SUPREME INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND OPINION OF MANAGEMENT

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been 
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do 
not include all of the information and financial statement disclosures 
necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial position, results 
of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting 
principles.  In the opinion of management, the information furnished herein 
includes all adjustments necessary to reflect a fair statement of the 
interim periods reported.  All adjustments are of a normal and recurring 
nature.  The December 31, 1995 consolidated balance sheet data was derived 
from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures 
required by generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE B - INVENTORIES

Inventories, which are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost 
determined on the first-in-first-out method, consist of the following:

                                  September 30,        December 31,
                                      1996                1995  
                                  -------------        ------------
    Raw materials................. $ 11,810,241         $11,599,585
    Work-in-progress..............    3,279,631           3,113,990
    Finished goods................    6,470,813           5,430,696
                                  -------------        ------------
                                   $ 21,560,685        $ 20,144,271
                                  =============        ============

The valuation of raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods 
inventories at interim dates is based upon a gross profit percentage method 
and bills of materials.  Since 1989 the Company has had favorable 
adjustments in the fourth quarter resulting from the annual physical 
inventories.  The Company is continuing to refine its costing procedures 
for valuation of interim inventories in an effort to minimize the annual 
book to physical inventory adjustments.

NOTE C - LONG TERM DEBT

On February 20, 1996, the Company amended its revolving credit agreement to
extend the expiration two years to April 30, 1999.  In addition, the 
revolving credit line was increased from $12.0 million to $20.0 million for 
the period each year from February 1 through June 30, and the credit line 
was increased from $12.0 million to $14.0 million for all other months of 
the year. 

On April 10, 1996, the Company closed on a $3.2 million Industrial Revenue 
Bond with the California Statewide Communities Development Authority.  The 
proceeds were used to purchase the Company's California manufacturing 
facility.  The variable interest rate bonds are amortized over 15 years.  
The interest rate (3.8% at the end of September) is determined by the 
remarketing agent based on comparable tax-exempt obligations.

NOTE D - STOCK DIVIDEND

On November 29, 1995, the Board of Directors declared a 10% common stock 
dividend payable on December 22, 1995, to stockholders of record on 
December 15, 1995.  Earnings per share and weighted average shares 
outstanding for all periods in 1995 have been restated to reflect the 10% 
stock dividend.

NOTE E - INCOME TAXES

For the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996, the 
Company's wholly-owned subsidiary in Honduras reported a net loss which for 
tax purposes is a net operating loss carryforward.  The Company has 
established a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset attributable to 
the net operating loss carryforward of the Honduran subsidiary.  The 
valuation allowance has increased the Company's effective tax rate by 
approximately 1% for the three-months and nine-month periods ended 
September 30, 1996 versus same periods in 1995.  

ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Results of Operations

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 decreased $7,878,215 
to $121,364,162 while revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1996 
increased $1,377,237 to $38,813,812 compared to the corresponding periods 
in 1995.  Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 decreased 
$1,449,725 to $4,306,408 while net income for the three months ended 
September 30, 1996 decreased $388,975 to $1,240,486 compared to the 
corresponding periods in 1995.  The decrease in revenues for the nine months 
ended September 30, 1996 can be attributed to the following areas.  
Regionally, the Company's large Northeastern and Midwestern markets were not 
nearly as strong as in 1995.  Additionally, sales were restricted by the 
lack of availability of smaller chassis used in the Company's 
Iner-City (trademark) product line.  Revenues were also negatively impacted 
by a decline in overall fleet business and the absence of a significant 
Government Service Administration contract that did not repeat in 1996.  
The Company's shuttle bus business for 1996 is also less than 1995 because 
of delays in the awarding of municipal contracts and decreases in the number 
of municipal contracts let for bid.  The Company's business has begun to 
strengthen as evidenced by the increase in sales in the third quarter over 
the comparable prior year period.

The Company's gross profit percentage declined .4% for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1996 to 16.4% and declined 1.5% to 16.4% for the three months 
ended September 30, 1996.  The Company has experienced decreases in material 
costs in both the nine months and quarter ended September 30, 1996.  These 
decreases have been offset by increases in both direct labor and overhead 
costs.  While the decline in overall volume has caused the overhead expenses 
to increase as a percentage of revenues due to fixed expenses that do not 
vary with volume, other factors have contributed to the increase.  The 
Company is incurring start-up expenses at its new production facilities to 
produce fiberglass reinforced plywood and hardwood flooring.  While some 
benefit may be realized in the fourth quarter from the hardwood flooring 
facility, the major benefits from both facilities will not be realized until 
1997.  The Company has also incurred costs in connection with the start-up 
of three new distribution facilities as well as the development of two new 
major product lines.  The Freedom One product line serves the transportation 
needs of those in wheelchairs while Pro Fleet Conversions meets the needs 
of a wide variety of users needing customized van or pickup trucks for 
commercial use.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues 
increased 1.2% to 9.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 
increased .6% to 9.9% for the three months ended September 30, 1996 compared 
to the corresponding periods in 1995.  The increase can be principally 
attributed to the expenses of the Company's sales force at its new 
distribution facilities and its two new product lines. The Company has also 
increased its trade show and advertising presence, updated its literature 
on existing product lines and developed literature for its new product lines.

The effective tax rate (income taxes as a percent of pretax income) is 
approximately 1% greater for the 1996 periods compared to the 1995 periods.  
This increase is attributed to the valuation allowance established for the 
deferred tax asset which arises from the current year's tax loss carryforward
of the Honduran subsidiary.

The decline in net income for the quarter ended and nine months ended 
September 30, 1996 was caused by the factors discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash flows from operating activities were $4.7 million for both the nine 
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.  Inventories increased $1.4 
million reflecting the slightly higher revenues experienced in the quarter 
as well as the need to carry additional chassis in inventory to support the 
sales of mid-sized buses and handicap vans.

The major capital expenditure during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 
was $3.5 million for the purchase and renovation of a California 
manufacturing plant consisting of 19 acres and a 94,000 square feet facility.  
The facility was financed with a $3.2 million floating rate industrial 
revenue bond.

Other major expenditures during the nine months were for the Company's 
patented fiberglass reinforced panel ("FRP") machine, the Honduran hardwood 
flooring plant and the purchase of land and construction of a new 
distribution facility to service the Louisville - Cincinnati area.  The 
distribution facility and the hardwood flooring facility are complete and 
the "FRP" machine is scheduled to be complete in the first quarter of 1997.

Proceeds from the exercise of warrants and stock options were $.9 million 
during the nine months ended September 30, 1996.  Prior to the expiration 
date of the Company's 1993 Callable Warrants on June 9, 1996, 278,687 of 
such warrants were exercised for cash, 2,141,705 were exchanged for Class A 
Common Stock (on a 5 Warrants for 1 Class A Common Share basis) and 60,370 
warrants expired.

The Company believes cash flow from operating activities and funds available 
under the Company's revolving credit agreement will continue to be 
sufficient to finance the balance of 1996 operations and planned capital 
expenditures.  The Company had $5 million available under its revolving 
credit agreement at September 30, 1996.

The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.6 to 1.0 at 
September 30, 1996.
