Motion Filed in MCA Case to Disburse Monies to Certain Creditors
                  Several Other Developments Also Announced

    SOUTHFIELD, Mich., May 10 -- A motion has been filed in U.S.
Bankruptcy court to allow the Conservator of MCA Financial Corp. to disburse
$6.5 million to certain MCA creditors.  B. N. Bahadur, Conservator of MCA and
CEO of BBK, Ltd., a leading turnaround and revitalization company, made the
announcement today.
    These funds represent monies collected by MCA between January 29, 1999,
through March 31, 1999.  If the motion is approved, these funds will be
disbursed to governmental agencies, including FHLMC, FHMA, GNMA, MSHDA, Chase
Bank and other secured creditors.  No hearing date has yet been set to
determine when these monies will be disbursed.  Monies collected beginning
April 1, 1999, would be disbursed as they come in through ordinary business
processes.
    Bahadur announced several other MCA developments, including:

    * A motion was filed to approve the sale of certain residential properties
and related mortgage notes.  This portfolio has approximately 280 properties
owned by MCA affiliates and Detroit Revitalization, Inc.  If the motion is
approved, these properties are scheduled to be auctioned on June 1, 1999;
    * Pursuant to an order of the bankruptcy court, MCA has transferred MSHDA
loans to MSHDA's designated servicer.  This includes approximately 600 loans
valued at approximately $30 million.
    * A plan is in place to vacate MCA's Southfield, Mich., building by
May 31, 1999; and,
    * The "Section 341" meeting on April 28 to address creditor's issues
was constructive and "lightly attended" by creditors;

    On January 28, 1999, Bahadur was named Conservator of MCA by Patrick
McQueen, Financial Institutions Bureau Commissioner for the State of Michigan.
The order allows the Conservator to do "all things necessary" in the best
interests of the general public to oversee and manage the assets of
approximately 11,000 mortgages and land contracts valued at $536 million.
