The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial
statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
GENERAL
Overview
We, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Sovryn Holdings, Inc. ("Sovryn"), have
embarked on an acquisition strategy, rolling-up un-affiliated Class A/LPTV TV
stations in the top 100 DMA's (Designated Market Areas) with a goal of building
out a nationwide platform through one or more station acquisitions per DMA. Each
licensed TV station can broadcast between 10 and 12 and potentially more revenue
"streams" of content ("channels") over-the-air, 24 hours per day/7 days per
week. Management's strategy is to stage the acquisitions focusing on DMA's 1-30
and expanding thereafter on DMA's 31-100, acquiring one station per DMA and
building a portfolio of 100 stations within 18-24 months. Management has
currently identified and held discussions with a number stations owners, has
received FCC approval for two acquisitions: (i) KNLA/KNET, a Class A television
station in Los Angeles, and (ii) KVVV, a low power television station in Houston
and has entered into asset purchase agreements for the following television
stations: (i) KYMU-LD, a low power television station in Seattle (ii) W27EB, a
Class A television station in Chicago (iii) KPHE-LB, a low power television
station in Phoenix and (iv) KVSD-LD, a low power station in San Diego. We have
also signed non-binding letters of intent to acquire stations in New York in
Miami, Atlanta, Tampa and St. Louis and has also entered into a binding LOI to
acquire Top Dog Productions, Inc., a television production company d/b/a "The
Jay & Tony Show", which produces content for third party networks.
Madison's objective is to not only create one the largest, most comprehensive,
state of the art, broadcast Over-The-Air ("OTA") content distribution platforms
to capitalize on the changing media and distribution landscape and on the
growing OTA viewership in the U.S. but also embark on unique content development
and network creation for distribution over its platform. The over-the-air
programming carried on these stations is initially expected to include
entertainment, shopping, weather, sports as well as religious networks and
networks targeting select ethnic groups with lease agreements as the prime
source of revenue. Pricing of lease agreements is in part determined by market
rank, signal contour and number of OTA TV households in a given market, as well
as supply and demand.
-26-
As the platform is built out, management not only anticipates substantial
operational synergies from the roll-up but also an expansion in the revenue base
with greater channel utilization, the addition of high-quality third-party
content providers that are currently not reaching the "OTA" viewers, which now
stands at an estimated 20mm households (44mm people) out of 108mm TV HH's
nationwide as well as revenue generated via the acquisition of "The Jay & Tony
Show"
Station Operations
Madison's plan is to acquire 50 independent TV stations in the top 30 DMA's over
the next 8-12 months. In addition, Madison expects to grow the station base to
100 tv stations nationwide through additional acquisitions targeting the top 100
DMA's across the nation, ultimately covering 80% of the population of the U.S.
over the next 18-24 months.
Each licensed TV station has the capability of delivering 10+ different revenue
"streams" (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 Sovryn the potential to stream
content upon completion of the roll-up to over 2500 channels aggregated over
expected 100 stations.
Madison will 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 need for full time employees and studio
facilities operating Class A and Low Power stations allowing for greater cost
efficiency.
Recent Developments
On February 16, 2021, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Share
Exchange Agreement") with Sovryn Holdings, Inc. ("Sovryn") and the holders (the
"Sovryn Shareholders") of Sovryn's issued and outstanding shares of common
stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Sovryn Common Shares"), pursuant to which
the Shareholders exchanged 100% of the outstanding Sovryn Common Shares, for (i)
100 shares of series B preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Series B
Preferred Stock"), of the Company which was transferred by Jeffrey Canouse, the
Company's controlling shareholder and existing Chief Executive Officer (the
"Controlling Shareholder"), to the designee of Sovryn and (ii) 1,000 shares of
series E convertible preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share of Sovryn
("Series E Preferred Stock," and together with Series B Preferred Stock, the
"Preferred Exchange Shares," and the foregoing exchange of Sovryn Common Shares
for Preferred Exchange Shares being the "Equity Exchange").
Upon the effectiveness of an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to
increase the Company's authorized common stock, par value $0.0001 per share,
from 500,000,000 shares to 6,000,000,000 shares, all shares of Series E
Preferred Stock issued to the Shareholders shall automatically convert into
approximately 2,305,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company ("Shareholder
Approval"). The Series E Convertible Preferred Stock votes on an as-converted
basis with the common stock prior to their conversion. The Series E Preferred
Stock shall represent approximately 57% of the fully-diluted shares of common
stock of the Company after the closing of the transactions contemplated by the
Securities Purchase Agreement (as defined below).
Immediately prior to the closing of, and as a condition to, the Share Exchange
Agreement, the Company entered into a Share Transfer Agreement (the "Share
Transfer Agreement"), pursuant to which the Controlling Shareholder transferred
all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by him to an entity
controlled by Philip Falcone, the Company's new chief executive officer. The
Series B Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof to majority voting control
of the Company by virtue of the 51% super voting rights attributed to the holder
of the Series B Preferred Stock. The Controlling Shareholder owned all 100
Shares of Series B Preferred Stock, entitling him to 51% of the aggregate votes
taken by shareholders of any class on all matters being voted upon.
-27-
Immediately prior to the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, we entered
into Exchange Agreements (the "Convertible Note Exchange Agreements") with the
