Highlights

Greater China Media and Entertainment Corp. ("GCME") was incorporated in the state of Nevada on December 15, 2004 under the name AGA Resources, Inc. From inception to July 2006, GCME was engaged in mineral exploration. In July 2006, the Company decided to terminate mineral exploration activities and to concentrate on media and entertainment activities in the People's Republic of China ("PRC"). On August 9, 2006, the Company changed its name to Greater China Media and Entertainment Corp.

In March 2007, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Beijing Hua Ding Century Media Investment Consultants Limited ("Hua Ding"), a limited liability company formed under the laws of the PRC. Hua Ding produces and distributes film and television.

In May 2007 (see note 6), GCME and a third party located in PRC formed a PRC joint venture Beijing Racemind Hua Ding International Marketing Consultants Limited ("Racemind Hua Ding"). Racemind Hua Ding, which is owned 60% by GCME, provides promotional and event services to customers in the PRC.

In March 2008, the Company acquired a 70% interest in Beijing HuaDing Century International Cultural Limited Corp. ("Beijing HuaDing"), a company incorporated under the laws of the PRC, which engages in the production and distribution of film and television properties. The Chairman of the Company, Mr. Jake Wei, holds the interest in Beijing HuaDing in trust for the benefit of the Company.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GCME, Hua Ding, Racemind Hua Ding and Beijing HuaDing (collectively, the "Company").

Background

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 15, 2004.  Initially, we had the right to conduct exploration activities on one property located in British Columbia, Canada.  The one property consisted of one mineral claim.  We had intended to explore for gold on the property.  During the second quarter of 2006, we hired a qualified geologist to take a mineral sample and have it tested by a lab. The result shows that there is no anomalous alteration or metallic mineralization in the samples examined. We also signed an agreement to purchase core drilling equipment to further test core samples from the claim, which did not yield favorable results. In July 2006, we decided to terminate mineral exploration activities and to concentrate on media and entertainment activities in the People's Republic of China (“PRC”).

On June 14, 2006, the Company signed an Agreement with Triumph Research Limited ("Triumph"), a B.V.I. company, and Beijing Tangde International Film and Culture Co., Ltd. ("Tangde"), a Chinese company. According to the Agreement, the Company will issue 3,209,000 shares of common stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Triumph, by which Triumph will became a wholly owned subsidiary. Triumph had signed a Joint Venture Agreement with Tangde pursuant to which Triumph will invest RMB 5.1Million ($644,859 translated at the September 30, 2006 exchange rate) into the Joint Venture and control 51% ownership of the JV. Triumph will also hold three seats out of five on the board of the JV, including Chairman of the Board of Directors. Tangde will invest RMB 4.9 Million into the Joint Venture and control 49% of the ownership. The Joint Venture intends to invest mainly in the media and entertainment industry in China. However, to date, the Joint Venture has not received the promised capital contribution of Triumph and Triumph is in default of its obligations under the Agreement.  As a result of Triumph’s default, the Joint Venture has not engaged in any business in China, and the Company’s ownership interest in Triumph, which is the 51% joint venture partner, has little or no value.

On August 9, 2006, the Company changed its name from AGA Resources, Inc. to Greater China Media and Entertainment Corp., which will be more consistent with its proposed business activities in the media and entertainment industries in China. In connection with the name change, NASDAQ awarded the Registrant with a new trading symbol of “GCME,” effective August 21, 2006.

Joint Ventures
 
In June 2006, the Company signed and closed an Acquisition Agreement with Triumph Research Limited, which is a B.V.I. company and party to a Joint Venture Agreement with Beijing Tangde International Film and Culture Co., Ltd. (“Tangde”), a Chinese company, as mentioned above.

On September 25, 2006, the Company and Beijing New-Element Co. Ltd., a company organized and existing under the laws of the People's Republic of China (“New-Element”), entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “Agreement”) for a term of twenty years to be organized in Beijing, China. The purpose of the Agreement is to jointly conduct a marketing and promotional business for prospective clients in the People's Republic of China.

On December 6, 2006, the Company executed a Joint Venture Agreement with Beijing Racemind Times Marketing Consultants Limited (“Racemind”), a company organized under the laws of the China. The agreement provides for the formation of a joint venture, Beijing Racemind Hua Ding International Marketing Consultants Limited (“Racemind Hua Ding”), to conduct marketing and promotion business in China. The Company is to contribute RMB300, 000 ($39,411) for a 60% interest in Racemind Hua Ding and Racemind is to contribute RMB200, 000 ($26,274) for a 40% interest in Racemind Hua Ding. The agreement also provides that the Company has agreed to issue 2,000,000 shares of its common stock to the shareholder of Racemind and Racemind is to transfer all its signed marketing and promotion commercial contracts to Racemind Hua Ding. The agreement, which has a term of 30 years, also provides that the Company is to provide the required working capital to Racemind Hua Ding and that Racemind is responsible for the joint venture’s daily operations.

This Joint Venture Agreement supersedes the earlier Joint Venture Agreement dated September 25, 2006 between the Company and Beijing New Element Co. Ltd. (“New Element”).  Accordingly, the Joint Venture Agreement with New Element was terminated without liability to either party.

On December 7, 2006, the Company and Beijing Star King Talent Agency Ltd. Co., a company organized and operating under the laws of the People's Republic of China (“Star Agency”), entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the” Agreement”) for a term of twenty years in Beijing, China. The purpose of the Agreement is to jointly conduct a talent agency business in the People's Republic of China.

