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
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 27, 1998 and the
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended September 26,
1998 and December 26, 1998, 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.
Note B - ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable at March 27, 1999 include $993,000 of
receivables due from one customer who defaulted on its payment terms
because the customer was unable to complete the third-party financing
it had arranged. The customer is working with Miller to find a
third-party purchaser for these units. Miller believes the allowance
for doubtful accounts is adequate to cover uncollectible receivables
as of March 27, 1999, including losses, if any, that may result from
this customer's inability to sell the units and pay the outstanding
balance, including carrying charges. The allowance for doubtful
accounts was increased by $42,227 for the financing charges and other
carrying costs recorded in the current quarter. Management does not
believe losses, if any, on the resale of the units would be in excess
of the $140,850 specifically provided for in the allowance for
doubtful accounts.

Note E - 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 ("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 nine-months
ended March 28, 1998 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.

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, the collectibility of certain
accounts receivable, 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 - March 27, 1999 compared to June 27, 1998
At March 27, 1999, Miller's working capital was $10,750,734
compared to $8,610,205 at June 27, 1998. The working capital ratio
was 2.8 to 1 at March 27, 1999 and 1.9 to 1 at June 27, 1998.
Miller has an unsecured bank credit agreement which provides for
advances up to $7,000,000 through November 30, 1999. There were no
outstanding borrowings under this credit agreement at March 27, 1999
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 March 27, 1999 compared to
the three months ended March 28, 1998
As discussed in Note E 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
nine-month period include the operating results of United. Pro forma
financial information for last year's first nine months is included
in Note E.
Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 declined slightly
(less than 1%) from the corresponding quarter in fiscal 1998. Net
sales for the Structures product line, ("Structures") decreased 27.8%
from the third quarter last year. This decrease was primarily the
result of decreased production as a result of winter storms and lower
backlogs at the Indiana plant, along with the decision to build only
Telecom units at the Kansas plant. Net sales for the Telecom product
line, ("Telecom") increased 38.4% from the third quarter last year.
This increase was the result of Telecom sales at the new Pennsylvania
plant and increased Telecom sales at the Kansas plant. The
Structures business has rebounded and their backlogs reached a record
high in April 1999. This backlog has filled our production capacity
for the fourth quarter and well into the first quarter of fiscal
2000. The order rate for the Telecommunications business has
recently slowed. The consolidation within the Telecommunication
industry has caused a delay of orders with several of our customers.
We are also seeing certain companies place a series of smaller orders
versus the large orders placed previously, as the Telecommunication
companies more closely match shelter orders with site acquisitions.
We will shift Structures business to our Telecom plants where
practical; this will maintain efficient production levels at the
Telecom plants until the current lull in Telecom order activity
passes. We believe United and the newly completed Leola,
Pennsylvania facility will continue to be strong contributors to
Miller's overall profitability during the remainder of fiscal 1999.
During the three-month period ended March 27, 1999, cost of
products sold was 82.6% of net sales compared to 83.6% for the
comparable period of fiscal 1998. This decrease is primarily the
result of a higher mix of Telecom product which carry a higher gross
margin. The decrease in the cost of products sold percentage for the
quarter ended March 27, 1999 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 March 27, 1999, decreased 12.3% when compared to the
similar period of fiscal 1998. The lower selling, general and
administrative expense was generally the result of lower incentive
compensation and travel expenses. As a percentage of net sales,
selling, general and administrative expenses for the three-month
period ended March 27, 1999, were 11.1%, compared to 12.6% in the
comparable three-month period in fiscal 1998.
Interest expense increased $23,023 to $137,050 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 during the period.
The provision for income taxes was 35.4% of income before income
taxes for the three months ended March 27, 1999 and 38.4% for the
comparable three-month period of fiscal 1998. The provision for
income taxes was adjusted for anticipated lower state income tax
expense for the fiscal year ending July 3, 1999.
Results of Operations - Nine months ended March 27, 1999 compared to
the nine months ended March 28, 1998
Net sales increased $9,771,815 during the first nine months of
fiscal 1999 or approximately 25.6% from the corresponding period in
fiscal 1998. Net sales for the Structures product line, decreased
14.2% from the first nine months last year. This decrease in
Structures net sales was primarily the result of increased product
complexity, poor weather conditions, low backlogs and difficulty in
hiring qualified personnel at the Indiana plant. In addition, the
decision to build only Telecom units at the Kansas plant and softness
in the markets served by the Vermont and South Dakota plants also
contributed to the decline in Structures net sales. Net sales for
the Telecom product line, increased 102.0% from the first nine months
last year. This increase was primarily the result of sales at the
acquired United operation, Telecom sales at the recently opened
Pennsylvania plant and increased Telecom sales at the Kansas plant.
During the nine-month period ended March 27, 1999, cost of
products sold was 82.5% of net sales compared to 81.8% for the
comparable period of fiscal 1998. This increase is primarily the
result of generally higher overhead costs, costs related to the
start-up operation at the Pennsylvania plant and higher overhead
costs at United. The increase in the cost of products sold
percentage for the nine months ended March 27, 1999 is not
necessarily indicative of the trend in cost of sales anticipated in
future periods.
Selling, general and administrative expense for the nine-month
period ended March 27, 1999, increased 7.6% 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 nine-month
period ended March 27, 1999, were 10.7%, compared to 12.5% in the
comparable nine-month period in fiscal 1998.
Interest expense increased $248,657 to $458,133 during the
current nine-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 38.0% of income before income
taxes for the nine months ended March 27, 1999 and 38.1% for the
comparable nine-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. The new disclosures required by SFAS No. 131 will
be effective for Miller's financial statements for the year ending
July 3, 1999 and will increase financial disclosures only and have no
impact on results of operations or financial position.
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 of operations. Costs related to the year 2000
issue have been 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. 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. Miller will develop a contingency plan to
safeguard Miller's operations in the event that any of Miller's
customers or vendors are not year 2000 compliant. In addition,
Miller will complete internal testing on all systems to insure year
2000 compliance. Based on information currently available,
management believes its systems are year 2000 compliant.
