(f) Eligibility for Listing or Trading. Until July 2005 the Company's stock was traded on the OTC Bulletin Board.

The Company's stock currently trades only in the "Pink Sheets" under the symbol MAIY.PK. The Company believes that upon filing its Form 10-K, which was filed on September 22, 2005, that its common stock will again qualify for trade on the OTC Bulletin Board. Following the reverse stock split, the Company will not take any steps to qualify the Company's common stock for trading on any automated quotations system operated by a national securities association. In addition, the Company's common stock will cease to be traded on the OTC Bulletin Board, but may again be traded in the "Pink Sheets," however the Company does not intend to apply to have its common stock traded in the Pink Sheets.
