Industry and Market Environment
Entertainment
According to the analysis from Lucintel, a leading global management consulting and market research firm, the global movie and entertainment industry is expected to reach an estimated US$139 billion in 2017 with a compound annual growth rate of 4.2% over the next five years. This growth is driven by the acceleration of online and mobile distribution of movies, lower admission prices, and government policy initiatives in developing countries.
China's entertainment and media income is expected to grow annually in the next few years. The growth of Chinas entertainment and media sector in the next few years will be pushed by Chinas economic expansion, government support as well as the injection of industry funds hoping to cash in on increasing consumer spending. Artists or celebrities help to attract more audiences towards advertisements, brands, products, or promotional events.
Artist management companies can offer artist or celebrities with various talents to the brands and companies targeting the worlds developing countries and the huge China market. Driven by the growth in entertainment industry (includes movies, media, theme parks etc.) in China, there is huge demand on talents and artists in the market. Therefore, artist management companies can capture the growing business opportunities in the region.
Movie
According to the data released by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), movie box office revenues in Asia reached US$35.9 billion in 2013, surpassing all other regions outside of North America. For Chinas movie industry in particular, its total box office grew more than 36% to RMB 29.6 billion (US$4.76 billion) in 2014, of which local films took an impressive 54.51%, according to data from the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television. One of the factors for the growth was due to the increasing number of movie screens. There were approximately 24,000 movie screens in China, of which about 6,000 had been added in 2014. Driven by the growth and enormous revenues in the Asias movie industry, there is huge demand on actors, talents, movie professionals and production units in the Asia movie market.

Sales and Marketing
GMECs marketing team works on building positive images for its artists and presenting artists talents and attributes to our clients. This has helped GMEC to appeal to many brands, institutional customers, movie or TV program directors and producers to adopt its artists to promote their brands, participate in marketing events, campaigns, movies and entertainment projects. GMEHs Assistant General Manager and Marketing Manager are responsible for negotiating with television and movie production units for artists participations in such.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Before you invest in our common stock, you should be aware that there are risks, as described below. You should carefully consider these risk factors together with all of the other information included in this prospectus before you decide to purchase shares of our common stock. Any of the following risks could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We have incurred substantial losses from inception while realizing limited revenues and we may never generate substantial revenues or be profitable in the future.
Risks Associated with the Business Operating Units
Competition in this industry could result in us losing market share and charging lower prices for services, which could reduce our revenue.
We predominately compete in the fashion model management industry with numerous competitors, from large multi-national companies to local and boutique agencies. We also compete in the general talent management industry. Talent means any model, entertainer, artist, athlete or other talent or celebrity. We endeavor to secure product endorsement contracts from branded consumer products companies for talent represented by us.
In many of our markets, our competitors may possess greater resources, greater name recognition, greater geographic reach and longer operating histories than us, which may give competitors an advantage in obtaining future clients and attracting qualified models and other talent in their markets. Increased competition may lead to, among other things, loss of business and market share and pricing pressures that could negatively impact our business.
In addition, because one of our principal assets is people, and freedom of entry into the model management business is almost unlimited, a small agency may, on occasion, be able to develop business with our clients, particularly if the small agency is successful in recruiting other successful talent.

In many of our markets, our competitors may possess greater resources, greater name recognition, greater geographic reach and longer operating histories than us, which may give competitors an advantage in obtaining clients and attracting qualified talent.
Because our principal asset is people, and freedom of entry into the talent management business is almost unlimited, a small agency may, on occasion, be able to develop business with our clients, particularly if the small agency is successful in recruiting other successful talent. The loss of our talent to competitors could cause a significant loss of revenue and impact our ability to earn revenue.
Our prospects and financial results may be adversely affected if we fail to identify, sign and retain quality talent.
We are dependent on identifying, signing and retaining models and other talent who are well received by clients and are likely to generate repeat business. Our competitive position is dependent on our continuing ability to attract and develop talent whose work can achieve a high degree of client acceptance. Our financial results may be adversely affected if we are unable to identify, sign and/or retain such talent under terms that are economically attractive to us. Our business would be adversely affected by any of the following:
·
inability to recruit new models;
·
the loss of popularity of models among clients;
·
increased competition to maintain existing relationships with models;
·
non-renewals of current agreements with models; and
·
poor performance or negative publicity of models.
We have relied upon our ability to enforce contracts entered into by models and other talent we represent. If we are unable to protect and enforce our contractual rights, we may suffer a loss of revenue.
