Product
and Services
With
its licensing agreement with Casa Zeta-Jones Brand, Madison is currently developing a new luxury shaving regiment exclusively
designed and branded for women. The core objective of the brand is to focus on the daily shaving experience and a regiment of
luxury products selected by Catherine Zeta-Jones. The product will be an online subscription as a club model format. For an
estimate $34.99 monthly reoccurring fee customers will receive a 30 day supply including the following:
-
A
weekly exfoliating wash
-
A
daily moisturizing pre-shave leg wash
-
A
daily super moisturizing luxury shave cream
-
4
– 5 blade self lubricating razor cartridge
-
A
luxury razor handle included in the first shipment
Markets
Madison’s
sale strategy is to create a sophisticated social media marketing operation that employs online marketing strategies
developed by Facebook, Instagram and YouTube to track the behavior of potential customers that are most likely to buy
specific products based of their previous and recent purchases.
The
operation will also utilize retargeting techniques that place promotional video marketing ads on the news feed of potential customers
in real time that have done searches for particular products that align with the ones we are selling.
The
creative/marketing team will maintain ongoing market analysis with a key focus on market differentiation. From the onset, they
will create a “Casa Zeta-Jones Marketing Roadmap” including everything from software and branding, ecommerce website,
loyalty program and email automation to marketing tactics execution and marketing-as-a-service.
Madison
will also engage brand influencers and top social media personas in an aggressive strategy to use the power of their social networks
to help build and maintain the shave club membership base.
Distribution
Methods
Madison
distribution method is to deliver the products worldwide via an online sign up process through an e-commerce website. The website
will use a subscription based revenue model, and will offer a tier system for subscriptions. Customers will be a able to select
from luxury products selected exclusively by Catherne Zeta-Jones.
Once
an order is received Madison will outsource the packaging and delivery to fulfillment providers services including but not limited
to The Jay Group, ModusLink and Echodata. By implementing these companies’ services Madison will be able to establish a
reliable supply chain that will receive delivery of the Licensed Products, warehouse the Luxurie Legs Products, package the Luxurie
Legs Products as per each customer order, and ship the Licensed Products to the customer efficiently and cost effectively.
Madison Technologies Inc. Form 10-K - 2020 Page 5
Management
expects to expand Madison’s sales distribution strategy beginning in May 2021 and to be operational by November 2021, this
includes the following components:
1.
Initial inventory with an estimated cost of $600,000
2.
Social media and online advertising of $50,000
Status
of Licensed Products
The
Luxerie Legs Products razor handle will be supplied by Shick Edgewell, and the creams will be formulated by a independent formulation
laboratory . Madison is currently working with several laboratories to perfect the cream products. Madison anticipates establishing
a supply chain that is able to supply up to 200,000 units on an initial order. Management believes this initial order of Luxurie
Legs Products will be sufficient for Madison’s anticipated inventory requirements for the first six months.
Competitive
Conditions
Madison
will be competing with other online retail companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities than Madison
in connection with the sale of similar products. Many of the competitors have a very diverse portfolio and have not confined their
market to one product or line of products, but offer a wide array of products. All of these competitors have been in business
for longer than Madison and may have established more strategic partnerships and relationships than Madison.
Management
believes that it will have a competitive advantage over its competitors due to its plan of operations.
Madison
has identified numerous competitors in the women’s shaving market products segment, from a variety of online merchants,
and although most offer products similar or the same as Madison, management believes Madison will have a competitive advantage
in the ability to fill orders and deliver the Luxurie Legs Products to its customers building on Catherine Zeta-Jones fame
and followership to rapidly draw market attention which will develop buyer loyalty.
Madison
has also identified several online retailers that supply products that management believes would be in direct competition with
Madison’s business. Some of those competitors include, but not limited to, the following:
●
All
Girl Shave Club - an online based supplier of high quality, female focused unique shaving and body products, delivered on
a bi-monthly subscription model.
●
Oui
the People- an online based supplier of premium shaving related products built around a proprietary safety razor focused on
the female consumer .
●
Billie
- an online supplier women’s shaving and beauty products through a 1, 2 or 3 month reoccuring ordering model.

Sovryn
Holdings, Inc.
On
February 16, 2021, Madison Technologies Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement
(the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Sovryn Holdings, Inc. (“Sovryn”) and the holders (the “Sovryn
Shareholders”) of Sovryn’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
Product
and Services
Through
Sovryn Holdings, Inc., Madison has embarked on an acquisition strategy, rolling-up un-affiliated Class A/LPTV TV stations in the
top 100 DMA’s (Designated Market Areas) with a goal of building out a nationwide platform through one or more station acquisitions
per DMA. Each licensed TV station can broadcast between 10 and 12 and potentially more revenue “streams” of content
(“channels”) over-the-air, 24 hours per day/7 days per week. Management’s strategy is to stage the acquisitions
focusing on DMA’s 1-30 and expanding thereafter on DMA’s 31-100, acquiring one station per DMA and building a portfolio
of 100 stations within 18-24 months. Management has currently identified and held discussions with a number stations owners, has
received FCC approval for the acquisition of KNLA/KNET, a revenue producing Class A television station with coverage of 16mm people
in the number 2 DMA in the U.S., Los Angeles, signed letters of intent with 3 other stations in the top 20 and verbal agreements
on another 11 key, cash flowing stations in the top 30 markets.