In March 2007, the Company set up its wholly owned subsidiary in China: Beijing HuaDing Century Media Investment Consultants Ltd. (“HuaDing”). HuaDing was approved by the Beijing Administration for Industry in April, 2007.  HuaDing is the subsidiary through which the Company, among other things, engages in its film and television production activities in China, signing several agreements to produce movie and television series. This Joint Venture Agreement supersedes the earlier Joint Venture Agreement dated December 7, 2006 between the Company and Beijing Star King Talent Agency Ltd. Co. (Star King).  Accordingly, the Joint Venture Agreement with Star King was terminated without liability to either party.

Racemind HuaDing was approved by the Beijing Administration for Industry in May 2007. Registered capital contribution from both parties has been completed and Racemind HuaDing is in operation. Racemind has transferred all its existing contracts to Racemind HuaDing. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, HuaDing, owns 60% of Racemind HuaDing.

Racemind HuaDing has been appointed as an approved public relations vendor and organized numerous events for Microsoft China and Siemens in 2007.

Racemind HuaDing has also successfully conducted many marketing and promoting events and campaigns for its clients such as Simens, Canon, Johnson & Johnson, and Reuters and Cisco etc.

Products and Services

The Company focuses on the media and entertainment industry in China. They provide services related to talent agency, sales and advertising, film and television products, promotion, audio-visual distribution etc. The Company either develops these products and services by itself or partnered with other professional companies in a Joint Venture to carry on these services.

"Tough Guy" Theatrical Film

On June 25, 2007, GCME entered into a Cooperation Agreement with Mega Vision Productions Limited, a Hong Kong Corporation ("Mega"), with respect to the production and distribution of the movie "Tough Guy". The total investment for the movie was estimated at RMB7,500,000 ($1,095,375) and each party was to pay 50% of the total investment. The Company can distribute the movie in Mainland China, excluding Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau, and Mega can distribute the movie everywhere else.

On July 17, 2007, Hua Ding executed an agreement with Beijing Hua Yi Hao Ge ("Hao Ge") to sell the Mainland China television distribution rights of "Tough Guy" for RMB1,000,000 ($139,334). Under the agreement, Hua Ding was entitled to 30% of advertising revenue collected by Hao Ge from such television distribution. The film was completed and delivered to Hao Ge in December 2007 and the Company recognized the $139,334 collected from Hao Ge as revenues in the three months ended December 31, 2007.

On July 10, 2008, Hua Ding executed an agreement with Beijing CiWen Film and Productions Ltd. (“CiWen”) to transfer its remaining interest in “Tough Guy” to CiWen for RMB 1,850,000 ($270,193). The sale closed in December 2008.

“Rose Throne” Television Series

On March 20, 2008, the Company, through Beijing Hua Ding, entered into a production agreement with Beijing Jin Ying Cultural Media Company Limited ("Jin Ying") for the production of the TV series, "Rose Throne". The total production costs were estimated at RMB8,280,000 ($1,209,294) and will be borne by the Company. Any cash receipts from the sponsors will be distributed as follows: 80% to the introducing party and the remaining 20% to the other party. Production of the “Rose Throne” television series was substantially completed at September 30, 2008.

In July 2008, the Company entered into three broadcasting agreements with three local Chinese TV stations to broadcast the TV series in the Provinces of Guangxi, Inner Mongolia and Shandong, China for two years. The agreements provide for payments to the Company totaling RMB780,960 ($114,059). In November and December 2008, the Company collected RMB 590,400 ($86,228) from one of these TV stations.


“Cherry Love” Television Series

Competition

Most Americans see China as the manufacturing center of the world. But China has another sector that is one of the world's fastest-growing industries: entertainment. Since 2002, the Chinese film industry's total box office revenue has increased by 40% annually.

China is currently in a golden era for film and TV production as a result of improved quality, expanded investment, new technologies from abroad, some high-profile commercial successes, increased cooperation with international peers, and favorable economics.

According the company's management, currently, no one company active in the Chinese film market accounts for more than 10% of the annual production of China's film and TV industry. Annual investment by even the largest companies is typically between US$6 million and US$10 million per year. For this amount, companies such as Poly Huayi Film and TV Culture, Century Hero Film Investment, H. Brother Film and TV Investment, and Taihe Film and TV Investment might produce, at most:
 
2 or 3 films per year
100 to 200 episodes of TV series
10 digital films
 
We have identified three reasons why one powerful film and TV company has not yet emerged in China:
 
Limited capital
Undeveloped marketing efforts
Unsophisticated management techniques
 
With those three constraints, the companies that do participate in the Chinese market currently are generally weak and are at high risk due their inability to achieve economies of scale by producing a large, diversified portfolio of content.
 
The Company will try to overcome these weaknesses and make itself one of the most important players in this market.

Regulatory Matters

In China, the Company relies on the advice of Chinese legal counsel to maintain compliance with all laws, rules, regulations and government policies in China. The telecom industry is subject to extensive government regulation, which regulations have been changing rapidly, and there is no assurance that the Company will not be adversely impacted by such regulations in the future.
 
(a)     Local Regulations
The Company cannot determine to what extent its future operations and earnings may be affected by new legislation, new regulations or changes in existing regulations on a local level in China.
 
(b)     National Regulations

The Company cannot determine to what extent its future operations and earnings may be affected by new legislation, new regulations or changes in existing regulations on a national level in China.

