ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
Madison Avenue Holdings, Inc. ("MAHI") was incorporated on February 27, 2004 under the laws of the State of Delaware to engage in any lawful corporate undertaking, including, but not limited to, selected mergers and acquisitions. MAHI has been in the developmental stage since inception and its operations to date have been limited to issuing shares to its original shareholders.
On August 16, 2005, Acer Limited ("Acer"), a British Virgin Islands Company owned and controlled by Mr. Cesar Villavicencio which was then the sole stockholder of MAHI, sold 475,000 shares of MAHI common stock to Mr. Alex Kam for a cash purchase price of $120,000. Such shares constituted 95% of the outstanding capital stock of MAHI. In connection with the sale, MAHI agreed that, in the event that MAHI successfully completes a merger with or acquisition of one or more business entities identified by Mr. Kam (a "Business Combination"), it will issue to Acer such number of shares of its common stock as shall, together with the 25,000 shares currently owned by Acer, constitute 5% of the total issued and outstanding shares of MAHI common stock immediately following consummation of the Business Combination. Also in connection with the sale, Mr. Cesar Villavicencio resigned as sole director and Chief Executive Officer of MAHI and Mr. Kam was elected to both of those positions, making Mr. Kam MAHI's sole director and sole executive officer.
On May 22, 2006, Mr. Kam entered into two separate share purchase agreements with each of Mr. Pan-Rong Liu ("Liu") and Mr. Seung Chi Tang ("Tang"). Under the share purchase agreements, Mr. Kam agreed to sell 118,750 shares of Common Stock to each of Liu and Tang. The purchase price for the Shares under each share purchase agreement was $160,000 and was paid in cash. The share purchase agreements were closed on June 13, 2006. The sale of the shares to Liu and Tang was made so that Liu and Tang would have a proprietary stake in MAHI and assist in locating and negotiating with one or more business entities for the combination of that target company or those target companies with MAHI.
Since 2006 MAHI has attempted to locate and negotiate with one or more business entities for the combination of that target company or those target companies with MAHI. It is anticipated that each combination will take the form of a merger, stock-for-stock exchange or stock-for-assets exchange. In most instances the target company would wish to structure the Business Combination to be within the definition of a tax-free reorganization under Section 351 or Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
No assurances can be given that MAHI will be successful in locating or negotiating with any target company.
MAHI has been formed to provide a method for a foreign or domestic private company to become a reporting company with a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").
A Business Combination with a target company would normally involve the transfer to the target company of the majority of the issued and outstanding common stock of MAHI and the substitution by the target company of its own management and board of directors for MAHI's current director and Chief Executive Officer.
The proposed business activities described herein classify MAHI as a "blank check" company. The Securities and Exchange Commission and certain states have enacted statutes, rules and regulations limiting the public sale of securities of blank check companies. MAHI does not intend to make any efforts to cause a market to develop in its securities until such time as MAHI has successfully implemented its business plan and it is no longer classified as a blank check company.
No assurances can be given that MAHI will be able to enter into any Business Combination, as to the terms of a business combination, or as to the nature of a target company.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
MAHI has no properties and at this time has no agreements to acquire any properties. MAHI currently uses the offices of Alex Kam at no cost to MAHI. Mr. Kam has agreed to continue this arrangement until MAHI completes a Business Combination. Since MAHI presently has no business operations, it will not require any additional facilities until it completes a Business Combination.

ITEM 5.
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
(a) MARKET PRICE. There is no trading market for MAHI's common stock at present and there has been no trading market to date. There is no assurance that a trading market will ever develop or, if such a market does develop, that it will continue.
(b) HOLDERS. The issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of MAHI were issued in accordance with exemptions from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. As of March 22, 2013, there were 500,000 shares of common stock outstanding. The par value per share is $.001. As of March 22, 2013, there are four holders of the common stock issued and outstanding.
(c) DIVIDENDS. MAHI has not paid any dividends to date, and has no plans to do so in the foreseeable future.
(d) SECURITIES AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE UNDER EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS.
We currently do not have any equity compensation plans.
