Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ------------------------------------------ In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of SeptemberDecember 2, 2000 and August 28,November 27, 1999, the results of operations for the three months and sixnine months ended SeptemberDecember 2, 2000 and August 28,November 27, 1999 and cash flows for the sixnine months ended SeptemberDecember 2, 2000 and August 28,November 27, 1999. The financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements and notes.

As explained in note 5, the Company's curtainwall contracting and detention/security contracting businesses are reported as discontinued operations, along with the Company's interest in VIS'N Service Corporation. Accordingly, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to February 28. Each interim quarter ends on the Saturday closest to the end of the months of May, August and November.

6 4. Investments in Affiliates -------------------------Affiliated Companies ----------------------------------- The Company's joint ventures are accounted for by the equity method. The nature and extent of these investments change over time. On July 29, 2000, the Company and PPG Industries (PPG) combined their U.S. automotive replacement glass distribution businesses into a newly formed entity, PPG Auto Glass, LLC (PPG Auto Glass) of which the Company has a 34 percent interest. As of SeptemberDecember 2, 2000, the Company's investment in PPG Auto Glass is $30.8 million, the majority of which is an inventory contribution by the Company of $28.6$33.0 million. The Company's share of earnings will be recorded beginning in PPG Auto Glass for the third quarter.quarter, net of taxes and transaction costs, was $2.3 million. The Company's investment in TerraSun LLC relates to a research and development venture. No dividends from investments in affiliates were paid in the secondthird quarter. Included in the carrying amount of PPG Auto Glass, LLC is $9.1 million, representing the unamortized excess of the cost of the investment over the value of the underlying net tangible assets of PPG Auto Glass, LLC when the investment was acquired. This excess is being amortized over a weighted average life of 20 years. Provision has been made for taxes that will become payable when the accrued, undistributed earnings of TerraSun, LLC and PPG Auto Glass, LLC are remitted. 5. Discontinued Operations ----------------------- In fiscal 2000, Apogee's Board of Directors authorized the exit from the Company's interest in VIS'N Service Corporation (VIS'N), a non-auto glass focused, third partythird-party administered claims processor. In October and November 2000, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of VIS'N in two separate transactions. In fiscal 1999, Apogee's Board of Directors authorized the divestiture of the detention/security and domestic curtainwall operations. In December 1998, the Company executed the sale of its detention/security business. In May 1999, the Company completed the sale of 100% of the stock of its large-scale domestic curtainwall business, Harmon, Ltd. The sale of Harmon, Ltd. and the Company's detention/security business combined with the fiscal 1998 exit from international curtainwall operations effectively removed the Company from the large-scale construction business. Accordingly, these businesses are presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements and notes. Prior periods have been restated. At SeptemberDecember 2, 2000, accruals totaling $22.6$24.2 million represented the remaining estimated (net) future cash outflows associated with the exit from discontinued operations compared with $21.3 million at February 26, 2000. The majority of these cash expenditures areis expected to be made within the next one to twofive years. The primary components of the accrualaccruals relate to the completion of certain construction projects, as well as costs to exit the VIS'N business, associated legal and advisory fees and related costs. The increase from February 26, 2000 is due to additional requirements for various international curtainwall operation items, offset by the collection of previously reserved receivables. 6. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities -------------------------------------- At SeptemberDecember 2, 2000, the Company had ongoing letters of credit related to its risk management programs, construction contracts and certain industrial development bonds. The total value of letters of credit under which the Company is obligated as of SeptemberDecember 2, 2000 was approximately $5.2$4.2 million. The Company has also entered into a number of noncompete agreements for the benefit of the Company. As of SeptemberDecember 2, 2000, we were committed to make future payments of $2.6$1.6 million under such agreements. 7 The Company has been party to various legal proceedings incidental to its normal operating activities. In particular, the construction businesses discontinued by the Company are involved in various disputes retained by the Company arising out of construction projects, sometimes involving significant monetary damages. Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of such proceedings, the Company believes, based on facts currently available to it, that none of such claims will result in losses that would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition. 7 7.

