          GRS Partners II................................      20,000      130,000
</TABLE>

     Each of the entities used its own working capital funds to purchase its
shares of Common Stock.

ITEM 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

     All of the shares of Common Stock were purchased for investment purposes
only. The Reporting Persons have entered into a letter of intent, attached as
Exhibit B to this Schedule pursuant to which the Reporting Persons have
committed, subject to the completion by MAI of certain transactions, to
subscribe (at the election of MAI, in whole or in part) to $6 million of MAI's
11% subordinated notes due 2004, pursuant to a note purchase agreement between
the Reporting Persons and MAI (the "Note Purchase Agreement"), a representative
copy of which is attached as Exhibit C to this Schedule, with warrants attached
to purchase 750,000 shares of the Common Stock at a price of $8 per share (the
"Warrants"), pursuant to a warrant agreement (the "Warrant Agreement") between
the Reporting Persons and MAI, a representative copy of which is attached as
Exhibit D to this Schedule and a registration rights agreement among MAI and the
Reporting Persons (the "Registration Rights Agreement") pursuant to which MAI
has agreed to register any securities underlying the Warrants.

ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF ISSUER

     (a) As of the date hereof, each of the Reporting Persons, acting as a group
within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act, was the beneficial owner of
an aggregate of 955,000 shares of Common Stock of MAI, which constituted
approximately 11.7% of the 8,179,186 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of
September 30, 1996 (as reported in MAI's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended September 30, 1996).

     (b) With respect to the 20,000 shares of Common Stock acquired by CPI, CPI
exercises both voting and dispositive power and since CPI is controlled by
Canpartners, Canpartners exercises both voting and dispositive power with
respect to such shares.  With respect to the 180,000 shares of Common Stock
acquired by VRF, VRF exercises both voting and dispositive power and since VRF
is ultimately controlled by Canpartners, Canpartners

                             (Page 11 of 14 Pages)
<PAGE>
 
exercises both voting and dispositive power with respect to such shares. With
respect to the 180,000 shares of Common Stock acquired by CVRFC, CVRFC exercises
both voting and dispositive power and since the account of CVRFC is managed by
CCM which is ultimately controlled by Canpartners, Canpartners exercises both
voting and dispositive power with respect to such shares. With respect to the
20,000 shares of Common Stock acquired by GRS, GRS exercises both voting and
dispositive power and since the account of GRS is managed by CCM which is
ultimately controlled by Canpartners, Canpartners exercises both voting and
dispositive power with respect to such shares. Canpartners is, in turn,
controlled by Messrs. Evensen, Friedman and Julis and each of these Reporting
Persons therefore exercises both voting and dispositive power with respect to
the shares of Common Stock acquired by CPI, VRF, CVRFC and GRS. Each of the
Reporting Persons who is an individual exercises both voting and dispositive
power over the shares of Common Stock acquired by them. Except as set forth in
this Item 5(b), none of the Reporting Persons has voting or dispositive power
over another Reporting Person's shares of Common Stock.

     (c) Item 3 above sets forth by Reporting Person the amount of shares
acquired and the aggregate purchase price of such shares.  All of the
transactions reflected in Item 3 above were effected on February 13, 1997.
Except for the acquisition of shares reflected in Item 3 above, none of the
Reporting Persons have effected any transaction in the Common Stock in the past
60 days.

     (d) No persons other than the other Reporting Persons, each with respect to
the shares of Common Stock acquired by them, have the right to receive or power
to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the
shares of Common Stock.

     (e)  N/A

ITEM 6.   CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
          TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
 
     Except with respect to the Exhibits listed in Item 7 below, there are no
contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships among the Reporting
Persons or any other persons with respect to the securities of MAI.

ITEM 7.   MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS

     Exhibit A:  Joint Filing Agreement among the Reporting Persons dated the
                 date hereof.
     Exhibit B:  Subscription and Commitment Agreement, dated as of February 13,
                 1997 among MAI and the Reporting Persons.
     Exhibit C:  The Note Purchase Agreement.
     Exhibit D:  The Warrant Agreement.
     Exhibit E   The Registration Rights Agreement.

                                   SIGNATURE

     After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I
certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and
correct.
