         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 27, 1998.  The
1997 Miller Building Systems Annual Report on Form 10-K should be
read in conjunction with these statements.

     The June 28, 1997 condensed consolidated balance sheet was
derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.


Note B - INVENTORIES

     Inventories consist of the following:

                              September 27, 1997    June 28, 1997

Raw materials                     $ 3,254,789        $ 3,133,958
Work in process                       362,993            578,706
                                                                
                                  $ 3,617,782        $ 3,712,664
                                                                



Note C - SALE OF CALIFORNIA OPERATION

     On October 21, 1996, Miller sold all of the issued and
outstanding stock of its wholly owned California subsidiary, to
MODTECH, Inc. ("Buyer").  The California subsidiary manufactured
modular and mobile buildings in Patterson, California.

     The consideration paid by the Buyer to Miller consisted of a
cash purchase price of $1,516,390.  Miller and the Buyer also entered
into a three-year lease obligation for certain real property (the
"Patterson Property") which lease agreement requires the Buyer, as
lessee, to pay Miller rental payments of $4,500 per month.  Upon the
issuance of an acceptable expanded environmental report on the
Patterson Property, Miller and Buyer will mutually agree to cancel
the lease agreement, and Buyer will acquire the Patterson Property
from Miller for a cash purchase price of $450,000.  Miller expects to
sell the Patterson Property during fiscal year 1998 and, accordingly,
the carrying value of the Patterson Property of $402,564 is reflected
as a current asset (Property held for sale) at September 27, 1997.

     In connection with this sale transaction, Miller entered into a
non-competition agreement with the Buyer which provides that Miller
will not, at any time within a five-year period following closing,
engage in any business that manufactures and markets the products
which were previously manufactured by Miller's former California
subsidiary in the states of California, Nevada and Arizona. 
     

Note D - Accounting and Regulatory Developments

     In February 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share" was issued by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB").  Miller is required to adopt
this pronouncement during its fiscal 1998 second quarter ending
December 27, 1997.  SFAS No. 128 will require Miller to make a dual
presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of
the income statement.  Miller does not anticipate that SFAS No. 128
will have a significant impact on Miller's historically reported
earnings per share.

     In June 1997, FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", which Miller will
be required to adopt in its fiscal 1999 year-end financial
statements.  SFAS No. 131 specifies revised guidelines for
determining operating segments and the type and level of information
to be disclosed.  Miller has not yet determined what changes in its

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

     Some matters set forth herein are forward looking statements
that are dependent on certain risks and uncertainties.  Such factors,
among others, are the mix between fleet and custom products, the
strength of the economy in the various sections of the country served
by Miller and the bidding and quoting process, where our competitors
can impact the profitability of our products.  At times, Miller's
actual performance differs materially from its projections and
estimates regarding the economy, the modular building and
telecommunications shelter industries and other key performance
indicators.  Miller's actual results could vary significantly from
the performance projected in the forward looking statements.

Financial Condition - September 27, 1997 compared to June 28, 1997

     At September 27, 1997, Miller's working capital was $7,786,228
compared to $6,987,990 at June 28, 1997.  The working capital ratio
was 2.1 to 1 at September 27, 1997 and June 28, 1997, respectively.

     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 $2,300,000 at September
27, 1997 compared to $1,870,000 at June 28, 1997.  Miller expects
this credit agreement to be renewed as of November 30, 1997.
     
     Miller believes operating cash flows and the bank credit
agreement are sufficient to meet operating needs.

Results of Operations - Three months ended September 27, 1997
compared to the three months ended September 28, 1996

     Net sales increased $279,011 during the first quarter of fiscal
1998 or approximately 2.1% from the corresponding quarter in fiscal
1997.  Net sales for the Structures product line, ("Structures")
decreased 5.6% from the first quarter last year.  The net sales
decline at Structures was primarily the result of $1.6 million in
lost revenue related to the Patterson, California operation which was
sold during the first quarter of fiscal 1997.  This was partially
offset by $.9 million in Structures sales at the new Burlington,
Kansas facility.  Net sales for the Telecom product line, ("Telecom")
increased 25.7% over the first quarter last year.  This increase was
the result of sales at the new Kansas facility.  The Structures'
business is steady as our backlogs remain at last years levels.  The
Telecom business has been soft for the past four to five months as
the Telecommunications industry slowed their shelter orders. The
industry has concentrated on generating revenue by placing existing
infrastructure in service.  We believe that this trend will reverse
in early 1998.  The anticipated increase in Telecom orders and the
continuation of the previously announced Michigan State Police
project should create strong Telecom sales during the second half of
our fiscal year.  Miller recently announced a 48,000 square foot
expansion of our Leola, Pennsylvania facility to meet the increased
demand in our Eastern Region.          
       
     During the three-month period ended September 27, 1997, cost of
products sold was 80.3% of net sales compared to 82.2% for the
comparable period of fiscal 1997.  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, and
a larger percentage of unit sales at Telecom which carry a higher
profit margin.  The decrease in the cost of products sold percentage
for the quarter ended September 27, 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 September 27, 1997, increased 5.8% when compared to the
similar period of fiscal 1997.  The higher selling, general and
administrative expenses was generally the result of inflationary and
cost of living increases.  As a percentage of net sales, selling,
general and administrative expenses for the three-month period ended
September 27, 1997, were 11.8%, compared to 11.4% in the comparable
three-month period in fiscal 1997.  

     Interest expense decreased $3,526 to $47,092 during the current
three-month period compared to the similar period of the prior year. 
The decrease was attributable to lower levels of debt outstanding,
partially offset by higher interest rates. 

     The provision for income taxes was 38.0% of income before income
taxes for the three months ended September 27, 1997 and the
comparable three-month period of fiscal 1997.
