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
    September 2, 2000 and August 28, 1999, the results of operations for the
    three months and six months ended September 2, 2000 and August 28, 1999 and
    cash flows for the six months ended September 2, 2000 and August 28, 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 six months ended September 2, 2000 and
    August 28, 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 six month figures contain twenty
    seven weeks whereas fiscal 2000 six month figures contain twenty six weeks.

4.  Investments in Affiliates
    -------------------------
    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 September 2, 2000, the investment in PPG Auto Glass is $30.8
    million, the majority of which is an inventory contribution by the Company
    of $28.6 million. The Company's share of earnings will be recorded beginning
    in the third quarter. The Company's investment in TerraSun LLC relates to a
    research and development venture. No dividends from investments in
    affiliates were paid in the second quarter.

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 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 September 2, 2000, accruals totaling $22.6 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 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.

6.  Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
    --------------------------------------
    At September 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 September 2, 2000 was approximately $5.2 million.
    The Company has also entered into a number of noncompete agreements for the
    benefit of the Company. As of September 2, 2000, we were committed to make
    future payments of $2.6 million under such agreements.

    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 second quarter ended September 2, 2000 were $236.4 million, a
9% increase over the $217.0 million reported for the prior year second quarter.
Second quarter earnings from continuing operations of $4.2 million, or 15 cents
per share diluted, were 21% lower than last year's $5.3 million, or 19 cents per
share diluted. Auto glass distribution results are included for two months in
the current year second quarter compared to three months in the prior year
second quarter due to the formation of the joint venture with PPG Industries
(PPG). Also, prior year second quarter net sales have been restated to reflect
the planned exit of the Company's interest in 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.

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 11%, to
$473.6 million, compared to $426.6 million a year ago while earnings from
continuing operations fell 39% to $6.2 million, or 22 cents per share diluted,
from $10.1 million, or 36 cents per share diluted, in the prior year. Year-to-
date net earnings decreased 67% to $6.2 million, or 22 cents per share diluted,
from $18.6 million, or 67 cents per share diluted, in the prior year. EBITDA
(Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for continuing
operations) was $19.9 million for the second quarter, a 2% decrease from $20.3
million reported for the prior year second quarter.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2001 Compared to Second Quarter Fiscal 2000
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The following table compares three and six month results with corresponding
periods a year ago, as a percentage of sales, for each caption. Fiscal 2000
results have been restated to reflect the effect of discontinued operations.

</TABLE>

Second quarter consolidated gross profit, as a percentage of net sales was
19.9%, down from 21.0% in the prior year second quarter due to a decrease at
Glass Services resulting primarily from transitional changes in mix resulting
from the joint venture with PPG offset by an improvement at Glass Technologies.
In addition, gross margin was affected by favorable underwriting activity in the
prior year second quarter at the Company's insurance subsidiary and additional
expenses in the current year quarter related to health insurance.

Second quarter selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses rose by $2.9
million, or 9% over the prior year quarter, while SG&A as a percent of sales
remained unchanged.  The increase in expenses is primarily due to timing of
accruals related to bonuses, an increase in depreciation incurred due to
information systems capitalized in the prior year, offset by a decrease in
selling and marketing expenses.

Net interest expense increased slightly during the quarter as lower borrowing
levels were offset by higher borrowing rates.  The six-month effective income
tax rate of 35.0% was down slightly from 36.0% a year ago.

The following table presents sales and operating income for the Company's two
segments and on a consolidated basis for three and six months compared to the

Glass Technologies (GT)
-----------------------
Net sales at Glass Technologies increased 19% to $104.9 million in the second
quarter, while operating income increased 5% to $4.8 million. The increase in
operating income is due to favorable results at Viratec, the Apogee Wausau Group
(AWG), and Tru Vue, offset by a decrease in operating results at Viracon.

