</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Torrance, California &#151; April&nbsp;16, 2009 &#151; Virco Mfg. Corporation (NASDAQ: VIRC) today announced
fourth quarter and year-end results for the period ended January&nbsp;31, 2009, as well as the
declaration of a quarterly cash dividend in the following letter to stockholders from Robert A.
Virtue, President and CEO:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Under the best of circumstances it&#146;s a challenge to achieve the proper balance between profit, cash
flows, a healthy balance sheet, appropriate strategic investment, and corporate citizenship.
Maximizing one requires trade-offs with some or all of the others, and market conditions rarely
provide an unconstrained set of options. Under difficult conditions such choices become even more
crucial because operating cushions are thin or non-existent.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Confronted with historically difficult conditions in 2008, we chose to maximize our strategic
investments and the strength of our balance sheet. As a consequence profit and cash flows were
reduced. Looking forward, we believe we made the correct choices. Conditions in our market seem
likely to favor suppliers with high liquidity, broad product assortments, a reliable track record,
and the proven ability to develop new products organically.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As this report goes to press we may also have passed the bottom of our own trough, with incoming
orders through the first 8&nbsp;weeks of fiscal 2009 up 5% compared to the same period last year.
Having recently extended our $65,000,000 credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank through March of
2011, we have the liquidity to pursue our long-term strategic objectives. Our globally-competitive
domestic factories continue to gain market share with a combination of price, performance and
quality. Most importantly, we&#146;re gratified that achieving this position required neither layoffs
nor restructuring charges, and that we were able to continue our cash dividend and share repurchase
programs through a very challenging period.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Here are the numbers for the 4<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">th</SUP> quarter and the full year:

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Six years ago we embarked on a new strategic course called Equipment for Educators&#153;. This strategy
envisioned transforming Virco from a pure manufacturer of moveable classroom furniture (estimated
market size $400,000,000) to a more diversified manufacturer and distributor of the full product
assortment of educational furniture, fixtures and equipment (estimated market size $800,000,000 &#151;
$1,000,000,000).

operating costs and customer relationships &#151; remain gratifyingly stable despite the present
recession. Perhaps most importantly, we believe our Equipment for Educators business model is
appropriately aligned with the evolving needs of our public and private school customers, and that
our cost structure is properly scaled to current demand while providing sufficient scope for
expansion as the economy improves. We required neither layoffs nor restructuring charges to
achieve this balance, and we don&#146;t anticipate any such actions in fiscal 2009.
