in the comparable nine month period of fiscal 1995.  During the first
quarter of fiscal 1995, Miller reversed $32,000 of previously accrued
federal and state income taxes as a result of a settlement of an audit
by the Internal Revenue Service.


Note D - NONRECURRING ITEMS

Fiscal 1996

During the third quarter of fiscal 1996, Miller recorded a pre-tax charge of
$256,792, related to costs associated with the terminated acquisition of
Whitley Manufacturing Company, Inc. and a pre-tax charge of $78,028 for
warranty and other costs at the closed PME and Residential operations.

Fiscal 1995

During the third quarter of fiscal 1995, Miller recorded a pre-tax charge of
$265,515, which resulted from the final resolution of disputed warranty issues
with a customer.  Also, in the third quarter of fiscal 1995, Miller recorded
a pre-tax charge of $200,000 for exit costs associated with the closing of the
Residential operation.

During the first quarter of fiscal 1995, Miller reversed certain
restructuring accruals recorded during the third fiscal quarter of
1993.  These reversals included $25,000 for the early release from the
Fontana property lease agreement, $23,000 for lower than expected
legal costs to settle disputes on the Denver International Airport
project at the closed PME Pacific Systems, Inc. ("PME") operations and
$18,000 for lower interest expense on the final settlement with the
Internal Revenue Service.



































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

Financial Condition - March 30, 1996 compared to July 1, 1995

At March 30, 1996, Miller's working capital was $5,531,629 compared to
$5,254,456 at July 1, 1995.  The working capital ratio was 2.4 to 1 at
March 30, 1996 and 2.0 to 1 at July 1, 1995.

Miller has an unsecured bank credit agreement that provides for
advances up to $5,000,000 through November 30, 1996.  There was
$715,000 outstanding under this agreement at March 30, 1996 compared
to $1,550,000 at July 1, 1995.  

Miller believes operating cash flows and the bank credit agreement are
sufficient to meet operating needs.

Results of Operations - Three months ended March 30, 1996 compared to
the three months ended April 1, 1995

Net sales decreased $1,055,688 during the third quarter of fiscal 1996
or approximately 11.4% from the corresponding quarter in fiscal 1995.
(55% of this decrease is attributable to closed Residential division
("Residential")  Miller Structures, Inc. ("Structures") recorded a
21.2% or $1,457,699 decrease.  During the first half of fiscal 1996
Structures experienced a significant decrease in order activity which
depleted backlogs going into the third quarter.  While the order rates
increased during the third quarter, project delays and poor weather in
the East hindered production and sales. Management does not believe
this decrease in net sales at Structures represents a trend, as order
activity and backlogs continue to increase.  Miller Telecom Services,
Inc. ("Telecom") attained a 55.7% sales increase as this subsidiary
continues to increase its market share.  Management believes Telecom
will continue to increase its market share and is positioned to post
strong sales increases during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996. 
Residential, which was closed in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 had
net sales of $583,596 in the third quarter of fiscal 1995.

During the three-month period ended March 30, 1996, cost of sales was
83.6% of net sales compared to 87.7% for the comparable period of
fiscal 1995.  Generally, changes in gross profit are a result of
varying factors, none of which can be specifically quantified, as
product profitability varies in the different geographic regions
served by Miller and because of varying product mix.  The decrease in
the cost of sales percentage for the quarter ended March 30, 1996 is
not necessarily indicative of the trend in cost of sales anticipated
in future periods.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three-month
period ended March 30, 1996, increased $41,568 compared to the similar
period of fiscal 1995. 

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the
quarter was primarily the result of higher administrative costs to
support the growth at Telecom, partially offset by reduced
administrative expenses related to the closed Residential division and
overall lower administrative expenses at Structures.  During the
quarter, approximately $29,000 in major program costs for marketing,
plant efficiency programs, and research and development were expensed.

As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative
expenses for the three-month period ended March 30, 1996 were 15.6%,
on lower sales volume,  compared to 13.3% in the comparable three-
month period in fiscal 1995.

During the third quarter of fiscal 1996, Miller recorded a pre-tax
charge of $256,792, related to costs associated with the terminated
acquisition of Whitley Manufacturing Company, Inc. and a pre-tax
charge of $78,028 for warranty and other costs at the closed PME and
Residential operations.

