Business of Madison
On September16, 2016, Madison was granted the exclusive rights to distribute Tuffy Pack’s product line pursuant to the terms and conditions of a product license agreement. See Exhibit 10.5 - Product License Agreement for more details.
Madison currently sells the Tuffy Pack product line in the UK and the European Union through its Amazon and Ebay stores and is currently actively looking to increase its product line of personal protection wear.
Product and Services
Tuffy Packs manufactures a line of custom inserts that provide a level of personal protection from ballistic threats similar to what law enforcement officers wear daily as bullet proof vests. The Tuffy Pack, LLC Ballistic Shields® conform to the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Level IIIA threat requirements. NIJ is the research, development and evaluation agency of the U.S. Department of Justice. NIJ Standard–0101.06, “Ballistic Resistance of Body Armor,” is a minimum performance standard developed in collaboration with the Office of Law Enforcement Standards (OLES) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It is produced as part of the Standards and Testing Program of the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice. This standard is a technical document that specifies the minimum performance requirements that equipment must meet to satisfy the requirements of criminal justice agencies and the methods that shall be used to test this performance. This standard is used by the NIJ Voluntary Compliance Testing Program (CTP) to determine which body armor models meet the minimum performance requirements for inclusion on the NIJ Compliant Products List.
Madison Technologies Inc. | Form 10-K - 2018 | Page 4 |
Personal body armor covered by this standard is classified into five types (IIA, II, IIIA, III, IV) by level of ballistic performance. In addition, a special test class is defined to allow armor to be validated against threats that may not be covered by the five standard classes. The classification for the Tuffy Pack product line states;
2.3 Type IIIA (.357 SIG; .44 Magnum) Type IIIA armor that is new and unworn shall be tested with .357 SIG FMJ Flat Nose (FN) bullets with a specified mass of 8.1 g (125 gr) and a velocity of 448 m/s ± 9.1 m/s (1470 ft/s ± 30 ft/s) and with .44 Magnum Semi Jacketed Hollow Point (SJHP) bullets with a specified mass of 15.6 g (240 gr) and a velocity of 436 m/s ± 9.1 m/s (1430 ft/s ± 30 ft/s). Type IIIA armor that has been conditioned shall be tested with .357 SIG FMJ FN bullets with a specified mass of 8.1 g (125 gr) and a velocity of 430 m/s ± 9.1 m/s (1410 ft/s ± 30 ft/s) and with .44 Magnum SJHP bullets with a specified mass of 15.6 g (240 gr) and a velocity of 408 m/s ± 9.1 m/s (1340 ft/s ± 30 ft/s).
The ballistic shields (collectively, the “Licensed Products”) when inserted into backpacks, briefcases or computer bags will provide the highest level of protection currently available as lightweight concealable body armor. Backpacks with ballistic protection weigh only 16 – 24 ounces more than a non-protected pack (based on the pack size).
● 11 x 14 Ballistic Shield
● 12 x 16 Ballistic Shield
● 12 x 18 Ballistic Shield

Markets
Madison sales strategy is to develop online exposure through the use of social media marketing and sending demo packs of the Licensed Products to both online bloggers and established gun owner clubs. The demo packs will include both new products as well as examples of the products that have been tested and exposed to gunfire.
Madison also intends to attend European tradeshows and exhibits, including, but not limited to, IDEF (International Defense Industry Fair), ITEC, and GREC (General Police Equipment & Exhibition Conference). These trade shows will assist in introducing the Licensed Products to wholesalers in an attempt to expand Madison’s sales channel.
Distribution Methods
Madison’s distribution method is to deliver the Licensed Products into the European and UK retail and wholesale markets via the use of online market and fulfillment services including but not limited to Amazon.eu, Ebay Redstag and MCS Fulfillment. By implementing these companies’ services Madison will be able to establish a reliable supply chain that will receive delivery of the Licensed Products, warehouse the Licensed Products, package the Licensed Package as per each customer order, and ship the Licensed Products to the customer efficiently and cost effectively.
Management expects to expand Madison’s sales distribution strategy beginning in May 2019 and to be operational by September 2019, this includes the following components:
1. Initial inventory with an estimated cost of $10,000
2. Social media and online advertising of $10,000
Status of Licensed Products
The Licensed Products will be supplied exclusively by Tuffy Packs, LLC. Tuffy Packs, LLC already has an established supply chain and is able to supply up to 10,000 units per month. Management believes this monthly supply of Licensed Products will be sufficient for Madison’s anticipated inventory requirements.
Competitive Conditions
Madison will be competing with other online retail companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities than Madison in connection with the sale of similar products. Many of the competitors have a very diverse portfolio and have not confined their market to one product or line of products, but offer a wide array of products. All of these competitors have been in business for longer than Madison and may have established more strategic partnerships and relationships than Madison.
Management believes that it will have a competitive advantage over its competitors due to its plan of operations.
Madison has identified numerous body armor and bullet proof inserts available from a variety of online and offline merchants, and although most offer international shipping to the United Kingdom and Western Europe, the high cost of shipping and long delays in delivery makes purchasing from a US based retailer unattractive. Management believes that by establishing relationships with fulfillment companies and having stock on hand in its distribution territories Madison will have a competitive advantage in the ability to fill orders and deliver the Licensed Products to its customers quickly which will develop buyer loyalty.
Madison has also identified several online retailers that are located in either the UK or Europe that supply products that management believes would be in direct competition with Madison’s business. Some of those competitors include, but not limited to, the following:
● | Vestgaurd - a UK based supplies the very best in British manufactured ballistic protection systems for personal and vehicle protection to the public and private sectors. | |
● | Mars Armor - a Bulgarian company specialized in the manufacture of body armor for protection against bullets, fragments and cold steel. | |
● | Spycatcher Online - a UK based supplier of specialist surveillance, counter-surveillance and personal protection equipment to the professional and consumer market. | |
● | Jack Ellis Body Protection - a UK based manufacturer in the personal protection market with clients including - UK and Foreign government organizations, special forces, police, prisons, private security and media. |

