VIRCO MFG. CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

October 31, 2012

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2013. The balance sheet at January 31, 2012, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012 (“Form 10-K”). All references to the “Company” refer to Virco Mfg. Corporation and its subsidiaries.

Note 2. Seasonality

The market for educational furniture is marked by extreme seasonality, with over 50% of the Company’s total sales typically occurring from June to September each year, which is the Company’s peak season. Hence, the Company typically builds and carries significant amounts of inventory during and in anticipation of this peak summer season to facilitate the rapid delivery requirements of customers in the educational market. This requires a large up-front investment in inventory, labor, storage and related costs as inventory is built in anticipation of peak sales during the summer months. As the capital required for this build-up generally exceeds cash available from operations, the Company has historically relied on third-party bank financing to meet cash flow requirements during the build-up period immediately preceding the peak season. In addition, the Company typically is faced with a large balance of accounts receivable during the peak season. This occurs for two primary reasons. First, accounts receivable balances typically increase during the peak season as shipments of products increase. Second, many customers during this period are government institutions, which tend to pay accounts receivable more slowly than commercial customers.

The Company’s working capital requirements during and in anticipation of the peak summer season require management to make estimates and judgments that affect assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to market demand, labor costs, and stocking inventory.

Note 3. New Accounting Standards

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) – Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS”, which amends ASC 820 providing consistent guidance on fair value measurement and disclosure requirements between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” ASU 2011-05 requires the components of net income and other comprehensive income to be either presented in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, consecutive statements. While ASU 2011-05 changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current accounting guidance. This new guidance is effective for the Company beginning February 1, 2012 and requires retrospective application. As this guidance only amends the presentation of the components of comprehensive income, the adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Note 4. Inventories

Inventories primarily consist of raw materials, work in progress, and finished goods of manufactured products. In addition, the Company maintains an inventory of finished goods purchased for resale. Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market and consist of materials, labor, and overhead. The Company determines the cost of inventory by the first-in, first-out method. The value of inventory includes any related production overhead costs incurred in bringing the inventory to its present location and condition. The Company records the cost of excess capacity as a period expense, not as a component of capitalized

10

inventory valuation.

Management continually monitors production costs, material costs and inventory levels to determine that interim inventories are fairly stated.

Note 5. Debt

The Company and Virco Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Virco Inc.” and, together with the Company, the “Borrowers”) are party to a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of December 22, 2011, with PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and lender ( “PNC”). On June 15, 2012, the Borrowers entered into Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Credit Agreement which, among other things, increased the borrowing availability thereunder by $3,000,000 for the period from May 1 through July 14 of each year. On July 27, 2012, the Borrowers entered into Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to the Credit Agreement which, among other things, reduced the minimum EBITDA financial covenant contained therein for the five consecutive months ending June 2012 from $1,600,000 to $300,000. On September 12, 2012, the Borrowers entered into Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) to the Credit Agreement which, among other things, modified the minimum EBITDA covenant for the balance of the fiscal year. On December 6, 2012, the Borrowers entered into Amendment No. 4 (“Amendment No. 4”) to the Credit Agreement which, among other things, waived the violation of the minimum EBITDA and minimum tangible net worth covenants at October 31, 2012 and eliminated the minimum EBITDA covenant at November 30, 2012.

The Credit Agreement provides the Borrowers with a secured revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) of up to $60,000,000, with seasonal adjustments to the credit limit and subject to borrowing base limitations, and includes a sub-limit of up to $3,000,000 for issuances of letters of credit. The Revolving Credit Facility is an asset-based line of credit that is subject to a borrowing base limitation and generally provides for advances of up to 85% on eligible accounts receivable, plus a percentage equal to the lesser of 60% of the value of eligible inventory or 85% of the liquidation value of eligible inventory, plus an amount ranging from $6,000,000 to $12,000,000 from March 1 through July 31 of each year, minus undrawn amounts of letters of credit and reserves. The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Borrowers’ personal property and certain of the Borrowers’ real property. The principal amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement and any accrued and unpaid interest is due no later than December 22, 2014, and the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to certain prepayment penalties upon earlier termination of the Revolving Credit Facility. Prior to the maturity date, principal amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement may be repaid and reborrowed at the option of the Borrowers without premium or penalty, subject to borrowing base limitations, seasonal adjustments and certain other conditions.

The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest, at the Borrowers’ option, at either the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or the Eurodollar Currency Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for Alternate Base Rate loans is a percentage within a range of 0.75% to 1.75%, and the applicable margin for Eurodollar Currency Rate loans is a percentage within a range of 1.75% to 2.75%, in each case based on the EBITDA of the Borrowers at the end of each fiscal quarter, and may be increased at PNC’s option by 2.0% during the continuance of an event of default. Accrued interest with respect to principal amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement is payable in arrears on a monthly basis for Alternative Base Rate loans, and at the end of the applicable interest period but at most every three months for Eurodollar Currency Rate loans.

The Credit Agreement contains a covenant that forbids the Company from issuing dividends or making payments with respect to the Company’s capital stock, and contains numerous other covenants that limit under certain circumstances the ability of the Borrowers and their subsidiaries to, among other things, merge with or acquire other entities, incur new liens, incur additional indebtedness, repurchase stock, sell assets outside of the ordinary course of business, enter into transactions with affiliates, or substantially change the general nature of the business of the Borrowers, taken as a whole. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to maintain the following financial maintenance covenants: (1) a minimum tangible net worth amount, (2) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, and (3) a minimum EBITDA amount, in each case as of the end of the relevant monthly, quarterly or annual measurement period. As of October 31, 2012 the Credit Agreement required the Company to maintain: (1) a minimum tangible net worth of at least $37,007,500 for the fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2012, (2) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.10 to 1.00 for the three consecutive fiscal quarters ending October 31, 2012, and (3) a minimum EBITDA amount of $10,300,000 for the nine consecutive fiscal months ending October 31, 2012. The actual results of the Company with respect to the foregoing financial covenants for the period ending October 31, 2012 were as follows: (1) the Company maintained a tangible net worth of $36,495,000 for the fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2012, (2) the Company maintained a fixed charge coverage ratio of 9.10 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2012, and (3) the Company achieved EBITDA of $10,206,000 for the nine consecutive fiscal months ending October 31, 2012. Therefore the Company was in violation of its minimum tangible net worth and minimum EBITDA amount for the relevant period ending October 31, 2012, each of which constitutes an event of default under the Credit Agreement. On December 6, 2012 the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 (Amendment No. 4) to the Credit Agreement that waived the violation of the minimum EBITDA and minimum tangible net worth covenants at October 31, 2012 and eliminated the minimum EBITDA

11

covenant at November 30, 2012.

In addition, there is a “clean down” provision that requires the Company to reduce borrowings under the line to less than $6,000,000 for a period of 60 days each fiscal year. The Company believes that normal operating cash flow will allow it to meet the “clean down” requirement with no adverse impact on the Company's liquidity.

