PART I

This Annual Report on Form 10-K and the information incorporated by reference includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Various statements, estimates, predictions, and projections stated under "Risk Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations" and "Business," and elsewhere in this Annual Report are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These statements appear in a number of places in this Annual Report and include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of Madison Explorations, Inc. or our officers with respect to, among other things, the ability to successfully implement our exploration strategies, including trends affecting our business, financial condition and results of operations. While these forward-looking statements and the related assumptions are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of the related business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions, or other future performance suggested herein. These statements are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates, which are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control and reflect future business decisions which are subject to change. Some of these assumptions inevitably will not materialize, and unanticipated events will occur which will affect our results. Some important factors (but not necessarily all factors) that could affect our revenues, growth strategies, future profitability and operating results, or that otherwise could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by any forward-looking statement, include the following:

(1)

our ability to successfully implement our exploration strategies;

   
(2)

the success or failure of our exploration activities and other opportunities that we may pursue;

   
(3)

changes in the availability of debt or equity capital and increases in borrowing costs or interest rates;

   
(4)

changes in regional and national business and economic conditions, including the rate of inflation;

   
(5)

changes in the laws and government regulations applicable to us; and

   
(6)

increased competition.

Stockholders and other users of this Annual Report on Form 10-K are urged to carefully consider these factors in connection with the forward-looking statements. We do not intend to publicly release any revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.

Madison Explorations, Inc. was incorporated on June 15, 1998 under the laws of the State of Nevada to engage in any lawful corporate activity. We have incorporated one wholly owned subsidiary named Scout Resources, Inc. to conduct Canadian exploration activities and for us to be in compliance with local law that requires a domestic Canadian corporation to conduct local exploration activities. Both Madison Explorations, Inc. and Scout Resources, Inc. will be referred to collectively as the "Company."

Our principal executive offices are at 1100 E. 29th St., Suite 153, N. Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Our telephone number is (778) 928-7677.

We maintain a website at HTTP://WWW.MADISONEXPLORATION.COM. Our website and its linked contents are not part of this form.

We were engaged in the business of diamond exploration in the Southern area of the Province of Saskatchewan, Canada. During the current financial year , with the exception of two, all our mineral claims expired. The two remaining claims expired, subsequent to our 2008 year end, on March 12, 2009. We are currently evaluating mineral properties with the goal of identifying a property for acquisition. To date, we have not identified a property that we intend to acquire.

Our viability and potential success lie in our ability to acquire, exploit, develop and generate revenue from future mineral interests. There can be no assurance that such revenues will be obtained. The exploration of mineral deposits involves significant financial risks over a long period of time which even with a combination of careful evaluations, experience and knowledge may not be eliminated. It is impossible to ensure that proposed exploration programs will be profitable or successful.

The inability of the Company to locate a viable mineral deposit will have a material adverse effect on its operations and could result in a total loss of our business.

COMPETITION

The mineral exploration business is competitive in all of its phases. We expect to compete with numerous other exploration companies and individuals, including competitors with greater financial, technical and other resources than us, for resources required for exploration. Their greater resources will likely position these competitors to conduct exploration within a shorter time frame than us.


GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND LICENSING

The operations of the Company requires licenses and permits from various governmental authorities. The Company believes that it held all necessary licenses and permits required to carry on with its activities under applicable laws and regulations and the Company believes it complied in all material respects with the terms of such licenses and permits. However, such licenses and permits are subject to change in regulations and in various operating circumstances. The Company may not be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits required to carry out exploration in the future.

EMPLOYEES

We currently have two part time employees, our officers and directors, who work for the Company on a part time basis. None of these employees devote more than 10% of their time to the Company. No officer or director is paid for services rendered.

SEASONALITY

Due to the potential for extremely cold weather in Saskatchewan during the period from November to March, there may be years when exploration is not possible during these months.

CURRENCY FLUCTUATION

The Company's currency fluctuation exposure is primarily to the Canadian dollar as all of the Company's properties were in Saskatchewan. Such fluctuations may materially affect the Company's financial position and results of operations.