During the third quarter of fiscal 1995, Miller recorded a pre-tax
charge of $265,515, which resulted from the final resolution of
disputed warranty issues with a customer.  Also, in the third quarter
of fiscal 1995, Miller recorded a pre-tax charge of $200,000 for exit
costs associated with the closing of the Residential operation.

During the first quarter of fiscal 1995, Miller reversed certain
restructuring accruals recorded during the third fiscal quarter of
1993.  These reversals included $25,000 for the early release from the
Fontana property lease agreement, $23,000 for lower than expected
legal costs to settle disputes on the Denver International Airport
project at the closed PME Pacific Systems, Inc. ("PME") operations and
$18,000 for lower interest expense on the final settlement with the
Internal Revenue Service.

Interest expense decreased $15,557 to $22,773 during the current
three-month period compared to the similar period in the prior year. 
The decrease during the quarter was a result of lower interest rates
and lower average levels of debt outstanding on the line of credit.

The credit for income taxes was 38.1% of the loss before income taxes
for the three months ended March 30, 1996 compared to a 38.0% credit
in the comparable three-month period of fiscal 1995.  

Results of Operations - Nine months ended March 30, 1996
compared to nine months ended April 1, 1995

Net sales decreased $4,242,865 for the nine-month period ended March
30, 1996 or 14.1% compared to the similar period of fiscal 1995. 
During the first nine months of fiscal 1995, net sales at Residential,
which was closed in the third quarter of fiscal 1995, were $2,523,882. 
Net sales at Structures decreased 20.3% from the nine-month period
last year.  The sales decline was the result of slow business activity
in the commercial modular building industry.  Net sales at Telecom
increased 77.7% over the same period last year.  Telecom continues to
increase its market share and improve its position in the rapidly
expanding telecommunication markets.  

During the nine-month period ended March 30, 1996, cost of sales was
82.7% of net sales compared to 86.1% for the comparable period of
fiscal 1995.  Generally, changes in gross profit are a result of
varying factors, none of which can be specifically quantified, as
product profitability varies in the different geographic regions
served by Miller and also as a result of varying product mix.  

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine-month period
ended March 30, 1996, increased $243,990 compared to the similar
period of fiscal 1995.  Lower selling, general and administrative
expenses at the closed Residential division was offset by increased
administrative costs related to the growth at Telecom and increased
staffing in the Structures' sales, costing and engineering
departments.  In addition, approximately $137,000 in major program
costs for marketing, research and development, and plant efficiency
programs were expensed during the current nine-month period.  

As a percentage of net sales, selling general and administrative
expenses for the nine-month period ended March 30, 1996 were 15.1%, on
lower sales volume, compared to 12.2% in the comparable nine-month
period in fiscal 1995.

Nonrecurring charges of $334,820 for the nine months ended March 30, 1996,
consist of a $256,792 charge for costs associated with the terminated
acquisition of Whitley Manufacturing Company, and $78,028 for warranty and
other costs at the closed PME and Residential operations.

Nonrecurring charges of $399,515 for the nine months ended April 1, 1995,
consist of a $265,515 charge for the settlement of warranty issues with a
customer, a $200,000 charge for the exit costs associated with the shutdown
of the Residential operation and $66,000 of gains associated with the reversal
of restructuring accruals related to the early release from the Fontana
property lease agreement, lower than expected legal costs to settle disputes
on the Denver International Airport project and lower interest expense on a
setlement with the Internal Revenue Service.

Interest expense increased $996 to $85,716 during the current nine-
month period compared to the similar period of the prior year.  The
increase was attributable to interest paid on the Industrial Revenue
Bonds which funded the Telecom plant expansion, partially offset by
lower levels of outstanding debt on the line of credit.

The provision for income taxes was 37.9% of income before income taxes
for the nine-month period ended March 30, 1996 compared to a credit of
43.6% in the comparable nine-month period of fiscal 1995.  During the
first quarter of fiscal 1995, Miller reversed $32,000 of previously
accrued federal and state income taxes as a result of a settlement of
the audit by the Internal Revenue Service.
