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,

in McM's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

NOTE B -- INCOME TAXES

     No provision for income taxes has been recognized by the Company because

     Litigation: In the normal course of operations, certain subsidiaries of
the Company have been named as parties to various pending and threatened

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 six months ended June 30, 1996, show net income
of $1,269,000 or $.27 per share, up 12% from net income of $1,134,000 or $.24
per share for the first six months of 1995.  Consolidated gross revenues for
the first six months of 1996 increased 18% to $27,630,000 compared to
$23,477,000 for the same period in 1995.

     Shareholders' equity at June 30, 1996, totalled $23,712,000 or $5.07 per
share compared to $23,240,000 or $4.97 per share at December 31, 1995.
Consolidated assets totalled $121,473,000 at June 30, 1996, compared to
$126,568,000 at December 31, 1995.

     Total net premium revenues were $25,620,000 for the first six months of
1996 compared to $21,368,000 for the same period in 1995, an increase of
approximately 20%.  This increase in net premiums is primarily the result of
planned growth in commercial automobile and private passenger automobile
premium writings.  In addition, net premium revenues increased by approximately
$700,000 as a result of a change in the Company's quota share reinsurance
program.  Overall, premium writings are in line with management's expectations
of controlled growth in these lines of business.

     Continued improvement in underwriting results for the Company's ongoing
lines of business is reflected in the decrease of the overall claims loss and
settlement expense ratio.  This ratio decreased over one percentage point from
66.1% at June 30, 1995, to 64.9% at June 30, 1996.  Overall, loss reserves of
prior accident years experienced unfavorable development of approximately
$311,000 during the first six months of 1996.  Most of this development relates
to the Company's discontinued workers compensation programs.

     The ratio of underwriting, acquisition, and administrative expenses to net
earned premiums has also shown improvement as management continues its focus on
expense control, increased productivity and more efficient operations.  This
ratio was 37.1% at June 30, 1996, compared to 37.3% at June 30, 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Consolidated gross investment income totalled $1,843,000 for the first six
months of 1996, compared to $2,030,000 for the same period in 1995.  This
decline in investment income is primarily the result of lower investment yields
on short-term investments during 1996 and a reduction in invested assets from
$64.2 million at June 30, 1995, to $58.6 million at June 30, 1996.  The
decrease in invested balances is primarily attributed to the continued
settlement of claims related to discontinued lines of business, and the
acceleration of claims  settlement relating to ongoing lines of business.
Overall, loss reserves decreased by $4.8 million during the first six months of
1996.  In addition, the Company experienced unrealized losses of $704,000
during the first six months of 1996 on securities available-for-sale, compared
to unrealized gains of $488,000 for the first six months of 1995.

     Cash used by operating activities totalled $4.5 million for the first six
months of 1996 compared to $4.1 million during the same period in 1995.  The
cash used by operating activities for the period reflects an overall decrease
in liabilities of $5.6 million. Cash and short-term investments held by the
Company at June 30, 1996, were approximately $24.1 million compared to $16.5
million at December 31, 1995.

     On May 23, 1996, upon careful consideration of the Company's earnings,
capital requirements, financial condition and other relevant factors, the Board
of Directors declared a dividend of $.02 per share payable on June 17, 1996, to
shareholders of record on June 3, 1996.  The Board will continue to analyze
such factors when determining whether to declare additional dividends in the
future.