SUBSIDIARIES

We have incorporated one wholly owned subsidiary named Scout Resources, Inc. to conduct our Canadian exploration activities and for us to be in compliance with local law that requires a domestic Canadian corporation to conduct local exploration activities. Both Madison Explorations, Inc. and Scout Resources, Inc. will be sometimes referred to collectively as the "Company."

REPORTS TO SECURITY HOLDERS

The Company does not intend to deliver an annual report to its security holders. The public may read and copy any materials filed with the SEC, such as this Form 10-K and Form 10-Q reports. The Company is an electronic filer under the SEC's EDGAR filing program. Accordingly, the Company's filings are maintained by the SEC in a database at www.sec.gov and are available to all security holders.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in an exploration stage mining company with no history of operations such as ours involves an unusually high amount of risk, both unknown and known, and present and potential, including, but not limited to the risks enumerated below.

THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT WE CAN ESTABLISH THE EXISTENCE OF A MINERAL RESOURCE IN COMMERCIALLY XPLOITABLE QUANTITIES. UNTIL WE CAN DO SO, WE CANNOT EARN ANY REVENUES AND IF WE DO NOT DO SO WE WILL LOSE ALL OF THE FUNDS THAT WE EXPEND ON EXPLORATION. IF WE DO NOT DISCOVER ANY MINERAL RESOURCE IN A COMMERCIALLY EXPLOITABLE QUANTITY, OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL.

We have not established the existence of a commercially exploitable mineral reserve, nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to do so. If we do not, our business will fail. A mineral reserve is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in its Industry Guide 7 (HTTP://WWW.SEC.GOV/DIVISIONS/CORPFIN/FORMS/INDUSTRY.HTM#SECGUIDE7) as that part of a mineral deposit, which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. The probability of an individual prospect ever having a "reserve" that meets the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Industry Guide 7 is extremely remote.

Even if we do eventually discover a mineral reserve there can be no assurance that it can be developed into a producing mine and extract those resources. Both mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk and few properties, which are explored, are ultimately developed into producing mines.

The commercial viability of an established mineral deposit will depend on a number of factors including, by way of example, the size, grade and other attributes of the mineral deposit, the proximity of the resource to infrastructure, government regulation and market prices. Most of these factors will be beyond our control, and any of them could increase costs and make extraction of any identified mineral resource unprofitable.

MINERAL OPERATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW AND GOVERNMENT REGULATION. EVEN IF WE DISCOVER A MINERAL RESOURCE IN A COMMERCIALLY EXPLOITABLE QUANTITY, THESE LAWS AND REGULATIONS COULD RESTRICT OR PROHIBIT THE EXPLOITATION OF THAT MINERAL RESOURCE. IF WE CANNOT EXPLOIT ANY MINERAL RESOURCE THAT WE MIGHT DISCOVER ON OUR PROPERTIES, OUR BUSINESS MAY FAIL.

Both mineral exploration and extraction require permits from various federal, provincial and local governmental authorities and are governed by laws and regulations, including those with respect to prospecting, mine development, mineral production, transport, export, taxation, labor standards, occupational


health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain any of the permits required for the continued exploration of our mineral properties or for the construction and operation of a mine on our properties at economically viable costs. If we cannot accomplish these objectives, our business could fail.

We believe that we are in compliance with all material laws and regulations that currently apply to our activities but there can be no assurance that we can continue to do so. Current laws and regulations could be amended and we might not be able to comply with them, as amended. Further, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain all permits necessary for our future operations, or that we will be able to obtain them on reasonable terms. To the extent such approvals are required and are not obtained, we may be delayed or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of our mineral properties.

IF WE ESTABLISH THE EXISTENCE OF A MINERAL RESOURCE IN A COMMERCIALLY EXPLOITABLE QUANTITY, WE WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL IN ORDER

TO DEVELOP THE PROPERTY INTO A PRODUCING MINE. IF WE CANNOT RAISE THIS ADDITIONAL CAPITAL, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXPLOIT THE RESOURCE, AND OUR BUSINESS COULD FAIL.

