majority interest in Genesis;

●      SMC grants Genesis the right to acquire a 10% equity interest in SMC for the sum of $3,000,000 by issuing 300,000 Series B Preferred Shares of SMC to Genesis (on a fully diluted basis); giving SMC a valuation of $30 million post completion of SMC’s recently announced Letter of Intent to acquire AI-enabled wealth management technology platform provider, Fyniti Global Equities EBT Inc. (“Fyniti”);

●      SMC receives $300,000 from Genesis; $50,000 upon Agreement execution and $250,000 within sixty (60) days thereafter;

●      SMC and Genesis will execute a distribution agreement (“Distribution” Agreement”) whereby Genesis will market, promote, and distribute SMC’s Fintech products on exclusive basis in the Australian market. As an inducement for signing the Distribution Agreement, SMC will issue to Genesis 20,000,000 common shares from SMC’s treasury. These shares will be “restricted securities” for purposes of the 1933 Act or Rule 144 for at least two (2) years from date of issuance;

●      Mr. Chuck Provini will remain on SMC’s board of Directors; and

●      Mr. Warwick Kerridge will head SMC’s newly created advisory board and will be SMC’s consultant in Australia.

 

“It has become clear that the regulatory framework within which our business operates demands a separation of product and service and to that end it is necessary that the nature of our commercial relationship needed to change to ensure that both parties and their respective stakeholders have a clear vision of the services they offer and the manner in which those products and services are marketed,” said Warwick Kerridge, Director of Genesis. “The changes that we have agreed to will allow both companies to work together in an environment that is not conflictual and is complimentary. This is by no means an agreement to separate but one which allows a closer connection. Genesis will continue to review its broader commercial objectives regarding the wider broker dealer and advisory services and we are actively considering opportunities.”

 

"I endorse wholeheartedly the comments made by Warwick,” stated Erik Blum, President of SMC. “We look forward to working with Genesis in a more focused manner and having our Fintech products promoted in Australia under the Genesis brand name.”

Charleston, SC, Feb. 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SMC Entertainment, Inc. (“SMC” or the “Company”) (OTC: SMCE) and its wholly owned subsidiary Genesis Financial are pleased to announce that they have executed on the next phase of their expansion plans in Australia.

​

The Company has finalized its accountant’s practice and development Joint Venture with Best Practice Accounting Group, BPAG. The Joint Venture has been executed and will be launched this morning. The first three targeted accounting practices have already signed up.

​

The Joint Venture will be co-managed by Nick Brooks, the current executive director of the FinancialLink Group (TFLG) and John Peterson, CEO of Best Practice Group (BPAG).

​

The new joint venture will assist Australian Accountants and Financial Advisers to create a bespoke one-on one platform throughout Australia. While the concept of Accountants and Financial Advisers partnering to deliver value to clients is not a new one, there has never been a strategic initiative on behalf of both industry sectors on this scale before. This strategic partnership will provide an entirely new growth and succession plan for Accountants and Financial Advisors .and provide management, and financial continuity for clients into the future.

​

"Both Accountants and Advisers have skin in the game," says John Peterson, founder of Best Practice Accountants Group. "Both parties work well together when structured to do so. Our development programs create income for both Accountants and Advisers and both are rewarded properly in the short and long term through profit distribution and balance sheet participation. There are 34,000 public accountants of which 55% are over the age of fifty, and do not have a succession plan. The vast majority of them (circa 90%) also don't have a financial planning business unit operating alongside their accounting business”

​

The unique model offers equity participation for both Accountants and Financial Advisers. Participants are vetted for suitability through the Best Practice Quality Assurance program, then actively supported from inception and thereafter. The AFSL, compliance, and specialist financial adviser support is provided by TFLG’s national and state support team.

​

TFLG Executive Director Nick Brookes said that “Traditional referral" based models between Accountants and Advisers have failed to deliver long-term success for both parties. Advisers have often been criticized by Accountants for lacking long term commitment only being interested in the "low hanging fruit" referral opportunities, while Accountants have consistently been criticized by Advisers for a lack of consistency of "active referrals" without Advisers having to do a lot of leg work to remain "top of mind" when it comes to generating those referrals from Accountants”.

