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

reflect a fair statement of the interim periods presented.  Operating

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.

Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Those

ability to achieve forecasted production levels through the fourth quarter 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.  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 - April 1, 2000 compared to July 3, 1999

     At April 1, 2000, Miller's working capital was $12,886,613
compared to $10,472,268 at July 3, 1999.  The working capital ratio
was 2.9 to 1 at April 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 April 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 April 1, 2000 compared to
the three months ended March 27, 1999

     Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 increased 38.0%
from the corresponding quarter in fiscal 1999.  Net sales for the
Structures product line ("Structures") increased 67.2% over the third
quarter last year.  This increase was primarily the result of a large
contract for the manufacturer and sale of luxury suites.  Net sales
for the Telecom product line ("Telecom") increased 20.1% over the
third quarter last year.  This increase was the result of higher
sales at all Telecom operations, particularly at the United
operation.  The Structures business remains strong as their backlogs
will provide a base of business well into the next fiscal year.  The
Telecom backlog is over 40% higher than last year.  These current
backlogs should provide the basis for Miller to have strong fourth
quarter sales and earnings.  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 April 1, 2000, cost of
products sold was 82.9% of net sales compared to 82.6% for the
comparable period of fiscal 1999.  The increase in cost of goods sold
was the result of a higher mix of Structures product which generally
carry a lower gross profit than the Telecom product.

     Selling, general and administrative expense for the three-month
period ended April 1, 2000 increased 39.6% when compared to the
similar period of fiscal 1999.  The higher selling, general and
administrative expenses were generally the result of higher
administrative expenses at the United operation, coupled with higher
group health and incentive compensation expense.  As a percentage of
net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses for the
three-month period ended April 1, 2000 were 11.3%, compared to 11.1%
in the comparable three-month period in fiscal 1999.

     Interest expense decreased $37,257 to $99,793 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 April 1, 2000 and 35.4% for the
comparable three-month period of fiscal 1999.  The prior period
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 April 1, 2000 compared to
the nine months ended March 27, 1999

     Net sales increased $4,247,591 during the first nine months of
fiscal 2000 or approximately 8.9% from the corresponding period in
fiscal 1999.  Net sales for the Structures product line increased
11.5% over the nine months last year.  The increase at Structures was
primarily the result of the strong third quarter sales volume which
more than offset lost sales from the sold Kansas facility.  Net sales
for the Telecom product line increased 5.7% over the first nine
months last year.  This increase was the primarily the result of
strong sales at the United and Pennsylvania facilities, which also
offset the lost sales volume from the sale of the Kansas facility.

     During the nine-month period ended April 1, 2000, cost of
products sold was 82.2% 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 nine-month
period ended April 1, 2000 increased 13.3% 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, prototyping
expense and incentive compensation.  As a percentage of net sales,
selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine-month
period ended April 1, 2000 were 11.2%, compared to 10.7% in the
comparable nine-month period in fiscal 1999.

     Interest expense decreased $151,588 to $306,545 during the
current nine-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 nine months ended April 1, 2000 and for the comparable
nine-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.