Our success depends, to a large degree, on our current talent under management and, in the future, scouting new talent and entering into new contracts. To protect our contractual rights, we have traditionally vigorously defended our contractual rights vis-à-vis models and other talent, as well as other agencies and companies, for both financial reasons and to encourage ongoing strict adherence to contracts by all models and other talent. Such strict enforcement through litigation and other legal means could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and the potential loss of contractual rights, which could impair our results of operations and financial condition.
If we are unable to retain key management personnel or hire additional skilled personnel, we may not be able to successfully manage our business in the future.
Our key management personnel and their skills and relationships with clients are among our most important assets. An important aspect of our competitiveness is our ability to attract and retain key management personnel, and our future success depends upon the continued service or involvement of key management personnel. If we lose the services of one or more of our key management personnel, or if one or more of them decides to join a competitor or otherwise compete directly or indirectly with us, we may not be able to successfully manage our business or achieve our business objectives. The loss of the services of any of our key management personnel or other key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
If we are unable to maintain our professional reputation and brand name, our business will be harmed.
We strongly depend on our overall reputation and brand name recognition, which we believe is strong in the industry, to secure new engagements and to sign qualified talent. Our success also depends on the individual reputations of the talent that we represent. In addition, any adverse effect on our reputation might negatively impact our businesses, which is driven largely by the value of the Companys brand. If any client is dissatisfied with our services, this may adversely affect our ability to secure new engagements.
If any factor, including poor performance, hurts our reputation, we may experience difficulties in competing successfully for both new client engagements and qualified talent. Failing to maintain our professional reputation and the goodwill associated with our brand name could seriously harm our business.
14
Our revenue and net income may be affected by adverse economic conditions.
Recessions may impact gross billings for modeling services. An important segment of the modeling industry is advertising, with advertising assignments typically generating amongst the highest daily fees in the business. Because advertising expenditures are viewed by companies as discretionary and are curtailed during economic downturns, agency gross billings may also decline over recessionary periods. There can be no assurance that current economic conditions will improve or even remain stable. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer if economic conditions weaken.
If some of our clients experience financial distress, their weakened financial position could negatively affect our financial position and results.
We have a diverse client base, and at any given time, one or more of our clients may experience financial distress, file for bankruptcy protection or go out of business. If any client with whom we have a substantial amount of business experiences financial difficulty, it could delay or jeopardize the collection of accounts receivable, may result in significant reductions in services provided by us and may have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.
We may undertake acquisitions to expand our business, which may dilute the ownership of existing stockholders.
As we pursue our business plan, we may pursue acquisitions of businesses, both domestic and international. International acquisitions in particular would permit us to expand our global footprint. To finance any acquisitions however, it may be necessary for us to raise additional funds through public or private financings. Additional funds may not be available on favorable terms or at all, and, in the case of equity financings, would result in additional dilution to existing stockholders. If we acquire any business and are unable to integrate the newly acquired entities effectively, our business and results of operations may suffer. The time and expense associated with finding suitable and compatible businesses or services could also disrupt our ongoing business and divert managements attention. Future acquisitions by us could result in large and immediate write-offs or assumptions of debt and contingent liabilities, any of which could substantially harm our business and results of operations.
Any acquisitions that we attempt or complete could prove difficult to integrate or require a substantial commitment of management time and other resources.
Any strategy of acquiring other businesses involves a number of unique risks including: (i) completing due diligence successfully, (ii) exposure to unforeseen liabilities of acquired companies and (iii) increased risk of costly and time-consuming litigation, including stockholder lawsuits. If we pursue acquisitions, we may be unable to address these problems successfully. Moreover, our future operating results will depend to a significant degree on our ability to integrate acquisitions (if any) successfully and manage operations while also controlling our expenses. Integrating newly acquired businesses or services is likely to be expensive and time consuming. We may be unable to select, manage or absorb or integrate any future acquisitions successfully, particularly acquisitions of large companies. Any acquisition, even if effectively integrated, may not benefit our stockholders.
We may need additional debt or equity to sustain growth, but we do not have commitments for such funds.
We may need to finance future growth through a combination of borrowings, cash flow from operations, and equity financing. Our ability to continue growing at the pace we have recently grown could depend in part on our ability to obtain either additional debt or equity financing. The terms on which debt and equity financing is available to us varies from time to time and is influenced by our performance and by external factors, such as the economy generally and developments in the market, which are beyond our control. If we are unable to obtain additional debt or equity financing on acceptable terms, we may have to curtail our growth by delaying new initiatives. While we maintain a credit facility, our efforts to secure significant funds through debt financing have not been successful and, given the cautiousness of banks following the 2008 downturn, do not look likely in the foreseeable future.
15
Third parties may claim that we are infringing their intellectual property, and we could suffer significant litigation or licensing expenses or be prevented from selling products or services as a result.