​

The new joint venture offers a more diligent recruitment and selection criteria for both Accountants and Financial Advisers, only pairing up those parties that demonstrate similar levels of long-term commitment to the Intergenerational Business Model

​

The Joint venture will provide financial and wealth planning services, as well as client development services to qualifying accounting firms in Australia

​

“We are very excited about the launch of the BPAG under the “Best Practice Nextgen” brand. We see great potential in the project. It will give us a meaningful and obvious benefit and advantage in the marketplace in general, and Australia in particular. This allows us to leverage and expand our resources and capabilities to accountants, qualified investors and the self-managed super funds in Australia.” said Chuck Provini, our chairman.

​

Charleston, SC, Jan. 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SMC Entertainment, Inc. (“SMC” or the “Company”) (OTC: SMCE) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Genesis Financial, Inc. (“Genesis”) - a fully integrated financial technology company with a full suite of digital financial services solutions, are pleased to provide shareholders with a summary of the Company’s fiscal 2021 completed milestones and fiscal 2022 planned activities and guidance.

​

Dear Shareholders,

We wish you a healthy and prosperous 2022. For the first three quarters of fiscal 2021, the Company divested itself from certain assets that were previously acquired by the Company’s former management team and cancelation of over $600,000 long-term debt. During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company announced the following:

​

• The closing of its $45 million acquisition of Genesis to transform itself to a boutique premium provider of fully integrated financial technology company with a full suite of digital financial services solutions. For the first nine months of 2021, Genesis’s Australian operations generated gross revenue of approximately $15,765,000 (AUD$21,371,861) and derived EBIT (Earnings Before Income Tax) of approximately $1,035,600 (AUD$1,403,919); all figures are unaudited. At closing, 56 stockholders of Genesis representing 95.28% of the common stock of Genesis have accepted SMC’s offer. It is expected the remaining Genesis stockholders (representing 4.72% of Genesis common stock) will come on board very soon.
   

• The Company engaged the independent auditing firm BF Borgers CPA PC, a PCAOB-certified auditor, to complete SMC's financial statements audit for the years ending in 2019 and 2020.
   

• The Company retained Buckman, Buckman & Reid, Inc. to provide investment banking services, help in facilitating a capital raise and other advisory services.
   

• The Company expanded its board of directors by adding Mr. Charles R. Provini as an independent director and chairman of the board and added Mr. Warwick Kerridge as a director.

• ​

The Company’s upcoming activities for 2022 include but not limited to:

​

• File required documentation with regulatory bodies to attain reporting issuer status. This milestone will be initiated after the completion of the Company’s 2019 and 2020 financial statements audit.
   

• Up list to a senior exchange once the Company attains its reporting issuer status with the SEC.
   

• Raise funds of up to $15 million for working capital and future acquisitions. The Company has an aggressive agenda to increase revenues and expand its operation globally thru growth by acquisition strategy.
   

• Retire restricted shares. Two shareholders have provided written approval to the Company and its stock transfer agent to cancel 23 million restricted shares. Their certificates are lost and all parties are working on alternative plans to cancel them. The Company is waiting for a third shareholder to execute appropriate documentation to cancel 40 million restricted shares; the Company has in its possession the 40 million share certificate. The Company provided a proposal to a fourth shareholder to cancel 30 million restricted shares; the proposal expired and the Company didn’t hear back from the shareholder. The Company provided a proposal to a fifth shareholder to cancel 200 million restricted shares; the shareholder provided a counter proposal that is not acceptable to the Company. The Company might be forced to seek legal avenues to cancel the 230 million shares. The Company would like to inform the public that these shares are restricted and cannot be turned to free trading shares without the Company’s consent which the Company won’t provide without an amicable solution reached.
   

• Our Australian operation has concluded terms for the launch of a new joint venture enterprise in Australia which will be launched in Q1 2022. This joint venture consolidates our ties to the accounting sector in Australia and delivers financial planning and wealth management as well as best practice training and management solutions to the targeted accounting firms in Australia. It also accesses significant funds under advice and funds under management. Details of this Joint Venture will be announced in the coming weeks following completion of the due diligence and financial plan regarding the Joint Venture.
   

