Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2004

1) Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations as of and for the periods presented.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal years.

2) Inventories

Inventories consist of the following:

3) Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The following table illustrates the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 128:

Options to purchase 1,345,000 and 1,751,000 shares of common stock were outstanding during the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive.

4) Debt

The Company amended its credit facility in March 2004, continuing the relationship with the previous lenders. The amended credit facility provides for a $35 million revolving credit line and a $12 million term loan maturing in 2006. The term loan is subject to mandatory repayment in certain events, including from the proceeds of any securities offerings by the Company.

The financial performance for the three months ended March 31, 2004 resulted in the violation of certain bank covenants. In May 2004, the Company secured waives for those covenant violations and secured an amendment that modified certain terms and covenants to better reflect the current credit needs of the Company and further assure that all covenants will be met in the future. Reflecting the continuing reduction of overall debt, the revolving loan commitment was reduced from $35,000,000 to $30,000,000 with the overall credit facility reducing from $47,000,000 to $42,000,000.

5) Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows:

6) Stock Options Plans

The Company applies the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations including FASB Interpretation No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation, an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25”, to account for its fixed-plan stock options. Under this method, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” – as amended, established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. As permitted by existing accounting standards, the Company has elected to continue to apply the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting described above, and has adopted only the disclosure requirements of Statement 123, as amended. The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) if the fair-value-based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period.

The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2004 were $5.09, and $4.07 respectively, on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Cautionary Statement

You should read the following discussion and analysis with our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. We urge you to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made in this report and in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Forward Looking Statements

This quarterly report contains statements which, to the extent that they are not recitations of historical fact, such as our belief that we have sufficient liquidity to meet our near-term operating needs, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The words “believe,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “intend,” “expect,” “plan,” “outlook,” “forecast” “may,” “will,” “should,” “continue,” “predict” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are intended to be subject to the safe harbor protection within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Future events and actual results could differ materially from those set forth in, contemplated by, or underlying the forward-looking statements. Statements in this quarterly report, including the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” describe factors, among others, that could contribute to or cause such differences. Although we believe the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, there is no assurance that our expectations will be attained.

Use of Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement and reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management continually evaluates its estimates and assumptions including those related the Company’s most critical accounting policies. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Changes in economic conditions could have an impact on these estimates and the Company’s actual results. Management believes that the following may involve a higher degree of judgment or complexity:

Allowances for Contract Adjustments

The Company maintains allowances for contract adjustments that result from the inability of its customers to make their required payments. Management bases its allowances on analysis of the aging of accounts receivable, by account, at the date of the financial statements, assessments of historical collection trends, and an evaluation of the impact of current economic conditions. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Revenue Recognition on Construction Contracts

Contracts are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting and, therefore, take into account the costs, estimated earnings and revenue to date on contracts not yet complete. Revenue recognized is that percentage of the total contract price that cost expended to date bears to anticipated final total cost, based on current estimates of costs to complete. The percentage-of-completion methodology generally results in the recognition of reasonably consistent profit margins over the life of a contract. Cumulative revenues recognized may be less or greater than cumulative costs and profits billed at any point in time during a contract’s term. The resulting difference is recognized as unbilled or deferred revenue.

Any estimation process, including that used in preparing contract accounting models, involves inherent risk. We reduce the inherent risk relating to revenue and cost estimates in percentage-of-completion models through corporate policy, approval and monitoring processes. Risks relating to project delivery, productivity and other factors are considered in the estimation process. Our estimates of revenues and costs on construction contracts change periodically in the normal course of business due to factors such as productivity and modifications of contractual arrangements. Such changes are reflected in the results of operations as a change in accounting estimate in the period the revisions are determined. Provisions for estimated losses are made in the period in which the loss first becomes apparent.

Company Overview

Modtech manufactures and sells modular relocatable classrooms and commercial and light industrial modular buildings. The Company is a leading provider of modular classrooms in the State of California and a significant provider of commercial and light industrial modular buildings in California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Texas, Florida and other neighboring states. The Company continues to expand its classroom offerings in all locations in response to the increasing demand for new classroom products.

At March 31, 2004, the Company had six manufacturing facilities. Two are located in Southern California, in Perris, California, which is approximately 60 miles east of Los Angeles. The Company has another facility in Lathrop, California. Lathrop is located approximately 75 miles east of San Francisco. The fourth manufacturing facility is located in Phoenix, Arizona. The Company has another facility in Glen Rose, Texas. Glen Rose is located approximately 75 miles southwest of Dallas. The Company’s sixth manufacturing facility is located in Plant City, Florida, northeast of Tampa. All of the locations manufacture and sell products into the classroom, commercial and light industrial markets.

Results of Current Operations – Overview

Driven by unusually lengthy delays in certain classroom projects and a slower than expected sales cycle in the Company’s non-classroom products, net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2004 were down 27% when compared to the same period the prior year. Gross profit was off significantly when compared to the prior year, declining from $3.8 million for the first-quarter in 2003 to a loss of $230 thousand for the first-quarter of 2004. Costs were under-absorbed due to the lower than anticipated production levels and material cost increases which could not be recovered due to fixed-price contracts were the primary contributors to the lower gross profit.

Backlog continued to rise during the first-quarter and is now at a record-level $155 million, up 35% from $115 million a year ago. Backlog for non-California classroom products was up 70% over the prior year and up 350% over year-end 2003. This is a direct result of the new direct-sales strategy implemented during the fourth quarter of 2003.

The Company believes that the record-level backlog and the resulting higher production levels and improved cost-absorption in the upcoming quarters should lead to higher sales and profits.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth certain items in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as a percent of net sales.

