4. Discontinued Operations
   -----------------------

On May 13, 1999, the Company completed the sale of 100% of the stock of its
large-scale domestic curtainwall business, Harmon Ltd., for consideration
including $2 million cash and a $5.3 million secured, subordinated note. The
results of Harmon Ltd., as well as those of the Company's Detention & Security
unit, which was sold in November 1998, and the Company's international
curtainwall operations are reported as discontinued operations. Earnings from
operations of discontinued businesses, net of taxes, for the quarter were $9.1
million, and for the six months were $9.2 million.

Sales and Earnings
- ------------------
Net sales for the second quarter ended August 28, 1999 were
$218.5 million, a 5% increase over the $208.2 million reported for the same
period a year ago. Glass Technologies reported a 12% increase in net sales,
while Glass Services reported only a nominal sales gain, primarily reflecting a
small sales decline from auto glass operations. Second quarter net earnings of
$14.0 million, or 50 cents per share diluted, were 53% higher than last year's
$9.2 million, or 33 cents per share diluted. However, primarily due to pricing
pressures and soft retail demand at auto glass operations, second quarter
earnings from continuing operations decreased 35% to $4.9 million, or 18 cents
per share-diluted, from $7.6 million, or 28 cents per share-diluted, for the
prior year quarter. Earnings from discontinued operations, $9.1 million
after-tax, increased from $1.5 million a year ago, the result of significant
cash collections related to the completion of certain projects from the
Company's discontinued Asian curtainwall operations. The Company announced its
exit from curtainwall operations in Asia in late 1997 and is in the closing
stages of its exit activities.

Net sales for the first six months increased 8%, to $429.6 million, compared to
$398.5 million a year ago. Year-to-date net earnings increased 43% to $18.6
million, or 67 cents per share diluted, from $13.0 million, or 47 cents per
share diluted, in the prior year. Earnings from continuing operations fell 20%
to $9.4 million, or 34 cents per share-diluted from the prior year.

The following table presents the percentage change in net 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.

Glass Technologies (GT)
- -----------------------
Net sales at Glass Technologies increased 12% to $88.3 million in the second
quarter, while operating income fell 8% to $4.5 million from last year's $4.9
million. The sales increase was primarily due to 20+%

                                       7
<PAGE>

growth at Viracon and Viratec as both businesses experienced increased volume at
their new facilities in Statesboro, GA and San Diego, CA, respectively. A major
factor underlying the operating income decline was incremental depreciation
expense of $1.9 million associated with the segment's capacity expansions.

Viracon, the segment's largest operating unit, reported a net sales increase of
21% and an operating income increase of 13% for the period compared to last
year's second quarter. Customer demand for Viracon's high-performance
architectural glass products remained strong. Backlog at August 28, 1999 was at
an all-time high of $38.0 million. Production at Viracon's new Statesboro,
Georgia facility continued to make progress, however, the ramp-up is proceeding
at a slower pace than originally planned. At the beginning of the third quarter,
Viracon reduced production at the Owatonna, MN plant in order to create
efficiencies that should improve production velocity. As a result of this
decision, this facility is not expected to be at full production until late in
the third quarter.

Viratec reported a larger operating loss for the quarter as compared to the same
quarter a year ago as a result of the combination of a technology change-over to
accommodate a new product in its CRT coating operation in San Diego and
fine-tuning the production of its new vertical coater in Faribault, MN to bring
it up to nameplate capacity. The CRT technology changeover is expected to be
completed in the third quarter, while the vertical coater is expected to resume
production by the end of the fiscal year.

Tru Vue experienced record sales and profits for the second quarter as demand
for Tru Vue's value-added glass products remained solid. Sales increased 6% and
operating income increased 36% for the quarter as compared to the same quarter a
year ago. The second quarter ended August 28, 1999 was the first full quarter of
operation for the new Tru Vue manufacturing facility in Chicago, Illinois.

The Architectural Products Group reported decreased sales and operating income
compared to the same period last year. This decrease in operating income was a
result of slightly lower sales and the corresponding reduction in gross profit.

Despite strong backlog and strong demand for most of its products, Glass
Technologies expects to report lower operating earnings for fiscal 2000, as
compared to fiscal 1999, as a result of slower than expected ramp-up of
production capacity at its Statesboro, GA, San Diego, CA and Faribault, MN
facilities. However, sales and operating income are expected to increase in the
second half of the year compared with the first six months of the year.

