CUSIP NO. 59163F 10 5
 
The following constitutes Amendment No. 7 (“Amendment No. 7”) to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned.  This Amendment No. 7 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth.

Item 3 is hereby amended to include the following:

The aggregate purchase price of the 567,292 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Everest and reported in this Amendment No. 7 is $965,206, excluding brokerage commissions.  The aggregate purchase price of the 200 shares of Preferred Stock (as defined in Amendment No. 6) beneficially owned by Everest and reported in this Amendment No. 7 is $2,000,000.  The shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock reported herein were purchased with Everest’s working capital.  No separate cash consideration was paid by Everest in respect of the Everest Warrants (as defined in Amendment No. 6).

Item 5(a) is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

(a)           As of the date of this filing, Everest beneficially owned 2,084,146 shares of Common Stock, including 1,516,854 shares of Common Stock into which the 270 shares of Preferred Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons (including the 70 shares of Preferred Stock underlying the Everest Warrants) may be immediately converted as described above, which constitutes approximately 26.9% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock as of March 20, 2007 (based upon the 6,233,326 shares of Common Stock that were reported to be outstanding on such date in the Issuer’s annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 on Form 10-K and filed with Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2008, plus the 1,516,854 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Everest through its beneficial ownership of 270 shares of Preferred Stock).  MEFM, by virtue of its status as the general partner of Everest, may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock held by Everest.  Elchanan Maoz may be deemed to beneficially own 2,095,396 shares of Common Stock (consisting of (i) 2,084,146 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Everest that Mr. Maoz, by virtue of his status as a controlling stockholder of MEFM, the general partner of Everest, may be deemed to beneficially own and (ii) 11,250 options granted to Mr. Maoz in his capacity as director of the Issuer and exercisable within 60 days from the date hereof).  MEFM and Elchanan Maoz disclaim beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein.

The Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $1.78 per share, which is subject to adjustment from time to time.  At the initial conversion price, the 200 shares of Preferred Stock held by Everest are convertible into an aggregate of 1,123,596 shares of Common Stock and, if the Everest Warrants are exercised in full, the additional 70 shares of Preferred Stock will be convertible into an aggregate of 393,258 shares of Common Stock.

Under the terms of the Preferred Stock, the shares of Preferred Stock will vote together with shares of Common Stock on all matters.  Holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to the number of votes per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the conversion price by (B) $2.08 (the market price of the Common Stock on the date of issuance), for each share of Common Stock into which such shares of Preferred Stock could be converted.  Based on the initial conversion price of $1.78, the 200 shares of Preferred stock held by Everest would entitle it to exercise voting power over 961,539 shares of Common Stock and, if the Everest Warrants are exercised in full, the additional 70 shares of Preferred Stock would entitle it to exercise voting power over 336,538 shares of Common Stock.

(c)           Set forth below are the transactions effected by Everest with respect to the Common Stock during the past sixty days.  All such transactions were effected in the open market.  No other Reporting Person effected any transactions with respect to the Common Stock during the past sixty days.