If we do discover mineral resources in commercially exploitable quantities we will be required to expend substantial sums of money to establish the extent of the resource, develop processes to extract it and develop extraction and processing facilities and infrastructure. Although we may derive substantial benefits from the discovery of a major deposit, there can be no assurance that such a resource will be large enough to justify commercial operations, nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to raise the funds required for development on a timely basis. If we cannot raise the necessary capital or complete the necessary facilities and infrastructure, our business may fail.

MINERAL EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT IS SUBJECT TO EXTRAORDINARY OPERATING RISKS. WE DO NOT CURRENTLY INSURE AGAINST THESE RISKS. IN THE EVENT OF A CAVE-IN OR SIMILAR OCCURRENCE, OUR LIABILITY MAY EXCEED OUR RESOURCES, WHICH WOULD HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON OUR COMPANY.

Mineral exploration, development and production involve many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Our operations will be subject to all the hazards and risks inherent in the exploration, development and production of resources, including liability for pollution, cave-ins or similar hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. Any such event could result in work stoppages and damage to property, including damage to the environment. We do not currently maintain any insurance coverage against these operating hazards. The payment of any liabilities that arise from any such occurrence would have a material, adverse impact on our Company.

MINERAL PRICES ARE SUBJECT TO DRAMATIC AND UNPREDICTABLE FLUCTUATIONS.

We expect to derive revenues, if any, from the eventual extraction and sale of diamonds as well as precious and base metals such as gold, silver and copper. The price of those commodities has fluctuated widely in recent years, and is affected by numerous factors beyond our control including international, economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, global or regional consumptive patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to new extraction developments and improved extraction and production methods. The effect of these factors on the price of base and precious metals, and, therefore, the economic viability of any of our exploration projects, cannot accurately be predicted.

THE MINING INDUSTRY IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN ACQUIRING MINERAL CLAIMS. IF WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO ACQUIRE PROPERTIES TO EXPLORE FOR MINERAL RESOURCES, WE MAY BE REQUIRED TO REDUCE OR CEASE OPERATIONS.

There are hundreds of public and private companies that are actively engaged in mineral exploration. The exact number is virtually impossible to quantify. Furthermore, since the mineral exploration sphere is so diverse, it is quite difficult to identify specific primary competitors and make comparisons to our Company.

Many of our competitors have greater financial resources and technical facilities. Accordingly, we will attempt to compete primarily through the knowledge and experience of our management. This competition could adversely affect our ability to acquire suitable prospects for exploration in the future. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will acquire any interest in additional mineral resource properties that might yield reserves or result in commercial mining operations.

THIRD PARTIES MAY CHALLENGE OUR RIGHTS TO OUR RESOURCE PROPERTIES OR THE AGREEMENTS THAT PERMIT US TO EXPLORE OUR PROPERTIES MAY EXPIRE IF WE FAIL TO TIMELY RENEW THEM AND PAY THE REQUIRED FEES.

In connection with the acquisition of our mineral properties, we sometimes conduct only limited reviews of title and related matters, and obtain certain representations regarding ownership. These limited reviews do not necessarily preclude third parties from challenging our title and, furthermore, our title may be defective. Consequently, there can be no assurance that we hold good and


marketable title to all of our mining concessions and mining claims. If any of our concessions or claims were challenged, we could incur significant costs and lose valuable time in defending such a challenge. These costs or an adverse ruling with regards to any challenge of our titles could have a material adverse affect on our financial position or results of operations. There can be no assurance that any such disputes or challenges will be resolved in out favor.

We are not aware of challenges to the location or area of any of the mining concessions and mining claims. There is, however, no guarantee that title to the claims and concessions will not be challenged or impugned in the future.