Raw Materials and Equipment
Madison does not require raw materials as Madison will purchase all the Licensed Products directly from Tuffy Packs. Madison will require equipment related to online retailing including but not limited to the use of URL’s for its online stores, warehousing facilities (leased on a month to month basis), software systems for inventory control and order fulfilment (leased on a month to month basis)

Governmental and Industry Regulations
Madison will be subject to federal and state laws and regulations that relate directly or indirectly to its operations including federal securities laws. Madison will also be subject to common business and tax rules and regulations pertaining to the operation of its business.
For the most part, the distribution of the Licensed Products into Europe is unregulated. In Europe, the import and sale of ballistic vests and body armor products are allowed, with the exception of products that are developed under strict military specifications and/or for main military usage, or products above the level of protection NIJ 4, which are considered by the law as “armament materials” and, and as a result, prohibited for sale to civilians.
In the United Kingdom there are currently no legal restrictions on the import and sale of ballistic vests and body armor products, except, as similar to the Europe regulations, any products which are considered for main military usage.
Research and Development Activities and Costs
Madison has not spent any funds on research and development activities to date.
Compliance with Environmental Laws
Madison’s current operations are not subject to any environmental laws.
Facilities

(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.

Results of Operation for the Period Ended December 31, 2018
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, we incurred net losses of $53,906, compared to our net losses in fiscal 2017 of $53,273. Our losses in the current fiscal year were slightly higher due to higher general and administrative expenses that we incurred in connection with our preparation and filings.
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to complete our proposed business plan. For these reasons our auditors believe that there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2018, Madison had total assets of $5,543, and a working capital deficit of $366,114, compared with a working capital deficit of $394,968 as of December 31, 2017. The decrease in the working capital deficit was primarily due to two convertibles notes totaling $35,000 being converted into common stock. The assets consisted of $2,543 in cash and $3,000 in prepaid expenses. The liabilities consisted of $48,169 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities ($45,394 in 2017), $33,500 in license fee payable ($33,500 in 2017), $126,498 in notes payable and accrued interest ($123,094 in 2017), $163,000 in convertible notes payable to third parties ($196,000 in 2017), and $490 in convertible notes payable to a related party $261 in advances in 2017).
There are no assurances that Madison will be able to achieve further sales of its Common Stock or any other form of additional financing. If Madison is unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue its plan of operations, then Madison will not be able to continue its plan of operations and its business will fail.
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, net cash used in operating activities increased to $32,967 compared with $10,978 for the same period in the previous fiscal year. The use of cash was primarily due to a net loss of $53,906 less non-cash items of interest on the convertible debt of $6,135, amortization of license of $17,760 and, the increase in accounts payable and accruals. Gain on the foreign exchange on notes payable and the balance in prepaid expenses were factors in increasing the cash used in operations.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
The Company did not invest any cash in investing activities in either the year ending December 31, 2018 or 2017.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash flows provided by financing activities was $32,290 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 as compared with financing activities of $nil for the same period in the previous fiscal year. The net cash provided by financing activities was due to the proceeds from convertible notes payable, small advances from related party and shares subscribed but not issued.
Plan of Operation
Madison’s plan of operation for the next 12 months is to deliver the Licensed Products into the European and UK retail and wholesale markets via the use of online market and fulfilment services including but not limited to Amazon.eu, Redstag and MCS Fulfilment. By implementing these companies’ services Madison will be able to establish a reliable supply chain that will receive delivery of the Licensed Products, warehouse the Licensed Products, package the Licensed Package as per each customer order, and ship the Licensed Products to the customer efficiently and cost effectively.
Madison Technologies Inc. | Form 10-K - 2018 | Page 13 |
Management expects to expand Madison’s sales distribution strategy beginning in May 2019 and to be operational by September 2019, this includes the following components:
1. Initial inventory with an estimated cost of $10,000
2. Social media and online advertising of $10,000
3. Payments to be made under Product License Agreement of $33,500
Madison sales strategy is to develop online exposure through the use of social media marketing and sending demo packs of the Licensed Products to both online bloggers and established gun owner clubs. The demo packs will include both new products as well as examples of the products that have been tested and exposed to gunfire to demonstrate the products effectiveness.
In addition to the costs associated to Madison’s sales and distribution strategy, management anticipates incurring the following expenses during the next 12 month period:
● | Management anticipates spending approximately $2,500 in ongoing general and administrative expenses per month for the next 12 months, for a total anticipated expenditure of $30,000 over the next 12 months. The general and administrative expenses for the year will consist primarily of professional fees for the audit and legal work relating to Madison’s regulatory filings throughout the year, as well as transfer agent fees, annual mineral claim fees and general office expenses. | |
