Quarterly Report
The following discussion of Madison's financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 should be read in conjunction with Madison's unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.
Forward Looking Statements
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including statements
regarding Madison's capital needs, business plans and expectations. Such
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties regarding Madison's
ability to carry out its planned exploration programs on its mineral properties.
Forward-looking statements are made, without limitation, in relation to
Madison's operating plans, Madison's liquidity and financial condition,
availability of funds, operating and exploration costs and the market in which
Madison competes. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of
historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. In some cases,
you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may",
"will", "should", "expect", "plan", "intend", "anticipate", "believe",
"estimate", "predict", "potential" or "continue", the negative of such terms or
other comparable terminology. Actual events or results may differ materially. In
evaluating these statements, you should consider various factors, including the
risks outlined below, and, from time to time, in other reports Madison files
with the SEC. These factors may cause Madison's actual results to differ
materially from any forward-looking statement. Madison disclaims any obligation
to publicly update these statements, or disclose any difference between its
actual results and those reflected in these statements. The information
constitutes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Given these uncertainties, readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
Plan of Operation
Madison was engaged in the business of diamond exploration in the Southern area of the Province of Saskatchewan, Canada. During the 2008 financial year, with the exception of two, all Madison's mineral claims expired. The two remaining claims expired on March 12, 2009.
Madison is currently evaluating mineral properties with the goal of identifying properties for acquisition. To date, Madison has not identified properties that it intends to acquire and has not entered into any agreements for the acquisition of any interest in a new mineral property.
During the next 12 months management plans on looking for, evaluating and acquiring an interest in a new mineral property. Madison has minimal finances and accordingly there is no assurance that it will be able to acquire an interest in any new mineral property. Management anticipates that Madison will have to complete additional financings in connection with the acquisition of any interest in a new mineral property. Currently, Madison has no arrangements for any financing required to fund its continued operations or the acquisition of any interest in a new mineral property.
Further, even if Madison is able to acquire an interest in a new mineral property, there is no assurance that it will be able to raise the financing necessary to complete exploration of the new mineral property. Based on Madison's financial position, there is no assurance that Madison will be able to continue its business operations.
Madison's viability and potential success lie in its ability to acquire, exploit, develop and generate revenue from future mineral properties. There can be no assurance that such revenues will be obtained. The exploration of mineral deposits involves significant financial risks over a long period of time, which, even with a combination of careful evaluations, experience and knowledge, may not be eliminated. It is impossible to ensure that proposed exploration programs will be successful. The inability of Madison to locate a viable mineral deposit will have a material adverse effect on its operations and could result in a total loss of its business.
º 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.
º 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, 2009, Madison had cash of $12,236 and a working capital deficit of $67,535. Accordingly, Madison will require additional financing in the amount of $100,299 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 will not generate any revenue. Accordingly, Madison will be required to obtain additional financing in order to continue its plan of operations. Management believes that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding Madison's plan of operations as it does not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing. Rather management anticipates that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of Madison's common stock. However, Madison does not have any financing arranged and cannot provide investors with any assurance that it will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of its common stock to fund its plan of operations. In the absence of such financing, Madison will not be able to acquire any interest in a new property and its business plan will fail. Even if Madison is successful in obtaining equity financing and acquire an interest in a new property, additional exploration on the mineral property will be required before a determination as to whether commercially exploitable mineralization is present. If Madison does not continue to obtain additional financing, it will be forced to abandon its business and plan of operations.
Risk Factors
An investment in Madison's common stock involves a number of very significant risks. Prospective investors should refer to all the risk factors disclosed in Madison's Form 10-K filed on April 15, 2009.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and Working Capital
As at June 30, 2009, Madison had cash of $12,236 and a working capital deficit of $159,714, compared to cash of $26,467 and working capital deficit of $141,364 as at December 31, 2008.
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 exploration programs and its business will fail.
The officers and directors have agreed to pay all costs and expenses of having Madison comply with the federal securities laws (and being a public company, should Madison be unable to do so). Madison's officers and directors have also agreed to pay the other expenses of Madison, excluding mineral property acquisition cost, those direct costs and expenses of data gathering and mineral exploration, should Madison be unable to do so.
If Madison is unable to raise additional funds to satisfy its reporting obligations, investors will no longer have access to current financial and other information about its business affairs.

Madison used cash of $15,798 in operating activities during the first six months of fiscal 2009 compared to cash used of $9,779 in operating activities during the same period in the previous fiscal year.

Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations
Madison is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this item.
Critical Accounting Policies
Madison's financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's application of accounting policies. Management believes that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of Madison's financial statements is critical to an understanding of Madison's financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. Madison regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the recovery of long-lived assets, donated expenses and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. Madison bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that management 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.
Investment Securities
Madison reports its investment in equity securities at cost, pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion 18 -"The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock" as the fair value of the investment is not readily determinable.
Madison periodically reviews these investments for other-than-temporary declines in fair value based on the specific identification method and writes down investments to their fair value when an other-than-temporary decline has occurred. When determining whether a decline is other-than-temporary, Madison examines (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value of an investment has been lower than its carrying value: (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the investee, including any specific events that may influence the operations of the investee such as changes in technology that may impair the earnings potential of the investee: and (iii) Madison's intent and ability to retain its investment in the investee for a sufficient period of time to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value. Management generally believes that an other-than-
Mineral Property Costs
Madison has been in the exploration stage since its inception on June 15, 1998 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized when incurred using the guidance in EITF 04-02, "Whether Mineral Rights Are Tangible or Intangible Assets". Madison assesses the carrying costs for impairment under SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets" at each fiscal quarter end. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.