Glass Services (GS)
- -------------------
As compared to a year ago, net sales increased 2% to $132.5
million at Glass Services. Operating income for the segment decreased 44% to
$6.0 million from the same period a year ago despite a strong performance by
Harmon, Inc.

The auto glass business reported a 2% decrease in sales and a 70% decrease in
operating income as a result of continued distribution price pressures and soft
retail demand. Charges associated with realignment of its business activities
and management also contributed to lower operating income for the quarter.
Same-store unit retail sales rose by approximately 5% during the second quarter,
but industry-wide pricing pressures effectively offset the benefit of this
increase. At the close of the second quarter, GS had 343 Harmon retail locations
and 78 Glass Depot distribution centers.

Harmon Inc., the Company's full service building glass installation and repair
shops, reported a 25% increase in net sales and a 113% increase in operating
income for the quarter as compared to the same period a year ago, mainly due to
increased volume and improved margins.

The continuation of significant pricing pressures and soft retail demand in auto
glass operations make it likely that the segment will report significantly lower
operating earnings in the last half of the year compared to the same period a
year ago.

Discontinued Operations
- ------------------------
On May 13, 1999, the Company completed the sale of 100%
of the stock of its large-scale domestic curtainwall business, Harmon Ltd., for
consideration including $2 million cash and a $5.3 million secured, subordinated
note. The results of Harmon Ltd., as well as those of the Company's Detention &
Security unit, which was sold in November 1998, and the Company's international
curtainwall operations are reported as discontinued operations. Earnings from
operations of discontinued businesses, net of taxes, for the second quarter were
$9.1 million, and for the six months were $9.2 million.

Backlog
- -------
On August 28, 1999, the Company's consolidated backlog was $174.8 million, up 9%
from the $160.5 million reported a year ago. The backlogs of GT's operations
represented 66% of the Company's consolidated backlog.

</TABLE>

On a consolidated basis for the three-month and six-month periods, gross profit
fell as a percentage of net sales for the reasons noted above. Despite the gross
profit increase recognized by Harmon, Inc., it was not enough to offset the
decrease in gross profit reported by Viracon, Viratec, Wausau Architectural
Products and auto glass operations for the quarter as compared to the prior year
quarter. On a year-to-date basis, Viracon and auto glass operations reported a
decrease in gross profit as a percent of sales while Viratec and Harmon, Inc.
reported increases over last year. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A)
expenses rose by $9.0 million, or 14% over the prior year period, primarily due
to increased personnel and outside services costs. A portion of the increased
personnel costs represented classification variances associated with the
Company's many system conversions. Identification and quantification of such
amounts are expected to be completed in the third quarter with appropriate
reclassifications made to the prior year's figures. Interest expense increased
slightly during the quarter as higher borrowing levels were offset by slightly
lower borrowing rates. The six-month effective income tax rate of 35.0% was down
slightly from 36.0% a year ago.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
Financial Condition
- -------------------
Net cash provided by operating activities
Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended August 28, 1999
totaled $39.4 million. That figure reflected the combination of net earnings and
noncash charges, such as depreciation and amortization. At quarter-end, the
Company's working capital stood at $98.5 million. The primary factors underlying
the increase in working capital were increased cash, decreased payables and
accruals and cash flow from discontinued operations, partly offset by decreased
receivables, increased billings in excess of costs and increased income taxes
payable.

Net cash provided by financing activities
Bank borrowings stood at $170.4 million at August 28, 1999, up 2% from the
$166.4 million outstanding at February 27, 1999. The borrowings, along with cash
provided by operating activities, were sufficient to finance the period's
significant investing activities and cash dividend requirements. At August 28,
1999, long-term debt stood at 57% of total capitalization, as compared to 56% at
fiscal year-end 1999.

The Company anticipates no increase in borrowing levels over the next two
quarters as capital spending levels return to a normalized level after several
quarters of significant expenditures related to significant capacity expansion
in fiscal 1999 and the first half of fiscal 2000.

Net cash used in investing activities
Additions to property, plant and equipment during the six months ended August
28, 1999 totaled approximately $34.8 million. Major items included expenditures
for the GT expansion activities noted above as well as expenditures on
information systems projects throughout the Company. The Company projects
full-year capital expenditures of approximately $50 million.

Cash increased $5.9 million for the six months ended August 28, 1999.