Madison’s
objective is to create one the largest, most comprehensive, state of the art, broadcast Over-The-Air (“OTA”) content
distribution platforms to capitalize on the changing media and distribution landscape and on the growing OTA viewership in the
U.S. The over-the-air programming carried on these stations is initially expected to include entertainment, shopping, weather,
sports as well as religious networks and networks targeting select ethnic groups with content lease agreements as the prime source
of revenue. Pricing of lease agreements is in part determined by market rank, the signal contour and the number of OTA TV households
in a given market, as well as supply and demand.
As
the platform is built out, management not only anticipates substantial operational synergies from the roll-up but also an expansion
in the revenue base with greater channel utilization and the addition of high-quality third-party content providers that are currently
not reaching the “OTA” viewers, which now stands at an estimated 20mm households (44mm people) out of 108mm TV HH’s
nationwide.
Station
Operations
Madison’s
plan is to acquire 50 independent TV stations in the top 30 DMA’s over the next 6-12 months. In addition, Madison expects
to grow the station base to 100 tv stations nationwide through additional acquisitions targeting the top 100 DMA’s across
the nation, ultimately covering 80% of the population of the U.S. over the next 18-24 months.
Each
licensed TV station has the capability of delivering 10+ different revenue “streams” (channels) of content Over-the-Air,
24 hours per day/7 days per week . If converted to the new FCC approved ATSC 3.0 technology, the streaming capacity will increase
to 25+ channels or more, giving Sovryn the potential to stream content upon completion of the roll-up to over 2500 channels aggregated
over expected 100 stations.
Madison
will operate the stations remotely and centrally, eliminating the need for in-market personnel or a studio facility. Remote operations
of stations results in significant cost efficiencies. Recent FCC deregulation in TV broadcasting has eliminated the need for full
time employees and studio facilities operating Class A and Low Power stations allowing for greater cost efficiency.
New
Broadcast TV Technology
In
2017, the FCC approved ATSC 3.0 technology, a next generation broadcast platform that will bring new revenue opportunities to
broadcast television. ATSC 3.0 is an enhancement to the previous standard, providing new opportunities such as increased capacity,
mobility and addressability allowing for customizable content, viewer measurability, target advertising and internet connectivity.
All these features and more will be available on mobile devices allowing for broadcast operators to capitalize on audiences traditionally
reserved for telecom operators.
Competitive
Conditions
Madison’s
broadcast stations will face competition from other free over-the-air television and radio stations, telecommunication companies,
cable and satellite providers, print media providers, internet and other emerging technologies. Some of the company’s current
and potential competitors have greater resources and access to capital. If Madison needs to obtain additional funding, the company
may be not be able to obtain such capital on favorable terms and be forced to delay its development as a result. Furthermore,
technological advancements and the resulting increase in programming alternatives may increase competition for household audiences.

or modify a license, purchase a new station or sell an existing station. The FCC licenses are critical to the operations and we
cannot operate without them. We cannot be certain that the FCC will renew these licenses in the future if acquired or approve
new acquisitions in a timely manner. If licenses are not renewed or acquisitions are not approved, we may lose revenue that we
could otherwise have earned and this would have an adverse effect on the overall business and financial condition.

this share issuance, Madison relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 903 of Regulation S promulgated pursuant
to that Act by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The value of the restricted shares was set by Madison and the lenders as
part of the negotiations of the terms and conditions of the convertible promissory notes.
December
31, 2020 – Issuance of Convertible Promissory Notes
Subsequent
to December 31, 2020, the Company issued convertible notes payable totaling $35,000, convertible at $0.05 with a rate of 10% per
annum that matures on January 31, 2022.
February
17, 2021 – Issuance of Convertible Promissory Notes
On
February 17, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with funds affiliated with Arena Investors LP (the
“Investors”) pursuant to which we pursuant to which it issued convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount of
$16.5 million for an aggregate purchase price of $15 million (collectively, the “Notes”). In connection with the issuance
of the Notes, the Company issued to the Investors warrants to purchase an aggregate of 192,073,017 shares of Common Stock (collectively,
the “Warrants”) and 1,000 shares of series F convertible preferred stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock”).