Events of default (subject to certain cure periods and other limitations) under the Credit Agreement include, but are not limited to, (i) non-payment of principal, interest or other amounts due under the Credit Agreement, (ii) the violation of terms, covenants, representations or warranties in the Credit Agreement or related loan documents, (iii) any event of default under agreements governing certain indebtedness of the Borrowers and certain defaults by the Borrowers under other agreements that would materially adversely affect the Borrowers, (iv) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation involving the Borrowers, (v) judgments or judicial actions against the Borrowers in excess of $250,000, subject to certain conditions, (vi) the failure of the Company to comply with Pension Benefit Plans (as defined in the Credit Agreement), (vii) the invalidity of loan documents pertaining to the Credit Agreement, (viii) a change of control of the Borrowers and (ix) the interruption of operations of any of the Borrowers' manufacturing facilities for five consecutive days during the peak season or fifteen consecutive days during any other time, subject to certain conditions.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, substantially all of the Borrowers' accounts receivable are automatically and promptly swept to repay amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility upon receipt by the Borrowers. Due to this automatic liquidating nature of the Revolving Credit Facility, if the Borrowers breach any covenant, violate any representation or warranty or suffer a deterioration in their ability to borrow pursuant to the borrowing base calculation, the Borrowers may not have access to cash liquidity unless provided by PNC at its discretion. In addition, certain of the covenants and representations and warranties set forth in the Credit Agreement contain limited or no materiality thresholds, and many of the representations and warranties must be true and correct in all material respects upon each borrowing, which the Borrowers expect to occur on an ongoing basis. There can be no assurance that the Borrowers will be able to comply with all such covenants and be able to continue to make such representations and warranties on an ongoing basis.

At October 31, 2012, availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was $11,757,000. Management believes that the carrying value of debt approximated fair value at October 31, 2012, as all of the long-term debt bears interest at variable rates based on prevailing market conditions.

The descriptions set forth herein of the Credit Agreement, Amendment No. 1, Amendment No.2, Amendment No. 3 and Amendment No. 4 are qualified in their entirety by the terms of such agreements, each of which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).

Note 6. Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred income taxes under the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of ASC No. 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities at enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income or reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Based on this consideration, the Company determined the realization of a majority of the net deferred tax assets no longer met the more likely than not criteria and a valuation allowance was recorded against the majority of the net deferred tax assets at October 31, 2012. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended October 31, 2012 was impacted by the valuation allowance recognized against state deferred tax assets and discrete items associated with non-taxable permanent differences.

The Company is currently under IRS examination for its tax return for the year ended January 31, 2011. The years ended January 31, 2010 and January 31, 2012 remain open for examination by the IRS. The years ended January 31, 2008 through January 31, 2012 remain open for examination by state tax authorities. The Company is not currently under state examination.

The specific timing of when the resolution of each tax position will be reached is uncertain. As of October 31, 2012, we do not believe that there are any positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months.

Certain exercisable and non-exercisable stock options were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share at October 31, 2011, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. The number of stock options outstanding, which met this anti-dilutive criterion for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2011, was 33,000 and 55,000 respectively.

Note 8. Stock Based Compensation

Stock Incentive Plans

The Company’s two stock plans are the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) and the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”). Under the 2011 Plan, the Company may grant an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares to its employees and non-employee directors in the form of stock options or awards. The 2007 Plan similarly allows for the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares. As of October 31, 2012, only 448,750 and 13,075 shares remained available for issuance under the 2011 Plan and 2007 Plan, respectively. Restricted stock or stock units awarded under both Plans are expensed ratably over the vesting period of the awards. The Company determines the fair value of its restricted stock unit awards and related compensation expense as the difference between the market value of the awards on the date of grant less the exercise price of the awards granted.

There were no unexercised options outstanding under the 2011 Plan or the 2007 Plan at October 31, 2012. Stock options awarded to employees under the both Plans have to be at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Stock options generally have a maximum term of 10 years and generally become exercisable ratably over a five-year period.

The shares of common stock issued upon exercise of a previously granted stock option are considered new issuances from shares reserved for issuance upon adoption of the various plans. While the Company does not have a formal written policy detailing such issuance, it requires that the option holders provide a written notice of exercise to the stock plan administrator and payment for the shares prior to issuance of the shares.

Stockholders’ Rights

On October 15, 1996, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of one preferred stock purchase right (the “Rights”) for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock. Each of the Rights entitles a stockholder to purchase for an exercise price of $50.00 ($20.70, as adjusted for stock splits and stock dividends), subject to adjustment, one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Company, or under certain circumstances, shares of common stock of the Company or a successor company with a market value equal to two times the exercise price. The Rights are not exercisable, and would only become exercisable for all other persons when any person has acquired or commences to acquire a beneficial interest of at least 20% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Rights have no voting privileges, and may be redeemed by the Board of Directors at a price of $.001 per Right at any time prior to the acquisition of a beneficial ownership of 20% of the outstanding common stock. There are 200,000 shares (483,153 shares as adjusted by stock splits and stock dividends) of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Rights. On July 31, 2007, the Company and Mellon Investor Services LLC entered into an amendment to the Rights Agreement governing the Rights. The amendment, among other things, extended the term of the Rights issued under the Rights Agreement to October 25, 2016, removed the dead-hand provisions from the Rights Agreement, and formally replaced the former Rights Agent, The Chase Manhattan Bank, with its successor-in-interest, Mellon Investor Services LLC.

Note 9. Stockholders’ Equity

During the nine months ended October 31, 2012, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock. As of October 31, 2012, $1.1 million remained available for repurchases of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Company’s repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors. Pursuant to the Company’s Credit Agreement with PNC, however, the Company is prohibited from repurchasing any shares of its stock except in cases where a repurchase is financed by a substantially concurrent issuance of new shares of the Company’s common stock.

Note 10. Retirement Plans

The Company and its subsidiaries cover employees under a noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan, entitled the Virco Employees’ Retirement Plan (the “Pension Plan”). Benefits under the Employees Retirement Plan are based on years of service and career average earnings. As more fully described in the Form 10-K, benefit accruals under the Employees Retirement Plan were frozen effective December 31, 2003.

The Company also provides a supplementary retirement plan for certain key employees, the VIP Retirement Plan (the “VIP Plan”). The VIP Plan provides a benefit of up to 50% of average compensation for the last five years in the VIP Plan, offset by benefits earned under the Employees Retirement Plan. As more fully described in the Form 10-K, benefit accruals under this plan were frozen effective December 31, 2003.

The Company also provides a non-qualified plan for non-employee directors of the Company (the “Non-Employee Directors Retirement Plan”). The Non-Employee Directors Retirement Plan provides a lifetime annual retirement benefit equal to the director’s annual retainer fee for the fiscal year in which the director terminates his or her position with the Board, subject to the director providing 10 years of service to the Company. As more fully described in the Form 10-K, benefit accruals under this plan were frozen effective December 31, 2003.