● | Management anticipates spending approximately $15,000 in complying with Madison’s obligations as a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and as a reporting issuer in Canada. These expenses will consist primarily of professional fees relating to the preparation of Madison’s financial statements and completing and filing its annual report, quarterly report, and current report filings with the SEC and with SEDAR in Canada. |
As at December 31, 2018, Madison had cash of $2,543 and a working capital deficit of $366,114. Accordingly, Madison will require additional financing in the amount of $405,571 in order to fund its obligations as a reporting company under the Securities Act of 1934 and its general and administrative expenses for the next 12 months.
During the 12 month period following the date of this annual report, management anticipates that Madison will not generate any revenue. Accordingly, Madison will be required to obtain additional financing in order to continue its plan of operations. Management believes that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding Madison’s plan of operations as it does not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing. Rather, management anticipates that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of Madison’s Common Stock. However, Madison does not have any financing arranged and cannot provide investors with any assurance that it will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of its Common Stock to fund its plan of operations. In the absence of such financing, Madison will not be able to acquire any interest in a new technology and its business plan will fail. Even if Madison is successful in obtaining equity financing and acquire an interest in a new technology, additional research and development will be required before a determination as to whether the technology will be commercially viable. If Madison does not continue to obtain additional financing, it will be forced to abandon its business and plan of operations.
Purchase of Significant Equipment
We do not intend to purchase any significant equipment during the next 12 months.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Madison has no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would affect its liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.
Material Commitments for Capital Expenditures
Madison had no contingencies or long-term commitments at December 31, 2018.
Madison Technologies Inc. | Form 10-K - 2018 | Page 14 |
Going Concern
The independent auditors’ report accompanying our December 31, 2018 and 2017 financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates that we will realize our assets and satisfy our liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.
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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Madison Technologies Inc.
Opinion on the financial statements
I have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Madison Technologies Inc. as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the two years then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements’). In my opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2018 and 2017 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audits. My company is a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and is required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
I conducted my audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that I plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. My audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. My audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred operating losses since inception, 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 THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Audited)
December 31, 2018
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.
On January 21, 2015, a majority of the Company’s stockholders approved a consolidation of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, on a 10 for 1 basis, thereby decreasing the issued and outstanding share capital from 113,020,000 to 11,302,000. These financial statements give retroactive effect to this change.
Effective December 31, 2016, the Company dissolved its wholly owned subsidiary, Scout Resources Inc. (“Scout”) and assumed all the debt that Scout owed.
Up until fiscal 2014, the Company was in the business of mineral exploration. On May 28, 2014, the Company formalized an agreement whereby it purchased assets associated with a smokeless cannabis delivery system. The Company planned to develop this system for commercial purposes. On December 14, 2014, the smokeless cannabis delivery agreement was terminated.
On September 16, 2016, the Company entered into an exclusive distribution product license agreement with Tuffy Packs, LLC to distribute products into the United Kingdom and 43 other essentially European countries. The Company is selling ballistic panels which are personal body armors, that conforms to the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Level IIIA threat requirements. The Company’s plan of operations and sales strategy include online and social media marketing, as well as attending various tradeshows and conferences. As the Company failed to make specified payments as required, the agreement was amended to a non-exclusive basis.
On March 11, 2015, the Company changed its name from Madison Explorations, Inc. to Madison Technologies Inc. and effected the stock consolidation.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes that the Company will be able to meet its obligations and continue its operations for its next twelve months. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and these financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. At December 31, 2018, the Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, has accumulated losses of $532,016 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. That said, there is no assurance of additional funding being available.
Madison Technologies Inc. | Form 10-K - 2018 | Page 23 |
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, 2018, the Company did not have any cash equivalents in 2018. (2017 – $nil).
c) Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when a contract is in place, goods or services 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. No stock options have been issued.
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 Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, for all financial instruments and non-financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. This accounting standard establishes a single definition of fair value and a framework for measuring fair value, sets out a fair value hierarchy to be used to classify the source of information used in fair value measurement and expands disclosures about fair value measurements required under other accounting pronouncements. 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.
