Note E - SALE OF KANSAS ASSETS

On August 20, 1999, Miller entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement
with Andrew Corporation (the "Buyer") to sell certain assets used in
the business operations of its Kansas facility.  The Asset Purchase
Agreement also provides for the assignment of Miller's lease of its
Kansas facility.  The purchase price consisted of $3.5 million from
the Buyer plus the Buyer's assumption of certain liabilities of the
Kansas operation.  The $3.5 million consisted of a $1.0 million base
purchase price, which was paid at closing on August 20, 1999, and a
contingent purchase price of $2.5 million which was paid by the Buyer
to Miller with the assignment and transfer of a lease agreement for
the Kansas facility on November 9, 1999.  Miller reported a pre-tax
gain on the sale of certain Kansas assets of $208,329 in the quarter
ended October 2, 1999.  Miller expects to report an additional gain
of approximately $1.3 million during the quarter ending January 1,
2000, based on the assignment and transfer of the lease agreement.




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

     This Report contains certain statements that are "forward-looking
statements" 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
ability to achieve forecasted production levels through the second half of
fiscal 2000, 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, its suppliers and its customers to
be year 2000 compliant.  Readers are cautioned that reliance on any
forward-looking statement involves risks and uncertainties.  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 - October 2, 1999 compared to July 3, 1999

     At October 2, 1999, Miller's working capital was $11,637,002
compared to $10,472,268 at July 3, 1999.  The working capital ratio
was 2.6 to 1 at October 2, 1999 and 2.3 to 1 at July 3, 1999.

     Miller has an unsecured bank credit agreement which provides for
advances up to $7,000,000 through November 30, 1999 and Miller
expects this credit facility will be renewed through November 30,
2000.  There was $200,000 of outstanding borrowings under this credit
agreement at October 2, 1999 compared to $2,000,000 at July 3, 1999.

     Miller believes operating cash flows and the bank credit
agreement are sufficient to meet its operating needs.

Results of Operations - Three months ended October 2, 1999 compared
to the three months ended September 26, 1998

     Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 declined slightly
(less than 2%) from the corresponding quarter in fiscal 1999.  Net
sales for the Structures product line, ("Structures") decreased 6.0%
from the first quarter last year.  This decrease was primarily the
result of lower sales at the Kansas operation which was sold on
August 20, 1999.  Net sales for the Telecom product line, ("Telecom")
decreased slightly (less than 1%) from the first quarter last year.
This decrease was also the result of lower sales at the Kansas
operation, partially offset by increased sales at the United and
Pennsylvania Telecom operations.  The Structures business remains
strong as their backlog is 71% higher than last year at this time.
The order rate for the Telecom business has also increased.  The
Telecom backlog is 61% higher than last year, excluding last year's
backlog at the Kansas plant.  The current backlogs will provide a
solid production base well into Miller's third fiscal quarter.  We
believe United and the Leola, Pennsylvania Telecom facility will also
continue to be strong contributors to Miller's overall profitability
during the remainder of fiscal 2000.

     During the three-month period ended October 2, 1999, cost of
products sold was 80.9% of net sales compared to 82.2% for the
comparable period of fiscal 1999.  This decrease is primarily the
result of a higher mix of Telecom product, which carry a higher gross
profit than Structures products, when compared to the same quarter
last year.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three-month
period ended October 2, 1999, increased 5.1% when compared to the
similar period of fiscal 1999.  The higher selling, general and
administrative expenses were generally the result of higher incentive
compensation, travel expenses and consulting fees.  As a percentage
of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses for the
three-month period ended October 2, 1999, were 11.3%, compared to
10.5% in the comparable three-month period in fiscal 1999.

     Interest expense decreased $42,773 to $115,317 during the
current three-month period compared to the similar period of the
prior year.  The decrease was attributable to lower levels of
outstanding debt during the period.

     The provision for income taxes was 38.0% of income before income
taxes for the three months ended October 2, 1999 and 38.7% for the
comparable three-month period of fiscal 1999.

Year 2000 Compliance

     Miller is finalizing the process of identifying, evaluating, and
implementing changes to computer programs 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 computer hardware
and software programs are Year 2000 compliant.  Costs related to the
Year 2000 issue are being expensed as incurred.  Costs incurred to
date have been less than $50,000 and management does not believe any
material additional costs will be incurred.

     Management has completed a program to prepare Miller's
manufacturing and facility systems for the Year 2000.  Miller has
tested and fixed applications such as security, environmental,
desktop computers and production equipment to ensure they are Year
2000 ready.  Miller currently does not expect any significant
interruption to its operations because of Year 2000 problems.
Miller's products do not have Year 2000 readiness issues because they
do not contain date-sensitive functions.

     Miller is finalizing the process of contacting all third parties
with which it has significant relationships, to determine the extent
to which Miller could be vulnerable to failure by any of them to
obtain Year 2000 compliance.  Some of Miller's major suppliers,
customers and financial institutions have confirmed that they
anticipate being Year 2000 compliant on or before December 31, 1999,
although many have only indicated that they have Year 2000 readiness
programs.  To date, Miller is not aware of any significant third
parties with a Year 2000 issue that could materially impact Miller's
operations, liquidity or capital resources.  However, Miller has no
means of ensuring that third parties will be Year 2000 ready and the
potential effect of third-party non-compliance is currently not
determinable.

     Miller will continue to devote the resources necessary to ensure
that all Year 2000 issues are properly addressed.  However, there can
be no assurance that all Year 2000 problems are detected.  Further,
there can be no assurance that Miller's assessment of its third party
vendors and suppliers will be accurate.  Some of the potential
worst-case scenarios that could occur include: (1) corruption of data in
Miller's internal systems; (2) failure of infrastructure services
provided by government agencies; and (3) health, environmental and
safety issues relating to Miller's facilities.  If any of these
situations were to occur, Miller's operations in certain areas could
be temporarily interrupted.  Miller is finalizing its Year 2000
contingency plans for continuing operations where they believe
potential problems  may arise.  These plans would include increasing
inventory levels for critical raw materials where we believe
suppliers may not be Year 2000 compliant or shift the production if
a critical material shortage occurs.  Miller has operations around
the country and is prepared to shift production to different
facilities if there are significant interruptions to operations in a
particular region.
