We are exploring more capital efficient and technology centric alternatives to its planned station acquisition distribution platform. While there is no guarantee that we will be successful with this alternative approach, we have determined that we will postpone further capital expenditures on acquisitions and as a result, the planned acquisitions of W27EB-Chicago, KPHE-Phoenix, KVSD-San Diego, WANN-Atlanta and KDTL-St. Louis stations have been terminated and future acquisition plans have been put on hold while we evaluate this alternative approach.
As the cornerstone of our new strategy, we formed a new vertical and have embarked on a buildout of a news and entertainment network, Blockchain TV (“BCTV”) dedicated to cryptocurrency, NFT, Web3 and blockchain technology which we expect to launch in the coming months. On February 15, 2022, we entered into an agreement with TMG, Inc., a Canada-based television production firm to produce, manage and operate the television network and have since hired and engaged a number of blockchain news and entertainment personalities as anchors and hosts.
Through our relationship with TMG, Inc., we plan to produce, manage and operate proprietary content that will be broadcast and streamed 24/7 as “BCTV” on our OTA platform, APP and website and through third party broadcasters, cable television operators, alternative video distribution platforms such as YouTube, Roku, Pluto and xumo. The live content is designed and modeled after “Squawk Box” with anchors, Bobby Del Rio, Catherine Murray and Ruth O’Neill, bringing viewers live, hourly shows on what is happening in the crypto space, NFT, Web3 and the Metaverse marketplace. BCTV plans to go “live” with its network in the third quarter of 2022. Our primary revenue sources for BCTV will be advertising and sponsorship revenues.
We seek to complete our acquisition of Top Dog Productions, Inc., a Los Angeles based television production company founded and operated by this standardAward-winning producers Jay Blumenfield and Tony Marsh. Their studio team will continue creating and developing shows for third party networks as well proprietary content for BCTV. One example is classifiedtheir creation of an unscripted series, “Woke up Rich”, that details rags to riches story of individuals who got involved in crypto.
We plan to derive additional programming content by aggregating the world’s top influencers in the space, bringing larger than life personalities to the screen and elevating their viral content into five types (IIA, II, IIIA, III, IV) by levellong and short-form programing that we push out on all platforms from social media to broadcast television. We envision airing gaming content with viewers enabled to play along interactively and be rewarded with real world and meta world prizes.
We registered the trademark “BLOCKCHAIN.TV Power 100” and we are compiling a list of ballistic performance. In addition,the top 100 most influential people and companies in the blockchain space around the world that we plan to use as a source for interviews that we incorporate in a daily show. Our programming content plans include Blockchain Awards Shows for NFT, Crypto and Metaverse.
We plan to livestream our content globally with game center technology from studios in New York City, Miami and Niagara Fall, Canada. Blockchain Entertainment will create and develop special test class is definedevents and conferences including opportunities around education.
We see the opportunity to allow armoruse BLOCKCHAIN.TV to be validated against threats that may not be covered bygenerate another revenue stream through e-commerce opportunities in Community NFT, Metaverse and crypto services.
Station Operations
Each licensed TV station has the five standard classes. The classificationcapability of delivering 10+ different TV channels of content Over-the-Air, 24 hours per day/7 days per week. If converted to the new FCC approved ATSC 3.0 technology, the streaming capacity will increase to 25+ channels or more, giving us the potential to stream content upon completion of the roll-up to over 2500 channels aggregated over expected 100 stations.
We operate the stations remotely and centrally, eliminating the need for in-market personnel or a studio facility. Remote operations of stations results in significant cost efficiencies. Recent FCC deregulation in TV broadcasting has eliminated the Tuffy Pack product line states;need for full time employees and studio facilities operating Class A and Low Power stations allowing for greater cost efficiency.

MarketsNew Broadcast TV Technology
Madison sales strategyIn 2017, the FCC approved ATSC 3.0 technology, a next generation broadcast platform that will bring new revenue opportunities to broadcast television. ATSC 3.0 is an enhancement to develop online exposure through the useprevious standard, providing new opportunities such as increased capacity, mobility and addressability allowing for customizable content, viewer measurability, target advertising and internet connectivity. All these features and more will be available on mobile devices allowing for broadcast operators to capitalize on audiences traditionally reserved for telecom operators.
Competitive Conditions
Our broadcast stations will face competition from other free over-the-air television and radio stations, telecommunication companies, cable and satellite providers, print media providers, internet and other emerging technologies. Some of social media marketingour current and sending demo packs of the Licensed Productspotential competitors have greater resources and access 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 exposedcapital. If we need to gunfire.
Madison also intends to attend European tradeshows and exhibits, including, butobtain additional funding, we may 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, Redstag and MCS Fulfillment. By implementing these companies’ services Madison will be able to establishobtain such capital on favorable terms and be forced to delay its development as a reliable supply chainresult. Furthermore, technological advancements and the resulting increase in programming alternatives may increase competition for household audiences.
Our BCTV content will compete for viewership in a marketplace that will receive delivery ofis fragmented and niche. Major media organizations such as Bloomberg and Comcast, which operates CNBC and MSNBC, deliver content about crypto, NFT, Web3 and 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 2018 and to be operational by September 2018, 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 competitorsmetaverse, but none have a very diverse portfolio and have not confined their marketdedicated source for viewers 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.continuously consume that content.
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:
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)
Principal Suppliers
At present Madison will rely solely on Tuffy Packs to provide all its principal supplies.
Dependence on Customers
Currently, Madison iswe are not and will not be dependent on one or a few major customers. Our business is designed to generate revenue from four primary categories of customers: (1) advertisers and sponsors of our BCTV content that airs on our OTA platform, APP and website and through third party broadcasters, cable television operators, alternative video distribution platforms such as YouTube, Roku, Pluto and xumo; (2) people who view our BCTV content, and form the audience that attracts advertisers and sponsors; (3) people who interact with our content either as viewers or as attendees as BLOCKCHAIN.TV branded events; and (4) third party networks that lease channels on our OTA platform.
Technology and Intellectual Property
Madison doesExcept for the trademark “BLOCKCHAIN.TV Power 100”, we do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patents or trademarks.
Governmental and Industry Regulations
MadisonBroadcast licenses are issued by and subject to the jurisdiction of the FCC, pursuant to the Communications Act of 1934. The FCC regulates our broadcasting business and has the authority to issue, renew, revoke and modify broadcast licenses and impose penalties for the violation of its regulations. We must often obtain the FCC’s approval to obtain, renew, assign or modify a license, purchase a new station or sell an existing station. Our FCC license for KVVV is due for renewal on August 1, 2022, our licenses for KNLA and KNET are due for renewal on December 1, 2022 and our license for KYMU is due for renewal on February 1, 2023. The FCC licenses are critical to the operations and we cannot operate without them. We cannot be certain that the FCC will renew these licenses in the future if acquired or approve new acquisitions in a timely manner. If licenses are not renewed or acquisitions are not approved, we may lose revenue that we could otherwise have earned and this would have an adverse effect on the overall business and financial condition.
We 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.
Madison Technologies Inc. | Form 10-K - 2021 | Page 10 |
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.