BECAUSE OUR COMMON STOCK IS TRADED ONLY ON THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD, YOUR ABILITY TO SELL YOUR SHARES IN THE SECONDARY TRADING MARKET MAY BE LIMITED.

Currently, our common stock is traded only on the OTC Bulletin Board. Consequently, the liquidity of our common stock is impaired, not only in the number of shares that are bought and sold, but also through delays in the timing of transactions, and coverage by security analysts and the news media, if any, of our Company. As a result, prices for shares of our common stock may be different than might otherwise prevail if our common stock was quoted or traded on a national securities exchange such as the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, or the American Stock Exchange.

OUR STOCK PRICE HAS BEEN VOLATILE AND YOUR INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK COULD SUFFER A DECLINE IN VALUE.

Our common stock is traded only on the OTC Bulletin Board. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include price fluctuations of precious metals, government regulations, disputes regarding mining claims, broad stock market fluctuations and economic conditions in the United States.

BECAUSE WE DO NOT INTEND TO PAY ANY DIVIDENDS ON OUR COMMON SHARES, INVESTORS SEEKING DIVIDEND INCOME OR LIQUIDITY SHOULD NOT PURCHASE OUR SHARES.

We do not currently anticipate declaring and paying dividends to our shareholders in the near future. It is our current intention to apply net earnings, if any, in the foreseeable future to increasing our working capital. Prospective investors seeking or needing dividend income or liquidity should, therefore, not purchase our common stock. We currently have no revenues and a history of losses, so there can be no assurance that we will ever have sufficient earnings to declare and pay dividends to the holders of our shares, and in any event, a decision to declare and pay dividends is at the sole discretion of our board of directors, who currently do not intend to pay any dividends on our common shares for the foreseeable future.

OUR STOCK IS A PENNY STOCK. TRADING OF OUR STOCK MAY BE RESTRICTED BY THE SEC'S PENNY STOCK REGULATIONS, WHICH MAY LIMIT A STOCKHOLDER'S ABILITY TO BUY AND SELL OUR STOCK.

Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors". The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

FINRA SALES PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS MAY ALSO LIMIT A STOCKHOLDER'S ABILITY TO BUY AND SELL OUR STOCK.

In addition to the "penny stock" rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (see above for discussions of penny stock rules), the FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations


of these rules, the FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

PLEASE READ THIS FORM 10K CAREFULLY. YOU SHOULD RELY ONLY ON THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN AND ON THE OTHER REPORTS AND OUR FORM 10SB, AS AMENDED, THAT WE HAVE FILIED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. WE HAVE NOT AUTHORIZED ANYONE TO PROVIDE YOU WITH DIFFERENT INFORMATION.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.

We do not own real property nor do we hold any lease or other real property interest except for the exploration claims we have acquired from staking claims directly with the government of Saskatchewan. During the current financial year , with the exception of two, all our mineral claims expired.

The two remaining claims expired, subsequent to our 2008 year end, on March 12, 2009.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEDINGS.

The Company is not currently party to any material legal proceedings and to our knowledge, no such proceedings are threatened or contemplated.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

During the fourth quarter of calendar year 2008, no matters were submitted to a vote of the security holders of the Company.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

MARKET INFORMATION

There is no established trading market in our Common Stock.

The Company's common stock is traded only on the OTC Bulletin Board (OTC: MDEX).

SHAREHOLDERS

As at April 10, 2009 there are approximately six hundred and fifty holders of our Common Stock.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE

Except for the shares of stock held by our officers and directors, all of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock held by non-affiliates are eligible for sale under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, subject to certain limitations included in said Rule. In general, under Rule 144, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated), who has satisfied a one year holding period, under certain circumstances, may sell within any three-month period a number of shares which does not exceed the greater of one percent of the then outstanding Common Stock or the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale. Rule 144 also permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of shares without any quantity limitation by a person who has satisfied a two-year holding period and who is not, and has not been for the preceding three months, an affiliate of the Company.

