			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Modular Building Institute Conveys Awards for Outstanding Projects</p>
<p>PERRIS, Calif.&#8211;(BUSINESS WIRE)&#8211;Modtech Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: MODT) is proud to announce that the company has been recognized by industry leaders for several innovative projects. The winners of the prestigious Awards of Distinction contest were announced during the Modular Building Institute (MBI) 25th Annual Convention. Members of the MBI submit their premier projects and the buildings are judged by a panel of construction experts on a variety of aspects including architectural excellence, technical innovation, efficiency and construction time. Over one hundred unique projects were submitted this year in various categories.</p>
<p>Modtech received awards for a large <a href="http://www.modtech.com/products/modular-government-buildings.php">government</a> project, a private <a href="http://www.modtech.com/products/modular-education-buildings.php">school classroom</a>, and a virtually indestructible concrete and block <a href="http://www.modtech.com/products/education/blockhead-modular-restrooms.php">restroom building</a>. The three buildings illustrate Modtech’s innovative design and manufacturing abilities.</p>
<p>In addition, Modtech received two awards for marketing campaigns. Details and pictures of each project are posted on the Modtech website: <a href="http://www.modtech.com/awards">www.modtech.com/awards</a>.</p>
<p>After the awards ceremony, Modtech Senior Vice President Rick Bartolotti commented, “We are honored to be recognized by this distinguished panel of our peers. Recent innovations in modular building construction have allowed Modtech to provide structures never before possible.” Bartolotti added, “Modern <a href="http://www.modtech.com/">modular buildings</a> are indistinguishable from site built projects but provide significant time savings.”</p>

<p>PERRIS, Calif.&#8211;(BUSINESS WIRE)&#8211;Jan. 3, 2008&#8211;Modtech Holdings, Inc. (<category domain="http://rss.financialcontent.com/stocksymbol">Nasdaq:MODT</category>) announced a multi-year agreement with LivingHomes, LLC (&#8221;LivingHomes&#8221;) under which Modtech Holdings Inc. (&#8221;Modtech&#8221;) will be the exclusive manufacturer of <a href="http://www.livinghomes.net/" rel="nofollow">LivingHomes&#8217;</a> Ray Kappe-designed steel-framed modular single-family homes in markets served jointly by the two companies.</p>
<p>Modtech President and Chief Executive Officer Dennis Shogren commented: &#8220;We are excited to partner with LivingHomes and to build on the success of our first project together, which was completed last November. We are already under way on the next project, with several more in the early stages of design and approval. In addition to the substantial business opportunity this product line represents over the next several years, it&#8217;s just plain fun to look at a completed Ray Kappe-designed home and say &#8216;Modtech built that!&#8217;&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We look forward to working with Modtech on our Ray Kappe-designed homes,&#8221; said LivingHomes Founder and CEO Steve Glenn. &#8220;By partnering exclusively with a manufacturer of Modtech&#8217;s caliber, we will be able to reduce our costs and delivery schedules and increase our national reach.&#8221;</p>
<p>Shogren continued, &#8220;The agreement with LivingHomes capped a very good fourth-quarter bookings effort. At over $50 million in bookings, this was the highest level of quarterly bookings in the last two years. Even more gratifying than the turnaround in our bookings trend is the fact that more than half of the bookings came from new products introduced over the past 15 months. Bookings for the quarter included new products for the <a href="http://www.modtech.com/products/modular-government-buildings.php">military</a>, our recently introduced <a href="http://www.modtech.com/products/education/blockhead-modular-restrooms.php">Blockhead</a> and <a href="http://www.modtech.com/products/commercial/glo-ground-level-office.php">GLO</a> product lines, and our niche <a href="http://www.modtechresidential.com/" target="_blank">residential</a> products, which demonstrate that our strategy of diversifying our product offerings is beginning to take hold and will serve us well in the future.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our excitement over the increased bookings is tempered by the realization that a turnaround in financial results can be expected to lag the turnaround in bookings by one to two quarters. We continue to carefully manage our costs and look forward to a return to profitability as we begin construction supported by the growing backlog.&#8221;</p>

