Options to purchase 198,000 shares of common stock were outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, and options to purchase 1,101,000 and 1,088,000 shares of common stock were outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share because the option exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares and therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive.

4) Debt

The credit facility contains various covenants. The Company was in compliance with such covenants as of September 30, 2003.

5) Goodwill

The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” as of January 1, 2002. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, quoted market prices in active markets are the best evidence of fair value and shall be used as the basis for measurement, if available. The Company used quoted market prices to perform the assessment of whether there was an indication that goodwill may be impaired. As a result of this assessment, there was an indication that goodwill was impaired. As required by SFAS No. 142, the Company performed a fair market valuation analysis, using market multiples, and other factors, on its business that had previously recorded goodwill. As a result of this analysis, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $37,288,000

7

during the three months ended March 31, 2002. The impairment loss was recognized as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the Company’s 2002 consolidated statement of operations. There was no impairment of goodwill during the three months or nine months ended September 30, 2003.

6) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (SFAS 143). SFAS 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The adoption of SFAS 143 in 2003 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145 “Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections” (SFAS 145). This statement eliminates the automatic classification of gain or loss on extinguishment of debt as an extraordinary item of income and requires that such gain or loss be evaluated for extraordinary classification under the criteria of Accounting Principles Board No. 30 “Reporting Results of Operations – Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions”. This statement also requires sale-leaseback accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions, and makes various other technical corrections to existing pronouncements. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 145 for the year ending December 31, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 145 in 2003 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (SFAS 146). SFAS 146 requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Examples of such costs covered by the standard include lease termination costs and certain employee severance costs that are associated with a restructuring, discontinued operations, plant closings or other exit or disposal activities. SFAS 146 is effective prospectively for exit and disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002, with earlier application encouraged. The adoption of SFAS 146 in 2003 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (Interpretation 45), an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34. Interpretation 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of Interpretation 45 are effective on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements of Interpretation 45 effective December 31, 2002 and has not entered into any guarantees since December 31, 2002.

On December 31, 2002 the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure,” which amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. “ SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 123 for stock-based compensation for annual periods ending after December 15, 2002 and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002, including those companies that continue to recognize stock-based compensation under APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. “ In addition, SFAS No. 148 provides three alternative transition methods for companies that choose to adopt the fair value measurement provisions of SFAS No. 123. The Company has not determined whether it will adopt the fair value measure provisions of SFAS No. 123 but has adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 as of December 31, 2002.

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS No. 149), which amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” The provisions of SFAS No. 149 are generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and are to be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

8

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity” (SFAS No. 150), which establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 requires an issuer to classify certain instruments as liabilities (or assets in some circumstances) which may have previously been classified as equity. This statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The provisions of SFAS No. 150 are to be implemented by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle for financial instruments created before the issuance date of the statement and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.

7) Stock Options Plans

The Company accounts for stock option plans in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. As such, compensation expense would be recognized on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. On January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” which permits entities to recognize as expense over the vesting period the fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 also allows entities to continue to apply the intrinsic method provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide pro forma net income (loss) and pro forma earnings (loss) per share disclosures for employee stock option grants made in 1995 and future years as if the fair-value-based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The Company has elected to continue to apply the provision of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, as amended. The following pro forma disclosures are provided as required by SFAS No. 148 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2003.

There were no stock options granted during the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2003. The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2003 were $4.81 and $5.00, respectively. The fair value of stock options on the date of grant were estimated using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

	Three Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2002	2003	2002		2003
Expected dividend yield	n/a	n/a	0	%	0	%
Average risk-free interest rate	n/a	n/a	3.8	%	2.6	%
Volatility factor	n/a	n/a	66.61	%	65.54	%
Expected life	n/a	n/a	4 years		4 years

9

The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its stock option plans and no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock options in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock options under SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2002		2003		2002			2003
Net income (loss)
As reported	$	3,321,000	$	2,191,000	$	(29,926,000	)	$	4,699,000
Pro forma		3,111,000		1,989,000		(30,346,000	)		4,322,000
Basic earnings (loss) per share

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

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,” “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.