In summary, Rule 144 applies to affiliates (that is, control persons) and nonaffiliates when they resell restricted securities (those purchased from the Company or an affiliate of the Company in nonpublic transactions).

Non-affiliates reselling restricted securities, as well as affiliates selling restricted or Non-restricted securities, are not considered to be engaged in a distribution and, therefore, are not deemed to be underwriters as defined in Section 2(11), if six conditions are met:

(1) Current public information must be available about the Company unless sales are limited to those made by non-affiliates after two years.

(2) When restricted securities are sold, generally there must be a one-year holding period.

(3) When either restricted or non-restricted securities are sold by an affiliate after one year, there are limitations on the amount of securities that may be sold; when restricted securities are sold by non-affiliates between the first and second years, there are identical limitations; after two years, there are no volume limitations for re-sales by non-affiliates.

(4) Except for sales of restricted securities made by non-affiliates after two years, all sales must be made in brokers' transactions as defined in Section 4(4) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or a transaction directly with a "market maker" as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(38) of the 1934 Act.


(5) Except for sales of restricted securities made by non-affiliates after two years, a notice of proposed sale must be filed for all sales in excess of 500 shares or with an aggregate sales price in excess of $10,000.

(6) There must be a bona fide intention to sell within a reasonable time after the filing of the notice referred to in (5) above.

Capital Risks

We do not currently have sufficient capital to acquire a mineral property or engage in exploration activities. The extent to which we will be able to acquire a mineral property and explore for minerals will be determined by our ability to engage in offerings of equity securities and/or debt securities. Without additional capital, we will have to either curtail our business plan, or abandon it altogether.

We do not have any identified sources of additional capital, the absence of which may prevent us from continuing our operations.

We do not, presently, have any arrangements with any investment banking firms or institutional lenders. Because we will need additional capital, we will have to expend significant effort to raise operating funds. These efforts may not be successful. If not, we will have to either curtail our business plan, or abandon it altogether.

SECURITIES AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE UNDER EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

As at the date of this report there are no securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

The following discussion regarding the Company and our business and operations contains "forward-looking statements." These statements consist of any statement other than a recitation of historical fact and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate" or "continue" or its negative or other variations or comparable terminology. All forward-looking statements are necessarily speculative and there are certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those referred to in such forward-looking statements.

PLAN OF OPERATION

The Company was incorporated in June of 1998 under the name of "Madison-Taylor General Contractors, Inc." and intended to engage as a general contractor for constructing temporary buildings at exploratory mining locations. Madison-Taylor General Contractors, Inc. was unable to implement the business and remained inactive from 1998 until 2004. The Company commenced operations under its current name in April of 2004. After implementing the Company's current plan of operation, the Company has relied on advances and contributions of capital from our principal shareholders, proceeds from the sale of our mineral properties and proceeds from the sale of our securities to finance its operations. As of December 31, 2008, we had $26,467 of cash. The Company will need additional equity or debt financing to acquire and explore future mineral properties.

The officers and directors have agreed to pay all costs and expenses of having us comply with the federal securities laws (and being a public company, should the Company be unable to do so). We estimate that these costs will be approximately $30,000 per year. Our officers and directors have also agreed to pay the other expenses of the Company, excluding mineral property acquisition cost, those direct costs and expenses of data gathering and mineral exploration, should the Company be unable to do so. To implement our business plan, we will need to secure financing for our business development. We have no source for funding at this time.

If we are unable to raise additional funds to satisfy our reporting obligations, investors will no longer have access to current financial and other information about our business affairs.