<p>Perris, Calif.—November 8, 2007—Modtech Holdings, Inc. (<category domain="http://rss.financialcontent.com/stocksymbol">Nasdaq:MODT</category>) announced that it now has the ability to offer the <a href="http://www.modtech.com/products/education/iguana-green-classrooms.php">Iguana green classroom</a> buildings via a district-approved cooperative purchase (&#8221;piggyback&#8221;) agreement. The Iguana is based on standards from the Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) and is Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certifiable without site consideration.</p>
<p>According to Modtech’s School Group President, Ron Savona, the piggyback contract enables buyers in the California education market to purchase buildings at competitively bid prices without the time and expense of bidding the project again. “The Iguana relocatable green classroom building complements our full line of <a href="http://www.modtech.com/products/modular-education-buildings.php">permanent and relocatable educational buildings</a>, which can be configured for <a href="http://www.usgbc.org/LEED" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">LEED</a> or <a href="http://www.chps.net/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">CHPS</a> certification,” stated Savona.</p>
<p>Savona noted that many architects and school districts are interested in the Iguana as it qualifies for both LEED and CHPS certification. To decrease energy use, the Iguana includes a high-SEER heat pump and Icyene insulation for reduced HVAC load and mold potential. <a href="http://www.solatube.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Solatube skylights</a> increase natural lighting, which decreases the need for artificial lighting. Environmentally friendly materials such as highly recycled content products are used throughout and production waste materials are recycled. The combination of no VOC materials, improved insulation, and an ultra-quiet HVAC system provides a superior learning environment.</p>
<p>The factory construction process allows Modtech to provide customers with buildings up to 60% faster than conventional on-site construction and with significantly less site disruption. The buildings are of comparable or superior quality compared to those constructed by conventional methods.</p>

<p>Perris, Calif.—October 8, 2007—Modtech Holdings, Inc. (<category domain="http://rss.financialcontent.com/stocksymbol">Nasdaq:MODT</category>) today announced that its new Blockhead™ series of <a href="http://www.modtech.com/products/education/blockhead-modular-restrooms.php">modular school restrooms</a>, designed and built to be virtually indestructible, has received California Division of State Architect (“DSA”) pre-approval. According to Modtech President and Chief Executive Officer Dennis Shogren, the DSA pre-approval enables buyers in the California education market to bypass local jurisdictional approval on individual building designs and dramatically reduces delivery time. In addition, noted Shogren, the Blockhead™ buildings are included in a district-approved cooperative purchasing agreement, otherwise known as a “piggyback contract,” further facilitating the purchasing process. “Our announcement today of the Blockhead™ restroom buildings for the education market is part of our product diversification strategy and is expected to contribute to our future revenue growth,” said Shogren.</p>
<p>Blockhead™ restrooms significantly reduce building operating costs. Features include vandal/damage-resistant steel-reinforced concrete and block walls and heavy-duty stainless steel fixtures. High-quality plumbing valves and other building equipment are located inside a secure plumbing chase to protect from theft and vandalism. This plumbing chase also facilitates repairs and maintenance as equipment is centrally located. The ventilation design eliminates the need for mechanical ventilation and the related maintenance and vandalism potential. The sealed concrete slab is sloped towards floor drains and fixtures are wall mounted, facilitating wash down of the interior.</p>
<p>To further reduce construction time, 98% of the building is completed before arrival on location. Site work is, therefore, minimal and the installation time is only days, compared to the weeks it takes to build a restroom on-site. Moreover, the integrated steel reinforced concrete slab allows for placement directly on soil, minimizing site preparation. The building is secure upon arrival, protecting it from theft and vandalism.</p>
<p>The Blockhead™ complements Modtech’s comprehensive offering of <a href="http://www.modtech.com/">modular buildings</a> ranging from single <a href="http://www.modtech.com/products/modular-education-buildings.php">classroom</a> additions to permanent campuses with multi-story buildings. Modtech’s factory construction processes provide its customers with buildings up to 60% faster than those built using conventional on-site construction and with significantly less disruption to the customer’s site. The buildings are of comparable or superior quality to those constructed by conventional methods.</p>