(c) Other Factors

Since the operations of the Company are operated in the People's Republic of China ("PRC"), they are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with investments in equity securities of United States and Western European companies. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic and legal environments and foreign currency exchange. These are described further in the following:
 
6

 
Political Environment

The value of the Company's interest in its joint venture companies may be adversely affected by significant political, economic and social uncertainties in the PRC. A change in policies by the Chinese government could adversely affect the Company's interests in these companies by, among other factors: changes in laws, regulations or the interpretation thereof; confiscatory taxation; restrictions on foreign currency conversion, imports or sources of suppliers; or the expropriation or nationalization of private enterprises.

Economic Environment

The economy of the PRC differs significantly from the economies of the United States and Western Europe in such respects as structure, level of development, gross national product, growth rate, capital reinvestment, resource allocation, self-sufficiency, rate of inflation and balance of payments position, among others. Only recently has the Chinese government encouraged substantial private economic activities.

The Chinese economy has experienced significant growth in the past ten years, but such growth has been uneven among various sectors of the economy and geographic regions. Actions by the Chinese central government to control inflation have significantly restrained economic expansion recently. Similar actions by the central government of the PRC in the future could have a significant adverse effect on economic conditions in the PRC and the economic prospects for our Company.

Foreign Currency Exchange

The Chinese central government imposes control over its foreign currency reserves through control over imports and through direct regulation of the conversion of its national currency into foreign currencies. As a result, the Renminbi is not freely convertible into foreign currencies.

The joint venture companies conduct, or plan to conduct, substantially all of their business in the PRC, and their financial performance and condition is measured in terms of Renminbi. The revenues and profits of the joint venture companies are predominantly denominated in Renminbi, and will have to be converted to pay dividends to the Company in United States Dollars. Should the Renminbi devalue against these currencies, such devaluation would have a material adverse effect on the Company's profits and the foreign currency equivalent of such profits repatriated by the joint venture companies to the Company. The Company currently is not able to hedge its exchange rate exposure in the PRC because neither the banks in the PRC nor any other financial institution authorized to engage in foreign exchange transactions offer forward exchange contracts.

Legal Environment

Since 1979, many laws and regulations dealing with economic matters in general and foreign investment in particular have been enacted in the PRC. However, the PRC still does not have a comprehensive system of laws and enforcement of existing laws may be uncertain and sporadic

Mr. Wei has 15 years of management experience in China and has been CEO of a U.S. public company since 1997. He founded one of the first Internet Service Providers in China and built the company up to become one of the strongest players in the ISP industry and the top brand name in the Domain Registration industry in China, before negotiating its sale to a Hong Kong-based public company. He has strong ties within a wide variety of industries in China and has negotiated many merger and acquisition transactions for public companies with some of the largest players in China.

Mr. Liu has over 12 years of on hand business experience in the film industry in the People's Republic of China (PRC). He graduated from ZhongHua Shehui University, majoring in cinematic. He served as co-director, vice director, general planner, distributor for films, commercial shows and TV serials. He was general manager for China HaiNan Asian Vision International Advertisement Company in 1989. He was the producer for HuaYi Brother TaiHe Film Investment Corp., one of the largest private film companies in China since 1998. He served as a director and CEO for several film entertainments investment companies. He has been the Vice President for China Baoli HuaYi Media and Entertainment Corp., and the executive director for HuaYi Alliance Media Investment Company since 2004.

Mr. Yi Wang received a bachelor's degree from University of NanKai, majoring in Law in 1983, a Masters degree from University of NIC, Sweden, majoring in law in 1989 and a Doctorate degree from Goteborg University, majoring in International Finance in 1994.

He also assisted in several re-organizations such as: HuaYi Brother Taihe Film Company, HuaYi XiYing Film Distribution Company and Baoli Huayi Media Company, and helped Baoli Huayi Media Company become listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange. Mr. Wang was also involved in the production of 12 movies and 29 TV series as General Producer, General Planner and General Supervisor.

Employees

At present, we have no employees, other than our officers. The employee staffs of our joint venture companies equals approximately 35, although they are not on our payroll and their compensation is paid by the Joint Venture Companies. Our officers are part-time employees. Accordingly we have two total employees, no full-time employees and two part-time employees. Our officers have signed employment agreements with us. We presently do not have pension, health, annuity, insurance or profit sharing plans; however, we may adopt such plans in the future. There are presently no personal benefits available to our officers and directors. Mr. Liu and Wei will handle our administrative duties.

An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. The following are among some of the risks.
 
 
Risks Related to Our Business Plan
 
We have lack of funding to finance all our projected projects and joint ventures in China. In the event that we are unable to raise the necessary debt or equity financing, we may be forced to cease operations. 

We have approximately $36,267 of cash on our balance sheet as of September 30, 2008. Our lack of funding, whether through debt or equity capital, makes it unlikely that we will be able to meet our commitments or continue in business.


The film making industry requires significant up-front capital expenditures for script writers, actors, other talent, production staff and capital equipment before a negative is ever made and a movie shown to the public. We may not have the financial resources to be successful in this industry given these underlying economics.

We face intense competition from other media and entertainment companies in China, many of whom have significantly greater resources than do we.

Several of these existing competitors have greater financial, personnel, artistic and capacity resources than we do and, as a result, these competitors may be in a stronger position to respond quickly to market opportunities, new or emerging trends and changes in client requirements.

Governmental regulation of the content of television programs and films limits our business and makes it hard to predict whether a television or film venture will be censured or will ever be a commercial success.

Governmental regulation of content of media ventures limits our business, unlike in the United States and elsewhere, and makes it difficult to predict whether a television or film venture will be censured or will ever become a commercial success.

Box revenue and other types of revenue from films and TV series may be difficult to predict and have a long payment cycle; traditional business planning models and capital budgeting techniques are difficult to apply.