ITEM 6.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
Not applicable.
ITEM 7.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The purpose of MAHI is to seek, investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire an interest in a business entity which desires to seek the perceived advantages of a corporation which has a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act. MAHI will not restrict its search to any specific business, industry, or geographical location and MAHI may participate in a business venture of virtually any kind or nature. Management anticipates that it will be able to participate in only one potential business venture because MAHI has nominal assets and limited financial resources. This lack of diversification should be considered a substantial risk to the stockholders of MAHI because it will not permit MAHI to offset potential losses from one venture against gains from another.
MAHI may seek a business opportunity with entities which have recently commenced operations, or which wish to utilize the public marketplace in order to raise additional capital in order to expand into new products or markets, to develop a new product or service, or for other corporate purposes.
MAHI anticipates that the selection of a business opportunity in which to participate will be complex and extremely risky. MAHI has not conducted any research to confirm that there are business entities seeking the perceived benefits of a reporting corporation. Such perceived benefits may include facilitating or improving the terms on which additional equity financing may be sought, providing liquidity for incentive stock options or similar benefits to key employees, increasing the opportunity to use securities for acquisitions, providing liquidity for stockholders and other factors. Business opportunities may be available in many different industries and at various stages of development, all of which will make the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities difficult and complex.
MAHI has, and will continue to have, minimal capital with which to provide the owners of business entities with any cash or other assets; however, MAHI offers owners of acquisition candidates the opportunity to acquire a controlling ownership interest in a reporting company without the time required to become a reporting company by other means. MAHI has not conducted market research and is not aware of statistical data to support the perceived benefits of a business combination for the owners of a target company.
The analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by, or under the supervision of, the officers and sole director of MAHI, who are not professional business analysts. In analyzing prospective business opportunities, MAHI may consider such matters as the available technical, financial and managerial resources; working capital and other financial requirements; history of operations, if any; prospects for the future; nature of present and expected competition; the quality and experience of management services which may be available and the depth of that management; the potential for further research, development, or exploration; specific risk factors not now foreseeable, but which then may be anticipated to impact the proposed activities of MAHI; the potential for growth or expansion; the potential for profit; the perceived public recognition or acceptance of products, services, or trades; name identification; and other relevant factors. This discussion of the proposed criteria is not meant to be restrictive of the virtually unlimited discretion of MAHI to search for and enter into potential business opportunities.
It is anticipated that any securities issued in any Business Combination would be issued in reliance upon exemption from registration under applicable federal and state securities laws. In some circumstances, however, as a negotiated element of its transaction, MAHI may agree to register all or a part of such securities immediately after the transaction is consummated or at specified times thereafter. If such registration occurs, it will be undertaken by the surviving entity after MAHI has entered into an agreement for a Business Combination or has consummated a Business Combination and MAHI is no longer considered a blank check company. The issuance of additional securities and their potential sale into any trading market which may develop in the securities of MAHI may depress the market value of the securities of MAHI in the future if such a market develops, of which there is no assurance.
While the terms of a Business Combination cannot be predicted, it is anticipated that the parties to the Business Combination would desire to avoid the creation of a taxable event and therefore structure the transaction as a tax-free reorganization under Section 351 or 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
Depending upon, among other things, the target company's assets and liabilities, the stockholders of MAHI will in all likelihood hold a substantially lesser percentage ownership interest in MAHI following any Business Combination. The percentage of ownership may be subject to significant reduction in the event MAHI acquires a target company with substantial assets. Except for Acer, any Business Combination effected by MAHI can be expected to have a significant dilutive effect on the percentage of shares held by the stockholders of MAHI at such time.
MAHI will participate in a Business Combination only after the negotiation and execution of appropriate agreements. Although the terms of such agreements cannot be predicted, generally such agreements would require certain representations and warranties of the parties thereto, would specify certain events of default, would detail the terms of closing and the conditions which must be satisfied by the parties prior to and after such closing and would include miscellaneous other terms.
