Product and Services

 

Tuffy Packs manufactures a line of custom inserts that provide a level of personal protection from ballistic threats similar to what law enforcement officers wear daily as bullet proof vests. The Tuffy Pack, LLC Ballistic Shields® conform to the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Level IIIA threat requirements. NIJ is the research, development and evaluation agency of the U.S. Department of Justice. NIJ Standard–0101.06, “Ballistic Resistance of Body Armor,” is a minimum performance standard developed in collaboration with the Office of Law Enforcement Standards (OLES) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It is produced as part of the Standards and Testing Program of the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), Office of Justice Programs, U.S. Department of Justice. This standard is a technical document that specifies the minimum performance requirements that equipment must meet to satisfy the requirements of criminal justice agencies and the methods that shall be used to test this performance. This standard is used by the NIJ Voluntary Compliance Testing Program (CTP) to determine which body armor models meet the minimum performance requirements for inclusion on the NIJ Compliant Products List.

 

 
Form 8-K Madison Technologies Inc. Page 4

 

Personal body armor covered by this standard is classified into five types (IIA, II, IIIA, III, IV) by level of ballistic performance. In addition, a special test class is defined to allow armor to be validated against threats that may not be covered by the five standard classes. The classification for the Tuffy Pack product line states;

 

2.3 Type IIIA (.357 SIG; .44 Magnum) Type IIIA armor that is new and unworn shall be tested with .357 SIG FMJ Flat Nose (FN) bullets with a specified mass of 8.1 g (125 gr) and a velocity of 448 m/s ± 9.1 m/s (1470 ft/s ± 30 ft/s) and with .44 Magnum Semi Jacketed Hollow Point (SJHP) bullets with a specified mass of 15.6 g (240 gr) and a velocity of 436 m/s ± 9.1 m/s (1430 ft/s ± 30 ft/s). Type IIIA armor that has been conditioned shall be tested with .357 SIG FMJ FN bullets with a specified mass of 8.1 g (125 gr) and a velocity of 430 m/s ± 9.1 m/s (1410 ft/s ± 30 ft/s) and with .44 Magnum SJHP bullets with a specified mass of 15.6 g (240 gr) and a velocity of 408 m/s ± 9.1 m/s (1340 ft/s ± 30 ft/s).

 

The ballistic shields (collectively, the “ Licensed Products ”) when inserted into backpacks, briefcases or computer bags will provide the highest level of protection currently available as lightweight concealable body armor. Backpacks with ballistic protection weigh only 16 – 24 ounces more than a non-protected pack (based on the pack size).

Markets

 

Madison sales strategy is to develop online exposure through the use of social media marketing and sending demo packs of the Licensed Products to both online bloggers and established gun owner clubs. The demo packs will include both new products as well as examples of the products that have been tested and exposed to gunfire.

 

Madison also intends to attend European tradeshows and exhibits, including, but not limited to, IDEF (International Defense Industry Fair), ITEC, and GREC (General Police Equipment & Exhibition Conference). These trade shows will assist in introducing the Licensed Products to wholesalers in an attempt to expand Madison’s sales channel.

 

Distribution Methods

 

Madison’s distribution method is to deliver the Licensed Products into the European and UK retail and wholesale markets via the use of online market and 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.

 

Management expects to implement Madison’s sales distribution strategy beginning in September 2016 and to be operational by December 2016, this includes the following components:

 

  1. Web design with an estimated cost of $4,000
     
  2. Initial inventory with an estimated cost of $10,000
     
  3. Social media and online advertising of $10,000
     
  4. Payments to be made under Product License Agreement of $50,000

 

Status of Licensed Products

 

The Licensed Products will be supplied exclusively by Tuffy Packs, LLC. Tuffy Packs, LLC already has an established supply chain and is able to supply up to 10,000 units per month. Management believes this monthly supply of Licensed Products will be sufficient for Madison’s anticipated inventory requirements.

