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 adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as
    of June 3, 2000 and May 29, 1999, and the results of operations and cash
    flows for the fourteen week period ended June 3, 2000 and for the thirteen
    week period ended May 29, 1999.  As explained in note 4, 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 financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q
    and do not contain certain information included in the Company's annual
    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
    fourteen week period ended June 3, 2000 and the thirteen week period ended
    May 29, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
    for the full year.

    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.

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

    In fiscal 1999, Apogee's Board of Directors authorized the divestiture of
    the detention/security and domestic curtainwall operations.  In late 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. On December 3, 1998, the Company
    executed the sale of its detention/security business, effective November 28,
    1998. On May 13, 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 June 3, 2000, accruals totaling $25.1 million represented the remaining
    estimated (net) future cash outflows associated with the exit from
    discontinued operations. The majority of these cash expenditures are
    expected to be made within the next one to two years.  The primary
    components of the accrual relate to the completion of certain construction
    projects, as well as costs to exit the VIS'N business, associated legal and
    advisory fees and related costs.

5.  Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
    --------------------------------------

    At June 3, 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 June 3, 2000 was approximately $6.6 million.  The
    Company has also entered into a number of noncompete agreements for the
    benefit of the Company.  As of February 26, 2000, we were committed to make
    future payments of $3.5 million under such agreements.

    The Company has been party to various legal proceedings incidental to its
    normal operating activities.  In particular, like others in the construction
    industry, its discontinued construction business is routinely involved in
    various disputes and claims 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.

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
------------------
Fiscal 2001 figures include one extra week in the quarter as compared to the
same quarter a year ago. Net sales for the first quarter ended June 3, 2000 were
$237.3 million, a 13% increase over the $209.7 million reported for the prior
year quarter. First quarter earnings from continuing operations fell 58% to $2.0
million, or 7 cents per share-diluted, from $4.8 million, or 17 cents per share-
diluted, for the prior year quarter. Last year's net sales have been restated to
reflect the planned exit of the Company's interest in
                                       7

VIS'N Service Corporation (VIS'N). Accordingly, the results of this business,
along with the Company's detention/security and domestic curtainwall operations,
are reported as discontinued operations.

First Quarter Fiscal 2001 Compared to First Quarter Fiscal 2000
---------------------------------------------------------------

The following table compares first quarter results with year-ago results, as a
percentage of sales, for each caption.  Fiscal 2000 results have been restated

</TABLE>

On a consolidated basis, gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, decreased
from 22.4% to 20.2%, due primarily to decreased margins as a result of
operational difficulties at Viratec and pricing pressures at the auto glass
businesses, partially offset by improved margins at Viracon, Tru Vue, Apogee
Wausau Group (AWG) and Harmon, Inc.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses, as a percentage of sales,
remained constant from a year ago, but rose by $4.6 million, or 13% due
primarily to increases in depreciation, timing of bonus and incentive accruals
and allowance for bad debts.

Net interest expense rose 8% during the quarter as lower borrowing levels were
offset by higher borrowing rates.  The effective income tax rate of 35.0%
reflected a marginal decrease from the effective rate of 36% a year ago.

The following table presents sales and operating income data for the Company's
two segments and on a consolidated basis for the first quarter, when compared to
the corresponding period a year ago. Operating results are discussed below.

<PAGE>

Glass Technologies (GT)
-----------------------
Net sales increased 16% over the prior period as a result of strong demand
throughout the segment and corresponding utilization of increased production
capacity.  First quarter operating income decreased 32% to $2.7 million compared
to $4.0 million in the year-ago quarter as continued progress at Linetec, Tru
Vue and Wausau Window & Wall Systems was more than offset by lower results at
Viracon and disappointing results at Viratec.

Viracon, the segment's largest operating unit, reported a 32% decline in
operating income despite a sales gain of 17% as compared to the prior year's
quarter. Higher depreciation costs from prior year capital additions and timing
differences between production and shipments contributed to the operating income
decline from the prior year's quarter.

GT's Viratec unit reported a larger operating loss over the same period a year
ago.  The relocated Optium CRT coating operation in San Diego, CA reported
continued increases in volume and efficiency.  However, these results were not
enough to offset the losses reported by the flat glass line in Faribault, MN due
to on-going operational difficulties with more complex products and increased
depreciation costs.

Although the first quarter is typically soft for Tru Vue, it recorded a 73%
operating income increase on an 18% sales increase compared to the prior year's
quarter due to continued increased operational efficiencies and demand for Tru
Vue's higher margin, value-added glass products.

The Apogee Wausau Group (AWG), which consists of Wausau Window and Wall Systems
and Linetec, reported combined sales gain of 13% and an operating income
increase of 11%, reflecting higher volume.

Glass Services (GS)
-------------------

Compared to the prior year quarter, GS sales for the quarter increased 12% to
$136.0 million.  The segment's operating income for the first quarter decreased
33% to $5.3 million from the year-ago quarter, as excellent results by Harmon,
Inc. were more than offset by continuing weakness in auto glass.