Note 11. Warranty Accrual

The Company accrues an estimate of its exposure to warranty claims based upon both current and historical product sales data and warranty costs incurred. The Company’s products carry a 10-year warranty. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary. The warranty liability is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The following is a summary of the Company’s warranty claim activity for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands):

Note 12. Subsequent Events

We have evaluated subsequent events to assess the need for potential recognition or disclosure in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Such events were evaluated through the date these financial statements were issued. Based upon this evaluation, it was determined that, except for the disclosure set forth below, no subsequent events occurred that required recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. On December 6, 2012 the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Credit Agreement that waived the violation of the minimum EBITDA and minimum tangible net worth covenants at October 31, 2012 and eliminated the minimum EBITDA covenant at November 30, 2012.

VIRCO MFG. CORPORATION

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

Results of Operations

The Company's order rates and results of operations for the first nine months of 2012 continue to be adversely impacted by economic conditions and the related impact on tax receipts and budgeted expenditures for public schools. Uncertainty related to the recent presidential and congressional election, proposed state and local tax legislation, structural budget challenges, and a “fiscal cliff” has coincided with a downturn in order rates. Publicly-funded entities continue to suffer serious budget challenges. Reduced tax revenues and structural spending deficits have proven difficult to correct, with the result that many of our largest and most stable public school customers have been forced to reduce their day-to-day expenditures for replacement furniture. In addition to challenged operating budgets at schools, completions of bond funded projects have declined.

Order rates for the three month period ended October 31, 2012 declined by 11% compared to the same period last year. However, because the third quarter is a relatively slow period compared to our seasonally higher first and second quarters, and because order rates for six months ended July 31, 2012 were flat compared to the same period last year, order rates for the first nine months of 2012 only declined by 2.6% compared to the same period last year. We are cautiously hopeful that the decline in third quarter order activity reflects uncertainty related to the election and the “fiscal cliff” rather than continued budgetary constraints placed on our publicly funded schools.

As previously discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K dated January 31, 2012 (the “Form 10-K") and in prior quarterly reports, in the prior year the Company executed a restructuring plan, featuring a voluntary early retirement program. Approximately 150 employees accepted the offer, and coupled with attrition, the Company reduced its employee count by approximately 20% from 1,045 at February 1, 2011 to 825 at February 1, 2012. As part of the restructuring the Company pursued a strategy of more aggressive utilization of temporary labor during the seasonally busy summer months supported by a smaller permanent workforce. We have now concluded our first summer delivery season utilizing this new model. Spending for the first nine months of 2012 is approximately $7.7 million less than the same period last year and the Company continued to provide quality product and excellent service to our customers. In addition, we did this with reduced levels of inventory.

For the three months ended October 31, 2012, the Company earned a pre-tax profit of $2,757,000 on net sales of $56,642,000 compared to a pre-tax loss of $3,124,000 on net sales of $53,074,000 in the same period last year. These changes are due to the increase in net sales, increase in gross margin and decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as described below.

Net sales for the three months ended October 31, 2012 increased by $3,568,000, a 6.7% increase, compared to the same period last year. This increase was the result of a modest increase in selling prices, combined with a small increase in unit volume. Incoming orders for the same period declined by approximately 11% compared to the prior year. Backlog at October 31, 2012 decreased by $7.3 million compared to the prior year.

Gross margin as a percentage of sales was 34.1% for the three months ended October 31, 2012 compared to 30.2% in the same period last year. The gross margin was favorably affected by a modest increase in selling prices and a reduction in factory spending related to prior year restructuring. Factory production rates for the quarter ended October 31, 2012 increased by nearly 2% compared to the prior year. When coupled with reduced levels of spending achieved by the prior year restructuring, manufacturing overhead decreased as a percentage of sales by more than 3%. Raw material costs were stable for the period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2012, decreased by approximately $2,701,000 compared to the same period last year. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was attributable to $3,901,000 of expenses related to the prior year voluntary retirement program offset by increased variable freight costs, increased variable selling costs, and an increase in retirement plan expense. Interest expense increased modestly due to increased effective borrowing rates and bad debt declined modestly due to a reduced provision related to a bankruptcy.

For the nine months ended October 31, 2012, the Company earned a pre-tax profit of $5,199,000 on net sales of $140,702,000 compared to a pre-tax loss of $5,721,000 on net sales of $140,147,000 in the same period last year.

16

Net sales for the nine months ended October 31, 2012 increased by $555,000, a 0.4% increase, compared to the same period last year. This increase was the result of an increase in selling prices, combined with a reduction in unit volume. Unit volume declined largely as a result of general economic conditions, which negatively impacted tax receipts and the funded status of public schools. Incoming orders for the same period decreased by approximately 2.6% compared to the prior year.

Gross margin as a percentage of sales improved to 34.9% for the nine months ended October 31, 2012 compared to 30.5% in the same period last year. The improvement in gross margin was attributable to an increase in selling prices and reduced factory spending. Factory production rates for the nine months ended October 31, 2012 decreased by nearly 3% compared to the prior year primarily due to the decline in order rates during the quarter. Although production levels dropped, reduced levels of spending achieved by the prior year restructuring resulted in manufacturing overhead decreasing as a percentage of sales by more than 3%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended October 31, 2012 decreased by approximately $4,677,000 compared to the same period last year. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to the $3,901,000 of expenses related to the voluntary retirement program incurred in the prior year. Other reductions are attributable to the prior year restructuring, offset by increased freight expense, increased variable selling expense, and increased retirement plan expense.Interest expense increased modestly due to increased effective borrowing rates and bad debt declined modestly due to a reduced provision related to a bankruptcy.

During the fourth quarter of 2010 the Company established a valuation allowance on the majority of deferred tax assets. Because of this valuation allowance the effective income tax expense / (benefit)  is expected to be relatively low, with income tax expense / (benefit) being primarily attributable to alternative minimum taxes combined with income and franchise taxes required by various states.

In response to the recent reduction in order rates and order backlog, the Company has taken several measures to reduce spending during the seasonally slow fourth quarter. Our permanent workforce, which numbered 825 at the beginning of the year, has been further reduced to 780. Additional measures include reduced workweeks, temporary reductions in compensation, and our traditional Holiday closures that mirror the days when schools are closed for Thanksgiving and Christmas vacations.

As we have throughout the recession and the ongoing period of economic challenge and uncertainty that has followed it, we continue to focus on ways to maintain the strength of our balance sheet and strengthen our brand. With respect to brand development, we are continuing the aggressive product development campaign that we launched eight years ago. In an effort to grow sales and increase market share, we continue to aggressively pursue all profitable business in our market and bring new products to market. The Company is accelerating efforts to increase sales to customers who purchase furniture and equipment through the General Services Administration (GSA). To supplement these efforts, we are increasing our efforts to penetrate the market for colleges and universities nationwide. The significant reduction in force in 2011 did not materially affect the size of our direct sales force, and we continue to develop and strengthen our relationships with distributors and resellers of our product.

