would  substantially duplicate   the   disclosures  contained

Corporation (the Company) for the year ended March  31,  1998
have  been  omitted.

totaling $948,369 were made for the six months ended
September 30, 1998.  Loans are primarily at 10%-15% for

                     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, 1998 amounted to $470,200 as compared to
$259,738 for the six months ended September 30, 1997.  This
increase in net cash used by operating activities is
primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable and accrued
expenses and to an increase in manufactured home inventory of
The Mobile Home Store, Inc. (MHS), the Company's wholly-owned
subsidiary.  Inventory increased by $345,882 for the six
months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to an increase of
$293,671 for 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 centers  in  Ohio and New
York.

Loans Receivable increased by $770,378 during the six months
ended September 30, 1998.  This was the result of new loans
made of $948,369 offset by $177,991 in collections.

Inventory financing increased by $709,210 during the six
months ended September 30, 1998.  This was a result of the
new $2,500,000 financing agreement which allows the Company
to finance all inventory purchases.  In the past, only
inventory purchased at certain locations was financed.

MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Income is comprised primarily of sales of manufactured homes,
interest income and rental income.  Sales of manufactured
homes amounted to $1,606,318 and $2,897,466 for the three and
six months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to $1,160,936
and $2,035,332 for the three and six months ended September
30, 1997.  MHS has been experiencing increased sales since
its inception in fiscal 1994.

Rental income, including tenant reimbursements,  amounted to
$33,499 and $65,203 for the three and six months ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to $47,362 and $93,872 for the
three and six  months ended September 30, 1997.  Rental
income is attributable to the Company's purchase of a net-
leased industrial building on March 31, 1994.  The decrease
was the result of a decrease in reimburseable expenses.

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

Interest income and other income remained relatively stable
for the three and six months ended September 30, 1998 as
compared to the three and six months ended September 30,
1997.

The increase in Cost of  manufactured homes sales and Selling
expense is directly attributable to the increase in sales of
manufactured homes made by MHS.  The Company is investing in
new sales centers and increasing market share.  Interest
expense increased to $31,780 and $65,782 for the three and
six months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to $20,481
and $42,423 for the three and six months ended September 30,
1997.  The increase in interest expense is due to an increase
in inventory financing.

Salaries and employee benefits increased from $95,579 and
$150,511 for the three and six months ended September 30,
1998 as compared to $60,195 and $117,016 for the three and
six months ended September 30, 1997.  This was due to an
increase in personnel.

Other expenses increased to $179,528 and $338,033 for the
three and six months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to
$148,982 and $275,857 for the three and six months ended
September 30, 1997 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 $2,500,000 line of credit  to finance its
inventory purchases.  As of September 30, 1998, $1,694,443 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.

YEAR 2000

The Company is currently in the process of implementing its
Year 2000 compliance plan.  The Company has assessed all
hardware and software for Year 2000 readiness.

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



The Company has developed and is currently implementing
renovation plans, including hardware replacement and software
upgrades, to ensure all hardware and software is Year 2000
compliant.  The Company has no significant suppliers and
vendors.  Renovation and testing are scheduled to be
completed during the first half of 1999.

The Company has developed contingency plans for each of its
critical systems which includes moving many of the Company's
operations to a manual system.   There can be no assurances
given that the Year 2000 compliance plan will be completed
successfully by the Year 2000, in which event the Company
could incur additional costs to implement its contingency
plans.  Management does not anticipate that such costs would
be significant to the Company.  The  total costs associated
with the Company's Year 2000 plan are anticipated to be
immaterial.

Successful and timely completion of the Year 2000 plan is
based on management's best estimates derived from various
assumptions of future events, which are inherently uncertain,
including the effectiveness of remediation and validation
plans, and all vendors and suppliers readiness.