The
Notes each have a term of thirty-six months and mature on February 17, 2023, unless earlier converted. The Notes accrue interest
at a rate of 11% per annum, subject to increase to 20% per annum upon and during the occurrence of an event of default. Interest
is payable in cash on a quarterly basis beginning on March 31, 2021. Notwithstanding the above, at the Company’s election,
any interest payable on an applicable payment date may be paid in registered Common Stock of the Company (rather than cash) in
an amount equal (A) the amount of the interest payment due on such date, divided by (B) an amount equal to 80% of the average
VWAP of the Common Stock for the five (5) days immediately preceding the date of conversion.
The
Notes are convertible at any time, at the holder’s option, into shares of our common stock equal to the lesser of: (i) the
amount determined by dividing (A) $50,000,000, by (B) the total number of shares of preferred stock, Common Stock and Common Stock
Equivalents outstanding on such Conversion Date (assuming full conversion or exercise of all then issued and outstanding securities
of the Company that are exercisable for or convertible into such equity securities of the Company) and (ii) $1.00, subject to
adjustment herein (the “Conversion Price”) , subject to certain beneficial ownership
limitations (with a maximum ownership limit of 9.99%) . The conversion price is also
subject to adjustment due to certain events, including stock dividends, stock splits and in connection with the issuance by the
Company of common stock or common stock equivalents at an effective price per share lower than the conversion price then in effect .
Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Conversion Price in effect shall
be equal to 75% of the average VWAP of the Common Stock for the five (5) Trading Days on the Trading Market immediately preceding
the date of conversion (the Alternative Conversion Price”); provided, however, that the Alternate Conversion Price may not
exceed $0.015 per share, as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Notes. The conversion price is also subject to adjustment due
to certain events, including stock dividends, stock splits and in connection with the issuance by the Company of common stock
or common stock equivalents at an effective price per share lower than the conversion price then in effect. The Notes may not
be redeemed by the Company.
Each
Warrant is exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance at an initial exercise price to (i) 125%, times (ii)
the amount determined by dividing (A) $50,000,000, by (B) the total number of shares of preferred stock, Common Stock and Common
Stock Equivalents outstanding on such Conversion Date (assuming full conversion or exercise of all then issued and outstanding
securities of the Company that are exercisable for or convertible into such equity securities of the Company), subject to adjustment
herein , subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations (with a maximum ownership
limit of 9.99%) . The exercise price is also subject to adjustment due to certain events,
including stock dividends, stock splits and recapitalizations .
The
Series F Preferred Stock have no voting rights and shall convert into 4.9% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock
on a fully-diluted basis upon Shareholder Approval.
Each
of the Investors have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to exercise the Warrants and convert the Notes such that
the number of shares of the Company common stock held by each of them and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does
not exceed 9.99% of the Company’s then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

(e)
Penny Stock Rules
Trading
in Madison’s Common Stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules. The SEC has adopted regulations that generally
define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.
These rules require that any broker-dealer who recommends Madison’s Common Stock to persons other than prior customers and
accredited investors, must, prior to the sale, make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive
the purchaser’s written agreement to execute the transaction. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require
the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and
the risks associated with trading in the penny stock market. In addition, broker-dealers must disclose commissions payable to
both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities they offer. The additional
burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in Madison’s
securities, which could severely limit their market price and liquidity of Madison’s securities. The application of the
“penny stock” rules may affect your ability to resell Madison’s securities.

7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
THE
FOLLOWING PRESENTATION OF THE PLAN OF OPERATION OF MADISON TECHNOLOGIES INC. SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE AUDITED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION INCLUDED HEREIN.
Overview
Madison
was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 15, 1998 under the name “Madison-Taylor General Contractors, Inc.”
Effective May 24, 2004, Madison changed its name to “Madison Explorations, Inc.” by a majority vote of the shareholders.
Effective March 9, 2015, Madison changed its name to “Madison Technologies Inc,” by a majority vote of the shareholders.
See Exhibit 3.3 – Certificate of Amendment for more details.
On
September 16, 2016, pursuant to the terms of the Product License Agreement Madison was granted the exclusive rights to distribute
Tuffy Pack’s product line of line custom inserts that provide a level of personal protection from ballistic threats similar
to what law enforcement officers wear daily as bullet proof vests. See Exhibit 10.5 - Product License Agreement for more details.
Effective
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 Madison abandoned the Tuffy Pack product line to focus on the deployment of the Luxurie Legs
line of products
On
July 17, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the Casa Zeta-Jones Brand License Agreement from Luxurie Legs,
LLC of Delaware. Luxurie Legs transferred all of its rights, title and interest in the License Agreement to the Company in exchange
for the Company’s newly issued preferred convertible Series A stock. See Form 8-K - Current Report filed July 20, 2020 for
more details.