Our business involves significant risks, some of which are described below. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risk and uncertainties that we are unaware of or that we deem immaterial may also become important factors that adversely affect our business. The realization of any of these risks and uncertainties could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations, growth and future prospects as well as our ability to accomplish our strategic objectives. In that event, the market price of our common stock could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Business
We have a history of losses. We have not been profitable historically and may not achieve or maintain profitability in the future.
We have a history of losses. Our ability to forecast our future operating results is subject to a number of uncertainties, including our ability to plan for and model future growth. We have encountered and will continue to encounter risks and uncertainties frequently experienced by growing companies in rapidly evolving industries. If our assumptions regarding these uncertainties, which we use to plan our business, are incorrect or change in reaction to changes in our markets, or if we do not address these risks successfully, our operating and financial results could differ materially from expectations, our business could suffer and the trading price of our stock may decline.
We have incurred net losses of $14.3 million and $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, we had accumulated deficit of $15.7 million.
We are not certain whether or when we will obtain a high enough volume of sales of our products and services to sustain or increase our growth or achieve or maintain profitability in the future. We expect our costs to increase in future periods, which could negatively affect our future operating results if our revenue does not increase. In particular, we expect to continue to expend substantial financial and other resources on:
● | content production related to our network operations, including investments in expanding our content and production teams; |
Madison Technologies Inc. | Form 10-K - 2021 | Page 11 |
● | sales and marketing, including a significant expansion of our sales organization; |
● | continued expansion of our business into adjacent geographic markets; and |
● | general administration expenses, including legal and accounting expenses related to being a public company. |
These investments may not result in increased revenue or growth in our business. If we are unable to increase our revenue at a rate sufficient to offset the expected increase in our costs, our business, financial position and results of operations will be harmed, and we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability over the long term. Additionally, we may encounter unforeseen operating expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may result in losses in future periods. If our revenue growth does not meet our expectations in future periods, our financial performance may be harmed, and we may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability in the future.
We incurred debt in connection with our acquisitions of television station assets which could adversely affect our financial condition and restrict our operating flexibility.
In connection with our acquisitions of the Los Angeles Stations, the Houston Station and the Seattle Station completed in 2021, we issued $16.5 million in convertible notes to Arena Investors LP. The convertible notes require us to make quarterly interest payments, based on a fixed 11.0% interest rate interest, of approximately $0.4 million that commenced March 31, 2021 with a pro-rated payment of $0.2 million. The notes are convertible at any time, at the option of Arena Investors LP, into shares of our Common Stock at a price of $0.02, subject to adjustment (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 our issuance 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 volume weighted average price of our 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. We man not redeem the Notes. The convertible notes are secured by substantially all of our assets.
The convertible notes include negative covenants that restrict our ability to, among other things: incur additional indebtedness; create liens or other encumbrances on assets; make loans, guarantees, investments and acquisitions; sell or otherwise dispose of assets; cause or permit a change of control; merge or consolidate with another entity; make negative pledges; enter into affiliate transactions; make cash distributions to our stockholders; and change the nature of our business materially.
Outstanding amounts under the convertible notes may be accelerated by Arena Investors LP upon the occurrence and continuance of certain events of default, including without limitation: payment defaults; breach of covenants beyond applicable grace periods; breach of representations and warranties; bankruptcy and insolvency defaults; and the occurrence of a material adverse effect (as defined). Acceleration is automatic upon the occurrence of certain bankruptcy and insolvency defaults.
The convertible notes and related obligations, including interest payments, covenants and restrictions, could have important consequences, including the following:
reserving cash in order to satisfy the obligations relating to the convertible notes could adversely affect the amount or timing of investments to grow our business, impairing our ability to invest in and successfully grow our business; |
the convertible notes could limit our ability to obtain additional financing on satisfactory terms to fund our working capital requirements, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt obligations and other general corporate requirements; |
Madison Technologies Inc. | Form 10-K - 2021 | Page 12 |
the convertible notes may increase our vulnerability to general economic downturns, competition and industry conditions and we may be unable to take advantage of opportunities that our leverage prevents us from exploiting, placing us at a disadvantage to our competitors that are less leveraged; and |
the convertible notes impose restrictions on the manner in which we conduct our business, including restrictions on our ability to pay dividends, incur additional debt and sell assets. |
The obligations under the convertible notes could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows. In addition, our failure to comply with the covenants under the convertible notes could result in an event of default and acceleration of the outstanding balance, which could significantly harm our business and cause our stock price to decline. We have not yet made the $0.4 million interest payments that were due on April 1, 2022 and July 1, 2022, and as a result, under terms of the convertible notes, the interest rate is 20.0% per annum. We are currently in discussions with our lender, Arena Capital LP, on a plan of forbearance; however, there is no assurance that we will be successful in completion of a plan, which may disrupt our operations and result in a restructuring of obligations.
Our broadcast facilities are vulnerable to disruption due to natural or other disasters, strikes and other events beyond our control.
A major earthquake, fire, tsunami, hurricane, cyclone, or other disaster, such as a major flood, seasonal storms, nuclear event, or terrorist attack affecting our facilities or the areas in which we are located, or affecting those of our customers or third-party manufacturers or suppliers, could significantly disrupt our or their operations and delay or prevent product shipment or installation during the time required to repair, rebuild or replace our or their damaged manufacturing facilities. These delays could be lengthy and costly. If our third-party contract manufacturer’s, suppliers’ or customers’ facilities are negatively impacted by such a disaster, production, shipment, and installation of our products could be delayed, which can impact the period in which it recognizes the revenue related to that product sale. Additionally, customers may delay purchases of our products until operations return to normal. Even if we can respond quickly to a disaster, the continued effects of the disaster could create uncertainty in our business operations. In addition, concerns about terrorism, the effects of a terrorist attack, political turmoil, labor strikes, war, including the developing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, or the outbreak of epidemic diseases (including the on-going COVID-19 pandemic) could have a negative effect on our operations and sales.
If we are unable to acquire new customers, our future revenues and operating results will be harmed. Likewise, potential customer turnover in the future, or costs we incur to retain our existing customers, could materially and adversely affect our financial performance.
Our success depends on our ability to acquire new customers in new and existing vertical markets, and in new and existing geographic markets. If we are unable to attract a sufficient number of new customers, we may be unable to generate revenue growth at desired rates. The security solutions market is competitive and many of our competitors have substantial financial, personnel and other resources that they utilize to develop solutions and attract customers. As a result, it may be difficult for us to add new customers to our customer base. Competition in the marketplace may also lead us to win fewer new customers or result in us providing discounts and other commercial incentives. Additional factors that impact our ability to acquire new customers include the perceived need for AI-based weapons detection for security solutions, the size of our prospective customers’ security budgets, the utility and efficacy of our existing and new products, whether proven or perceived, and general economic conditions. These factors may have a meaningful negative impact on future revenues and operating results.
If we are unable to sell additional services to our customers and maintain and grow our customer retention rates, our future revenue and operating results will be harmed.
Our future success depends, in part, on our ability to expand the deployment of our services with existing customers by selling them additional services. This may require increasingly sophisticated and costly sales efforts and may not result in additional sales. In addition, the rate at which our customers purchase additional services depends on a number of factors, including the perceived need for additional TV entertainment, information and other content as well as general economic conditions. If our efforts to sell additional services to our customers are not successful, our business may suffer.
Madison Technologies Inc. | Form 10-K - 2021 | Page 13 |
Our business model is predicated, in part, on building a customer base that will generate a recurring stream of revenues. If that recurring stream of revenues does not develop as expected, or if our business model changes as the industry evolves, our operating results may be adversely affected.
Our business model is dependent, in part, on our ability to maintain and increase distribution to generate recurring revenues. Existing and future customers may not utilize our television broadcast assets at the same rate at which customers currently do. If our current and future customers reduce their utilization, our recurring revenue stream relative to our total revenues would be reduced and our operating results would be adversely affected.
Fluctuating economic conditions make it difficult to predict revenue for a particular period, and a shortfall in revenue may harm our operating results.
Our revenue depends significantly on general economic conditions. Economic weakness and customer financial difficulties may result in decreased revenue and earnings. Such factors could make it difficult to accurately forecast our sales and operating results and could negatively affect our ability to provide accurate forecasts of our costs and expenses. General economic weakness may also lead to longer collection cycles for payments due from our customers, an increase in customer bad debt, restructuring initiatives and associated expenses and impairment of investments.
Uncertainty about future economic conditions also makes it difficult to forecast operating results and to make decisions about future investments. Future or continued economic weakness for us or our customers, failure of our customers and markets to recover from such weakness and customer financial difficulties could have a material adverse effect on demand, and consequently on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our brand, reputation and ability to attract, retain, and serve our customers are dependent in part upon the reliable performance of our products and infrastructure.
Our brand, reputation and ability to attract, retain, and serve our customers are dependent in part upon the reliable performance of, and the ability of our existing customers and new customers to access and use our television broadcast assets. We have experienced, and may in the future experience, disruptions, outages and other performance problems due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, equipment failure, human or software errors, capacity constraints, and fraud or cybersecurity attacks. In some instances, we may not be able to identify the cause or causes of these performance problems within an acceptable period of time.
Interruptions in our systems or the third-party systems on which we rely, whether due to system failures, computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins, or other factors, could affect the security or availability of our television broadcast assets, network infrastructure, cloud infrastructure and website.
Problems with the reliability or security of our systems could harm our reputation. Damage to our reputation and the cost of remedying these problems could negatively affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
Any disruptions or other performance problems with our television broadcast assets could harm our reputation and business and may damage our customers’ businesses. Interruptions in our service delivery might reduce our revenue, cause us to issue credits to customers, subject us to potential liability and cause customers not to renew their subscription purchases of our products.
If we are not able to maintain and enhance our brand or reputation as an industry leader, our business and operating results may be adversely affected.
We believe that maintaining and enhancing our reputation as the leader in next-generation television is critical to our relationship with our existing end-user customers and our ability to attract new customers and reseller partners. The successful promotion of our brand will depend on multiple factors, including our marketing efforts, our ability to continue to deliver a superior customer experience and develop high-quality features and our ability to successfully differentiate our broadcast services from those of our competitors. Our brand promotion activities may not be successful or yield increased revenue. The promotion of our brand requires us to make substantial expenditures, and we anticipate that the expenditures will increase as our market becomes more competitive, as we expand into new geographies and vertical markets. To the extent that these activities yield increased revenue; this revenue may not offset the increased expenses we incur. If we do not successfully maintain and enhance our brand and reputation, our business and operating results may be adversely affected.
