</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Torrance, California &#151; June&nbsp;9, 2009 &#151; Virco Mfg. Corporation (NASDAQ: VIRC) today
announced first 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">As a leading supplier of classroom furniture, the timing of our first quarter report
corresponds with the seasonal transition from winter/spring inventory build to summer
delivery. Monthly shipments for each of our summer months exceed the cumulative total for
the first quarter. This higher volume tends to magnify whatever trends are presently in
effect as we head into the delivery season. This recessionary year in particular, higher
summer volume is expected to have meaningful impacts on four major elements of our business:
balance sheet, margins, order rates and customer relationships. We&#146;ll start with results
from the first quarter, then look forward to the potential impact of higher volume on the
trends we&#146;ve identified.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The first quarter of 2009 was marked by a 7% decline in shipments, a 13% decline in gross
margin, and tightly controlled operating expenses. The net result was a 5% increase in
after-tax loss. As stated above, these results tie to a very small sample size of
shipments. Preliminary analysis from May suggests that year-to-date net margin has
improved, meaning that through four months we&#146;re operating at a slightly more efficient rate
than last year. Credit for the improvement is about evenly split between cost controls and
a shift in our product and service mix toward higher margin offerings. Importantly,
operating trends continue to suggest that staffing, infrastructure and factory output are
appropriately scaled to current levels of demand. As reported in April, we achieved this
balance gradually over the last half of fiscal 2008 without the need for layoffs or
restructuring. We are continuing to balance short-term recessionary adjustments with
longer-term employee, product and market development initiatives to be fully prepared for
the eventual end of this recession.

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

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As described above, acceleration of seasonal shipping volume tends to magnify whatever
trends are in force at the beginning of summer. This year some of those trends are
positive, while others are negative. In aggregate, their net impact is likely to be
moderately positive through the end of summer.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In terms of our balance sheet, the positive trends established last year have continued into
2009. Inventories at the end of the first quarter were $49M vs. $63M in 2008, a reduction
of 22%. Bank borrowings closely follow our seasonal bulge, financing the buildup of
inventory in winter/spring and the collection of accounts receivable in summer/fall.
Therefore, as inventories drop, borrowings follow a parallel path. At the end of the first
quarter bank debt was $16M vs. $29M last year, a reduction of 45%.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In the case of both inventories and borrowings, heavy summer shipments are expected to
reinforce current trends. By June our inventories always begin to drop and, while they&#146;re
fully adequate to support demand, we expect them to fall below last year&#146;s levels by the end
of summer. We also expect borrowings to remain substantially below last year&#146;s absolute
levels (in terms of dollars) and relative levels (in terms of debt to earnings and equity).
In summary, our liquidity trend is positive and likely to remain so.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Margins are another trend moving in a positive direction. In June&nbsp;2008 raw materials such
as oil, steel and plastics experienced speculative spikes in prices. For us the timing was
unfortunate, coming at the seasonal transition from low to high shipping volume. We managed
to absorb the impact without major restructuring, but margins continued to suffer for the
remainder of the year. This summer, trends on raw material are favorable. Especially in
comparison with 2008, the relationship of selling price to cost-of-goods-sold seems likely
to improve through at least the second quarter.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Order rates are a major trend moving in a recessionary direction. For many publicly-funded
agencies, including public schools, the budget year runs from July 1 to June&nbsp;30. This means
that the first half of 2008 was still carrying momentum from late 2007, while the first half
of 2009 is now clearly being affected by the uncertainty of public funding. All major
indicators of demand are now trending downward by mid- to high-single digits. Traditionally
the most accurate of these is &#147;shipments plus backlog,&#148; a combination of year-to-date
shipping volume plus un-delivered summer projects. At the end of the first quarter
shipments plus backlog was down approximately 1%. At the end of May the figure had
deteriorated to approximately 5%. The true wild card for order rates is stimulus funding,
some of which is now reaching individual school districts. We&#146;ve built our operating plan
on the conservative assumption that stimulus funding will be late and light &#151; in other
words we&#146;re not betting on it &#151; but if we&#146;re right, the downward trend in orders may offset
some or all of the positive trends in operations and gross margin. We remain hopeful but
not dependent with regard to the stimulus.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Customer relationships are a third trend moving in a positive direction. We&#146;ve dedicated
much of our organizational capital to enhancements in product, service and follow-through
for our existing loyal customers. We&#146;ve also made meaningful progress in reaching new
customers who appreciate our innovative products, PlanSCAPE<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">&#174;</SUP> project management, reliable
delivery, and financial strength. While we&#146;re disappointed with a 5% decline in shipments
plus backlog at the end of May, we appear to have fared better than certain furniture
indices. Aggregated figures for BIFMA (the Business and Institutional Furniture
Manufacturers&#146; Association) are more in the range of 20% &#151; 30%. If our relative position is
in fact somewhat better, we attribute a portion of that improvement to new customer
relationships.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We continue to be satisfied with the reception of our new products. Our portfolio of
organically developed products is growing by one or two major families per year. These
internal additions have been strengthened by an equally diverse assortment of new items from
our vendor partners. Collectively, these products provide educators with a broad choice of
performance, style, comfort and price for every functional space on a modern campus. Our
goal is to continue these line extensions and enhancements using the same techniques that
have been successful over the past six years. Taken together, all capital expenditures
including product and service development, process enhancement, IT, and ordinary maintenance
will continue to be in the range of $3,000,000 &#151; $5,000,000 per year. At current levels of
operation, this leaves sufficient cash flow and liquidity to fund our cash dividends,
pension obligations, and share repurchase programs.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">To summarize, we find ourselves in a dynamic situation where many large trends are moving in
contradictory directions. The biggest trend &#151; demand &#151; is currently moving down. Three
other trends &#151; strength of balance sheet, gross margins and customer retention &#151; are
moving up. From where we sit today, we believe the net impact of these four trends will be
slightly positive through the second quarter, and perhaps into the third. We also believe
that we have sufficient latitude financially and operationally to adjust to moderate
fluctuations in either direction as the year progresses. As with 2008, we do not anticipate
the need for layoffs or restructuring charges to balance internal operations with external
demand.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We usually end these reports by thanking our stockholders, employees and business partners
for their support. This time it&#146;s appropriate to thank our customers first. We appreciate
the extraordinary human and financial challenges presented by a sudden downturn in funding.
We lived through a similar experience several years ago, so we&#146;re dedicated to doing
whatever we can to help educators get through this difficult period. We understand that the
first duty of teachers is to teach, and that furniture is only a tool. When the right
answer is service as opposed to a sale, we understand that as well and we&#146;ll respond just as
promptly.
