NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. 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
December 2, 2000 and November 27, 1999, the results of operations for the
three months and nine months ended December 2, 2000 and November 27, 1999
and cash flows for the nine months ended December 2, 2000 and 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. The information included in
this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion
and Analysis and financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's Form 10-K for the year ended February 26, 2000. The results of
operations for the three months and nine months ended December 2, 2000 and
November 27, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year. 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. Fiscal 2001 nine-month figures contain forty
weeks whereas fiscal 2000 nine-month figures contain thirty-nine weeks.

4. Investments in 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 December 2, 2000, the Company's investment in PPG Auto Glass
is $33.0 million. The Company's share of earnings in PPG Auto Glass for the
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 third 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-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 December 2, 2000, accruals totaling $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 is expected to be made within the
next five years. The primary components of the accruals relate to the
completion of certain construction projects, 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 December 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 December 2, 2000 was approximately $4.2 million.
The Company has also entered into a number of noncompete agreements for the
benefit of the Company. As of December 2, 2000, we were committed to make
future payments of $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.

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 third quarter ended December 2, 2000 were $197.3 million, a 2%
decrease over the $201.1 million reported for the prior year third quarter.
Revenues 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 $3.0 million, or $.11 per share diluted,
were $7.9 million higher than last year's loss of $5.0 million, or $.18 per
share diluted. Prior year third quarter net sales have been restated to reflect
the exit of the Company's interest in 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. The results
of the joint venture are included in equity in net earnings of affiliated
companies. EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization) for continuing operations was $13.5 million for the third quarter,
a $9.5 million increase from $4.0 million reported for the prior year third
quarter.
Fiscal 2001 year-to-date figures include one extra week compared to the year-to-
date period a year ago. Fiscal 2001 year-to-date net sales increased 7%, to
$670.9 million, compared to $627.8 million a year ago. Revenues rose 14% over a
year ago, after being adjusted for the PPG Auto Glass joint venture. Earnings
from continuing operations rose 80% to $9.2 million, or 33 cents per share
diluted, from $5.1 million, or 18 cents per share diluted, in the prior year.
Year-to-date net earnings decreased 41% to $9.2 million, or 33
8
cents per share diluted, from $15.6 million, or 56 cents per share diluted, in
the prior year due to the $10.5 million reported gain from discontinued
operations reported in the prior year period.

The following table compares three and nine month results for the current year
with corresponding periods a year ago, as a percentage of sales, for each

Third quarter consolidated gross profit, as a percentage of net sales was 20.9%,
up from 15.2% in the prior year third quarter due to improved performance in
both Glass Technologies and Glass Services segments. 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 additional insurance related
expenses in the current year.
Third quarter selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses rose by $1.1
million, or 3% over the prior year quarter, while SG&A as a percentage of sales
increased from 17.3% to 18.2%. The increase in expenses is primarily due to an
increase in depreciation incurred due mainly to information systems capitalized
in the prior year, offset by 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 nine-month effective income
tax rate of 35.0% was consistent with a year ago.

