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, 1999 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,
                                      2000                 1999
                                  -------------        ------------

                                  ------------         ------------

                                  ============         ============

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 quarterly 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 book to physical inventory adjustments.


NOTE C - INCOME TAXES
---------------------

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2000
was 39.8% compared to 40.8% for the three months ended September 30, 1999.
The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2000

NOTE E - DEBT
-------------

On May 31, 2000, the Company signed an amendment extending its credit
agreement to April 30, 2003.  In addition, the amount available under its
revolving credit agreement was increased to $20,000,000 from July 1 to
January 31 and increasing to $27,000,000 during the period each year from
February 1 through June 30.  The limits had previously been $18,000,000 and
$25,000,000, respectively.  The larger facility is to accommodate the
Company's large  fleet orders that normally occur during the first and second
quarters.


NOTE F - COMMON STOCK DIVIDEND
------------------------------

On May 1, 2000, the Company's Board of Directors declared a 5% common stock
dividend payable on May 22, 2000 to stockholders of record on May 15, 2000.

NOTE G - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
---------------------------------------------

In December 1999, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements"; SAB 101 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to
recognize revenue, and provides guidelines for disclosure related to revenue
recognition policies.  This guidance is required to be implemented in the
fourth quarter of 2000.  The Company is currently reviewing this guidance in
order to determine the impact, if any, on its consolidated financial
statements.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and
hedging activities.  It requires the Company to recognize all derivatives as
either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those
instruments at fair value.  It further provides criteria for derivative
instruments to be designated as fair value, cash flow, or foreign currency
hedges, and establishes accounting standards for reporting changes in the
fair value of the derivative instruments.  Upon adoption, the Company will be
required to adjust hedging instruments to fair value in the balance sheet and
recognize the offsetting gains or losses as adjustments to be reported in net
income or other comprehensive income, as appropriate.  The Company will
adopt SFAS No. 133 in the first quarter of 2001.  Management does not
believe the adoption of SFAS No. 133 will have a material effect on the
Company's results of operations or financial position.


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

Results of Operations
---------------------

Revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 declined $13.0 million to
$54.0 million from $67.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999.
The primary reason was the timing of the large fleet deliveries that are
normally delivered in the first and second quarter.  During 1999, $10.0
million of fleet business normally delivered in the first six months was
delivered in the third quarter.  Additionally, revenues in the three months
ended September 30, 2000 were adversely effected by rising fuel costs and
interest rates.

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased $3.9 million
to $193.8 million from $189.9 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1999.  While revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and
September 30, 1999 are relatively unchanged, the Company has experienced a
slowing in order intake related to

                                Page 9 of 14

<PAGE>

higher fuel costs and interest rates that could affect fourth quarter
revenues.  The Company's backlog at September 30, 2000 was $61.9 million.
Nearly one-third of the backlog was in the Company's bus division.  The
Company has plans to increase capacity and production in this division,
however, these plans will not be implemented soon enough to benefit revenues
in the fourth quarter of 2000.

Gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the three months ended September
30, 2000 was 16.7% as compared to 17.3% for the three months ended September
30, 1999.  The decline of 0.6% is primarily attributed to the $13.0 million
or 19.4% decline in revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2000.  For
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 gross profit as a percentage of
revenues was relatively unchanged at 16.7% as compared to 16.8% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $6.3 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $5.9 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1999.  For the nine months ended September 30,
2000, selling, general and administrative expenses were $19.7 million
compared to $16.6 million for the comparable prior year period.  Depreciation
expenses relating to the Company's new operating software represented the
largest dollar increase in both the quarter and nine months ended September
30, 2000.  The investment in software is being depreciated over three years.
The other significant factors causing the increases were professional fees
relating to the implementation and increased salaries and wages in
engineering, inventory control and bill of materials in connection with the
Company's goal to obtain more accurate and timely information to improve
overall operations of the Company.

Interest expense was $0.8 million for both the quarters ended September 30,
2000 and September 30, 1999, respectively.  Interest expense for the nine
months ended September 30, 2000 was $2.4 million compared to $1.7 million for
the comparable prior year period.  The increase for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 relates to the $17.1 million term loan used in 1999 for
the purchase of 1.7 million shares of the Company's Class A Common stock and,
to a lesser extent, increased interest on chassis which the Company uses for
the manufacture of its products.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was $1.2 million or
$0.11 cents per diluted share compared to $2.9 million or $0.26 per diluted
share for the three months ended September 30, 1999.  The primary reason for
the decrease was the $13.0 million revenue decline and the factors discussed
above.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, net income was $6.2
million or $0.55 per diluted share compared to $8.2 million or $0.66 per
diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

Cash flow from operations was adequate to fund the Company's operations,
provide for capital expenditures and fund the stock repurchase program for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000.  Net income combined with
depreciation and amortization was the major source of cash flow.  The decline
in inventory of $9.0 million and accounts receivable of $2.2 million relates
to the lower revenues experienced in the third quarter as well as new systems
and procedures put in place to better manage inventory.  Offsetting the
decreases in inventory and accounts receivable were reductions of accounts
payable of $4.1 million and $1.9 million in accrued liabilities relating to
the lower revenues experienced in the third quarter of 2000.

Capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 totaled
$6.9 million.  Major expenditures during the period were for the acquisition
of and improvements to the Company's manufacturing facility in North Carolina
for $2.5 million, $0.6 million for a distribution facility in the Cleveland,
Ohio area, $0.4 million for a distribution facility in St. Louis, Missouri
and $0.2 million for property to construct a distribution facility in the
Columbus, Ohio area.  The balance of the expenditures were for manufacturing
equipment and facility improvements at the Company's manufacturing
facilities.

The major financing activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2000
was the acquisition of $1.5 million of the Company's Class A Common Stock in
open market transactions.  The Company was also able to reduce its long-term
debt by $7.1 million during the period.

The Company anticipates that cash flow from operations and funds available
under the Company's revolving credit agreement will be sufficient to fund
operations during the balance of 2000.
