to 37.9% in the comparable nine-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 then current tenant of the property, whereby
Miller agreed to pay the tenant $750,000, in three installments
($400,000 on August 12, 1996; $275,000 on October 24, 1996; and
$75,000 five days after the former tenant received a signed
acceptance and release agreement from Coffey County).  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 consisted of
a cash purchase price of $1,516,390.  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.

Note F - NONRECURRING ITEMS

     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, and a pre-
tax charge of $78,028 for warranty and other costs at the closed PME
and Residential operations.

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

Financial Condition - March 29, 1997 compared to June 29, 1996

     At March 29, 1997, Miller's working capital was $6,059,031
compared to $5,942,053 at June 29, 1996.  The working capital ratio
at March 29, 1997 was 2.1 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, 1997.  Outstanding
borrowings under this credit agreement were $200,000 at March 29,
1997 compared to $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 the Notes to
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) were 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 March 29, 1997 compared to
the three months ended March 30, 1996

     Net sales increased $2,065,004 during the third quarter of
fiscal 1997 or approximately 25.3% 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, particularly in the Northeast.  Net sales at Miller
Structures, Inc. ("Structures") increased 23.0% from the third
quarter last year.  The increase in net sales was achieved despite
the decline in sales related to the California operation which was
sold during the current year's first fiscal quarter.  Structures'
current order backlog of business remains more than double last
year's backlog.  The new Kansas plant, which began production during
the quarter, also contributed to the increased sales volume.  Net
sales at Miller Telecom Services, Inc. ("Telecom") increased 4.1%
over the third quarter last year.  Telecom's Elkhart plant is now
producing close to capacity.  The addition of the Kansas plant will
provide the capacity to sustain the greater growth rates anticipated
in the telecommunications industry.  
       
     During the three-month period ended March 29, 1997, cost of
products sold was 82.5% of net sales compared to 83.6% for the
comparable period of fiscal 1996.  The increase in gross profit and
the gross profit percentage for the quarter can be attributed to a
shift in mix at Structures to the more profitable custom units, a
larger percentage of unit sales at Telecom which carry a higher
profit margin, and a strong business environment and order backlog
which reduced the need to discount units during the slow winter
months.  The decrease in the cost of products sold percentage for the
quarter ended March 29, 1997 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 29, 1997, increased 18.5% when compared to the
similar period of fiscal 1996.  The higher selling, general and
administrative expenses were the result of additional headcount and
performance based compensation and start-up expenses at the Kansas
plant.  As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and
administrative expenses for the three-month period ended March 29,
1997, were 14.7%, compared to 15.6% in the comparable three-month
period in fiscal 1996.  

     Interest expense increased $10,550 to $33,323 during the current
three-month period compared to the similar period of the prior year. 
The increase was attributable to higher levels of debt outstanding. 

     The provision for income taxes was 37.8% of income before income
taxes for the three months ended March 30, 1997 compared to a 38.1%
credit for income taxes in the comparable three-month period of
fiscal 1996.


Results of Operations - Nine months ended March 29, 1997 compared to
the nine months ended March 29, 1996

     Net sales increased $7,366,380 during the nine-month period
ended March 29, 1997 or 28.4% from the corresponding period in fiscal
1996.  Structures, Telecom and the new Kansas operation all
contributed to the net sales increase.  Net sales at Structures
increased 25.3% and Telecom increased 26.9% from the nine-month
period last year.  
       
     During the nine-month period ended March 29, 1997, cost of
products sold was 81.8% of net sales compared to 82.7% for the
comparable period of fiscal 1996.  The shift in mix to more
profitable custom units at Structures, the larger percentage of unit
sales at Telecom which carry a higher profit margin and the lack of
unit discounting during the second quarter contributed to the
reduction in the cost of products sold percentage for the comparable
nine-month period.  

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine-month
period ended March 29, 1997, increased 14.3% when compared to the
similar period of fiscal 1996.  The higher selling, general and
administrative expenses was the result of additional headcount and
performance based compensation; start-up expenses at the Kansas
plant; increased advertising expense; disposition related legal fees
and an increase in the allowance for doubtful receivables.  As a
percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses
for the nine-month period ended March 29, 1997, were 13.4%, compared
to 15.1% in the comparable nine-month period in fiscal 1996.  

     Interest expense increased $25,231 to $110,947 during the
current nine-month period compared to the similar period of the prior
year.  The increase was attributable to higher levels of debt
outstanding. 

     The provision for income taxes was 38.1% of income before income
taxes for the nine-months ended March 29, 1997 compared to 37.9% in
the comparable nine-month period of fiscal 1996.

     In February 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" was issued by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board.  The Company is required to initially
adopt this pronouncement during its fiscal 1998 second quarter ending
December 26, 1998.  SFAS No. 128 will require the Company to make a
dual presentation of basic and fully diluted earnings per share on
the face of the income statement.  The Company does not presently
anticipate that SFAS No. 128 will have a significant impact on the
Company's historically reported earnings per share.

          The October 21, 1996 Form 8-K was amended to report that
          the Registrant, after further review of the preliminary
          financial information and the assumptions relating to the

          disposition of a significant amount of assets pursuant to
          Instruction 4 of Item 2 for Form 8-K and should be reported
          under "Item 5. Other Events."  Also, the Form 8-K/A was
          filed to report that no proforma financial information was
          required to be filed under Item 7 for Form 8-K.
