        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                        SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999

1.       Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 
of McClain Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, such Statements do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
consisting of normal recurring items considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month and six
month periods ended March 31, 1999, are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 1999. For further
information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
September 30, 1998.

2.       Inventories

         Inventories at March 31, 1999 and September 30, 1998 are summarized as
follows:

3.       Earnings per Common Share 

         Earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the year. The Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", effective
September 30, 1998. This statement requires a dual presentation and
reconciliation of "basic" and "diluted" per share amounts. Diluted reflects the
potential dilution of all common stock equivalents. At March 31, 1999, and 1998
options to purchase 259,464 and 199,464 shares, respectively, were excluded from
the computation of earnings per share because the options' exercise prices were
greater than the average market price of the common shares.

4.       Depreciation

         For the six months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, depreciation charges
were $1,419,471 and $1,498,028, respectively.

5.       Contingencies

         Product Liability

         As a manufacturer of industrial products, the Company is occasionally
subjected to various product liability claims. Such claims typically involve
personal injury or wrongful death associated with the use or misuse of the
Company's products. The Company is currently defending certain legal proceedings
involving allegations of product liability relating to products manufactured and
sold by the Company. Historically, such claims have not resulted in material
losses to the Company in any one year, and the Company maintains product
liability insurance in amounts believed by management to be adequate.

         Galion Holding Company (GHC), pursuant to an indemnification it
provided to the seller in connection with GHC's July 1992 acquisition of the
Galion operations, is currently defending a number of legal proceedings
involving product liability claims arising out of products manufactured and sold
prior to the acquisition. These claims are covered by insurance and many of
these cases have been settled. In addition, the acquisition agreement called for
the seller to share in the payment of certain costs related to the defense of
these cases. On December 29, 1998 the Company reached a settlement agreement
with the seller, the terms of which called for the Company to release the seller
from its obligations related to product liability claims under the Galion
acquisition agreement in exchange for a cash payment of $1,050,000.

         A reserve to provide for these product claims was established at the
acquisition date. Since many of the cases have been settled and insurance
coverage exists, management believes that the ongoing costs to defend these
claims will not exceed the amount accrued on the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 1999.

5. CONTINGENCIES - CONTINUED

         Environmental Matters

         The Company's operations are subject to extensive federal, state and
local regulation under environmental laws and regulations concerning, among
other things, emissions into the air, discharges into the waters and the
generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste
and other materials. Inherent in manufacturing operations and in owning real
estate is the risk of environmental liabilities as a result of both current and
past operations, which cannot be predicted with certainty. The Company has
incurred and will continue to incur costs, on an ongoing basis, associated with
environmental regulatory compliance in its business.

         Labor Union Matters

         Certain of the Company's hourly employees are represented by various
labor unions pursuant to collective bargaining agreements which expire between
September 1999 and June 2000.

On February 23, 1995, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) conducted an
election in response to a petition filed by a local union (Union) to represent
the hourly employees at the Company's Macon, Georgia plant. The ballots of
certain employees were challenged as ineligible. The Union filed charges
asserting that the Company committed various unfair labor practices, which
affected the election results, and that the challenged ballots should be
counted. On October 17, 1996, the NLRB upheld the unfair labor practice charges
and on November 5, 1996, the NLRB determined that the results of the election
were in favor of the Union. Management, based upon the opinion of counsel, does
not believe a final decision upholding the Union certification or the unfair
labor practice charges would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

         Other Legal Matters

         The Company is also involved in routine litigation incidental to its
business. Management believes that the resolution of these matters will not
materially affect the consolidated financial statements.

6.       Year 2000 Compliance

         The Company purchases the various computer hardware and software used
in the administration of its financial, manufacturing and engineering processes
from third party suppliers. A centralized computer and software is used for
approximately 90% of the financial and manufacturing applications of the Company
and certification has been received from both the hardware and software
suppliers that these products are Year 2000 compliant. The engineering software
is run on either a LAN (local area network) or individual personal computers
depending on the size of the manufacturing facility.  All the necessary hardware
and software for the engineering is Year 2000 compliant. Additionally, the
Company has various stand alone personal computers and laptop computers that run
word processing, database and spreadsheet software. The Company is currently in
the process of upgrading all the software run on these stand alone computers
with versions that are Year 2000 compliant and estimates completion of this 
project by the end of the Company's fiscal year on September 30, 1999.

         To date, the Company has expended approximately $50,000 to make its
engineering hardware and software and certain of its stand alone computers and
software Year 2000 compliant and estimates that it will expend approximately
$40,000 on its remaining computers and software. These amounts represent
approximately 50% of the Company's information technology budget for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1999 and will be paid from the cash flow from
operations.

