$SMCE IMVHO LOADDDDD UP AND JUST LET EVERYTHING UNFOLD ONE STEP AT A TIME!!!
WOOWWWWWW READ THIS!!!!
$SMCE ungagging the TA and what it means and recent reactions:
TA PHONE NUMBER (813) 235-4490
• The Company listens to shareholders (RARE in OTC)
• The Company is very transparent and not hiding anything (EVEN MORE RARE)
• The company has not been selling any shares. As of 3/31 the Float remains exactly the same as it does today. If the company or any note was diluting/selling (as accused of and implied) then the Float would be increasing on a daily/weekly/monthly basis (EXTREMELY RARE)
• Shareholders can feel free to call daily and get an updated float number
(813) 235-4490
• This is terrifying shorts because they can no longer accuse or use information like ( the company is diluting)
• The recent downtrend can not be blamed on company/dilution, etc.
NO SELLS TODAY AND NOT MUCH RECENTLY (SINCE TA UNGAGGED) HAS TURNED UP THE HEATTTTTTTTTTTTT IN HEREEEEEE!!!!!!!!
OH REALLY!??? That's News to me!???

$SMCE may get into top 5 of breakout boards!
$SMCE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO DILUTION!!!! AWESOME!!!!!
Not one share has been sold into the float for AT LEAST 2 MONTHS!!!!!!!!!
Yet absolutely nothing about the actual company, CEO or anything. That's all about Dwayne Bigalow as was already heavily discussed and resolved
This again as already discussed has nothing to do with the company.
SMCE is a victim of circumstances for buying the shell many years ago from Bigalow and Bigalow had shares. Did some illegal promos misleading investors. Etc
But no where in that article actually mentions the CEO or actual company having any wrongdoing
;)
Yea manipulation and shorts did a lot of damage here. But no longer will that be the case since the TA is ungagged
$SMCE some DD I've put together over the last few days: Also found out that no Dilution has been occurring since at least 3/31
Below discusses INgrooves, Kurt Heidolph, Fontana (connects them all and why possible buyout play here) and the recent Ungagging of the TA (and what it means)

# 11 on the Breakout Boards
That could be the case if the TA was gagged, but since it's ungagged, then we now know for an absolute fact that the float remains exactly the same since at least 3/31
OS being increased for things like acquisitions have absolutely no effect on the actual FLOAT for a year. So discussing this as some "Major" issue now is odd IMO.
What myself and my investors are most concerned about and were concerned about was if there was any company dilution/selling by any sort of note from 3/31 until today 5/27.
It was requested that the TA get ungagged so that everyone can call the TA daily to find out if there's any selling.. Now that we have confirmed there isn't .. then the discussion should simply end at that. I wouldn't think?
However, since the TA has become ungagged and confirms that the float is the exact same as 3/31.. it seems to have stirred up even more "conversation" which is ok. but again "peculiar"
In the meanwhile, we still have plenty of other more important DD that focuses on Who and what the company actually is and does and what we can expect in the future..

http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=113986054
But that means absolutely nothing to the float right now or anywhere in the near future does it? NO
It means absolutely nothing to shareholders now or in the near future. in fact it's most likely not an issue until 1 year from now! By then, we'll be trading heavily in multi dollars.
Most likely that was for the acquisition of Skybar Films too.
The discussion is the FLOAT and if any shares have been sold into the float since at least 3/31 which is before he downward trend to these prices.
Since the float was the exact same on 3/31 as today and on 3/31 we traded as high as .97 then that means that nothing about the float or the company has attributed to these prices.
We can argue day and night but I'm right..
Is the FLOAT Increasing daily?
lol the float is 3.5m regardless. TEENY WEENY
Factual information Shows that as of 3/31 the float remains the same as today.