Additional funding to acquire a mineral property and to conduct an exploration program will depend upon our ability to secure loans or obtain either private or public financing. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain such funding on any terms or terms acceptable to us and if adequate funds are not available, we believe that our business development will be adversely affected. Accordingly, there is no assurance that we will be able to continue in business.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders:
Madison Explorations, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Madison Explorations, Inc. (An Exploration Stage Enterprise) as of December 31, 2008 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the period from date of inception (June 15, 1998) to December 31, 2007. That period was audited by other auditors, whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to that period, is based solely on the report of other auditors.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance 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. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audit and the report of other auditors, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2008 and period from date of inception (June 15, 1998) to December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States of America assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is an exploration stage enterprise and has yet to reach profitable levels of operation, 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors
Madison Explorations, Inc.
Vancouver, British Columbia

I have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Madison Explorations, Inc. (An Exploration Stage Enterprise) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended and the period June 15, 1998 (inception) through December 31, 2007. 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 audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In my opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Madison Explorations, Inc. (An Exploration Stage Enterprise) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended and the period June 15, 1998 (inception) through December 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has limited operations and has no established source of revenue. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2008

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 Bulletin Board. Madison Explorations, Inc. was formerly known as Madison-Taylor General Contractors, Inc. The Company is engaged in activities related to the exploration for mineral resources in Canada. The Company currently has operations in the exploration of natural resources and, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 7, "ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING BY EXPLORATION STAGE ENTERPRISES," is considered an Exploration Stage Enterprise.

 

 

The Company intends to develop the properties from early stage exploration through completion of the exploration phase. Prior to any further exploration decisions, a mineral deposit must be appropriately assessed. Gathering this data usually takes several years. Once the appropriate data has been gathered, management will determine whether and how to proceed.

 

 

The Company incorporated Scout Resources, Inc. as a wholly owned subsidiary to conduct the Canadian exploration activities of the Company.

 

 

The Company is in the business of diamond exploration. Management plans to further evaluate, develop and exploit their interests in diamond mineral properties.

 

 

These consolidated 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. As at December 31, 2008, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $135,364 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. Management has no formal plan in place to address this concern but believes that the Company will be able to obtain additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances. However, there is no assurance of additional funding being available.

 

 

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, 2008, the Company did not have any cash equivalents (2007 – $nil). As at December 31, 2008, $982 was deposited in accounts that were federally insured (2007 - $1,620).

c) Revenue Recognition

 

 

The Company recognizes revenue when a contract is in place, minerals are delivered to the purchaser and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

 

 

d) Stock-Based Compensation

 

 

The Company has adopted the new SFAS No. 123R "Share Based Payments" in accounting for stock options and similar equity instruments. Accordingly, compensation costs attributable to stock options or similar equity instruments granted to employees are measured at the fair value at the grant date, and expensed over the expected service period with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital. Transactions in which goods or services are received from non-employees in exchange for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. As at December 31, 2008 the Company has not issued any stock options or similar equity instruments.

 

 

 

e) Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share

 

 

The Company reports basic loss per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” and International Accounting Standards IAS 33. 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.

 

 

 

f) Comprehensive Income

 

 

In accordance with SFAS 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"), comprehensive income consists of net income and other gains and losses affecting stockholder's equity that are excluded from net income, such as unrealized gains and losses on investments available for sale, foreign currency translation gains and losses and minimum pension liability.

 

 

 

g) 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.

 

 

 

h) Fair Value Measurements

 

 

Effective June 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, 'Fair Value Measurements,' for all financial instruments and non-financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. SFAS 157 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.

 

 

SFAS 157 established market and observable inputs as the preferred source of values, followed by assumptions based on hypothetical transaction in the absence of market inputs.

 

 

The valuation techniques required by SFAS 157 are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

 

 

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical asset or liabilities.

 

 

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

 

 

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 became effective immediately.


  i)

Financial Instruments

     
 

Fair Value:

     
 

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable and accrued interest and advances from a related party were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

     
 

The fair value of the convertible note payable was based on its beneficial conversion feature at the time of commitment, which requires allocation the instrument between the host debt and the embedded equity component. Based on the intrinsic value of the conversion feature, the total value of the instrument was allocated to the equity component and included in additional paid-in capital. The balance of nil was allocated to the host debt.