Shareholders' Equity
- --------------------
At August 28, 1999, Apogee's shareholders' equity stood at $146.4 million. Book
value per share was $5.27, up from $4.73 per share at February 27, 1999, 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
dividends paid.

Impact of Year 2000
- -------------------
Each of the Company's businesses has had project teams in place to evaluate its
Information Technology (IT) systems, non-IT systems, and third-party readiness
for compliance with Year 2000 requirements. For these purposes, the Company
defines its "IT systems" as those hardware and software systems which comprise
its central management information systems and its telephone systems. All other
systems, including those involved in local, on-site product design or
manufacturing, are considered "non-IT systems." "Third parties" include the
Company's key suppliers and customers.

The inventory, assessment and remediation stages of the Company's IT systems are
substantially complete. The Company has several Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) system implementations designed to enable the businesses to operate more
efficiently, which will also address the Year 2000 issue. As of the end of
September 1999, the Company believed that these ERP system implementations were
approximately 85% complete, with planned completion during October 1999. Where
existing systems are expected to remain in place beyond 1999, the Company has
identified Year 2000 issues and is completing the process of remediating,
replacing or establishing alternative procedures addressing non-Year 2000
compliant systems and hardware. The Company believes mission-critical systems
will be completed during October 1999. Although the Company does not foresee a
material adverse effect on its business, results of operations related to Year
2000 or the Company's IT systems, risk is not eliminated until the systems are
fully installed, tested, and all non-compliant code identified, and corrected.

                                       10
<PAGE>

The Company's businesses have completed assessment, remediation and
implementation of embedded operating and applications software and hardware
within its mission-critical non-IT systems. Remaining systems will be completed
by late Fall 1999. While the Company does not believe that it is likely to
experience adverse effects related to Year 2000 in the area of non-IT systems,
failure to identify all Year 2000 controls or equipment, or failure to remediate
them in a timely way, could result in the inability of a particular plant or
facility to manufacture products or provide services in the ordinary course of
business.

Virtually none of the Company's products are date sensitive.

The Company's businesses have contacted key customers and suppliers to assess
Year 2000 compliance within their organizations to assure no material
interruption in these important third party relationships. This dialogue and
process has been and will continue to be ongoing throughout 1999. Non-compliant
customers and suppliers will be evaluated in terms of the degree of risk posed
to the Company's business. If there were significant non-compliance by key
customers and suppliers, the Company might experience a material adverse effect
on the businesses with those specific third-party relationships.

The Company's businesses are developing contingency plans based on their review
of IT systems, non-IT systems, and third party Year 2000 compliance progress.
The Company is developing third party contingency plans as it identifies
critical partners with evidence of non-compliance. The Company's contingency
plans may include plans, where necessary, to establish additional or alternative
sources of supply and channels of distribution.

Based on the Company's assessments completed to date, the Company's total cost
of addressing Year 2000 issues is currently estimated to be in the range of $7-8
million, of which approximately $6 million has already been incurred. Aside from
costs to implement ERP projects for other business purposes, the IT related
portion of the total Year 2000 costs is estimated to be approximately $6-7
million.

The Company recognizes that issues related to Year 2000 constitute a material
known uncertainty. The Company believes it is taking reasonable steps to address
the Year 2000 problem. The failure to identify and remediate Year 2000 problems
or the failure of external third parties who do business with the Company to
effectively remediate their Year 2000 issues could cause system failures or
errors, business interruptions and, in a worst case scenario, the inability to
operate in the ordinary course of business for an unknown length of time. The
effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position, or liquidity
could be materially adverse.

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, 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 3:  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company does not enter into market risk-sensitive instruments for trading
purposes. The Company's principal market risk is sensitivity to interest rates,
due to its significant debt to total capitalization ratio. 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 changes in interest
rates affecting the Company's financial instruments would result in
approximately a $2.0 million impact to net earnings, based upon the Company's
current debt obligations. All other things being equal, as interest rates
increase, net earnings decrease; as interest rates decrease, net earnings
increase.

The Company also routinely uses 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.

Given the Company's balanced foreign exchange position described above, an
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.

                                 FIRST AMENDMENT
                                       TO
                               SEVERANCE AGREEMENT


     This First Amendment to Severance Agreement (this "First Amendment"), dated
as of this ___ day of ________, 1999, amends that certain Severance Agreement
dated as of , 1999, by and between Apogee Enterprises, Inc., a Minnesota
corporation (the "Company"), and _______________ (the "Executive"), a resident
of the State of Minnesota (the "Agreement").

