Item 1.Business.

 

(a) Business Development

 

Madison Explorations, Inc. (“Madison”) is a Nevada corporation that was incorporated on June 15, 1998. Madison was initially incorporated under the name “Madison-Taylor General Contractors, Inc.” Effective May 24, 2004, Madison changed its name to “Madison Explorations, Inc.”

 

Madison incorporated one wholly owned subsidiary named Scout Resources, Inc. to conduct Canadian exploration activities and to ensure that Madison was in compliance with local law that requires a domestic Canadian corporation to conduct local exploration activities. Both Madison and Scout Resources, Inc. will be referred to collectively as the “Company”.

 

Madison maintains its statutory resident agent’s office at 1859 Whitney Mesa Drive, Henderson, Nevada, 89014 and its business office is located at 2825 E. Cottonwood Parkway, Suite 500, Salt Lake City, Utah, 84121. Madison’s office telephone number is (801) 326-0110.

 

Madison has an authorized capital of 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock with a par value of $0.001 per share, of which 113,020,000 shares of Common Stock are currently issued and outstanding.

 

Madison maintains a website at HTTP://WWW.MADISONEXPLORATION.COM. Madison’s website and its linked contents are not part of this annual report.

 

Madison has not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings. There has been no material reclassification, merger consolidation or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of Madison’s business.

(b) Business of Madison

 

Madison is engaged in the business mineral exploration. Management is currently evaluating mineral properties with the goal of identifying a property for acquisition. To date, Madison has not identified properties that it intends to acquire and has not entered into any agreements for the acquisition of any interest in a new mineral property.

 

Madison’s viability and potential success lie in its 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 Madison 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.

 

Madison has not generated any revenue or conducted any development operations since inception.

 

Competition

 

The mineral exploration business is an extremely competitive industry. Madison is competing with many other exploration companies looking for minerals. Madison is one of the smallest exploration companies and a very small participant in the mineral exploration business. Being a junior mineral exploration company, Madison competes with other similar companies for financing and joint venture partners. Additionally, Madison competes for resources such as professional geologists, camp staff, rental equipment, and mineral exploration supplies.

 

Raw Materials

 

The raw materials for any of Madison’s exploration program will include camp equipment, hand exploration tools, sample bags, first aid supplies, groceries and propane. All of these types of materials are readily available from a variety of suppliers. If heavy machinery and qualified operators are required, Madison intends to contract the services of professional mining contractors, drillers and geologist.

 

Dependence on Major Customers

 

Madison has no customers.

 

Patents/Trade Marks/Licences/Franchises/Concessions/Royalty Agreements or Labour Contracts

 

Madison has no intellectual property such as patents or trademarks. Additionally, Madison has no royalty agreements or labor contracts.

 

Government Controls and Regulations

 

Madison’s business is subject to various levels of government controls and regulations, which are supplemented and revised from time to time. However, Madison is unable to predict what additional legislation or revisions may be proposed that might affect its business or when any such proposals, if enacted, might become effective. Such changes, however, could require increased capital and operating expenditures and could prevent or delay certain operations by Madison.

 

The various levels of government controls and regulations address, among other things, the environmental impact of mining and mineral processing operations. With respect to the regulation of mining and processing, legislation and regulations in various jurisdictions establish performance standards, air and water quality emission standards and other design or operational requirements for various components of operations, including health and safety standards. Legislation and regulations also establish requirements for decommissioning, reclamation and rehabilitation of mining properties following the cessation of operations, and may require that some former mining properties be managed for long periods of time.

 

Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws

 

Madison currently has no costs to comply with environmental laws.

(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.

 

Item 6. Selected Financial Data.

 

Madison is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this item.

 

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

THE FOLLOWING PRESENTATION OF THE PLAN OF OPERATION OF MADISON EXPLORATIONS, 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.”

 

Madison is an exploration stage company. Madison’s principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. Madison does not currently have any interest in any mineral exploration properties and is presently seeking to acquire a new mineral or oil and gas exploration property.