On
February 16, 2021, Madison Technologies Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement
(the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Sovryn Holdings, Inc. (“Sovryn”) and the holders (the “Sovryn
Shareholders”) of Sovryn’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Sovryn
Common Shares”), pursuant to which the Shareholders exchanged 100% of the outstanding Sovryn Common Shares, for (i) 100
shares of series B preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”), of the Company which
was transferred by Jeffrey Canouse, the Company’s controlling shareholder and existing Chief Executive Officer (the “Controlling
Shareholder”), to the designee of Sovryn and (ii) 1,000 shares of series E convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001
per share of Sovryn (“Series E Preferred Stock,” and together with Series B Preferred Stock, the “Preferred
Exchange Shares,” and the foregoing exchange of Sovryn Common Shares for Preferred Exchange Shares being the “Equity
Exchange”).See Form 8-K – Current Report filed February 23, 2021 for more details
Madison Technologies Inc. Form 10-K - 2020 Page 12
Results
of Operation for the Period Ended December 31, 2020
During
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, we incurred net losses of $910,163, compared to our net losses in fiscal 2019 of $42,263.
Our losses in the current fiscal year were higher due to an increase in amortization expense, operating expenses and consulting
fees.
We
have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to complete our proposed business plan. For
these reasons our auditors believe that there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Our
financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments
relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be
unable to continue in operation.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of December 31, 2020, Madison had total assets of $510,616, and a working capital deficit of $533,548, compared with a
working capital deficit of $358,377 as of December 31, 2019. The increase in the working capital deficit was primarily
due to an increase in demand notes and interest payable and convertible notes and interest payable. The assets consisted
of $9,491 in cash ($1,366 in 2019) and $67,718 in prepaid expenses ($5,718 in 2019). The liabilities consisted
of $61,779 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities ($33,655 in 2019), $33,500 in license fee payable ($33,500 in 2019), $20,486
in notes payable and accrued interest, $494,992 in convertible notes payable to third parties ($297,766 in 2019).
There
are no assurances that Madison will be able to achieve further sales of its Common Stock or any other form of additional financing.
If Madison is unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue its plan of operations, then Madison will not be able to continue
its plan of operations and its business will fail.
Net
Cash Used in Operating Activities
For
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, net cash used in operating activities increased to $489,325 compared with $51,177 for
the previous fiscal year. The use of cash was primarily due to a net loss of $910,163 less non-cash items of interest on the convertible
debt of $25,134, amortization of intangible assets of $64,687, amortization of interest of $212,769, services of $95,000
and $164 of foreign exchange. Changes in current assets and liabilities of $23,084 also affected cash used.
Net
Cash Used in Investing Activities
The
Company did not invest any cash in investing activities in either the year ending December 31, 2020 or 2019.
Net
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net
cash flows provided by financing activities was $507,450 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 as compared with financing
activities of $50,000 for the previous fiscal year. The net cash provided by financing activities was due to
the proceeds from convertible debt issued.
Plan
of Operation
Luxurie
Legs Products
Madison’s
plan of operation for the next 12 months is to deliver the Luxurie Legs Products into the US market via the use of online
marketing strategies developed by Facebook, Instagram and Youtube and to use fulfillment services including but not limited to
The Jay Group, ModusLink and Echodata. By implementing these companies’ services Madison will be able to establish a reliable
supply chain that will receive delivery of the Luxurie Legs Products, warehouse the Luxurie Legs Products, package
as per each customer order, and ship the Luxurie Legs Products to the customer efficiently and cost effectively.
Madison Technologies Inc. Form 10-K - 2020 Page 13
Management
expects to expand Madison’s sales distribution strategy beginning in May 2021 and to be operational by November 2021, this
includes the following components:
1.
Initial inventory with an estimated cost of $600,000
2.
Social media and online advertising of $50,000
Madison
sales strategy is to develop online exposure through the use of social media marketing and brand influencers and top social media
personas in an aggressive strategy to use the power of their social networks to help build and maintain the shave club membership
base.
Sovryn
Holdings, Inc.
Madison’s
plan is to acquire 50 independent TV stations in the top 30 DMA’s over the next 6-12 months. In addition, Madison expects
to grow the station base to 100 tv stations nationwide through additional acquisitions targeting the top 100 DMA’s across
the nation, ultimately covering 80% of the population of the U.S. over the next 18-24 months.
Each
licensed TV station has the capability of delivering 10+ different revenue “streams” (channels) of content Over-the-Air,
24 hours per day/7 days per week . If converted to the new FCC approved ATSC 3.0 technology, the streaming capacity will increase
to 25+ channels or more, giving Sovryn the potential to stream content upon completion of the roll-up to over 2500 channels aggregated
over expected 100 stations.
