1.Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (we, us, our or the Company) included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (Form 10-Q) and do not contain certain information included in the Company’s annual financial statements and notes. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended February 27, 2010.26, 2011. The results of operations for the three and nine-month periodsthree-month period ended November 27, 2010,May 28, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of November 27, 2010May 28, 2011 and February 27, 2010,26, 2011, and the results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended November 27, 2010 and November 28, 2009 and cash flows for the nine-monththree-month periods ended November 27, 2010May 28, 2011 and November 28, 2009.

The results of Glassec Vidros de Seguranca Ltda. (Glassec), which the Company acquired on November 19, 2010, have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 7 for further information regarding the acquisition of Glassec and its treatment in the consolidated financial statements.May 29, 2010.

The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to the last day of February. Each interim quarter ends on the Saturday closest to the end of the months of May, August and November.

The results of GlassecViracon are reported on a two-month lag. There were no significant intervening events at GlassecViracon which would have materially affected our consolidated financial statements had they been recorded during the three months ended May 28, 2011.

In connection with preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the ninethree months ended November 27, 2010,May 28, 2011, the Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date of this filing and determined that there were no subsequent events which required recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

2. New Accounting Standards

In June 2009, the FASB amended U.S. GAAP with respect to the consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs). These amendments, among other things: change existing guidance for determining whether an entity is a VIE; require ongoing reassessments of whether an entity is the primary beneficiary of a VIE; and require enhanced disclosures about an entity’s involvement in a VIE. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009, the Company’s fiscal 2011. The Company adopted the amended requirements for consolidation of VIEs as of the beginning of fiscal 2011, which had no impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

2.New Accounting Standards

In January 2010, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board amended U.S. GAAP with respect to disclosures about fair value measurements for financial assets and liabilities.measurements. The amendments add new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2, and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. See Note 6, Financial Assets, for a definition of these terms. The amendments arewere effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of the additional disclosures required for Level 1 and Level 23 fair value measurements asin the first quarter of May 29, 2010,fiscal 2012 had no impact on the Company’s fair value disclosures. The Company will adopt Level 3 disclosures beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.(see Note 6).

No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the first ninethree months of fiscal 20112012 have had or are expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Partnership Plan

The Amended and Restated 1987 Partnership Plan (the Partnership Plan), a plan designed to increase the ownership of Apogee stock by key employees, allowed participants selected by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors to defer earned incentive compensation through the purchase of Apogee common stock. The purchased stock was then matched by an equal award of nonvested shares, which vested over a predetermined period. This program was eliminated for fiscal 2006 and beyond, although vesting of nonvested shares will still occur according to the vesting period of the grants made prior to fiscal 2006.

Executive Compensation Program

In fiscal 2006, the Company implemented an executive compensation program to provide for a greater portion of total compensation to be delivered to key employees selected by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors through long-term incentives using performance shares, SARs and nonvested shares. From fiscal 2006 through fiscal 2009, performancePerformance shares werehave been issued at the beginning of each fiscal year in the form of nonvested share awards. Starting in fiscal 2010, the Company issued performance shares in the form of nonvested share unit awards, which give the recipient the right to receive shares earned at the vesting date. The number of shares or share units issued at grant is equal to the target number of performance shares and allows for the right to receive an additional number of, or fewer, shares based on meeting pre-determined Company three-year performance goals.

6. Financial Assets

6.Financial Assets

The Company accounts for financial assets and liabilities in accordance with accounting standards that define fair value and establish a framework for measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset’s or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

As a result, the consolidated results of operations and statement of cash flows at November 27, 2010, do not include the earnings or cash flows of Glassec. The pro forma impact of Glassec was not significant to the Company’s results for the three and nine-month periods ended November 27, 2010.

The estimated assets and liabilities of Glassec were recorded in the consolidated balance sheet within the Architectural segment at November 27, 2010. The preliminary purchase price allocation was based on estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and included total assets of $30.7 million, including estimated goodwill of $6.2 million and estimated intangibles of $6.2 million, and total liabilities of $9.2 million, including long-term debt of $1.2 million. Because the acquisition was completed near quarter-end, all balances recorded are estimated amounts; the purchase price allocation will be finalized subsequent to the third quarter as the valuation of identifiable assets and liabilities is completed.