 

Management has decided to expand Madison’s focus and identify and assess new projects for acquisition purposes that are more global in nature. Management will continue to focus on exploring and adding value to the project interests already acquired but will also now focus on new projects on an international level.

 

Madison Explorations, Inc.Form 10-K - 2013Page 6
 

 

Plan of Operation

 

During the next 12 months management plans on acquiring an interest in a new mineral or oil and gas exploration property. Madison has minimal finances and accordingly there is no assurance that it will be able to acquire an interest in any new property. Management anticipates that Madison will have to complete additional financings in connection with the acquisition of any interest in a new property. To date, Madison has not entered into any agreements for the acquisition of any interest in a new property. Further, Madison has no arrangements for any financing required to funds our continued operations or the acquisition of any interest in a new property. Further, even if Madison is able to acquire an interest in a new property, there is no assurance that it will be able to raise the financing necessary to complete exploration of the new property. Based on Madison’s financial position, there is no assurance that Madison will be able to continue its business operations.

 

In addition, management anticipates incurring the following expenses during the next 12 month period:

 

  Management anticipates spending approximately $3,000 in ongoing general and administrative expenses per month for the next 12 months, for a total anticipated expenditure of $36,000 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 $12,000 in complying with Madison’s obligations as a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These expenses will consist primarily of professional fees relating to the preparation of Madison’s financial statements and completing its annual report, quarterly report, and current report filings with the SEC.

 

As at December 31, 2013, Madison had cash of $9,941 and a working capital deficit of $178,472. Accordingly, Madison will require additional financing in the amount of $216,531 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 property and its business plan will fail. Even if Madison is successful in obtaining equity financing and acquire an interest in a new property, additional exploration property will be required before a determination as to whether commercially exploitable mineralization or quantities of oil or gas present. If Madison does not continue to obtain additional financing, it will be forced to abandon its business and plan of operations.

 

Risk Factors

 

An investment in Madison’s Common Stock involves a number of very significant risks. Prospective investors should refer to all the risk factors disclosed in Madison’s Form 10-KSB filed on April 15, 2009.

 

Financial Condition

 

As at December 31, 2013, Madison had a cash balance of $9,941. Management does not anticipate generating any revenue for the foreseeable future. When additional funds become required, the additional funding will come from equity financing from the sale of Madison’s Common Stock. If Madison is successful in completing an equity financing, existing shareholders will experience dilution of their interest in Madison. Madison does not have any financing arranged and Madison cannot provide investors with any assurance that Madison will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of its Common Stock. In the absence of such financing, Madison’s business will fail.

 

Madison Explorations, Inc.Form 10-K - 2013Page 7
 

 

Based on the nature of Madison’s business, management anticipates incurring operating losses in the foreseeable future. Management bases this expectation, in part, on the fact that very few mineral claims in the exploration stage ultimately develop into producing, profitable mines. Madison’s future financial results are also uncertain due to a number of factors, some of which are outside its control. These factors include, but are not limited to:

 

  Madison’s ability to raise additional funding;
     
  the market price for minerals;
     
  the results of Madison’s proposed exploration programs on its exploration mineral properties; and
     
  Madison’s ability to find joint venture partners for the development of its exploration mineral properties.

 

Due to Madison’s lack of operating history and present inability to generate revenues, Madison’s auditors have stated their opinion that there currently exists a substantial doubt about Madison’s ability to continue as a going concern. Even if Madison acquires a mineral or oil and gas property and raises the necessary capital to conduct an exploration program, and it is successful in identifying a mineral deposit, Madison will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before it will know if it has a commercially viable mineral deposit or reserve.

 

Functional Currency

 

Madison’s functional currency is the United States dollar. Madison has determined that its functional currency is the United States dollar for the following reasons:

 

  Madison’s current and future financings are and will be in United States dollars;
     
  Madison maintains a majority of its cash holdings in United States dollars;
     
  a majority of Madison’s administrative expenses are undertaken in United States dollars; and
     
  all cash flows are generated in United States dollars.

