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" or the "Company").  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

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 June 30, 2001.  The
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 1, 2000 should be
read in conjunction with these statements.

     The July 1, 2000 condensed consolidated balance sheet was
derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all

Note E - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In December 1999, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission
issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 101, "Revenue Recognition in
Financial Statements"; SAB 101 outlines the basic criteria that must
be met to recognize revenue, and provides guidelines for disclosure
related to revenue recognition policies.  This quidance is required
to be implemented by Miller in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2001.
The Company is currently reviewing this quidance in order to
determine the impact, if any, on its consolidated financial
statements.

Note F - DISPOSITION OF KANSAS OPERATION

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 provided 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, including the Kansas facility lease which had
previously been capitalized by Miller.  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 upon the assignment and
transfer of a lease agreement for the Kansas facility.  The
assignment and transfer of the lease agreement for the Kansas
facility by Miller to the Buyer was approved by the lessor, Coffey
County, in November 1999.  Miller reported a pre-tax gain on the sale
of certain Kansas assets of $208,329 in the quarter ended October 2,
1999 and an additional gain of $1,238,379 during the quarter ended
January 1, 2000 upon consumation of the assignment and transfer of
the lease agreement.

Note G - NONRECURRING ITEMS

During the first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2000, Miller
recognized nonrecurring expenses aggregating $753,992, consisting of
$206,325 of costs related to its recent merger activities and costs
of $547,667 associated with contractual obligations for a retiring
executive.  Miller has incurred $649,440 in additional nonrecurring
costs principally related to its merger activity after September 30,
2000.

Note H - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

On August 31, 2000, Miller entered an Agreement and Plan of Merger
with Coachmen Industries, Inc. ("Coachmen") to acquire all of
Miller's outstanding common stock for $8.40 in cash per share, plus
up to an additional $.30 in cash per share provided certain
conditions have been met by Miller, including the resolution of the
dispute discussed in the following paragraph.  Coachmen successfully
completed its tender offer on October 19, 2000 and the merger was
completed on October 31, 2000.

On August 22, 2000, Miller notified Modtech Holdings, Inc.
("Modtech") that it had entered into an agreement with Coachmen with
respect to Coachmen's offer.  Modtech indicated that they intended to
hold Miller liable for the payment of a $1 million termination fee
pursuant to the June 9, 2000 letter agreement between Miller and
Modtech.  On the same day, Miller filed a Complaint for Summary
Judgement requesting the court's declaration that Miller, among other
things, had properly terminated its letter agreement with Modtech and
that it had no obligation to pay the $1 million termination fee or
any other amount to Modtech.  On September 7, 2000, Modtech filed a
Complaint against Miller requesting that, among other things, that
Modtech did not breach its letter agreement with Miller and that
Modtech is entitled to payment of the $1 million termination fee.  In
addition, Modtech requested that the Court order Miller to promptly
consummate a merger with Modtech at a price of $8.05 per share and
restrain Miller from taking any action in furtherance of the
consummation of the transaction with Coachmen.  Miller is unable to
determine the success of its request for Summary Judgement and, accordingly,
no provision has been made in Miller's September 30, 2000 financial statements
for any termination fee or other amount due to Modtech.

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

Financial Condition - September 30, 2000 compared to July 1, 2000

     At September 30, 2000, Miller's working capital was $14,475,397
compared to $13,737,699 at July 1, 2000.  The working capital ratio
was 2.8 to 1 at September 30, 2000 and 2.9 to 1 at July 1, 2000.

     Miller has an unsecured bank credit agreement which provides for
advances up to $8,000,000 through November 30, 2000 and Miller
expects this credit facility will be renewed through November 30,
2001.  There were no outstanding borrowings under this credit
agreement at September 30, 2000 and July 1, 2000.

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

Results of Operations - Three months ended September 30, 2000
compared to the three months ended October 2, 1999

     Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 increased 22.0%
from the corresponding quarter in fiscal 2000.  Net sales for the
Structures product line ("Structures") increased 3.1% over the first
quarter last year.  Net sales increases at the Structures
Pennsylvania and South Dakota locations were nearly offset by lower
production levels at the Indiana plant and softness in the market at
the Vermont plant.  Net sales for the Telecom product line
("Telecom") increased 40.5% over the first quarter last year.  This
increase was the result of higher sales at all Telecom operations,
particularly at the United operation.  The Structures business is
beginning to soften, however, the Telecom backlog is over 52% higher
than last year at this time.  The current backlogs should provide the
basis for Miller to have strong second quarter sales and earnings.
We believe the United Telecom facility will continue to be a strong
contributor to Miller's overall profitability.

     During the three-month period ended September 30, 2000, cost of
products sold was 82.9% of net sales compared to 80.9% for the
comparable period of fiscal 2000.  The increase in cost of goods sold
was principally the result of higher warranty, group health and
workers compensation costs.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2000 increased 4.5% when compared to the
similar period of fiscal 2000.  The higher selling, general and
administrative expenses were generally the result of higher salary
and administrative expenses at the United operation.  As a percentage
of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses for the
three-month period ended September 30, 2000 were 9.7%, compared to
11.3% in the comparable three-month period in fiscal 2000.

     During the first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2000, Miller
recognized nonrecurring expenses aggregating $753,992 consisting of
$206,325 of costs related to its recent merger activities and costs
of $547,667 associated with contractual obligations for a retiring
executive.  Miller has incurred $649,440 in additional nonrecurring
costs principally related to its merger activity after September 30,
2000.

     Interest expense decreased $23,223 to $92,094 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 both the three months ended September 30, 2000 and for the
comparable three-month period of fiscal 2000.
