</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Torrance, California &#151; December&nbsp;10, 2008 &#151; Virco Mfg. Corporation (NASDAQ: VIRC) today announced
third quarter results in the following letter to stockholders from Robert A. Virtue, President and
CEO:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Sales and pre-tax income both stabilized in the third quarter, partially offsetting the
disappointing results of the first two quarters. Compared to last year&#146;s third quarter, sales and
pre-tax income were down 2.7% and 3.5% respectively. Through nine months, sales and pre-tax income
are down 6.5% and 51.7% respectively. The relative improvement in the third quarter was caused by
a combination of solid late-season orders and moderating raw material costs. The 6.5% decline in
YTD sales is recession-related. The 51.7% decline in YTD pre-tax income is roughly divided between
lower factory absorption related to the sales decline, and a mid-year spike in steel, plastic and
fuel costs that severely impacted our margins during the peak shipping months of June, July and
August. In last year&#146;s third quarter we also booked a one-time, non-cash, non-operating deferred
tax benefit of $10,681,000 resulting from the re-evaluation of deferred tax benefits. Here are the
numbers:

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Anticipating a slowing economy at the beginning of 2008, we established two goals: protect the
balance sheet and strengthen the Virco brand. We accomplished both goals.
</DIV>


<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><!-- Folio -->&nbsp;<!-- /Folio -->

<!-- PAGEBREAK -->

<H5 align="left" style="page-break-before:always">&nbsp;</H5><P>

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">



<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Our balance sheet is strong and simple. For the second year in a row we were debt-free at the end
of the third quarter. We have no long-term debt, a zero balance on our seasonal revolving line of
credit, and cash in the bank. Shareholder equity stands at $73,443,000. Inventories are well
controlled, with unit volumes and valuations net of LIFO reserves both lower than last year.
Accounts receivable and payable are also comparable to last year, reflecting continued strong
relationships with our customers and suppliers. We have no derivatives, no deferred executive
compensation, and no re-priced stock options. While the value of our pension investments has
suffered along with the overall market, our long-term pension obligations remain well within our
current funding ability.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Our uses of capital are also simple: we continue to invest in new products, and we&#146;re returning a
prudent portion of free cash flow to our shareholders. So far this year our capital expenditures
of $3.2M have focused on new tooling and equipment to support products slated for release in 2009.
We&#146;ve also made $1.4M of combined shareholder distributions, split between cash dividends and share
repurchases.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The heart of our brand development strategy is our expanding portfolio of Equipment for Educators&#153;.
Metaphor&#174; seating and Text&#153; tables, both released in 2008, extended the depth of our already
strong position in moveable classroom furniture. We&#146;re also pleased to announce two important new
partners on our U.S. Communities contract: Wenger&#174; and Interior Concepts&#153;. These companies provide
highly regarded equipment for music facilities, performing arts and media support. Both of them
also share our values and our long-term commitment to serving the educational community. Along
with our other vendor partners, Wenger and Interior Concepts expand the breadth of our Equipment
for Educators portfolio beyond what we make in our own factories, offering educators at all grade
levels the convenience of a strong and trusted single-source supplier.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">To a large extent the encouraging results of the third quarter reflect a funding regime that
pre-dates current economic conditions. The bulk of this year&#146;s deliveries were funded in 2007,
when receipts of state income taxes, property taxes and sales taxes were relatively high. That
funding is much reduced for 2008, especially in states such as California, Florida, and New York.
Allowing for a certain degree of variability from state to state, it seems probable that aggregated
spending for school furniture and equipment will be lower in 2009, and perhaps even 2010.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Our competitive profile is much improved since the last recession in 2001. As stated above, our
balance sheet is strong and simple. We have reduced our fixed cost structure without closing any
domestic factories, giving us good flexibility and control over inventory levels, lead times and
product quality. Our track record of new product development is excellent, both in terms of
innovation and cost effectiveness. Finally, our 19-year partnership with Wells Fargo continues to
provide the necessary liquidity to operate in a highly seasonal market with unique financial
constraints.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">These strengths, plus continued dedication to sustainable business practices such as recycling and
our industry-leading Take-Back program, make Virco&#146;s value proposition even more compelling during
a time of uncertainty. We hope to use these strengths to offset the challenges of a weak economy
and either maintain or slightly improve our current levels of revenue and income in 2009. As
always, success will depend on a unified effort from our loyal team of owners, employees and
partners.