Madison Technologies Inc. | Form 10-K - 2021 | Page 14 |
We are dependent on the continued services and performance of our senior management and other key employees, as well as on our ability to successfully hire, train, manage and retain qualified personnel, especially those in sales and marketing and research and development.
Our future performance depends on the continued services and contributions of our senior management, particularly Philip Falcone, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and other key employees to execute on our business plan and to identify and pursue new opportunities and product innovations. We do not maintain key man insurance for any of our executive officers or key employees. From time to time, there may be changes in our senior management team resulting from the termination or departure of our executive officers and key employees. Our senior management and key employees are generally employed on an at-will basis, which means that they could terminate their employment with us at any time. The loss of the services of our senior management, particularly Mr. Falcone, or other key employees for any reason could significantly delay or prevent our development or the achievement of our strategic objectives and harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our ability to successfully pursue our growth strategy will also depend on our ability to attract, motivate and retain our personnel, especially those in sales and marketing and research and development. We face escalating compensation demands from new and prospective employees, as well as intense competition for these employees from numerous technology, software and other companies, especially in certain geographic areas in which we operate, and we cannot ensure that we will be able to attract, motivate and/or retain additional qualified employees in the future. If we are unable to attract new employees and retain our current employees, we may not be able to adequately develop and maintain new products, or market our existing products at the same levels as our competitors and it may, therefore, lose customers and market share. Our failure to attract and retain personnel, especially those in sales and marketing and engineering positions could have an adverse effect on our ability to execute our business objectives and, as a result, our ability to compete could decrease, our operating results could suffer and our revenue could decrease. Even if we are able to identify and recruit a sufficient number of new hires, these new hires will require significant training before they achieve full productivity and they may not become productive as quickly as we would like, or at all.
If we cannot maintain our company culture as it grows, we could lose the innovation, teamwork, passion and focus on execution that we believe contributes to our success and as a result, our business may be harmed.
We believe that a critical component to our success has been our mission-driven company culture based on our shared commitment to make television accessible to younger consumers, which we believe fosters innovation, teamwork, passion for customers and focus on execution, and facilitates critical knowledge transfer, knowledge sharing and professional growth. We have invested substantial time and resources in building our team within this company culture. Any failure to preserve our culture could negatively affect our ability to retain and recruit personnel and to effectively focus on and pursue our corporate objectives. As we grow and develop the infrastructure of a public company, we may find it difficult to maintain these important aspects of our company culture. If we fail to maintain our company culture, our business may be adversely impacted.
We may acquire or invest in other companies or technologies in the future, which could divert management’s attention, fail to meet our expectations, result in additional dilution to our stockholders, increase expenses, disrupt our operations or otherwise harm our operating results.
We may in the future acquire or invest in, businesses, television broadcast assets or technologies that we believe could complement or expand our platform, enhance our technical capabilities or otherwise offer growth opportunities. We may not be able to fully realize the anticipated benefits of any future acquisitions or anticipated benefits may not transpire. The pursuit of potential acquisitions may divert the attention of management and cause us to incur various expenses related to identifying, investigating and pursuing suitable acquisitions, whether or not they are consummated.
Madison Technologies Inc. | Form 10-K - 2021 | Page 15 |
There are inherent risks in integrating and managing acquisitions. If we acquire additional businesses, we may not be able to assimilate or integrate the acquired personnel, operations, products, services and technologies successfully or effectively manage the combined business following the acquisition and our management may be distracted from operating our business. We also may not achieve the anticipated benefits from the acquired business due to a number of factors, including, without limitation:
● | unanticipated costs or liabilities associated with the acquisition; |
● | incurrence of acquisition-related costs, which would be recognized as a current period expense; |
● | inability to generate sufficient revenue to offset acquisition or investment costs; |
● | inability to maintain relationships with customers and partners of the acquired business; |
● | difficulty of incorporating acquired technology and rights into our platform and of maintaining quality and security standards consistent with our brand; |
● | delays in customer purchases due to uncertainty related to any acquisition; |
● | the potential loss of key employees; |
● | use of resources that are needed in other parts of our business and diversion of management and employee resources; |
● | inability to recognize acquired deferred revenue in accordance with our revenue recognition policies; and |
● | use of substantial portions of our available cash and equity or the incurrence of debt to consummate the acquisition. |
Acquisitions also increase the risk of unforeseen legal liability, including for potential shareholder suits or potential violations of applicable law or industry rules and regulations, arising from prior or ongoing acts or omissions by the acquired businesses that are not discovered by due diligence during the acquisition process or new regulatory restrictions at the federal, state, or local levels. Generally, if an acquired business fails to meet our expectations, our operating results, business and financial condition may suffer. Acquisitions could also result in dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In addition, a significant portion of the purchase price of companies it acquires may be allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets, which must be assessed for impairment at least annually. If our acquisitions do not ultimately yield expected returns, we may be required to take charges to our operating results based on our impairment assessment process, which could harm our results of operations.
If we are unable to compete effectively with new entrants and other potential competitors, our sales and profitability could be adversely affected.
The sales prices for our products and services may decline for a variety of reasons, including competitive pricing pressures, discounts, a change in our mix of products and services, anticipation of the introduction of new products or promotional programs. Competition continues to increase in the market segments in which we participate, and we expect competition to further increase in the future, thereby leading to increased pricing pressures. Larger competitors with more diverse product and service offerings may reduce the price of products that compete with theirs or may bundle them with other products and services. Additionally, currency fluctuations in certain countries and regions may negatively impact prices that partners and customers are willing to pay in those countries and regions. We cannot be certain that we will be successful in developing and introducing new products with enhanced functionality on a timely basis, or that our new product offerings, if introduced, will enable it to maintain our prices and gross profits at levels that will allow us to maintain positive gross margins and achieve profitability.
Madison Technologies Inc. | Form 10-K - 2021 | Page 16 |
Because our services may collect and store viewer and related information, domestic and international privacy and cyber security concerns, and other laws and regulations, could result in additional costs and liabilities to us or inhibit sales of our products.
We may be affected by cyber-attacks and other means of gaining unauthorized access to our products, systems, and data. For instance, cyber criminals or insiders may target us or third parties with which we have business relationships to obtain data, or in a manner that disrupts our operations or compromises our products or the systems into which our products are integrated. The evolution of technology systems introduces ever more complex security risks that are difficult to predict and defend against. An increasing number of companies, including those with significant online operations, have recently disclosed breaches of their security, some of which involved sophisticated tactics and techniques allegedly attributable to criminal enterprises or nation-state actors. While we take measures to protect the security of personal information, it is possible that our security controls over personal information and other practices we follow may not prevent the unauthorized access to, or the unintended release of, personal information. In addition, we do not know whether our current practices will be deemed sufficient under applicable laws or whether new regulatory requirements might make our current practices insufficient. If there is a breach of our computer systems and we know or suspect that certain personal information has been accessed, or used inappropriately, we may need to inform the affected individual and may be subject to significant fines and penalties. In the event of a breach we could face government scrutiny or consumer class actions.
Cybersecurity incidents directed at us or our third-party vendors can range from uncoordinated individual attempts to gain unauthorized access to information technology systems to sophisticated and targeted measures known as advanced persistent threats. Cybersecurity incidents are also constantly evolving, increasing the difficulty of detecting and successfully defending against them. In the ordinary course of our business, we and our third-party vendors collect and store personal information, as well as our proprietary business information and intellectual property and that of our customers and employees. Additionally, we rely on third-parties and their security procedures for the secure storage, processing, maintenance, and transmission of information that is critical to our operations. Despite measures designed to prevent, detect, address, and mitigate cybersecurity incidents, such incidents may occur to us or our third-party providers and, depending on their nature and scope, could potentially result in the misappropriation, destruction, corruption or unavailability of critical data and confidential or proprietary information (our own or that of third parties, including personal information of our customers and employees) and the disruption of business operations. We have experienced and expect to continue to experience attempted routine cyber-attacks of our information technology networks, such as through phishing scams and ransomware. Although none of these actual or attempted cyber-attacks has had a material adverse impact on our operations or financial condition, we cannot guarantee that any such incidents will not have such an impact in the future. For example, we are at risk for interruptions, outages and breaches of: operational systems, including business, financial, accounting, product development, data processing or production processes, owned by us or our third-party vendors or suppliers; facility security systems, owned by us or our third-party vendors or suppliers; in-product technology owned by us or our third-party vendors or suppliers; the integrated software in our solutions; or customer or other data that we process or our third-party vendors or suppliers process on our behalf. Such cyber incidents could materially disrupt operational systems; result in loss of intellectual property, trade secrets or other proprietary or competitively sensitive information; compromise certain information of customers, employees, suppliers, or others; jeopardize the security of our facilities; or affect the performance of in-product technology and the integrated software in our solutions.
A cyber incident could be caused by disasters, insiders (through inadvertence or with malicious intent) or malicious third parties (including nation-states or nation-state supported actors) using sophisticated, targeted methods to circumvent firewalls, encryption and other security defenses, including hacking, fraud, trickery or other forms of deception. The techniques used by cyber attackers change frequently and may be difficult to detect for long periods of time. Although we maintain information technology measures designed to protect us against intellectual property theft, data breaches and other cyber incidents, such measures will require updates and improvements, and we cannot guarantee that such measures will be adequate to detect, prevent or mitigate cyber incidents.
Any actual or alleged security breaches or alleged violations of federal or state laws or regulations relating to privacy and data security could result in mandated user notifications, litigation, government investigations, significant fines, and expenditures; divert management’s attention from operations; deterring people from using our platform; damage our brand and reputation; and a materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Defending against claims or litigation based on any security breach or incident, regardless of their merit, will be costly and may cause reputation harm. In addition, we may incur significant costs for remediation that may include liability for stolen assets or information, repair of system damage, and compensation to customers, employees, and business partners. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceed available insurance coverage, denial of coverage as to any specific claim, or any change or cessation in our insurance policies and coverages, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible requirements, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