 

Exploration Expenses – Canadian GAAP vs. US GAAP

 

Under Canadian GAAP, mineral properties including exploration, development and acquisition costs, may be carried at cost and charged to operations if the properties are abandoned or impaired. Under US GAAP, all expenditures relating to mineral interests prior to the completion of a definitive feasibility study, which establishes proven and probable reserves, must be expensed as incurred. Once a final feasibility study has been completed, additional costs incurred to bring a mine into production are capitalized as development costs. Madison’s audited financial statements use US GAAP.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2013, Madison had total assets of $9,941, and a working capital deficit of $$178,472, compared with a working capital deficit of $165,774 as of December 31, 2012. The increase in the working capital deficit was primarily due to an increase in notes payable and an increase in convertible notes payable. The assets consisted of $9,941 in cash and the liabilities consisted of $31,842 in accounts payable ($32,390 in 2012), $80,310 in notes payable and accrued interest ($79,542 in 2012), $76,000 in convertible notes payable ($57,250 in 2012), and $261 due to a related party.

 

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 exploration programs and its business will fail.

 

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

 

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, net cash used in operating activities increased to $22,166 compared with $27,684 for the same period in the previous fiscal year. The use of cash was primarily due to a net loss of $40,368, less a non cash interest on the convertible debt of $10,750, and an decrease of $548 in accounts payable.

 

Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities

 

Net cash provided by investing activities was $nil for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 as compared with cash flow from investing activities of $nil for the same period in the previous fiscal year.

 

Madison Explorations, Inc.Form 10-K - 2013Page 8
 

 

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

 

Net cash flows provided by financing activities decreased to $25,468 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 as compared with financing activities of $29,348 for the same period in the previous fiscal year. The net cash provided by financing activities was due to the proceeds from notes payable.

 

Results of Operation for the Period Ended December 31, 2013

 

Madison has had $144,000 in operating revenues since its inception on June 15, 1998, through to December 31, 2013, but no revenues for the past two fiscal years. Madison’s activities have been financed from the proceeds of share subscriptions and proceeds from notes payable. From its inception, on June 15, 1998, to December 31, 2013 Madison has raised a total of $113,020 from private offerings of its Common Stock.

Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations

 

Madison is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this item.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Item 7A.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Madison is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this item.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Stockholders:

Madison Explorations, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Madison Explorations, Inc. (an Exploration Stage Enterprise) as of December 31, 2013 and 2011 and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2011 and for the period from inception, June 15, 1998, to December 31, 2013. 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 audits. 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 dated March 25, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

 

We conducted our audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, based on our audits 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, 2013 and 2011 and the results of its operations and changes in equity (deficiency) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2011 and for the period from date of inception (June 15, 1998) to December 31, 2013 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2013

 

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.

 

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 interim 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, 2013, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $358,560 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 considers 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, 2013, the Company did not have any cash equivalents (2012 – $nil), and $0 was deposited in accounts that were federally insured (2012 - $53).

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued

 

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 follows the guideline under FASB ASC Topic 718 Compensation-Stock Compensation for all stock based compensation plans, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights. Stock compensation expenses are to be recorded using the fair value method.

 

e) Basic and Diluted Net Income (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.

 

f) Comprehensive Income

 

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 220 “Comprehensive Income,” 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

 

The Company 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. 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.

 

i) Financial Instruments

 

Fair Value

 

The fair value of the convertible notes payable is based on their beneficial conversion feature at the time of commitment, which requires allocation of 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 instruments 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 discounts are being amortized to income over 60 months.

 

Risks:

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued

 

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

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Item 9.Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

R. Margetson Ltd, Chartered Accountants, 210, 905 West Pender Street, Vancouver BC V6C 1L6, Canada.

 

Item 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, 2013. 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, 2013, 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 Explorations, Inc.Form 10-K - 2013Page 13
 

 

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, 2013 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, 2013, 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, 2013, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Madison’s internal control over financial reporting.

Madison’s management team is listed below.

 

Officer’s Name   Madison Explorations, Inc.   Scout Resources, Inc.
Joseph Gallo   Director and President, CEO, CFO, Treasurer, Corporate Secretary   Director and President

 

Joseph Gallo ● Mr. Gallo (54 years old) has been a director and the president of Madison since June 2007 and the CFO, treasurer, and corporate secretary of Madison since September 2011. 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”) that 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 that he had invented that 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.