We are not aware of any claims of infringement or challenges to our right to use any of our trademarks in the U.S. Nevertheless, we could be subject to claims that we are misappropriating or infringing intellectual property or other proprietary rights of others. Given that proprietary rights to photography, artwork and similar intellectual property rights are a fundamental part of marketing in the fashion and technology industry, we may be exposed at times to claims with respect to such rights. Such claims, even if not meritorious, can be expensive to defend and divert managements attention from our operations. If we become liable to third parties for infringing these rights, we could be required to pay a substantial damage award and cease displaying, offering or selling works, products or services that use or contain the infringing intellectual property. We may be unable to develop non-infringing products or services or obtain a license on commercially reasonable terms. We may also be required to indemnify licensees and customers if they become subject to third-party claims relating to intellectual property that they license or otherwise provide to them, which could be costly.
We may not be able to adequately protect our media rights (including any intellectual property rights we have or may acquire).
Portions of our business rely on media and intellectual property. Protecting these rights is difficult. Piracy may adversely affect our revenue, particularly in countries where laws are less protective of such rights. Further, reductions in the legal protection for intellectual property rights could adversely affect revenue.
We may experience outages, data loss, and disruptions with the technology related to our services.
Inefficiencies or operational failures, including temporary or permanent loss of customer data, could diminish the quality of our products, services, and user experience resulting in contractual liability, claims by customers and other third parties, damage to our reputation and loss of current and potential customers, each of which may harm our operating results and financial condition.
Investment in new business strategies and initiatives could disrupt our ongoing business and present risks not originally contemplated.
We have invested, and in the future may invest, in new business strategies or acquisitions. Such endeavors may involve significant risks and uncertainties, including distraction of management from current operations, insufficient revenue to offset liabilities assumed and expenses associated with the strategy, inadequate return of capital, and unidentified issues not discovered in the Companys due diligence. These new ventures are inherently risky and may not be successful. They may materially adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.
Risks Relating to Business in Hong Kong
Substantially all of our assets are located in Hong Kong and substantially all of our revenues are derived from our operations in Hong Kong. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects are subject, to a significant extent, to economic, political and legal developments in Hong Kong.
The economic, political and social conditions, as well as governmental policies, could affect the financial markets in Hong Kong and our liquidity and access to capital and our ability to operate our business.
The Hong Kong economy differs from the economies of most countries in many respects, including the amount of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange, and allocation of resources. While the Hong Kong economy has experienced significant growth over the past, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. The Hong Kong government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall Hong Kong economy, but may also have a negative effect on us. This may encourage foreign advertising companies with more experience, greater technological know-how and larger financial resources than we have to compete against us and limit the potential for our growth. Moreover, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations that are applicable to us.
16
The Hong Kong legal system embodies uncertainties which could limit the legal protections available to you and us.
The Hong Kong legal system is a civil law system based on written statutes. The overall effect of legislation over the past 30 years has significantly enhanced the protections afforded to various forms of foreign investment in Hong Kong. However, these laws, regulations and legal requirements change frequently, and their interpretation and enforcement involve uncertainties. For example, we may have to resort to administrative and court proceedings to enforce the legal protection that we enjoy either by law or contract. However, since Hong Kong administrative and court authorities have significant discretion in interpreting and implementing statutory and contractual terms, it may be more difficult to evaluate the outcome of administrative and court proceedings and the level of legal protection we enjoy than in more developed legal systems. For example, these uncertainties may impede our ability to enforce the contracts we have entered into. In addition, such uncertainties, including the inability to enforce our contracts, could materially and adversely affect our business and operation. In addition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protections in Hong Kong may not be as effective as in the United States or other countries. Accordingly, we cannot predict the effect of future developments in the Hong Kong legal system, particularly with regard to the advertising industry, including the promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, or the preemption of local regulations by national laws. These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to us, including our ability to enforce our agreements with our suppliers.
If tax benefits currently available to us in Hong Kong were no longer available, our effective income tax rates for our Hong Kong operations could increase.
We generate a substantial portion or all our net income from our Hong Kong operations. Our net income could be adversely affected by any change in the current tax laws in Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong tax authorities may require us to pay additional taxes in connection with our acquisitions of offshore entities that conducted their Hong Kong operations through their affiliates in the United States.