Madison Technologies Inc. | Form 10-K - 2018 | Page 24 |
i) Financial Instruments and correction of error in previously issued financial statements
Fair Value
The Company’s financial instruments consisting of cash, account payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable and accrued interest and related party advances are carried at face which approximates fair value because of their short-term nature.
During the year ended 2017, the Company changed the accounting policy by which it accounts for its convertible debt. Previously, the Company based its policy on the fact that the promissory notes have been issued without an interest component and, assuming the reason for investing is the pursuit of profit, the total value of these instruments had been allocated to the equity component as this is the only logical reason for investment. Promissory note issuances were included in additional paid-in capital and were amortized and charged to interest on an effective interest rate basis.
During the year, the Company corrected this policy and adopted FASB ASC Topic 470, “Debt with Conversions and Other Options,” which requires that convertible debt with no beneficial conversion feature be allocated in totality to debt and that no amount be allocated to equity. This change has been applied retroactively to the financial statements and the effect on the financial statements is described in Note 8. None of the Company’s convertible notes had a beneficial conversion feature.
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 resented 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 now dissolved wholly owned subsidiary was Canadian dollars. The assets and liabilities arising from these operations were translated at current exchange rates and related revenues and expenses at the exchange rates in effect at the time the revenue or expense was incurred. Resulting translation adjustments, if material, were accumulated as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of stockholders’ deficit.
m) Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are non-monetary identifiable assets, controlled by the Company that will produce future economic benefits, based on reasonable and supportable assumptions about conditions that will exist over the life of the asset. An intangible asset that does not meet these attributes will be recognized as an expense when it is incurred. Intangible assets that do, are capitalized and initially measured at cost. Those with a determinable life will be amortized on a systematic basis over their future economic life. Those with an indefinite useful life shall not be amortized until its useful life is determined to be longer indefinite. An intangible assets subject to amortization shall be periodically reviewed for impairment. A recoverability test will be performed and, if applicable, unscheduled amortization is considered.
A license agreement has been capitalized and recorded at cost. It has been amortized over the life of the contract, which is two years.
n) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company adopts new pronouncements relating to generally accepted accounting principles applicable to the Company as they are issued, which may be in advance of their effective date. Management does not believe that any pronouncement not yet effective but recently issued would, if adopted, have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
Note 3 License Agreement
The Company entered into an exclusive product license agreement on September 16, 2016 with Tuffy Packs, LLC, a Texas corporation, to sell Ballistic Panels in certain countries, essentially in Europe. The license is for a period of two years unless terminated and may be renewed for successive terms of two years each. The payment terms for the license is as follows:
1. | $10,000 payable within seven days after the effective date; | |
2. | An additional $15,000 payable within 30 days after the effective date; and | |
3. | A final payment of $25,000 payable within 90 days of the effective date. |

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
There are no changes in and disagreements with Madison’s accountants on accounting and financial disclosure. Madison’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm since January 31, 2009 has been K. R. Margetson Ltd, Chartered Professional Accountant, 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, 2018. 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, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control –Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). As a result of this assessment, management identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of Madison’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Madison Technologies Inc. | Form 10-K - 2018 | Page 30 |
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, 2018 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, 2018, 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, 2018, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Madison’s internal control over financial reporting.

(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). | |
(3) | No director has been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities. | |

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 2018 were met.
Madison Technologies Inc. | Form 10-K - 2018 | Page 32 |
(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 performs the required functions of an audit committee. Currently, Thomas Brady 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, 2018, Madison did not have a written audit committee charter or similar document.
(i) Code of Ethics

(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 judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, and includes any director who accepted any compensation from Madison in excess of $200,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months with the three past fiscal years. Also, the ownership of Madison’s stock will not preclude a director from being independent.
In applying this definition, Madison’s board of directors has determined that Mr. Gallo does not qualify as an “independent director” pursuant to Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Manual.
As of the date of the report, Madison did not maintain a separately designated compensation or nominating committee. Madison has also adopted this definition for the independence of the members of its audit committee. 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.
