FACTS

On the basis of the Order Instituting Public Proceedings the Commission finds that:

A. Madison Group, formerly known as Canaveral International Corporation, is a Delaware corporation whose common stock is registered with the Commission pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. § 78l(g)).

B. In February 1997, Madison Group entered a voluntary proceeding for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of Florida at Fort Lauderdale (Case No. 97-20522-BKC-RBR). Madison Group's bankruptcy proceeding has been converted to a Chapter 7 liquidation. The court appointed Trustee in Bankruptcy for Madison Group is Soneet R. Kapila. The Attorney for Madison Group in Bankruptcy is Mariaelena Gayo-Guitian, Esq., of Houston & Shahady, P.A., of Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

C. Madison Group has failed to comply with Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. §78m(a)) and Exchange Act Rules 13a-1 and 13a-13 (17 C.F.R. §§240.13a-1 and 13a-13) while its common stock was registered with the Commission in that it has not filed either Annual Reports on Form 10-K or Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for any fiscal period subsequent to its fiscal quarter ending December 31, 1995.

D. Madison Group violated Sections 10(b) and 13(a) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. §§ 78j(b) and 78m(a)) and Exchange Act Rules 10b-5, 13a-1, 13a-13 and 12b-20 (17 C.F.R. §§240.10b-5, 13a-1, 13a-13 and 12b-20) by including financial statements that failed to conform with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, as required by Commission Regulation S-X, in its Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1992, and 1993, and in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the first three quarters of the fiscal year ended September 31, 1993, and for the first quarter of the fiscal year ended September 31, 1994. The financial statements failed to conform with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles by materially overstating the value of the corporate assets of Madison Group.

II.

FINDINGS

In view of the foregoing, the Commission finds that it is necessary and appropriate for the protection of investors that the registration of Madison Group's common stock be revoked pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. §78l(j)).

III.

ORDER

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. §78l(j)) that the registration pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. §78l(g)) of Madison Group's common stock be, and hereby is, revoked.
