No. 41039 / February 10, 1999 IN THE MATTER OF MADISON GROUP, INC Administrative Proveeding File No. 3-9826 Administrative Proceedings Initiated to Revoke Registration of Microcap Stock The Securities and Exchange Commission announced today that it has instituted public administrative proceedings, pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, to determine whether to revoke the registration with the Commission of the common stock of Madison Group Associates, Inc. ("Madison Group"). Madison Group, a microcap entertainment company, formerly based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is presently in a liquidation proceeding under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. According to a complaint filed today by the Commission in U.S. District Court in Miami, Florida, Madison Group, from February 1992 through March 1994, dramatically overstated the value of its assets in financial statements filed with the Commission. Securities and Exchange Commission v. William T. Craig and Scott R. Sieck, No. 99-6165-CIV- Dimitrouleas (S.D. Fla. February 10, 1999). The unconven- tional assets at issue, including aging libraries of country music video programs, were obtained in exchange for Madison Group stock and were generally valued on the basis of overly optimistic projections about their commercial potential. This misstatement of asset values, the Commission's complaint alleges, allowed Madison Group to maintain a listing for its stock on the NASDAQ national market system and to sell its stock to the public at inflated prices. A hearing will be held before an Administrative Law Judge to determine whether the staff's allegations in the Order Instituting Proceedings are true and, if so, whether the company's registration should be revoked. This enforcement action is part of the Commission's four-pronged approach to minimizing Microcap fraud: enforcement, inspections, investor education, and regulation.