Our future business will be subject to the whim of the box office, with revenues that are difficult to predict, which makes traditional business planning techniques and capital budgeting decisions very risky.

Talent driven businesses are risky when revenue depends on the performance of an actor or actress.

Our future business will be subject to the changes and vicissitudes of our primary resources, which are our talented actors and actresses. This is a risky fact of life.

Our operations depend highly on Mr. Jake Wei and Mr. Liu, XiaoLin, our Chairman and Vice Chairman.
 
The success of operations depends greatly on two key executives, Mr. Jake Wei and Mr. Liu, XiaoLin. The loss of the services of Mr. Wei or Mr. Liu could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business. They currently have employment agreements with the Company for a term of two years that are terminable by either the Company or the employee upon three months prior written notice.

Our operations will depend on our ability to attract and retain a highly talented group of artists and production personnel at our three joint venture companies.
 
Because of the highly specialized, technical and artistic nature of the business of our joint venture companies, we must attract and retain a highly skilled group of employees and a sizeable workforce of competent skilled employees. Although we do not anticipate unacceptable attrition among the staff at our joint venture companies, if our joint venture companies were to lose a substantial portion of such persons in the future, our ability to effectively pursue our business strategy could be materially and negatively affected.
 
 9

 
We may not be able to effectively respond to rapid growth in demand for our television shows and films.
 
If we are successful in obtaining rapid market growth of our media and entertainment businesses in China, we will be required to deliver large volumes of quality television programs and films to clients on a timely basis at a reasonable cost to those customers. Meeting such increased demands will require us to expand our facilities, to increase our ability to purchase talent, to increase the size of our work force, to expand our quality control capabilities and to increase the scale upon which we produce products. Such demands would require more capital and working capital than we currently have available.
 
We may not be able to finance the development of our business.
 
Our future operating results will depend to a significant extent on our ability to continue to provide new media and entertainment products that compare favorably on the basis of cost with the products of our competitors, many of whom have production capabilities and technologies that compete well with our products. This will require a substantial outlay of capital. To remain competitive, we must continue to incur significant costs in talent, equipment and facilities. These costs may increase, resulting in greater fixed costs and operating expenses. All of these factors create pressures on our working capital and ability to fund our current and future production activities and the expansion of our business.
 
Our business depends on our ability to protect our intellectual property effectively.
 
The success of our business depends in substantial measure on the legal protection of the copyrights and trademarks and other proprietary rights in media and entertainment products that we will hold. While we may be able to obtain limited protection in China under existing laws, we may not be able to obtain worldwide protection for our activities. 

Monitoring infringement of intellectual property rights is difficult, and we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent unauthorized use of our intellectual property and know-how, particularly in the PRC and other countries in which the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as the laws of the United States. Accordingly, other parties, including competitors, may duplicate our products using our proprietary technologies. Pursuing legal remedies against persons infringing our copyrights and trademarks or otherwise improperly using our proprietary information is a costly and time consuming process that would divert management's attention and other resources from the conduct of our other business.

Risks Related to our Common Stock

The Company's stock is thinly traded, so you may be unable to sell your shares at or near the quoted bid prices if you need to sell a significant number of your shares.
 
The shares of the Company's common stock are thinly-traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing its common shares at or near bid prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that the Company is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if it came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and may be reluctant to follow the Company. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in the shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. The Company cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for its common shares will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained. Due to these conditions, the Company can give you no assurance that you will be able to sell your shares at or near bid prices or at all if you need money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.
 
10

 
You may have difficulty selling the Company's shares because they are deemed “penny stocks”.
 
Since the Company's common stock is not listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market, if the trading price of its common stock remains below $5.00 per share, trading in its common stock will be subject to the requirements of certain rules promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which require additional disclosure by broker-dealers in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a penny stock (generally, any non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions). Such rules require the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith and impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally defined as an investor with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 individually or $300,000 together with a spouse). For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to the broker-dealer, current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market. Such information must be provided to the customer orally or in writing before or with the written confirmation of trade sent to the customer. Monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements could discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in the Company's common stock, which could severely limit the market liquidity of the common stock and the ability of holders of the common stock to sell their shares.

Stockholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (iii) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses.

Potential issuance of additional common and preferred stock could dilute existing stockholders.
 
The Company is authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock. To the extent of such authorization, the Company's Board of Directors has the ability, without seeking stockholder approval, to issue additional shares of common stock in the future for such consideration as the Board of Directors may consider sufficient. The issuance of additional common stock in the future will reduce the proportionate ownership and voting power of the common stock offered hereby. The Company is also authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock. In addition the Board of Directors could designate additional classes and series of preferred stock without stockholder approval, and could create additional securities which would have dividend and liquidation preferences over the common stock offered hereby. Preferred stockholders could adversely affect the rights of holders of common stock by:
 
 
-
exercising voting, redemption and conversion rights to the detriment of the holders of common stock;
 
-
receiving preferences over the holders of common stock regarding or surplus funds in the event of its dissolution or liquidation;

 
-
delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company; and
 
-
discouraging bids for its common stock.
 
The market price of the Company's stock may be adversely affected by market volatility.
 
The market price of the Company's common stock is likely to be volatile and could fluctuate widely in response to many factors, including:

 
-
announcements of contracts or innovations by the Company or its competitors;
 
-
announcements of new entertainment products or new contracts by the Company or its competitors;

 
-
actual or anticipated variations in its operating results due to the level of expenses and other factors;
 
-
changes in financial estimates by securities analysts and whether its earnings meet or exceed such estimates;

 
-
new accounting standards;
 
-
general economic, political and market conditions and other factors; and

 
-
The lack of depth and liquidity of the market for our common stock; and

In addition, the stock market in general, and the over-the-counter market in particular, has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the performance of listed companies. These broad market and industry factors may seriously harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance.