• Consistent with our growth plans we have identified potential acquisitions in both the United States and Australia. Preliminary due diligence is currently under way.

• ​

Fiscal year 2022 will be a defining year for the Company and its shareholders. With the acquisition of Genesis and the planned rapid growth through implementation of our acquisition strategy, the Company’s revenues could potentially reach new heights in the Company’s history. One of the Company’s utmost mandates is to focus on realizing full value of its Genesis acquisition to be reflected in a much higher share price. The Company has assembled a highly experienced team in place to capitalize on the stated objectives and initiatives.

​

Respectfully yours,
Management Team and Board of Directors

Roberts, WA – November 18, 2021 – SMC Entertainment, Inc. (“SMC” or the “Company”) (OTC: SMCE) is pleased to announce it has engaged the independent auditing firm BF Borgers CPA PC (“Borgers”) as its certified public accountant to audit SMC’s financial statements for the past two years in preparation of SMC filing required documentation with the SEC to attain a reporting issuer status.

 

On November 10, 2021, SMC announced the execution of a letter of intent to acquire 100% equity in Genesis Financial Inc. (“Genesis”). Genesis, a diversified financial services company with a focus on fintech-powered wealth management advisory services, operates its business through two Australian regulated entities in wealth management, tax and accounting advisory services. For the nine months to September 2021 the Australian operations generated gross revenue of approximately $15,765,000 (AUD$21,371,861) and derived EBIT of approximately $1,035,600 (AUD$1,403,919). All figures are unaudited.

 

Borgers will initially focus on auditing SMC’s financial statements for the past two years. After SMC’s acquisition closing of Genesis, Borgers will audit SMC and Genesis financial statements on consolidated basis. Borgers has already audited Genesis’ financial statements for the years 2019 and 2020. Selecting and retaining the services of Borgers makes SMC’s future consolidated financial statements audits, inclusive of Genesis, expeditious and cost effective.

• SMC and Genesis have exchanged second draft of the definitive agreement. SMC anticipates signing the definitive agreement soon and plans to close the acquisition in calendar 2021.

• SMC has held discussions with a number of investment banking firms/hedge funds to either lead or syndicate SMC’s capital raise to support the Genesis acquisition. SMC will make appropriate announcements once investment partners have been selected.

• SMC will be coordinating activities with its securities attorney to file required documentation with the SEC to attain a reporting issuer status. This filing will be after the closing of the Genesis acquisition and completion of consolidated audited financial statements for the combined entities. After becoming a reporting issuer, SMC plans to apply for a company name and symbol change, and up list to a senior exchange.

POINT ROBERTS, WA / ACCESSWIRE / November 16, 2021 / The newly-appointed president of SMC Entertainment, Inc. ("SMC" or the "Company") (OTC PINK:SMCE), Mr. Erik Blum, is pleased to provide a personal message and year-to-date shareholder and performance update.

​

To our valued shareholders:

​

I'm excited and thankful for SMC's Board's vote of confidence in me as the new president and it's with great honor to be part of SMC's management team. As your new president, I intend to accelerate our agile and rapid growth strategy by focusing on our immediate goals which include raising capital, become a fully reporting company, up listing to a senior tier and explore additional acquisitions and partnerships. With its recent acquisition announcement of Genesis Financial Inc.("Genesis"), SMC is transforming itself to take advantage of emerging trends in the Financial Technology ("Fintech") industry.

​

Post-acquisition of Genesis, SMC management team will be an ensemble of seasoned and talented professionals with decades of experience in the financial and Fintech industries, managing and growing public companies to name a few. Our quest for sustainable growth will be relentless for years to come.

​

To reflect on fiscal year 2021, I'm pleased to provide the following shareholder and performance highlights.

​

Debt Retirement.

