PROXY STATEMENT

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

To Be Held August 13, 2003

This Proxy Statement is being furnished to the stockholders of Modtech Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Company’s Board of Directors for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company to be held at the Hilton Irvine Hotel, 18800 MacArthur Boulevard, Irvine, California 92612, on August 13, 2003 at 1:00 P.M., local time, and at any continuation or adjournment thereof.

This Proxy Statement, and the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting and proxy card, are first being mailed on or about June 30, 2003 to stockholders of record on June 20, 2003, the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. A copy of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 is concurrently being mailed to all stockholders of record as of June 20, 2003.

The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Company. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, solicitation may be made by telephone, telegraph or personal interview by Directors, officers and other regular employees of the Company, without extra compensation. Brokerage houses, nominees, fiduciaries and other custodians will be requested to forward soliciting material to the beneficial owners of shares and will be reimbursed for their expenses.

VOTING RIGHTS

As of June 20, 2003, the record date for the determination of the stockholders of the Company entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting, there were 13,693,680 shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote on each matter to come before the Annual Meeting.

Properly executed and returned proxies, unless revoked, will be voted as directed by the stockholder, or in the absence of such direction, by the persons named therein FOR the election of the eight director nominees listed below. As to any other business which may properly come before the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will vote in accordance with their best judgment. A proxy may be revoked at any time before it is voted by delivery of written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company or by delivery of a subsequently dated proxy, or by attendance at the Annual Meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the Annual Meeting without also voting will not in and of itself constitute the revocation of a proxy.

More than one-half (½) of the outstanding shares of common stock must be present, either in person or represented by proxy, to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the annual meeting. As of the record date, June 20, 2003, there were 13,693,680 shares of Modtech’s common stock outstanding. Under certain circumstances, broker-dealer firms are prohibited from granting proxies to vote their customers’ shares without instructions from the customers (so-called “broker non-votes”). In such cases, and when a stockholder abstains from voting on a matter, the broker non-votes and abstentions will not be counted as votes cast, but will be counted for purposes of determining if a quorum is present.

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes, which means that the eight nominees who receive the highest number of votes will be elected as directors. The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares common stock present in person or by proxy at the annual meeting is necessary to approve all other matters submitted at the meeting.

Compensation Committee Report

It is the policy of the Company’s Compensation Committee to establish compensation levels for the executive officers, which reflect the Company’s overall performance and their performance, responsibilities and contributions to the long-term growth and profitability of the Company. The committee determines compensation of the executive officers, including the chief executive officer, based on its evaluation of the Company’s overall performance, including various quantitative factors, primarily the Company’s financial performance, sales and earnings against the Company’s operating plan, as well as various qualitative factors such as new product development, the Company’s product and service quality, the extent to which the executive officers have contributed to forming a strong management team and other factors which the committee believes are indicative of the Company’s ongoing ability to achieve its long-term growth and profit objectives. The Compensation Committee has and may continue to rely on reports from compensation consultants in this matter.

The principal component of the compensation of the executive officers is their base salaries. The committee also retains the discretion to award bonuses based on corporate or individual performance. The committee evaluates the practices of various industry groups, market data, including data obtained from time to time from outside compensation consultants, and other economic information to determine the appropriate ranges of base salary levels which will enable the Company to retain and incentivize the executive officers. Throughout the year, the committee members review the corporate and individual performance factors described above. The committee, based upon its review of performance for the previous year and its review of the Company’s operating plan, establishes salary levels and awards any bonuses to the executive officers, including the chief executive officer.

The Compensation Committee also considers grants of stock options for the Company’s key employees, including executive officers. The purpose of the stock option program is to provide incentives to the Company’s management to work to maximize stockholder value. The option program also utilizes vesting periods to encourage key employees to continue in the employ of the Company. Individual amounts of annual stock option grants are derived based upon review of competitive compensation practices with respect to the same or similar executive positions, overall corporate performance and individual performance.

Audit Committee Report

The Audit Committee of the board of directors is composed of three non-employee directors, each of whom has been determined to be independent under the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Listing Standards. The Committee operates under a written charger adopted by the board of directors. A copy of the Committee’s charter was attached as an appendix to the company’s proxy statement for the 2001 annual meeting.

Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process. The company’s independent auditors are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of our audited financial statements to generally accepted accounting principles. The Committee reviews the company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the board of directors, but the activities of the Committee are in no way designed to supersede or alter the traditional responsibilities of the board of directors or independent auditors. The Committee’s role does not provide any special assurances with regard to the company’s financial statements, nor does it involve a professional evaluation for the quality of the audits performed by the independent auditors.

The Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management. The Committee has discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees). The Committee received from the independent auditors the written disclosures required by Independence Standards Board No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees) and discussed with them their independence from the Company and its management. Additionally, the Audit Committee considered whether the independent auditors’ provision of non-audit related work is compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence.

Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Committee recommended to the board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires the Company’s officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership (Forms 3, 4 and 5) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and to furnish the Company with copies of all such forms which they file.

To the Company’s knowledge, based solely on the Company’s review of such reports or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were required to be filed by those persons, the Company believes that during the year ended December 31, 2002 filing requirements applicable to the officers and directors of the Company and other persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act were complied with.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

KPMG LLP was retained to serve as the Company’s independent certified public accountants for the fiscal years ending December 31, 2001 and 2002. A representative of KPMG LLP is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, and to be available to respond to any stockholder questions directed to KPMG LLP. This representative will have an opportunity to make a statement if KPMG LLP so desires.

Fees billed to the Company by KPMG LLP for services rendered during fiscal year 2001 and 2002 were as follows:

	2001		2002
Audit fees:	$	140,000	$	149,000
Audit-related fees*:	$	2,000	$	—
Tax fees*:	$	51,806	$	90,365
All other fees:	$	—	$	—

*Audit-related fees include audits of certain businesses acquired during the year. Tax fees primarily consist of tax compliance. The Audit Committee considered, in reliance on management and the independent auditor, whether the provision of these services is compatible with maintaining independence with KPMG LLP.
