MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SALES AND EARNINGS
- ------------------
For the third quarter ended November 29, 1997, Apogee reported a net loss of
$10.4 million, or 37 cents per share, compared with net earnings of $7.6
million, or 27 cents per share, which reflects the Company's 2:1 stock split
effective February 14, 1997. The Company's third quarter results included a
nonrecurring after-tax charge of $16.0 million, or 56 cents per share, related
to the Building Products & Services segment's curtainwall operations. Excluding
that charge, Apogee had net earnings of $5.6 million, or 20 cents per share.
Sales for the period rose 10% to $250.9 million, up from $228.8 million a year
ago.
For the nine-month period ended November 29, 1997, Apogee's net earnings were
$6.0 million, or 21 cents per share, compared with $20.6 million, or 74 cents
per share, reported a year ago. Year-to-date net sales rose by 5% to $748.8
million.
The following table presents the percentage change in net sales and operating
income (loss) 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.

</TABLE>
Glass Technologies (GT)
- -----------------------
GT reported strong sales and earnings growth when compared to the same period a
year ago. Operating income rose 26% as sales increased 23%. Most of the
improvement came from Viracon, the segment's high-performance architectural
glass fabricator, which continued to experience strong product demand and
improved product mix. Tru Vue, the segment's custom picture framing glass unit,
also reported higher revenues and solid earnings, bolstered by sales in advance
of the retail holiday season.
Viratec Thin Films (Viratec) reported mixed results. Viratec continued to
operate its coating of curved glass surfaces cathodes ray tubes (CaRT) business
at a modest profit. As reported earlier, this operation will need to
significantly improve order levels in order to achieve adequate returns. During
the quarter, the unit added 50 percent additional capacity to its CaRT line.
Viratec's overall operating earnings failed to match those of the first half of
the year primarily due to reduced operating income in its flat glass coating
operation, which experienced production downtime due to ongoing capacity
expansion. By quarter-end, the coater had returned to productive operation with
additional capacity.
Based on its backlog and strong demand for its products, GT currently
anticipates year-over-year sales and earnings growth in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 1998.
-7-
<PAGE>
Auto Glass (AG)
- ---------------
Sales for AG rose $10.4 million to $84.0 million, with about half of the sales
growth due to the fourth quarter fiscal 1997 acquisition of Portland Glass. The
segment's revenue growth continued to outpace the industry. Market data
indicated that unit demand for replacement auto glass in the U.S. fell
significantly year over year. Margin pressures intensified during the period,
particularly at the retail level. These pressures combined with higher selling
and administrative costs produced a 24 percent decline in operating income to
$3.0 million. Earnings results for the segment's distribution and fabrication
businesses were flat with a year ago. At November 29, 1997, the segment had 327
retail in 40 states.
The fourth quarter is the segment's seasonally weakest period and, if industry
trends do not improve the segment could lose $1.0 million or more in that
quarter. Meanwhile, the segment is taking action to reduce its cost structure,
particularly in its retail operations.
Building Products & Services (BPS)
- ----------------------------------
BPS reported a $27.5 million operating loss for the third quarter of fiscal 1998
compared with operating income of $0.7 million in the same period a year ago.
Segment sales increased 2 percent to $109.0 million. The operating loss was
primarily due to a $26.0 million pre-tax provision for restructuring and other
unusual items mainly related to the segment's international curtainwall
operations. Excluding the charge, international curtainwall operations still
posted an operating loss of $5.0 million, mainly due to foreign currency
translation losses in Malaysia, where the Company held retainage receivables
related to several projects, included the already completed Kuala Lumpur City
Centre, and due to additional cost overruns at one project in France. New
Construction's domestic curtainwall operations reported a solid operating profit
for the quarter, aided by the completion of the Getty Museum project. The Full
Service unit continued to produce solid earnings and the Architectural Products
group more than doubled its operating income from the prior year, benefiting
from higher sales and improved margins.