Madison
will operate the stations remotely and centrally, eliminating the need for in-market personnel or a studio facility. Remote operations
of stations results in significant cost efficiencies. Recent FCC deregulation in TV broadcasting has eliminated the need for full
time employees and studio facilities operating Class A and Low Power stations allowing for greater cost efficiency.
In
addition to the costs associated to Madison’s sales and distribution strategy, management anticipates incurring the following
expenses during the next 12 month period:
●
Management
anticipates spending approximately $30,000 in ongoing general and administrative expenses per month for the next 12 months,
for a total anticipated expenditure of $360,000 over the next 12 months. The general and administrative expenses for the year
will consist primarily of professional fees for the audit and legal work relating to Madison’s regulatory filings throughout
the year, as well as transfer agent fees, annual mineral claim fees and general office expenses.
●
Management
anticipates spending approximately $15,000 in complying with Madison’s obligations as a reporting company under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and as a reporting issuer in Canada. These expenses will consist primarily of professional
fees relating to the preparation of Madison’s financial statements and completing and filing its annual report, quarterly
report, and current report filings with the SEC and with SEDAR in Canada.
Madison Technologies Inc. Form 10-K - 2020 Page 14
As
at December 31, 2020, Madison had cash of $9,491 and current liabilities of $610,757. Accordingly, Madison will
require additional financing in the amount of $601,266 in order to fund its obligations as a reporting company under the
Securities Act of 1934 and its general and administrative expenses for the next 12 months.
During
the 12 month period following the date of this annual report, management anticipates that Madison will not generate any revenue.
Accordingly, Madison will be required to obtain additional financing in order to continue its plan of operations. Management believes
that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding Madison’s plan of operations as it does not have tangible assets
to secure any debt financing. Rather, management anticipates that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from
the sale of Madison’s Common Stock. However, Madison does not have any financing arranged and cannot provide investors with
any assurance that it will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of its Common Stock to fund its plan of operations.
In the absence of such financing, Madison will not be able to acquire any interest in a new technology and its business plan will
fail. Even if Madison is successful in obtaining equity financing and acquire an interest in a new technology, additional research
and development will be required before a determination as to whether the technology will be commercially viable. If Madison does
not continue to obtain additional financing, it will be forced to abandon its business and plan of operations.
Purchase
of Significant Equipment
We
do not intend to purchase any significant equipment during the next 12 months.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
Madison
has no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would affect its liquidity, capital resources, market risk support
and credit risk support or other benefits.
Material
Commitments for Capital Expenditures
Madison
had no contingencies or long-term commitments at December 31, 2020.
Going
Concern
The
independent auditors’ report accompanying our December 31, 2020 and 2019 financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph
expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared assuming
that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates that we will realize our assets and satisfy our liabilities and commitments
in the ordinary course of business.

Critical
Accounting Policies
Madison’s
financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application
of accounting policies. Management believes that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved
with the following aspects of Madison’s financial statements is critical to an understanding of Madison’s financial
statements.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. Madison regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions
related to deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. Madison bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical
experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the
basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are
not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by Madison may differ materially and adversely from Madison’s
estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations
will be affected.
Fair
Value Measurements
Madison
follows FASB ASC 820, “ Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” , for all financial instruments and non-financial
instruments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. This new accounting standard establishes a single definition of
fair value and a framework for measuring fair value, sets out a fair value hierarchy to be used to classify the source of information
used in fair value measurement 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. Madison defines fair value as
the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required
to be recorded at fair value, Madison considers the principal or most advantageous market in which Madison would transact and
the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as
inherent risk, transfer restrictions and credit risk. Madison has adopted FASB ASC 825, “ Financial Instruments”,
which allows companies to choose to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are
not required to be measured at fair value. Madison has not elected the fair value option for any eligible financial instruments.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Madison
Technologies Inc.
Opinion
on the financial statements
I
have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Madison Technologies Inc. as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the related
statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31,
2020 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements’). In my opinion, the financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2020 and 2019 and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020 in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial
Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has
incurred operating losses since inception, and has a working capital deficiency which raises substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to their planned financing and other matters are also
described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis
for opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on my audits. My company is a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and is required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S.
federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
I
conducted my audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that I plan and perform an audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or
fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor was I engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.
As part of my audits, I am required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, I
express no such opinion.
My
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining on a test basis, evidence
regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. My audits also included evaluating 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.
Critical Audit Matter
Critical audit matters are matters
arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the
audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved
our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. I determined that there are no critical audit matters.
I
have served as the Company’s auditor since 2009.

NOTES
TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December
31, 2020
Note
1 Nature and Continuance of Operations
The
Company was incorporated on June 15, 1998 in the State of Nevada, USA and the Company’s common shares are publicly traded
on the OTC Markets OTCQB.