As reported in an earlier press release, SMC retired $600,000 in long term debt in the form of convertible note with zero dilution to our shareholders. In our 2021 third quarter Disclosure Statement filings, under Subsequent Events section, we announced that SMC has forwarded a share cancellation and debt retirement proposal to a former executive of the Company for a lump sum buyout. SMC will make an announcement once the proposal has been accepted and an agreement is executed. SMC will use a similar proposal for other former executives, consultants, and debt holders to retire debt. Our goal is to retire (or convert to preferred stock) as much debt as possible to enhance and strengthen our balance sheet in anticipation of senior capital funding.

​

Share Capital Structure.

As at 11/15/2021, SMC's total outstanding common shares were 672,126,974 representing 498,339,506 restricted shares and 173,787,468 unrestricted shares. SMC is seeking to cancel a total of 270,000,000 restricted shares: (i) 200,000,000 shares held by a former executive; (ii) 30,000,000 shares held by a former consultant; and (iii) 40,000,000 shares from unwinding a prior acquisition. SMC will be creating preferred stock series to incentivize its management team and company insiders, preserving common shares for capital funding while minimizing dilution. At least one preferred stock series will have super-voting rights providing management with expeditious execution of corporate actions.

​

Please note, SMC's share count of 672,126,974 outstanding and 498,339,506 restricted is the correct count compared to what OTC Markets is displaying on our profile. This 20,000,000 share discrepancy stems from an April 1, 2021, share cancellation that SMC already accounted for, however, SMC's Transfer Agent has not processed the cancellation request. SMC and its Transfer Agent are rectifying the discrepancy.

​

Unwinding of Spectrum Entertainment LLC Acquisition.

As reported in an earlier press release, SMC announced it entered in discussion with the former members of Spectrum Entertainment LLC("Spectrum") to rescind SMC's acquisition of Spectrum. As part of the rescission agreement, SMC is seeking (i) the repayment of $145,274.93 which includes payments made by SMC to Spectrum's lenders, legal and accounting fees; and (ii) the return and cancellation of 40,000,000 common shares issued to Spectrum members as consideration for acquiring Spectrum. To secure its rightful ownership and protect its interest in Spectrum, until Spectrum repays owed amounts and the return of 40,000,000 shares, SMC filed a Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) filing in the states of Michigan and Wisconsin against Spectrum. SMC took these extra measures to secure, protect and preserve its investment and equity. SMC's attorney is drafting a demand letter to Spectrum seeking an amicable resolution to unwind the acquisition. In the event Spectrum decides to be uncooperative, SMC will explore other options including but not limited to seizing and selling off Spectrum's equipment to recover what's owed to SMC plus additional costs.

​

Non-core Wireless Asset Divestures.

In prior press releases, SMC announced the complete divesture and sale of previously owned wireless technology assets. One of the assets was sold to Wyoming-based privately held Aktiv-Trak, Inc. ("Aktiv-Trak") for $600,000 in cash and future Aktiv-Trak common shares ("Aktiv-Trak Shares"). Aktiv-Trak will pay SMC a minimum of $250,000 in cash and the balance in either cash, Aktiv-Trak Shares, or a combination of both. Total cash received year-to-date from Aktiv-Trak is $102,000.

​

In summary, fiscal year 2021 has been a challenging year not only for SMC's management but also for our valued shareholders. As we get closer to completing our acquisition of Genesis, we look forward to a more rewarding 2022. I am certain we will succeed and look forward to better times.

​

Sincerely,
Erik Blum,
President
SMC Entertainment Inc.

​

​

POINT ROBERTS, WA / ACCESSWIRE / November 10, 2021 / SMC Entertainment, Inc. ("SMC" or the "Company") (OTC PINK:SMCE) today announced that it has entered into a letter of intent ("LOI") to acquire 100% equity interest in Genesis Financial, Inc. ("Genesis"), a diversified financial services company with a focus on fintech-powered Wealth Management advisory services. The acquisition is valued at $45 million.

​

Genesis operates its business mainly through two Australian regulated entities in wealth management, tax and accounting advisory services. For the 9 months to September 2021 the Australian operations generated gross revenue of approximately $15,765,000 (AUD$21,371,861) and derived EBIT of approximately $1,035,600 (AUD$1,403,919). All figures are unaudited.