The auto glass business reported a 6% increase in sales compared to the first
quarter of the prior year.  Net sales of the auto glass retail unit remained
flat compared with those of a year ago, although unit volume decreased by 8%.
Net sales of the distribution and manufacturing units of auto glass increased
over a year ago.  A significant decrease in operating income was primarily the
result of continued soft demand and pricing pressures in the retail auto glass
business.  To respond to changing market conditions, the retail auto glass
business was restructured during fiscal 2000. Approximately 40 retail stores are
expected to be closed during fiscal 2001.

Harmon, Inc., the Company's full service building glass installation and repair
business, reported a 42% increase in sales and a significant increase in
operating income for the quarter as compared to the same quarter a year ago.

On June 13, 2000, the Company and PPG Industries of Pittsburgh announced that
they have agreed to combine their U.S. automotive replacement glass distribution
businesses in a new entity, PPG Auto Glass.  On June 26, 2000, the Company and
PPG were notified by the Federal Trade Commission that they had received early
termination of the waiting period for their filings under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Improvement Act regarding the proposed joint venture.  The venture is
anticipated to close and begin operations later this summer.  See Item 5 for
more information.

Discontinued Operations
------------------------

In fiscal 1999, Apogee's Board of Directors authorized the divestiture of the
detention/security and domestic curtainwall operations.  In late 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. On December 3, 1998, the segment executed the
sale of its detention/security business, effective November 28, 1998. On May 13,
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

                                       9
<PAGE>

business. Accordingly, these businesses are presented as discontinued operations
in the accompanying financial statements and notes. Prior periods have been
restated.

Backlog
-------
At June 3, 2000, Apogee's consolidated backlog was $188 million, up 7% from the
$175 million reported at February 26, 2000. The backlogs of GT's operations
represented over 65% of Apogee's consolidated backlog.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
Financial Condition
-------------------
Net cash provided by operating activities

Cash provided by continuing operating activities in the first quarter was $14.9
million for the quarter versus $7.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2000.
The $14.9 million figure represents mainly the combination of net earnings and
noncash charges such as depreciation and amortization as well as a $3.4 million
decrease in working capital, excluding cash, which resulted from decreased
inventories and increased accounts payable and accruals, offset by decreased
income taxes.

Net cash used in investing activities
Additions to property, plant and equipment during the quarter totaled
approximately $3.6 million, down significantly from the $24.9 million from the
prior year quarter.

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 for fiscal 2000.

Net cash provided by financing activities

Total borrowings stood at $152.2 million at June 3, 2000, down from the $164.6
million outstanding at February 26, 2000.  The majority of all of the Company's
long-term debt consisted of bank borrowings.   The borrowings, along with cash
provided by operating activities, were sufficient to finance the period's
investing activities and cash dividend requirements. At June 3, 2000, long-term
debt stood at 52% of total capitalization, 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 Industries of Pittsburgh to
combine their U.S. automotive replacement glass distribution businesses.  The
amendment resulted in a decrease in borrowing capacity from $253 million to $200
million.

The Company anticipates outstanding borrowings to decline over the course of the
year.  The Company believes that cash from operating activities and the
available credit facility provide adequate liquidity for the remainder of the
fiscal year.

Shareholders' Equity
--------------------
At June 3, 2000, Apogee's shareholders' equity stood at $138.8 million. Book
value per share was $5.00, 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 our stock-based
compensation plans accounted for the increase, slightly offset by dividends
paid.

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.

Cautionary Statement
--------------------
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 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:
whether the cost savings programs implemented at the auto glass businesses will
lead to improved operating results, the continuation of unfavorable industry
conditions in the auto glass businesses, whether the Company's proposed
automotive replacement glass distribution joint venture with PPG Industries will
successfully combine the merged businesses or, that once combined the venture
will achieve favorable short-term or long-term operating results,  whether other
strategic alternatives being considered for the auto glass businesses will be
available on terms favorable to the Company, whether the production ramp-ups of
new or expanded plant capacity in the Glass Technologies  (GT) segment will
proceed as anticipated and will lead to successful operating results for those
companies now or in the future, whether demand for GT products and services will
continue at present rates and whether generally favorable economic conditions
will continue.

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.

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 $1.1 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 June 3, 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.

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 June 3, 2000,
the Company did not have any forward contracts outstanding as the Company had no
material foreign exchange exposure.

                               OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 5.  Other Information
--------------------------

    On June 13, 2000, the Company and PPG Industries of Pittsburgh announced
    that they have agreed to combine their U.S. automotive replacement glass
    distribution businesses in a new entity, PPG Auto Glass, LLC.  PPG will hold
    a 66 percent interest and the Company a 34% interest in the new company.

    The Company operates about 75 wholesale distribution branches and PPG
    operates more than 110.  The new venture will not include PPG's auto
    replacement glass production and truckload sales business, or the Company's
    manufacturing and retail installation operations.  The new venture is
    expected to employ more than 1,200 people from PPG's and the Company's
    existing auto replacement glass distribution units.

    On June 26, 2000, the Company and PPG were notified by the Federal Trade
    Commission that they had received early termination of the waiting period
    for their filings under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Improvement Act regarding the
    proposed joint venture.  This was the last significant condition to closing
    the venture.  The venture is anticipated to close and begin operations later
    this summer.