Historically, we have had limited trading in our common stock, in part, as a result of the limited public float in our stock and as a result of our operating history. Unless a substantial number of shares are sold by the selling shareholders and other GCME shareholders into the open market, an active trading market for shares of our common stock may never develop. Without an active market in our shares, the liquidity of the stock could be limited and prices for the common stock would be depressed.
Our common stock is traded in the over-the-counter market through the Over-the-Counter Electronic Bulletin Board. Our common stock may never be included for trading on any stock exchange or through any other quotation system (including, without limitation, the NASDAQ Stock Market).
  
We are obligated to indemnify our officers and directors for certain losses they suffer.
 
Article X of our By-Laws provides that the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Director, Trustee, Officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, Trustee, Officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgment, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and with respect to any criminal action proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person's conduct was unlawful.
.
Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Nevada law, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Securities Act, and, is, therefore, unenforceable.

 
We have not received any comments from the staff of the SEC regarding our periodic or current reports that remain unresolved.

PART II

 
(a) The Company's common stock is traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board maintained by the NASD under the trading symbol “GCME.OB”. The following table sets forth high and low bid prices of the common stock for year ended September 30, 2008 as follows:
 

 
Bid (U.S.$)

Fourth Quarter

Quotations, if made, represent only prices between dealers and do not include retail markups, markdowns or commissions and accordingly, may not represent actual transactions.

Because of the rules and regulations governing the trading of small issuers' securities, the Company's securities are presently classified as "Penny Stock", a classification which places significant restrictions upon broker-dealers desiring to make a market in these securities. It has been difficult for management to interest broker-dealers in our securities and it is anticipated that these difficulties will continue until the Company is able to obtain a listing on NASDAQ, at which time market makers may be able to trade its securities without complying with the stringent requirements. The existence of market quotations should not be considered evidence of an "established public trading market". The public trading market is presently limited as to the number of market markers in the Company stock and the number of states within which its stock is permitted to be traded.

As of September 30, 2008, the Company had approximately 20 shareholders of record of the common stock. Over 1,000 shareholders held stock in street name.

Dividends
No dividends on outstanding common stock have ever been paid. The Company presently has no plans regarding payment of dividends in the foreseeable future.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair-value measurements required under other accounting pronouncements. It does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-1 (FSP FAS 157-1), which excludes SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases” and certain other accounting pronouncements that address fair value measurements under SFAS 13, from the scope of SFAS 157. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-2 (FSP 157-2), which provides a one-year delayed application of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The Company is required to adopt SFAS 157 as amended by FSP FAS 157-1 and FSP FAS 157-2 on October 1, 2009, the beginning of its fiscal year 2009/10.  The Company does not expect the application of SFAS No. 157 to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset in a Market That Is Not Active” (FSP 157-3), which clarifies the application of SFAS 157 when the market for a financial asset is inactive. Specifically, FSP 157-3 clarifies how (1) management’s internal assumptions should be considered in measuring fair value when observable data are not present, (2) observable market information from an inactive market should be taken into account, and (3) the use of broker quotes or pricing services should be considered in assessing the relevance of observable and unobservable data to measure fair value. The guidance in FSP 157-3 is effective immediately and will apply to the Company upon adoption of SFAS 157.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, Including an Amendment to FASB No. 115” (SFAS 159). Under SFAS 159, entities may elect to measure specified financial instruments and warranty and insurance contracts at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period. The election, called the fair value option, will enable entities to achieve an offset accounting effect for changes in fair value of certain related assets and liabilities without having to apply more complex hedge accounting provisions.  SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect to elect the fair value option for any of its financial assets or financial liabilities; therefore, this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position EITF 03-06-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (FSP EITF 03-06-1). FSP EITF 03-06-1 provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method in SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”.   EITF 03-06-1 is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No 51” (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, changes in a parent’s ownership of a noncontrolling interest, calculation and disclosure of the consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest and fair value measurement of any retained noncontrolling equity investment. SFAS 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company must adopt SFAS 160 on October 1, 2009, the beginning of its fiscal year 2009/10.  The Company does not expect the application of SFAS No. 160 to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141R), which establishes principles and requirements for the reporting entity in a business combination, including recognition and measurement in the financial statements of the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company must adopt SFAS 141R on October 1, 2009, the beginning of its fiscal year 2009/10.  The Company does not expect the application of SFAS 141R to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., or GAAP, requires the Company 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In recording transactions and balances resulting from business operations, the Company uses estimates based on the best information available for such items as depreciable lives. The Company revises the recorded estimates when better information is available, facts change or actual amounts can be determined. These revisions can affect operating results.

EPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Greater China Media and Entertainment Corp.

I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Greater China Media and Entertainment Corp. and subsidiaries (the “Company”), as of September 30, 2008 and 2007 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  My responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on my audits.

I conducted my audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audits 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.  I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.

In my opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Greater China Media and Entertainment Corp. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2008 and 2007 and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s present financial situation raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note 2.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

GREATER CHINA MEDIA AND ENTERTAINMENT CORP.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
September 30, 2008

Note 1 - Organization and Nature of Operations

Greater China Media and Entertainment Corp. ("GCME") was incorporated in the state of Nevada on December 15, 2004 under the name AGA Resources, Inc. From inception to July 2006, GCME was engaged in mineral exploration. In July 2006, the Company decided to terminate mineral exploration activities and to concentrate on media and entertainment activities in the People's Republic of China ("PRC"). On August 9, 2006, the Company changed its name to Greater China Media and Entertainment Corp.