8. New Accounting Standards -------------------------------------------------- In June 1998, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, was issued and, as amended by SFAS No. 137 and 138, is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, although earlier application is permitted. SFAS No. 133 requires all derivatives to be measured at fair value and recognized as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of derivatives should be recognized in either net earnings or other comprehensive earnings, depending on the designated purpose of the derivative. The Company expects to adopt SFAS 133 in Fiscal 2002. SFAS No. 133 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- of Operations - ------------- The following selected financial data should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended February 26, 2000 and the consolidated financial statements, including the notes to consolidated financial statements, included therein. Sales and Earnings - ------------------ Net sales for the secondthird quarter ended SeptemberDecember 2, 2000 were $236.4$197.3 million, a 9% increase2% decrease over the $217.0$201.1 million reported for the prior year secondthird quarter. SecondRevenues for the third quarter rose 10% compared to last year, after being adjusted for the formation of the PPG Auto Glass joint venture. Third quarter earnings from continuing operations of $4.2$3.0 million, or 15 cents$.11 per share diluted, were 21% lower$7.9 million higher than last year's $5.3loss of $5.0 million, or 19 cents$.18 per share diluted. Auto glass distribution results are included for two months in the currentPrior year second quarter compared to three months in the prior year second quarter due to the formation of the joint venture with PPG Industries (PPG). Also, prior year secondthird quarter net sales have been restated to reflect the planned exit of the Company's interest in VIS'N Service Corporation (VIS'N).VIS'N. Accordingly, the results of this business, along with the Company's detention/security and international and domestic curtainwall operations, are reported as discontinued operations. The results of the Auto Glass distribution unit are not included in current quarterly results from continuing operations as they were in the prior year third quarter due to the formation of the joint venture with PPG.

SecondThird quarter consolidated gross profit, as a percentage of net sales was 19.9%20.9%, downup from 21.0%15.2% in the prior year secondthird quarter due to a decrease atimproved performance in both Glass Technologies and Glass Services resulting primarily from transitional changes in mix resulting from the joint venture with PPGsegments. This improved performance was attributable to improved manufacturing performance within Glass Technologies and improved pricing and improved margins as well as cost reductions within Glass Services. These improvements were offset by an improvement at Glass Technologies. In addition, gross margin was affected by favorable underwriting activity in the prior year second quarter at the Company'sadditional insurance subsidiary and additionalrelated expenses in the current year quarter related to health insurance. Secondyear. Third quarter selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses rose by $2.9$1.1 million, or 9%3% over the prior year quarter, while SG&A as a percentpercentage of sales remained unchanged.increased from 17.3% to 18.2%. The increase in expenses is primarily due to timing of accruals related to bonuses, an increase in depreciation incurred due mainly to information systems capitalized in the prior year, offset by a decrease in selling and marketing expenses.timing of accruals related to bonuses. Net interest expense increased slightly during the quarter as lower borrowing levels were offset by higher borrowing rates. The six-monthnine-month effective income tax rate of 35.0% was down slightly from 36.0%consistent with a year ago. 9 The following table presents sales and operating income for the Company's two segments and on a consolidated basis for three and sixnine months compared to the corresponding periods a year ago.

The increase in operating income is due to favorable results at Viracon, Viratec the Apogee Wausau Group (AWG), and Tru Vue, offset by a decrease in operating results at Viracon.the Apogee Wausau Group (AWG). Viracon, the segment's largest operating unit, reported a net sales increase of 13%, however,28% and a significant increase in operating income decreased for the quarter compared to last year's secondthird quarter. Customer demand for Viracon's high-performance architectural glass products remained strong and the Statesboro facilityunit has increased its capacity utilization compared to the prior year quarter. Strong demand in certain products, however, changed Viracon'sViracon successfully addressed its product mix whichissue that contributed to decreased efficiencies as well as extended delivery times resulting in the income decrease. In addition, the operating income decrease was also affected by increases in labor costs, a prior year second quarter insurance adjustmentand which were expected to slow shipments the second half of the year. These improvements were offset by increased labor and an increase in depreciation expense due to prior year capital additions. Backlog at SeptemberDecember 2, 2000 remained at a near-record levelslevel of $45$41 million. The product mix issues discussed above are expected to slow profitability growth in the second half of fiscal 2001. Viratec reported an increase in sales and operating income for the quarter compared to last year's secondthird quarter due to improved operational efficiencies. As the PC industry softens, the Company expects a significant decline in revenues from computer