                          [McM CORPORATION LETTERHEAD]



RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA, FEBRUARY 4, 1997 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


         McM Corporation, a Raleigh-based insurance holding company, has been
informed that the Trustee of the McMillen Trust, holder of 66% of the Company's
stock, has granted to McM Acquisition Corporation ("MAC") an option to purchase
all of the Trust's shares at $6.20 per share. The option expires March 1, 1998.
MAC, controlled by private investor and real estate developer M. Roland Britt,
has filed a Form 13D with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The filing
shows that the possible purchase of the Trust's shares is subject to the ability
of MAC to obtain the necessary financing as well as North Carolina Department of
Insurance and other regulatory approvals. McM, which is not a party to the
option agreement, cannot predict whether MAC will exercise its option or would
be able to obtain the required approvals and financial arrangements.

         The Trustee of the McMillen Trust, Wilmington Trust Company, is
proceeding under a 1987 order of the Chancery Court of Delaware which directs
the Trustee to dispose of its investment in McM.

         In a separate, independent action, McM had already agreed to provide
MAC confidential access to the Company records and information to enable it to
conduct due diligence reviews and to pursue appropriate financial arrangements
for a possible acquisition of all of McM's shares. The agreement, which expires
May 31, 1997, also grants to MAC an exclusive period during which McM will
continue its policy of not soliciting acquisition offers.