​

Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, SMC will acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of Genesis for stock. Genesis shareholders will receive SMC's preferred stock convertible to common. Subsequent to acceptance and closing of this transaction, management will strategize an additional capitalization plan minimally of $15 million for immediate implementation. The new capital will be allocated for further expansion, acquisitions and working capital. Management will also explore the ability to seek a more senior public listing exchange along with a reflective name change into 2022.

The Australian Wealth Management industry has over 25,000 financial advisors managing 2.2 million investors. The annual fees generated by the Wealth Management industry is close to $3.9 billion. According to AITE (2020) at least 10 million adults are underserved or not served at all by the Australian Financial Advisors. Genesis has firmly positioned itself to acquire and consolidate to expand in Australia's fragmented Independent Dealer Group business sector.

​

Warwick Kerridge, Genesis' Chairman said, "this transaction presents an ideal opportunity for Genesis to work with SMC to accelerate our growth strategy and position ourselves in the sector both in the United States and Australia to maximize shareholder value and build a platform that will ultimately allow us to become a significant player in the advisory and wealth management sector. Genesis has identified a number of synergetic acquisitions and growth opportunities in the United States and we are very confident that the acquisition of dealer advisor groups in the United States will integrate seamlessly with our existing and growing platform in Australia. It is critical to us that we have a revenue footprint in both countries so that the market and all stakeholders can easily see and understand the value proposition."

​

"We look forward to closing this transaction with Genesis in a timely fashion," said Ron Hughes, President and CEO of SMC. "The acquisition will allow us to advance our own growth strategy and enhance shareholder value. Our distinct competencies in understanding and implementing strategies for growth in the fintech and advisory sectors will give SMC a strong competitive advantage to expand Genesis' growth strategy in the United States, Australia and other Asia Pacific Regions."

Bessemer, Michigan – August 11, 2021 - SMC Entertainment, Inc. (“SMC” or the “Company”) (OTC: SMCE) and its 100% wholly owned subsidiary Spectrum Entertainment LLC (“Spectrum”), providers of venue-based family-oriented entertainment, are pleased to announce the acquisition of an additional premium ride. The equipment has already been delivered and is in operation; generating revenues in this current season and will be reflected in our third quarter, 2021 financial statements. Supplementally, the equipment will augment SMC’s tangible asset line thus further improving SMC’s balance sheet.

The equipment featured here is known as the Super Round Up, an amusement ride consisting of a circular horizontal platform with a vertical cage-like wall around the edge. The platform is attached to a motor on a hydraulic arm. The ride starts out by spinning until the centripetal force is enough to push 60 riders against the wall. This purchase was through a distress sale, whereby an asset worth a quarter of a million dollars was acquired for less than $90,000 US dollars.

 

“As mentioned before, our main goals for 2021 are to continue making tangible asset acquisitions, beefing up our balance sheet,” said Ron Hughes, President of SMC. “We’re aiming to increase SMC’s net tangible assets over the $2,000,000 threshold to qualify and attain Penny Stock Exempt status designation.”

Bessemer, Michigan – May 24, 2021 - SMC Entertainment, Inc. (“SMC” or the “Company”) (OTC: SMCE), a provider of venue-based family-oriented entertainment, is pleased to announce the retirement of $600,000 long-term debt in the form of a convertible note. The debt retirement will be reflected in the Company’s second quarter 2021 financial statements.

 

In February 2018, SMC issued a convertible note (the “Note”) as part of SMC’s acquisition of iPTerra Technologies, Inc. (“iPTerra”) and the iPMine software intellectual property (“iPMine”).

 

On March 30, 2021, SMC announced it executed a stock and intellectual property purchase agreement with Wyoming-based privately-held Aktiv-Trak Inc. whereby SMC sold iPTerra, iPMine and SMC’s AktivTrak software intellectual property to Aktiv-Trak Inc. for cash and stock. As a result of SMC’s divesture, SMC was able to negotiate a substantial reduction in the principal amount of the Note with the Note holder.