Up
until fiscal 2014, the Company was in the business of mineral exploration. On May 28, 2014, the Company formalized an agreement
whereby it purchased assets associated with a smokeless cannabis delivery system. The Company planned to develop this system for
commercial purposes. On December 14, 2014, this asset purchase agreement was terminated.
On
September 16, 2016, the Company entered into an exclusive distribution product license agreement with Tuffy Packs, LLC to distribute
products into the United Kingdom and 43 other essentially European countries. The Company Soled ballistic panels which are personal
body armors, that conform to the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Level IIIA threat requirements. The Company’s plan
of operations and sales strategy included online and social media marketing, as well as attending various tradeshows and conferences.
As the Company failed to make specified payments as required, the agreement was amended to a non-exclusive basis.
On
July 17, 2020, the Company entered into an acquisition agreement to acquire the Casa Zeta-Jones Brand License Agreement from Luxurie
Legs, LLC of Delaware (“Luxurie”). Luxurie transferred all its rights, title and interest in the License Agreement
to the Company in exchange for the Company’s newly issued preferred convertible Series A stock. Upon conversion, the stock
could control up to 95% of the outstanding common shares. The agreement also required voting control, represented by newly issued
shares of super voting preferred Series B stock.
On
September 28, 2020, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement to acquire 51% interest of Posto Del Sole Inc., a jewelry
designer company to further develop the Company’s existing brands and create new designer labels. The title and rights will
be transferred when all the terms and conditions in the Securities Exchange Agreement are met. At December 31, 2020, the share
exchange had not closed and advances made to Posto Del Sole Inc. were expensed.
These
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern,
which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next twelve months. Realization
values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments
that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue
as a going concern. At December 31, 2020, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, had a working capital deficit
$533,548, had accumulated losses of $1,484,442 since its inception and expects to incur further losses in the development
of its business, all of which casts substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and/or to obtain
the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come
due. Subsequent to the year-end, the Company entered into a number of agreements that provide financing in amounts greater than
$16.5 million. That said, there is no assurance that the businesses being funded by this additional debt will ultimately be successful.
F- 8
Note
2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a)
Year end
The
Company has elected a December 31st fiscal year end.
b)
Cash and cash equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
As at December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any cash equivalents. (2019 – $nil).
c)
Revenue Recognition
In
May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on the recognition of Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the guidance
is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that
reflects the consideration which the company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this core
principle, the guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The guidance
addresses several areas including transfer of control, contracts with multiple performance obligations, and costs to obtain and
fulfill contracts. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue
and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized
from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract.
The
Company adopted the ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), using the modified retrospective
method. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2020 were not adjusted. The adoption of Topic 606 did not have a material impact
to the Company’s financial statements. Revenue from contracts with customers is generated primarily from selling products
online. The customer orders and pays for the products through an online portal. Once the payment goes through, a purchase order
is generated and submitted to the supplier. When the supplier ships the products to the customer, revenue is then recognized when
the performance obligation is completed.
The
Company recognizes revenue when a contract is in place, goods or services are delivered to the purchaser and collectability is
reasonably assured.
d)
Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
The
Company reports basic loss per share in accordance FASB ASC Topic 260, “ Earnings per share ”. Basic net income
(loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share on the potential exercise of the equity-based
financial instruments is not presented where anti-dilutive.
e)
Use of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying
disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions the Company
may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from the estimates. Management believes such estimates to be
reasonable.
f)
Fair Value Measurements
The
Company follows FASB ASC Topic 820, “ Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” , for all financial instruments
and non-financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. This accounting standard establishes a single
definition of fair value and a framework for measuring fair value, sets out a fair value hierarchy to be used to classify the
source of information used in fair value measurement and expands disclosures about fair value measurements required under other
accounting pronouncements The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to
transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair
value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal
or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market
participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and credit risk. The Company
has adopted FASB ASC 825, “ Financial Instruments”, which allows companies to choose to measure eligible financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not required to be measured at fair value. The Company has not elected
the fair value option for any eligible financial instruments.
F- 9
The
carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments including cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, license
fee payable, demand notes and interest payable and convertible notes payable approximate their fair value due to the short maturities
of these financial instruments.
g)
Income Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and
liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements
or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, all expected future events other than enactment of changes in the tax laws
or rates are considered.
Due
to the uncertainty regarding the Company’s future profitability, the future tax benefits of its losses have been fully reserved.
h)
Intangible Assets
Intangible
assets are non-monetary identifiable assets, controlled by the Company that will produce future economic benefits, based on reasonable
and supportable assumptions about conditions that will exist over the life of the asset. An intangible asset that does not meet
these attributes will be recognized as an expense when it is incurred. Intangible assets that do, are capitalized and initially
measured at cost. Those with a determinable life will be amortized on a systematic basis over their future economic life. Those
with a indefinite useful life shall not be amortized until its useful life is determined to be longer indefinite. An intangible
asset subject to amortization shall be periodically reviewed for impairment. A recoverability test will be performed and, if applicable,
unscheduled amortization is considered.
