                           IAT EXTENDS OFFER FOR MCM
 
     New York, New York, September 10, 1998. IAT Reinsurance Syndicate, Ltd.
announced today that it has extended the expiration date of its $3.65 per share
cash tender offer for up to 35% of the issued and outstanding shares of McM
Corporation (NASDAQ OTC:MCMC) to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 30,
1998.
 
     IAT said that it has obtained the required approvals of the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware and the North Carolina Commissioner of
Insurance, and is awaiting only the required regulatory approval from the
California Commissioner of Insurance. IAT reserves the right to further extend
the tender offer in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Offer to
Purchase.
 
     The Board of Directors of McM Corporation has unanimously approved the
tender offer and has recommended that holders of McM shares tender their shares
into the tender offer.
 
     As of the close of business on September 9, 1998, approximately 1,349,794
shares (including option shares), or approximately 79% of the total number of
shares sought by IAT in the tender offer, had been tendered and not withdrawn.
IAT noted that, assuming receipt of the California regulatory approval, the
number of shares tendered to date is enough to permit IAT to close the tender
offer if IAT elects to do so in accordance with the terms of the Offer to
Purchase.
 
     McM shareholders with questions on IAT's tender offer or who require
additional assistance should call MacKenzie Partners, Inc. toll free at
1-800-322-2885. Additional copies of the Offer to Purchase and all other tender
offer materials may be obtained from MacKenzie Partners at 1-800-322-2885.
Shareholders may also contact their brokers, dealers, commercial banks and trust
companies or other nominees for assistance concerning the Offer. In addition,
shareholders of McM may also contact McM Corporation at 1-800-525-7486.