If MAHI stops or becomes unable to continue to pay its operating expenses, MAHI may not be able to timely make its periodic reports required under the Exchange Act nor to continue to search for an acquisition target.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
MAHI does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Going Concern
The financial statements included in this filing have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles that contemplate the continuance of us as a going concern. MAHI's cash is inadequate to pay all of the costs associated with our operations. Management intends to use borrowings and security sales to mitigate the effects of its cash position; however, no assurance can be given that debt or equity financing, if and when required, will be available. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should MAHI be unable to continue its existence.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
MAHI has not changed its independent accountants since its formation and the Company has had no disagreements with its independent accountants on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.
ITEM 9A.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Mr. Alex Kam, our chief executive officer and Mr. Pan-Rong Liu, our chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of December 31, 2012. Based on this evaluation, our officers concluded that, as of December 31, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and adequately designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms and that such information was accumulated and communicated to our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, in a manner that allowed for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may be inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, the end of our fiscal year. Management’s assessment included evaluation of the design and operating effectiveness of key financial reporting controls, process documentation, accounting policies, and our overall control environment. Based on our assessment, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2012 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm, regarding internal control over financial reporting.
(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the period ended December 31, 2012, there has been no change in internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 10.
ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Set forth below are the names of the sole director and the executive officers of MAHI, all positions and offices they hold with MAHI, the period during which they have served as such, and their business experience during at least the last five years.
Positions and Offices Held
Name
Age
With Registrant
Alex Kam
Chief Executive Officer,
President, Secretary and Director
Pan-Rong Liu
Chief Financial Officer
Alex Kam. Mr. Kam is the Chief Executive Officer and the sole director of MAHI. Mr. Kam has extensive experience in international trade between the U.S.and China. He established ACE Wholesale in 1981 and has served as President of ACE Wholesale since that time. ACE Wholesale has operations in Hong Kong and China, and focuses primarily on the import and export of electronic items. Since 1981, he has also served as Executive Vice President of the ACE Group, President of Marido Industrial Corporation, and President of Leman Development Corporation. Additionally, Mr. Kam also founded United National Bank in Monterey Park in 1986 and served as a director of the bank until the bank was sold in 1992. Mr. Kam has a Masters of Science degree from the University of California at Los Angeles.
Pan-Rong Liu. Mr. Liu was appointed to the Chief Financial Officer of MAHI pursuant to a Written Consent of Directors dated August 31, 2006 and the appointment effected from September 1, 2006. Mr. Liu was born on November 24, 1956 in China, and obtained his PHD in Agriculture at the Auburn University in Alabama in 1988. He started T&L Trading in 1990. T&L Trading is a live seafood wholesaler and distributes seafood to markets and restaurants.
Director Qualifications
The Company’s Board of Directors believes that our director’s experience, qualifications, attributes, or skills on an individual basis lead to the conclusion that such director should serve in such capacity. Among the attributes or skills common to all of the Company’s are their ability to review critically and to evaluate, question, and discuss information provided to them, to interact effectively with the officers and employees of the Company, as well as service providers, counsel, and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and to exercise effective and independent business judgment in the performance of their duties as directors.
Director Independence
Our securities are not listed on a national securities exchange or in an inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that directors be independent. We do not have majority of independent directors.
Family Relationships
There is no family relationship between Mr. Liu and the Company current sole director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Kam.
Audit Committee and Financial Expert
MAHI does not have an Audit Committee. Mr. Kam, the sole director, performs some of the same functions of an Audit Committee, such as: recommending a firm of independent certified public accountants to audit the annual financial statements; reviewing the independent auditors’ independence, the financial statements and their audit report; and reviewing management's administration of the system of internal accounting controls. MAHI does not currently have a written audit committee charter or similar document.
MAHI has no audit committee financial expert. MAHI believes the cost related to retaining an audit committee financial expert at this time is prohibitive. Further, because MAHI has no business operations, management believes the services of an audit committee financial expert are not warranted.
