MADISON TECHNOLOGIES INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2021
Note 1 Nature and Continuance of Operations
The Company was incorporated on June 15, 1998 in the State of Nevada, USA and the Company’s common shares are publicly traded on the OTC Markets OTCQB.
Up until fiscal 2014, the Company was in the business of mineral exploration. On May 28, 2014, the Company formalized an agreement whereby it purchased assets associated with a smokeless cannabis delivery system. The Company planned to develop this system for commercial purposes. On December 14, 2014, this asset purchase agreement was terminated.
On September 16, 2016, the Company entered into an exclusive distribution product license agreement with Tuffy Packs, LLC to distribute products into the United Kingdom and 43 other essentially European countries. The Company Soled ballistic panels which are personal body armors, that conform to the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Level IIIA threat requirements. The Company’s plan of operations and sales strategy included online and social media marketing, as well as attending various tradeshows and conferences. As the Company failed to make specified payments as required, the agreement was amended to a non-exclusive basis. The Company has closed this business.
On July 17, 2020, the Company entered into an acquisition agreement to acquire the Casa Zeta-Jones Brand License Agreement from Luxurie Legs, LLC of Delaware (“Luxurie”). Luxurie transferred all its rights, title and interest in the License Agreement to the Company in exchange for the Company’s newly issued preferred convertible Series A stock. Upon conversion, the stock could control up to 95% of the outstanding common shares. The agreement also required voting control, represented by newly issued shares of super voting preferred Series B stock.
On September 28, 2020, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement to acquire 51% interest of Posto Del Sole Inc., a jewelry designer company to further develop the Company’s existing brands and create new designer labels. The title and rights will be transferred when all the terms and conditions in the Securities Exchange Agreement are met. At December 31, 2020, the share exchange had not closed and advances made to Posto Del Sole Inc. were expensed. The Company has rescinded the agreement.
On February 16, 2021, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement to acquire 100% interest of Sovryn Holdings Inc. by issuing 1,000 Preferred Series E shares, making Sovryn Holdings Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. At the same time, the Company settled all debts including loans, convertible notes and accrued interests by issuing 230,000 Preferred Series D shares.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, the Company incorporated CZJ License, Inc. in the State of Nevada, and transferred all the Casa Zeta-Jones Brand License and operations into the subsidiary. The Preferred Series A shares were cancelled. Holders of Preferred Series A received option agreements to purchase shares of CZJ License, Inc. at $10 per share to a maximum of 300,000 shares. The option agreements are exercisable for a period of one year.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States or “US GAAP” 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 consolidated interim 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. The Company had not yet achieved profitable operations, had a working capital of $14,843,515 and had accumulated losses of $2,341,219 since its inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which casts 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. The Company entered into a number of agreements that provided financing. That said, there is no assurance that the businesses being funded by this additional debt will ultimately be successful.

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of presentation
While the information presented is unaudited, it includes all adjustments, which are, in our opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, result of operations and cashflows for the interim period presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s December 31, 2020 annual financial statements. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the period ended December 31, 2021.
The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its two wholly owned subsidiaries, CZJ License, Inc. and Sovryn Holdings, Inc.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes its best estimate of the ultimate outcome for these items based on historical trends and other information available when the financial statements are prepared. Changes in estimates are recognized in accordance with the accounting rules for the estimate, which is typically in the period when new information becomes available to management. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Change in significant accounting policies
There has been no change in the accounting policies from those disclosed in the notes to the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Recently Issued 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. On August 5, 2020, the FASB issued a new standard (ASU 2020-06) to reduce the complexity of accounting for convertible debt. The standard is effective for Smaller Reporting Companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Management is reviewing this standard as it believes this may impact on its financial reporting Management does not believe that other any pronouncement not yet effective but recently issued would, if adopted, have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Note 4 License Agreements
A. | The Company entered into an exclusive product license agreement on September 16, 2016 with Tuffy Packs, LLC, a Texas corporation, to sell Ballistic Panels in certain countries, essentially in Europe.

As a result of the failure to make payments as required under the agreement, the Company was informed on March 20, 2017, that going forward, the agreement would be on a non-exclusive basis. During the period ended March 31, 2021, the Company has terminated the business.
B. | On July 17, 2020, the Company entered into an acquisition agreement with Luxurie Legs, LLC, a Delaware corporation, to acquire the Casa Zeta-Jones Brand license agreement. The license agreement, as amended, grants the Company the worldwide rights to promote and sell certain products, and license the rights to manufacture, promote and sell such products under the brand Casa Zeta-Jones and more.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
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. We expect we will require additional capital to meet our long term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through, among other things, the sale of equity or debt securities.
Three months ended March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased by $491,829, or 98.8%, to $496,829 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $5,732 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily the result of increased developments and operations from our businesses and due diligence for our recent asset purchases.
Amortized Interest
Amortized Interest increased by $133,200, or 100%, to $133,200 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily the result of amortized interest from discounts of convertible notes payable to fund our operations.