8. Goodwill and Other Identifiable Intangible Assets

The Company tests the goodwill of each of its reporting units for impairment annually or more frequently if indicators exist that would suggest that goodwill could be impaired in accordance with accounting standards. During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company’s market capitalization was below net book value, which is considered a possible impairment indicator. Accordingly, the Company performed an analysis of each of its reporting units and assessed goodwill for possible impairment. Based on the results of this analysis, management concluded that the fair value of each of its reporting units continues to exceed its carrying value and thus further analysis of goodwill was not required as of November 27, 2010. The Company will update this analysis for any changes in fair value assumptions or carrying amounts during its annual impairment test conducted during the fourth quarter.

The carrying amount of goodwill net of accumulated amortization, attributable to each business segment as of the ninethree months ended November 27, 2010,May 28, 2011, is detailed below, including estimated goodwill for the Glassec acquisition.below.

The credit facility requires the Company to maintain a minimum level of net worth as defined in the credit facility based on certain quarterly financial calculations. The minimum required net worth computed in accordance with the credit agreement at November 27, 2010,May 28, 2011 was $270.8$267.1 million,

11


whereas the Company’s net worth as defined in the credit facility was $332.9$323.4 million. The credit facility also requires that the Company maintain a debt-to-cash flowan adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio of nonot more than 2.75. This ratio is computed daily,quarterly, with cash flowEBITDA computed on a rolling 12-monthfour-quarter basis. For purposes of calculating the adjusted debt in the adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio, the Company reduces non-credit facility debt for up to $25 million to the extent of unrestricted cash balances, cash equivalents and short-term investments in excess of $15 million. The Company’s ratio was 1.540.00 at November 27, 2010.May 28, 2011. If the Company is not in compliance with either of these covenants, the lenderlenders may terminate the commitment and/or declare any loan then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, $12.0 million of recovery zone facility bonds were issued and made available for future investment in the Company’s architectural glass fabrication facility in Utah. Interest on the bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income and alternative minimum tax purposes. The interest rate on the bonds resets weekly and is equal to the market rate of interest earned for similar revenue bonds or other tax-free securities. The bonds will mature on April 1, 2035. The proceeds are reported as restricted investments in the consolidated balance sheet until disbursed; $0.2 million was disbursed during the nine-month period.

At February 27, 2010, long-term debt consisted of just the $8.4 million of industrial development bonds. The industrial development and recovery zone facility bonds mature in fiscal years 2021 through 2036.2036, and the other debt matures in fiscal years 2012 through 2021.

Interest payments were $0.4$0.2 million and $0.7$0.1 million for the nine-monththree-month periods ended November 27,May 28, 2011 and May 29, 2010, and November 28, 2009, respectively.

Highlights of Third-Quarter and First Nine-Months ofFirst-Quarter Fiscal 20112012 Compared to Third-Quarter and First Nine-Months ofFirst-Quarter Fiscal 20102011

 

Consolidated net sales decreased $32.6increased $10.3 million, or 18.17.2 percent, for the thirdfirst quarter ended November 27, 2010,May 28, 2011, compared to the prior-year period,period. The primary increase in the quarter was due to the addition of the GlassecViracon business, which accounted for 5.0 percentage points of the increase. We also grew the window and decreased $113.2 million, or 20.7 percent, for the nine-month period. Our architectural segment continues to be negatively impacted by the challenging commercial construction market conditions which have resulted in lower demand, driving lowerstorefront businesses and had increased volume across all business lines, and lower pricing, primarily in our architecturalpicture framing business, more than offsetting declines in glass business.fabrication exports.