Results of Operations

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

	Percent of Net Sales				Percent of Net Sales
	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2002		2003		2002		2003
Net sales	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%
Gross profit	15.2		11.8		14.9		11.0
Selling, general and administrative expenses	3.3		3.6		4.1		4.2
Covenant amortization	0.1		—		0.2		0.1
Income from operations	11.8		8.2		10.6		6.7
Interest expense, net	(0.8	)	(0.8	)	(1.0	)	(0.8	)
Income before income taxes and cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle	11.1		7.4		9.6		5.9
Income taxes	4.6		3.1		4.0		2.5
Income before cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle	6.4		4.3		5.6		3.4

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2003, decreased by $1,070,000 or 2.1% while net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 increased by $4,999,000 or 3.8%, when compared to the same periods in 2002. Compared to the same periods in the prior year, sales of California classrooms increased by 6.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and by 9.0% for the nine months then ended. California classroom sales increased due to the funding of classroom size reduction initiatives previously approved by California voters. Sales of commercial and industrial buildings decreased by 15.1% and 5.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2002. The continued economic downturn in markets served by Modtech’s commercial and industrial products is reflected in the decreased sales for these buildings.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 decreased to 11.8% and 11.0%, respectively, from 15.2% and 14.9%, for the same periods in 2002. The decline in gross profit as a percent of sales was due largely to competitive pressures in the markets Modtech serves. The company also experienced higher expenses associated with plant expansion and start-up in Florida as well as higher labor costs in California.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 by $145,000 or 8.5% and $426,000 or 8.0%, respectively. Although timing differences for certain expenses caused SG&A expenses to increase in a period when sales declined slightly from the prior year, the increase in year-to-date SG&A expenses was in line with the year-to-date increase of sales.

Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company recognized an impairment charge relating to goodwill of $37,288,000, which was recognized as a cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle in the three month period ended March 31, 2002. No additional impairment was recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 or the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The Company continues to amortize its covenants not to compete over their respective useful lives.

Net interest expense decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 by $10,000 or 2.5% and $174,000 or 13.8%, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2002. The decrease is attributable to lower long-term debt due to repayments and decreased interest rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003.

Income before income taxes and cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 decreased by $1,949,000, or 34.0% and $4,592,000 or 36.2%, respectively. The decrease in income before income taxes and cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle was primarily due to the decrease in gross profit discussed above.

Income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 decreased by $819,000, or 34.1% and $1,928,000 or 36.2%, respectively. The decrease in income taxes was a direct result of the lower gross profit and resultant lower income before income taxes and cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle.

Inflation

In the past, the Company has not been adversely affected by inflation, because it has been generally able to pass along to its customers increases in the costs of labor and materials.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To date, the Company has generated cash from operations, bank borrowings and public offerings to meet its needs. At September 30, 2003, the Company had $1,962,000 in cash and cash equivalents. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Company generated cash from operating activities of $10,806,000.

The Company has a $66,000,000 credit facility, of which $40,000,000 represents a revolving loan commitment. The credit facility is secured by all the Company’s assets, as well as the Company’s stock ownership in its subsidiaries. The credit facility expires in December 2006. On September 30, 2003, $9,200,000 was outstanding under the revolving loan commitment. The credit facility contains various covenants. The Company was in compliance with such covenants as of September 30, 2003.

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 is able to expand 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.

Use of Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies

In December 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requested that all registrants list their most “critical accounting policies” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The SEC indicated that a “critical accounting policy” is one which is both important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and requires management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. 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 at the date of the financial statements, assessments of historical collection trends, and an evaluation of the impact of current economic conditions.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from certain contracts is 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 completed. 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. Revenue recognized not using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting is recognized based on transfer of title.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“Interpretation 46”), an interpretation of ARB No. 51. Interpretation 46 addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities. Interpretation 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. It applies in the first year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. The Company believes it has no variable interest entities to which Interpretation 46 would apply.

Item 3. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks related to fluctuation in interest rates on our $66 million credit facility. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, 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 1.75%, or the Federal funds rate plus additional interest of between 0% and 0.5%. The additional interest charge is based upon certain financial ratios. We estimate that the average amount of debt outstanding under the credit facility for 2003 will be $25 million. Therefore, a one percentage point increase in interest rates would result in an increase in interest expense of $250,000 for the year.

Item 4. Controls And Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As of September 30, 2003, the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There has been no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
