Glad to see my pick (IATV) included SW. Looks like many people have been doing their DD. I think the stock was in the 3's when I first mentioned it to the thread and it's now moved up in the 5's with some really nice volume. This company has tremendous potential and I'm going to stick around to see if they can execute their plans. BTW, did you go to this site and download the projections: bridgenyc.com ?

VGCP, I am hearing rumors that the company will soon unviel some very impressive and revolutionary technology. It could be extremely valuable and should bring lots of new interest to the company. From what I am hearing, it is a total surprise, not anything previously discussed on SI. Keep an eye on VGCP. RCJIII

Please give serious further consideration to MADI madisonsystemsinc.com Although the company is not actively soliciting major investment the following information is presented to enlighten corporations with the far reaching diverse uses of the The Centurion. Madison Systems Inc. is pleased to invite manufacturers in discussing systems integration with The Centurion. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Description: The "Centurion" Traded: NASDAQ Bulletin Board Symbol: MADI Total Shares Issued: 9,000,000 Shares Restricted: 5,000,000 Transfer Agent: OTC Stock Transfer, Salt Lake City, Utah Corporate Address: 25 Furbacher Lane, Unit 2, Aurora Ontario Began Trading as MADI: 10/27/97 Number of Shareholders: 500; Fiscal Year End: March 31 __________________________________________________________ OVERVIEW Madison Systems Inc., was incorporated for the purpose of manufacturing and marketing its patent pending Network Security Switching Device (the "Centurion") which is designed to prevent unauthorized access to corporate and government internal computer networks, known as intranets, from external sources. The Centurion is designed to secure a private computer network where access is gained to a computer on the network by way of a modem and telephone line. The Centurion incorporates a means of disconnecting the modem connection whenever the computer node is communicating with the network, and disconnecting the network connection of that computer node whenever it can communicate with an external computer via telephone modem. The device physically assures that one and only one of the modem connection and the network connection of a computer node is active at any one time thus preventing unauthorized access. Demand for the Centurion is being driven both by the frequency of unauthorized access to private networks and the collateral value attributable to improper access to government and industry confidential records, information, and trade secrets. The continued growth of private intranet networks which electronically interface with external networks, coupled with the notoriety of the security breaches of these networks being reported daily, has caused the marketplace to demand products which protect the confidentiality of their transactions and the integrity of their information technology infrastructure. The Centurion is a low cost and effective response to this demand, which protects against "back door" intrusion not fully addressed by other software based security products. MARKETING STRATEGY The Ernst & Young Security Report notes that in 1996, the U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO) estimated that military computer networks were attacked as many as 250,000 times and as many as 65% were successfully penetrated. Additionally, the U.S. Justice Department's World Wide Web home page was successfully altered by hackers to include swastikas, obscene pictures, and criticism of the Communications Decency Act. When finally captured by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, (FBI), world renown hacker Kevin Mitnick was in possession of millions of dollars' worth of corporate software, trade secrets, 20,000 credit card numbers, and other looted electronic information. Madison Systems has devised a comprehensive marketing strategy designed to establish it as the premier supplier of Intranet security hardware in Canada and the United States and expand its global influence by licensing distributors in Europe and Asia. The company intends to market the Centurion via three distinct distribution channels: direct sales to government and industry, electronic sales via the World Wide Web, and factory direct sales to wholesale distributors. Direct Sales To Government and Industry Madison Systems has successfully introduced its product to the marketplace by arranging to have the product used and evaluated by several key reference organizations in government and industry including Revenue Canada, Human Resources Development Council, Environment Canada, and the Ministry of Defence. Successful use of products (which were purchased by each organization), has begun to generate orders which are expected to increase significantly. Initial emphasis will be placed on volume sales to these accounts which are now familiar with the product and its applicability to their security environments. World Wide Web The Web represents a natural place where prospective customers will look to research the availability of network security products. Secondary consideration must be given to the actual sale of products over the Internet. Madison Systems intends to capitalize on this opportunity by launching its own website in early 1998. Initially, the site will act as a source for product information. Customers will be directed to an 800 number should they wish to make a purchase. Ultimately, the company plans to introduce the ability to take orders directly from its website. Wholesale Distributors Madison Systems believes that its Centurion lends itself nicely to direct purchase by wholesale distributors for resale into established reseller networks in Canada and the United States. Sales and Distribution Strategy Sales are to be secured through a combination of commissioned manufacturer's representatives, distributors and dealers. This marketing method has three key benefits: •As agents, these representatives are self employed and the company does not incur the normal expense associated with permanent staff. Representatives are compensated on a straight commission basis. •Representatives are generally well versed in their particular fields and are familiar with the features and shortcomings of competitive offerings. These agents also bring an existing client and contact base which is of considerable value to Madison Systems. •Outside agents allow a small manufacturer to reach a more geographically dispersed target market. CORPORATE VISION Madison Systems has developed an elegantly simple and cost-effective product which works in concert with software based security solutions such as network firewalls, anti-virus detection, digital signature certificate management, and data encryption; to provide corporations and governments world-wide with state-of-the-art network security. The Company is convinced that it can distinguish itself in the marketplace through the manufacture and distribution of the Centurion which protects the Achilles heel of software based security solutions by physically closing off the avenues available to "Trojan Horse" interlopers. Madison Systems has invested significant amounts of time and capital to develop its product and lay the foundation for the manufacturing and marketing expansion described in this Business Plan. The Company believes that this plan demonstrates the ability to generate operating earnings more than capable of sustaining year over year double digit growth while providing for research and development outlays to bring the next round of products to market.
