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 former tenant receives 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.









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

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

     At December 28, 1996, Miller's working capital was $5,931,000
compared to $5,942,053 at June 29, 1996.  The working capital ratio
at December 28, 1996 was 2.3 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.  There were no
amounts outstanding under this agreement at December 28, 1996 and
$1,500,000 was outstanding 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 December 28, 1996 compared
to the three months ended December 30, 1995

     Net sales increased $2,337,136 during the second quarter of
fiscal 1997 or approximately 30.5% 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 21.9% from the second quarter last year.  All of the
Structures plants, except the South Dakota plant, participated in
significant sales increases.  Structures current order backlog of
business is more than triple last year's backlog.  Net sales at
Miller Telecom Services, Inc ("Telecom") increased 57.8% from the
second quarter last year.  Telecom continues to increase its market
share in the telecommunication shelter business.  Management believes
the growth at Telecom will continue during the current fiscal year.
       
     During the three-month period ended December 28, 1996, cost of
products sold was 80.4% of net sales compared to 83.4% for the
comparable period of fiscal 1996.  The 3% decline in gross profit 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 December 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 December 28, 1996, increased 21.4% when compared to the
similar period of fiscal 1996.  The higher selling, general and
administrative expenses were the result of higher salary and
incentive compensation expenses, advertising expenses, legal fees and
an increase in the provision for doubtful receivables.  As a
percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses
for the three-month period ended September 29, 1996, were 14.8%,
compared to 15.9% in the comparable three-month period in fiscal
1996.  

     Interest expense increased $1,768 to $27,007 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 38.6% of income before income
taxes for the three months ended December 28, 1996 compared to 36.7%
in the comparable three-month period of fiscal 1996.


Results of Operations - Six months ended December 28, 1996 compared
to the six months ended December 30, 1995

     Net sales increased $5,301,377 during the six-month period ended
December 28, 1996 or 29.9% from the corresponding period in fiscal
1996.  Both Structures and Telecom contributed to the net sales
increase.  Net sales at Structures increased 26.1% and Telecom 
increased 41.7% from the six-month period last year.  
       
     During the six-month period ended December 28, 1996, cost of
products sold was 81.4% of net sales compared to 82.3% 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 six-month
period.  

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six-month
period ended December 28, 1996, increased 12.2% when compared to the
similar period of fiscal 1996.  The higher selling, general and
administrative expenses was the result of higher salary and incentive
compensation expenses, advertising expense, legal fees and an
increase in the allowance for doubtful receivables.  As a percentage
of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses for the
six-month period ended December 28, 1996, were 12.9%, compared to
14.9% in the comparable six-month period in fiscal 1996.  

     Interest expense increased $14,681 to $77,624 during the current 
six-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 38.2% of income before income
taxes for the six-months ended December 28, 1996 compared to 38.0% in
the comparable six-month period of fiscal 1996.
