NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
McM Corporation and Subsidiaries
September 30, 1995


Note A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include
all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.  The statements include all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair statement of the results.

         For further information regarding the significant accounting policies,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included
in McM's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

NOTE B -- INCOME TAXES

         The income tax provision is based upon the estimated effective tax
rate for the year.  This rate varies from the normal federal income tax rate of
thirty-four percent (34%) because of the utilization of tax return net
operating loss carryforwards.

NOTE C -- SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

         On May 11, 1995, the shareholders of McM approved an amendment to the
Articles of Incorporation of McM increasing the number of authorized Common
Shares from 5,000,000 to 10,000,000 and authorized the creation of a new class
of 1,000,000 Preferred Shares.  The amendment vests in the Board of Directors
the authority to issue, at such time as the Board deems appropriate, the
5,000,000 newly authorized Common Shares and to fix by resolution any
designations, preferences, relative rights and limitations of the Preferred
Shares.  At September 30, 1995, and December 31, 1994, there were 4,675,038
Common Shares issued and outstanding.  No Preferred Shares had been defined or
issued at September 30, 1995.

NOTE D -- STOCK OPTION PLAN AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Earnings per common share are based on 4,675,038 shares of Common
Stock issued and outstanding and exclude the effect of common stock
equivalents.  Stock options had no effect on the computation of earnings per
share.
<PAGE>   7

NOTE E --  CONTINGENCIES

         Litigation: In the normal course of operations, certain subsidiaries
of the Company have been named as parties to various pending and threatened
litigation.  While the outcome of some of these matters cannot be estimated
with certainty, it is the opinion of management, after consultation with legal
counsel, that the resolution of this litigation will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
McM Corporation and Subsidiaries


Review of Operations

         Unaudited results for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, show
net income of $1,986,000 or $.42 per share compared to net income of $1,156,000
or $.25 per share for the same period in 1994.  Consolidated gross revenues for
the first nine months of 1995 were $36,421,000 compared to $33,928,000 for the
same period of 1994.

         Shareholders' equity at September 30, 1995, totalled $22,910,000 or
$4.90 per share compared to $20,407,000 or $4.37 per share at December 31,
1994.  Consolidated assets totalled $132,430,000 at September 30, 1995,
compared to $137,665,000 at December 31, 1994.

         Total net premium revenues were $33,283,000 for the first nine months
of 1995 compared to $30,351,000 for the same period in 1994, an overall
increase of approximately 10%.  This increase in net premiums is the result of
management's plan for continuing growth in premium writings that was
established in the fourth quarter of 1994.

         The overall loss and settlement expense ratio for the first nine
months of 1995 was 3.4 percentage points less than that of the  same period in
1994.  Through September 30, 1995, the overall loss and settlement expense
ratios were 66% and 69.4% for the first nine months of 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  Favorable loss development on reserves of prior accident years,
related primarily to the Company's assumed and discontinued business, has
contributed to this improvement.  Favorable underwriting results of ongoing
operations for the first nine months of 1995 continued to reflect the trend
established in 1994.  The loss and settlement expense ratio of 66.9% for
ongoing lines of business improved 1.4 percentage points from the 68.3% ratio
experienced for the same period last year.

         The ratio of underwriting, acquisition and administrative expenses to
earned premium ("the expense ratio") for the first nine months of 1995 was
36.4% compared to 37.4% for the same period in 1994.   This decrease in the
expense ratio reflects management's continuing effort  to enhance productivity
and efficiency in the Company's operations through increased premium production
and cost control.

         Included in consolidated net income for the first nine months of 1995
as a reduction of earned premium is a $500,000 charge relating to the
settlement of the Company's California Proposition 103 liability.  This
settlement was finalized with the California Department of Insurance on July
21, 1995, and includes interest.  Offsetting this charge and also included in
the first nine months' results for 1995 is a $539,000 favorable arbitration
settlement related to the Company's discontinued property and casualty
programs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Consolidated gross investment income totalled $3,005,000 for the first
nine months of 1995 compared to $3,106,000 for the same period last year.
Investment earnings declined throughout 1994 as a result of a reduction in
invested assets and lower investment yields.  Contributing to the overall
decrease in invested assets during 1993 and 1994 were planned reductions in net
written premiums, the Company's primary source of short and long-term
liquidity, and settlement of claims related to discontinued property and
casualty insurance programs. The reduction in net written premium during 1993
and 1994 is a result of management's successful strategy to reduce premium
writings in unprofitable markets and to reduce the Company's net writings to
surplus ratio.  As mentioned previously, the Company is now experiencing
planned moderate growth in premium writings.  Investment earnings have also
improved in the first nine months of 1995 as a result of overall higher
investment yields and improved operating cashflows.  Invested assets totalled
$59.4 million at September 30, 1995, compared to $67.2 million at December 31,
1994.  Claim liabilities decreased $12.4 million during the first nine months
of 1995 and total liabilities decreased $7.7 million in the same period.

         Cash used by operating activities was $8.1 million for the first nine
months of 1995 compared to $14.3 million during the same period last year.  The
cash used by operating activities reflects an overall decrease in liabilities
of $7.7 million for the first nine months of 1995.  Cash and short-term
investments held by the Company at September 30, 1995, were approximately $9.2
million as compared to $19.2 million at December 31, 1994.

         The Board of Directors did not declare a dividend to shareholders
during the first nine months of 1995.  The Board will carefully consider the
Company's earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and other
relevant factors when determining whether to declare dividends in the future.