 

Gross profit as a percent of sales for the quarter ended November 27, 2010 decreasedMay 28, 2011, increased to 15.715.4 percent from 24.813.2 percent in the prior-year period, a decreasean increase of 9.12.2 percentage points. For the nine-month period, gross profit as a percent of sales was 13.8 percent, a decrease of 10.7 percentage points from the prior-year period. The decreasesincrease in gross margins were largelywas primarily due to the lower pricing, primarilymargin impact from revenue growth in the window and storefront businesses, and a strong mix of value-added products in our architectural glasspicture framing business, as well aspartially offset by lower project margins, the impact of low capacity utilization from lower volume in our architectural segment, and our inability to lower our fixed cost base at the rate of declining sales. During the third quarter of the current year, gross profit was positively impacted by a net benefit of approximately $0.9 million, or 0.6 percentage points, resulting from recoveries of costs incurredmargin work in the second and third quarters to resolve architectural glass product quality issues from a vendor-supplied material. For the nine-month period, gross profit was negatively impacted by approximately $1.1 million, or 0.3 percentage points, of net expenses incurred related to this issue.installation business.

ForThe $2.1 million increase in spending primarily relates to the nine-month period, selling, generalimpact of the addition of the GlassecViracon business. Increased commissions and administrativeadvertising expenses were down $13.7 million from the prior period but were up as a percentresult of net sales by 1.1 percentage points over the prior-year period. The decrease in spending for both the quarter and the nine-month periods relates to reduced accruals for incentive and long-term executive compensation expenses, and lower spending on consulting and other discretionary items as we focused on cost management. The nine-month period was also impacted by lowerincreasing sales and marketing expenses, and reduced salaries and employee-related expenses duebacklog also contributed to headcount reductions. Thethe increase as a percent of sales was largely due to our inability to leverage expenses over a lower level of sales dollars.

In the third quarter, our tax benefit from the net loss was more than offset by discrete tax expenses primarily related to certain outstanding state audits that had a negative impact during the quarter.

Earnings from discontinued operations for the year reflect favorable resolution of an outstanding tax exposure related to a foreign operation discontinued in 1998 that provided non-cash income from discontinued operations of $4.9 million. This compares to income of $0.3 million in the prior-year nine-month period resulting from a favorable resolution of an outstanding lease claim.spending.

Due to the varying combinations of individual window systems and curtainwall, the Company has determined that it is impractical to report product and service revenues generated by the Architectural segment by class of product, beyond the segment revenues currently reported.

Third-quarterFirst-quarter net sales of $125.7$135.3 million decreased 20.5increased 7.1 percent fromover the prior-year period, primarily due to the addition of GlassecViracon, as well as increased revenues in the window and net salesstorefront businesses as a result of $379.4 million for the nine-month period decreased 23.4 percent from the prior-year period. The rates of declinegrowth in net sales for both the quarter and year-to-date periods are comparable to our markets served. We continue to be impacted by difficult U.S. commercial construction market conditions, with depressed employment levels and high vacancy rates for commercial buildings. Volume and pricing decreased across the architectural businesses, with our architecturalshare, which more than offset declines in glass business significantly impacted by lower pricing.fabrication exports.

 

The segment incurred an operatingOperating loss of $8.4was $7.1 million in the current quarter, compared to operating income of $9.6 million in the prior-year quarter. For the nine-month period, the segment incurred an operating loss of $27.8 million compared to operating income of $35.2$8.6 million in the prior-year period. LowerThe lower operating loss in the current year as compared to the prior year was due to the margin impact of revenue growth in the window and storefront businesses, offset by lower margin work in the installation business. The quarter loss was driven by low pricing in ouron architectural glass business, along with lower project margins and lower volume throughoutfabrication projects bid at the segment, negatively impacted bothbottom of the quarter and nine-month periods of fiscal 2011. The current-year quarter was positively impacted by a net benefit of approximately $0.9 million, or 0.7 percentage points, resulting from recoveries of costs incurred in the second and third quarters to resolvecommercial construction cycle as well as low architectural glass product quality issues from a vendor-supplied material. For the nine-month period, the segment was negatively impacted by approximately $1.1 million, or 0.3 percentage points, of net expenses incurred related to this issue.capacity utilization.

