<P align="center"><FONT size="2">Virco Announces Acquisition of Certain Assets of Corex Products, Inc.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Torrance, California &#150; December&nbsp;19, 2003: Virco Mfg. Corporation (AMEX: VIR)
announced today that it has acquired certain assets of Corex Products, Inc., in
the following letter to shareholders from Robert A. Virtue, President and CEO:
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Despite the current downturn in the classroom market, we have continued to seek
prudent acquisitions that strengthen our ability to meet the functional and
seasonal demands of our customers. Following recent decisions by several major
accounts to switch from thermoplastic to hard plastic chairs and desks, we
decided to add capacity for making these parts. Today we signed agreements
with the owner and secured lender of Corex Products, Inc., to acquire
particular machines, molds and a pending patent that will give us that
capacity. The purchase price was $1,000,000.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">Hard plastic is an extremely durable material made from finely ground wood
flour, pigments and melamine resin. It is molded into seats, backs and writing
surfaces for classroom chairs and desks. Hard plastic furniture currently
represents about 20% of our total revenue, but demand in this segment is
increasing as more districts try to maximize the price-value relationship of
their furnishings. Several new product lines slated for release in 2004 and
2005 will also make use of hard plastic components.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">This acquisition fits easily within our capital expenditure budget and will not
prevent us from reaching our goal of having less total debt by year-end.
</FONT>

<P align="left"><FONT size="2">As we have said in prior reports, the recession in our market may create as
many opportunities as challenges. With our restructuring complete and the
prospect of stable demand in 2004, our emphasis now is on growth. The
acquisition of certain Corex assets is strategically consistent with our goal
of providing the highest value furniture and equipment for educators. By
concluding the purchase in December we have allowed enough time to relocate
equipment and build components for summer delivery.