Our operations and transactions are subject to review by the Hong Kong tax authorities pursuant to relevant Hong Kong laws and regulations. However, these laws, regulations and legal requirements change frequently, and their interpretation and enforcement involve uncertainties. For example, in the case of some of our future acquisitions of offshore entities that conduct their Hong Kong operations through their affiliates in the United States, we cannot assure you that the Hong Kong tax authorities will not require us to pay additional taxes in relation to such acquisitions, in particular where the Hong Kong tax authorities take the view that the previous taxable income of the Hong Kong affiliates of the acquired offshore entities needs to be adjusted and additional taxes be paid. In the event that the sellers failed to pay any taxes required under Hong Kong law in connection with these transactions, the Hong Kong tax authorities might require us to pay the tax, together with late-payment interest and penalties.
Hong Kong rules on mergers and acquisitions may subject us to sanctions, fines and other penalties and affect our future business growth through acquisition of complementary business.
We cannot assure you that the relevant Hong Kong government agency approval required for any issuance of our stock will be deemed legal. We may face sanctions by the Hong Kong regulatory agencies. In such event, this regulatory agency may impose fines and penalties on our operations in the Hong Kong, limit our operating privileges in the Hong Kong, delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from any future sales of our stock into Hong Kong, or take other actions that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, reputation and prospects.
Complying with the requirements of rules to complete such transactions could be time-consuming, and any required approval processes, including obtaining approval from the appropriate securities agency, may delay or inhibit the completion of such transactions, which could affect our ability to expand our business or maintain our market share.
Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize our revenues effectively.
Substantially all of our revenues and operating expenses are denominated in Hong Kong dollars. Since a significant amount of our future revenues will be denominated in Hong Kong dollars, any existing and future restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize revenues generated in United States dollars (USD) to fund our business activities outside Hong Kong, if any, or expenditures denominated in foreign currencies. This could affect our ability to obtain foreign exchange through debt or equity financing, including by means of loans.
17
Fluctuations in exchange rates could result in foreign currency exchange losses.
Appreciation or depreciation in the value of the Hong Kong dollar relative to the U.S. dollar would affect our financial results reported in U.S. dollar terms without giving effect to any underlying change in our business or results of operations. The Hong Kong dollar may appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in the long term, depending on the fluctuation of the basket of currencies against which it is currently valued or it may be permitted to enter into a full float, which may also result in a significant appreciation or depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar against the U.S. dollar. Fluctuations in the exchange rate will also affect the relative value of any dividend we issue in the future which will be exchanged into U.S. dollars and earnings from and the value of any U.S. dollar-denominated investments we make in the future.
Any future outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome or avian flu in Hong Kong, or similar adverse public health developments, may severely disrupt our business and operations.
From December 2002 to June 2003, Hong Kong and other countries experienced an outbreak of a new and highly contagious form of atypical pneumonia now known as severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS. On July 5, 2003, the World Health Organization declared that the SARS outbreak had been contained. Since September 2003, however, a number of isolated new cases of SARS have been reported, most recently in central Hong Kong in April 2004. During May and June of 2003, many businesses in Hong Kong were closed by the Hong Kong government to prevent transmission of SARS. In addition, many countries, including Hong Kong, have encountered incidents of the H5N1 strain of bird flu, or avian flu. This disease, which is spread through poultry populations, is capable in some circumstances of being transmitted to humans and is often fatal. A new outbreak of SARS or an outbreak of avian flu may result in health or other government authorities requiring the closure of our distributors offices or other businesses, including office buildings, retail stores and other commercial venues, which comprise the primary locations where we provide our digital out-of-home advertising services. Any recurrence of the SARS outbreak, an outbreak of avian flu or a development of a similar health hazard in Hong Kong, may deter people from congregating in public places, including a range of commercial locations such as office buildings and retail stores. Such occurrences would severely impact the value of our digital out-of-home advertising networks to advertisers, significantly reduce the advertising time purchased by advertisers and severely disrupt our business and operations.
Risks Relating to Business in Malaysia
We anticipate that a significant amount of our future revenues will be derived from our Malaysia subsidiary that we acquired in October 2014. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects will be subject, to a significant extent, to economic, political, legal, and natural developments in Malaysia.
The economic, political and social conditions, as well as governmental policies, could affect the financial markets in Malaysia and our liquidity and access to capital and our ability to operate our business.
The Malaysia economy differs from the economies of most countries in many respects, including the amount of government involvement, level of development, growth rate, control of foreign exchange, and allocation of resources. The Malaysia government has implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. Some of these measures benefit the overall Malaysia economy, but may also have a negative effect on us. Moreover, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations that are applicable to us.
The Malaysia legal system embodies uncertainties which could limit the legal protections available to you and us.