We are subject to governmental regulation and other legal obligations, particularly related to privacy, data protection and information security, and our actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could harm our business.
We, and our customers are subject to a number of domestic and international laws and regulations that apply to cloud services and the internet generally. These laws, rules and regulations address a range of issues including data privacy and cyber security, breach notification and restrictions or technological requirements regarding the collection, processing, use, storage, protection, disclosure, retention or transfer of data. The regulatory framework for online services, data privacy and cyber security issues worldwide can vary substantially from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, is rapidly evolving and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. Many federal, state, local and foreign government bodies and agencies have adopted or are considering adopting laws, rules and regulations regarding the collection, processing, use, storage and disclosure of information, web browsing and geolocation data collection, data analytics, facial recognition, cyber security and breach response and notification procedures. Furthermore, existing laws and regulations are constantly evolving, and new laws and regulations that apply to our business are being introduced at every level of government in the United States, as well as internationally. As we seek to expand our business, we are, and may increasingly become subject to various laws, regulations, and standards, and may be subject to contractual obligations relating to data privacy and security in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Any significant change to applicable laws, regulations or industry practices regarding the use or disclosure of personal information, or regarding the manner in which the express or implied consent of customers for the use and disclosure of personal information is obtained, could require us to modify our products and features, possibly in a material manner and subject to increased compliance costs, which may limit our ability to develop new products and features that make use of the personal information that our customers voluntarily share. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with any federal or state privacy or security laws, regulations, industry self-regulatory principles, or codes of conduct, regulatory guidance, orders to which we may be subject, or other legal obligations relating to data privacy or security could adversely affect our reputation, brand and business, and may result in claims, liabilities, proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities, customers or others. Any such claims, proceedings or actions could hurt our reputation, brand and business, force us to incur significant expenses in defense of such proceedings or actions, distract our management, increase our costs of doing business, result in a loss of customers and result in the imposition of monetary penalties.
In the United States, there are numerous federal and state data privacy and security laws, rules, and regulations governing the collection, use, disclosure, retention, security, transfer, storage, and other processing of personal data, including federal and state data privacy laws, data breach notification laws, and consumer protection laws. For example, the FTC and many state attorneys general are interpreting federal and state consumer protection laws to impose standards for the online collection, use, dissemination, and security of data. Such standards require us to publish statements that describe how we handle personal data and choices individuals may have about the way we handle their personal data. If such information that we publish is considered untrue or inaccurate, we may be subject to government claims of unfair or deceptive trade practices, which could lead to significant liabilities and consequences. Moreover, according to the FTC, violating consumers’ privacy rights or failing to take appropriate steps to keep consumers’ personal data secure may constitute unfair acts or practices in or affecting commerce in violation of Section 5(a) of the Federal Trade Commission Act. State consumer protection laws provide similar causes of action for unfair or deceptive practices.
In addition, many state legislatures have adopted legislation that regulates how businesses operate online, including measures relating to privacy, data security, and data breaches. Such legislation includes the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), which came into effect in 2020, increases privacy rights for California consumers and imposes obligations on companies that process their personal information. Among other things, the CCPA gives California consumers expanded rights related to their personal information, including the right to access and delete their personal information and receive detailed information about how their personal information is used and shared. The CCPA also provides California consumers the right to opt-out of certain sales of personal information and may restrict the use of cookies and similar technologies for advertising purposes. The CCPA prohibits discrimination against individuals who exercise their privacy rights, and provides for civil penalties for violations enforceable by the California Attorney General as well as a private right of action for certain data breaches that result in the loss of personal information. This private right of action is expected to increase the likelihood of, and risks associated with, data breach litigation. Many of the CCPA’s requirements as applied to personal information of a business’s personnel and related individuals are subject to a moratorium set to expire on January 1, 2023. The expiration of the moratorium may increase our compliance costs and our exposure to public and regulatory scrutiny, costly litigation, fines and penalties. Additionally, in November 2020, California passed the California Privacy Rights Act (the “CPRA”), which expands the CCPA significantly, including by expanding California consumers’ rights with respect to certain personal information and creating a new state agency to oversee implementation and enforcement efforts, potentially resulting in further uncertainty and requiring us to incur additional costs and expenses in an effort to comply. Many of the CPRA’s provisions will become effective on January 1, 2023. The costs of compliance with, and the other burdens imposed by, these and other laws or regulatory actions may increase our operational costs, and/or result in interruptions or delays in the availability of systems.
Madison Technologies Inc. | Form 10-K - 2021 | Page 18 |
In March 2021, the Governor of Virginia signed into law the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (the “VCDPA”). The VCDPA creates consumer rights, similar to the CCPA, but also imposes security and assessment requirements for businesses. In addition, in July 2021, Colorado enacted the Colorado Privacy Act (“COCPA”), becoming the third comprehensive consumer privacy law to be passed in the United States (after the CCPA and VCDPA). The COCPA closely resembles the VCDPA, and both will be enforced by the respective states’ Attorney General and district attorneys, although the two differ in many ways. Once they become enforceable in 2023, we must comply with each if our operations fall within the scope of these newly enacted comprehensive mandates, which may increase our compliance costs and potential liability. Similar laws have been proposed in other states and at the federal level, reflecting a trend toward more stringent privacy legislation in the United States. This legislation may add additional complexity, variation in requirements, restrictions and potential legal risk, require additional investment in resources to compliance programs, could impact strategies and availability of previously useful data, and could result in increased compliance costs and/or changes in business practices and policies.
In addition, some laws may require us to notify governmental authorities and/or affected individuals of data breaches involving certain personal information or other unauthorized or inadvertent access to or disclosure of such information. We may need to notify governmental authorities and affected individuals with respect to such incidents. For example, laws in all 50 U.S. states may require businesses to provide notice to consumers whose personal information has been disclosed as a result of a data breach. These laws are not consistent, and compliance in the event of a widespread data breach may be difficult and costly. We also may be contractually required to notify consumers or other counterparties of a security breach. Regardless of our contractual protections, any actual or perceived security breach or breach of our contractual obligations could harm our reputation and brand, expose us to potential liability or require us to expend significant resources on data security and in responding to any such actual or perceived breach.
We strive to comply with all applicable laws, policies, legal obligations and industry codes of conduct relating to privacy and data protection to the extent possible. Because the interpretation and application of privacy and data protection laws are still uncertain, it is possible that these laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another or with our existing practices or the features of our products and may conflict with other rules or regulations, making enforcement, and thus compliance requirements, ambiguous, uncertain, and potentially inconsistent. Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with our privacy policies, privacy-related obligations to customers or other third parties, or our privacy-related legal obligations, or any compromise of security that results in the unauthorized access to or unintended release of personally identifiable information or other customer data, may result in governmental enforcement actions, litigation, or public statements against us by consumer advocacy groups or others. Any of these events could cause us to incur significant costs in investigating and defending such claims and, if found liable, pay significant damages. Further, these proceedings and any subsequent adverse outcomes may cause our customers to lose trust in us, which could have an adverse effect on our reputation and business.
We may also be subject to claims of liability or responsibility for the actions of third parties with whom we interact or upon whom it relies in relation to various products, including but not limited to vendors and business partners. If so, in addition to the possibility of fines, lawsuits and other claims, we could be required to fundamentally change our business activities and practices or modify our products, which could have an adverse effect on our business. Any inability to adequately address privacy and/or data concerns, even if unfounded, or comply with applicable privacy or data protection laws, regulations and policies, could result in additional cost and liability to us, damage our reputation, inhibit sales and adversely affect our business.
Madison Technologies Inc. | Form 10-K - 2021 | Page 19 |
The costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, the laws, rules, regulations and policies that are applicable to the businesses of our customers may limit the use and adoption of, and reduce the overall demand for, our software. Even the perception of privacy concerns, whether or not valid, may harm our reputation, inhibit adoption of our products by current and future customers, or adversely impact our ability to attract and retain workforce talent. Our failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations, or to protect such data, could result in enforcement action against us, including fines, imprisonment of our officials and public censure, claims for damages by customers and other affected individuals, damage to our reputation and loss of goodwill (both in relation to existing customers and prospective customers), any of which could have a material adverse effect on our operations, financial performance and business.
Our operating results may be harmed if we are required to collect taxes on our billings in jurisdictions where it has not historically done so.
Taxing jurisdictions, including state, local and federal taxing authorities, have differing rules and regulations governing taxes, and these rules and regulations are subject to varying interpretations that may change over time. In particular, significant judgment is required in evaluating our tax positions and our provision for taxes. While we believe that we are in material compliance with our obligations under applicable taxing regimes, one or more states, localities or the federal government may seek to impose tax collection obligations on us. It is possible that we could face tax audits and that such audits could result in tax-related liabilities for which we have not accrued. A successful assertion that we should be collecting taxes in jurisdictions where it has not historically done so and do not accrue for taxes could result in substantial tax liabilities for past sales, discourage customers from purchasing from us or otherwise harm our business and operating results.
