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
August 31, 1996 and March 2, 1996, the results of operations for the three
months and six months ended August 31, 1996 and September 2, 1995 and cash
flows for the six months ended August 31, 1996 and September 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 six-month period ended August 31, 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 fifty-two week year while fiscal 1996 was a fifty-three
week year.
2. INVENTORIES
Inventories consist of the following:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SALES AND EARNINGS
- ------------------
Record second quarter net earnings of $8.0 million, or 57 cents per share, were
39% greater than last year's $5.6 million, or 41 cents a share. Revenues rose
14%, to $253 million, from $222 million a year ago. Year-to-date net earnings
rose 42% to $13 million, or 93 cents per share, from $9.1 million, or 67 cents
per share, a year ago. Revenues for the first six months increased 9%, to $482
million compared to $441 million 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 six
months when compared to the corresponding periods a year ago.

</TABLE>
Building Products & Services (BPS)
- ----------------------------------
BPS's continued focus on profitability improvement produced a nominal operating
income in the second quarter. The segment's revenue gain reflected strong
activity levels at all of BPS's units. When adjusted for the July 1995
divestiture of the Nanik group revenues grew 10% on a comparative basis. The
segment's operating income gain was a result of cost reductions and operating
efficiencies at the segment's Harmon Contract and Wausau Architectural Products
operating units.
BPS has reported three consecutive quarters of operating income and it currently
anticipates favorable year over year comparisons for the remainder of the fiscal
year.
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. The JV Partner's rights and status as shareholder, its related
rights to appoint directors, were terminated as of the effective date of the
order and the fair value for the shares is to be determined by the Court after
further proceedings. The Court has not yet scheduled a trial or hearing to
determine fair value. In April 1996, the Court
-7-
<PAGE>
ordered Apogee to post security of $50 million for the ultimate payment of the
purchase price for the JV Partner's shares. Accordingly, Apogee posted a letter
of credit in the amount of $50 million in May 1996. The amount of the letter of
credit is intended as security and is not intended to reflect the Court's view
on the fair value for the shares. The Court has taken under advisement certain
motions brought by the parties, including a motion by the JV Partner for
reconsideration of the March 4, 1996 order terminating its rights and status as
a shareholder.
GT's second quarter produced double-digit percentage revenue and earnings gains
when compared to the same period a year ago. After adjusting for the inclusion
of Marcon and Viratec, revenues were up 22% on a quarter to quarter comparison.
The growth was largely due to record bookings and strong demand experienced at
Viracon, the segment's high-performance architectural glass fabricator. The unit
increased its capacity by 25% this year and is moving forward with additional
production capacity expansion plans to meet the current and expected future
demand for its products. Viracon is currently booking production into next
spring.
Viratec's results have been less than were anticipated by the Company at the
beginning of the fiscal year. Depressed sales and lower earnings are a result of
pricing pressures in the flat glass business and weak demand for its direct
coatings business. GT's Tru Vue, the custom picture framing glass unit, reported
solid earnings during the quarter and margin improvements largely due to
favorable material costs.
Through fiscal year end, GT currently anticipates current product demand levels
to lead to further profit growth for its Viracon and Tru Vue units, while
Viratec is expected to face continued pricing issues and soft product demand.
Auto Glass (AG)
- ---------------
AG achieved solid earnings and revenue gains during the quarter. The growth in
operating income occurred despite a charge that was taken due to obsolescent
inventories. Excluding the write-down on inventories, operating income would
have increased 21%. The segment also reported a 6.7% improvement in same-
location sales. The segment's windshield fabricating unit generated higher
windshield sales for the quarter, outpacing industry measures. AG continues to
benefit from a modest industry-wide price increase instituted last spring.
For the first six months, the segment opened 6 distribution centers and 15
retail locations while closing 1 distribution center and 7 retail locations for
a quarter end total of 63 and 262, respectively. The segment also has 8 Midas
Muffler franchises. Expansion opportunities, including both possible
acquisitions and start-up operations, continued to be investigated.
AG continues to anticipate a solid operating profit for the remainder of the
fiscal year. However, wavering demand for automotive replacement glass and price
fluctuations, may cause the segment to report earning deviations on a quarter to
quarter comparison, particularly in the latter half of the fiscal year,
traditionally the segment's seasonally slower time of the year.
Backlog
- -------
On August 31, 1996, Apogee's consolidated backlog stood at $399 million, up 7%
from the $374 million reported a year ago, but down 8% from first quarter. While
all three segments reported mixed changes from first quarter, the most notable
negative variances occurred at BPS's New Construction-International (down 8%)
and GT's Viratec (down 24%) units. Backlog growth was reported at BPS's
Detention and Wausau Architectural Products (Wausau Metals).

</TABLE>
On a consolidated basis for the three-month and six-month periods, gross profit,
as a percentage of net sales, rose primarily due to BPS's focus on margin
improvement instituted in fiscal 1995. The growth was slightly offset by lower
margins at AG's Curvlite unit as a result of tighter pricing in the auto glass
fabricating market. Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG & A)
increased largely due to higher commissions and profit sharing expenses relating
to higher sales activity and earnings growth. 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.
The effective income tax rate of 36.8% increased slightly due to increased
domestic income in the Company's jurisdictional mix.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
Cash balances were lower at quarter end as cash was used to pay down borrowing
levels. Receivables, inventories and costs in excess of billings increased
reflecting higher sales levels due to the seasonality of the businesses.
Accrued expenses, accounts payable and billings in excess of costs also grew
with the increased activity levels. Despite the 14% sales growth, consolidated
working capital of $101.7 million was 20% lower than last year's $127.7 million
as current liabilities related to higher activity and the Viratec and Marcon
matter out-paced current asset growth. Borrowing levels declined modestly from
year end. Total debt of $82.4 million at August 31, 1996, represented 30% of
invested capital.
Additions to property, plant and equipment totaled $15.1 million for the first
half of the fiscal year. Major components of these additions included
expenditures for information processing systems and facility expansion. For
information relating to the purchase of Marcon and Viratec, please see the cash
flow statement on page 5 and related footnote.
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 competitive environment in which the Company's business segments
operate, including
-9-
<PAGE>
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.
