NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
McM Corporation and Subsidiaries
March 31, 1996
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,
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included
in McM's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.
NOTE B -- INCOME TAXES
The income tax provision is based upon the estimated effective tax rate
for the year. This rate varies from the normal federal income tax rate of
thirty-four percent (34%) because of the utilization of tax return net
operating loss carryforwards.
NOTE C -- STOCK OPTION PLAN AND EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per common share are based on 4,675,038 shares of Common Stock
issued and outstanding and exclude the effect of common stock equivalents.
Stock options had no effect on the computation of earnings per share.
NOTE D -- CONTINGENCIES
Litigation: In the normal course of operations, certain subsidiaries of
the Company have been named as parties to various pending and threatened
litigation. While the outcome of some of these matters cannot be estimated
with certainty, it is the opinion of management, after consultation with legal
counsel, that the resolution of this litigation will not have a material
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 three months ended March 31, 1996, show net
income of $671,000 or $.14 per share, up 13% from net income of $594,000 or
$.13 per share for the first three months of 1995. Consolidated gross revenues
for the first three months of 1996 were $13,826,000 compared to $11,646,000 for
the same period in 1995.
Shareholders' equity at March 31, 1996, totalled $23,351,000 or $4.99 per
share compared to $23,240,000 or $4.97 per share at December 31, 1995.
Consolidated assets totalled $124,100,000 at March 31, 1996, compared to
$126,568,000 at December 31, 1995.
Total net premium revenues were $12,758,000 for the first quarter of 1996
compared to $10,590,000 for the first quarter of 1995, an increase of
approximately 20.5%. This increase in net premiums reflects growth in
commercial automobile and private passenger automobile premium writings and is
in line with management's expectations of controlled growth in these lines of
business.
The overall claims loss and settlement expense ratio for the first three
months of 1996 decreased to 64.9% compared to 65.5% for the same period in
1995. This decline in the overall loss ratio is attributed to improvement in
ongoing lines of business. Overall, development of prior years' loss reserves
was not significant during the first quarter of 1996. Losses incurred relating
to prior accident years totalled approximately $340,000, most of which related
to the Company's discontinued workers compensation programs.
Management's continuing focus on expense control, increased productivity,
sustained growth in premium writings and more efficient operations continues to
be reflected in the ratio of underwriting, acquisition, and administrative
expenses to net earned premiums. This ratio declined one-half of a percentage
point to 37.3% for the first quarter of 1996 compared to 37.8% for the same
period in 1995.
8
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Consolidated gross investment income totalled $1,007,000 for the first
three months of 1996, compared to $1,021,000 for the same period in 1995. This
decline in investment income is primarily the result of lower investment yields
on short-term investments during the first quarter of 1996 and a small
reduction in invested assets. Invested assets totalled $62.0 million at March
31, 1996, compared to $63.0 million at December 31, 1995, and $63.7 million at
March 31, 1995. As previously disclosed, the decline in invested asset
balances experienced by the Company during 1993 and 1994 slowed significantly
in 1995. The decline resulted from planned reductions in net written premiums
and the settlement of claims related to discontinued property and casualty
insurance programs. The decrease in invested balances for the first quarter of
1996 is attributed to the change in the unrealized gain/loss on fixed maturity
securities available-for-sale and continued settlement of claims related to
discontinued property and casualty insurance programs. The Company experienced
unrealized losses of $560,000 during the first quarter of 1996 on securities
available-for-sale and overall loss reserves decreased by $3.8 million during
this period.
Cash used by operating activities was $243,000 for the first three months
of 1996 as compared to $602,000 during the same period last year. The cash
used by operating activities reflects an overall decrease in liabilities of
$2.6 million for the first quarter of 1996. Cash and short-term investments
held by the Company at March 31, 1996, were approximately $20.8 million as
compared to $16.5 million at December 31, 1995.
The Board of Directors did not declare a dividend to shareholders during
the first three months of 1996. The Board will carefully consider the
Company's earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and other
relevant factors when determining whether to declare dividends in the future.