     
 

The resulting discount is being amortized to income over 60 months.

i) Financial Instruments – (continued)

 

 

 

Risks:

 

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash. Management does not believe the Company is exposed to significant credit risk.

 

 

Management, as well, does not believe the Company is exposed to significant interest rate risks during the period presented in these financial statements.

 

 

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the eventual outcome of the risks and uncertainties described above.

 

 

 

j) 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.

 

 

 

k) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

 

Impairment losses on long-lived assets, such as mining claims, are recognized when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by such assets are less than their carrying value and, accordingly, all or a portion of such carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are then measured by comparing the fair value of assets to their carrying amounts.

 

 

 

l) Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

 

 

The Company's functional currency is US dollars. Foreign currency balances are translated into US dollars as follows:

 

 

Monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Non-monetary assets are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at their acquisition, unless such assets are carried at market or nominal value, in which case they are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Revenue and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Foreign exchange gains and losses in the period are included in operations

 

 

The functional currency of the wholly owned subsidiary is Canadian dollars. The assets and liabilities arising from these operations are translated at current exchange rates and related revenues and expenses at the exchange rates in effect at the time the revenue or expense is incurred. Resulting translation adjustments, if material, are accumulated as a separate component of accumulated other

comprehensive income in the statement of stockholders' deficit while foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in operations.

 

 

 

m) Mining Costs

 

 

Exploration and evaluation costs are expensed as incurred. Management's decision to develop or mine a property is based on an assessment of the viability of the property and the availability of financing. The Company will capitalize mining exploration and other related costs attributable to reserves when a definitive feasibility study establishes proven and probable reserves. Capitalized mining costs will be expensed using the unit of production method and will also be subject to an impairment assessment.

 

 

 

n) Consolidation

 

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiary, Scout Resources Inc. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

 

 

o) Derivative Instruments

 

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended by SFAS No. 137, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB No. 133”, SFAS No. 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities”, and SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, which is effective for the Company as of its inception. These statements establish accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. They require that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.

 

 

If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change. The Company has not entered into derivative contracts to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes.

 

 

 

p) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”). SFAS 141R will significantly change the accounting for business combinations in a number of areas including the treatment of contingent consideration, contingencies, acquisition costs, IPR&D and restructuring costs. In addition, under SFAS 141R, changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties in a business combination after the measurement period will impact income tax expense. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 141(R) on its financial statements but does not expect it to have a material effect.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

 

 

p) Recent Accounting Pronouncements - (continued)

 

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests (NCI) and classified as a component of equity. This new consolidation method will significantly change the account with minority interest holders. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS160 on its financial statements but does not expect it to have a material effect.

 

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 “Disclosure About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment to FASB Statement 133” (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about derivatives and hedging activities and the reasons for using them. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of SFAS 161 on its financial statements but does not expect it to have a material effect.

 

 

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 162, “The hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the frame work for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. This statement shall be effective 60 days after the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendment to AU Section 411, “the Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of SFAS 162 on its financial statements but does not expect it to have a material effect.

 

 

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts – and interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60” (“SFAS 163”. SFAS 163 interprets Statement 60 and amends existing accounting pronouncements to clarify their application to the financial guarantee insurance contracts included within the scope of that statement. SFAS 163 is effective for fifnancial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and all interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently reviewing the provisions of SFAS 163 on its financial statements but does not expect it to have a material effect.

Wood Mountain North

 

 

Pursuant to an agreement of May 4, 2006, the Company granted a 15% option to the mineral claim to Cobra Energy, Inc. in exchange for a payment of $50,000 that was originally treated as a deposit. The deposit was brought into income in 2007 when Cobra did not commit any more funds as was required under the agreement, thereby giving up their rights to any revenue therefrom.

ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

During the current financial year Kyle L. Tingle, CPA, LLC was replaced as our independent registered accountants by K.R. Margetson Ltd. , Chartered Accountants. We had no disagreements with either accountants during the current financial year.