CRT-related coatings at its San Diego facility in the first quarter of next fiscal year. The Company is evaluating other potential products and applications for this facility. Tru Vue recorded a sales increase of 20%26% and ana solid operating income increase of 11% for the quarter as compared to last year's secondthird quarter due to continued increased operational efficiencies and demand for Tru Vue's higher margin, value-added glass products. Also, in the secondthird quarter, Tru Vue completed the acquisition of Balangier FineCorporate Art & Designs (Balangier)Services, Inc., (Corporate Art) the operating results of which were not significant to the quarter. BalangierCorporate Art produces high-end framed art for national retail customers, expanding Tru Vue's pre-framedpre- framed art business. The Apogee Wausau Group (AWG), which consists of Wausau Window & Wall Systems and Linetec, reported a sales increasedecrease of 14%11% and ana significant operating income increase of 33%decrease for the quarter as compared to the same quarter a year ago due to increased efficiencies and sales volume increases. However, due to product mix issues,ago. Wausau Window & Wall Systems has been unablecontinues to experience a slowdown in shipments, due to its inability to fill its available short lead-time capacity incapacity. This trend is expected to continue throughout the second half of fiscal 2001.fourth quarter. 10 Glass Services (GS) - ------------------- Net sales of Glass Services increased 2%decreased 15% to $134.0$97.8 million in the secondthird quarter. Operating income for the segment decreased 11% to $6.0 million from the prior year quarter. The auto glass business reported a 3% decrease inNet sales grew 5% compared to the priorthird quarter of last year, quarter, in addition to an operating income decrease due mainly to the activity of the distribution unit discussed below. Net sales of the auto glass retail unit decreased slightly compared with those of a year ago. Retail unit volume also decreased offset by unit price increases. Operating resultsafter being adjusted for the auto glass retail unit increased due to an increase in gross margin and a decrease in expenses. Net sales of the manufacturing unit increased slightly, however, operating income was down. Net sales and operating income for the distribution unit decreased compared to the prior year quarter. This decrease is due mainly to distribution results of two months in the current year second quarter versus three months in the prior year second quarter with the formation of thePPG Auto Glass joint venture, with PPG. The joint venturewhich combines the Company's and PPG's U.S. automotive replacement glass distribution businesses into a newly formed entity, PPG Auto Glass, LLC, with the Company having a 34% ownership interest in the joint venture. InOperating income for the second halfsegment increased 85% from the prior year quarter. The auto glass business reported a 27% decrease in sales compared to the prior year quarter. This decrease is due to distribution results not being included in the current year third quarter with the formation of fiscal 2001,the joint venture with PPG, as compared to three months' performance in the prior year third quarter. Operating income for the auto glass business is expectingdecreased for the same reason. Net sales of the auto glass retail unit decreased 3% compared with those of a slight improvementyear ago due, in operatingpart, to soft demand for auto replacement glass services. The retail unit volume decrease was offset by unit price increases. Operating results for the auto glass retail unit increased due to continued cost reductions.an increase in gross margin and a decrease in total costs. During the quarter, 122 jobs were eliminated through layoffs and position eliminations, year-to-date, 26 underperforming stores, or 8% of its retail locations have been closed and call center operations were transitioned to APAC Customer Services, Inc. as part of the Company's initiative to improve customer service and lower costs. Net sales of the manufacturing unit decreased; however, operating income improved. Harmon, Inc., the Company's full service building glass installation and repair business, reported a 25%22% increase in net sales and 43%a significant increase in operating income for the quarter as compared to the prior year quarter, mainly due to increased volume and improved margins. 10 At December 2, 2000, backlog at Harmon, Inc. was at a record level of $67.0 million. Discontinued Operations - ----------------------- In fiscal 2000, Apogee's Board of Directors authorized the exit from the Company's interest in VIS'N Service Corporation (VIS'N), a non-auto glass focused, third party administered claims processor. In October and November, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of VIS'N in two separate transactions. In fiscal 1999, Apogee's Board of Directors authorized the divestiture of the detention/security and domestic curtainwall operations. In December 1998, the segmentCompany executed the sale of its detention/security business. In May 1999, the Company completed the sale of 100% of the stock of its large-scale domestic curtainwall business, Harmon, Ltd. The sale of Harmon, Ltd. and the Company's detention/security business combined with the fiscal 1998 exit from international curtainwall operations effectively removed the Company from the large-scale construction business. Accordingly, these businesses are presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements and notes. Prior periods have been restated. Backlog - ------- On SeptemberDecember 2, 2000, the Company's consolidated backlog was $196.7$193.0 million, up 13%8% from the $174.8$178.4 million reported a year ago. The backlogs of GT's operations represented 67%66% of the Company's consolidated backlog. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- Financial Condition - ------------------- Net cash provided by operating activities Cash provided by operating activities for the sixnine months ended SeptemberDecember 2, 2000 totaled $28.7$48.5 million compared to $38.9$25.5 million in the same prior year period. The decrease is due to the change in accruals for discontinued operations, a decrease in net earnings and increased depreciation expense. Also, changesChanges in operating assets and liabilities provided cash of $3.9$11.2 million, compared to $1.4usage of $13.5 million in the same period last year, the increase due mainly to an increase inreduced levels of accounts receivable and inventory and increased levels of accounts payable and accrued expenses offset by an increase in receivables.liabilities. At quarter-end, working capital was $45.0$38.5 million, down from $79.0 million at February 26, 2000. This decrease is largely due to the $28.6 million inventory contribution to the joint venture with PPG. 11 Net cash used in investing activities Net cash used in investing activities for the sixnine months ended SeptemberDecember 2, 2000 was $8.3$13.6 million compared to $34.8$42.1 million in the same prior year period. The decrease is due mainly to a decrease in capital expenditures. Prior year capital expenditures consisted mainly of GT expansions and expenditures for information systems projects throughout the Company. For fiscal 2001, the Company expects to incur capital expenditures as necessary to maintain existing facilities and information systems. Fiscal 2001 capital expenditures are expected to be significantly less than those incurred in fiscal 2000. Net cash provided by financing activities Bank borrowings were $146.4$132.5 million at SeptemberDecember 2, 2000, down from the $164.6 million outstanding at February 26, 2000. Cash provided by operating activities was sufficient to finance the period's investing activities and cash dividend requirements. Dividends paid through December 2, 2000 are $4.4 million. At SeptemberDecember 2, 2000, long-term debt was 51%44% of total capitalization, as compared to 54% at fiscal year-end 2000. Effective June 1, 2000, the Company amended its revolving credit agreement in conjunction with a pending joint venture with PPG that subsequently closed in July 2000. The amendment resulted in a decrease in borrowing capacity from $253 million to $200 million. The Company anticipates outstanding borrowings to continue to decline over the course of the year. The Company believes that cash from operating activities and the available credit facility will provide adequate liquidity for the remainder of the fiscal year. Shareholders' Equity - -------------------- At SeptemberDecember 2, 2000, Apogee's shareholders' equity was $142.1$143.9 million. Book value per share was $5.11,$5.17, up from $4.97 per share at February 26, 2000, with outstanding common shares increasing 11 nominally during the period. Net earnings and proceeds from common stock issued in connection with the Company's stock-basedstock- based compensation plans accounted for the increase, slightly reduced by regular quarterly dividends paid.paid of $.0525 per share. Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk - ------------------------------------------------------------------- The Company's principal market risk is sensitivity to interest rates, which is the risk that changes in interest rates will reduce net earnings of the Company. To manage the Company's direct risk from changes in market interest rates, management actively monitors the interest sensitive components of the Company's balance sheet, primarily debt obligations, as well as market interest rates in order to minimize the impact of changes in interest rates on net earnings and cash flow. The primary measure of interest rate risk is the simulation of net income under different interest rate environments. The approach used to quantify interest rate risk is a sensitivity analysis. This approach calculates the impact on net earnings, relative to a base case scenario, of rates increasing or decreasing gradually over the next 12 months by 200 basis points. The aforementioned changes in interest rates affecting the Company's financial instruments would result in approximately a $1.4 million impact to net earnings. As interest rates increase, net earnings decrease; as interest rates decrease, net earnings increase. The Company uses interest swaps to fix a portion of its variable rate borrowings from fluctuations in interest rates. As of SeptemberDecember 2, 2000, the Company has interest swaps covering $35 million of variable rate debt. The Company has a policy of using forward exchange contracts to hedge its net exposures, by currency, related to the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities, and future firm commitments of its operations. Forward exchange contracts are also used from time to time to manage near-term foreign currency cash requirements. The primary objective of these hedging activities is to maintain an approximately balanced position in foreign currencies so that exchange gains and losses resulting from exchange rate changes, net of related tax effects, are minimized. 12 Given the Company's balanced foreign exchange position described above, a 10% adverse change in foreign exchange rates upon which these contracts are based would result in exchange losses from these contracts that would, in all material respects, be fully offset by exchange gains on the underlying net monetary exposures for which the contracts are designated as hedges. As of SeptemberDecember 2, 2000, the Company did not have any forward contracts outstanding as the Company had no material foreign exchange exposure.
