        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 July 3, 1999.  The
1998 Miller Building Systems Annual Report on Form 10-K should be
read in conjunction with these statements.

     The June 27, 1998 condensed consolidated balance sheet was
derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.

     The number of shares used in the computation of basic and
diluted earnings per share are as follows:

                                         Three Months Ended

Note D - ACQUISITION OF NEW YORK OPERATION

     Effective January 1, 1998, Miller acquired all of the issued and
outstanding shares of common stock of United Structures, Inc.
("United"), a New York corporation.  United is engaged in the business
of designing, manufacturing and marketing factory-built structures
primarily for the telecommunications industry.  The purchase price
(the "minimum purchase price"), including direct acquisition costs,
consisted of cash of $3.1 million and assumed liabilities of $4.1
million.  In addition to the minimum purchase price, Miller agreed to
pay the seller a contingent purchase price ("contingent purchase
price"), payable in shares of Miller's common stock, based on United's
earnings for the six-month period ended June 27, 1998.  United's
earnings for the six-month period ended June 27, 1998 exceeded the
targeted amount and, accordingly, on September 4, 1998 Miller paid
the maximum additional contingent purchase price of $2,250,000
(227,082 shares of Miller's common stock).  The contingent purchase
price was recorded as additional goodwill.  The acquisition of United
was accounted for using the purchase method and United's operating
results have been included in Miller's consolidated financial
statements since the acquisition date of January 1, 1998.  The
following unaudited pro forma financial information for the quarter
ended September 27, 1997 was developed assuming United had been
acquired at the beginning of the 1998 fiscal year.  The unaudited pro
forma earnings per share (basic and diluted) reflect the issuance of
227,082 additional shares as though these shares were issued and
outstanding during the period.

                                        Three Months Ended       
                                        September 27, 1997

Net sales                                  $ 15,943,000

Net income                                      794,000

     The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily
indicative of what actually would have occurred if the acquisition
had been completed as of the beginning of the 1998 fiscal year, nor
is it indicative of future operating results.


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

     This Report contains certain statements that are "forward-looking" within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Those statements are dependent on
certain risks and uncertainties. Such factors, among others, are the mix between
products with varying profit margins, the belief that previous growth rates in
the telecommunication shelter market will continue, the awarding of contracts,
the expected profitability of the new Pennsylvania operation, the strength of
the economy in the various sections of the country served by the Company, the
impact of our competitors on the profitability of our products, the future
availability of raw materials, the anticipated adequacy of the Company's
operating cash flows and credit facilities to finance operations, capital
expenditures and other needs of its business and the ability of the Company and
its customers and vendors to become year 2000 compliant.  Readers are cautioned
that reliance on any forward-looking statements contained herein are based on
reasonable assumptions, any of which could prove to be inaccurate given the 
inherent uncertainties as to the occurrence or nonoccurrence of future events.  
There can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained in this 
Report will prove to be accurate.  The inclusion of a forward-looking statement 
herein should not be regarded as a representation by the Company that the 
Company's objectives will be achieved.

Financial Condition - September 26, 1998 compared to June 27, 1998

     At September 26, 1998, Miller's working capital was $9,311,330
compared to $8,610,205 at June 27, 1998.  The working capital ratio
was 1.9 to 1 at September 26, 1998 and at June 27, 1998.

     Miller has an unsecured bank credit agreement which provides for
advances up to $5,000,000 through November 30, 1998, and Miller
expects this credit facility will be renewed through November 30,
1999.  Outstanding borrowings under this credit agreement were
$2,775,000 at September 26, 1998 compared to $3,550,000 at June 27,
1998. 
     
     Miller believes operating cash flows and the bank credit
agreement are sufficient to meet operating needs.

Results of Operations - Three months ended September 26, 1998
compared to the three months ended September 27, 1997

     As discussed in Note D of Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements, effective January 1, 1998, Miller acquired
United Structures, Inc. ("United") which was accounted for as a
purchase transaction.  Miller's operating results for the current
quarter include the operating results of United.  Pro forma financial
information for last year's first quarter is included in Note D.  

     Net sales increased $3,900,699 during the first quarter of
fiscal 1999 or approximately 29.3% from the corresponding quarter in
fiscal 1998.  Net sales for the Structures product line,
("Structures") decreased 9.2% from the first quarter last year.  The
net sales decrease at Structures was primarily the result of
increased product complexity and difficulty in hiring qualified
personnel at the Indiana plant, the decision to build only Telecom
units at the Kansas plant and softness in the markets served by the
Vermont and South Dakota plants.  Net sales for the Telecom product
line, ("Telecom") increased 113.6% from the first quarter last year. 
This increase was the result of sales at the newly acquired United
operation and Telecom sales at the recently opened Pennsylvania
plant.  Although we see a softness in the Structures business,
several large contracts, in excess of $3,000,000, have been bid
and if awarded could reverse this trend.  The Telecom business has
rebounded and their backlogs, excluding United, have more than
tripled last year.  The increase in Telecom orders and the
continuation of the previously announced Michigan State Police
project should create strong Telecom sales during the remainder of
our fiscal year.  We believe United will continue to be a profitable
addition to Miller.  The newly completed Leola, Pennsylvania facility
is expected to begin contributing to Miller's overall profitability
in the second fiscal quarter.          
       
     During the three-month period ended September 26, 1998, cost of
products sold was 82.2% of net sales compared to 80.3% for the
comparable period of fiscal 1998.  This increase is primarily the
result of costs related to the start-up operation at the Pennsylvania
plant.  The increase in the cost of products sold percentage for the
quarter ended September 26, 1998 is not necessarily indicative of the
trend in cost of sales anticipated in future periods.

     Selling, general and administrative expense for the three-month
period ended September 26, 1998, increased 15.6% when compared to the
similar period of fiscal 1998.  The higher selling, general and
administrative expense was generally the result of the additional
administrative costs at the United and Pennsylvania operations and
higher overall staffing levels.  As a percentage of net sales,
selling, general and administrative expenses for the three-month
period ended September 26, 1998, were 10.5%, compared to 11.8% in the
comparable three-month period in fiscal 1998.  

     Interest expense increased $110,998 to $158,090 during the
current three-month period compared to the similar period of the
prior year.  The increase was attributable to higher levels of
outstanding debt, which was principally the result of the
construction of the new Pennsylvania facility and the acquisition of
United. 

     The provision for income taxes was 38.7% of income before income
taxes for the three months ended September 26, 1998 and 38.0% for the
comparable three-month period of fiscal 1998.

Accounting and Regulatory Developments

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("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
disclosures, if any, will be required by SFAS No. 131.

Year 2000 Compliance

     Miller is continuing the process of identifying, evaluating, and
implementing changes necessary to address the year 2000 issue.  This
issue affects computer systems that have date-sensitive programs that
may not properly recognize the year 2000.  Systems that do not
properly recognize such information could generate erroneous data or
cause a system to fail, resulting in business interruption.  Miller
believes its current systems are year 2000 compliant and, therefore, 
does not believe the cost of converting any internal systems to be
year 2000 compliant will be material to its consolidated financial
condition or results or operations.  Costs related to the year 2000
issue have been expensed as incurred.  The year 2000 issue is
expected to affect the systems of various entities with which Miller
interacts, including customers and vendors.  There can be no
assurance that the systems of other companies on which Miller's
systems rely will be timely converted, or that a failure by another
company's systems to be year 2000 compliant would not have a material
adverse effect on Miller.  Based on information currently available,
management believes its systems will be year 2000 compliant.
