NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
---------------------------
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
November 30, 1996 and March 2, 1996, and the results of operations for the
three months and nine months ended November 30, 1996 and December 2, 1995
and cash flows for the nine months ended November 30, 1996 and December 2,
1995.
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.
The results of operations for the nine-month period ended November 30, 1996
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.
Accounting period
-----------------
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. The first quarter of fiscal 1997 consisted of 13
weeks, while the first quarter of fiscal 1996 had 14 weeks. Consequently,
fiscal 1997 is a 52 week year while fiscal 1996 is a 52 week year.
2. Inventories
Inventories consist of the following:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SALES AND EARNINGS
- ------------------
Net earnings for the third quarter rose 47 percent to $7.6 million, or 54 cents
per share, from $5.2 million, or 38 cents per share, a year earlier. Sales for
the period rose 6 percent to $228.8 million, up from $215.5 million a year ago.
Year-to-date net earnings and sales have risen by 44 percent and 8 percent,
respectively. Earnings per share grew to $1.47, compared to $1.05 a year ago.
The following table presents the percentage change in sales and operating income
for the Company's three segments and on a consolidated basis, for three and nine
months when compared to the corresponding periods a year ago.

=========================== ==========================
Building Products & Services (BPS)
- ----------------------------------
BPS reported its fourth consecutive quarter of operating income, versus an
operating loss in the same period a year ago. The segment's operating profit was
due to the solid operating results of the Detention/Security, Full Service and
Architectural Products business units which produced nearly half of the
segment's third quarter sales. The segment's results were offset by a $2 million
loss suffered by BPS's New Construction unit as its European operations reported
disappointing results in the third quarter. Lower revenues were also experienced
by the New Construction unit and resulted in a decrease when compared to a year
ago. The lower revenues for New Construction were expected and reflect the
strict bidding disciplines instituted during fiscal 1995. BPS believes the same
disciplines and project management which has produced four consecutive quarters
of earnings improvement should enable it to report favorable comparisons through
fiscal year end.
Glass Technologies (GT)
- -----------------------
As a result of the litigation and court proceedings described in the next
paragraph, Marcon Coatings (Marcon) and Viratec Thin Films (Viratec) were
consolidated in Apogee's financial statements beginning with this fiscal year,
and are reflected in the GT segment. Through fiscal 1996, Marcon and Viratec
were accounted by the equity method, with the 50% equity in Marcon's and
Viratec's net earnings included in "Equity in net earnings of affiliated
companies" in Apogee's Consolidated Results of Operations.
In November 1995, Apogee's 50% joint venture partner (JV Partner) in
Marcon/Viratec commenced litigation against Apogee, alleging claims for damages
and seeking to have the Minnesota State Court (Court) order Apogee to sell its
50% interest to the JV Partner. Apogee filed counterclaims seeking to have the
JV Partner's 50% interest sold to Apogee. In March 1996, the Court ordered the
JV partner to sell shares representing its 50% interest in Marcon/Viratec to
Apogee upon payment by Apogee of fair value for those shares as determined by
the Court.
On January 13, 1997, the parties announced that they agreed to a comprehensive
settlement of all claims with respect to the Marcon/Viratec matter described
above. Apogee agreed to pay $41 million, in cash, to the JV Partner on or before
-7-
January 27, 1997, in exchange for the JV Partner's 50% interest, and the parties
agreed irrevocably to release each other from all outstanding claims, other than
certain trade accounts payable.
GT demonstrated significant growth in operating income and sales for the third
quarter when compared to a year ago. Driven by solid bookings at Viracon, GT's
high-performance architectural glass fabricator, and the inclusion of Viratec
sales, the segment reported another quarter of revenue growth. Strong demand for
Viracon's architectural products and producing at near full capacity levels led
to double-digit operating income growth for the quarter. Viracon increased
production capacity by 20% this summer and plans to meet the continued demand
for its products by expanding its existing production an additional 20% by March
1997 and also anticipates a new plant opening in the spring of 1998.