         The Company believes that the steps it has taken regarding the Year
2000 issue will allow operations to run normally on January 1, 2000 and
thereafter. The possibility exists however, that certain stand alone computers
or software may not be upgraded timely or unforeseen circumstances may arise
that interrupt certain areas of the Company's business or operations. In the
case of any such occurrence, management believes that it can correct the problem
within a few days and no material interruption of its business or operations
will occur.

         The Company has made no formal assessment concerning the status of its
customers or suppliers regarding the Year 2000 issue.  If any of the Company's
significant suppliers or customers does not successfully and timely become Year
2000 compliant, the Company's business or operations could be adversely
affected. The Company has not yet generated and does not intend to generate any
disaster contingency plans related to the Year 2000 compliance issue.

                 DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION


         Net sales increased 34.9% to $31.2 million for the quarter ended March
31, 1999 (Quarter 1999) from $23.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998
(Quarter 1998). The increase was due primarily to strong sales by the Company's
McClain E-Z Pack and McClain Truck divisions. Sales for McClain E-Z Pack
increased 64.0% or $4.0 million for the Quarter 1999 over the Quarter 1998.
While McClain Truck sales increased 334.9% or $3.7 million during the Quarter
1999 compared to the Quarter 1998. Sales of the Company's other product lines
were flat for the Quarter 1999 compared to the Quarter 1998. The sales of the
McClain Truck division accounted for 16.2% of the Company's sales for the
Quarter 1999 compared to 6.5% of the Company's sales for the Quarter 1998.

         Cost of goods sold increased to 81.9% for the Quarter 1999 from 81.5%
for the Quarter 1998 due primarily to the higher percentage of truck sales
discussed previously. The gross profit margin on manufactured products increased
to 22.9% for the Quarter 1999 compared to 20.9% for the Quarter 1998. This
increase resulted from reduced steel prices and increased production, providing
overhead reductions, at certain of the Company's manufacturing facilities. The
gross profit margin for the McClain Truck division decreased slightly to 6.1%
for the Quarter 1999 from 6.2% for the Quarter 1998.

         Selling, General & Administrative Expenses decreased to 12.22% of net
sales for the Quarter 1999 from 13.8% of net sales for the Quarter 1998 as a
result of the increased sales volume and the continued restructuring of certain
administrative processes.

         Net sales increased 24.9% to $59.0 million for the six month ended
March 31, 1999 (six months 1999) from $47.2 million for the six months ended
March 31, 1998 (six months 1998). The increase was due primarily to strong sales
by the Company's McClain E-Z Pack and McClain Truck divisions. Sales for McClain
E-Z Pack increased 51.0% or $5.7 million for the six month 1999 over the six
months 1998, while McClain Truck sales increased 280.0% or $7.4 million during
the six months 1999 compared to the six months 1998. Sales of the Company's
other product lines were flat for the six months 1999 compared to the six months
1998. The sales of the McClain truck division accounted for 19.2% of the
Company's sales for the six months 1999 compared to 8.5% of the Company's sales
for the six months 1998.

         Cost of goods sold increased to 82.0% for the six months 1999 from
81.4% for the six months 1998 due primarily to the higher percentage of truck
sales discussed previously. The gross profit margin on manufactured products
increased to 22.0% for the six months 1999 compared to 21.0% for the six months
1998. This increase results from reduced steel prices and increased production,
providing overhead reductions, at certain of the Company's manufacturing
facilities. The gross profit margin for the McClain Truck division increased to
6.4% for the six months 1999 from 4.7% for the six months 1998.

         Selling, General & Administrative Expenses decreased to 12.44% of net
sales for the six months 1999 from 13.8% of net sales for the six months 1998 as
a result of the increased sales volume and the continued restructuring of
certain administrative processes.

         The Inventory has increased to $52.8 million at March 31, 1999 from
$38.9 million at September 30, 1998. Approximately $17.5 million of the
inventory consists of trucks and related equipment the Company has dedicated to
its truck ready program. This increase is the result of the Company's decision
in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998 to more aggressively pursue a market for
package units, consisting of a truck chassis and a piece of equipment
manufactured by the Company (Roll-Off Hoists, Refuse Truck Bodies and Dump
Bodies), that it believes is currently expanding.

         The Company had working capital of $47.0 million at March 31, 1999
compared to $41.9 million at September 30, 1998. The ratio of current assets to
current liabilities was 2.59:1 at March 31, 1999 and 2.57:1 at September 30,
1998. The Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.8 million at March 31,
1999. Cash flows used by operations were $4.1 million for the six months ended
March 31, 1999, primarily due to the increased inventory dedicated to the
Company's truck program as discussed previously.

         On March 8, 1999 the Company signed a new agreement with its principal
lender that expanded its existing line of credit to $25 million to provide
additional working capital for the inventory expansion previously discussed. The
Company was in violation of one of its debt covenants at March 31, 1999. The
Bank has issued a waiver of its rights related to this covenant violation.