In addition, our tax obligations and effective tax rates could be adversely affected by changes in the relevant tax, accounting and other laws, regulations, principles and interpretations, including those relating to income tax nexus, jurisdictional mix of profits at varying statutory tax rates, by changes in foreign currency exchange rates, or by changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities. Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable, the final determination of any tax audits or litigation could be materially different from our historical tax provisions and accruals, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results or cash flows in the period or periods for which a determination is made.
We may require additional capital to support business growth, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
We intend to continue to make investments to support our business growth and may require additional funds to respond to business challenges, including the need to develop new features or enhance our products, improve our operating infrastructure or acquire complementary businesses and technologies. Accordingly, we may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds through future issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. Any debt financing that we may secure in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to it, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to it when we require it, our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be significantly impaired, and our business may be adversely affected.
As a result of being a public company, we are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, and if we are unable to remediate the material weaknesses, or if we fail to develop and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, our ability to produce timely and accurate consolidated financial statements or comply with applicable laws and regulations could be impaired, which may adversely affect our business and stock price.
As a public company, we are required to furnish a report by management on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for each future Annual Report on Form 10-K to be filed with the SEC. This assessment will need to include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in internal control over financial reporting. Effective internal control over financial reporting is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and, together with adequate disclosure controls and procedures, are designed to prevent fraud. Any failure to implement new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. Ineffective internal control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock.
Madison Technologies Inc. | Form 10-K - 2021 | Page 20 |
If we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, we could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, and we may be subject to investigation and/or sanctions by the SEC.
We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we are unable to remediate these material weaknesses, these material weaknesses could result in a material misstatement of our consolidated financial statements.
We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a smallerdeficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Exchange Actannual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
We did not design and maintain an effective control environment commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. Specifically, we lacked a sufficient complement of personnel with an appropriate level of internal controls and accounting knowledge, training and experience commensurate with our financial reporting requirements. Additionally, the limited personnel resulted in our inability to consistently establish appropriate authorities and responsibilities in pursuit of our financial reporting objectives, as demonstrated by, among other things, insufficient segregation of duties in our finance and accounting functions. This material weakness contributed to the following additional material weaknesses:
(1) lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on our 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 and communicated to management in connection with the preparation and audit of our financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and the preparation of our 2021 quarterly financial statements.
While we are undertaking efforts to remediate these material weaknesses, the material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until our remediation plan has been fully implemented, the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time, and we have concluded, through testing, that the newly implemented and enhanced controls are operating effectively. At this time, we cannot predict the success of such efforts or the outcome of our assessment of the remediation efforts. We can give no assurance that our efforts will remediate these material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, or that additional material weaknesses will not be identified in the future.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the possibility of human error and the risk of fraud. If we are unable to remediate the material weaknesses, our ability to record, process and report financial information accurately, and to prepare the consolidated financial statements within the time periods specified by the rules and regulations of the SEC, could be adversely affected which, in turn, may adversely affect our reputation and business and the trading price of our common stock. Our failure to design and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could result in errors in our consolidated financial statements that could result in a restatement of our financial statements, and could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, any of which could diminish investor confidence in us and cause a decline in the price of our common stock. In addition, any such failures could result in litigation or regulatory actions by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, loss of investor confidence, delisting of our securities and harm to our reputation and financial condition, or diversion of financial and management resources from the operation of our business.
Madison Technologies Inc. | Form 10-K - 2021 | Page 21 |
Our reported financial results may be adversely affected by changes in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) are subject to interpretation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), the SEC, and various bodies formed to promulgate and interpret appropriate accounting principles. A change in these principles or interpretations could have a significant effect on our reported results of operations and could affect the reporting of transactions already completed before the announcement of such change.
The continuation or worsening of the COVID-19 pandemic, or other similar public health developments, could have an adverse effect on business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We face various risks and uncertainties related to the global outbreak of COVID-19 and the new coronavirus strains or variants that have developed. The continued COVID-19 pandemic has led to disruption and volatility in the global economy and capital markets, which increases the cost of capital and adversely impacts access to capital. Government-enforced travel bans and business closures around the world have significantly impacted our ability to sell, install and service our products especially given the nature of the markets we serve. It has, and may continue to, disrupt third-party contract manufacturer and supply chain. We may also experience customer payment delays for our products which could negatively impact our results of operations. We may also experience some delays in installation of our products at customers’ facilities, which could lead to postponed revenue recognition for those transactions. Furthermore, if significant portions of the workforce are unable to work effectively, including because of illness, quarantines, government actions, facility closures, remote working or other restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, operations will likely be adversely impacted.
We have been experiencing supply chain challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. There is no guarantee that our operations will not requiredbe materially adversely affected in the future in the supply chain interruptions intensify. Furthermore, although in the long-term, we believe that the COVID 19 pandemic may encourage organizations to providereassess their security screening processes and may continue to accelerate their adoption of solutions such as touchless security screening, which could create additional demand for our products, there is no guarantee that such organizations will choose to implement our solutions.
If the information required underCOVID-19 pandemic continues for a prolonged duration, we or our customers may be unable to perform fully on our contracts, which will likely result in increases in costs and reduction in revenue. These cost increases may not be fully recoverable or adequately covered by insurance. The long-term effects of COVID-19 to the global economy and to us are difficult to assess or predict and may include a further decline in the market prices of our products, risks to employee health and safety, risks for the deployment of our products and services and reduced sales in geographic locations impacted. Any prolonged restrictive measures put in place to control COVID-19 or other adverse public health developments in any of our targeted markets may have a material and adverse effect on our business operations and results of operations.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
The market price of our Common Stock is likely to be highly volatile, and you may lose some or all of your investment.
The trading price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of factors, including the following:
● | the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on our business; |
● | the inability to re-list our shares of Common Stock on the OTC Markets; |
● | changes in applicable laws or regulations; |
Madison Technologies Inc. | Form 10-K - 2021 | Page 22 |
● | risks relating to the uncertainty of our projected financial information; and |
● | risks related to the organic and inorganic growth of our business and the timing of expected business milestones. |
In addition, the stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. Broad market and industry factors, as well as general economic, political, regulatory and market conditions, may negatively affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.
Volatility in our share price could subject us to securities class action litigation.
In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following a decline in the market price of its securities or the completion of a merger. If we face such litigation, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could harm our business.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about us, or publish negative reports, our stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock will depend, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us. We do not have any control over these analysts. If our financial performance fails to meet analyst estimates or one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our common stock, change their opinion, or reduce their target stock price on us, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.
Because we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, capital appreciation, if any, would be your sole source of gain.
We currently anticipate that it will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business and we do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock would be your sole source of gain on an investment in such shares for the foreseeable future.
A material portion of the outstanding shares of our common stock is currently restricted from resale but may be sold on a stock exchange in the near future. The number of shares eligible for public sale upon the lapse of such restrictions could depress the market price of our common stock.
In connection with the issuance of convertible notes to Arena Investors LP, we issued to them Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 192,073,017 shares of Common Stock.
In connection with the issuance of a promissory note to Z4 Management LLC, we issued to them Warrants to purchase 500,000 shares of our Common Stock.
We have 230,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock that may be converted to 230,000,000 shares of Common Stock.
We have 1,152,500 shares of Series E-1 Preferred Stock that may be converted to 1,152,500,000 shares of Common Stock.
Madison Technologies Inc. | Form 10-K - 2021 | Page 23 |
We have 39,895 shares of Series H Preferred Stock that may be converted to 39,895,000 shares of Common Stock.
As of December 31, 2021, the outstanding principal balance, including accrued interest of the third-party convertible debt was convertible into 866,192,064 shares of Common Stock.
Sales of our Common Stock as restrictions end may make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate. These sales could also cause the trading price of our common stock to fall and make it more difficult for us to sell shares of our Common Stock.
In addition, FFO 1 Trust delivered 48,405,000 shares of Restricted Common Stock the New York State as partial payment for outstanding personal taxes of Mr. Falcone. Any sale of this item.Common Stock could also cause the trading price our shares to fall.

