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, 1997 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:

                                    March 31,          December 31,
                                      1998                 1997
                                ---------------       --------------
   Raw materials............... $    18,878,339       $   16,896,669
   Work-in-progress............       4,553,082            4,553,082
   Finished goods..............       9,439,651            6,955,035
                                ---------------       --------------
                                $    32,871,072       $   28,404,786
                                ===============       ==============

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.  The Company has historically had favorable and 
unfavorable adjustments in the third and fourth quarters 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 - INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was 
40.5% compared to 40.6% for the three months ended March 31, 1997.

NOTE D - EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," retroactively for all 
periods presented.  SFAS No. 128 requires the Company to present "basic" and 
"diluted" earnings per share.  Basic earnings per share is computed by 
dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock 
outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share gives effect to 
all potentially dilutive securities that were outstanding during the period.
The Company's diluted earnings per share is computed as follows:

                                             Three Months Ended March 31,
                                                  1998          1997
                                                  ----          ----

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

Results of Operations

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 increased $11,320,042 to 
$55,493,345 from $44,173,303 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997.  Net 
income increased $702,334 to $2,387,733 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 
from $1,685,399 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997.  Both basic and diluted 
earnings per share advanced $.07 to $.23 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 
when compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1997.  Basic and diluted 
earnings per share for 1997 have been adjusted for the two (2) 5% common 
stock dividends declared and paid in 1997.

The Company experienced growth in all of its product lines.  The most 
significant increases were in the Company's dry freight, refrigerated and bus 
product lines.  The Company's new product lines, armored trucks, trolley cars 
and mid size buses and Spartan Service Vans accounted for 7.9% of the Company's
revenue growth in the first quarter.  The Company also experienced considerable 
growth in each of the geographical areas it serves.

The Company's gross profit percentage increased .7% to 16.9% for the quarter 
ended March 31, 1998 from 16.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 1997.  Both 
direct labor and overhead expenses as a percentage of revenues declined 
slightly when compared to the comparable amounts a year ago while material 
cost rose slightly.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were 8.9% of revenues for both 
the quarter ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997.  The actual dollar 
increase of $996,847 is attributed to the increase in revenues.

Interest expense increased $67,168 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 to 
$417,013 from $349,845 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997.  The increase is 
attributable to higher borrowings under the Company's revolving line of credit 
to finance the increased levels of accounts receivable and inventories 
resulting from the increase in revenues.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

Funds available under the Company's revolving credit agreement were adequate 
to finance operations and provide for capital expenditures during the quarter 
ended March 31, 1998.  Net income was the most significant component of 
operating cash flow followed by depreciation and amortization.  Increases in 
both accounts receivable and inventories were the most significant uses of 
operating cash flows during the period.  The significant increase in revenues 
was responsible for the increase in both receivables and inventory.

The major investing activities during the quarter were the capacity 
expansions at the Company's Goshen, Indiana; Jonestown, Pennsylvania; and 
Griffin, Georgia facilities.  They are all complete and in operation and add 
15 to 20% additional capacity above what was available in 1997.

The principal financing activity during the quarter was the use of the 
Company's revolving credit agreement to finance operations and capital 
expenditures.  The Company had $3.3 million available under its revolving 
credit agreement at March 31, 1998.

The Company anticipates the cash flow from operations and amounts available 
under its revolving line of credit will be sufficient to meet the Company's 
cash needs during 1998.

The Company is in the process of implementing new computer software that will 
allow it to process transactions in the year 2000 and beyond as well as 
provide better operating information timely once completely installed.  The 
Company has established an implementation team and provided them with the 
training and resources necessary to have all Company facilities year 2000 
compliant well in advance of December 31, 1999.

This report contains forward-looking statements, other than historical facts,
which reflect the view of the Company's management with respect to future 
events.  Although management believes that the expectations reflected in such 
forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that the 
expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it 
can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct.  
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from 
such expectations include, without limitation, limitations on the 
availability of chassis on which the Company's product is dependent, 
availability of raw materials and severe interest rate increases.  The 
Company assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements or to 
update the reasons actual results could differ from those contemplated by 
such forward-looking statements.
