The following summary does not contain all the information that may be important to you. You should read the entire prospectus, including the financial statements and other information incorporated by reference in this prospectus, before making an investment decision.

Our Company

We are a leading provider of modular classrooms in the State of California and a significant provider of classroom, commercial and light industrial modular buildings in California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Florida and other neighboring states. We serve the educational, commercial, governmental, institutional and retail markets. We distribute our classroom and custom projects through direct sales outside of California and we use dealers and distributors for all other markets. As of December 31, 2006 we had four manufacturing facilities, one in California and one in each of Texas, Arizona and Florida. We use each of these manufacturing locations to manufacture and sell products into all the markets we serve.  

Our principal executive offices are located at 2830 Barrett Avenue, Perris, California 92571 and our telephone number is (951) 943-4014. Information contained in our website, www.modtech.com, is not part of this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS
 
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. We operate in a dynamic and rapidly changing industry that involves numerous risks and uncertainties. Before purchasing these securities, you should carefully consider the following risk factors, as well as other information contained in this prospectus or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, to evaluate an investment in the securities offered by this prospectus. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Other risks and uncertainties, including those that we do not currently consider material, may impair our business. If any of the risks discussed below actually occur, our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows could be materially adversely affected. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

We have recently incurred significant operating losses as well as negative operating cash flow and may continue to do so which could adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to obtain bonding necessary for our construction projects.

We experienced significant operating losses in 2006, 2005 and 2004 as well as negative operating cash flow for all three years. We may continue to experience future operating losses and negative operating cash flow. The operating losses in 2004 were due primarily to losses on a single project and unanticipated price increases for raw materials that were not able to be passed on to the customer. Although we had positive gross profit during the year ended December 31, 2005, we experienced a net loss of approximately $21.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 and a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of approximately $8.5 million for the period. Cost overruns of $11.5 million on four projects and the high cost of servicing our debt, totaling $9.0 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2005, were the primary causes of the losses. For the year ended December 31, 2006, our revenues were down 32.3% and our gross profit margin declined to 2.8% from 3.9% compared to the prior year. We may experience future losses that could adversely affect our liquidity and ability to obtain bonding.

In the past two years, we have breached the financial covenants of our credit facility.

During 2005, we were unable to meet the financial ratios required by our then current lender and had to obtain waivers and amendments. We incurred substantial fees to obtain the amendments. During 2006, we violated certain financial covenants in our credit facility with Bank of America and under our convertible note issued to Amphora, although we did not incur any fees to obtain waivers.

The $19.5 million in promissory notes we have issued to Laurus Master Fund, Ltd are secured by liens on substantially all of our assets. Should we default under these notes the note holder could foreclose upon all of our assets. We may not generate sufficient cash flow to repay our indebtedness, and we may not be able to obtain additional financing or refinance our indebtedness when needed on reasonable terms, if at all. The failure to obtain such financing would reduce our access to necessary capital to fund our operations and harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
Our substantial leverage could adversely affect our financial condition.

We are highly leveraged and expect to continue to be highly leveraged. As of December 31, 2005, our aggregate outstanding indebtedness was $43.6 million. As of December 31, 2006 such indebtedness was $19.5 million. Our primary source of capital is the loan proceeds from the notes we issued to Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. The notes must be repaid in full by December 28, 2009. The notes are not a revolving credit facility which we can pay down and borrow against again. If the proceeds from the notes prove to be insufficient or are utilized faster than anticipated, we may not have sufficient cash flow available to fund manufacturing, distribution and other operating expenses.
 
1

 
In addition, our flexibility to plan for or react to downturns in our business, our industry or the economy in general, as well as our ability to pursue strategic acquisitions and other business opportunities that may be in our best interests will be limited.

Should we experience a decline in the value of our assets which secure our debt, it would limit our ability to obtain additional or new financing, if necessary, for operating expenses, or limit our ability to obtain such financing on reasonable terms.

Our future results may fluctuate, fail to match past performance or fail to meet expectations.  