There is so much more DD involved here with $SMCE and what they doing which would indicate a setup for a buyout by the likes of a company like INgrooves..
Of course this is my opinion and an honest one backed up with some research into Kurt Heidolph, Fontana, INgrooves and what SMCE is telling us in this year's PR's and on their website.
IN other words.. on top of the share structure being very optimal for share holders and confirmation of a Float that has remained exactly the same for months via a non ungagged TA
We often get diverted away from what's most important here and that is: what the company is actually doing!

$SMCE on the BREAKOUT BOARDS!! THANK YOU!
HAS ONE SHARE OF THAT ISSUE BEEN SOLD? NO
HAS THE FLOAT BEEN EFFECTED SINCE 3/31? NO
WILL THOSE SHARES HAVE ANY IMMEDIATE OR NEAR FUTURE EFFECT ON SMCE OR THE FLOAT? NO
It's topic that has nothing to do with the current situation of the current float and the current price.
Yes and now Bc of the Ungagged TA we have all confirmed the float is exactly the same as it was since at least 3/31
So in other words, when the TA was gagged (which obviously not on purpose) since at least 3/31. The float numbers found on otcmarkets were 1000% accurate
It's not an opinion but a verifiable fact backed by documents and the TA that the FLOAT remains exactly the same as it did on 3/31
Issuing shares is not diluting the float. Issuing shares means that a year from now- we can say that these shares are being diluted into the float.
But there's absolutely no immediate effect or near future effect on the float
We can go around in circles making donuts on this topic but if the float remains exactly the same each and every day since AT LEAST 3/31 (that date is used Bc the filing shows as of 3/31- it wasn't chosen out of thin air) then that means no new shares have entered the float nor have been for at least 2 months.
The share price on 3/31 was .97. This gives a great idea of how easy it is to get to this price again considering that no new shares are effecting the tradable float.
I clarified and verified again today that the $SMCE float is exactly the same as it was on 3/31
Wait - weren't we told that otcmarkets is not reliable just yesterday?
But now it is.
And?? The Float remains the exact same as 3/31 and as of today 5/27
Thanks for confirming the float
Zero Sells Today turned up the heat of you noticed
Agree, fact checking on our end has proved that the company hasnt diluted any shares for at least 2 months which throws out the reasoning that these prices are due to company dilution.
Fact checking with the filings, otcmarkets, the Ungagged TA has proved that the company has not been selling shares.
However, with them being super transparent. We can now call the TA daily to find out if the float is changing on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.
It's an absolute beautiful thing that we have such a transparent company that we can all feel at ease knowing if they are diluting on a daily basis.
2 months ago plus is not "recently"
Facts involve calling the TA and comparing the float number from 3/31 until today.
TWEETS FROM SMCE FRIDAY MAY 22ND TOLD US THEY WERE IN MEETINGS WITH INgrooves!

Earlier this year via PR's, and written throughout their website as clues- SMCE is telling us:
• They are pursuing a new business plan
• Strive to be a One Stop Shop for artist
• Digital Distribution "Pipeline"
• Targeting India and Latin America which is "untapped" for digital distribution.
• Added Music Legend Russ Regan (a legend) to their advisory board.
• Acquired a Digital Film Distributer
• Added Film Mogul Mike Marangu as Advisor
NOTE: there is significant similarities between $SMCE and Fontana (which INgrooves bought out) as it appears the same business model Fontana had is what SMC is doing, also former management from Fontana is now a part of SMCE, see below
First we have the connection from the filings in place alongside a material contract with INgrooves already in place
As the issuer moves into Quarter 2 of 2015 management plans to expand its operations into ownership and control of certain digital content distribution outlets for both music and film. Management believes that as the entertainment industry trends towards more and more on-line distribution of content, the real revenue growth is in ownership of on-line content distribution “pipes.” If the future of the entertainment industry is in streaming content, I want our company to direct those streams rather than have to negotiate with companies to stream our content. The Company is currently negotiating the acquisition of a music distribution company
Prior to working with SMC, Mr. Heidolph managed business analysis and reporting for Fontana Distribution, Universal Music Group Distribution’s independent label division, from 2008-2011. During this time he automated nearly every reporting process and increased the division’s financial efficiency by 100%-150%. Additionally, he created forecasting models that could accurately predict physical and digital sales which had not been possible before.