One of our core strategies is to source as much product as possible from our own U.S. factories. During the last decade, many other manufacturers moved their operations offshore in an effort to reduce product costs. Over this same period, we elected instead to invest in automation, new products, and new service technologies rather than closing our domestic factories. We believe this approach may finally be yielding the financial performance benefits originally envisioned. Specifically, the shorter, better controlled supply chains of our own domestic factories allow us to offer a wider range of product choices with shorter lead times to support the rapidly-evolving environments of 21^st century campuses and classrooms.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Interest expense increased by approximately $208,000 for the nine months ended October 31, 2012, compared to the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to fluctuations in loan balances and higher effective interest rates under the Company's credit facility with PNC Bank.

Accounts receivable was slightly higher at October 31, 2012 than at October 31, 2011, due to increased sales. The Company traditionally builds large quantities of inventory during the first and second quarters of each fiscal year in anticipation of seasonally high summer shipments. In an effort to utilize inventory more efficiently and balance inventory with customer demand, the Company reduced inventory levels by $7,580,000 in 2011 and deferred the increase in production levels for the current year until the second quarter. As a result of these efforts the Company operated with decreased levels of inventory for the first nine months. For the balance of the current year, the Company intends to continue to aggressively control inventory

17

levels. At the end of the third quarter, inventory decreased by approximately $2,247,000 compared to January 31, 2012 and by $4,567,000 compared to October 31, 2011. The seasonal fluctuation in inventory levels (including the typically large buildup in inventory during the first and second quarters) was financed through the Company's credit facility with PNC Bank.

Borrowings under the Company's revolving line of credit with PNC Bank at October 31, 2012 decreased by approximately $9,698,000 compared to January 31, 2012 and by $3,605,000 compared to October 31, 2011, primarily due to decreased levels of inventory. The Company established a goal of limiting capital spending to less than $3,000,000 for fiscal year 2012, which is less than the Company's anticipated depreciation expense. Capital spending for the nine months ended October 31, 2012 was $1,486,000 compared to $1,689,000 for the same period last year. Capital expenditures are being financed through the Company's credit facility with PNC Bank and operating cash flow.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended October 31, 2012, was $9,571,000 compared to $3,421,000 for the same period last year. The increase in cash provided was primarily attributable to an increase in the pre-tax profit for the first nine months of 2012, and a reduction in the amount of cash generated as a result of reducing inventory levels.

The Company has historically relied upon its cash flows from operations and unused borrowing capacity with PNC Bank (which was $11,757,000 as of October 31, 2012) to fund the Company's debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital needs. As of October 31, 2012, the Company was in violation of the financial covenants in the Credit Agreement with respect to its minimum tangible net worth and minimum EBITDA amount for the relevant period ending October 31, 2012. However, on December 6, 2012 the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 (Amendment No. 4) to the Credit Agreement, which waived the violation of the minimum EBITDA and minimum tangible net worth covenants at October 31, 2012 and eliminated the minimum EBITDA covenant at November 30, 2012.

The Company believes that cash flows from operations, together with the Company's unused borrowing capacity with PNC Bank will be sufficient to fund the Company's debt service requirements, capital expenditures and working capital needs for the next twelve months.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the nine months ended October 31, 2012, there were no material changes in the Company's off balance sheet arrangements or contractual obligations and commercial commitments from those disclosed in the Company's Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company's critical accounting policies are outlined in its Form 10-K. There have been no changes in the nine months period ended October 31, 2012.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company and Virco Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Virco Inc.” and, together with the Company, the “Borrowers”) are party to a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of December 22, 2011, with PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and lender ( “PNC”). On June 15, 2012, the Borrowers entered into Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Credit Agreement which, among other things, increased

18

the borrowing availability thereunder by $3,000,000 for the period from May 1 through July 14 of each year. On July 27, 2012, the Borrowers entered into Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to the Credit Agreement which, among other things, reduced the minimum EBITDA financial covenant contained therein for the five consecutive months ending June 2012 from $1,600,000 to $300,000. On September 12, 2012 the Borrowers entered into Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) to the Credit Agreement which, among other things, modified the minimum EBITDA covenant for the balance of the fiscal year. On December 6, 2012, the Borrowers entered into Amendment No. 4 (“Amendment No. 4”) to the Credit Agreement which, among other things, waived the violation of the minimum EBITDA and minimum tangible net worth covenants at October 31, 2012 and eliminated the minimum EBITDA covenant at November 30, 2012.

The Credit Agreement provides the Borrowers with a secured revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) of up to $60,000,000, with seasonal adjustments to the credit limit and subject to borrowing base limitations, and includes a sub-limit of up to $3,000,000 for issuances of letters of credit. The Revolving Credit Facility is an asset-based line of credit that is subject to a borrowing base limitation and generally provides for advances of up to 85% on eligible accounts receivable, plus a percentage equal to the lesser of 60% of the value of eligible inventory or 85% of the liquidation value of eligible inventory, plus an amount ranging from $6,000,000 to $12,000,000 from March 1 through July 31 of each year, minus undrawn amounts of letters of credit and reserves. The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Borrowers’ personal property and certain of the Borrowers’ real property. The principal amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement and any accrued and unpaid interest is due no later than December 22, 2014, and the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to certain prepayment penalties upon earlier termination of the Revolving Credit Facility. Prior to the maturity date, principal amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement may be repaid and reborrowed at the option of the Borrowers without premium or penalty, subject to borrowing base limitations, seasonal adjustments and certain other conditions.

The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest, at the Borrowers’ option, at either the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or the Eurodollar Currency Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for Alternate Base Rate loans is a percentage within a range of 0.75% to 1.75%, and the applicable margin for Eurodollar Currency Rate loans is a percentage within a range of 1.75% to 2.75%, in each case based on the EBITDA of the Borrowers at the end of each fiscal quarter, and may be increased at PNC’s option by 2.0% during the continuance of an event of default. Accrued interest with respect to principal amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement is payable in arrears on a monthly basis for Alternative Base Rate loans, and at the end of the applicable interest period but at most every three months for Eurodollar Currency Rate loans.