The Malaysia legal system is predominately based on English common law, however, there are other, secondary, legal systems including Islamic law which is state law and which only applies to Muslims. . These laws, regulations and legal requirements change frequently, and their interpretation and enforcement involve uncertainties. These uncertainties may impede our ability to enforce the contracts we have entered into. In addition, such uncertainties, including the inability to enforce our contracts, could materially and adversely affect our business and operation. In addition, intellectual property rights and confidentiality protections in Malaysia may not be as effective as in the United States or other countries. Accordingly, we cannot predict the effect of future developments in the Malaysia legal system, particularly with regard to the advertising industry, including the promulgation of new laws, changes to existing laws or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, or the preemption of local regulations by national laws. These uncertainties could limit the legal protections available to us, including our ability to enforce our agreements with our suppliers.
18
If tax benefits currently available to us in Malaysia are no longer available, our effective income tax rates for our Malaysia operations could increase.
We except that a substantial portion of our net income will be generated from our Malaysia operations. Our net income could be adversely affected by any change in the current tax laws in Malaysia.
Restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize our revenues effectively.
Since a significant amount of our future revenues will be denominated in Malaysian Ringgit, any existing and future restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize revenues generated in United States dollars (USD) to fund our business activities outside Malaysia, if any, or expenditures denominated in foreign currencies. This could affect our ability to obtain foreign exchange through debt or equity financing, including by means of loans.
Fluctuations in exchange rates could result in foreign currency exchange losses.
Appreciation or depreciation in the value of the Malaysian Ringgit relative to the U.S. dollar would affect our financial results reported in U.S. dollar terms without giving effect to any underlying change in our business or results of operations. The Malaysian Ringgit may appreciate or depreciate significantly in value against the U.S. dollar in the long term, depending on the fluctuation of the basket of currencies against which it is currently valued or it may be permitted to enter into a full float, which may also result in a significant appreciation or depreciation of the Malaysian Ringgit against the U.S. dollar. Fluctuations in the exchange rate will also affect the relative value of any dividend we issue in the future which will be exchanged into U.S. dollars and earnings from and the value of any U.S. dollar-denominated investments we make in the future.
Any future outbreak of terrorist attack, or similar adverse public security developments, may severely disrupt our business and operations.
There is a threat of kidnapping in East Malaysia; foreigners have been kidnapped from the east coast of mainland Sabah, the islands, and the surrounding waters and held for ransom. In addition, terrorists may be using Malaysia as a transit point including recruitment and funding activities. Any terrorist attack may result in police or other government authorities ordering the closure of our offices or other businesses, including office buildings, retail stores and other commercial venues, which comprise the primary locations where we provide our event management and promotion services. Any terrorist attack or a development of a similar security hazard in Malaysia may deter people from congregating in public places, including commercial locations such as office buildings and retail stores. Such occurrences would severely impact the value of our event management and promotion services and severely disrupt our business and operations.
Any natural disaster may severely disrupt our business and operations.
Malaysias major cities and rural areas experience regular flooding and mudslides during the countrys two monsoon seasons -- April to September and November to February. Any natural disaster in Malaysia may severely disrupt our business and operations.
Risks Associated with Our Stock
Our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, an interdealer quotation service, and OTCQB, a venture stage marketplace, and are classified as a penny stock as that term is generally defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to mean equity securities with a price less than $5.00. Our shares will be subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock.
We are subject to the penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission that require brokers to provide extensive disclosure to its customers prior to executing trades in penny stocks. These disclosure requirements may cause a reduction in the trading activity of our common stock, which in all likelihood would make it difficult for our stockholders to sell their securities.
Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or accredited investor must make a special suitability determination regarding the purchaser and must receive the purchasers written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the broker-dealer is otherwise exempt. Generally, an individual with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000, or annual income exceeding $200,000 individually, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse, is considered an accredited investor. In addition, under the penny stock regulations the broker-dealer is required to:
19
·
Deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt;
·
Disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and our registered representatives and current bid and offer quotations for the securities;
·
Send monthly statements disclosing recent price information pertaining to the penny stock held in a customers account, the accounts value and information regarding the limited market in penny stocks;
·
Make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchasers written agreement to the transaction, prior to conducting any penny stock transaction in the customers account.
Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling stockholders or other holders to sell their shares in the secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may be decreased, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities. Our shares in all probability will be subject to such penny stock rules and our stockholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their securities.
We do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future, which may limit investor demand.
We do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Such lack of dividend prospects may have an adverse impact on the market demand for our common stock as certain institutional investors may invest only in dividend-paying equity securities or may operate under other restrictions that may prohibit or limit their ability to invest in our common stock.
Our common stock is subject to price volatility unrelated to our operations.
The market price of our common stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including market perception of our ability to achieve our planned growth, trading volume in our common stock, changes in general conditions in the economy and the financial markets or other developments affecting us or our competitors. In addition, the stock market is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and could have the same effect on our common stock.
Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market could depress the market price of our common stock.
The sale of a substantial amount of common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
The OTC Bulletin Board, or the OTCBB, and the OTCQB are quotation systems, not an issuer listing service, market or exchange. Therefore, buying and selling stock on the OTCBB and OTCQB are not as efficient as buying and selling stock through an exchange. As a result, it may be difficult for you to sell your common stock or you may not be able to sell your common stock for an optimum trading price.
The OTCBB is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last sale prices and volume limitations in over-the-counter securities. Our common stock is also listed on the OTCQB Marketplace, or OTCQB, which is the venture stage markeplace on OTCMarkets. Nevertheless, because trades and quotations on the OTCBB and OTCQB involve a manual process, the market information for such securities cannot be guaranteed. In addition, quote information, or even firm quotes, may not be available. The manual execution process may delay order processing and intervening price fluctuations may result in the failure of a limit order to execute or the execution of a market order at a significantly different price. Execution of trades, execution reporting and the delivery of legal trade confirmations may be delayed significantly. Consequently, one may not be able to sell shares of our common stock at the optimum trading prices.
When fewer shares of a security are being traded on the OTCBB or the OTCQB, volatility of prices may increase and price movement may outpace the ability to deliver accurate quote information. Lower trading volumes in a security may result in a lower likelihood of an individuals orders being executed, and current prices may differ significantly from the price one was quoted by the OTCBB at the time of the order entry. Orders for OTCBB or OTCQB securities may be canceled or edited like orders for other securities. All requests to change or cancel an order must be submitted to, received and processed by the OTCBB or the OTCQB. Due to the manual order processing involved in handling these trades, order processing and reporting may be delayed, and an individual may not be able to cancel or edit his order. Consequently, one may not be able to sell shares of common stock at the optimum trading prices.
20
The dealers spread (the difference between the bid and ask prices) may be large and may result in substantial losses to the seller of securities on the OTCBB or OTCQB if the common stock or other security must be sold immediately. Further, purchasers of securities may incur an immediate paper loss due to the price spread. Moreover, dealers trading on these services may not have a bid price for securities bought and sold through the OTCBB or OTCQB. Due to the foregoing, demand for securities that are traded through the OTCBB or OTCQB may be decreased or eliminated.
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholders ability to buy and sell our common stock.
FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must, after conducting a thorough due diligence review of a customers financial condition, have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Special rules on recommending speculative low priced securities to non-institutional customers require broker-dealers to make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customers financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other relevant financial information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. These FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and may have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
There has been no independent valuation of the stock, which means that the stock may be worth less than the purchase price.
This valuation of our stock is highly speculative and arbitrary. There is no relation to the market value, book value, or any other established criteria. We did not obtain an independent appraisal opinion on the valuation of the shares.
Investors may never receive cash distributions which could result in an investor receiving little or no return on his or her investment.
Distributions are payable at the sole discretion of our board of directors. We do not know the amount of cash that we will generate, if any, once we have more productive operations. Cash distributions are not assured, and we may never be in a position to make distributions.
Even if a market develops for our shares, our shares may be thinly traded with wide share price fluctuations, low share prices and minimal liquidity.
If a market for our shares develops, the share price may be volatile with wide fluctuations in response to several factors, including: potential investors anticipated feeling regarding our results of operations; ·increased competition; our ability or inability to generate future revenues; and market perception of the future of development of wood product manufacturing.
In addition, since our shares are quoted on the OTCBB or OTCQB, our share price may be affected by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. Our share price might be affected by general economic, political, and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates, or international currency fluctuations. In addition, stocks traded over this quotation system are usually thinly traded, highly volatile and not followed by analysts. These factors, which are not under our control, may have a material effect on our share price.
We anticipate the need to sell additional authorized shares in the future. This will result in a dilution to our existing shareholders and a corresponding reduction in their percentage ownership in the Company.
We may seek additional funds through the sale of our common stock. This will result in a dilution effect to our shareholders whereby their percentage ownership interest in the Company is reduced. The magnitude of this dilution effect will be determined by the number of shares we will have to issue in the future to obtain the funds required. The sale of additional stock to new shareholders will reduce the ownership position of the current shareholders. The price of each share outstanding common share may decrease in the event we sell additional shares.
Since our securities are subject to penny stock rules, you may have difficulty reselling your shares.
Our shares are penny stocks and are covered by Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our securities including the delivery of a standardized disclosure document; disclosure and confirmation of quotation prices; disclosure of compensation the broker/dealer receives; and, furnishing monthly account statements. For sales of our securities, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination and receive from its customer a written agreement prior to making a sale. The imposition of the foregoing additional sales practices could adversely affect a shareholder's ability to dispose of his stock.