(e)(f) Penny Stock Rules
Trading in Madison’sour 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’sour 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’sour securities, which could severely limit their market price and liquidity of Madison’sour securities. The application of the “penny stock” rules may affect your ability to resell Madison’sour securities.

THE FOLLOWING PRESENTATION OF THEOUR PLAN OF OPERATION OF MADISON TECHNOLOGIES INC. SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION INCLUDED HEREIN.
OverviewRESULTS OF OPERATIONS
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.” by a majority vote of the shareholders.

Results of Operation for the Period Ended December 31, 2017
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, we incurred net losses of $53,273, compared to our net losses in fiscal 2016 of $45,268. Our losses in the current fiscal year were slightly lower due to lower 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. 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.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2017, Madison had total assets of $21,041, and a working capital deficit of $377,208, compared with a working capital deficit of $369,935 as of December 31, 2016. The increase in the working capital deficit was primarily due to an increase in interest accrued on notes payable debt, the balance owing on the license agreement and an increase in convertible notes payable arising from interest recognition on discount. The assets consisted of $3,281 in cash and $17,760 in a license agreement. The liabilities consisted of $45,394 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities ($36,510 in 2016), $123,094 in notes payable and accrued interest ($114,683 in 2016), $196,000 in convertible notes payable ($241,000 in 2016), $33,500 in license fee payable 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 plan of operations and its business will fail.
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, net cash used in operating activities increased to $10,978compared with $30,742 for the same period in the previous fiscal year. The use of cash was primarily due to a net loss of $53,278less non cash items of interest on the convertible debt of $6,160, amortization of license of $25,000 and, foreign exchange on note payable of $2,252.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $nil for the purchase of licensing agreement during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 as compared with cash flow from investing activities of $16,500 for the same period in the previous fiscal year.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash flows provided by financing activities was $nil for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 as compared with financing activities of $61,000 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.
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.

Year ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020
Revenues
Net Revenues increased to $1,243,655 for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $1,374 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase resulted from the acquisitions of television stations in 2021 and the $1,243,655 revenues generated by the lease agreements held by those stations. We anticipate 2022 Net Revenues will increase compared to 2021 Net Revenues as a result a full year of operating the television stations acquired during 2021 and the launch of BLOCKCHAIN.TV in 2022.
Amortization
Amortization increased to $105,450 for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $0 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase resulted from the Sovryn acquisitions in 2021 of television stations that have amortizable tangible and intangible assets.
Selling, general and administrative fees
Selling, general and administrative fees increased to $350,770 for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $29,600 for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Television operations
Television operation expenses are $266,644 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. The expenses are direct costs of operating the television stations we acquired in 2021.
Professional Fees
Professional Fees increased to $1,850,041 for the year ended December 31, 2021 from $89,144 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in the legal and accounting expense associated with the acquisitions of television stations, the financing associated with those acquisitions and, the expense associated with regulatory filings for the SEC, including the Form S1 Registration.
Goodwill impairment loss
Our goodwill impairment loss was $4,224,962 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Due to a sustained decline in the market capitalization of our Common Stock during the fourth quarter of 2021, we performed an interim goodwill impairment test. Management considered that, along with other possible factors affecting the assessment of our operations for the purposes of performing a goodwill impairment assessment, including management assumptions about expected future revenue forecasts and discount rates, changes in the overall economy, trends in the stock price, estimated control premium, other operating conditions, and the effect of changes in estimates and assumptions that could materially affect the determination of fair value and goodwill. As a result of the significant decline in the current market capitalization despite any of the other positive factors contemplated and relatively little change in our ongoing business operations, the outcome of this goodwill impairment test resulted in a charge for the impairment of goodwill of $4,224,962 recorded in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

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 marketingW27EB-Chicago, KPHE-Phoenix, KVSD-San Diego, WANN-Atlanta and sending demo packs of the Licensed Products to both online bloggers and established gun owner clubs.

We will require additional financingcapital to meet our long-term operating requirements. We have not yet made the $0.4 million interest payments on the Notes held by Arena Partners LC that were due on April 1, 2022 and July 1, 2022, and as a result, under the Note terms, the interest rate is 20.0% per annum. We are currently in discussions with Arena Capital LP, on a plan of forbearance; however, there is no assurance that we will be successful in completion of a plan, which may disrupt our operations and result in a restructuring of obligations.
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 amountfuture. 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.

During the 12 month period following the dateliquidity was our cash, which totaled $55,656. Historically, our principal sources 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 notcash have tangible assets to secure any debt financing. Rather, management anticipates that additional funding will be in the form of equity financingincluded proceeds from the sale of Madison’s Common Stock. However, Madison does notcommon stock and preferred stock and related party loans. Our principal uses of cash have any financing arrangedincluded cash used in operations, to make acquisitions and cannot provide investors with any assuranceto pay interest on our Notes. We expect that itthe principal uses of cash in the future will be ablefor continuing operations associated with rolling out the business plan and for interest payments.
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
We used cash of $6,203,200 in operating activities during fiscal 2021 compared to raise sufficient fundingcash used of $489,325 in operating activities during the previous fiscal year. The increase was primarily the result of increase in expenses associated with the build out and roll out of our business plan.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
We used cash of $14,715,635 in investing activities during fiscal 2021 compared to cash used of $10,000 in investing activities during the previous fiscal year. The increase was the result of acquisitions and expenses associated with KNLA/KNET, KVVV, KYMU television stations, deposits associated with signed purchase agreements and loans made to Top Dog Productions Inc.
Net Cash Provided (Used in) by Financing Activities
Net cash flows provided by financing activities of $20,965,000 for fiscal 2021, were from the saleproceeds of its Common Stockthe Arena financing in February 2021 and Share subscriptions received but not issued for our Series G preferred stock and proceeds from subordinated loans, compared to fund its plan$507,450 of operations. Incash provided by financing activities during 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.previous fiscal year.

Critical Accounting Policies
Madison’sWe follow certain significant accounting policies when preparing our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are preparedstatements. A complete summary of these policies is included in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles inNote 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain of the United States. Preparing financial statements requirespolicies require management to make estimatessignificant and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Thesesubjective 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 pricingmay deviate from actual results. In particular, management makes estimates regarding the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictionsuseful life of long-lived assets related to depreciation 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 atamortization expense, estimates regarding fair value that are not requiredof our reporting units and future cash flows with respect to be measured at fair value. Madison has not elected the fair value option for any eligible financial instruments.
Impairmentassessing potential impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Impairment losses onboth long-lived assets such as mining claims, are recognizedand goodwill and estimates of expense related to our debt and equity instruments. Each of these estimates is discussed in greater detail in the following discussion.
Long-Lived Assets, Depreciation and Amortization Expense and Valuation
We review the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset, or related asset group, may not be recoverable from estimated future undiscounted cash flows. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or asset group to estimated undiscounted future cash flows estimatedexpected to be generated by such assets are less than theirthe asset or asset group. If the carrying value and, accordingly, all or a portionamount of suchthe asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are then measured by comparingamount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. In 2021, we recognized that we would not complete the acquisition of the TV station assets of W27EB and KPHE TV and we wrote off $1,150,000 in deposits paid to their carrying amounts.sellers of those assets.

Prior to January 1, 2017,Management performed the Company consideredannual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment assessments as of December 31, 2021 and concluded that our goodwill for the Sovryn acquisition was impaired as of that date. Goodwill and indefinite lived assets are tested annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the reasonasset might be impaired. We follow a two-step process for investing in convertible debt issued without interest was fortesting impairment. First, the conversion feature and, accordingly, allocated allfair value of each reporting unit is compared to its carrying value to determine whether an indication of impairment exists. If impairment is indicated, then the proceeds of this type of instrument to equity. The facefair value of the debt was allocatedreporting unit’s goodwill is determined by allocating the unit’s fair value of its assets and liabilities (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. The amount of impairment for goodwill is measured as the excess of its carrying value over its implied fair value.
Derivative Liabilities
We have certain financial instruments that are derivatives or contain embedded derivatives. We evaluate all of our financial instruments to additional paiddetermine if those contracts or any potential embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in capitalaccordance with ASC 810-10-05-4 and was amortized and charged to interest on an effective interest rate basis. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company corrected this policy and adopted FASB ASC Topic 470, “Debt with Conversions and Other Options,” which815-40. This accounting treatment requires that convertible debtthe carrying amount of any derivatives be recorded at fair value at issuance and marked-to-market at each balance sheet date. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, as is the case with no beneficialus, the change in the fair value during the period is recorded as either other income or expense.