The Credit Agreement contains a covenant that forbids the Company from issuing dividends or making payments with respect to the Company’s capital stock, and contains numerous other covenants that limit under certain circumstances the ability of the Borrowers and their subsidiaries to, among other things, merge with or acquire other entities, incur new liens, incur additional indebtedness, repurchase stock, sell assets outside of the ordinary course of business, enter into transactions with affiliates, or substantially change the general nature of the business of the Borrowers, taken as a whole. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to maintain the following financial maintenance covenants: (1) a minimum tangible net worth amount, (2) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, and (3) a minimum EBITDA amount, in each case as of the end of the relevant monthly, quarterly or annual measurement period. As of October 31, 2012 the Credit Agreement required the Company to maintain: (1) a minimum tangible net worth of at least $37,007,500 for the fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2012, (2) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.10 to 1.00 for the three consecutive fiscal quarters ending October 31, 2012, and (3) a minimum EBITDA amount of $10,300,000 for the nine consecutive fiscal months ending October 31, 2012. The actual results of the Company with respect to the foregoing financial covenants for the period ending October 31, 2012 were as follows: (1) the Company maintained a tangible net worth of $36,495,000 for the fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2012, (2) the Company maintained a fixed charge coverage ratio of 9.10 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2012, and (3) the Company achieved EBITDA of $10,206,000 for the nine consecutive fiscal months ending October 31, 2012. Therefore the Company was in violation of its minimum tangible net worth and minimum EBITDA amount for the relevant period ending October 31, 2012. However, as noted above, on December 6, 2012 the Company entered into Amendment No. 4, which waived the violation of the minimum EBITDA and minimum tangible net worth covenants at October 31, 2012 and eliminated the minimum EBITDA covenant at November 30, 2012.

In addition, there is a “clean down” provision that requires the Company to reduce borrowings under the line to less than $6,000,000 for a period of 60 days each fiscal year. The Company believes that normal operating cash flow will allow it to meet the “clean down” requirement with no adverse impact on the Company's liquidity.

Events of default (subject to certain cure periods and other limitations) under the Credit Agreement include, but are not limited to, (i) non-payment of principal, interest or other amounts due under the Credit Agreement, (ii) the violation of terms, covenants, representations or warranties in the Credit Agreement or related loan documents, (iii) any event of default under agreements governing certain indebtedness of the Borrowers and certain defaults by the Borrowers under other agreements that would materially adversely affect the Borrowers, (iv) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation involving the Borrowers, (v) judgments or judicial actions against the Borrowers in excess of $250,000, subject to certain conditions, (vi) the failure of the Company to comply with Pension Benefit Plans (as defined in the Credit Agreement), (vii) the invalidity of loan

19

documents pertaining to the Credit Agreement, (viii) a change of control of the Borrowers and (ix) the interruption of operations of any of the Borrowers' manufacturing facilities for five consecutive days during the peak season or fifteen consecutive days during any other time, subject to certain conditions.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, substantially all of the Borrowers' accounts receivable are automatically and promptly swept to repay amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility upon receipt by the Borrowers. Due to this automatic liquidating nature of the Revolving Credit Facility, if the Borrowers breach any covenant, violate any representation or warranty or suffer a deterioration in their ability to borrow pursuant to the borrowing base calculation, the Borrowers may not have access to cash liquidity unless provided by PNC at its discretion. In addition, certain of the covenants and representations and warranties set forth in the Credit Agreement contain limited or no materiality thresholds, and many of the representations and warranties must be true and correct in all material respects upon each borrowing, which the Borrowers expect to occur on an ongoing basis. There can be no assurance that the Borrowers will be able to comply with all such covenants and be able to continue to make such representations and warranties on an ongoing basis.

At October 31, 2012, availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was $11,757,000. Management believes that the carrying value of debt approximated fair value at October 31, 2012, as all of the long-term debt bears interest at variable rates based on prevailing market conditions.

The descriptions set forth herein of the Credit Agreement, Amendment No. 1, Amendment No.2, Amendment No. 3 and Amendment No. 4 are qualified in their entirety by the terms of such agreements, each of which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed with the Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures necessarily involves the exercise of judgment by management, and such controls and procedures, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance that management's objectives in establishing them will be achieved.

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its Principal Executive Officer along with its Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon the foregoing, the Company's Principal Executive Officer along with the Company's Principal Financial Officer concluded that, subject to the limitations noted in Part I, Item 4, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms and (ii) information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Principal Executive and Principal Financial Officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the third fiscal quarter of 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Item 5. Other Information

On December 6, 2012, Virco Mfg. Corporation (the “Company”) and Virco, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Virco,” and, together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), entered into a fourth amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of December 22, 2011, with PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and lender. The Fourth Amendment, which waived the violation of the minimum EBITDA and minimum tangible net worth covenants at October 31, 2012, further amends the Credit Agreement by, among other items, eliminating the minimum EBITDA covenant at November 30, 2012.

The description of the Fourth Amendment set forth above is qualified in its entirety by the Fourth Amendment, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this report and is incorporated by reference herein.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

VIRCO MFG. CORPORATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company has various legal actions pending against it arising in the ordinary course of business, which in the opinion of the Company, are not material in that management either expects that the Company will be successful on the merits of the pending cases or that any liabilities resulting from such cases will be substantially covered by insurance. While it is impossible to estimate with certainty the ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to these suits and claims, management believes that the aggregate amount of such liabilities will not be material to the results of operations, financial position, or cash flows of the Company.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Due to continued weak demand for education furniture, the Company was unable to satisfy the minimum tangible net worth and minimum EBITDA covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement for the relevant period ending October 31, 2012. However, on December 6, 2012 the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 (“Amendment No. 4”) to the Credit Agreement, which waived the violation of the minimum EBITDA and minimum tangible net worth covenants at October 31, 2012 and eliminated the minimum EBITDA covenant at November 30, 2012. There can be no assurance that the Company will meet the requirements of its financial covenants on an ongoing basis or that, should it again fail to meet such covenants, the Agent and Lender under its Credit Agreement will agree to waivers or amendments with respect thereto.

We operate in a seasonal business, and require significant amounts of working capital through our existing credit facility to fund acquisitions of inventory, fund expenses for freight and installation, and finance receivables during the summer delivery season. Restrictions imposed by the terms of our existing credit facility may limit our operating and financial flexibility.

Our credit facility, among other things, largely prevents us from incurring any additional indebtedness, limits capital expenditures, restricts dividends and stock repurchases, and provides for seasonal variations in the maximum borrowing amount, including a reduced maximum level of borrowing during the fourth fiscal quarter. Our credit facility also provides for monthly financial covenants, which currently include a minimum EBITDA, a minimum tangible net worth and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio requirement. As a result of the foregoing, our operation and financial flexibility may be limited, which may prevent us from engaging in transactions that might further our growth strategy or otherwise be considered beneficial to us.

Under our credit facility, substantially all of our accounts receivable are automatically and promptly swept to repay amounts outstanding under the credit facility upon our receipt. Due to this automatic liquidating nature, if we breach any covenant, violate any representation or warranty or suffer a deterioration in our ability to borrow pursuant to the borrowing base calculation contained in the credit facility, we may not have access to cash liquidity unless provided by the lender in its discretion. If the indebtedness under our credit facility were to be accelerated, we cannot be certain that we will have sufficient funds available to pay such indebtedness or that we will have the ability to refinance the accelerated indebtedness on terms favorable to us or at all. Any such acceleration could also result in a foreclosure on all or substantially all of our assets, which would have a negative impact on the value of our common stock and jeopardize our ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, certain of the covenants and representations and warranties set forth in our credit facility contain limited or no materiality thresholds, and many of the representations and warranties must be true and correct in all material respects upon each borrowing, which we expect to occur on an ongoing basis. There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with all such covenants and be able to continue to make such representations and warranties on an ongoing basis.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities; Use of Proceeds and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

On June 6, 2008, the Board of Directors approved a $3,000,000 share repurchase program. As of October 31, 2012, $1,053,000 remained available for repurchase under this program. The Company did not repurchase any shares of its stock during the third quarter of 2012. Pursuant to the Company's Credit Agreement with PNC, the Company is prohibited from repurchasing any shares of its stock except in cases where a repurchase is financed by a substantially concurrent issuance of new shares of the Company's common stock.