     WHEREAS, the Agreement specifies the financial arrangements that the
Company will provide to Executive upon Executive's separation from employment
with the Company under the circumstances described therein; and

     WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the Agreement in the manner set forth
herein in order to enhance the Company's ability to attract and retain highly
qualified people.

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

     1. Section 4(i)(b)(II) of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety
and the following is substituted therefor:

          "(II) twenty-four (24) times the sum of (A) Executive's monthly base
     salary (as in effect in the month preceding the month in which the
     termination becomes effective or as in effect in the month preceding the
     Change in Control, whichever is higher) and (B) one-twelfth (1/12) of the
     Target Bonus;"

     2. Section 4(iii) of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and
the following is substituted therefor:

          "(iii) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company shall
     cause its independent auditors promptly to review, at the Company's sole
     expense, the applicability of Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of
     1986, as amended (the "Code") to the "Total Payments" (as defined in
     Section 4(iv) below) to be received by Executive. If such auditors
     determine that, after taking into account the provisions of Section 4(iv)
     hereof, any of the Total Payments would be subject to the excise tax
     imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or any interest or penalties with
     respect to such tax (such excise tax, together with interest and penalties,
     are collectively referred to as the "Excise Tax"), then, in addition to any
     amounts payable under foregoing provisions of this Section 4, the Company
     shall pay an additional cash payment (a "Gross-Up Payment") within 30 days
     of such determination equal to the Excise Tax imposed on the Total
<PAGE>

     Payments, including any Excise Tax or any other income taxes that may be
     imposed on such Gross-Up Payment. If no determination by the Company's
     auditors is made prior to the time a tax return reflecting the Total
     Payments is required to be filed by Executive, Executive will be entitled
     to receive a Gross-Up Payment calculated on the basis of the Total Payments
     reported by him in such tax return, within 30 days of the filing of such
     tax return. In all events, if any tax authority determines that a greater
     Excise Tax should be imposed on the Total Payments than is determined by
     the Company's independent auditors or reflected in Executive's tax return
     pursuant to this subparagraph (iii), Executive shall be entitled to receive
     the full Gross-Up Payment calculated on the basis of the amount of Excise
     Tax determined to be payable by such tax authority from the Company within
     30 days of such determination."

     3. Section 4(iv) of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the
following is substituted therefor:

          "(iv) As used herein, "Total Payments" shall mean, collectively, any
     payment or benefit received or to be received by Executive in connection
     with a Change in Control of the Company or termination of Executive's
     employment (whether payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any
     other plan, contract, agreement or arrangement with the Company, with any
     person whose actions result in a Change in Control of the Company or with
     any person constituting a member of an "affiliated group" as defined in
     Section 280G(d)(5) of the Code) with the Company or with any person whose
     actions result in a Change in Control of the Company. For purposes of
     calculating Total Payments, (a) no portion of the Total Payments the
     receipt or enjoyment of which Executive shall have effectively waived in
     writing prior to the date of payment of the Severance Payment shall be
     taken into account; (b) no portion of the Total Payments shall be taken
     into account which in the opinion of tax counsel selected by the Company
     and acceptable to Executive does not constitute a "parachute payment"
     within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code; (c) the value of any
     benefit provided by Section 4(i)(f) of this Agreement shall not be taken
     into account in computing Total Payments; and (d) the value of any other
     non-cash benefit or of any deferred cash payment included in the Total
     Payments shall be determined by the Company's independent auditors in
     accordance with the principles of Sections 280G(d)(3) and (4) of the Code.
     In case of uncertainty as to whether all or some portion of a payment is or
     is not payable to Executive under this Agreement, the Company shall
     initially make the payment to Executive, and Executive agrees to refund to
     the Company any amounts ultimately determined not to have been payable
     under the terms hereof."

     4. Any capitalized term used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meaning given to such term in the Agreement.

                                      -2-

     5. This First Amendment constitutes an amendment of the Agreement in
conformity with and pursuant to the terms of Section 7 of the Agreement. Except
as expressly amended herein, all terms set forth in the Agreement shall continue
in full force and effect.

     6. The operative terms of this First Amendment may be inserted into a First
Amended and Restated Agreement by the parties and shall have a date as of the
day and year first set forth herein.

     7. The internal law, and not the law of conflicts, of the State of