These financial statements are the responsibilityeach of the Company’s management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audits.
I conducted my audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that I plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor was I engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosurestwo years in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessingperiod ended December 31, 2020 and the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,related notes (collectively referred to as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

“financial statements’). In my opinion, based on my audits, thesethe financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as ofat December 31, 20172020 and 2016 and the change in stockholders’ deficit2019 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2017 and 20162020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
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, and has a working capital deficiency 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.
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. The Company is not required to have, nor was I engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of my audits, I am required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, I express no such opinion.
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.
Critical Audit Matter
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. I determined that there are no critical audit matters.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 20172021
Note 1Nature and Continuance of Operations
TheOur Company was incorporated on June 15, 1998 in the State of Nevada, USA and the Company’sour common shares are publicly traded on the OTC Bulletin Board.Markets OTCQB.
We, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Sovryn Holdings, Inc. (“Sovryn”) acquired three un-affiliated Class A/LPTV TV. Each licensed TV station can broadcast between 10 and 12 channels over-the-air, 24 hours per day/7 days per week. In 2021, we generated revenue by leasing channels to third parties on KNLA/KNET, a Class A television station in Los Angeles, KVVV, a low power television station in Houston and KYMU-LD, a low power television station in Seattle.
Up until fiscal 2014,Until we abandoned the Company was inTuffy Pack product line during the fourth quarter of 2020, our business generated revenue from the distribution of mineral exploration. Tuffy Pack’s product line of custom inserts that provided a level of personal protection from ballistic threats similar to what law enforcement officers wear daily as bullet proof vests.
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 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. 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 give retroactive effect to both these changes.
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 will be 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.
Effective December 31, 2016, the Company dissolved itsNovember 15, 2021, we sold our wholly owned subsidiary, Scout ResourcesCZJ License Inc. (“Scout”)for $250,000.
During August 2021, our shareholders approved to amend and assumed all the debt that Scout owed.restate our Articles of Incorporation to increase our authorized common stock from shares to shares.
TheseNote 2 Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable toassuming we will continue as a going concern, which assumes thatcontemplates 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 classificationrecoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities shouldin the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Atnormal course of business. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company2021, we incurred a net loss of $14,262,579 and had a working capital deficit and an accumulated deficit of $4,373,271 and $15,747,021, respectively, at December 31, 2021. We have not yet achieved profitable operations, had accumulated lossesmade the $0.4 million interest payments on the Notes held by Arena Partners LC that were due on April 1, 2022 and July 1, 2022, and we are currently in discussions with Arena Capital LP on a plan of $478,110 since its inception and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business, all of which castsforbearance. It is management’s opinion that these matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’sour ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’sconcern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this report. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon itsmanagement’s ability to generate future profitableobtain a plan of forbearance, further implement our business plan and raise additional capital as needed from the sales of stock or debt. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be required should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
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.
F-7 |
Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries, Sovryn Holdings Inc. and CZJ License Inc. CZJ License Inc. was consolidated up until it was sold on November 15, 2021. All the intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the operations of CZJ License Inc. were consolidated into our operation and were designated as discontinued.
Segment reporting
We use “the management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by our chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining our reportable segments. Our chief operating decision maker is our chief executive officer, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing our entire performance. We did not report any segment information since we primarily generates sales from its television stations.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Revenue recognition
We adopted the ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). We recognize revenue when we transfer promised services to the customer. The performance obligation is the monthly services rendered. We have one main revenue source which is leasing of television station channels. Accordingly, we recognize revenue when services are provided as time passes the customers have access to utilize the channel. These revenues are billed in advance, arrears and/or to obtainare prepaid. The performance obligation is 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 thatmonthly services rendered. At the Company will be able to obtain additional funds by equity financing and/or related party advances. That said,moment, we have one main revenue source which is leasing of television channels. Where there is a leasing contract for channels, we bill monthly for our services as rendered. Where there is no assurancecontract, the revenue is recognized as provided.
We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606 using the following 5 steps to identify revenues:
● | identify the contract with a customer; |
● | identify the performance obligations in the contract; |
● | determine the transaction price; |
● | allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and |
● | recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied. |
Advances from Client’s deposits are contract liabilities with customers that represent our obligation to either transfer goods or services in the future, or refund the amount received. Where possible, we obtain retainers to lessen our risk of additional fundingnon-payment by our customers. Advances from Client’s deposits are recognized as revenue as we meet specified performance obligations as detailed in the contract.
Accounts receivables
Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount we expect to collect. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit worthiness, past transaction history, current economic industry trends and changes in customer payment terms. Past due balances over 90 days and other higher risk amounts are reviewed individually for collectability. Based on the management’s assessment, we provide for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after we have used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2021, our allowance for doubtful accounts receivable was $31,500.
F-8 |
Operating leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”). The new standard establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. For leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it should recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. Similarly, lessors will be required to classify leases as sales-type, finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of income recognition. Classification for both lessees and lessors will be based on an assessment of whether risks and rewards as well as substantive control have been transferred through a lease contract. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We adopted the new standard April 19, 2021. We have elected not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets are non-monetary identifiable assets, controlled by us 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 asset subject to amortization shall be periodically reviewed for impairment. A recoverability test will be performed and, if applicable, unscheduled amortization is considered.
License agreements have been capitalized, recorded at cost and amortized over the life of the contracts. They will be amortized over the life of the license to which it supports.
Equipment
Equipment represents purchases made for assets, whose useful life was determined to be greater than one year. The assets are initially recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
Website development costs
We recognized the costs associated with developing a website in accordance with ASC 350-50 “Website Development Cost”. The website development costs are divided into three stages, planning, development and production. The development stage can further be classified as application and infrastructure development, graphics development and content development. In short, website development cost for internal use should be capitalized except content input and data conversion costs in content development stage.
Costs associated with the website consist primarily of website development costs paid to third party. These capitalized costs will be amortized based on their estimated useful life over three years upon the website becoming operational. Internal costs related to the development of website content will be charged to operations as incurred. Website development costs related to the customers are charged to cost of sales.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, all long-lived assets such as plant and equipment and intangible assets we hold and use are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is evaluated by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to its estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.
F-9 |
Concentration of credit risk
We place our cash and cash equivalents with a high credit quality financial institution. We maintain United States Dollars. We minimize its credit risks associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution.
Financial instruments
Our financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and notes payable. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying financial statements approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term nature or the underlying terms are consistent with market terms. It is the management’s opinion that we are not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Fair value measurements
We follow the guidelines in ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. Fair value is defined 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, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we 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.
We apply the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. All financial instruments approximate their fair value.
Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets. | ||
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities | ||
Level 3—inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models. |
Convertible Notes with Fixed Rate Conversion Options
We may enter into convertible notes, some of which contain, predominantly, fixed rate conversion features, whereby the outstanding principal and accrued interest may be converted by the holder, into common shares at a fixed discount to the market price of the common stock at the time of conversion. This results in a fair value of the convertible note being available.equal to a fixed monetary amount. We record the convertible note liability at its fixed monetary amount by measuring and recording a premium, as applicable, on the Note date with a charge to interest expense in accordance with ASC 480 - “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”.
Derivative Liabilities
We have certain financial instruments that are derivatives or contain embedded derivatives. We evaluate all our financial instruments to determine if those contracts or any potential embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivatives to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC 810-10-05-4 and 815-40. This accounting treatment requires that the carrying amount of any derivatives be recorded at fair value at issuance and marked-to-market at each balance sheet date. In the event that the fair value is recorded as a liability, as is the case with us, the change in the fair value during the period is recorded as either other income or expense. Upon conversion, exercise or repayment, the respective derivative liability is marked to fair value at the conversion, repayment or exercise date and then the related fair value amount is reclassified to other income or expense as part of gain or loss on extinguishment.
F-10 |
Advertising and promotion costs
We follow ASC 720 “Advertising Costs” and expenses costs as incurred.
Stock based compensation
We follow the guideline under ASC 718, “Stock Compensation”. The standard provides that for all stock-based compensation plans, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights, which requires that all share-based payments to both employees and directors be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. For non-employees stock-based compensation, We apply ASC 505 Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees. This standard provides that all stock-based compensation related to non-employees be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever can be most reliably be measured or determinable.
Comprehensive income
ASC Topic 220, “Comprehensive Income”, establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. Accumulated other comprehensive income, as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity, consists of changes in unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation. This comprehensive income is not included in the computation of income tax expense or benefit.
Net Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in our earnings (loss). Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the loss available to stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period and dilutive potential shares outstanding unless such dilutive potential shares would result in anti-dilution. As of December 31, 2021, no options were outstanding and 17,365,033 and was convertible into 866,192,064 shares of Common Stock. We issued shares of Preferred Stock that may be converted into our Common Stock. Of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock as of December 31, 2021, Series A Preferred Stock was convertible into Common shares. Series D Preferred Stock was convertible into Common shares, Series E-1 Preferred Stock was convertible into Common shares and Series H Preferred Stock was convertible into Common shares. The total potentially dilutive shares calculated are . It should be noted that contractually the limitations on the third-party notes (and the related warrants) limit the number of shares converted to either 4.99% or 9.99% of the then outstanding shares. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, potentially dilutive securities consisted of the following: warrants were outstanding and exercisable. Additionally, as of December 31, 2021, the outstanding principal balance, including accrued interest of the third-party convertible debt, totaled $