Our results may fluctuate in the future, may fail to match our past performance or fail to meet the expectations of analysts and investors. Our results and related ratios, such as gross margin, operating income percentage and effective tax rate may fluctuate as a result of:
 
 
 
general economic conditions in the states where we sell our products;
 
 
 
legislative and educational policies in the states where we sell our products;
  
 
 
seasonality and variability in the modular classroom and our other end-markets;
 
 
 
the timing of new product introductions by us and our competitors;
  
 
 
product obsolescence;
 
 
 
the scheduling, rescheduling or cancellation of orders by our customers;
 
 
 
the cyclical nature of demand for our products;
 
 
 
capacity utilization;
 
 
 
product mix and pricing;
 
 
 
movements in interest rates or tax rates;
 
 
 
litigation and regulatory matters.
 
As a result of these factors, our past financial results are not necessarily indicative of our future results.  

The prices of raw materials have significantly increased in recent years and if we are unable to pass these costs onto our customers, our financial results could be significantly harmed.  

The cost of raw materials represents a significant portion of our operating expenses. As a result of domestic and international events, the prices of raw materials we use in our operations fluctuate and have significantly increased in recent years. For example, during 2004, the cost of steel nearly doubled for certain steel used in some of our components and overall our steel costs were up in excess of 30%. We are not always able to obtain the right in our contracts to pass through raw material price increases to our customers. Should we experience significant increases in the price of raw materials as we did in 2004, our financial results could be adversely affected.

Our current promissory notes contain certain covenants and financial conditions that limit the way we conduct business.

The promissory notes we issued to Laurus and the agreement pursuant to which we issued the notes contain various covenants limiting our ability to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, pay dividends and make other distributions, make capital expenditures, make acquisitions and sell assets. These covenants may prevent us from raising additional financing, competing effectively or taking advantage of new business opportunities. Under the notes, we are also required to maintain a minimum amount of cash and approved accounts receivable.

If we cannot comply with these covenants or meet the minimum account balance condition, it could result in a default under the notes and unless we are able to negotiate an amendment, forbearance or waiver, we could be required to repay all amounts then outstanding, which could require us to refinance our debt on terms less favorable to us or if we are unable to refinance, we may be forced to repay our debt which would reduce funds available for our operations and harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we are forced to repay our debt, we may have to raise funds through the liquidation of some of our assets.
 
2


The notes are secured by liens on substantially all of our assets. If we are in default under the notes, the lender could foreclose upon all or substantially all of our assets. We cannot assure you that we will generate sufficient cash flow to repay our indebtedness, and we further cannot assure you that, if the need arises, we will be able to obtain additional financing or to refinance our indebtedness on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any such failure to obtain financing could reduce our access to necessary capital to fund our operations which would harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We have experienced significant turnover of senior management and our current executive management team has been together for a limited time, which could slow the growth of our business and cause our operating results to decline.  

Throughout 2003 and 2004, we announced a series of changes in our management that included the departure of several senior executives, and there have also been changes in the responsibilities of our board of directors. Our chairman, Charles C. McGettigan, a long serving company director became chairman in August 2003; in June 2003 Dennis Shogren joined us as our chief financial officer and in September 2004, David Buckley joined us as our chief executive officer. Mr. Buckley resigned in 2006, and Mr. Shogren was appointed chief executive officer. Kenneth Cragun joined us in 2006 as our new chief financial officer.

Other members of our senior management team are new to Modtech or new in their positions. Because of these recent changes, our management team has not worked together as a group for an extended period of time and may not work together as effectively to successfully execute on revenue goals, implement our strategies and manage our operations as they would if they had worked together for a longer period of time.

If our management team is unable to accomplish our business objectives, our ability to grow our business and successfully meet operational challenges could be severely impaired.

Only Mr. Shogren and Ronald Savona have long-term employment agreements and it is possible that this high turnover at our senior management levels may also continue for a variety of reasons. We are not aware of impending retirements or voluntary separations, but the loss of the services of one or more of our key senior executive officers could also affect our ability to successfully implement our business objectives, which could slow the growth of our business and cause our operating results to decline. For these reasons, our shareholders may lose confidence in our management team and decide to dispose of our common stock, which could cause the price of our common stock to decline.

We receive a significant portion of our revenues from the sale of classrooms to the State of California and California school districts, the leasing companies that lease classrooms to such school districts and from a small number of independent dealers, the loss of any one of these customers or failure to collect a receivable from them could adversely affect our operations and financial position.

We receive a significant portion of our revenues from the sale of classrooms to California school districts, to leasing companies that lease to such school districts and to a small number of independent dealers. Historically, certain California school districts, certain leasing companies and certain independent dealers have individually accounted for 10% or more of our consolidated revenues in certain quarters or represented 10% or more of our net accounts receivable on any given date. During the year ended December 31, 2006, sales of classrooms, directly or indirectly, for use in California schools accounted for approximately 39% of our net sales. During the same year, one independent dealer accounted for 6.9% of our net sales and St. Lucie County in Florida accounted for 12.5% of our sales.
 
The loss of any significant customer, the failure to collect a significant receivable from a significant customer, any material reduction in orders by a significant customer or the cancellation of a significant customer order could significantly reduce our revenues and consequently harm our financial condition and our ability to fund our operations and service our debt.

Sales of our classroom product are dependent upon the legislative and educational policies and the financial condition of the states in which we do business.
 
The demand for our modular relocatable classrooms is affected by various state statutes which, among other things, prescribe:
 
 
 
the way in which all school classrooms to be constructed on public lands must be designed and engineered;
  
 
the methods by which customers for our classroom product, primarily individual school districts, obtain funding for the construction of new facilities; and
  
 
the manner in which available funding is spent.
 
As a result, our business depends upon the legislative and educational policies and financial condition of the states in which we do business. For example, in California, funding for new school construction and rehabilitation of existing schools by school districts currently is provided primarily at the state level, through annual allocations of funds derived from general revenue sources and statewide bond issues. In addition, school districts obtain funding for the purchase or lease of school facilities through the imposition of developers’ fees and local bond issuances. The availability of this funding is subject to financial and political considerations which vary from district to district and is not tied to demand. In California there is a requirement that, in order for school districts to increase the amount of funds to be received from developers in excess of the statutory level, school districts must show that 20% of all classroom space, not just space to be added, consists of relocatable classrooms. Although our classroom units qualify as relocatable structures, there are alternative structures that are less relocatable in nature than our classrooms that may also satisfy this legislative requirement. Changes in the legislative and educational policies or shortages of financial resources at either state or local levels in the states in which we do business could harm our business.

Despite the existence of some barriers to entry into our markets, our markets are competitive and our market share may be reduced if competitors enter the market or we are unable to respond to our competitors effectively.

Barriers to entry into the modular classroom and commercial and light industrial modular building markets consist primarily of access to capital, the availability of a qualified labor pool, the nature of the bidding process, the level of performance bonding required, and the industry’s regulated environment. In the California market, for example, the state approves the designs and plans for classrooms sold to California schools and the time required to complete the approval process also creates a barrier to entry. However, manufacturers of other modular buildings, including housing and classrooms, who possess a skilled work force and manufacturing facilities, could easily adapt their manufacturing facilities to produce modular structures, and might choose to do so, during an economic downturn in their industry. We expect continued competition from existing competitors as well as competition from new entrants into the modular building market. In 2005, two of our former executive officers opened separate and unrelated modular building manufacturing business, one in Texas and the other across the street from our plant in Perris, California.

Our ability to compete successfully depends on several factors, including:

 
maintaining high product quality;
     
 
ability to deliver products on a timely basis;
     
 
pricing policies of our competitors;
     
 
success in designing and manufacturing new products;
     
 
performance of competitors’ products;
     
 
marketing, manufacturing and distribution capability; and
     
 
financial strength.
 
To the extent our products achieve market success, competitors typically seek to offer competitive products or lower prices, which, if successful, could reduce our market share, harm our ability to compete successfully and reduce our revenue and margins which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Fluctuations, seasonality and economic downturns in any of our end-markets may have adverse consequences for our business.

Our quarterly revenue typically has been highest in the second and third quarters of the year when school districts generally place a large number of orders for modular classrooms to be delivered in time for the upcoming school year. Additionally, first and fourth quarter revenues are typically lower due to a greater number of holidays, days of inclement weather, and customer budget and fiscal constraints during such periods.

In the past, the level of funding available from the states in which we do business to the school districts which are the end customers of our classrooms have caused such districts to experience budget shortfalls and to reduce their demand for our products despite growing student populations. If restrictions or limitations on funding available to school districts from the states in which we do business increases, it could result in a lower number of orders for our products which could reduce our revenues and consequently harm our financial condition and our ability to fund our operations and service our debt.

If liabilities related to inspection and certification tests exceed our estimates, our profitability could be harmed.  

Most of our contracts require us to build classrooms which meet certain established state mandated function and manufacturing specifications. Under such contracts, we assume the liability for correcting, without additional compensation, any deficiencies which cause the classrooms to fail inspection and certification tests. We rely upon our experience and expertise to evaluate the potential for such liability and to price our bids accordingly and we follow strict quality control standards and subject our units under construction to extensive testing under the supervision of inspectors hired by our customers. If we incur such liability significantly in excess of our estimated profitability it could harm our business.  

In addition, delays in obtaining approvals can cause costs to exceed our estimates and harm our results. For example, a delay in the approval of certain welds called for in a project for the Heritage High School in Brentwood, California in 2004 resulted in an accelerated timeline to complete that project which, in turn, led to approximately $3.8 million in additional costs.

We are subject to government regulations and other standards that impose operational and reporting requirements.  

We are subject to a variety of Untied States federal, state and local government laws, rules and regulations, including those related to the use, storage, handling, discharge or disposal of certain toxic, volatile or otherwise hazardous chemicals used in the manufacturing process.
 
4


We believe we are currently in material compliance with such laws, rules and regulations and price our bids in accordance with our experience and expertise to include the costs of such compliance. If there are changes in such laws, rules or regulations or we are found not to be in compliance with such laws, rules or regulations, we could be required to incur substantial additional expenses to acquire equipment necessary to make our manufacturing process compliant and could incur fines or penalties associated with any non-compliance, which we are unable to quantify at this time but which could be material. Any such event could cause our product costs to significantly increase, thus reducing our margins and harming our ability to compete effectively which would harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 required us to change or supplement some of our corporate governance and securities disclosure and compliance practices. The Securities and Exchange Commission and NASDAQ have revised, and continue to revise, their regulations and listing standards. These developments have increased, and may continue to increase, our legal compliance and financial reporting costs. For example, internal direct costs relating to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance during 2004 were approximately $750,000. During 2005, these costs were approximately $500,000.

These developments may also make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. This, in turn, could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified member of our board of directors, or qualified executive officers.  

Failure to comply with present or future laws, rules and regulations of any kind that govern our business could result in suspension of all or a portion of production, cessation of all or a portion of our operations, or the imposition of significant administrative, civil, or criminal penalties, any of which could harm our business.

We have identified material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting, which, if not remedied effectively, could prevent us from reporting our financial results on a timely and accurate basis and result in a decrease in the trading price of our common stock and otherwise seriously harm our business.  

Management through, in part, the documentation, testing and assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to the rules promulgated by the SEC under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Item 308 of Regulation S-K, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting had material weaknesses as of December 31, 2005. We have taken certain actions to begin to address those material weaknesses, but as of December 31, 2006 had not yet completed our remediation efforts.

If we fail to complete our remediation or if we complete the remediation but fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment could prevent us from reporting our financial results on a timely and accurate basis or cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information. These effects could in turn result in a decrease in the trading price of our common stock.

Prior to the remediation of these material weaknesses, there remains risk that the transitional controls on which we currently rely will fail to be sufficiently effective, which could result in a material misstatement of our financial position or results of operations and require a restatement. If this were to occur, investors may not be able to rely on the financial statements contained in this prospectus. In addition, even if we are successful in strengthening our controls and procedures, such controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or facilitate the fair presentation of our financial statements or SEC reporting.
 
Costs related to our compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act have been significant and may continue to negatively impact our cash flow and results of operations.

Our efforts to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related regulations regarding our required assessment of our internal control over financial reporting and our independent registered public accounting firm’s audit of that assessment has required the commitment of significant financial and managerial resources. Our compliance efforts have resulted in, and are likely to continue to result in, increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. During 2004 and 2005, internal direct costs relating to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance were approximately $750,000 and $500,000, respectively. If compliance costs continue our cash flows and results of operations will likely continue to be negatively impacted.

 We may underutilize our manufacturing facilities or we may have inadequate facilities to meet the demand for our products.  

Currently, we are underutilzing our manufacturing facility in Glen Rose, Texas because of sluggish sales in the state. If demand for our products does not increase, we will continue to incur fixed expenses and if the facility remains underutilized our revenues and margins will decrease which could harm our ability to fund operations and service our debt, and may result in an asset impairment charge. We may, in the future, underutilize our other manufacturing facilities from time to time for similar reasons and with similar results. Conversely, there may be situations in the future in which our manufacturing facilities will be inadequate to meet the demand for our products. Our inability to generate sufficient manufacturing capacities to meet future demand, either through our own facilities or through outsourcing to third parties, could result in our inability to fulfill orders or require us to turn down orders which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.  

Our assembly line process requires a significant number of manufacturing employees, many of whom are employed at relatively low wages. In periods of low unemployment, we have experienced difficulty in finding suitable replacements for our workforce when turnover occurs.
 
5

 
Our inability to hire and retain sufficient numbers of manufacturing employees at any of our operating facilities could result in our inability to fulfill orders or require us to turn down orders which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.  

Our share price could be subject to extreme price fluctuations, and stockholders could have difficulty trading shares.

The market price for our common stock has been and may continue to be subject to significant price fluctuations.

Price fluctuations could be in response to operating results, announcements of technological innovations, changes in legislative and educational policies and general market conditions. Additionally, the stock market in recent years has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that often have been unrelated to the operating performance of individual companies. These market fluctuations, as well as general economic conditions, may adversely affect the price of our common stock.
 
In the past, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against a company following periods of volatility in the company’s stock price. This type of litigation, if filed against us, could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources.  

In addition, the future sale of a substantial number of shares of common stock by us or by our existing stockholders, including the selling stockholders, may have an adverse impact on the market price of the shares of common stock. There can be no assurance that the trading price of our common stock will remain at or near its current level.

We have acquired and may continue to acquire other companies and may be unable to successfully integrate these companies into our operations.

In the past, we have expanded our operations through strategic acquisitions, and we may continue to expand and diversify our operations with additional acquisitions. We may not realize the anticipated benefit from any of the transactions we pursue. Regardless of whether we consummate any such transaction, the negotiation of a potential transaction as well as the integration of the acquired business could require us to incur significant costs and cause diversion of management’s time and resources. Any such transaction could also result in impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, write-offs and other related expenses. If we are unsuccessful in integrating these companies into our operations or if integration is more difficult than anticipated our business, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed. Some of the risks that may affect our ability to integrate acquired companies include those associated with:  

 
 
unexpected losses of key employees or customers of the acquired company;
 
 
 
conforming the acquired company’s standards, processes, procedures and controls with our operations;
  
 
 
coordinating new product and process development;
 
 
 
hiring additional management and other critical personnel; and
 
 
 
increasing the scope, geographic diversity and complexity of our operations.
 
 Earthquakes or other natural disasters may cause us significant losses.  

Our corporate headquarters, certain of our manufacturing facilities and certain other critical business operations are located near major earthquake fault lines. We do not maintain earthquake insurance and could be harmed in the event of a major earthquake. We maintain some business interruption insurance to help reduce the effect of such business interruptions, but we are not fully insured against such risks.

Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law may make an acquisition of us, which may be beneficial to our stockholders, more difficult.

We are incorporated in Delaware. Certain anti-takeover provisions of Delaware law and our charter documents as currently in effect may make a change in control of our company more difficult, even if a change in control would be beneficial to the stockholders.

Our board of directors has the authority to issue an additional 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to determine the terms of those shares of stock without any further action by the stockholders. The rights of holders of our common stock are subject to the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued. The issuance of preferred stock could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting stock. Delaware law also prohibits corporations from engaging in a business combination with any holders of 15% or more of their capital stock until the holder has held the stock for three years unless, among other possibilities, the board of directors approves the transaction. Our board of directors may use these provisions to prevent changes in the management and control of our company. Also, under applicable Delaware law, our board of directors may adopt additional anti-takeover measures in the future.

 
This prospectus contains statements which, to the extent that they are not recitations of historical fact 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. These risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, including the risks outlined under “Risk Factors,” may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from future results, levels of actual activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such 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 prospectus, including “Risk Factors,” describe factors, among others, that could contribute to or cause such differences.  
The accuracy of such forward looking statements may be impacted by a number of business risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated, including but not limited to: the ability to adequately pass through to customers unanticipated future increases in raw material costs; an unanticipated change in the types of classrooms required by school districts; and declines in available funding for modular classroom construction and other risks and uncertainties that are described in the “Risk Factors” section hereof. 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. We will not update these forward-looking statements, even though our situation may change in the future. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.
 
USE OF PROCEEDS 

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares offered and sold for the account of the selling stockholder.  
 
The selling stockholder will not pay any of the expenses that are incurred in connection with the registration of the shares, but the selling stockholder will pay all commissions, discounts and any other compensation to any securities broker dealers through whom it sells any of the shares.  
 
SELLING STOCKHOLDER
 
Pursuant to an Exchange of Senior Subordinated Secured Convertible Notes term sheet, on May 4, 2006 we issued 189,189 additional shares of our common stock to Amphora Limited in consideration of it converting $8,333,333 of the principal amount of a $25.9 million convertible note into 1,065,643 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $7.82 per share. The principal amount converted would otherwise have been subject to repurchase by us at the note holder's option on August 31, 2006. The 189,189 shares were issued in consideration of the note holder converting the principal amount prior to and in lieu of the August 31, 2006 repurchase. The note, which was originally issued on December 30, 2004, was exchanged for a replacement note reflecting the reduced principal amount. The replacement note was paid off at a discount on November 1, 2006.

The conversion took place in two steps with $5,699,998 of the principal balance being converted into 728,900 shares on May 4, 2006 and $2,633,335 of the principal balance being converted into 336,743 shares on July 19, 2006. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement we entered into with Amphora Limited when the note was originally issued, the 1,065,643 shares issued in connection with the partial conversion had been registered for resale. The resale of the 189,189 shares issued on May 4, 2006 was not covered by the existing registration statement.
 
In connection with the repayment of the convertible note at a discount on November 1, 2006 as described below, we entered into a registration rights agreement with Amphora Limited pursuant to which we agreed to register for resale from time to time the 189,189 shares. We agreed to file the registration statement within 90 days of October 31, 2006 to avoid penalties as detailed in the agreement. The resale of the shares is covered by the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
 
The convertible note bore interest at 7% per annum which was payable quarterly. The principal balance was due December 31, 2009. The conversion price, which was subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments, was originally $8.70 per share. This was equal to 115% of the arithmetic average of the volume weighted average price of our common stock on the five trading days following the December 30, 2004 original issuance of the note. In connection with the original issuance of the note, we also issued Amphora Limited warrants to purchase 229, 886 shares of our common stock. The warrants, are exercisable at any time for 60 months after the date of issuance. The exercise price of the warrants, which is subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments, was also originally $8.70 per share.
 
On August 5, 2005, pursuant to a Consent, Waiver and Exchange Agreement, we amended and restated the note to increase the principal amount from $25 million to $25.9 million to cover amounts owed under our registration rights agreement with Amphora Limited for failing to have a registration statement covering the shares issuable upon conversion of the note and exercise of the warrant held by the note holder declared effective in a timely manner. In connection with the amendment to the note, we also issued a new warrant to Amphora Limited exercisable for an additional 8,276 shares of common stock.

The conversion price of the note and the exercise price of both the warrants were reduced from the initial $8.70 per share to $8.57 and $8.56 per share, respectively, due to an adjustment pursuant to customary anti-dilution provisions resulting from our $11.6 million equity private placement on August 5, 2005. Further reductions in price were not permitted, notwithstanding the mechanics of the anti-dilution provisions, without stockholder approval. Such approval was obtained at a stockholders' meeting on January 3, 2006 and the conversion price and exercise price were further reduced as a result of the August 5, 2005 transaction to $7.82 per share.
 
On November 1, 2006, the $25.9 million note was partially converted at $7.82 per share and the balance of the note was paid off at a discount pursuant to a Conversion and Repurchase Agreement. The issuance of a convertible note and warrants to a third party on October 31, 2006 reduced the exercise price of the warrants issued to the selling stockholder in connection with the $25.9 million note to $7.69 per share. The conversion price of the October 31, 2006 convertible note was reduced on December 28, 2006. This resulted in the exercise price of the warrants issued in connection with the $25.9 million convertible note being reduced to its current level of $7.44 per share. The reductions in the exercise price of the warrants increased the number of shares for which they could be exercised to a total of 278,496 shares. Amphora no longer owns these warrants. The warrants are presently owned by Crestview Capital Master LLC (142,033 shares), Charles C. McGettigan (54,585 shares), Myron A. Wick III (54,585 shares) and Dennis L. Shogren (27,293 shares). Messrs. McGettigan, Wick and Shogren are members of our board of directors and Mr. Shogren is also our chief executive officer. Crestview Capital Master LLC is an investment fund that is unaffiliated with our company and our officers and directors.
The table below lists the selling stockholder and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholder.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholder, or its pledgees, donees, transferees, or any of its successors in interest selling shares received from the selling stockholder as a gift, partnership distribution or other non-sale-related transfer after the date of this prospectus (all of whom may be a selling stockholder), may sell the securities from time to time on any stock exchange or automated interdealer quotation system on which the securities are listed, in the over-the-counter market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, at fixed prices that may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at prices otherwise negotiated. The selling stockholder may sell the securities by one or more of the following methods, without limitation:

 
 
block trades in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
 
 
purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by the broker or dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;
  
 
 
an exchange transaction in accordance with the rules of any stock exchange on which the securities are listed;
  
 
 
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchases;
 
 
 
privately negotiated transactions;
 
 
 
short sales;
 
 
 
through the writing of options on the securities, whether or not the options are listed on an options exchange;
  
 
 
through the distribution of the securities by the selling stockholder to its partners, members or stockholders;
  
 
 
one or more underwritten offerings on a firm commitment or best efforts basis;
 
 
 
any combination of any of these methods of sale; and
 
 
 
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
 
 The selling stockholder may also transfer by gift. We do not know of any arrangements by the selling stockholder for the sale of any of the securities. Modtech does not intend to use any means of distributing or delivering this prospectus other than by hand or by the mails. The selling stockholder has indicated that it may deliver a prospectus in electronic form to an executing broker acting on behalf in connection with the sale of registered shares. To the knowledge of Modtech and the selling stockholder, executing brokers generally deliver “hard copies” of a prospectus when fulfilling their delivery requirements. However, such executing brokers may rely on other means of delivery to their customers who have agreed to accept delivery through such other means (for example, by electronic delivery).

To our knowledge based upon inquiry, it is not the intention of the selling stockholder to deliver a prospectus in electronic form that will contain additional video, audio or graphic presentations that would not be available in a printed copy of the prospectus.  

The selling stockholder may engage brokers and dealers, and any brokers or dealers may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate in effecting sales of the securities. These brokers, dealers or underwriters may act as principals, or as agents of the selling stockholder. Broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of the securities at a stipulated price per security. If the broker-dealer is unable to sell securities acting as agent for a selling stockholder, it may purchase as principal any unsold securities at the stipulated price.

Broker-dealers who acquire securities as principals may thereafter resell the securities from time to time in transactions in any stock exchange or automated interdealer quotation system on which the securities are then listed, at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the then-current  market price or in negotiated transactions. If the selling stockholder enters into an agreement following the effectiveness of this registration statement to sell its shares to a broker-dealer as principal and the broker-dealer is acting as an underwriter, we will file a post-effective amendment to this registration statement identifying the broker-dealer, providing the required information on the plan of distribution, revising disclosures in the registration statement as appropriate, and filing the agreement as an exhibit to the registration statement. Broker-dealers may use block transactions and sales to and through broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above.

The selling stockholder may also sell the securities in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, rather than pursuant to this prospectus, regardless of whether the securities are covered by this prospectus.

From time to time, the selling stockholder may pledge, hypothecate or grant a security interest in some or all of the securities owned by it. The pledgees, secured parties or persons to whom the securities have been hypothecated will, upon foreclosure in the event of default, be deemed to be a selling stockholder. As and when the selling stockholder takes such actions, the number of securities offered under this prospectus on behalf of the selling stockholder will decrease. The plan of distribution for the selling stockholder’s securities will otherwise remain unchanged. In addition, the selling stockholder may, from time to time, sell the securities short, and, in those instances, this prospectus may be delivered in connection with the short sales and the securities offered under this prospectus may be used to cover short sales.

To the extent required under the Securities Act of 1933, the aggregate amount of the selling stockholder's securities being offered and the terms of the offering, the names of any agents, brokers, dealers or underwriters and any applicable commission with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement. Any underwriters, dealers, brokers or agents participating in the distribution of the securities may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions, commissions or fees from the selling stockholder and/or purchasers of the selling stockholder's securities of securities, for whom they may act (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary commissions).  

The selling stockholder and any underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, and any discounts, concessions, commissions or fees received by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions.

The selling stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers and the broker-dealers may engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume with that the selling stockholder, including, without limitation, in connection with distributions of the securities by those broker-dealers. The selling stockholder may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales.

The selling stockholder may enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers that involve the delivery of the securities offered hereby to the broker-dealers, who may then resell or otherwise transfer those securities.

The selling stockholder may also loan or pledge the securities offered hereby to a broker-dealer and the broker-dealer may sell the securities offered hereby so loaned or upon a default may sell or otherwise transfer the pledged securities offered hereby.

Sales (including short sales) of our common stock and the other hedging and market activities described above could have the effect of depressing the market value of our common stock, and any of the activities described above may affect the market price or volatility of our common stock. If commenced, these activities may be discontinued at any time.  

The selling stockholder and other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the securities will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M. This regulation may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the securities by the selling stockholder and any other person. The anti-manipulation rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to sales of securities in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholder and its affiliates. Furthermore, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the securities to engage in market-making activities with respect to the particular securities being distributed for a period of up to five business days before the distribution. These restrictions may affect the marketability of the securities and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the securities.

We have agreed to indemnify in certain circumstances the selling stockholder and any brokers, dealers and agents who may be deemed to be underwriters, if any, of the securities covered by the registration statement, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933. The selling stockholder has agreed to indemnify us in certain circumstances against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.

The securities offered hereby were originally issued to the selling stockholder pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We agreed to register the resale of the securities under the Securities Act of 1933, and to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part effective until the date on which the selling stockholder may sell all of the securities without restriction pursuant to Rule 144(k) or have sold all of the securities. We have agreed to pay all expenses in connection with this offering, including the fees and expenses of counsel or other advisors to the selling stockholder, but not including underwriting discounts, concessions, commissions or fees of the selling stockholder.  

We will not receive any proceeds from sales of any securities by the selling stockholder.  We cannot assure you that the selling stockholder will sell all or any portion of the securities offered hereby.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS  

Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Registrant; the Bylaws of the Registrant; Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; which, among other things, and subject to certain conditions, authorize the Registrant to indemnify, or indemnify by their terms, as the case may be, the directors and officers of the Registrant against certain liabilities and expenses incurred by such persons in connection with claims made by reason of their being such a director or officer. Pursuant to this authority, the Registrant has entered into an indemnification agreement with each director and executive officer, whereby the Registrant has agreed to cover the indemnification obligations.  

The Registrant maintains directors’ and officers’ insurance providing indemnification against certain liabilities for certain of the Registrant’s directors, officers, affiliates, partners or employees.  

The indemnification provisions in the Registrant’s Bylaws, and the indemnification agreements entered into between the Registrant and its directors and executive officers, may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the Registrant’s officers and directors for liabilities arising under the Act.

Reference is made to the following documents incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement regarding relevant indemnification provisions described above and elsewhere herein: (1) Certificate of Incorporation, filed as Exhibit 3.1 to Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on October 27, 1998; (2) the Registrant’s Bylaws filed as Exhibit 3.2 to Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 15, 2004; and (3) the form of Indemnification Agreement entered into by the Registrant with each of its directors and executive officers filed as an exhibit to Modtech, Inc.’s (the predecessor of Registrant) Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on June 6, 1990, each incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS  

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 15 or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.  

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made pursuant to this registration statement: (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; (iii) to include any material information with respect to the distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.  

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

The undersigned Registrant undertakes that: (1) for purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of the registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the time it was declared effective; and (2) for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We hereby request that the effectiveness of the above-referenced Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, be accelerated to Thursday, April 26, 2007, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, or as soon thereafter as practicable.

We acknowledge that:

·  
should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;
·  
the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and
·  
the company may not assert staff comments and the declaration of effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
 
Sincerely,


Kenneth S. Cragun
Chief Financial Officer