Code of Ethics
A code of ethics relates to written standards that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
1. Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
2. Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that are filed with, or submitted to, the Commission and in other public communications made by an issuer;
3. Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
4. The prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the code; and
5. Accountability for adherence to the code.
MAHI has not adopted a corporate code of ethics that applies to its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions
The decision to not adopt such a code of ethics resulted from MAHI's having only two officers and one director, management believe that the limited interaction which occurs from having a sole director and two officers eliminates the current need for such a code, in that violations of such a code would be reported to the parties generating the violation.
Nominating Committee
MAHI does not have a Nominating Committee or Nominating Committee Charter. Alex Kam, MAHI's sole director performs some of the functions associated with a Nominating Committee. MAHI has elected not to have a Nominating Committee in that it is a development stage company with limited operations and resources.
ITEM 11.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Mr. Kam has not received any compensation for his services rendered to MAHI, has not received such compensation in the past, and is not accruing any compensation pursuant to any agreement with MAHI. However, he anticipates receiving benefits as beneficial stockholder of MAHI. Mr. Liu has agreed to allocate a limited portion of his time to the activities of MAHI without compensation.
No retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock option or insurance programs or other similar programs have been adopted by MAHI for the benefit of its employees.
Employment Agreements
MAHI has not entered into any employment agreements with executive officers or other employees to date.
ITEM 12.
ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The following table sets forth each person known by MAHI to be the beneficial owner of five percent or more of the common stock of MAHI and the sole director and two officers of MAHI. Each such person has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown.
(1)
Includes 25,000 shares owned by Acer Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation which is owned and controlled by Mr. Villavicencio.
ITEM 13.
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
None.
ITEM 14.
ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES
MAHI has selected Michael T. Studer CPA P.C. (“Studer”) as our independent auditor for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.
The following table sets forth the aggregate fees billed to MAHI for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 by Studer:
Audit fees consist of fees for services billed by Studer related to the audits of MAHI’s annual financial statements and the review of financial statements included in MAHI’s quarterly reports on SEC Form 10-Q. Audit-related fees consist primarily of fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for assurance and related services by the principal accountants that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of MAHI's financial statements and are not reported under Item 9 (e)(1) of Schedule 14A. Tax fees consist of fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountants for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning.
Effective May 6, 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted rules that require that before our auditor is engaged by us or our subsidiaries to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be:
-approved by our audit committee; or
-entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the audit committee, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the audit committee is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the audit committee's responsibilities to management.
We do not have an audit committee. Our board pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. The pre-approval process has just been implemented in response to the new rules. Therefore, ours sole director does not have records of what percentages of the above fees were pre-approved. However, all of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the entire board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Madison Avenue Holdings Inc.
I have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Madison Avenue Holdings Inc. (the Company), a development stage company, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficiency), and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the period February 27, 2004 (date of inception) to December 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Madison Avenue Holdings Inc., a development stage company, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the period February 27, 2004 (date of inception) to December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The accompanying financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s present financial situation raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and
For the Period February 27, 2004 (Inception) to December 31, 2012
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
Madison Avenue Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on February 27, 2004. The Company has no products or services; the Company is seeking a business to merge with or acquire.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation - The Company has been presented as a “development stage enterprise” in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915, “Development Stage Entities”. Since inception, the Company’s activities have been limited to organizational efforts, obtaining initial financing, and making filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
At December 31, 2012, the Company had no cash and for the period February 27, 2004 (inception) to December 31, 2012, the Company incurred a net loss of $135,419. These factors create uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is making efforts to acquire a business with assets and operations. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing this objective. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Cash and cash equivalents - For purposes of the balance sheet and statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair value of financial instruments - The Company’s financial instruments consist of accounts payable and accrued expenses, which approximate fair value because of their short maturity.

For the Years Ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and
For the Period February 27, 2004 (Inception) to December 31, 2012
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Income taxes - Income taxes are accounted for under the assets and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Net loss per common share - Basic and diluted net loss per common share has been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Concentration of credit risk - The Company has no off-balance-sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, options contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. The Company maintains its cash balance with one financial institution, in the form of a demand deposit account.
NOTE 3 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
In March 2004, the Company sold 500,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $.001 per share, or $500 total, to a corporation (the “First Stockholder”) controlled by the then president and director of the Company.