www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/retail/1098611/ingrooves-to-purchase-fontana
INgrooves, the digital aggregator launched in 2002, has purchased Fontana, the indie distribution company owned by Universal Music Group, the company announced today.
The deal gives the digital distributor a full array of services to offer to indie labels and at the same time provide capital to build up Fontana's capabilities in marketing music to brick-and-mortar merchants.
INgrooves itself already has a relationship with Universal Music Group, which bought 51% of the company in 2008, sources say. That stake was reduced to about 40% when Shamrock Capital, a unit of Shamrock Holdings, bought a majority interest in INgrooves in 2010. With the latest deal, Universal's stake in the company will be reduced to about 15%-20%.
In addition, sources say Shamrock is paying UMG about $5 million to $10 million for Fontana, which has annual sales of about $90 million and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of about $5 million to $7 million, Billboard.biz estimates.
INgrooves Makes Updates to Its Client Console
While Fontana's EBITDA would normally value that company at about $25 million -- based on the four-times multiple that distribution assets have traded for in the past -- total valuation for the deal is difficult to estimate because even though UMG's stake in INgrooves is being reduced, it now owns a portion of a larger company.
Billboard.biz estimates INgrooves' revenue at about $45 million, which means the company will now have revenues of about $135 million, making it the fourth-largest U.S. indie distributor behind RED, Alternative Distribution Alliance, and eOne Distribution.
Backbeat: Fontana Hosts Event for NYC Labels
Moreover, UMG benefits by being affiliated with an indie distributor that plans to grow with the backing of the deep-pocketed Shamrock Capital. A bigger, complementary INgrooves/Fontana operation with a revitalized game plan could benefit by the changing indie distribution landscape, with the Warner Music Group's ADA further integrated into WEA, and with the fate of Caroline/EMI Label Services Group up in the air due to its pending absorption into UMG.
While UMG is required to unload music assets in order to help finance its acquisition of EMI's recorded-music division, which is pending regulatory approval, sources say the deal for Fontana was in the works months before the major even came up for sale.
Universal Music Group Distribution provides some shared services with Fontana, and sources say some of those services will continue, while other backroom/office functions will be assumed by INgrooves. On the flip side, INgrooves plays a role in the digital pipeline for UMG, helping it to ready and deliver music to digital service providers.
"Through this acquisition, we are now able to offer the independent music community a fully integrated physical and digital distribution marketing solution in North America," INgrooves CEO and found Robb McDaniels said in a statement.
In the announcement, the company said the deal will allow for the expansion of the Label & Artist Services group. This unit, which currently provides product management, online marketing & PR coordination, sync licensing, brand partnership marketing, sponsorships and advertising for the respective companies, will be a core focus of expansion in the coming months. The company said the value-added services will be available to INgrooves Fontana clients on a per project basis.
McDaniels also said the deal will provide the company's "client base with a larger sales force, more marketing resources and a one-stop global retail network that maximizes opportunities in this dynamic, challenging environment."
As part of the deal, Fontana president Ron Spaulding, who plays a key A&R role in bringing labels to Fontana, will stay with the company as president and run it, sources say, while Dave Zierler, recently promoted to president of INgrooves, will run that side of the company, with both reporting to McDaniels.
Why would INgrooves want to buy SMCE? Well as you can see they bought Fontana and they are executing the same business model.
INgrooves Music Group is comprised of 3 service divisions: Distribution Services, Artist Services (“INresidence”), and Rights Services. All three divisions work in alignment to provide each of our partners with a solid customized solution that meets their business needs. Like our technology, we are always developing our comprehensive menu of music distribution, marketing and rights management services so that our label and artist partners will have the tools and resources they need to succeed today and tomorrow.