In March 2007, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Beijing Hua Ding Century Media Investment Consultants Limited ("Hua Ding"), a limited liability company formed under the laws of the PRC. Hua Ding produces and distributes film and television properties.

In May 2007 (see note 6), GCME and a third party located in PRC formed a PRC joint venture Beijing Racemind Hua Ding International Marketing Consultants Limited ("Racemind Hua Ding"). Racemind Hua Ding, which is owned 60% by GCME, provides promotional and event services to customers in the PRC.

In March 2008, the Company acquired a 70% interest in Beijing HuaDing Century International Cultural Limited Corp. ("Beijing HuaDing"), a company incorporated under the laws of the PRC, which engages in the production and distribution of film and television properties. The Chairman of the Company, Mr. Jake Wei, holds the interest in Beijing HuaDing in trust for the benefit of the Company.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(i) Principles of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GCME, Hua Ding, Racemind Hua Ding and Beijing Hua Ding (collectively, the “Company”). All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

(ii) Basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are expressed in U.S. dollars.

The financial statements have been prepared on a “going concern” basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, at September 30, 2008, the Company had negative working capital of $1,274,708. For the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company incurred net losses of $1,008,243 and $943,356, respectively. These factors create substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company plans to raise additional capital and to establish profitable business operations. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing these objectives. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

(iii) 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
23


(iv) Concentration of credit risk

The Company maintains Renminbi cash balances in banks in China and U.S. Dollar and Canadian Dollar cash balances in a Canadian bank, that are not insured. Revenues were derived in geographic locations outside the United States.

(v) Fair value of financial instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accrued consulting fees payable to related parties, and loans payable to related parties. The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

(vi) Foreign currency translation

The functional currency of GCME is the United States dollar. The functional currency of Hua Ding, Racemind Hua Ding and Beijing Hua Ding is the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). The reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar.

Hua Ding, Racemind Hua Ding and Beijing Hua Ding's assets and liabilities are translated into United States dollars at period – end exchange rates $0.14605 and $0.13338 at September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Hua Ding, Racemind Hua Ding and Beijing Hua Ding revenues and expenses are translated into United States dollars at weighted average exchange rates for the periods $0.14104 and $0.12980 for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income within stockholders’ equity.

(vii) Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with activities of three months or less at the time issuance to be cash equivalents.

(viii) Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts

Accounts receivable are recorded net of allowances for doubtful accounts and reserves for returns. In the normal course of business, the Company extends credit to customers that satisfy predefined credit criteria. The Company is required to estimate the collectibility of its receivables. Reserves for returns are based on historical return rates and sales patterns. Allowances for doubtful accounts are established through the evaluation of accounts receivable agings and prior collection experience to estimate the ultimate realization of these receivables.

(viii) Fixed assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.

(ix) Film and Television Costs

Film and television costs include capitalizable direct negative costs, production overhead, interest, development costs, and acquired production costs and are stated at the lower of cost, less accumulated amortization, or fair value.

Film and television production and participation costs are expensed based on the ratio of the current period’s gross revenues to estimated remaining total gross revenues (Projected Revenue Method) from all sources on an individual production basis. Estimated remaining gross revenue for film productions includes revenue that will be earned within ten years of the date of the initial theatrical release. Development costs for projects that have been abandoned or have not been set for production within three years are generally written off.

Television network series costs are amortized under the Projected Revenue Method based on revenues from such programs or on a straight-line basis, as appropriate. For television network series, the Company includes revenues that will be earned within ten years of the delivery of the first episode, or if still in production, five years from the date of delivery of the most recent episode, if later.

Estimates of total gross revenues can change significantly due to a variety of factors, including advertising rates and the level of market acceptance of the production. Accordingly, revenue estimates are reviewed periodically and amortization is adjusted, if necessary. Such adjustments could have a material effect on results of operations in future periods.
 
24


(x) Long-lived assets

The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount.

(xi) Revenue Recognition

The following are the conditions that must be met in order to recognize revenue: (a) persuasive evidence of a sale or licensing arrangement with a customer exists; (b) the film is complete and has been delivered or is available for immediate and unconditional delivery; (c) the license period of the arrangement has begun and the customer can begin its exploitation, exhibition or sale; (d) the arrangement fee is fixed or determinable and (e) collection of the arrangement fee is reasonably assured. Amounts received from customers prior to the availability date of the product are included in deferred revenues. Revenue from the theatrical distribution of films is recognized at the later of (a) when films are exhibited in theatres or (b) when theatrical revenues are reported to us by third parties, such as third party distributors.

The Company recognizes revenue of promotion and event services when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; the price to the customer is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured. If all of the above criteria have been met, revenues are principally recognized when services have been rendered. Amounts received from customers in advance of the period in which service is rendered are deferred and recorded on the balance sheet as a liability under "deferred revenues."

(xii) Stock-based compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No.123 and SFAS No.123 (R) under the fair value based method that measures compensation cost at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period.

(xiii) Advertising costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The Company did not incur any advertising costs for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.

(xiv) Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under SFAS No. 109, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

(xv) Earnings per share

Basic earnings or loss per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings or loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents. Basic earnings/loss per share is computed by dividing net income/loss (numerator) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) for the period. All earnings or loss per share amounts in the financial statements are basic earnings or loss per share, as defined by SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”. Diluted earnings or loss per share does not differ materially from basic earnings or loss per share for all periods presented. Convertible securities that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future such as options and warrants are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would be antidilutive.
 