F-11 |
Business Combinations
In accordance with ASC 805-10, “Business Combinations”, we account for all business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, assets and liabilities, including any remaining non-controlling interests, are recognized at fair value at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests is recognized as goodwill. Certain adjustments to the assessed fair values of the assets, liabilities, or non-controlling interests made subsequent to the acquisition date, but within the measurement period, which is up to one year, are recorded as adjustments to goodwill. Any adjustments subsequent to the measurement period are recorded in income. Any cost or equity method interest that we hold in the acquired company prior to the acquisition is re-measured to fair value at acquisition with a resulting gain or loss recognized in income for the difference between fair value and the existing book value. Results of operations of the acquired entity are included in our results from the date of the acquisition onward and include amortization expense arising from acquired tangible and intangible assets.
Credit losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 326, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses”. The ASU sets forth a “current expected credit loss” (CECL) model which requires us to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Recently, the FASB issued the final ASU to delay adoption for smaller reporting companies to calendar year 2023. We are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its financial statements.
Related Party Transactions
We follow FASB ASC subtopic 850-10, “Related Party Transactions”, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Pursuant to ASC 850-10-20, related parties include: a) our affiliates; b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d) our principal owners; e) our management; f) other parties with which we may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
Material related party transactions are required to be disclosed in the consolidated financial statements, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of consolidated or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which statements of operation are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which statements of operations are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.
Discontinued operations
Discontinued operations are components of an entity that either have been disposed or abandoned or is classified as held for sale. Additionally, in order to qualify as a discontinued operation, the disposal or abandonment must represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results.
Income taxes
We follow the guideline under ASC Topic 740 Income Taxes. “Accounting for Income Taxes” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates, applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Due to the uncertainty regarding our future profitability, the future tax benefits of its losses have been fully reserved.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
We adopt new pronouncements relating to generally accepted accounting principles applicable to us as they are issued, which may be in advance of their effective date.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt-Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The new ASU addresses issuer’s accounting for certain modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options. This amendment is effective for all entities, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this new guidance will have on its financial statements
We do not believe that any other recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Note 6 Goodwill
Due to a sustained decline in the market capitalization of our Common Stock during the fourth quarter of 2021, we performed an interim goodwill impairment test. Management considered that, along with other possible factors affecting the assessment of our operations for the purposes of performing a goodwill impairment assessment, including management assumptions about expected future revenue forecasts and discount rates, changes in the overall economy, trends in the stock price, estimated control premium, other operating conditions, and the effect of changes in estimates and assumptions that could materially affect the determination of fair value and goodwill. As a result of the significant decline in the current market capitalization despite any of the other positive factors contemplated and relatively little change in our ongoing business operations, the outcome of this goodwill impairment test resulted in a charge for the impairment of goodwill of $4,224,962 recorded in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

[a] | On February 17, 2021, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with funds affiliated with Arena Investors LP (the “Investors”) pursuant to which it issued two convertible notes having an aggregate principal amount of $16,500,000 for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000,000 (collectively, the “Notes”). In connection with the issuance of the Notes, we issued to the Investors Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 192,073,017 shares of our Common Stock (collectively, the “Warrants”) and 1,000 shares of Series F Preferred Stock that convert into 192,073,017 shares of our Common Stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock”). The Warrants and Series F Preferred Stock were each valued at $864,000 based on a $ price per share of our Common Stock and treated as a debt discount this is amortized over the term of the Notes. |
a) Year endThe Notes 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 default. Interest is payable in cash on a quarterly basis beginning on March 31, 2021. Notwithstanding the above, at our election, any interest payable on an applicable payment date may be paid in registered shares of our Common Stock 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 volume-weighted average price of our Common Stock for the five (5) days immediately preceding the date of conversion. At December 31, 2021 accrued and unpaid interest was $453,750.
On September 24, 2021, the Company and the Investors amended the Notes and related closing documents, by executing the Limited Waiver and First Amendment the closing documents (“the amendment”). The Companyamendment also waived specified events of default. The Notes are henceforth convertible at any time, at the holder’s option, into shares of our Common Stock at a price of $ per share, subject to default event adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Conversion price in effect shall be equal to the alternate conversion price. If at any time the conversion price as determined hereunder for any conversion would be less than the par value of the Common Stock, then at the sole discretion of the Holder, the conversion price hereunder may equal such par value for such conversion and the conversion amount for such conversion may be increased to include Additional Principal, where Additional Principal means such additional amount to be added to the principal amount of this Note to the extent necessary to cause the number of conversion shares issuable upon such conversion to equal the same number of conversion shares as would have been issued had the conversion price not been adjusted by the Holder to the par value 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 our issuance of our Common Stock or common stock equivalents at an effective price per share lower than the conversion price then in effect. We may not redeem the Notes.
As part of the agreement with the Investors, we issued 192,073,017 Warrants. On September 24, 2021, we and the Investor amended the warrant agreement such that each Warrant is exercisable for a period of five (5) years from the date of issuance at an initial exercise price equal to $ per share, 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 Holder may be eligible for cashless exercise.
The Series F Preferred Stock has electedno voting rights and shall convert into 4.9% of our issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock on a fully diluted basis upon Common Shareholder Approval. The Series F Preferred Stock was converted and 192,073,017 common shares were issued on October 11, 2021.
The Investors have contractually agreed to restrict their ability to exercise the Warrants and convert the Notes such that the number of shares of our Common Stock held by the Investors and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 9.99% of our then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

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’sour management, with the participation of theour Chief Executive Officer, who also serves as our Principal Financial and the Chief FinancialAccounting Officer, of the effectiveness of Madison’sour 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, 2017.2021. 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’sour management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that Madison’sour 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 haswe 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’sOur internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of Madison’sour Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Madison’sour 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 | |
● | 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 |
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.
Madison Technologies Inc. | Form 10-K - 2021 | Page 33 |
Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’sour internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017,2021, based on criteria established inInternal Control –Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”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’sour annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
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’sour 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 Officerand communicated to management in connection with the preparation and audit of itsour financial statements as of December 31, 20172020 and communicated the matters to management.preparation of our 2021 quarterly financial statements.
As a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described above, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2017, Madison’s2021, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on the criteria inInternal Control – Integrated Frameworkissued by COSO.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2), (3) and (4) above did not have an effect on Madison’sour financial results. However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on Madison’sour 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 isWe are committed to improving its financial organization. As part of this commitment and when funds are available, Madisonwe 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 theour audit committee, of Madison resulting in a fully functioning audit committee whothat 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’sour 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 Madisonour internal controls if personnel turn-over issues within the department occur. This, coupled with the appointment of additional outside directors, willis designed to greatly decrease any control and procedure issues Madisonwe may encounter in the future.
Management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of Madison’sour 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’sOur independent auditors have not issued an attestation report on management’s assessment of Madison’sour internal control over financial reporting. As a result, this annual report does not include an attestation report of Madison’sour independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Madison wasWe are not required to have, nor has Madison,have we, engaged itsour 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 Madisonus to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Falcone (collectively, the “HCP Parties”), in connection with two civil actions previously filed against the HCP Parties by the SEC. One civil action alleged that Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations GP, LLC, Harbinger Capital Partners Offshore Manager, L.L.C., and Mr. Falcone violated the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws by engaging in market manipulation in connection with the trading of the debt securities of a particular issuer from 2006 to 2008.

Madison Technologies Inc. | Form 10-K - 2021 | Page 36 |
The Final Judgment barred and enjoined Mr. Falcone for a period of five years (after which he may seek to have the bar and injunction lifted) from acting as or being an associated person of any “broker,” “dealer,” “investment adviser,” “municipal securities dealer,” “municipal adviser,” “transfer agent,” or “nationally recognized statistical rating organization.” During the period of the bar, Mr. Falcone may remain associated with Harbinger Capital and certain other Harbinger Capital-related entities; provided that, during such time, Mr. Falcone’s association will be limited as set forth in the Final Judgment. The HCP Parties must take all actions reasonably necessary to expeditiously satisfy all redemption requests of investors in the Harbinger Capital-related funds, which may include the orderly disposition of Harbinger Capital-related fund assets. In addition, during the bar period, the HCP Parties and certain Harbinger Capital-related entities may not raise new capital or make capital calls from existing investors. The Final Judgment required the HCP Parties to pay disgorgement, prejudgment interest, and civil penalties totaling approximately $18 million.

Any other activities related solely to FGL (other than FGL NY Insurance) are not prohibited and HRG executives may continue to serve on FGL’s board of directors. In addition, in connection with its re-domestication to Iowa, on October 7, 2013, Fidelity & Guaranty Life Insurance Company (“FGL Insurance”), a subsidiary of FGL, agreed to the conditions set by the Iowa Insurance Commissioner that neither Mr. Falcone nor any employees of Harbinger Capital may serve as an officer or director of FGL Insurance or FGL (but FGL Insurance may request that the Iowa Insurance Division lift this restriction after five years) and neither Mr. Falcone nor Harbinger Capital will be involved in making investment decisions for FGL Insurance or any funds withheld account that supports credit for reinsurance for FGL Insurance for five years.

We understand that Mr. Falcone continues to vigorously pursue his defense in connection with these matters, which may be time consuming and may result in the loss of certain shares of his investment in us.
(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 Madisonus to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership (Form 3) and reports of changes in ownership of our equity securities of the Company (Form 4 and Form 5) and to provide copies of all such Forms as filed to Madison.us.

Madison hasWe have no financial expert. Management believes the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive.
