This new application launch into the Chinese market will allow for GMEC and their magazine to gain unprecedented distribution in multiple media formats. Apple’s iPad controlled 70% of the Chinese Tablet Market in 2011.
According to OTCMarkets, GMEC has a Market Capitalization of $19,509,280 with 69,676,000 Shares Outstanding. The Float for GMEC is an amazingly low 1.10 Million according to Capital IQ.
GMEC is no “start-up with a good idea” looking for funding. According to their Ammended 10Q filed with the SEC, GEMC reported $244,274 cash and cash equivalents for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. GMEC reported revenues of $1,352,378 and $3,513,127 respectively for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Considering Apple CEO Tim Cook’s comments on the launch of the iPhone 4S in China during Apple’s first-quarter earnings call, demand is “staggering” and “off the charts,” GEMC should see growth similar to that of Beijing Information Technology Co., Ltd. (VIVA); the largest digital mobile magazine distribution platform in China.
While VIVA focuses on mobile phone users, VIVA provides GMEC with digital media distribution channels which allows for a greater market opportunity for GMEC. Compared to the same industry, the number of users in the product line has been rising: there are currently 42 million users and monthly users view magazine pages 280,000,000 times. The magazine, “Young Heat”, has 8 million monthly users while each user on average views the content for 13.5 minutes.

Bottom Line: With the exponential growth in China and the love the Chinese have for their gadgets, especially Apple products, GMEC is undoubtedly a penny stock to watch. You have the three factors all in-line with GMEC; Consumer Demand, Hype, and Revenues.