In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Company's Credit Agreement with PNC, the Company is prohibited from paying dividends. Consequently, for at least as long as this covenant is included in the Company's Credit Agreement, no dividends will be paid by the Company to its stockholders.

(b)Upon Agent's receipt of an executed copy of a Landlord Subordination Agreement described in clause (a) above at any time during the term of the Credit Agreement, Agent will remove the existing Landlord Reserve established by Agent under the definition of “Landlord Reserve” as set forth in the Credit Agreement for the leased premises located at 2027 Harpers Way, Torrance, California.

4.Limited Waiver. Agent and Lenders hereby waive the October Covenant Defaults. This waiver shall be narrowly construed and shall neither extend to any other violations under, or default of, the Credit Agreement, including, but not limited to, a violation of the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.5(a) or (c) of the Credit Agreement for any future period of time, nor shall this waiver prejudice any rights or remedies which Agent or any Lender may have or be entitled to with respect to such future violation or default.

5.Amendment Fee. On the date hereof, Borrowers shall pay to Agent, in addition to all other fees and charges set forth in the Credit Agreement, a non-refundable amendment fee of $15,000, which fee may be charged to the Borrowers' Account as a Revolving Advance (the “Amendment Fee”).

6.Conditions Precedent. The obligations of Agent and Lenders hereunder, and this Amendment, will be effective on the date (the “Fourth Amendment Effective Date”) of satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent, each in a manner in form and substance acceptable to Agent:

(a)Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties contained herein and in the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof as if made on the date hereof, except for such representations and warranties limited by their terms to a specific date, in which case each such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such specific date;

(c)Amendment. Borrowers shall have delivered to Agent an executed original of this Amendment;

(d)Company Proceedings of Borrowers. Agent shall have received a copy of the resolutions in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, of the Board of Directors of each Borrower authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of each Borrower as of the Fourth Amendment Date; and, such certificate shall state that the resolutions thereby certified have not been amended, modified, revoked or rescinded as of the date of such certificate;

(f)Other. All corporate and other proceedings, and all documents, instruments and other legal matters in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall be satisfactory in form and substance to Agent and its counsel.

7.Representations and Warranties. To induce Lenders and Agent to enter into this Amendment, each Borrower represents and warrants to Lenders and Agent as of the date hereof as follows:

(a)Such Borrower has full power, authority and legal right to enter into this Amendment and to perform all its respective Obligations hereunder. This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by such Borrower and the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Borrower enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally. The execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment (i) are within such Borrower's powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary company action, are not in contravention of law or the terms of such Borrower's by-laws, certificate of incorporation, or other applicable documents relating to such Borrower's formation or to the conduct of such Borrower's business or of any material agreement or undertaking to which such Borrower is a party or by which such Borrower is bound, (ii) will not conflict with or violate any law or regulation, or any judgment, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or Governmental Body, (iii) will not require the Consent of any Governmental Body or any other Person, except those Consents which will have been duly obtained, made or compiled prior to date hereof and which are in full force and effect, and (iv) will not conflict with, nor result in any breach in any of the provisions of or constitute a default under or result in the creation of any Lien except Permitted Encumbrances upon any asset of such Borrower under the provisions of any material agreement, charter document, instrument, by-law or other instrument to which such Borrower is a party or by which it or its property is a party or by which it may be bound.

(b)After giving effect to this Amendment, the representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects except to the extent any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, in which case each such representation and warranty is true and correct in all material respects as of such specific date, and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

8.Reaffirmation. Except as specifically modified by this Amendment, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms and are hereby ratified, reaffirmed and confirmed by Borrowers.

9.Events of Default. Any failure to comply with the terms of this Amendment will constitute an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement.

10.Integration. This Amendment, together with the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents, incorporates all negotiations of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and is the final expression and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

11.Severability. If any part of this Amendment is contrary to, prohibited by, or deemed invalid under Applicable Laws, such provision shall be inapplicable and deemed omitted to the extent so contrary, prohibited or invalid, but the remainder hereof shall not be invalidated thereby and shall be given effect so far as possible.

12.Submission of Amendment. The submission of this Amendment to the parties or their agents or attorneys for review or signature does not constitute a commitment by Agent or Lenders to amend or otherwise modify any of the provisions of the Credit Agreement and this Amendment shall have no binding force or effect until the Fourth Amendment Effective Date.

13.Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Amendment may be executed in any number of and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, all of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same agreement. Any signature delivered by a party by facsimile transmission shall be deemed to be an original signature hereto.

14.Governing Law. This Amendment is a Loan Document and is governed by the Applicable Law pertaining in the State of New York, other than those conflict of law provisions that would defer to the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. This governing law election has been made by the parties in reliance on, among other things, Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York, as amended (as and to the extent applicable), and other Applicable Law.

15.Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrowers, Lenders, Agent, and all future holders of the Obligations and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Amendment without the prior written consent of Agent.

16.Attorneys' Fees; Costs. Borrowers agree to promptly pay, upon written demand, all reasonable and documented attorneys' fees and costs incurred in connection with the negotiation, documentation and execution of this Amendment. If any legal action or proceeding shall be commenced at any time by any party to this Amendment in connection with its interpretation or enforcement, the prevailing party or parties in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to reimbursement of its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs in connection therewith, in addition to all other relief to which the prevailing party or parties may be entitled.

17.Jury Trial Waiver. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, each party to this Amendment hereby expressly waives any right to trial by jury of any claim, demand, action, or cause of action (a) arising under this Amendment or any other instrument, document, or agreement executed or delivered in connection herewith, or (b) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties hereto or any of them with respect to this Amendment or any other instrument, document, or agreement executed or delivered in connection herewith, or the transactions related hereto or thereto in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether sounding in contract or tort or otherwise and each party hereto hereby consents that any such claim, demand, action, or cause of action shall be decided by court trial without a jury, and that any party to this Amendment may file an original counterpart or a copy of this Section with any court as written evidence of the consents of the parties hereto to the waiver of their right to trial by jury. Without limiting the applicability of any other provision of the Credit Agreement, the terms of Article XII of the Credit Agreement shall apply to this Amendment.