These include statements about our expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies for the future, which we indicate by words or phrases such as anticipate, expect, intend, plan, will, we believe, the Company believes, management believes and similar language. The forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of the Company and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those set forth in the discussion under Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this report. The actual results may differ materially from results anticipated in these forward-looking statements. We base the forward-looking statements on information currently available to us, and we assume no obligation to update them.
Investors are also advised to refer to the information in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, specifically Forms 10-Q and 8-K, in which we discuss in more detail various important factors that could cause actual results to differ from expected or historic results. It is not possible to foresee or identify all such factors. As such, investors should not consider any list of such factors to be an exhaustive statement of all risks and uncertainties or potentially inaccurate assumptions.
Except as otherwise indicated by the context, references in this Form 10-K to we, us, our, the Registrant, our Company or the Company are to Great China Mania Holdings, Inc., a Florida corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (US GAAP). US GAAP requires the use of estimates, assumptions, judgments, and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.
We believe the following is among the most critical accounting policies that impact our consolidated financial statements. We suggest that our significant accounting policies, as described in our consolidated financial statements in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, be read in conjunction with this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Revenue recognition
Revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold or services rendered during the year, net of sales discounts and returns. Generally revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met:
- | Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, |
- | Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, |
- | The sellers price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and |
- | Collectability is reasonably assured |
Revenue recognition policies for each of the major products and services of continuing operations are illustrated as follows:
(i) | Revenue from provision of artist management, event management, and promotion for its clients is recognized when services are rendered. |
(ii) | Revenue from artist-related merchandising is recognized when receipt is confirmed by clients according to the relating predetermined agreements. |
(iii) | Revenue from intellectual property rights on CD, DVD and video products is recognized upon delivery of products to customers. |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board and other entities issued new or modifications to, or interpretations of, existing accounting guidance during 2014. Management has carefully considered the new pronouncements that altered generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any other new or modified principles will have a material impact on the Companys reported financial position or operations in the near term.
The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. No new standards had any material effect on these financial statements. The accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to the date of these financial statements that were considered significant by management were evaluated for the potential effect on these consolidated financial statements. Management does not believe any of the subsequent pronouncements will have a material effect on these consolidated financial statements as presented and does not anticipate the need for any future restatement of these consolidated financial statements because of the retro-active application of any accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to December 31, 2014 through the date these financial statements were issued.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as specified in the SECs rules and forms and that such information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Principal Accounting Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Principal Accounting Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2014. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Principal Accounting Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2014.
Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and principal accounting officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In connection with management's assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, we identified the following material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014:
| 1. | Insufficient accounting personnel with the appropriate level of accounting knowledge, experience and training in the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States commensurate with financial statement reporting requirements. |
As a result, we have concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting are not effective as of December 31, 2014.
Remediation of Material Weakness in Internal Control
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurances with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. In addition, any evaluation of effectiveness for future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in the future.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only managements report in this annual report.
To remediate the material weakness surrounding this, we have performed and are continuing to perform, among others, the following actions:
| additional training of our accounting personnel by our independent accountants of the proper format and compilation of data for US GAAP financial statements; and |
| additional coordination with our local accountants and auditors to strengthen our controls in an attempt to supplement the additional training of our employees. |
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no significant changes made in our internal controls over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2014 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect these controls. Thus, no corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses were necessary.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Great China Mania Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries
Hong Kong
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Great China Mania Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the consolidated statements of operation, stockholders deficit and comprehensive income and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We were not engaged to examine managements assertion about the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 included in the Companys Item 9A Controls and Procedures in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2 PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Companys subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States of America, and all significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The functional currency for the majority of the Companys continuing and discontinued operations is the Hong Kong Dollar (HKD), while the reporting currency is the US Dollar.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the Companys financial position as of December 31, 2014, the results of its operations and cash flows for the year ended for December 31, 2014 and 2013.
NOTE 3 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a)
Economic and political risk
The Companys continuing operations and discontinued operations are conducted in Hong Kong. Accordingly, the political, economic, and legal environments in the Hong Kong may influence the Companys business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The Companys major operations in the Hong Kong are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic, and legal environment. The Companys results may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.
(b)
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Companys continued operations maintain bank accounts in Hong Kong and China.
(c)
Income tax
Income taxes are based on pre-tax financial accounting income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. The Company periodically assesses the need to establish valuation allowances against its deferred tax assets to the extent the Company no longer believes it is more likely than not that the tax assets will be fully utilized.
