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 provided for the assignment of Miller's lease of its
Kansas facility.  The purchase price consisted of $3.5 million in
cash 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 pre-tax gains on the sale of certain Kansas
assets of $208,329 in the quarter ended October 2, 1999 and
$1,225,828 in the quarter ended January 1, 2000.


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 - January 1, 2000 compared to July 3, 1999

     At January 1, 2000, Miller's working capital was $12,696,755
compared to $10,472,268 at July 3, 1999.  The working capital ratio
was 3.0 to 1 at January 1, 2000 and 2.3 to 1 at July 3, 1999.

     Miller has an unsecured bank credit agreement which provides for
advances up to $8,000,000 through November 30, 2000.  There were no
outstanding borrowings under this credit agreement at January 1, 2000
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 January 1, 2000 compared
to the three months ended December 26, 1998

     Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 declined 5.3%
from the corresponding quarter in fiscal 1999.  Net sales for the
Structures product line ("Structures") decreased 14.3% from the
second quarter last year.  This decrease was primarily the result of
lower sales at the Indiana operation which was prototyping and
converting production lines to produce luxury sports suites and the
loss of sales at the Kansas operation which was sold on August 20,
1999.  Net sales for the Telecom product line ("Telecom") decreased
slightly from the second quarter last year.  This decrease was
primarily the result of lost sales from the Kansas operation,
partially offset by increased sales at the United and Pennsylvania
Telecom operations.  The Structures business remains strong and its
third quarter results should be favorably impacted from the full
production of the luxury sports suites.   The order rate for the
Telecom business continues to increase.  The Telecom backlog is 56%
higher than last year, excluding last year's backlog at the Kansas
plant.  The current backlogs should provide the basis for Miller to
improve fiscal 2000 third quarter sales and earnings over the prior
year.  We believe United and the Pennsylvania Telecom facility will
continue to be strong contributors to Miller's overall profitability
during the remainder of fiscal 2000.

     During the three-month period ended January 1, 2000, cost of
products sold was 82.8% of net sales compared to 82.9% for the
comparable period of fiscal 1999.  This difference is not considered
material.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three-month
period ended January 1, 2000 decreased 2.4% when compared to the
similar period of fiscal 1999.  The lower selling, general and
administrative expenses were generally the result of lower
administrative expenses at the sold Kansas operation and lower
incentive compensation, partially offset by higher group health and
prototyping expenses.  As a percentage of net sales, selling, general
and administrative expenses for the three-month period ended January
1, 2000 were 11.0%, compared to 10.6% in the comparable three-month
period in fiscal 1999.

     During the three-month period ended January 1, 2000, Miller
recognized nonrecurring expenses of $101,391 related to costs
associated with a discontinued merger opportunity.

     Interest expense decreased $71,558 to $91,436 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 January 1, 2000 and 39.4% for the
comparable three-month period of fiscal 1999.


Results of Operations - Six months ended January 1, 2000 compared to
the six months ended December 26, 1998

     Net sales decreased $1,197,459 during the first six months of
fiscal 2000 or approximately 3.6% from the corresponding period in
fiscal 1999.  Net sales for the Structures product line decreased
9.7% from the first six months last year.  This decrease at
Structures was primarily the result of lost sales from the sold
Kansas facility and lower production levels at the Indiana facility
caused by the conversion of the production line to build luxury
sports suites.  Net sales for the Telecom product line decreased
slightly  from the first six months last year.  This decrease was the
primarily the result of lost sales volume from the sale of the Kansas
facility, which was partially offset by increased sales at the United
and Pennsylvania facilities.

     During the six-month period ended January 1, 2000, cost of
products sold was 81.8% of net sales compared to 82.5% for the
comparable period of fiscal 1999.  This decrease from the comparable
period last year is primarily the result of a higher mix of Telecom
products, which carry a higher gross profit than Structures products.

     Selling, general and administrative expense for the six-month
period ended January 1, 2000 increased 1.4% when compared to the
similar period of fiscal 1999.  The higher selling, general and
administrative expense was generally the result of higher group
insurance costs, travel expenses, consulting fees and prototyping
expense.  As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and
administrative expenses for the six-month period ended January 1,
2000 were 11.1%, compared to 10.6% in the comparable six-month period
in fiscal 1999.

     Interest expense decreased $114,332 to $206,752 during the
current six-month period compared to the similar period of the prior
year.  The decrease was attributable to lower levels of outstanding
debt.

     The provision for income taxes was 38.0% of income before income
taxes for the six months ended January 1, 2000 and 39.0% for the
comparable six-month period of fiscal 1999.

Year 2000 Compliance

     Miller has completed the process of identifying, evaluating and
implementing changes to its computer programs necessary to address
the Year 2000 issue.  Miller's current computer hardware and software
programs are Year 2000 compliant.  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.

     Miller has not experienced 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 has completed 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 be
Year 2000 compliant.  Miller is not aware of any 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 all third parties are Year 2000 compliant 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 will be detected.