18.Total Agreement. This Amendment, the Credit Agreement, and the other Loan Documents contain the entire understanding among Borrowers, Lenders and Agent and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof. Any promises, representations, warranties, or guarantees not herein contained and hereinafter made have no force and effect unless in writing, signed by Borrowers' and Agent's respective officers. Neither this Amendment nor any portion or provisions hereof may be changed, modified, amended, waived, supplemented, discharged, cancelled, or terminated orally or by any course of dealing, or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing, signed by the party to be charged. Each Borrower acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in connection with the execution of this Amendment and the other Loan Documents and is not relying upon oral representations or statements inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Amendment.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]

New Accounting Standards

New Accounting Standards

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) – Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS”, which amends ASC 820 providing consistent guidance on fair value measurement and disclosure requirements between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” ASU 2011-05 requires the components of net income and other comprehensive income to be either presented in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, consecutive statements. While ASU 2011-05 changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current accounting guidance. This new guidance is effective for the Company beginning February 1, 2012 and requires retrospective application. As this guidance only amends the presentation of the components of comprehensive income, the adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Seasonality [Abstract]

Seasonality

Seasonality

The market for educational furniture is marked by extreme seasonality, with over 50% of the Company’s total sales typically occurring from June to September each year, which is the Company’s peak season. Hence, the Company typically builds and carries significant amounts of inventory during and in anticipation of this peak summer season to facilitate the rapid delivery requirements of customers in the educational market. This requires a large up-front investment in inventory, labor, storage and related costs as inventory is built in anticipation of peak sales during the summer months. As the capital required for this build-up generally exceeds cash available from operations, the Company has historically relied on third-party bank financing to meet cash flow requirements during the build-up period immediately preceding the peak season. In addition, the Company typically is faced with a large balance of accounts receivable during the peak season. This occurs for two primary reasons. First, accounts receivable balances typically increase during the peak season as shipments of products increase. Second, many customers during this period are government institutions, which tend to pay accounts receivable more slowly than commercial customers.

The Company’s working capital requirements during and in anticipation of the peak summer season require management to make estimates and judgments that affect assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to market demand, labor costs, and stocking inventory.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred income taxes under the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of ASC No. 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities at enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income or reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Based on this consideration, the Company determined the realization of a majority of the net deferred tax assets no longer met the more likely than not criteria and a valuation allowance was recorded against the majority of the net deferred tax assets at October 31, 2012. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended October 31, 2012 was impacted by the valuation allowance recognized against state deferred tax assets and discrete items associated with non-taxable permanent differences.

The Company is currently under IRS examination for its tax return for the year ended January 31, 2011. The years ended January 31, 2010 and January 31, 2012 remain open for examination by the IRS. The years ended January 31, 2008 through January 31, 2012 remain open for examination by state tax authorities. The Company is not currently under state examination.

The specific timing of when the resolution of each tax position will be reached is uncertain. As of October 31, 2012, we do not believe that there are any positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]

Debt

Debt

The Company and Virco Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Virco Inc.” and, together with the Company, the “Borrowers”) are party to a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of December 22, 2011, with PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and lender ( “PNC”). On June 15, 2012, the Borrowers entered into Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Credit Agreement which, among other things, increased the borrowing availability thereunder by $3,000,000 for the period from May 1 through July 14 of each year. On July 27, 2012, the Borrowers entered into Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to the Credit Agreement which, among other things, reduced the minimum EBITDA financial covenant contained therein for the five consecutive months ending June 2012 from $1,600,000 to $300,000. On September 12, 2012, the Borrowers entered into Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) to the Credit Agreement which, among other things, modified the minimum EBITDA covenant for the balance of the fiscal year. On December 6, 2012, the Borrowers entered into Amendment No. 4 (“Amendment No. 4”) to the Credit Agreement which, among other things, waived the violation of the minimum EBITDA and minimum tangible net worth covenants at October 31, 2012 and eliminated the minimum EBITDA covenant at November 30, 2012.

The Credit Agreement provides the Borrowers with a secured revolving line of credit (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) of up to $60,000,000, with seasonal adjustments to the credit limit and subject to borrowing base limitations, and includes a sub-limit of up to $3,000,000 for issuances of letters of credit. The Revolving Credit Facility is an asset-based line of credit that is subject to a borrowing base limitation and generally provides for advances of up to 85% on eligible accounts receivable, plus a percentage equal to the lesser of 60% of the value of eligible inventory or 85% of the liquidation value of eligible inventory, plus an amount ranging from $6,000,000 to $12,000,000 from March 1 through July 31 of each year, minus undrawn amounts of letters of credit and reserves. The Revolving Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Borrowers’ personal property and certain of the Borrowers’ real property. The principal amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement and any accrued and unpaid interest is due no later than December 22, 2014, and the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to certain prepayment penalties upon earlier termination of the Revolving Credit Facility. Prior to the maturity date, principal amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement may be repaid and reborrowed at the option of the Borrowers without premium or penalty, subject to borrowing base limitations, seasonal adjustments and certain other conditions.

The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest, at the Borrowers’ option, at either the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or the Eurodollar Currency Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for Alternate Base Rate loans is a percentage within a range of 0.75% to 1.75%, and the applicable margin for Eurodollar Currency Rate loans is a percentage within a range of 1.75% to 2.75%, in each case based on the EBITDA of the Borrowers at the end of each fiscal quarter, and may be increased at PNC’s option by 2.0% during the continuance of an event of default. Accrued interest with respect to principal amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement is payable in arrears on a monthly basis for Alternative Base Rate loans, and at the end of the applicable interest period but at most every three months for Eurodollar Currency Rate loans.

The Credit Agreement contains a covenant that forbids the Company from issuing dividends or making payments with respect to the Company’s capital stock, and contains numerous other covenants that limit under certain circumstances the ability of the Borrowers and their subsidiaries to, among other things, merge with or acquire other entities, incur new liens, incur additional indebtedness, repurchase stock, sell assets outside of the ordinary course of business, enter into transactions with affiliates, or substantially change the general nature of the business of the Borrowers, taken as a whole. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to maintain the following financial maintenance covenants: (1) a minimum tangible net worth amount, (2) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, and (3) a minimum EBITDA amount, in each case as of the end of the relevant monthly, quarterly or annual measurement period. As of October 31, 2012 the Credit Agreement required the Company to maintain: (1) a minimum tangible net worth of at least $37,007,500 for the fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2012, (2) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.10 to 1.00 for the three consecutive fiscal quarters ending October 31, 2012, and (3) a minimum EBITDA amount of $10,300,000 for the nine consecutive fiscal months ending October 31, 2012. The actual results of the Company with respect to the foregoing financial covenants for the period ending October 31, 2012 were as follows: (1) the Company maintained a tangible net worth of $36,495,000 for the fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2012, (2) the Company maintained a fixed charge coverage ratio of 9.10 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2012, and (3) the Company achieved EBITDA of $10,206,000 for the nine consecutive fiscal months ending October 31, 2012. Therefore the Company was in violation of its minimum tangible net worth and minimum EBITDA amount for the relevant period ending October 31, 2012, each of which constitutes an event of default under the Credit Agreement. On December 6, 2012 the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 (Amendment No. 4) to the Credit Agreement that waived the violation of the minimum EBITDA and minimum tangible net worth covenants at October 31, 2012 and eliminated the minimum EBITDA covenant at November 30, 2012.

