         NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND OPINION OF MANAGEMENT

     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Miller Building Systems, Inc. and its
subsidiaries (individually and collectively referred to herein as
"Miller").  The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to
Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and
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 (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to
reflect a fair statement of the interim periods presented.  Operating
results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending June 28, 1997.

     The June 29, 1996 condensed consolidated balance sheet was
derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.

     Inventories consist of the following:

                              September 28, 1996    June 29, 1995

                                  $ 3,834,235        $ 3,541,000
                                                                

Note C - INCOME TAXES

     The provision for income taxes includes estimated federal
and state income taxes computed using statutory rates in effect with
recognition given to various income tax versus financial reporting
differences.  The provision for income taxes was 38.0% of income
before income taxes for the three-months ended September 28, 1996
compared to 38.1% in the comparable three month period of fiscal
1996.  


Note D - ACQUISITION OF KANSAS FACILITY

     On August 12, 1996, Miller entered into a ten-year lease
agreement with the Board of County Commissioners of Coffey County,
Kansas to lease a 155,000 square foot manufacturing facility.  The
lease agreement provides for payments of $2,500 per month with an
option to purchase the building at the end of the lease for a balloon
payment of $250,000.  The balloon payment can be reduced if certain
full-time employee levels are attained during the term of the lease. 
In connection with the lease agreement, Miller also entered into an
agreement with the current tenant of the property, whereby Miller
agreed to pay the tenant $750,000, in three installments ($400,000 on
August 12, 1996; $300,000 on October 24, 1996; and $50,000 five days
after the tenant vacates the premises).  Miller has accounted for
this transaction as a capital lease whereby Miller recorded the
leased property under the capital lease and the related obligations
on its balance sheet.   

Note E - SALE OF CALIFORNIA OPERATION

     On October 21, 1996, Miller Structures, Inc.("Seller"), an
Indiana corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Miller, sold all
of its issued and outstanding stock of its wholly owned subsidiary,
Miller Structures, Inc.,("Company") a California corporation, to
MODTECH, Inc.("Buyer").  The sale was made pursuant to an Agreement
for Purchase and Sale of all of the outstanding Capital Stock of
Miller Structures, Inc., a Non-Competition Agreement and the
Supplemental Closing Agreement.

     The consideration paid by the Buyer to the Seller consists of a
cash purchase price of $1,606,022 less $82,000 pending the resolution
of a dispute over the valuation of inventories.  Seller and Buyer
also entered into a three-year lease obligation for certain real
property ("Property") which lease agreement requires the Buyer, as
lessee, to pay Seller rental payments of $4,500 per month.  The lease
obligation is subject to cancellation if an expanded environmental
report on the Property is performed and is satisfactory to Buyer. 
Upon the issuance of an acceptable expanded environmental report,
Seller and Buyer will mutually agree to cancel the lease agreement,
and Buyer will acquire the Property from Seller for a cash purchase
price of $450,000.  The Non-Competition Agreement provides that the
Seller will not, at any time within a five-year period following
closing, engage in any business that manufactures and markets the
products currently manufactured by the Company in the states of
California, Nevada and Arizona.





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

Financial Condition - September 28, 1996 compared to June 29, 1996

     At September 28, 1996, Miller's working capital was $5,689,034
compared to $5,942,053 at June 29, 1996.  The working capital ratio
at September 28, 1996 was 1.9 to 1 compared to 2.2 to 1 at June 29,
1996.

     Miller has an unsecured bank credit agreement which provides for
advances up to $5,000,000 through November 30, 1996.  There was
$1,000,000 outstanding under this agreement at September 28, 1996 and
$1,500,000 at June 29, 1996.
     
     Miller believes operating cash flows and the bank credit
agreement are sufficient to meet operating needs.  The proceeds from
the sale of the California operation (see Note E of Notes to
condensed consolidated financial statements) will be used to fund the
acquisition of the Kansas facility (see Note D of the Notes to the
condensed consolidated financial statements).  

Results of Operations - Three months ended September 28, 1996
compared to the three months ended September 30, 1995

     Net sales increased $2,964,240 during the first quarter of
fiscal 1997 or approximately 29.4% from the corresponding quarter in
fiscal 1996.  The increase in sales volume for the quarter was the
result of strong business conditions at all of Millers' operating
locations.  Net sales at Miller Structures, Inc. ("Structures")
increased 29.9% from the first quarter last year.  All of the
Structures plants participated in significant sales increases. 
Structures current backlog of business is more than double last years
backlog.  Net sales at Miller Telecom Services, Inc ("Telecom")
increased 28.0% from the first quarter last year.  Telecom has
increasingly become a more competitive force in the telecommunication
shelter business.  Management believes the growth at Telecom will
continue during the current fiscal year.
       
     During the three-month period ended September 28, 1996, cost of
products sold was 82.2% of net sales compared to 81.5% for the
comparable period of fiscal 1996.  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.  The increase in the cost of products sold percentage
for the quarter ended September 28, 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 September 28, 1996, increased 4.4% when compared to the
similar period of fiscal 1996.  The higher selling, general and
administrative expenses was the result of higher salary and wage
expenses, partially offset by lower consulting, advertising and
moving expenses.  As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and
administrative expenses for the three-month period ended September
29, 1996, were 11.4%, compared to 14.1% in the comparable three month
period in fiscal 1996.  

     Interest expense increased $12,914 to $50,618 during the current
three month period compared to the similar period of the prior year. 
The increase was attributable to higher interest rates and higher
levels of debt outstanding. 

     Other income (principally interest income) was $29,865 for the
three months ended September 28, 1996 compared to $753 for the three
months ended September 30, 1995.  The current period's interest
income was interest received from the Internal Revenue Service
("IRS") for tax refunds arising from filing amended income tax
returns to reflect IRS audit adjustments (timing differences) on
prior years' tax filings.

     The provision for income taxes was 38.0% of income before income
taxes for the three-months ended September 28, 1996 compared to 38.1%
in the comparable three month period of fiscal 1996.