holders of our outstanding convertible promissory notes (the "Convertible
Notes"). Pursuant to Convertible Note Exchange Agreements, the holders of the
Convertible Notes were issued, in exchange for their Convertible Notes, a total
of 230,000 shares of our newly-designated Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.
Our new Series D Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock at
a ratio of 1,000 shares of common stock for each share of preferred stock held.
Immediately prior to the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, we entered
into Exchange Agreements (the "Preferred Stock Exchange Agreements" and together
with the Convertible Note Exchange Agreements, the "Exchange Agreements") with
the holders of our outstanding series A convertible preferred stock (the "Series
A Preferred Stock"). Pursuant to the Preferred Stock Exchange Agreements, the
holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were issued, in exchange for
their Series A Preferred Stock, options to purchase a majority of the
outstanding shares of common stock of a newly to be formed wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company to be called CZJ License, Inc.
On February 17, 2021, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with funds
affiliated with Arena Investors LP (the "Investors") pursuant to which the
company issued convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount of $16.5
million for an aggregate purchase price of $15 million (collectively, the
"Notes"). In connection with the issuance of the Notes, we issued to the
Investors warrants to purchase an aggregate of 192,073,017 shares of Common
Stock (collectively, the "Warrants") and 1,000 shares of series F convertible
preferred stock (the "Series F Preferred Stock").
The Notes each have a term of thirty-six months and mature on February 17, 2023,
unless earlier converted. The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 11% per annum,
subject to increase to 20% per annum upon and during the occurrence of an event
of default. Interest is payable in cash on a quarterly basis beginning on March
31, 2021. Notwithstanding the above, at the Company's election, any interest
payable on an applicable payment date may be paid in registered Common Stock of
the Company (rather than cash) in an amount equal (A) the amount of the interest
payment due on such date, divided by (B) an amount equal to 80% of the average
VWAP of the Common Stock for the five (5) days immediately preceding the date of
conversion.
The Notes are convertible at any time, at the holder's option, into shares of
our common stock equal to the lesser of: (i) the amount determined by dividing
(A) $50,000,000, by (B) the total number of shares of preferred stock, Common
Stock and Common Stock Equivalents outstanding on such Conversion Date (assuming
full conversion or exercise of all then issued and outstanding securities of the
Company that are exercisable for or convertible into such equity securities of
the Company) and (ii) $1.00, subject to adjustment (the "Conversion Price"),
subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations (with a maximum ownership
limit of 9.99%). The conversion price is also subject to adjustment due to
certain events, including stock dividends, stock splits and in connection with
the issuance by the Company of common stock or common stock equivalents at an
effective price per share lower than the conversion price then in effect.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time during the continuance of any Event
of Default, the Conversion Price in effect shall be equal to 75% of the average
VWAP of the Common Stock for the five (5) Trading Days on the Trading Market
immediately preceding the date of conversion (the Alternative Conversion
Price"); provided, however, that the Alternate Conversion Price may not exceed
$0.015 per share, as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Notes. The conversion
price is also subject to adjustment due to certain events, including stock
dividends, stock splits and in connection with the issuance by the Company of
common stock or common stock equivalents at an effective price per share lower
than the conversion price then in effect. The Notes may not be redeemed by the
Company.
Each Warrant is exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance
at an initial exercise price to (i) 125%, times (ii) the amount determined by
dividing (A) $50,000,000, by (B) the total number of shares of preferred stock,
Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents outstanding on such Conversion Date
(assuming full conversion or exercise of all then issued and outstanding
securities of the Company that are exercisable for or convertible into such
equity securities of the Company), subject to adjustment herein, subject to
certain beneficial ownership limitations (with a maximum ownership limit of
9.99%). The exercise price is also subject to adjustment due to certain events,
including stock dividends, stock splits and recapitalizations.
The Series F Preferred Stock have no voting rights and shall convert into
approximately 192,073,017 shares of common stock upon Shareholder Approval.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

might be necessary should we be unable to continue in operation. We expect we

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and Working Capital
As at June 30, 2021, Madison had cash of $5,640,797 and a working capital
surplus of $4,674,593, compared to cash of $9,491 and working capital deficit of
$100,141 as at December 31, 2020.
We will require additional capital to meet our long-term operating requirements.
We expect to raise additional capital through the sale of equity and/or debt
securities; however, there is no assurance that we will be successful at raising
additional capital in the future. If our plans are not achieved and/or if
significant unanticipated events occur, we may have to further modify our
business plan, which may require us to raise additional capital. As of June 30,
2021, our principal source of liquidity was our cash, which totaled $14,412,892
and additional loans and accrued unreimbursed expenses from related parties.
Historically, our principal sources of cash have included proceeds from the sale
of common stock and preferred stock and related party loans. Our principal uses
of cash have included cash used in operations. We expect that the principal uses

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