 

On March 23, 2021, SMC announced the closing of 100% acquisition of Michigan-based Spectrum Entertainment, LLC (“Spectrum”). This acquisition significantly strengthens SMC’s revenue and balance sheet. The acquisition will be reflected in SMC’s second quarter 2021 financial statements. Spectrum specializes in fair ground rides, games, food and fun for the whole family. Spectrum has been in operation for over 25 years. Revenues for fiscal years 2018 and 2019 were $597,153 and $618,204 respectively. Spectrum experienced a significant revenue drop for fiscal year 2020 due to the pandemic but expects a rebound in revenues for fiscal year 2021 as the economy opens up and market conditions improve. As of fiscal year-end 2020, Spectrum’s net tangible assets were $1,569,000. All figures are unaudited.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / March 30, 2021 / SMC Entertainment, Inc. ("SMC" or the "Company") (OTC PINK:SMCE), a provider of venue-based family-oriented entertainment, is pleased to announce that it has signed a stock and intellectual property purchase agreement ("Agreement") with Wyoming-based privately-held Aktiv-Trak, Inc. ("Aktiv-Trak") to sell SMC's last wireless assets. The Agreement is effective immediately.

​

Pursuant to the Agreement, SMC has sold, transferred and assigned all rights and ownership to SMC's wholly owned subsidiary iPTerra Technologies, Inc. ("iPTerra"), iPMine software intellectual property ("iPMine-IP"), and AktivTrak software intellectual property (AktivTrak-IP") for $600,000 in cash and Aktiv-Trak common shares ("Shares"). Aktiv-Trak will pay SMC a minimum of $250,000 in cash and the balance in either cash, Shares, or a combination of both. SMC has received first payment of $27,000 from Aktiv-Trak. The balance will be due over a 12-month period unless extended by both SMC and Aktiv-Trak.

​

As a background: in December 2019, SMC announced that it was entering the hospitality staff safety market by developing a new end-to-end software solution. In early 2020, SMC commenced development of the end-to-end AktivTrak software solution by utilizing SMC's iPMine software platform, which SMC owned thru the acquisition of iPTerra in 2018. The AktivTrak product development has progressed with the release of an Alpha version in fall of 2020. A Beta version is planned for testing in the coming months with at least one pilot project installation at an internationally-recognized hotel site is planned for summer/fall 2021.

​

With the execution of this Agreement, SMC has divested from all wireless assets and will be focusing on venue-based family-oriented entertainment products and services. SMC believes there's an excellent opportunity to acquire a number of these venues with reasonable valuations. As the economy recovers from the pandemic, SMC believes the family entertainment sector will recover at a fast rate.

To execute SMC's vision, on 3/23/2021, SMC announced the closing of 100% acquisition of Michigan-based Spectrum Entertainment, LLC ("Spectrum"). This acquisition significantly strengthens SMC's revenue and balance sheet and will be reflected in SMC's Q2/2021 financial statements. Spectrum specializes in fair ground rides, games, food and fun for the whole family. Spectrum has been in operation for over 25 years. Revenues for fiscal years 2018 and 2019 were $597,153 and $618,204 respectively.

San Francisco, CA – May 13, 2020 – SMC Entertainment, Inc. (“SMC” or the “Company”) (OTC: SMCE), a provider of wireless communications products and services, digital content and media distribution solutions, is pleased to provide the following update to its shareholders.

 

Corporate Name and Trading Symbol Change

As we communicated with our shareholders in an earlier press releases, (November 26, 2019), SMC filed a corporate action with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) for a corporate name and trading symbol change. As part of the process, SMC worked diligently with its securities attorneys to provide historical documentation dating back to Company inception in the state of Texas in 1995, a major undertaking. In addition to historical documentation, FINRA requested additional filings as follows:

 

• Background: On October 6, 2006, the management team of Zoolink Corp. (SMC’s former name from approximately 2002 - 2006) filed Form 15-12G with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to become a non-reporting company with the SEC and report under OTC Markets Group’s Alternative Reporting Standard. At the time Zoolink filed Form 15-12G in 2006, Zoolink’s last filing with the SEC was for the quarter ending on 3/31/2004.