 

Competitive Conditions

 

Madison will be competing with other online retail companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities than Madison in connection with the sale of similar products. Many of the competitors have a very diverse portfolio and have not confined their market to one product or line of products, but offer a wide array of products. All of these competitors have been in business for longer than Madison and may have established more strategic partnerships and relationships than Madison.

 

Management believes that it will have a competitive advantage over its competitors due to its plan of operations.

 

Madison has identified numerous body armour 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 fulfilment 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.

 

 
Form 8-K Madison Technologies Inc. Page 6

 

Madison has also identified several online retailers that are located in either the UK or Europe that supply products that management believes would be in direct competition with Madison’s business. Some of those competitors include, but not limited to, the following:

 

  Vestgaurd - a UK based supplies the very best in British manufactured ballistic protection systems for personal and vehicle protection to the public and private sectors.
   
  Mars Armor - a Bulgarian company specialized in the manufacture of body armor for protection against bullets, fragments and cold steel.
   
  Spycatcher Online - a UK based supplier of specialist surveillance, counter-surveillance and personal protection equipment to the professional and consumer market.
   
  Jack Ellis Body Protection - a UK based manufacturer in the personal protection market with clients including - UK and Foreign government organisations, special forces, police, prisons, private security and media.

 

Raw Materials and Equipment

 

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Madison’s financial statements have been prepared assuming that it 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 Madison be unable to continue in operation. Management expects Madison will require additional capital to meet its long term operating requirements.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

 

Madison used cash of $20,833 in operating activities during the first six months of fiscal 2016 compared to cash used of $25,838 in operating activities during the same period in the previous fiscal year. The decrease in the operating activities was principally a result of a decrease in accounts payable and accruals.

Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $21,000 for the first six months of fiscal 2016. Madison generated $25,000 from financing activities during the first six months of fiscal 2015 from the proceeds of a note 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.

 

Management expects to implement Madison’s sales distribution strategy beginning in September 2016 and to be operational by December 2016, this includes the following components:

 

  1. Web design with an estimated cost of $4,000
     
  2. Initial inventory with an estimated cost of $10,000
     
  3. Social media and online advertising of $10,000
     

Payments to be made under Product License Agreement of $50,000

 

Madison sales strategy is to develop online exposure through the use of social media marketing and sending demo packs of the Licensed Products to both online bloggers and established gun owner clubs. The demo packs will include both new products as well as examples of the products that have been tested and exposed to gunfire to demonstrate the products effectiveness.

 

 
Form 8-K Madison Technologies Inc. Page 9

 

In addition to the costs associated to Madison’s sales and distribution strategy, management anticipates incurring the following expenses during the next 12 month period:

 

  Management anticipates spending approximately $2,500 in ongoing general and administrative expenses per month for the next 12 months, for a total anticipated expenditure of $30,000 over the next 12 months. The general and administrative expenses for the year will consist primarily of professional fees for the audit and legal work relating to Madison’s regulatory filings throughout the year, as well as transfer agent fees, annual mineral claim fees and general office expenses.
     
  Management anticipates spending approximately $15,000 in complying with Madison’s obligations as a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and as a reporting issuer in Canada. These expenses will consist primarily of professional fees relating to the preparation of Madison’s financial statements and completing and filing its annual report, quarterly report, and current report filings with the SEC and with SEDAR in Canada.

 

As at June 30, 2016, Madison had cash of $618 and a working capital deficit of $270,697. Accordingly, Madison will require additional financing in the amount of $315,079 in order to fund its obligations as a reporting company under the Securities Act of 1934 and its general and administrative expenses for the next 12 months.

 

During the 12 month period following the date of this report, management anticipates that Madison may not generate adequate revenue to cover its expenses. Accordingly, Madison will be required to obtain additional financing in order to continue its plan of operations. Management believes that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding Madison’s plan of operations as it does not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing. Rather management anticipates that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of Madison’s common stock. However, Madison does not have any financing arranged and cannot provide investors with any assurance that it will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of its common stock to fund its plan of operations. In the absence of such financing, Madison will not be able to implement its sales and marketing strategy and its business plan will fail. If Madison does not continue to obtain additional financing, it will be forced to abandon its business and plan of operations.