License
agreements have been capitalized, recorded at cost and amortized over the life of the contracts. Website costs have been capitalized
and will be subject to amortization once the website is operational. They will be amortized over the life of the license
to which it supports.
i)
Recent Accounting Standards
In
December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”.
This new guidance includes several provisions to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The standard removes certain exceptions
for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intraperiod allocation, and calculating income taxes in interim periods.
This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years.
Early adoption of this standard is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s
financial statements.
In
August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40),
Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract”.
This new guidance requires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement (i.e., hosting arrangement) that is a service contract
to follow the internal-use software guidance in ASC 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets or
expense as incurred. Also, capitalized implementation costs related to a hosting arrangement that is a service contract will be
amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement, beginning when the module or component of the hosting arrangement is ready
for its intended use. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within
those fiscal years. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses”. The ASU sets forth a “current
expected credit loss” (CECL) model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments
held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces
the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized
cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Recently, the FASB issued the final
ASU to delay adoption for smaller reporting companies to calendar year 2023. The Company is currently assessing the impact of
the adoption of this ASU on its financial statements.
F- 10
In
February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” and subsequent amendments to the initial guidance:
ASU 2018-10, ASU 2018-11, ASU 2018-20 and ASU 2019-01 (collectively, Topic 842). As the Company has no leases, this pronouncement
did not affect the Company’s financial statements.
The
Company adopts new pronouncements relating to generally accepted accounting principles applicable to the Company as they are issued,
which may be in advance of their effective date. Management does not believe that any pronouncement not yet effective but recently
issued would, if adopted, have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

4 License Agreements
A.
The
Company entered into an exclusive product license agreement on September 16, 2016 with Tuffy Packs, LLC, a Texas corporation,
to sell Ballistic Panels in certain countries, essentially in Europe. The license was for a period of two years and may be
renewed for successive terms of two years each. The payment terms for the license was as follows:
1.
$10,000
payable within seven days after the effective date;
2.
An
additional $15,000 payable within 30 days after the effective date; and
3.
A
final payment of $25,000 payable within 90 days of the effective date.
At
December 31, 2018, the Company had paid $16,500 to the Licensor, leaving an unpaid balance of $33,500. To date, the Company has
recorded a total license amortization of $50,000, which fully amortizes the license.
As
a result of the failure to make payments as required under the agreement, the Company was informed on March 20, 2017, that going
forward, the agreement would be on a non-exclusive basis.
B.
On
July 17, 2020, the Company entered into an acquisition
agreement with Luxurie Legs, LLC, a Delaware corporation, to acquire the Casa Zeta-Jones Brand license agreement. The license
agreement, as amended, grants the Company the worldwide rights to promote and sell certain products, and license the rights
to manufacture, promote and sell such products under the brand Casa Zeta-Jones and more. The license agreement purchase
included the issuance of 92,999 Series A 3% Convertible Preferred Series A shares valued at $343,094, 10,000 Preferred
Series B voting shares valued at $nil, the assumption of $45,000 in debt and costs incurred of $100,000.
The
values were based on the licensor obtaining 95% of the Company’s common shares, whose value was discounted by a 50% factor,
given the lightly traded history in its shares.

All
notes are unsecured and, except where specifically noted, are due on demand. Except for notes denoted below under (e), all accrued
interest occurred in the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. No conversion shall result in the Holder holding in excess of
9.99% of the total issued and outstanding common stock of the Company at any time.
(a)
On
October 28, 2020, $9,500 was converted into 1,900,000 common shares.
(b)
On
July 23, 2020, $16,900 in debt and $950 in costs were converted into 1,785,000
common shares and on November 2, 2020, $17,300 was converted into 1,730,000 common
shares.
(c)
The
notes are convertible into common stock at the discretion of the Holder at the lesser of $0.01 or 50% of the lowest closing
bid price for the Company’s stock during the 20 immediately preceding the date of delivery by Holder to the Company
of the Conversion Notice.
F- 13
(d)
The
notes are convertible into common stock at the discretion of the Holder at 50% of the lowest closing bid price for the Company’s
common stock during the 30 trading days immediately preceding the date of delivery by Holder to the Company of the Conversion
Notice.
(e)
Included
in this debt is $490 due to the former CEO.
(f)
On
April 2, 2020, these notes terms were changed from non-convertible to convertible at $0.05 debt to 1 common share. They were
also amended to include the above noted clause with respect to holding less than 9.99% of the issued and outstanding common
stock. During the year ended December 31, 2020, interest accrued on this debt was $6,164 (2019 - $6,146). For comparative
purposes, these amounts previously shown as debt payable as at December 31, 2019, have been reclassified as convertible debt.
