SMC Entertainment Inc (SMCE)

[oldstocks]

The problem with the news release last year is that this year 2-21-2023 SMCE came out with a news release that SMC Entertainment does not own Genesis Financial.
Due to existing limitations and restrictions in the Australian financial services sector.
That same news release allows Genesis Financial to own 10% of SMC Entertainment.
But wait, what about existing limitations and restrictions in the Australian financial services sector.

SMCE not owning Genesis Financial may not be a bad thing.
Then SMC Entertainment would not have to worry about any of Genesis Financial's liens, defaults, payoffs, discharges of liens, releases of guarantees, and other disclosures.
It seems as the two companies are trying to figure out the best ways to work together.

The problem with that news release is that I own $FDCT stock, who was to buy Genesis Financial. FDCT put out a news release 8-27-2021 that Genesis could not comply with several non-exhaustive material provisions, covenants, or conditions. Among other items, it included releasing liens, defaults settlement, payoff letters, discharges of liens, releases of guarantees, and other disclosures required by the Agreement.
From my understandings it was Genesis Financial that could not get their financials in order.

Since then on 12/23/2021 FDCT released news that FDCTech Completed Pivotal Acquisition of AD Advisory Services Pty Ltd.
Ad Advisory Services – ACN 628 331 117/AFSL No. 237058, an independent specialist dealer group, provides licensing solutions for select education and compliance-focused financial advisors & accountants. ADS has a dedicated management team are qualified financial planners that service metro and regional practices around Australia.

So I started having concerns owning shares in two USA companies owning Australian companies in the financial sectors. So I did my own research to find out more.

FDCTech has no existing limitations and restrictions in the Australian financial services sector.
It is expected in the next FDCTech FORM 10-Q due out sometime this month of March 2023 that AD Advisory Services and FDCTech have been doing well together.

FDCTech would have liked to have bought Genesis Financial because it could have been run well together. Since then FDCTech $FDCT has been doing acquisitions.
Old News:
SMC Genesis Financial shareholder update on USA Expansion seeking to acquire Broker-Dealer and RIA business
Press Release | 02/07/2022
Charleston, SC, Feb. 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SMCE and its wholly owned subsidiary Genesis Financial are activity seeking acquisition opportunities within the USA. The Company recently engaged a banker to find accretive acquirable US based opportunities. SMCE has signed two term sheets and is currently conducting extensive due diligence on the potential acquisitions. It is expected that financial close of the initial transactions will occur within 60 days

As I stated since the 2-15-2023 news that SMCE would run back down to pre-news prices of .001 But that was with SMCE having the Genesis Financial revenue.
Now, I don't know where SMCE will go from here but I am willing to take the risk and buy some at .001 to hold if anyone wants to sell any.
As far as $FDCT it trades very little and takes off when least expected, it is not a stock to be flipped anytime soon. It is a buy and hold because the company is very busy growing.

Disclosure: I own both SMCE and FDCT stock.