 

Architectural backlog at November 27, 2010, decreasedMay 28, 2011 increased to $165.7$247.0 million from $246.4$214.9 million in the prior-year period and from $193.0$237.2 million reported at the end of the second quarter.fiscal 2011. Bidding activity remainshas remained solid; however, bid-to-award and contract timing continues to be slow. Although backlog declined from the second quarter, the dollar value of awarded projects awaiting final signed contracts increased by more than $20 million from the second quarter. This work is primarily scheduled for fiscal 2012. Reduced lead times for smaller architectural glass and standard window projects, as well as the quick turns required for many of the international jobs, are resulting in a higher proportion of book-and-bill work, which is not reflected in backlog. We expect approximately $87$175 million of the November 27, 2010May 28, 2011, backlog to flow during the remainder of fiscal 2011.2012.

Consolidated Backlog

 

At November 27, 2010,May 28, 2011, our consolidated backlog was $168.2$248.4 million, down 33.3up 14.6 percent fromover the prior-year period and down 14.0up 4.2 percent compared to the $195.5$238.4 million reported at the end of the second quarter.fiscal 2011.

 

The backlog of the Architectural segment represented more than 9899 percent of consolidated backlog.

 

We view backlog as an important statistic in evaluating the level of sales activity and short-term sales trends in our business. However, as backlog is only one indicator, and is not an effective indicator of our ultimate profitability, we do not believe that backlog should be used as the sole indicator of future earnings of the Company.

Goodwill

We evaluate the goodwill on our balance sheet annually or more frequently if indicators exist that would suggest that goodwill could be impaired in accordance with accounting standards. During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, our market capitalization was below net book value, which is considered a possible impairment indicator. Accordingly, we performed an analysis of each of our reporting units to assess goodwill for possible impairment. Based on the results of this analysis, we concluded that the fair value of each of our reporting units continues to exceed its carrying value and thus further analysis of goodwill was not required as of November 27, 2010.

In connection with completing this analysis during the third quarter of fiscal 2011, we determined that the fair values of our architectural glass and storefront and entrance businesses did not exceed their carrying values by a significant amount. Goodwill for these reporting units was $24.2 million and $21.7 million, respectively, at November 27, 2010. As part of our step one process for determining the estimated fair value of our reporting units, we make several

assumptions, including our earnings and cash flow projections and discount rate, each of which have a significant impact on these values. For our architectural glass business, if cash flow projections decreased by 1.8 percent or if the discount rate, currently estimated at 14.0 percent, was 0.2 percentage points higher, we would have failed step one of the impairment test for this reporting unit, requiring a step two analysis. Likewise, for our storefront and entrance business, if cash flow projections decreased by 7.6 percent or if the discount rate, currently estimated at 14.0 percent, was 0.8 percentage points higher, we would have failed step one of the impairment test for this reporting unit, requiring a step two analysis

We continue to monitor our market capitalization, along with other operational performance measures and general economic conditions. Our assumptions include pricing increases that we initiated in fiscal 2011 impacting the fiscal 2012 architectural glass business and a recovery of the commercial construction markets in fiscal 2013, consistent with external data we have historically considered for this testing. The inability to gain market acceptance of our price increases and/or a significant downward trend in the market factors could cause us to reduce the estimated fair value of some or all of our reporting units and recognize a corresponding impairment of our goodwill in connection with a future goodwill impairment test. We will update this analysis for any changes in fair value assumptions or carrying amounts during our annual impairment test conducted during the fourth quarter

Acquisition

On November 19, 2010, we acquired 100 percent of the stock of Glassec Vidros de Seguranca Ltda. (Glassec), a privately held business, for $21.2 million, net of cash acquired of $0.6 million. Glassec is a leading architectural glass fabricator in Brazil and have estimated annual sales of approximately $30 million with margins consistent with our Architectural segment. The business is called Glassec Viracon and operates as part of our architectural glass business. Glassec’s fiscal year ends December 31 and will be reported in the consolidated financial statements on a two-month lag. As a result, the consolidated results of operations and statement of cash flows at November 27, 2010, do not include the earnings or cash flows of Glassec.

