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:

                                    June 30,           December 31,
                                      1998                 1997    
                                ---------------      ---------------
     Raw materials...........      $ 17,332,087         $ 16,896,669
     Work-in-progress........         4,588,421            4,553,082
     Finished goods..........         8,207,739            6,955,035
                                ---------------      ---------------
                                   $ 30,128,247         $ 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 - DEBT

On June 23, 1998 the Company signed an amendment to it's revolving credit 
agreement that increased it's borrowing availability to $18,000,000 from 
$14,000,000 for the period July 1 through January 31 and to $25,000,000 from 
$20,000,000 for the period February 1 through June 30.  The amendment also 
provides for the Company to reduce it's interest rate and commitment fee 
based on it's leverage ratio, as defined by the bank.  The amendment requires 
that working capital not fall below $10,000,000 ($38.7 million at June 30, 
1998) and tangible capital funds not be less than $30,000,000 plus an amount 
equal to 50% of cumulative net income ($48.8 million at June 30, 1998).  The 
amendment also deleted the covenants restricting dividend payments and 
limiting capital expenditures.  The term of the credit agreement has been 
extended through April 30, 2001.  The Company had $3.3 million available 
under its revolving credit agreement on June 30, 1998.

NOTE D - STOCK DIVIDEND

On May 12, 1998, the Board of Directors declared a 5% common stock dividend 
payable on June 1, 1998, to shareholders of record on May 25, 1998.  


NOTE E - 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 is computed by 
reflecting potential dilution from the exercise of outstanding stock options. 
All share and per share data have been adjusted to reflect the stock dividends 
declared and paid in 1998 and 1997.

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

Results of Operations

Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 increased $5.0 million to $61.3 
million from $56.3 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.  Revenue for the six 
months ended June 30, 1998 increased $16.4 million to $116.8 million from 
$100.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  Basic earnings per 
share were $.32 cents for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 compared to $.31 
cents for the comparable prior year quarter.  Diluted earnings per share were 
$.32 cents for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 compared to $.30 cents for 
comparable prior year quarter.  Basic earnings per share increased $.08 cents 
to $.54 cents from $.46 cents for the six months ended June 30, 1998 while 
diluted earnings per share increased $.07 cents to $.53 cents from the 
comparable prior year period.  Basic and diluted earnings per share for all 
periods presented have been adjusted for the common stock dividends declared 
and paid in 1998 and 1997.

The Company continues to experience growth in all of it's product lines with 
the most significant gains coming from its dry freight, insulated and bus 
products.  The Company's new product lines, trolley cars, armored trucks and 
Spartan service vans, accounted for 5.4% of the Company's revenue during the 
six months ended June 30, 1998.  The armored truck growth is being hampered 
by a chassis shortage caused by increased demand for Allison heavy duty 
transmissions.

The Company's gross profit percentage increased .6% to 19.1% from 18.5% for 
the three months ended June 30, 1998 and .6% to 18.0% from 17.4% for the six 
months ended June 30, 1998 when compared to the comparable prior year 
periods.  The Company's raw material and direct labor costs were relatively 
unchanged as a percentage of revenues when compared to the comparable prior 
year periods.  The improvement in gross profit for both the quarter and six 
months ended June 30, 1998 is attributed to fixed expenses in the overhead 
pool that do not increase when revenues increase.  

Selling, general and administrative expense were 8.6% and 8.8% for the 
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998 respectively compared to 7.9% and 
8.4% for the prior year comparable periods.  

Interest expense was .8% of revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 
compared to .7% for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 and .8% of revenues for 
the six months ended June 30, 1998 and June 30, 1997.  The increase of 
$76,046 in the quarter ended June 30, 1998 and $143,214 for the six months 
ended June 30, 1998 is attributed to increased pool chassis interest combined 
with higher borrowings under the Company's revolving credit line to finance 
the increase in inventories and accounts receivable resulting from the 
increase in revenues in 1998.

The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 
1998 was 41.2% and 40.9%, respectively, compared to 39.6% and 39.9% for the  
three and six months ended June 30, 1997.  The lower effective tax rate in 
1997 was principally attributable to research and experimentation tax credits.


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 six 
months ended June 30, 1998.  Net income of $5.9 million and depreciation and 
amortization of $1.5 million were the most significant components of 
operating cash flow.  Increases in both inventories and accounts receivable 
were the most significant uses of operating cash flows during the six months 
ended June 30, 1998.  

The Company invested $3.3 million in property, plant and equipment during the 
first six months of 1998.  Major capacity additions were completed in Goshen, 
Indiana; Jonestown, Pennsylvania; and Griffin, Georgia.  These additions 
increased the Company's capacity by approximately 20% over that available in 
1997.

As discussed in Note C of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, on 
June 23, 1998 the Company amended its credit agreement.

The Company anticipates that cash flows from operations and amounts available 
under it's revolving line of credit will be sufficient to meet the Company's 
cash needs during the remaining part of 1998 and for the next twelve months.  

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 more 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.
