the “Warrants”) and 1,000 shares of series F convertible preferred stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock”).
The

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.