The estimated assets and liabilities of Glassec were recorded in the consolidated balance sheet within the Architectural segment at November 27, 2010. The preliminary purchase price allocation was based on estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and included total assets of $30.7 million, including estimated goodwill of $6.2 million and estimated intangibles of $6.2 million, and total liabilities of $9.2 million, including long-term debt of $1.2 million. Because the acquisition was completed near quarter-end, all balances recorded are estimated amounts; the purchase price allocation will be finalized subsequent to the third quarter as the valuation of identifiable assets and liabilities is completed.

Discontinued Operations

In several transactions in fiscal years 1998 through 2000, we completed the sale of our large-scale domestic curtainwall business, the sale of our detention/security business and the exit from international curtainwall operations. In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we paid $3.0 million for resolution of an outstanding legal claim related to a foreign discontinued operation, which was fully reserved in discontinued operations at the end of fiscal 2011. The remaining estimated cash expenditures related to these discontinued operations are recorded as liabilities of discontinued operations and a majority of the remaining cash expenditures related to discontinued operations is expected to be paid within the next three years. The majority of these liabilities relate to the international curtainwall operations, including bonds outstanding, of which the precise degree of liability related to these matters will not be known until they are settled within the U.K. courts. The reserve for discontinued operations also coverscover warranty issues relating to thesedomestic and other international construction projects.

Duringprojects that we expect to be resolved over the second quarter of fiscal 2011, favorable resolution of an outstanding tax exposure related to a foreign operation discontinued in 1998 provided non-cash income from discontinued operations of $4.9 million. During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, a favorable resolution of an outstanding lease claim resulted in income from discontinued operations of $0.3 million.next five years.

Investing Activities.Through the first ninethree months of fiscal 2011,2012, investing activities used $11.3provided $10.5 million of cash, compared to $21.8cash used of $15.5 million in the same period last year. The current quarter included $10.3 million in proceeds from the sale and leaseback of equipment. New capital investments through the first ninethree months of fiscal 20112012 totaled $7.5$1.6 million, down slightly from $7.7$2.1 million in the prior-year period. Both current and prior-year spending were primarily for safety and maintenance project expenditures, as well as quick pay-back productivity improvements. The prior year included purchases of restricted investments of $11.8 million were related to the funds received as a result of the recovery zone facility bonds that were made available for future investment in our architectural glass fabrication facility in Utah. The net position of our investments for the nine-monththree-month period resulted in $29.0$2.6 million in net salessale proceeds as we sold investments to fund current operating activities, versus $14.3$1.7 million in net purchases in the prior year. This change in our investment position was due to activities to increase the amount of investments in cash equivalents in the current year to fund the acquisition of Glassec.

During the current-year quarter, we acquired 100 percent of the stock of Glassec, a privately held business, for $21.2 million, net of cash acquired of $0.6 million. Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contains further information regarding this acquisition.

We expect fiscal 2011 maintenance and safety related2012 capital expenditures to be less than $12 million. We will consider additional strategic capital expenditures during$20 million, primarily for maintenance and safety related spend.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2011.2012, we invested in corporate-owned life insurance policies (COLI) of $1.4 million with the intention of utilizing them as a long-term funding source for our deferred compensation plan.

We continue to review our portfolio of businesses and their assets in comparison to our internal strategic and performance objectives. As part of this review, we may acquire other businesses, further invest in, fully divest and/or sell parts of our current businesses.

Financing Activities.Total outstanding borrowings at November 27, 2010,May 28, 2011, were $23.5$22.3 million compared to $8.4$22.4 million as of February 27, 201026, 2011 and November$20.4 million as of May 29, 2010.

