MuniMae Announces Filing of 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K

MuniMae (NYSE:MMA) today filed its annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. On March 10, 2006, the
Company announced that it would restate net earnings for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2005 as well as the fiscal years
ended 2004, 2003, 2002 and 2001. On April 11, 2006, the Company
announced unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full
year 2005.
   As disclosed in today's filing, net earnings were $87.4 million
($2.30 per diluted share) for the year ended December 31, 2005 as
compared to $47.3 million ($1.36 per diluted share) for the year ended
December 31, 2004, as restated. Net earnings for the fourth quarter of
2005 were $14.2 million ($.37 per diluted share) as compared to $15.1
million ($.43 per diluted share) for the fourth quarter of 2004, as
restated. Previously reported cash available for distribution (CAD)
for the fourth quarter and full year 2005 was unchanged. CAD is a
supplemental non-GAAP performance measure reported by the Company in
addition to net earnings. A reconciliation of CAD to net earnings is
included in the accompanying table. The Company also reaffirmed its
performance objectives for 2006.
   As a result of the effort necessary to complete its 2005 annual
report, the Company has not filed its quarterly report on Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The Company currently expects to
file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 in July 2006
and its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 in August 2006.
The Company will host one conference call to discuss its financial
results for the first half of 2006 as well as its outlook for the
second half of the year in August 2006.