 

(b) Identify Significant Employees

 

Madison has no significant employees other than the sole director and officer of Madison.

 

(c) Family Relationships

 

There are no family relationships among the directors, executive officers or persons nominated or chosen by Madison to become directors or executive officers.

 

(d) Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

  (1) No bankruptcy petition has been filed by or against any business of which any director was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time.
     
  (2) No director has been convicted in a criminal proceeding and is not subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences).

Madison Explorations, Inc.Form 10-K - 2013Page 15
 

 

(e) Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

 

Section 16(a) of the Security Exchange Act of 1934 requires directors, executive officers and 10% or greater shareholders of Madison 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 Madison. Based solely on Madison’s review of the copies of these forms received by it or representations from certain reporting persons, management believes that SEC beneficial ownership reporting requirements for fiscal 2012 were met.

 

(f) Nomination Procedure for Directors

 

Madison does not have a standing nominating committee; recommendations for candidates to stand for election as directors are made by the board of directors. Madison has not adopted a policy that permits shareholders to recommend candidates for election as directors or a process for shareholders to send communications to the board of directors.

 

(g) Audit Committee Financial Expert

 

Madison has no financial expert. Management believes the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. Madison’s Board of Directors has determined that it does not presently need an audit committee financial expert on the Board of Directors to carry out the duties of the Audit Committee. Madison’s Board of Directors has determined that the cost of hiring a financial expert to act as a director of Madison and to be a member of the Audit Committee or otherwise perform Audit Committee functions outweighs the benefits of having a financial expert on the Audit Committee.

 

(h) Identification of Audit Committee

 

Madison does not have a separately-designated standing audit committee. Rather, Madison’s entire board of directors perform the required functions of an audit committee. Currently, Joseph Gallo is the only member of Madison’s audit committee, but he does not meet Madison’s independent requirements for an audit committee member. See “Item 12. (c) Director independence” below for more information on independence.

 

Madison’s audit committee is responsible for: (1) selection and oversight of Madison’s independent accountant; (2) establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal controls and auditing matters; (3) establishing procedures for the confidential, anonymous submission by Madison’s employees of concerns regarding accounting and auditing matters; (4) engaging outside advisors; and, (5) funding for the outside auditor and any outside advisors engaged by the audit committee.

 

As of December 31, 2013, Madison did not have a written audit committee charter or similar document.

 

(i) Code of Ethics

 

Madison has adopted a financial code of ethics that applies to all its executive officers and employees, including its CEO and CFO. See Exhibit 14 – Code of Ethics for more information. Madison undertakes to provide any person with a copy of its financial code of ethics free of charge. Please contact Madison at (801) 326-0110to request a copy of Madison’s financial code of ethics. Management believes Madison’s financial code of ethics is reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct; provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in public reports; comply with applicable laws; ensure prompt internal reporting of code violations; and provide accountability for adherence to the code.

(c) Changes in Control

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

 

(a) Transactions with Related Persons

 

Since the beginning of Madison’s last fiscal year, no director, executive officer, security holder, or any immediate family of such director, executive officer, or security holder has had any direct or indirect material interest in any transaction or currently proposed transaction, which Madison was or is to be a participant, that exceeded the lesser of (1) $120,000 or (2) one percent of the average of Madison’s total assets at year-end for the last three completed fiscal years.

 

(b) Promoters and control persons

 

From July 2004 until June 2007, Kevin Stunder and Joel Haskins were promoters of Madison’s business. From June 2007 until July 2011, Joseph Gallo and Steven Cozine were promoters of Madison’s business. From July 2011 until present Joseph Gallo has been the promoter of Madison’s business None of these promoters have received anything of value from Madison nor is any person entitled to receive anything of value from Madison for services provided as a promoter of the business of Madison.

 

(c) Director independence

 

Madison’s board of directors currently consists of Joseph Gallo. 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 judgement 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. Joseph Gallo serves on Madison’s audit committee. Madison’s board of directors has determined that Mr. Gallo 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.