We maintain an $80.0 million revolving credit facility, which expires in January 2014. No borrowings were outstanding as of May 28, 2011 or February 26, 2011. The credit facility requires that we maintain a minimum level of net worth as defined in the credit facility based on certain quarterly financial calculations. The minimum required net worth computed in accordance with the credit agreement at May 28, 2011 was $267.1 million, whereas our net worth as defined in the credit facility was $323.4 million. The credit facility also requires that we maintain an adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio of not more than 2.75. This ratio is computed quarterly, with EBITDA computed on a rolling four-quarter basis. For purposes of calculating the adjusted debt in the adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio, we reduce non-credit facility debt for up to 2.4 percent$25 million to the extent of unrestricted cash balances, cash equivalents and short-term investments in excess of $15 million. Our ratio was 0.00 at February 27, 2010.May 28, 2011. If we are not in compliance with either of these covenants, the lenders may terminate the commitment and/or declare any loan then outstanding to be immediately due and payable. At May 28, 2011, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of the credit facility.

We did not pay any dividends during the first quarter of either fiscal 2012 or 2011. This was due to the timing of quarterly dividend payments; although declared, no payments were made in either quarter.

During fiscal 2004, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of 1,500,000 shares of common stock. The Board of Directors increased this authorization by 750,000 shares in January 2008 and by 1,000,000 in October 2008. There were no share repurchases during the first ninethree months of fiscal 20112012 or during fiscal 2010.2011. We have purchased a total of 2,004,123 shares, at a total cost of $27.3 million, since the inception of this program. We have remaining authority to repurchase 1,245,877 shares under this program, which has no expiration date.

We maintain a $100.0 million revolving credit facility, which expires in November 2011. No borrowings were outstanding as of November 27, 2010. The credit facility requires that we maintain a minimum level of net worth as defined in the credit facility based on certain quarterly financial calculations. The minimum required net worth computed in accordance with the credit agreement at November 27, 2010, was $270.8 million, whereas our net worth as defined in the credit facility was $332.9 million. The credit facility also requires that we maintain a debt-to-cash flow ratio of no more than 2.75. This ratio is computed daily, with cash flow computed on a rolling 12-month basis. Our ratio was 1.54 at November 27, 2010. If we are not in compliance with either of these covenants, the lender may terminate the commitment and/or declare any loan then outstanding to be immediately due and payable. At November 27, 2010, we were in compliance with all of the financial covenants of the credit facility.

We assumed debt of $3.1 million as part of the Glassec acquisition, of which $1.9 is recorded as the current maturity of long-term debt. The acquired debt matures in fiscal years 2011 through 2021 and has a weighted average interest rate of 9.5 percent.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, $12.0 million of recovery zone facility bonds were issued and made available for future investment in our architectural glass fabrication facility in Utah. Interest income on the bonds is excludable from gross income for federal income and alternative minimum tax purposes. The interest rate on the bonds resets weekly and is equal to the market rate of interest earned for similar revenue bonds or other tax-free securities. The bonds will mature on April 1, 2035. The proceeds are reported as restricted investments in the consolidated balance sheet until disbursed; $0.2 million was disbursed during the nine-month period.

Long-term debt at November 27, 2010, consists of $12.0 million of recovery zone facility bonds, $8.4 million of industrial development bonds and $1.2 million of debt assumed as part of the Glassec acquisition. At February 27, 2010, long-term debt consisted of the $8.4 million of industrial development bonds. The industrial development and recovery zone facility bonds mature in fiscal years 2021 through 2036.

From time to time, we acquire the use of certain assets, such as warehouses, automobiles, forklifts, vehicles, office equipment, hardware, software and some manufacturing equipment through operating leases. Many of these operating leases have termination penalties. However, because the assets are used in the conduct of our business operations, it is unlikely that any significant portion of these operating leases would be terminated prior to the normal expiration of their lease terms. Therefore, we consider the risk related to termination penalties to be minimal.

We have purchase obligations for raw material commitments and capital expenditures. As of November 27, 2010,May 28, 2011, these obligations totaled $14.7$11.0 million.

The other obligations in the table above relate to non-compete and consulting agreements with current and former employees.

We expect to make contributions of $0.6$0.5 million to our defined benefit pension plans in fiscal 2011. The fiscal 2011 expected contributions2012, which will equal or exceed our minimum funding requirements.