In addition, there is a “clean down” provision that requires the Company to reduce borrowings under the line to less than $6,000,000 for a period of 60 days each fiscal year. The Company believes that normal operating cash flow will allow it to meet the “clean down” requirement with no adverse impact on the Company's liquidity.

Events of default (subject to certain cure periods and other limitations) under the Credit Agreement include, but are not limited to, (i) non-payment of principal, interest or other amounts due under the Credit Agreement, (ii) the violation of terms, covenants, representations or warranties in the Credit Agreement or related loan documents, (iii) any event of default under agreements governing certain indebtedness of the Borrowers and certain defaults by the Borrowers under other agreements that would materially adversely affect the Borrowers, (iv) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation involving the Borrowers, (v) judgments or judicial actions against the Borrowers in excess of $250,000, subject to certain conditions, (vi) the failure of the Company to comply with Pension Benefit Plans (as defined in the Credit Agreement), (vii) the invalidity of loan documents pertaining to the Credit Agreement, (viii) a change of control of the Borrowers and (ix) the interruption of operations of any of the Borrowers' manufacturing facilities for five consecutive days during the peak season or fifteen consecutive days during any other time, subject to certain conditions.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, substantially all of the Borrowers' accounts receivable are automatically and promptly swept to repay amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility upon receipt by the Borrowers. Due to this automatic liquidating nature of the Revolving Credit Facility, if the Borrowers breach any covenant, violate any representation or warranty or suffer a deterioration in their ability to borrow pursuant to the borrowing base calculation, the Borrowers may not have access to cash liquidity unless provided by PNC at its discretion. In addition, certain of the covenants and representations and warranties set forth in the Credit Agreement contain limited or no materiality thresholds, and many of the representations and warranties must be true and correct in all material respects upon each borrowing, which the Borrowers expect to occur on an ongoing basis. There can be no assurance that the Borrowers will be able to comply with all such covenants and be able to continue to make such representations and warranties on an ongoing basis.

At October 31, 2012, availability under the Revolving Credit Facility was $11,757,000. Management believes that the carrying value of debt approximated fair value at October 31, 2012, as all of the long-term debt bears interest at variable rates based on prevailing market conditions.

The descriptions set forth herein of the Credit Agreement, Amendment No. 1, Amendment No.2, Amendment No. 3 and Amendment No. 4 are qualified in their entirety by the terms of such agreements, each of which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).

Fair Value Measurement

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) – Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS”, which amends ASC 820 providing consistent guidance on fair value measurement and disclosure requirements between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Presentation of Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” ASU 2011-05 requires the components of net income and other comprehensive income to be either presented in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, consecutive statements. While ASU 2011-05 changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current accounting guidance. This new guidance is effective for the Company beginning February 1, 2012 and requires retrospective application. As this guidance only amends the presentation of the components of comprehensive income, the adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Stock Incentive Plans

The Company’s two stock plans are the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) and the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”). Under the 2011 Plan, the Company may grant an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares to its employees and non-employee directors in the form of stock options or awards. The 2007 Plan similarly allows for the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares. As of October 31, 2012, only 448,750 and 13,075 shares remained available for issuance under the 2011 Plan and 2007 Plan, respectively. Restricted stock or stock units awarded under both Plans are expensed ratably over the vesting period of the awards. The Company determines the fair value of its restricted stock unit awards and related compensation expense as the difference between the market value of the awards on the date of grant less the exercise price of the awards granted.

There were no unexercised options outstanding under the 2011 Plan or the 2007 Plan at October 31, 2012. Stock options awarded to employees under the both Plans have to be at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Stock options generally have a maximum term of 10 years and generally become exercisable ratably over a five-year period.

The shares of common stock issued upon exercise of a previously granted stock option are considered new issuances from shares reserved for issuance upon adoption of the various plans. While the Company does not have a formal written policy detailing such issuance, it requires that the option holders provide a written notice of exercise to the stock plan administrator and payment for the shares prior to issuance of the shares.

Stockholders’ Rights

On October 15, 1996, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of one preferred stock purchase right (the “Rights”) for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock. Each of the Rights entitles a stockholder to purchase for an exercise price of $50.00 ($20.70, as adjusted for stock splits and stock dividends), subject to adjustment, one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock of the Company, or under certain circumstances, shares of common stock of the Company or a successor company with a market value equal to two times the exercise price. The Rights are not exercisable, and would only become exercisable for all other persons when any person has acquired or commences to acquire a beneficial interest of at least 20% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Rights have no voting privileges, and may be redeemed by the Board of Directors at a price of $.001 per Right at any time prior to the acquisition of a beneficial ownership of 20% of the outstanding common stock. There are 200,000 shares (483,153 shares as adjusted by stock splits and stock dividends) of Series A Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Rights. On July 31, 2007, the Company and Mellon Investor Services LLC entered into an amendment to the Rights Agreement governing the Rights. The amendment, among other things, extended the term of the Rights issued under the Rights Agreement to October 25, 2016, removed the dead-hand provisions from the Rights Agreement, and formally replaced the former Rights Agent, The Chase Manhattan Bank, with its successor-in-interest, Mellon Investor Services LLC.

The Company also provides a supplementary retirement plan for certain key employees, the VIP Retirement Plan (the “VIP Plan”). The VIP Plan provides a benefit of up to 50% of average compensation for the last five years in the VIP Plan, offset by benefits earned under the Employees Retirement Plan. As more fully described in the Form 10-K, benefit accruals under this plan were frozen effective December 31, 2003.

The Company also provides a non-qualified plan for non-employee directors of the Company (the “Non-Employee Directors Retirement Plan”). The Non-Employee Directors Retirement Plan provides a lifetime annual retirement benefit equal to the director’s annual retainer fee for the fiscal year in which the director terminates his or her position with the Board, subject to the director providing 10 years of service to the Company. As more fully described in the Form 10-K, benefit accruals under this plan were frozen effective December 31, 2003.

Inventory Disclosure [Abstract]

Inventories

Inventories

Inventories primarily consist of raw materials, work in progress, and finished goods of manufactured products. In addition, the Company maintains an inventory of finished goods purchased for resale. Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market and consist of materials, labor, and overhead. The Company determines the cost of inventory by the first-in, first-out method. The value of inventory includes any related production overhead costs incurred in bringing the inventory to its present location and condition. The Company records the cost of excess capacity as a period expense, not as a component of capitalized inventory valuation.

Management continually monitors production costs, material costs and inventory levels to determine that interim inventories are fairly stated.