Glass Technologies (GT)
- -----------------------
Net sales at Glass Technologies increased 16% to $101.1 million in the third
quarter, while operating income increased significantly to $6.3 million. The
increase in operating income is due to favorable results at Viracon, Viratec and
Tru Vue, offset by a decrease in operating results at the Apogee Wausau Group
(AWG).
Viracon, the segment's largest operating unit, reported a net sales increase of
28% and a significant increase in operating income for the quarter compared to
last year's third quarter. Customer demand for Viracon's high-performance
architectural glass products remained strong and the unit has increased its
capacity utilization compared to the prior year quarter. Viracon successfully
addressed its product mix issue that contributed to decreased efficiencies in
the second quarter and 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 December
2, 2000 remained at a near-record level of $41 million.
Viratec reported an increase in sales and operating income for the quarter
compared to last year's third 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 26% and a solid operating income increase
for the quarter as compared to last year's third quarter due to continued
increased operational efficiencies and demand for Tru Vue's higher margin,
value-added glass products. Also, in the third quarter, Tru Vue completed the
acquisition of Corporate Art Services, Inc., (Corporate Art) the operating
results of which were not significant to the quarter. Corporate Art produces
high-end framed art for national retail customers, expanding Tru Vue's pre-
framed art business.
The Apogee Wausau Group (AWG), which consists of Wausau Window & Wall Systems
and Linetec, reported a sales decrease of 11% and a significant operating income
decrease for the quarter as compared to the same quarter a year ago. Wausau
Window & Wall Systems continues to experience a slowdown in shipments, due to
its inability to fill its available short lead-time capacity. This trend is
expected to continue throughout the fourth quarter.
10
Glass Services (GS)
- -------------------
Net sales of Glass Services decreased 15% to $97.8 million in the third quarter.
Net sales grew 5% compared to third quarter of last year, after being adjusted
for the formation of PPG Auto Glass joint venture, which 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. Operating income for the segment 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 the joint venture with PPG,
as compared to three months' performance in the prior year third quarter.
Operating income for the auto glass business decreased for the same reason. Net
sales of the auto glass retail unit decreased 3% compared with those of a year
ago due, in part, 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 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 22% increase in net sales and a significant increase in
operating income for the quarter as compared to the prior year quarter, mainly
due to increased volume and improved margins. 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 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.
Backlog
- -------
On December 2, 2000, the Company's consolidated backlog was $193.0 million, up
8% from the $178.4 million reported a year ago. The backlogs of GT's operations
represented 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 nine months ended December 2, 2000
totaled $48.5 million compared to $25.5 million in the same prior year period.
Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided cash of $11.2 million,
compared to usage of $13.5 million in the same period last year, the increase
due mainly to reduced levels of accounts receivable and inventory and increased
levels of accounts payable and accrued liabilities. At quarter-end, working
capital was $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 nine months ended December 2, 2000
was $13.6 million compared to $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 $132.5 million at December 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
December 2, 2000, long-term debt was 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 December 2, 2000, Apogee's shareholders' equity was $143.9 million. Book
value per share was $5.17, up from $4.97 per share at February 26, 2000, with
outstanding common shares increasing nominally during the period. Net earnings
and proceeds from common stock issued in connection with the Company's stock-
based compensation plans accounted for the increase, slightly reduced by regular
quarterly dividends 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 December 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 December 2,
2000, the Company did not have any forward contracts outstanding as the Company
had no material foreign exchange exposure.
Cautionary Statements
- ---------------------
This report contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements may include
forward-looking statements, which reflect the Company's current views with
respect to future events and financial performance. The words "believe,"
"expect," "anticipate," "intends," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "should"
and similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All
forecasts and projections in this document are "forward-looking statements," and
are based on management's current expectations or beliefs of the Company's near-
term results, based on current information available pertaining to the Company,
including the risk factors noted below.
The Company wishes to caution investors that any forward-looking statements made
by or on behalf of the Company are subject to uncertainties and other factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements.
These uncertainties and other risk factors include, but are not limited to those
noted below. There can be no assurances given that the ongoing reorganization
and realignment of Harmon AutoGlass will lead to successful operating results
now or in the future. Also, there can be no assurances that the ongoing ramp-
ups of new plant capacity in the Glass Technologies businesses will lead to
successful operating results for those companies now or in the future. There
can be no assurances that the anticipated slowdown in business for Viratec San
Diego due to softness in the computer industry can be replaced with new
customers and products. There can be no assurances that PPG Auto Glass,
Apogee's automotive replacement glass distribution joint venture with PPG
Industries, will achieve favorable short-term or long-term operating results.
In addition, in recent years, there has been excess capacity at the distribution
level of the automotive replacement glass industry and margins have narrowed.
There is no assurance PPG Auto Glass will achieve any anticipated efficiencies
or be able to improve or maintain margins.
A number of other factors should be considered in conjunction with this report's
forward-looking statements, 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 other factors are set
forth in the cautionary statement filed as Exhibit 99 to the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K, and include, without limitation, cautionary statements
regarding changes in economic and market conditions, factors related to
competitive pricing, commercial building market conditions, management of growth
of business units, greater than expected costs or difficulties related to the
operation of the businesses, the impact of foreign currency markets, the
integration of acquisitions, the realization of expected economies gained
through expansion and information systems technology updates. New factors
emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all
such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each such factor on the business
or the extent to which any factor, or a combination of factors, may cause actual
results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking
statements.