As of November 27, 2010,May 28, 2011, we had $11.7$11.8 million and $2.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits and environmental liabilities, respectively. We are unable to reasonably estimate in which future periods these amounts will ultimately be settled.

At November 27, 2010,May 28, 2011, we had ongoing letters of credit related to construction contracts and certain industrial development and recovery zone facility bonds. The Company’s $8.4 million of industrial revenue bonds are supported by $8.7 million of letters of credit that reduce availability of funds under our $100.0 million credit facility.credit. The $12.0 million of recovery zone facility bonds are supported by $12.3 million of letters of credit that reduce availability under our $100.0 million credit facility.credit.

In addition to the above standby letters of credit, which were predominantly issued for our industrial development and recovery zone facility bonds, we are required, in the ordinary course of business, to provide a surety or performance bond that commits payments to our customers for any non-performance by us. At November 27, 2010, $89.6May 28, 2011, $115.0 million of our backlog was bonded by performance bonds with a face value of $290.2$337.8 million. Performance bonds do not have stated expiration dates, as we are released from the bonds upon completion of the contract. We have never been required to pay on these performance-based bonds with respect to any of our current portfolio of businesses.

We self-insure our third-party product liability coverages. As a result, a material construction project rework event would have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

For fiscal 2011,2012, we believe that current cash on hand, cash generated from operating activities and available capacity under our committed revolving credit facility will be adequate to fund our working capital requirements, planned capital expenditures and dividend payments. We have total cash and unrestricted short-term investments of $46.4$18.6 million at May 28, 2011 and $76.8$80.0 million of available capacity under our revolving credit facility at November 27, 2010.facility. We believe that this will provide us with the financial strength to work through the ongoing weak market conditions and to focus on our growth strategy for the recovery.

Outlook

WeAlthough we continue to face an unprecedented level of uncertainty.uncertainty in our Architectural segment market, we believe we are at the bottom of the commercial construction cycle. The following statements are based on our current expectations for full-year fiscal 20112012 results. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially.

 

Overall revenues for the year are expected to be down approximately 17 percent, with fourth-quarter revenues comparable to the prior-year period.increase by at least 10 percent.

 

We anticipate a net lossbeing slightly profitable for the fourth quarter and full year.

 

Full-year maintenance capital expenditures are projected to be less than $12 million, excluding additional strategic investments.$20 million.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

 

 a)

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report (the Evaluation Date), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods

19


specified in applicable rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

 b)Changes in internal controls: There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended November 27, 2010,May 28, 2011, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company acquired 100 percent of the stock of Glassec Vidros de Seguranca Ltda. on November 19, 2010, which will not be part of the fiscal 2011 internal control assessment.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

The Company has been a party to various legal proceedings incidental to its normal operating activities. In particular, like others in the construction supply industry, the Company’s architectural segmentconstruction supply businesses are routinely involved in various disputes and claims arising out of construction projects, sometimes involving significant monetary damages or product replacement. The Company has also been subject to litigation arising out of employment practices, workers compensation, general liability and automobile claims. Although it is difficult to accurately predict the outcome of such proceedings, facts currently available indicate that no such claims will result in losses that would have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.

 

Item 1A.Risk Factors

We have added the risk factor below due to the acquisition of Glassec Vidros de Seguranca Ltda. during the third quarter of fiscal 2011. Other than the addition of this new risk factor, there have beenThere were no material changes or additions to our risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 27, 2010.

The Architectural results could be adversely impacted by integration and other volatilities associated with the acquisition of a foreign operation.The Architectural segment’s near-term performance depends on its ability to successfully integrate the recently acquired business in Brazil. If we are unable to successfully integrate the business into our current business model, or do not realize projected efficiencies and cost-savings from the business we acquired, we may be unable to meet our growth or profit objectives. Additionally, our increased presence in South America may result in our revenues and net income to be adversely affected by the volatility of the exchange rate between the U.S. Dollar and the Brazilian Real and the economic, political and tax conditions prevalent in the region.26, 2011.
