                     MONMOUTH CAPITAL CORPORATION
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          SEPTEMBER 30, 1997

NOTE 1 - ACCOUNTING POLICY

The   interim  consolidated  financial  statements  furnished
herein reflect all adjustments which were, in the opinion  of
management,   necessary  to  present  fairly  the   financial
position,   results  of  operations,  and  cash   flows    at
September  30,  1997 and for  all  periods  presented.    All
adjustments  made  in  the interim period were of  a   normal
recurring   nature.    Certain  footnote  disclosures   which
would  substantially duplicate   the   disclosures  contained
in   the   audited   financial statements and  notes  thereto
included   in   the   annual  report  of   Monmouth   Capital
Corporation (the Company) for the year ended March  31,  1997
have   been   omitted.   Certain amounts in the  consolidated
financial  statements    for    prior   periods   have   been
reclassified.    These  reclassifications have no  effect  on
net income.


NOTE 2 - LOANS RECEIVABLE

In  conjunction with the sale of manufactured  homes,   loans
totaling  $577,015  were  made  for  the  six  months   ended
September  30,  1997.   Loans are primarily  at  10%-15%  for
fifteen years and secured by the homes.

Collections and other decreases of loans receivable  totalled
$569,604 for the six months ended September 30, 1997.

On  April  15,  1997,  the  Company  foreclosed  on  property
securing the J. Trombe Flooring Co. loan.  On April 30, 1997,
the Company signed an agreement to sell this property back to
the owners of J. Trombe Flooring Co. for $400,000.  This sale
was  closed in August, 1997.  The Company incurred a loss  of
approximately  $12,000,  which was written  off  against  the
allowance.

NOTE 3 - DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

For  the  three months ended September 30, 1997, the  Company
received  $81,704 from the Dividend Reinvestment  and   Stock
Purchase  Plan (DRIP).  There were 24,280 new shares  issued,
resulting in 1,470,286 shares outstanding.  The total  amount
received  from  the DRIP  for the six months ended  September
30, 1997 amounted to $187,739.

                 MONMOUTH CAPITAL CORPORATION
             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
       OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                   
MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

Net  cash  used  by operating activities for the  six  months
ended September 30, 1997 amounted to $259,738 as compared  to
$377,153  for the six months ended September 30, 1996.   This
decrease  in  net  cash  used  by  operating  activities   is
primarily  due  to  a smaller increase in  manufactured  home
inventory of The Mobile Home Store, Inc. (MHS), the Company's
wholly-owned subsidiary.  Inventory increased by $335,972 for
the  six  months ended September 30, 1996 as compared  to  an
increase  of $293,671 for the six months ended September  30,
1997.

Loans  Receivable increased by $7,411 during the  six  months
ended  September 30, 1997.  This was the result of new  loans
made of $577,015 offset by $569,604 in collections.

Inventory  increased by $335,972 during the six months  ended
September  30,  1997 as a result  of increased  purchases  of
manufactured  homes for sale to be used  as  models  for  new
sales center in Ohio and New York.

Loans  payable  increased by $239,450 during the  six  months
ended  September  30, 1997.  Proceeds from these  loans  were
used  to  finance inventory purchases as well as manufactured
home sales to customers.

Effective August 28, 1995, the Company implemented a Dividend
Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (DRIP).  Under the terms
of  the DRIP, shareholders who participate may invest all  or
part  of  their dividends in additional shares of the Company
at  approximately 95% of the market price.  Shareholders  may
also  purchase additional shares at approximately 95% of  the
market  price by making optional cash payments.  For the  six
months  ended September 30, 1997, the Company raised $187,739
from the DRIP, resulting in 61,822 new shares issued.


MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATION

Income is comprised primarily of sales of manufactured homes,
interest  income  and rental income.  Sales  of  manufactured
homes  amounted  to  $1,160,936 for the  three  months  ended
September  30,  1977 as compared to $493,297  for  the  three
months  ended September 30, 1996 and $2,035,332 for  the  six
months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to $1,070,782 for
the  six  months  ended  September 30,  1996.  MHS  has  been
experiencing  increased sales since its inception  in  fiscal
1994.  MHS currently has six sales centers in operation.

                MONMOUTH CAPITAL CORPORATION
             MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT'D)

Rental  income  amounted to $47,362  for  the  quarter  ended
September  30,  1997 as compared to $44,630 for  the  quarter
ended September 30, 1996 and $93,872 for the six months ended
September 30, 1997 as compared to $88,767 for the six  months
ended  September 30, 1996.  Rental income is attributable  to
the Company's purchase of a net-leased industrial building on
March  31, 1994.  Interest income decreased from $93,741  for
the  quarter  ended  September 30, 1996 to  $59,420  for  the
quarter  ended September 30, 1997 and from $173,334  for  the
six  months ended September 30, 1996 to $130,040 for the  six
months  ended September 30, 1997.  This was the result  of  a
decrease   in  Securities  Available  for  Sale.   Securities
Available for Sale amounted to $427,468 at September 30, 1997
as compared to $1,142,318 at September 30, 1996.

The  increase  in  Cost  of Sales of Manufactured  Homes  and
Selling  Expense is directly attributable to the increase  in
sales  of  manufactured  homes made  by  MHS.   Salaries  and
Employee  Benefits  and Professional Fees  increased  from  a
total of $59,788 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996  to
$109,907  for the quarter ended September 30, 1997  and  from
$141,803  for  the  six months ended September  30,  1996  to
$200,081  for the six months ended September 30, 1997.   This
increase  is primarily due to increased personnel.   Interest
expense   decreased  from  $32,498  for  the  quarter   ended
September 30, 1996 to $20,481 for the quarter ended September
30,  1997 and from $57,980 for the six months ended September
30,  1996  to $42,423 for the six months ended September  30,
1997.   The decrease in interest expense is due to a decrease
in  loans payable.  The balance of loans payable amounted  to
$713,694  at September 30, 1997 as compared to $1,408,073  at
September  30, 1996.  Other Expenses increased  from  $71,154
for  the quarter ended September 30, 1996 to $148,982 for the
quarter  ended September 30, 1997 and from $175,743  for  the
six  months ended September 30, 1996 to $275,857 for the  six
months ended September 30, 1997.  This increase was primarily
due to the expansion of the operations of MHS.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The  Company  is currently engaged in real estate activities,
including the sale and financing of manufactured homes.   The
Company  has  a  $1,400,000  line  of  credit  with  Deutsche
Financial Services to finance its inventory purchases.  As of
September  30, 1997, $704,739 of the line was utilized.   The
Company's ability to generate adequate cash to meet its needs
is   dependent  primarily  on  its  real  estate  investment,
leveraging of its real estate investment, the success of  the
sale   and   financing  of  manufactured  homes,  collections
receivable,  availability  of bank borrowings,  the  Dividend
Reinvestment  and  Stock  Purchase Plan  and  access  to  the
capital markets.
