The information included in the foregoing consolidated financial statements has
been reviewed by KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, independent public accountants, in
accordance with established standards and procedures for a limited review of
interim financial statements. The statements include all adjustments which
were, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of
the results for the period, and include all adjustments and additional
disclosures proposed by independent public accountants.

ITEM 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and equivalents decreased $2.2 million in the first six months of 1995
primarily due to a significant decrease in payables due to the timing of vendor
payments and increased capital expenditures. The increase in capital
expenditures was due largely to the expansion of the San Marcos, Texas metal
buildings facility. For the six months ended June 30, 1995, domestic short-term
borrowings averaged $8.0 million for 124 days compared to $7.1 million for 59
days in 1994.

The Company currently has revolving credit facilities aggregating $50 million,
provided by four banking institutions, to meet the needs of both the Company
and the Company's subsidiary, Butler Real Estate, Inc. As of June 30, 1995, $9
million of the credit line was utilized to provide a bank letter of credit to
secure insurance obligations. In the second quarter the Company obtained $6.25
million of Industrial Revenue Bond financing to fund expansion of its San
Marcos, Texas facility. The bonds mature in the year 2015, and pay a floating
interest rate. The bonds are also secured by a bank letter of credit issued by
NationsBank of Texas subject to a reimbursement agreement.

Butler Building Systems, Ltd., the Company's United Kingdom subsidiary,
maintains a separate line of credit with its local bank for approximately $2.4
million at current exchange rates. In the second quarter, the Company invested
$2.0 million in its United Kingdom subsidiary to reduce bank debt. Management
believes a combination of funding from the bank line of credit and additional
investment from the Company, as required, will be sufficient to meet liquidity
requirements.

At its meeting in June, the Board of Directors approved a 3 for 2 stock split
and a 50% increase in the quarterly cash dividend. Both the stock split and the
quarterly dividend at the new rate of 15 cents per share on a pre-split basis
were paid July 17, 1995, to stockholders of record on June 30, 1995.

In June 1995, the Vistawall Division completed the purchase of certain assets
of Skywall, Inc., a producer of translucent panel systems sold into the
architectural and industrial markets. This product line complements the
existing Naturalite skylight and Vistawall curtain wall glass systems.

Capital expenditures were $9.2 million for the first six months of 1995
compared to $3.5 million a year ago. The increase is due in large part to the
expansion of the San Marcos, Texas facility. Total capital expenditures are
expected to be approximately $25.0 million in 1995 compared to actual
expenditures of $13.7 million in 1994. The majority of 1995 capital
expenditures will be invested in the Buildings Systems Segment.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales of $206.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 were 18% higher
than a year ago. The majority of the increase is due in large part to increases
in volume in the Building Systems Segment and Other Buildings Segment due to an
improved non-residential construction market. For the six months ended June 30,
1995, net sales were $401.6 million, or a 37% increase over a year ago. The
Buildings Systems Segment and Other Building Products Segment contributed to
the majority of the increase. More specifically, the Buildings Division's U.S.
metal buildings business and Vistawall Division's sales were both sharply
higher than during the same period last year.

The second quarter 1995 consolidated gross profit was $38.0 million compared to
$31.5 million a year ago. The major contributor to the improvement was the
Buildings Systems Segment through increased volume and improved margins. For
the six months ended June 30, 1995, consolidated gross profit was $70.2
million, or a 42% increase over a year ago. The increase was due to improved
results in the Buildings Systems Segment and Other Building Products Segment.

Net earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 were $6.2 million or $.81 per
common share, compared to net earnings of $5.1 million or $.70 per common share
a year ago. The improvement in net earnings was due to the increase in sales
and improved margins of the Building Systems Segment and increased sales of the
Other Building Products Segment. The net earnings for the six months ended June
30, 1995 were $9.8 million or $1.29 per common share, compared to $3.7 million
or $.51 per common share a year ago. The improvement was primarily due to the
increase in volume of business and improved margins in the Building Systems
Segment. The Other Building Products Segment's sales also increased

dramatically with margin as a percent of sales remaining relatively constant.
The Company's European buildings business reported a loss for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 approximately equal to that of a year ago.

                        INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT


The Board of Directors
Butler Manufacturing Company:

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Butler
Manufacturing Company and subsidiaries as of June 30, 1995 and the related
condensed consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows for the
three-month and six month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994. These financial
statements are the responsibility of Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to
financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in
accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which
is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above
for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1994 and the
related consolidated statements of earnings and retained earnings and cash
flows for the year then ended (not included herein); and in our report dated
February 3, 1995, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated
financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the
accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1994 is
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance
sheet from which it has been derived.

SECOND
QUARTER
REPORT 1995
Six Months Ended
June 30, 1995
BMA TOWER PENN VALLEY PARK KANSAS CITY, MO 64108

To Our Shareholders:


Butler's upward trend in sales and earnings continued in the second quarter of
1995. Quarterly sales of $207 million increased 18% from last year's second
quarter, and net income of $6.2 million, or $.81 per share, was 16% above the
level of 1994.

For the first six months of this year, sales were $402 million, up 37% from a
year ago. Year-to-date net earnings of $9.8 million, or $1.29 per share,
compare with earnings of $3.7 million, or $.51 per share, for the first half of
1994.

As a result of our continuing good financial results, and reflecting confidence
in our market position and outlook for future earnings and cash flow, the Board
of Directors at their June meeting approved a 3-for-2 stock split and a 50%
increase in the quarterly cash dividend. All per share amounts above reflect
the effects of the stock split. As previously announced and communicated to
shareholders, both the stock split, and the quarterly dividend at the new rate
of $.15 per share on a pre-split basis, are being paid July 17 to stockholders
of record on June 30.

The improvement in Butler's earnings for the first six months of 1995 was
mostly the result of strong performance by our U.S. metal buildings business.
Their sales and profitability were both sharply higher than during the same
period last year. While we expect this division to continue its sales and
profit growth in the second half of the year, we anticipate that the rate of
improvement will begin to slow as this business was operating at record levels
during the same period in 1994. Current backlog is higher than the exceptional
levels at this time last year, and order rates remain very encouraging.

Butler's Vistawall architectural aluminum business is also achieving
outstanding results in 1995. In June they completed the acquisition of the
Skywall product line from its previous private ownership. The Skywall product
line includes translucent fiberglass panel systems that ideally complement the
existing Naturalite skylight and Vistawall curtain wall glass systems.

From the vantage point of mid-year it is now apparent that our European
operations will not recover in 1995 to the full extent anticipated earlier.
Their year-to-date loss is about equivalent to last year, and, while their
backlog is up 66% and their second half will show definite improvement, they
will not achieve break-even profitability for the year, as we had planned.

Butler's total backlog at the close of the second quarter was $270 million, up
6% from the same time last year. While we are monitoring closely the sometimes
conflicting signals being given by external economic indicators, it is clear
from our own prospect activity, proposal levels, order rates, and current
backlog, that 1995 will be another excellent year for Butler.

                               Cordially yours,

                               /s/ Robert H. West