25


(xvi) Comprehensive income

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”, which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. The Company includes items of other comprehensive income by their nature, such as foreign currency translation adjustments, in a financial statement and displays the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from accumulated deficit in the equity section of the balance sheet. The Company discloses total comprehensive loss, its components and accumulated balances on its consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity.

(xvii) Related party transactions

A related party is generally defined as (a) any person that holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities and their immediate families, (b) the Company’s management, (c) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company, or (d) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

(xviii) Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in order to conform to the current year presentation. These changes had no effect on previously reported results of operations or total stockholders’ equity.

(xix) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair-value measurements required under other accounting pronouncements. It does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-1 (FSP FAS 157-1), which excludes SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases” and certain other accounting pronouncements that address fair value measurements under SFAS 13, from the scope of SFAS 157. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-2 (FSP 157-2), which provides a one-year delayed application of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The Company is required to adopt SFAS 157 as amended by FSP FAS 157-1 and FSP FAS 157-2 on October 1, 2009, the beginning of its fiscal year 2009/10.  The Company does not expect the application of SFAS No. 157 to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset in a Market That Is Not Active” (FSP 157-3), which clarifies the application of SFAS 157 when the market for a financial asset is inactive. Specifically, FSP 157-3 clarifies how (1) management’s internal assumptions should be considered in measuring fair value when observable data are not present, (2) observable market information from an inactive market should be taken into account, and (3) the use of broker quotes or pricing services should be considered in assessing the relevance of observable and unobservable data to measure fair value. The guidance in FSP 157-3 is effective immediately and will apply to the Company upon adoption of SFAS 157.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, Including an Amendment to FASB No. 115” (SFAS 159). Under SFAS 159, entities may elect to measure specified financial instruments and warranty and insurance contracts at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period. The election, called the fair value option, will enable entities to achieve an offset accounting effect for changes in fair value of certain related assets and liabilities without having to apply more complex hedge accounting provisions.  SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  The Company does not expect to elect the fair value option for any of its financial assets or financial liabilities; therefore, this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position EITF 03-06-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (FSP EITF 03-06-1). FSP EITF 03-06-1 provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method in SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”.   EITF 03-06-1 is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
26


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No 51” (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, changes in a parent’s ownership of a noncontrolling interest, calculation and disclosure of the consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest and fair value measurement of any retained noncontrolling equity investment. SFAS 160 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company must adopt SFAS 160 on October 1, 2009, the beginning of its fiscal year 2009/10.  The Company does not expect the application of SFAS No. 160 to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations” (SFAS 141R), which establishes principles and requirements for the reporting entity in a business combination, including recognition and measurement in the financial statements of the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company must adopt SFAS 141R on October 1, 2009, the beginning of its fiscal year 2009/10.  The Company does not expect the application of SFAS 141R to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements

On December 6, 2006, GCME executed a Joint Venture Agreement with Beijing Racemind Times Marketing Consultants Limited ("Racemind"), a company organized under the laws of the PRC. The agreement provided for the formation of a joint venture, Beijing Racemind Hua Ding International Marketing Consultants Limited ("Racemind Hua Ding"), to conduct a marketing and promotion business in China. The Company contributed RMB300,000 ($41,000) for a 60% interest in Racemind Hua Ding and Racemind contributed RMB200,000 ($26,616) for a 40% interest in Racemind Hua Ding. The Company also issued 2,000,000 shares of its common stock to the shareholder of Racemind (the $121,000 estimated fair value of these shares at the date of issuance was included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2007) and Racemind transferred all its signed marketing and promotion commercial contracts to Racemind Hua Ding. The agreement, which has a term of 30 years, also provides that the Company is to provide the required working capital to Racemind Hua Ding and that Racemind is responsible for the joint venture's daily operations. If Racemind Hua Ding meets the profit projection in 3 years, the Company has an option to acquire Racemind's 40% interest at a price equal to 6 times the average annual profit for the 3 years and Racemind has an option to sell its 40% interest to the Company at a price also equal to 6 times the average annual profit for the 3 years. If Racemind Hua Ding meets the profit projection in 3 years and Racemind decides to terminate the agreement, the Company may require Racemind to return all of the Company’s investment in Racemind Hua Ding.

The Joint Venture Agreement supersedes an earlier Joint Venture Agreement dated September 25, 2006 between the Company and Beijing New Element Co. Ltd. ("New Element").

At September 30, 2007 and 2008, the Company has consolidated the financial statements of Racemind Hua Ding as a 60% owned subsidiary.

Tangde Joint Venture

On June 14, 2006, the Company executed an agreement with Triumph Research Limited, a corporation organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands ("Triumph"), Beijing Tangde International Film and Culture Co., Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the PRC ("Tangde"), and the Triumph stockholders. The agreement provided that the Company would issue 3,209,000 shares of its common stock to the Triumph stockholders in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Triumph. The agreement also provided that, prior to closing, Triumph would make a RMB5,100,000 ($744,855) capital contribution to a joint venture with Tangde (the "Tangde Joint Venture") for a 51% interest in the Tangde Joint Venture. Under an agreement between Triumph and Tangde dated April 18, 2006, the Tangde Joint Venture is to invest in film and television products, equipment leasing, agency activities, advertising and other related businesses in the media and entertainment industries.

