Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

State the purpose or purposes of the acquisition of securities of the issuer. Describe any plans or proposals which the reporting persons may have which relate to or would result in:

(a)

The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the issuer, or the disposition of securities of the issuer; The purpose of this transaction, is to improve the issuer's debt structure and working capital.  In conjunction with this transaction, this Reporting Person and others have invested $1,000,000 in the issuer in a private placement pursuant to the 1933 Securities Act, as amended, and have received 10 million shares therefore, and have converted  $3,317,211 of issuer indebtedness into 33,172,110 shares of the common stock of the issuer.

(b)

An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the issuer or any of its subsidiaries; the transactions described in (a) above, resulted in a 'change of control' of the issuer, giving the Reporting Person approximately 77.45% beneficial control of the issuer. 

(c)

A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

(d)

Any change in the present board of directors or management of the issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;

(e)

Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the issuer;

(f)

Any other material change in the issuer's business or corporate structure including but not limited to, if the issuer is a registered closed-end investment company, any plans or proposals to make any changes in its investment policy for which a vote is required by section 13 of the Investment Company Act of 1940;

(g)

Changes in the issuer's charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the issuer by any person; the acquisition of control of the issuer by the Reporting Person will impede the acquisition of control of the issuer by any third party.

(h)

Causing a class of securities of the issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; The issuer's Board of Directors believes that as a result of the recent increased disclosure and procedural requirements resulting from the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, the legal, accounting and administrative expense, and diversion of Board of Directors, management and staff effort necessary to conform to the requirements of a publicly reporting company will continue to increase, which, ultimately, may be to the detriment of the issuer and its long range goals. The issuer's Board has also noted the absence of an active public market for the Company’s Common Stock and the sporadic and limited trading in such Common Stock. Further, the Company’s directors and management have noted that private companies similarly situated have considerably lower directors’ and officers’ liability insurance premiums as well as lower exposure to class action securities litigation.   In light of the foregoing, it is possible that at some future date the issuer's Board of Directors, acting, if required, upon recommendation of an independent committee and its financial advisors, will conclude that eliminating the issuer’s SEC reporting obligations by reducing its number of shareholders may be in the best interests of its shareholders and to take such steps as may be required to accomplish that goal, such as a reverse stock split or other mechanism to reduce the number of its record shareholders. If the issuer ceases to be a public reporting entity its securities will no longer be quoted on the NASDAQ Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board.

(i)

A class of equity securities of the issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or

(j)

Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

The above mentioned information should also be furnished with respect to persons who, together with any of the persons named in Item 2, comprise a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act; (a)  As of October 31, 2004, and after giving effect to transactions reported in Items 4(a) and 5(c) herein, the Reporting Person was the beneficial owner of an aggregate of 44,800,398 shares of MAI common stock which constituted 77.45% of the common stock.

If any other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, such securities, a statement to that effect should be included in response to this item and, if such interest relates to more than five percent of the class, such person should be identified. A listing of the shareholders of an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or the beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan, pension fund or endowment fund is not required.