Viratec's flat glass business operated at capacity levels and plans to expand
its product lines in fiscal 1998. The unit's direct coating business continued
to experience soft product demand which led to low operating earnings for the
unit. The segment's custom picture framing glass unit, Tru Vue, reported another
quarter of operating growth.
GT anticipates strong product demand to lead to further profit growth for its
Viracon and Tru Vue units through fiscal year end, while Viratec expects to face
continued insufficient product demand at least through early 1997.
Auto Glass (AG)
- ---------------
AG recorded substantial operating income and revenue gains in the third quarter
compared to a year ago. Same-store sales were up 7% compared to the same period
a year ago. The gains were due to a combination of increased unit demand for
automotive replacement glass and a firming in prices at both its automotive
replacement glass manufacturing business and its distribution and installation
units. The segment continues to invest in information technology to provide
leading-edge claims processing systems to its insurance company customers while
creating operating efficiencies for all of its businesses.
On January 3, 1997, AG's Harmon AutoGlass (Harmon) unit acquired Portland Glass
in a stock-for-stock transaction. Portland Glass is a large regional auto glass
retailer with 46 auto glass shops in the Northeast. The transaction will add
four states to Harmon's geographic coverage.
As the segment heads into its seasonally slowest sales period, it anticipates
lower earning levels than experienced in the first three quarters of the fiscal
year.
Backlog
- -------
Apogee's consolidated backlog stood at $362 million on November 30, 1996, down
17% from the $438 million reported at the end of last year's third quarter.
Disciplined project selection has contributed to the lower order rate, though
BPS's New Construction unit was awarded $50 million in new U.S. projects during
the quarter.

============ =========== =========== ==========
For the three months ended November 30, 1996, gross profit, as a percentage of
net sales, improved over the year-ago figures due to firm margins experienced at
GT and a shift in revenue mix at AG. Selling, general and administrative
expenses (SG &A) rose reflecting the higher commissions and profit sharing
expenses relating to higher sales activity and earnings growth and higher costs
related to information systems upgrades and conversions throughout the Company.
Year-to-date net interest expense rose despite a decline in borrowing levels.
The increase reflects the accrual of interest connected with the Viratec and
Marcon matter discussed on previous pages.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The November 30, 1996 balance sheet and the statement of cash flows for the nine
months ended reflect the working capital needs associated with the higher sales
levels and the consolidation of the Viratec and Marcon and the related
acquisition costs. Accounts receivable and Billings in excess of costs and
earnings increased from the beginning of the year due to higher business
activity and some project payment delays experienced at BPS. Inventory levels
were also affected by the higher sales level and rose during the quarter. The
Company plans to fund the $41 million purchase of Viratec and Marcon, as noted
in previous discussion, by use of its currently available credit facilities.
Additions to property, plant and equipment totaled $22.5 million for the first
nine months of the fiscal year. Major components of these additions included
expenditures for GT's capacity expansion and information and communications
systems throughout the Company.
During the quarter, the Company raised its quarterly cash dividend 6%, to 9.0
cents per share.
Cautionary Statements
- ---------------------
A number of factors should be considered in conjunction with any discussion of
operations or results by the Company or its representatives and any forward-
looking discussion, as well as comments contained in press releases,
presentations to securities analysts or investors, or other communications by
the Company. These factors are set forth in the cautionary statements filed as
Exhibit 99 to the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 2, 1996
and include, without limitation, cautionary statements regarding (i) industry
conditions, including that the industries in which the business segments compete
are cyclical in nature and sensitive to changes in general economic conditions,
(ii) the
-9-
competitive environment in which the Company's business segments operate,
including that the industries are highly competitive and fairly mature, and
(iii) the Company's international operations are subject to the general risks of
doing business abroad and of entering new markets. The Company wishes to caution
investors and other to review the statements set forth in Exhibit 99 and that
other factors may prove to be important in affecting the Company's business or
results of operations. These cautionary statements should be considered in
connection with this Form 10-Q, including the forward looking statements
contained in the Management's discussion and analysis of the Company's three
business segments. These cautionary statements are intended to take advantage of
the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995.