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2004, decreased by $10,876,000, or 27.0%. The decrease in net sales was attributable to approval delays relating to certain school classroom production and the continued low commercial and industrial sales. Certain large school projects in California, which were expected to be produced and delivered in the first quarter were delayed due to an unusually lengthy approval process with delays involving the customer, the customer’s architect, and the state’s architecture division. In addition, projects expected to start in the first quarter were delayed for similar reasons. Many of these delays were resolved and the units have been placed into production.

Gross profit (loss) as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2004 decreased to (0.8%) from 9.4% for the same period in 2003. The decrease in gross profit was due primarily to the inability to absorb fixed manufacturing costs because of the lower volumes and inefficiencies generated by the ramp-up of production after the year-end shut down at the end of 2003. Other factors include an increase in the cost of direct labor and significant increases in the price of steel and lumber.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2004 by $481,000, an increase of 26.6%. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general, and administrative expenses increased from 4.5% in the first three months of 2003 to 7.8% in 2004. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was principally attributable to the Company’s shift to a direct-sales force for its United Modular division. The lower sales revenue for the period compounded the increased spending to account for the increase as a percentage of sales.

Interest expense, net, increased for the three months ended March 31, 2004, by $74,000, or 22.5%. The increase is attributable to the write-off of certain loan issuance costs, previously capitalized, as interest expense during the first quarter of 2004. This write-off of previously capitalized loan issuance costs is a result of the decreased borrowing capacity available under the credit facility. As a percentage of net sales, interest expense increased from 0.9% in the first three months of 2003 to 1.4% in 2004. Without the impact of the write-off of certain loan issuance costs, interest expense was down for the three months ended March 31, 2004 when compared to the prior year, due to the reduced level of overall average debt.

Due to the loss before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company provided for a tax benefit of $1.2 million for the quarter then ended. This compares to a provision for taxes of $672 thousand for the same three months the prior year. An effective tax rate of 42% was used for both calculations.

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was $1,701,000 compared to net income of $928,000 for the same period the prior year. This change is the direct result of the cost factors discussed above.

Inflation

The Company was adversely affected by recent steel, lumber and plywood price increases during the three months ended March 31, 2004. Although the Company aggressively pursued means of offsetting the impact of these price increases, the Company estimates that there was a negative impact of $750 thousand in the first three months of 2004.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To date, the Company has generated cash from operations, bank borrowings and public offerings to meet its needs. At March 31, 2004, the Company had $1,488,000 in cash and cash equivalents. During the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company’s operating activities used net cash of $2,149,000.

During the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company has a $47,000,000 credit facility, of which $35,000,000 represents a revolving loan commitment. The credit facility is secured by all the Company’s assets. The credit facility, which contains various covenants, expires in December 2006, at which time the long-term debt must be repaid. Long-term debt maturities for the remaining life of the credit facility are: $2,250,000 for the remaining nine months of 2004; $3,000,000 in 2005 and $6,000,000 in 2006. On March 31, 2004, $10,900,000 was outstanding under the revolving loan commitment.

The financial performance for the three months ended March 31, 2004 resulted in the violation of certain bank covenants. In May 2004 the Company secured waivers for those covenant violations and secured an amendment that modified certain terms and covenants to better reflect the current credit needs of the Company and further assure that all covenants will be met in the future. Reflecting the continuing reduction of overall debt the revolving loan commitment was reduced from $35,000,000 to $30,000,000 with the overall credit facility reducing from $47,000,000 to $42,000,000.

Management believes that the Company’s existing product lines and manufacturing capacity will enable the Company to generate sufficient cash through operations, supplemented by periodic use of its existing bank line of credit, to finance the Company’s business at current levels over the next 12 months. Additional cash resources may be required if the Company expands its business beyond current levels. For example, it will be necessary for the Company to construct or acquire additional manufacturing facilities in order for the Company to compete effectively in new market areas or states which are beyond a 300 mile radius from one of its production facilities. The construction or acquisition of new facilities would require significant additional capital. For these reasons, among others, the Company may need additional debt or equity financing in the future. There can be, however, no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining such additional financing, or that any such financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.

Commitments and Contingencies

Land Leases

The Company has entered into various non-cancelable agreements to lease land at its manufacturing facilities through 2019. Minimum lease payments under these non-cancelable operating leases for the next five years and thereafter are as follows:

Of the $9,705,000 in future rental payments, $6,305,000 is payable to related parties.

Item 3. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk refers to the risk that a change in the level of one or more market factors such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, or equity prices will result in losses for a certain financial instrument of group of instruments. We are principally exposed to interest rate and credit risks. We are not exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk.

INTEREST RATE RISK

We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuation in interest rates on our $47 million credit facility. During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, we did not use interest rate swaps or other types of derivative financial instruments. The carrying value of the credit facility approximates fair value as the interest rate is variable and resets frequently. Indebtedness under the credit facility bears interest at LIBOR plus additional interest of between 1.25% and 2.50%, or the Federal Funds rate plus additional interest of between 0.25% to 1.00%. The additional interest charge is based upon certain financial ratios. We estimate that the average amount of debt outstanding under the credit facility for 2004 will be $24 million. Therefore, a one-percentage point increase in interest rates would result in an increase in interest expense of $240,000 for the year.

CREDIT RISK

We are currently exposed to credit risk on credit extended to customers. We actively monitor this risk through a variety of control procedures involving senior management. Historically, credit losses have been small and within our expectations.

Item 4. Controls And Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to us that is required to be included in our SEC filings. No changes occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2004, in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