(g)
Based
on the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature, as per FASB topic ASC 470-20 Debt with Conversion and other
Options, it was determined that all of the value of the following notes issued during the year ended December 31, 2020
should be allocated to equity and amortized to interest, based on the due date of the debt. A summary of the balances is as

are no changes in and disagreements with Madison’s accountants on accounting and financial disclosure. Madison’s Independent

9A. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure
Controls and Procedures
In
connection with the preparation of this annual report on Form 10-K, an evaluation was carried out by Madison’s management,
with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of Madison’s
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange
Act”)) as of December 31, 2020. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time
periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including
the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Based
on that evaluation, Madison’s management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that Madison’s
disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required
to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information was accumulated or communicated
to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In particular, Madison has identified material weaknesses
in internal control over financial reporting, as discussed below.
Management’s
Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Management
is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as required by Sarbanes-Oxley
(SOX) Section 404 A. Madison’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of
Madison’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of Madison’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
●
pertain
to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of
Madison’s assets;
●
provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations
of management and the Board of Directors; and
●
provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of Madison’s
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes
in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management
conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control –Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“ COSO ”). As a result of this assessment, management identified material
weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.
A
material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such
that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of Madison’s annual or interim financial statements
will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Madison Technologies Inc. Form 10-K - 2020 Page 20
The
matters involving internal controls and procedures that management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside
directors on Madison’s board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required
internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (3) insufficient written
policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and
SEC disclosure requirements; and (4) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned
material weaknesses were identified by Madison’s Chief Financial Officer in connection with the audit of its financial statements
as of December 31, 2020 and communicated the matters to management.
As
a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described above, management has concluded that,
as of December 31, 2020, Madison’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on the criteria in
Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
Management
believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2), (3) and (4) above did not have an effect on Madison’s financial
results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors
on Madison’s board of directors caused and continues to cause an ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring
of the required internal controls over financial reporting.
Madison
is committed to improving its financial organization. As part of this commitment and when funds are available, Madison will create
a position to Madison to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase its personnel resources and technical
accounting expertise within the accounting function by: (i) appointing one or more outside directors to its board of directors
who will also be appointed to the audit committee of Madison resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake
the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls over financial reporting; and (ii) preparing and
implementing sufficient written policies and checklists that will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting
with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.
Management
believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who will also be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee,
will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on Madison’s Board.
In addition, management believes that preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists will remedy the following
material weaknesses: (i) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the
requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (ii) ineffective controls over period end financial
close and reporting processes. Further, management believes that the hiring of additional personnel who have the technical expertise
and knowledge will result proper segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances within the department. Additional
personnel will also provide the cross training needed to support Madison if personnel turn-over issues within the department occur.
This coupled with the appointment of additional outside directors will greatly decrease any control and procedure issues Madison
may encounter in the future.
Management
will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of Madison’s internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing
basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as
funds allow.
Madison’s
independent auditors have not issued an attestation report on management’s assessment of Madison’s internal control
over financial reporting. As a result, this annual report does not include an attestation report of Madison’s independent
registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Madison was not required to have, nor has
Madison, engaged its independent registered public accounting firm to perform an audit of internal control over financial reporting
pursuant to the temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit Madison to provide only management’s
report in this annual report.
Changes
in Internal Controls
There
were no changes in Madison’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act)
during the quarter ended December 31, 2020, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Madison’s
internal control over financial reporting.

(c)
Director independence
Madison’s
board of directors currently consists of Phillip Falcone, Henry Turner, Warren Zenna and Jeffrey Canouse. Pursuant to Item 407(a)(1)(ii)
of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act, Madison’s board of directors has adopted the definition of “independent director”
as set forth in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Manual. In summary, an “independent director” means a person other
than an executive officer or employee of Madison or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of Madison’s
board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director,
and includes any director who accepted any compensation from Madison in excess of $200,000 during any period of 12 consecutive
months with the three past fiscal years. Also, the ownership of Madison’s stock will not preclude a director from being
independent.
In
applying this definition, Madison’s board of directors has determined that Mr. Gallo does not qualify as an “independent
director” pursuant to Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Manual.
As
of the date of the report, Madison did not maintain a separately designated compensation or nominating committee. Madison has
also adopted this definition for the independence of the members of its audit committee. Jeffrey Canouse serves on Madison’s
audit committee. Madison’s board of directors has determined that Mr. Canouse is not “independent” for purposes
of Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Manual, applicable to audit, compensation and nominating committee members, and is “independent”
for purposes of Section 10A(m)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act.