 

Madison has not attained profitable operations and is dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive business activities. For these reasons Madison’s auditors stated in their report that they have substantial doubt Madison will be able to continue as a going concern.

 

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Madison has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Form 8-K Madison Technologies Inc. Page 12

 

(f) Nomination Procedure for Directors

Madison has not adopted a policy that permits shareholders to recommend candidates for election as directors or a process for shareholders to send communications to the board of directors.

 

(g) Audit Committee Financial Expert

 

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

Madison does not have a separately-designated standing audit committee. Rather, Madison’s entire board of directors performs the required functions of an audit committee.

Since Madison’s inception, no stock options, stock appreciation rights, or long-term incentive plans have been granted, exercised or repriced.

 

Currently, there are no arrangements between Madison and any of its directors whereby such directors are compensated for any services provided as directors.

 

There are no employment agreements between Madison and any named executive officer, and there are no employment agreements or other compensating plans or arrangements with regard to any named executive officer which provide for specific compensation in the event of resignation, retirement, other termination of employment or from a change of control of Madison or from a change in a named executive officer’s responsibilities following a change in control.

 

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

 

Madison does not have a standing compensation committee nor a compensation committee charter. The functions of a compensation committee are currently assumed by the Board of Directors. During the last fiscal year both Joseph Gallo and Frank McEnulty were the only two officers of Madison who would have had authority to participate in the deliberation of the Board of Directors concerning executive officer compensation. However, no deliberations were made concerning executive officer compensation during Madison’s last fiscal year.

 

Item 7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

 

(a) Transactions with Related Persons

 

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

 

(b) Director independence

 

Madison’s board of directors currently consists of Thomas Brady. Pursuant to Item 407(a)(1)(ii) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act, Madison’s board of directors has adopted the definition of “independent director” as set forth in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Manual. In summary, an “independent director” means a person other than an executive officer or employee of Madison or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of Madison’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, and includes any director who accepted any compensation from Madison in excess of $200,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months with the three past fiscal years. Also, the ownership of Madison’s stock will not preclude a director from being independent.

 

 
Form 8-K Madison Technologies Inc. Page 14

  

In applying this definition, Madison’s board of directors has determined that Mr. Brady does not qualify as an “independent director” pursuant to Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Manual.

 

As of the date of the report, Madison did not maintain a separately designated compensation or nominating committee. Madison has also adopted this definition for the independence of the members of its audit committee. Thomas Brady serves on Madison’s audit committee. Madison’s board of directors has determined that Mr. Brady is not “independent” for purposes of Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Manual, applicable to audit, compensation and nominating committee members, and is “independent” for purposes of Section 10A(m)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act.

 

Item 8. Legal Proceedings.

 

Madison is not a party to any pending legal proceedings and, to the best of Madison’s knowledge, none of Madison’s property or assets are the subject of any pending legal proceedings.

 

Item 9. Market Price of and Dividends on the Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.

As of the date of this report, Madison has 10 promissory notes outstanding totalling $241,000, all of which are convertible into shares of Madison’s Common Stock. All the notes are non-interest bearing, unsecured and payable on demand. The notes are convertible into Common Stock at the discretion of the holder on seven different conversion rates:

 

 
Form 8-K Madison Technologies Inc. Page 15

 

  a. $20,000 convertible at $0.005 per share (4,000,000 shares of Common Stock)
     
  b. $110,000 convertible at $0.01 per share (11,000,000 shares of Common Stock)
     
  c. $45,000 convertible at $0.04 per share (1,125,000 shares of Common Stock)
     
  d. $20,000 convertible at $0.045 per share (444,445 shares of Common Stock)
     
  e. $21,000 convertible at $0.05 per share (420,000 shares of Common Stock)
     
  f. $25,000 convertible at $0.15 per share (166,667 shares of Common Stock)

 

If all 10 convertible promissory notes are converted Madison will be required to issue a total of 17,156,112 shares of Common Stock as payment in full for the outstanding debts.