 

From 2006 till currently, SMC has been filing its financials and annual disclosure statements with OTC Markets under the Alternative Reporting Standard guidelines.

 

• FINRA’s Additional Request and Decision: In a letter dated April 29, 2020 to SMC, FINRA requested the Company to file with the SEC the 10-Ks and 10-Qs for the nine (9) periods from 6/30/2004 to 6/30/2006 prior to approving SMC’s corporate action. Failing to do that, FINRA has deemed SMC’s corporate action submission to be deficient under FINRA Rule 6490. FINRA provided SMC the option to appeal its ruling by May 6, 2020.

 

• SMC’s Decision: SMC does not have the historical financial information to successfully complete FINRA’s requested filings. This would be a costly undertaking and a financial burden to produce two years of historical audited financial statements. We are of the opinion the benefit doesn’t justify the expense and therefore SMC has decided to accept FINRA’s decision. In addition, SMC has decided not to appeal FINRA’s decision since the likelihood of changing the outcome is extremely low.

 

• Moving Forward Plan: We would’ve liked to roll out our expanded business plan under the FiberSky brand; however, it is not crucial from an operational standpoint. SMC will continue to operate under current corporate name and trading symbol. We are exploring other avenues to utilize the FiberSky brand. Acquisitions and revenue growth will continue to be our focus.

 

 

 

OTC Markets Filings

SMC is in the process of submitting all required filings including financial and disclosure statements, attorney opinion letter to become current with its filings.

 

Appointment of Mr. Ron Hughes; VP of Communication

SMC is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Ron Hughes as the Company’s Vice President of Communication. In his role, Mr. Hughes will manage communications relating to capital markets, corporate and marketing dissemination, shareholder inquiries, as well as investor and media relations.

 

With over 25 years of business development experience, Mr. Ron Hughes was introduced to the investments market in 1992. In 1997, Mr. Hughes joined Global Securities as a Licensed Investment Advisor providing investment analysis, equity trading and capital structure to corporate finance. In 2001, Mr. Hughes became president of TransAmerican Energy Inc., and currently serves on the boards of three publicly traded companies in the United States and Canada. Mr. Hughes has been a partner with North Arm Capital Services, providing Investor Relations and Business Development services to domestic and international clients for nearly three decades. Mr. Hughes completed studies in International Marketing and Management from University of Hawaii (1988), and Resource Economics from the University of Alberta (1987).

 

Share Capital Structure

The Company has received a number of inquiries with respect to its share capital structure. The Company is pleased to confirm there have been no changes to its share capital structure since last reported in 2019. There seems to be confusion on the definitions of non-restricted and public float common shares. The Company’s Transfer Agent has confirmed non-restricted common shares are the same as public float common shares, which is calculated as outstanding common shares less restricted common share. In light of the above confirmation, the Company updated its share capital structure profile on OTC Markets website. The Company encourages its shareholders to directly contact its Transfer Agent and request a current share capital structure.

 

As of today’s date, SMC’s total outstanding common shares are 346,626,974. The breakdown of outstanding common shares is as follows: total restricted common shares are 223,339,506; and total non-restricted/public float common shares are 123,287,468. Out of non-restricted/public float common shares, Cede & Co (DTC) holds 64,329,070 common shares. It’s the Company’s understanding that DTC’s position of 64,329,070 common shares reflects available shares that can be traded by the public.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via OTC PR WIRE – SMC Entertainment, Inc. (“SMC” or the “Company”) (OTC: SMCE), a provider of wireless communications services, digital content and media distribution solutions, released the following shareholder update from SMC’s Chairman and CEO Rick Bjorklund as part of his commitment to continually communicate with shareholders.

​

Dear Valued Current and Future Shareholders:

SMC’s management team has been working on a number of initiatives to diversify our Company’s business strategies. Unlocking shareholder value remains the cornerstone of our management team goal.