ITEM 8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as required by Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Section 404 A. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company's financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As of December 31, 2008, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report, such internal controls and procedures were not effective to detect the inappropriate application of US GAAP rules as more fully described below. This was due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal control over financial reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be considered to be material weaknesses.

The matters involving internal controls and procedures that the Company's 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 the Company'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 the Company's Chief Financial Officer in connection with the audit of our financial statements as of December 31, 2008 and communicated the matters to our management.

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2), (3) and (4) above did not have an affect on the Company's financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on the Company's board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures can result in the Company's determination to its financial statements for the future years.

We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, we will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function when funds are available to the Company: i) Appointing one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to the audit committee of the Company resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; and ii) Preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists which 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 shall 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 the Company'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 the Company 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 the company may encounter in the future.

We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our 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. This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report is not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.


ITEM 8B. CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the small business issuer's last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Director, Secretary and Treasurer

Joseph Gallo

Mr.Gallo developed his managerial skills while moving up the store managerial ranks with Canada Safeway, Ltd., starting as a clerk in 1977, through service as a Team Leader and becoming an Assistant Store Manager and Store Closer, a position which he held until his resignation in 2006. Since 2006, he has devoted his time to developing his residential construction and rehabilitation business (d/b/a "Solid Construction") which he founded and has run since 1992. In 1986, Mr. Gallo founded Jovic Plasticfacture, to which he assigned the patent for the bicycle brake light which he had invented which incorporated microprocessor technology ("speed indicating light mechanism"). The product was voted the most innovative product of the year by the Vancouver Design Group, was awarded two governmental grants, and the company commercialized the product until 1991. Mr. Gallo's past experience includes the staking of mineral exploration properties for companies such as US Diamonds Corporation and Atlas Corporation.

Steven Cozine

Mr. Cozine, from 2001 to the present, has primarily been a business consultant to private and public corporations. In addition, from February, 2005 to March, 2007 he served as the primary officer and director of Zandaria Ventures Inc., a US reporting public company. From May 1993 to August 1999 he was a director of Kelso Technologies, Inc., (a British Columbia reporting company) which he rejoined in Fall, 2006 as a Vice President.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Security Exchange Act of 1934 requires directors, executive officers and 10% or greater shareholders of the Company to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership (Form 3) and reports of changes in ownership of equity securities of the Company (Form 4 and Form 5) and to provide copies of all such Forms as filed to the Company. Based solely on our review of the copies of these forms received by us or representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that SEC beneficial ownership reporting requirements for fiscal 2008 were met.

Due to the complexity of the reporting rules, we expect to institute procedures to assist our officers and directors with these obligations.

CODE OF ETHICS

The Company's board of directors has not adopted a code of ethics (the "Code") that applies to members of our Board of Directors, its officers including its Chief Executive Officer (being its principal executive officer), and its chief financial officer (being its principal financial and accounting officer). Because the Company currently has only two executive officers (both of whom are also directors of the Company), it is not considered necessary for the Company to adopt a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Once the Company's operations expand and it has additional employees, the Company intends to adopt a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

ITEM 10. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

Our officers and directors may be deemed parents and promoters of the Company as those terms are defined by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. All directors hold office until the next annual stockholder's meeting or until their death, resignation, retirement, removal, disqualification, or until their successors have been elected and qualified. Officers of the Company serve at the will of the Board of Directors.

No remuneration has been paid for officers and directors except reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenditures for activities on the Company's behalf. None of the officers and directors anticipates devoting more than 10% of his time to Company activities.

The Company has paid no compensation or consulting fees to its executive officers as a group. The Company is not a party to any employment agreements. The Company has no retirement pension, profit sharing or stock option plans or insurance or medical reimbursement plans covering its officers and directors,


and does not contemplate implementing any such plans at this time.

ITEM 11. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

The following table sets forth the name and address of each officer and director of the Company and each person who owns beneficially more than five percent of the Common Stock of the Company, and the number of shares owned by each such person and by all officers and directors as a group:
