MODTECH HOLDINGS, INC. ISSUES PRELIMINARY RESULTS
FOR 2007 FOURTH-QUARTER

Company Agrees to Terms of a $6 Million Equity Financing

Perris, Calif. - January 31, 2008 - Modtech Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: MODT) announced that it anticipates reporting revenue in the range of $15 million to $16 million for its fourth-quarter ended December 31, 2007. Despite a previously announced 30% work force reduction and additional cost containment measures implemented in the fourth quarter, revenue was insufficient to allow the company to generate positive gross margins or net income for the quarter. The lower-than-expected revenue levels for the quarter were primarily the result of project delays in the California education market. Results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007 are unaudited and remain subject to further review and adjustment.

The company also announced it has agreed to the principal terms of a $6 million private sale of common stock. Certain existing institutional shareholders, the company’s board of directors and the company’s management team have committed to 75% of the financing. The company anticipates finalizing the purchase agreement by the middle of the first quarter of 2008.

Dennis Shogren, chief executive officer of Modtech, stated: “We are certainly disappointed in the outcome of the fourth quarter. However, we are encouraged by the more than $50 million in new bookings that were achieved during the period. In addition to its traditional school and dealer business, Modtech will continue to focus on upscale and multi-family residential markets, significant projects for the military and new applications within the education and commercial markets.”