 

Future Acquisitions. We continue to look for and evaluate complementary acquisitions that fit within our frame of business strategies and growth opportunities. The recently completed acquisition of FiberSKY Networks, Inc. is a prime example of what we see as our growth and diversification strategies.

Additional Management Team Members. The current SMC management team will be the main driver for our anticipated growth. As we acquire additional companies, there could be management team expansion and additional officers and Board members.

 

Update on Corporate Name and Trading Symbol Change. Per earlier communication, it’s our intention to rebrand SMC from its current name to FIBERSKY CORP., and change our trading symbol. Our securities attorney has responded to the majority of FINRA’s comments and clarification requests. One item remains to be addressed that deals with a historical filing that predates current management’s knowledge. We expect our securities attorney to address this and other items that might arise in the course of FINRA’s review very soon.

 

Share Capital Structure. According to SMC’s Stock Transfer Agent’s records and as at 11/25/2019, our total outstanding common shares are 346,626,974; total restricted common shares are 223,339,506; total non-restricted common shares are 123,287,468; total Cede & Co (DTC) common shares are 64,329,070; and public float common shares are 75,769,070.

 

As we come to the closing of 2019, we are proud of the initiatives and decisions we made to build a stronger foundation for our anticipated growth in 2020 and beyond. Our management team and group of companies thrive on the energy of our mission and goals.

 

Best Regards,
Rick Bjorklund
Chairman and CEO

MDS patents can be embedded in solution offerings to any deemed sensitive environment including government, healthcare, banking, research, 3D printing, media, and gaming. The need for protection against worldwide cyber extraction renders itself to the MDS stealth technology. In addition to licensing its patents, White Hat intends to vigorously pursue infringements on any of its patents. The full texts of the three patents are available on USPTO’s website www.uspto.gov, patent numbers 8,719,946; 9,576,114; and 10,078,737.

San Francisco, CA – November 6, 2019 – SMC Entertainment, Inc. (“SMC” or the “Company”) (OTC: SMCE), a provider of wireless communications services, digital content and media distribution solutions, is pleased to provide the following performance update to its shareholders.

Acquisition closing of White Hat Vision LLC and Song1 LLC. As stated in the Company’s press release dated 11/4/2019, we executed a Letter of Intent to acquire White Hat Vision LLC and Song1 LLC. The closing process involves the creation and execution of multiple agreements including but not limited to membership unit purchase agreements, patent assignment and intellectual property transfer agreements. We expect multiple attorneys to be involved representing the sellers and the Company. These activities will take time, however, our intention is to close the transaction expeditiously without compromising the due diligence process.

​

Refocused and expanded business strategies. From the outset, we maintained we will grow SMC thru acquisitions. With our recent acquisition completion of FiberSKY Networks, Inc. followed up with the execution of Letter of Intent to acquire White Hat Vision and Song1, these additions will broaden SMC’s business plan in wireless mobility and digital content related opportunities. Our vision is bring technologies that will enhance our offerings to Wireless Internet Service Providers (“WISPs”) in under- served markets including but not limited to digital content distribution, cyber security and wireless communications. We’re focusing on those technologies that will form the initial building blocks for our ultimate market push with nation-wide WISPs. Moving forward, we continue to look for additional complementary opportunities that will not only vertically integrate our portfolio of technologies, but also increase revenues.

​

Corporate Funding and investment. We continue to evaluate a number of investment options that will help expedite our business and growth strategies aimed at enhancing shareholder value. We will be selective in choosing the right funding partner.

​

Corporate Name and Symbol Change. To better reflect our expanded and refocused business strategies and per our earlier announcement, it’s our intention to rebrand the Company name from its current name SMC Entertainment Inc. to FIBERSKY CORP. Our securities attorney submitted a corporate action with FINRA and we have received comments back from FINRA requesting additional clarification and documentation. It has taken us longer than expected to gather the requested documents, some dating back to Company inception which predates current management. We believe our securities attorney has a complete reply package and ready for submission very soon. To facilitate the name branding, the Company has officially changed its name to FIBERSKY CORP. with the state of Nevada, and has a new CUSIP number that will become effective once FINRA approves the name and symbol change corporate action.