The Company evaluates a tax position to determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination, based upon the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is subject to a measurement assessment to determine the amount of benefit to recognize and the appropriate reserve to establish, if any. If a tax position does not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, no benefit is recognized
In accordance with the relevant tax laws and regulations of Hong Kong, the applicable corporation income tax rate was 16.5% on assessable profits, if any, for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
(d)
Fair value of financial instruments
The Companys financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, amount due from a related company, prepaid expenses and accounts receivables, other receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other payables, unearned revenue, short term borrowings, convertible note and amount due to related parties.
F-7
The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company, using available market information or other appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value. Consequently, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized or would be paid in a current market exchange.
As of the year-end dates, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments were not materially different from their carrying values as presented, due to the short maturities of these instruments and the fact that the interest rates on the borrowings approximate those that would have been available for loans of similar remaining maturity and risk profiles at respective year ends.
(e)
Long-Lived Assets
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over estimated useful lives (2-7 years). Intellectual property assets are stated at their fair value acquisition cost. Amortization of intellectual property assets is calculated by the straight line method over their estimated useful lives. Historical costs are reviewed and evaluated for their net realizable value of the assets. The carrying amount of all long-lived assets is evaluated periodically to determine if adjustment to the depreciation and amortization period or the unamortized balance is warranted. Based upon its most recent analysis, the Company believes that no impairment of property and equipment existed at December 31, 2014.
Long-lived assets such as property, equipment and identifiable intangibles are reviewed for impairment whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When required impairment losses on assets to be held and used are recognized based on the fair value of the asset. The fair value is determined based on estimates of future cash flows, market value of similar assets, if available, or independent appraisals, if required. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between the carrying amount and fair value of the asset. When fair values are not available, the Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk associated with the recovery of the assets. We did not recognize any impairment losses for any periods presented.
(f)
Revenue recognition
Revenue represents the invoiced value of goods sold or services rendered during the year, net of sales discounts and returns. Generally revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met:
- | Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, |
- | Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, |
- | The sellers price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and |
- | Collectability is reasonably assured |
Revenue recognition policies for each of the major products and services of continuing operations are illustrated as follows:
(i) | Revenue from provision of artist management, event management, and promotion for its clients is recognized when services are rendered. |
(ii) | Revenue from artist-related merchandising is recognized when receipt is confirmed by clients according to the relating predetermined agreements. |
(iii) | Revenue from intellectual property rights on CD, DVD and video products is recognized upon delivery of products to customers. |
(g)
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2014, there are a total of 690,101 shares of common stock included in the calculation of diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding. They are not included in the calculation of diluted (loss) / earnings per share because they are considered anti dilutive when computing diluted (loss) / earnings per share.
F-8
(h)
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
(i)
Comprehensive income
Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income are required to be reported in a financial statement that is presented with the same prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive income includes net income and the foreign currency translation gain, net of tax.
(j)
Foreign currency translation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollars (US$). The functional currency of the Company is the Hong Kong Dollar (HK$). Capital accounts of the consolidated financial statements are translated into United States dollars from HK$ at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates as of balance sheet date. Income and expenditures are translated at the average exchange rate of the year. The translation rates are as follows:
| December 31, 2014 |
| December 31, 2013 |
Year-end HK$ : US$ exchange rate | 0.1290 |
| 0.1282 |
Average period/yearly HK$ : US$ exchange rate | 0.1290 |
| 0.1282 |
This translation rates are referenced to the linked rate of HK$ and US$ guaranteed by Government of Hong Kong.
(k)
Recent accounting pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board and other entities issued new or modifications to, or interpretations of, existing accounting guidance during 2014. Management has carefully considered the new pronouncements that altered generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any other new or modified principles will have a material impact on the Companys reported financial position or operations in the near term.
The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. No new standards had any material effect on these financial statements. The accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to the date of these financial statements that were considered significant by management were evaluated for the potential effect on these consolidated financial statements. Management does not believe any of the subsequent pronouncements will have a material effect on these consolidated financial statements as presented and does not anticipate the need for any future restatement of these consolidated financial statements because of the retro-active application of any accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to December 31, 2014 through the date these financial statements were issued.
NOTE 5 ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable consist of amounts due from customers for the provision of services or sale of merchandise. An allowance for doubtful accounts is considered to be established for any amounts that may not be recoverable, which is based on an analysis of the Companys customer credit worthiness, and current economic trends. Based on managements review of accounts receivable, allowances for doubtful accounts were established as deemed necessary. Receivables are determined to be past due, based on payment terms of original invoices. The Company does not typically charge interest on past due receivables. An allowance of $4,879 and $0 was established for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 respectively