The closing occurred on June 27, 2006 and the Triumph stockholders delivered Stock Powers conveying their equity interests in Triumph to the Company. However, since Triumph had failed to make the RMB5,100,000 ($744,855) capital contribution to the Tangde Joint Venture prior to closing, the Company exercised its option to withhold delivery of the 3,209,000 shares of common stock to the Triumph stockholders. Pursuant to a closing agreement, the Triumph stockholders agreed to pay the RMB5,100,000 ($744,855) capital contribution by September 27, 2006. In the event of a continuing default, the Company has several remedies, including legal action to enforce the payment obligation created by the closing agreement, as well as an action to rescind the agreement. At September 30, 2008, Triumph has no assets other than its rights under the Tangde Joint Venture agreement.

Star King Joint Venture

On December 7, 2006, the Company executed a Joint Venture Agreement with Star King, a company organized under the laws of the PRC. The agreement provides for the formation of a joint venture (the "Star King Joint Venture") to conduct a talent agency business in the PRC. The Company is to contribute RMB600,000 ($87,630) for a 60% interest in the Star King Joint Venture, and Star King is to contribute RMB400,000 ($58,420) for a 40% interest in the Star King Joint Venture. The Company is to deliver 2,000,000 shares of its common stock to Star King or its designee(s) and Star King is to transfer all its signed agency contracts to the Star King Joint Venture. The agreement, which has a term of 20 years, also provides that the Company is to provide RMB940,000 ($137,287) initial working capital to the Star King Joint Venture and that Star King is responsible for the joint venture's daily operations. If the Star King Joint Venture generates a pretax profit of RMB8,000,000 ($1,168,400) in the first 2 years, the Company has an option to acquire Star King's 40% interest at a price equal to 6 times the average annual net profit using a combination of cash and common stock. If the joint venture generates a pretax profit of RMB8,000,000 ($1,168,400) in the first 2 years and Star King decides to terminate the cooperation, the Company is entitled to entire ownership of the Star King Joint Venture, including the Company's investment in and loans to the joint venture and all profit generated from the joint venture.

PRC regulatory approval of the joint venture has not been received. Accordingly, funding and operations never commenced. The Company and Star King are considering the termination of the joint venture agreement.

Note 7 - Stockholders' Equity

(a) Common Stock

On November 1, 2007, GCME executed a Consultancy Services Agreement with three consultants. The agreement, which term is 18 months from November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2009, provides that the consultants will perform consulting services to the Company relating to the marketing and development of its promotion and event services and film and television production and distribution businesses. As consideration for their services, GCME issued a total of 3,900,000 freely tradeable (pursuant to the 2007 Non-Qualified Stock Compensation Plan) shares of its common stock to the three consultants. The $ 702,000 fair value of the 3,900,000 shares at November 1, 2007 is being expensed ratably over the 18 month term of the agreement.

(b) Stock Purchase Warrants

At September 30, 2008, there are 3,200,000 Series A Warrants and 3,200,000 Series B Warrants outstanding. Each Series A Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock of the Company at $0.50 per share and expires on December 1, 2008. Each Series B Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock of the Company at $0.60 per share and expires on June 1, 2009.

(c) Stock Options

On July 5, 2007, the Board of Directors approved the 2007 Non-Qualified Stock Compensation Plan authorizing the Company to issue shares of common stock or grant stock options for the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company.

At September 30, 2008, there was no outstanding stock options. No options were granted, exercised or cancelled during the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.

Note 8 – Income Taxes

The Company is subject to current income taxes on an entity basis on taxable income arising in or derived from the tax jurisdiction in which each entity is domiciled.

GCME was incorporated in the United States and is subject to United States income tax. No United States income taxes were provided in 2008 and 2007 since GCME had taxable losses in those periods. At September 30, 2008, the Company has not yet determined it to be more likely than not that a deferred tax asset attributable to the future utilization of GCME net operating loss carryforwards as of September 30, 2008 will be realized. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% allowance against the deferred tax asset in the consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2008. The Company will continue to review this valuation allowance and make adjustments as appropriate. Current United States tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited.

Hua Ding, Racemind Hua Ding, and Beijing Hua Ding were formed in the PRC and are subject to PRC income tax. No PRC income tax was provided in 2008 since these entities do not expect to owe any significant PRC income tax for 2008.
 
Note 9 - Commitments and Contingencies 

Production Agreements and Joint Venture Agreements

As more fully described in Notes 3 and 4, the Company has substantial commitments under Production Agreements and Joint Venture Agreements. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient capital to meet all its commitments under these agreements.

Consulting Agreements

On August 1, 2006, the Company entered into consulting agreements with its then Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at monthly consulting fees of $20,834 each. The term of these agreements was two years. Under both agreements, either the Company or the employee could terminate the agreement, with or without cause, by providing the other party with three months prior written notice.

On April 11, 2007, the former Chief Executive Officer resigned and his consulting agreement was terminated effective March 31, 2007.

On August 1, 2008, the Company extended the consulting agreement with its Chairman for an additional  two years at a monthly consulting fee of $20,834.

Rental Agreements

Hua Ding and Racemind Hua Ding rent space in Beijing, PRC under an agreement providing for them to pay total monthly rent and services of approximately RMB 100,000 ($14,605). Rent expense for the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $123,407 and $42,447, respectively

Concentrations and risks

During the years ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, 100% of the Company's revenues were derived from companies located in the PRC.

Substantially all of the Company's business operations are conducted in the PRC and governed by PRC laws and regulations. Because these laws and regulations are relatively new, the interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve uncertainties.

The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of the PRC. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payment of current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from the transaction, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from appropriate governmental authorities is required where RMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of the PRC to pay capital expenses, such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in foreign currencies. The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions.