We will require additional capital to meet our long-term operating requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through the sale of equity and/or debt securities; however, there is no assurance that we will be successful at raising additional capital in the future. If our plans are not achieved and/or if significant unanticipated events occur, we may have to further modify our business plan, which may require us to raise additional capital. As of March 31, 2021, our principal source of liquidity was our cash, which totaled $14,412,892 and additional loans and accrued unreimbursed expenses from related parties. Historically, our principal sources of cash have included proceeds from the sale of common stock and preferred stock and related party loans. Our principal uses of cash have included cash used in operations. We expect that the principal uses of cash in the future will be for continuing operations, funding of research and development, including our clinical trials, and general working capital requirements.
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
Madison used cash of $1,136,599 in operating activities during the first three months of fiscal 2021 compared to cash used of $14,504 in operating activities during the same period in the previous fiscal year.

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 the consolidated interim financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management makes its best estimate of the ultimate outcome for these items based on historical trends and other information available when the financial statements are prepared. Changes in estimates are recognized in accordance with the accounting rules for the estimate, which is typically in the period when new information becomes available to management. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Change in significant accounting policies
There has been no change in the accounting policies from those disclosed in the notes to the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Recently Issued 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. On August 5, 2020, the FASB issued a new standard (ASU 2020-06) to reduce the complexity of accounting for convertible debt. The standard is effective for Smaller Reporting Companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Management is reviewing this standard as it believes this may impact on its financial reporting Management does not believe that other any pronouncement not yet effective but recently issued would, if adopted, have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

ITEM 3. 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.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In connection with the preparation of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, 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 March 31, 2021. 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.
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.
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.
-24- |
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on Madison’s board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (3) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (4) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by Madison’s Chief Financial Officer in connection with the audit of its financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and communicated the matters to management.
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.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
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 March 31, 2021, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Madison’s internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
Management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that Madison’s controls and procedures will prevent all potential error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On February 17, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with funds affiliated with Arena Investors LP (the “Investors”) pursuant to which we pursuant to which it issued convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount of $16.5 million for an aggregate purchase price of $15 million (collectively, the “Notes”). In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company issued to the Investors warrants to purchase an aggregate of 192,073,017 shares of Common Stock (collectively, the “Warrants”) and 1,000 shares of series F convertible preferred stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock”).
The Notes each have a term of thirty-six months and mature on February 17, 2023, unless earlier converted. The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 11% per annum, subject to increase to 20% per annum upon and during the occurrence of an event of default. Interest is payable in cash on a quarterly basis beginning on March 31, 2021. Notwithstanding the above, at the Company’s election, any interest payable on an applicable payment date may be paid in registered Common Stock of the Company (rather than cash) in an amount equal (A) the amount of the interest payment due on such date, divided by (B) an amount equal to 80% of the average VWAP of the Common Stock for the five (5) days immediately preceding the date of conversion.
The Notes are convertible at any time, at the holder’s option, into shares of our common stock equal to the lesser of: (i) the amount determined by dividing (A) $50,000,000, by (B) the total number of shares of preferred stock, Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents outstanding on such Conversion Date (assuming full conversion or exercise of all then issued and outstanding securities of the Company that are exercisable for or convertible into such equity securities of the Company) and (ii) $1.00, subject to adjustment herein (the “Conversion Price”), subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations (with a maximum ownership limit of 9.99%). The conversion price is also subject to adjustment due to certain events, including stock dividends, stock splits and in connection with the issuance by the Company of common stock or common stock equivalents at an effective price per share lower than the conversion price then in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Conversion Price in effect shall be equal to 75% of the average VWAP of the Common Stock for the five (5) Trading Days on the Trading Market immediately preceding the date of conversion (the Alternative Conversion Price”); provided, however, that the Alternate Conversion Price may not exceed $0.015 per share, as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Notes. The conversion price is also subject to adjustment due to certain events, including stock dividends, stock splits and in connection with the issuance by the Company of common stock or common stock equivalents at an effective price per share lower than the conversion price then in effect. The Notes may not be redeemed by the Company.
As part of the agreement with Arena, the Company issued 192,073,016 warrants. Each Warrant is exercisable for a period of five (5) years from the date of issuance at an initial exercise price to (i) 125%, times (ii) the amount determined by dividing (A) $50,000,000, by (B) the total number of shares of preferred stock, Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents outstanding on such Conversion Date (assuming full conversion or exercise of all then issued and outstanding securities of the Company that are exercisable for or convertible into such equity securities of the Company), subject to adjustment herein, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations (with a maximum ownership limit of 9.99%). The exercise price is also subject to adjustment due to certain events, including stock dividends, stock splits and recapitalizations.
The Series F Preferred Stock have no voting rights and shall convert into 4.9% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis upon Shareholder Approval. The Series F Preferred Stock was issued but not converted to common shares as of the date of this report.

Each of the Investors have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to exercise the Warrants and convert the Notes such that the number of shares of the Company common stock held by each of them and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 9.99% of the Company’s then issued and outstanding shares of common stock.