The $26.0 million pre-tax charge, which was announced by the Company in August
21, 1997 and November 21, 1997 press releases includes amounts for restructuring
of BPS's international curtainwall activities and other nonrecurring items
associated with the unit's European operations. The restructuring plan involves
the closing of the curtainwall unit's Asian offices and the rationalization of
its project management, engineering and European manufacturing capacity. The
charge for restructuring includes amounts for severance and termination benefits
for employees in France, Asia and the U.S., the write-down of property and
equipment and other long-term assets to their net realizable values, and for
other items such as lease termination costs. The provision also includes amounts
for the estimated loss associated with certain disputed construction contracts
receivable in Europe, including the accrual of certain penalty amounts, and the
accrual of costs associated with the resolution of legal proceedings related to
organizational changes in its European curtainwall unit.
The Company believes that overseas operating losses from curtainwall activities
will continue to adversely influence earnings comparisons in the near-term,
possibly resulting in operating losses in the fourth quarter for BPS. The
segment's noncurtainwall business units are currently expected to be profitable.
Backlog
- -------
On November 29, 1997, Apogee's consolidated backlog stood at $292 million, down
19 percent from a year ago and down 18 percent since the beginning of the year.
As expected, notable declines were reported for all regions of BPS's curtainwall
operations, with the unit's Asian and European backlogs down over 50 percent
from a year ago.

</TABLE>
During the third quarter, productivity improvements at the Company's
manufacturing operations and stronger domestic curtainwall margins were more
than offset by poor margins at the Asian and European curtainwall operations.
The decline in the most recent period narrowed the gross margin improvement on a
year-to-date basis. The nine-month improvement also reflected the productivity
improvements at the Company's manufacturing operations and better domestic
curtainwall margins. In addition, the change in sales mix away from the lower-
margin curtainwall business also contributed to the improvement. The Company's
gross margin also benefited from notably lower property/casualty insurance
costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) were flat for the first two
quarters of the fiscal year due to Companywide efforts to control such costs.
SG&A costs, however, were 10.5% higher than a year ago, reflecting the higher
commissions and profit sharing expenses for many of its businesses and increased
costs related to information systems upgrades and conversions throughout the
Company. Net interest expense fell during the quarter. Increased interest
income from investments held by the Company's captive insurance subsidiary and
lower interest rates on its revolver and uncommitted credit lines accounted for
the slight decline.
The effective income tax rate for the nine-month period fell to 15.0%, mainly
reflecting the marginal tax benefit associated with the third quarter charge
discussed above. In addition, results in the third quarter, exclusive of the
charge on an after-tax basis, benefited from a reduction in the Company's tax
rate caused by changes in the domestic and international jurisdictional mix of
the Company's operations and lower estimated full-year earnings.
Primarily due to the provision for restructuring and other unusual items and
poor operating results from international curtainwall operations, the Company
currently expects that it will not achieve fiscal 1997 net earnings.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Working capital declined for the nine months ended November 29, 1997 primarily
due to lower receivables and costs and earnings in excess of billings, which was
partially offset by higher inventory levels, and
-9-
<PAGE>
lower accounts payable, accrued expenses and billings in excess of costs and
earnings. This reduction in working capital combined with net earnings and
noncash charges to provide the Company with $36.8 million in cash from operating
activities.
Investing activities consumed $36.4 million through nine months of fiscal 1998.
Additions to property, plant and equipment totaled $28.0 million for the first
nine months of the fiscal year. Major components of these additions included
expenditures for manufacturing facilities expansion and upgrading of information
systems throughout the Company. The increase in investments held by the
Company's captive insurance subsidiary was $7.5 million.
Borrowing levels rose during the quarter. Total long-term debt, including
current installments, totaled $137.8 million. Debt represented 41.2% of invested
capital.
Through November 29,1997, the Company has repurchased 448,000 shares of common
stock for $7.2 million, while issuing 211,000 common shares under its stock-
based incentive plans. During the quarter, the Company raised its quarterly cash
dividend 11% to 5.0 cents per share, the 23rd consecutive year of increase.
