                MOTOR CLUB OF AMERICA AND NORTH EAST INSURANCE COMPANY
                          NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
                    CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 __________

Note A - Basis of Presentation:

        The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income
        reflects a combination of: 1) 41,781 of the outstanding shares
        of North East Insurance Company ("North East") based upon an
        exchange ratio of 0.19048 of a share of Motor Club of America
        ("Motor Club") Common Stock for each outstanding share of
        North East; and 2) the remaining outstanding shares and all
        other dilutive shares of North East presently issued but not
        outstanding based upon a cash price of $3.30 per share.  The
        total purchase price is therefore assumed to be approximately
        $10.483 million.

        With respect to North East, certain accounts have been
        reclassified in the financial statements to conform to Motor
        Club's presentation.

Note B - Goodwill:

        Under the purchase method of accounting for business
        combinations, the total purchase price is allocated to the
        acquired assets and liabilities based on their fair values.
        Any differences between the excess of the cost of the
        transaction and the fair value of North East's net assets
        acquired is recorded as goodwill, which will be amortized on
        a straight-line basis over twenty years after the merger.

Note C - Convertible Subordinated Debentures:

         In connection with its acquisition of North East, on
         September 23, 1999, Motor Club issued $10 million of
         Convertible Subordinated Debentures ("Debentures"), in
         one series, under a plan previously approved by its
         shareholders.

        The Debentures are due on September 23, 2009 and bear an
        interest rate of 8.44%, which is 2.5% over the London
        Interbank Offered Rate, fixed as of September 23, 1999, the
        date the series was issued.

        At each holder's option, the Debenture is convertible at any
        time, in whole or in part, into 645,578 of Motor Club's common
        shares ($10 million divided by 130% of the average trading
        price of  Motor Club's common stock over the twenty day period
        immediately prior to September 23, 1999 ("Conversion Price")).
        The applicable Conversion Price is $15.49.

                 CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              __________

Note C - Convertible Subordinated Debentures (Continued):

        Members of Motor Club's Executive Committee purchased
        $9,253,785 of the $10 million in Debentures issued.  If the
        members of the Executive Committee convert those Debentures,
        their percentage ownership in Motor Club's common stock will
        substantially increase.  Based on Motor Club's common shares
        outstanding as of September 30, 1999 and those subsequently
        issued to North East shareholders as part of their elections
        under the Merger, the Executive Committee could increase its
        collective percentage stock ownership from the current 42.2%
        to 53.8%.

Note D - Earnings per Share:

        The weighted average number of outstanding common shares has
        been adjusted to reflect the additional Motor Club shares
        which are assumed to be issued to North East stockholders as
        described in Note A. The weighted average number of potential
        outstanding common shares has been adjusted to reflect the
        conversion of the debentures described in Note C.  Net income
        available to common shareholders for purposes of the diluted
        earnings per share computation excludes interest expense (net
        of tax) applicable to the debentures.  For the nine months
        ended September 30, 1999, basic and diluted income per share
        are the same because the dilutive computation would be anti-
        dilutive on a per share basis.
