FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                       REPTRON ELECTRONICS, INC. ANNOUNCES
CONFIRMATION OF PLAN FOR REORGANIZATION

TAMPA, FLORIDA, JANUARY 16, 2004 - Reptron Electronics, Inc. (OTCBB: REPT), an
electronics manufacturing services company, today reported that its Second
Amended Plan of Reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code was
confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court on January 14, 2004. Reptron
anticipates the effective date of this confirmation to occur on January 26,
2004, which is about ninety days from the original filing date.

Under the confirmed plan of reorganization, the Company's unsecured class of
creditors that includes its existing convertible notes, will receive new notes
with a total principal amount of $30 million. The existing notes, along with all
accrued and unpaid interest, will be cancelled. The unsecured class of creditors
will also receive 95% of the common shares of the reorganized Company. Existing
common shareholders will receive the remaining 5% of the common shares of the
reorganized Company.

"The restructuring of our convertible notes is a key component in our strategic
plan which we believe positions the Company to take advantage of future growth
opportunities", said Paul J. Plante, Reptron's President and Chief Operating
Officer. "Once the restructuring is completed, Reptron will have reduced its
debt load by over $70 million over the past twelve months."

"We are extremely pleased to have completed this restructuring in such a short
time frame," continued Plante. "During this period we have worked very hard to
ensure that suppliers were timely paid and customers received the high quality
service to which they are accustomed. Sincere thanks to all customers, suppliers
and employees for their strong support during this restructuring".