 

(e) Holders of Record

 

Madison has approximately 14 holders of record of Madison’s Common Stock as of September 20, 2016 according to a shareholders’ list provided by Madison’s transfer agent as of that date. The number of registered shareholders does not include any estimate by Madison of the number of beneficial owners of Common Stock held in street name. The transfer agent for Madison’s Common Stock is Pacific Stock Transfer, 4045 South Spencer Street, Suite 403, Las Vegas, Nevada 89119 and their telephone number is (702) 361-3033 .

 

As a result of the Product License Agreement, there will be no effect (a) on the amount or percentage of present holdings of Madison’s Common Stock owned beneficially by (1) any person who is the beneficial owner of more than 5% of Madison’s Common Stock, and (2) each director and officer of Madison, and (3) all directors and officers as a group, and (b) on Madison’s present commitment to such persons with respect to the issuance of shares of any class of its Common Stock.

 

(f) Dividends

 

Madison has declared no dividends on its Common Stock, and is not subject to any restrictions that limit its ability to pay dividends on its shares of Common Stock. Dividends are declared at the sole discretion of Madison’s Board of Directors.

 

(g) Penny Stock Rules

 

Trading in Madison’s Common Stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules. The SEC has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These rules require that any broker-dealer who recommends Madison’s Common Stock to persons other than prior customers and accredited investors, must, prior to the sale, make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to execute the transaction. Unless an exception is available, the regulations require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with trading in the penny stock market. In addition, broker-dealers must disclose commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities they offer. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in Madison’s securities, which could severely limit their market price and liquidity of Madison’s securities. The application of the “penny stock” rules may affect your ability to resell Madison’s securities.

 

Item 10. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

There have been no sales of unregistered securities within the last three years that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 701 of Regulation S-K.

 

Item 11. Description of Registrant’s Securities.

 

General

 

Madison’s authorized capital stock consists of 500,000,000 shares of common stock at a par value of $0.001 per share.

 

 
Form 8-K Madison Technologies Inc. Page 16

 

Common Stock

 

As at the date of this report, 11,302,000 shares of Common Stock are issued and outstanding and owned by 14 shareholders of record. All of the shares of Common Stock have been validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable.

 

Holders of Madison’s Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Holders of Common Stock do have cumulative voting rights for the purpose of electing directors. Therefore, holders of a majority of the Common Stock voting for the election of directors do not necessarily have the ability to elect all of the directors. Subject to proper nomination and notice of intent, every Holder entitled to vote at an election for directors may cumulate their votes and give one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes the Holder can cast. Holders of a majority of Common Stock issued and outstanding, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of Madison’s stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of Madison’s outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to Madison’s Articles of Incorporation.

 

Holders of Common Stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. Holders of Madison’s Common Stock have no preemptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to Madison’s Common Stock.

 

Nevada Anti-Takeover Laws

 

The provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) sections 78.378 to 78.3793 apply to any acquisition of a controlling interest in an certain type of Nevada corporation known as an “Issuing Corporation”, unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation in effect on the 10 th day following the acquisition of a controlling interest by an acquiring person provide that the provisions of those sections do not apply to the corporation, or to an acquisition of a controlling interest specifically by types of existing or future stockholders, whether or not identified.

 

Item 12. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

As permitted by Nevada law, Madison’s Articles of Incorporation provide that it will indemnify Madison’s directors and officers against expenses and liabilities they incur to defend, settle or satisfy any civil or criminal action brought against them on account of their being or having been directors or officers of Madison, unless, in any such action, they are adjudged to have acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

Item 13. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

 

Reference is made to the filings by Madison on Forms 10-K and 10-Q for Madison’s Financial Statements.

 

There are no other financial statements or pro forma financial information required to be filed with this report as the Product License Agreement does not represent a reverse merger or similar transaction or a business combination transaction. Instead, the Product License Agreement represents a transaction outside Madison’s ordinary course of business and one that represents more than 10% of Madison’s total assets.

 

Item 14. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

 

There are no changes in and disagreements with Madison’s accountants on accounting and financial disclosure. Madison’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm since January 31, 2009 has been K.
