                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               September 30, 1997


1)    Management Opinion

      In the opinion of management, the condensed financial statements reflect
      all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments)
      necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of
      operations as of and for the periods presented.

      The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September
      30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
      the full fiscal year.

2)    Taxes on Income

      Certain items of income and expense are recorded on different bases for
      financial statement and income tax reporting. Deferred state income taxes
      have been provided for the effects of these temporary differences.

3)    Earnings Per Share

      Earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number
      of common equivalent shares outstanding during each year. It is assumed
      that all dilutive stock options are exercised at the grant date and that
      the proceeds are used to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at
      the public market price of $22.75 per share.

4)    On November 6, 1997 the Company announced that it sold 1,000,000 shares of
      common stock and that certain selling shareholders sold 1,012,500 shares
      of common stock at $20.00 per share. The shares sold by the selling
      shareholders include 262,500 shares granted to the underwriters to cover
      over allotments. The aggregate net proceeds to the company (before
      deducting expenses) are estimated to be $18,900,000.

      The net proceeds of the shares offered by Modtech will be used to reduce
      Modtech, Inc.'s outstanding bank indebtedness and for other general
      corporate purposes. Modtech will not receive any of the proceeds from the
      sale of shares by the selling shareholders.

        The net sales for the three months and nine months ended September 30,
1997 increased $25,520,000 or 179% and $71,722,000 or 266% respectively. The
increase in revenue is principally attributable to the economic recovery of
California and the California Class Size Reduction Program.

        Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the three month ended
September 30, 1997 increased to 21.5% from 14.9% and the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 increased to 20.1% from 14.7% over the same periods in 1996.
The increase was due to the increased volume, utilization of a previously idle
facility and the realization of manufacturing efficiencies.

        Selling, general and administrative expense increased for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 by $739,000, an increase of 119%. Costs for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased $2,073,000, an increase of 141%.
The increase is due to the increase in sales volume.

        Due to increased volume and average amounts outstanding net interest
expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased by
$132,000 and 577,000 or 93% and 235%, respectively. The Company continues to
borrow under its revolving line of credit to support its accounts receivable and
work-in-progress inventories. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources".

Inflation

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Operating Activities

        To date, the Company has generated cash to meet its needs from
operations, bank borrowings and its initial public offering. At September 30,
1997, the Company had $515,000 in cash. During the nine months ended September
30, 1997 the Company provided cash in its operating activities.

        The Company has a revolving loan commitment that will expire September
1998. The Company is entitled to borrow, from time to time up to $20,000,000
with actual borrowings limited to specified percentages of eligible accounts
receivables, equipment and inventories. On September 30, 1997, $12,633,000 was
outstanding under the loan.

        During the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, certain
directors, officers or employees exercised 27,000 and 56,400 common stock
options for a total of $17,010 and $77,898 respectively.

Management believes that the Company's existing product lines and manufacturing
capacity will enable the Company to generate sufficient cash through operations,
supplemented by periodic use of its existing bank line of credit, to finance the
Company's business at current levels over the next 12 months. Additional cash
resources may be required if the company is able to expand its business beyond
current levels. For example, it will be necessary for the company to construct
or acquire additional manufacturing facilities in order for the Company to
compete effectively in new market areas or states which are beyond a 300 mile
radius from one of its production facilities. The construction or acquisition of
new facilities would require significant additional capital. For these reasons,
among others, the Company may need additional debt or equity financing in the
future. There can be, however, no assurance that the Company will be successful
in obtaining such additional financing, or that any such financing will be
available on terms acceptable to the Company.