Viracon, the segment's largest operating unit, reported a net sales increase of
13%, however, operating income decreased for the quarter compared to last year's
second quarter.  Customer demand for Viracon's high-performance architectural
glass products remained strong and the Statesboro facility has increased its
capacity utilization compared to the prior year quarter.  Strong demand in
certain products, however,  changed Viracon's product mix which contributed to
decreased efficiencies as well as extended delivery times resulting in the
income decrease.  In addition, the operating income decrease was also affected
by increases in labor costs, a prior year second quarter insurance adjustment
and an increase in depreciation expense due to prior year capital additions.
Backlog at September 2, 2000 remained at near-record levels of $45 million.  The
product mix issues discussed above are expected to slow profitability growth in
the second half of fiscal 2001.

Viratec reported an increase in sales and operating income for the quarter
compared to last year's second quarter due to improved operational efficiencies.

Tru Vue recorded a sales increase of 20% and an operating income increase of 11%
for the quarter as compared to last year's second quarter due to continued
increased operational efficiencies and demand for Tru Vue's higher margin,
value-added glass products.  Also, in the second quarter, Tru Vue completed the
acquisition of Balangier Fine Art & Designs (Balangier), the operating results
of which were not significant to the quarter.  Balangier 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 increase of 14% and an operating income increase
of 33% for the quarter as compared to the same quarter a year ago due to
increased efficiencies and sales volume increases.  However, due to product mix
issues, Wausau Window & Wall Systems has been unable to fill its available short
lead-time capacity in the second half of fiscal 2001.

Glass Services (GS)
-------------------
Net sales of Glass Services increased 2% to $134.0 million in the second
quarter.  Operating income for the segment decreased 11% to $6.0 million from
the prior year quarter.

The auto glass business reported a 3% decrease in sales compared to the prior
year quarter, in addition to an operating income decrease due mainly to the
activity of the distribution unit discussed below.  Net sales of the auto glass
retail unit decreased slightly compared with those of a year ago.  Retail unit
volume also decreased 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 expenses.  Net sales of the manufacturing unit increased slightly,
however, operating income was down.  Net sales and operating income for the
distribution unit decreased compared to the prior year quarter.  This decrease
is due mainly to distribution results of two months in the current year second
quarter versus three months in the prior year second quarter with the formation
of the joint venture with PPG.  The joint venture 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. In the second half of fiscal 2001, the auto glass
business is expecting a slight improvement in operating results due to continued
cost reductions.

Harmon, Inc., the Company's full service building glass installation and repair
business, reported a 25% increase in net sales and 43% increase in operating
income for the quarter as compared to the prior year quarter, mainly due to
increased volume and improved margins.

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 fiscal 1999, Apogee's
Board of Directors authorized the divestiture of the detention/security and
domestic curtainwall operations. In December 1998, the segment 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 September 2, 2000, the Company's consolidated backlog was $196.7 million, up
13% from the $174.8 million reported a year ago.  The backlogs of GT's
operations represented 67% 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 six months ended September 2, 2000
totaled $28.7 million compared to $38.9 million in the same prior year period.
The decrease is due to the change in accruals for discontinued operations, a
decrease in net earnings and increased depreciation expense.  Also, changes in
operating assets and liabilities provided cash of $3.9 million, compared to $1.4
million in the same period last year, the increase due mainly to an increase in
accounts payable and accrued expenses offset by an increase in receivables.  At
quarter-end, working capital was $45.0 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.

Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended September 2, 2000
was $8.3 million compared to $34.8 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 $146.4 million at September 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.  At September 2, 2000, long-term debt was 51% 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 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 September 2, 2000, Apogee's shareholders' equity was $142.1 million.  Book
value per share was $5.11, up from $4.97 per share at February 26, 2000, with
outstanding common shares increasing

                                       11
<PAGE>

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.

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 September 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.

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 September 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 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 ongoing reorganization and realignment and cost savings programs
implemented at the replacement auto glass retail operations will lead to
improved operating results and whether the unfavorable industry conditions in
the replacement auto glass industry, including excess capacities and narrowing
margins, will continue in the future. In addition, there is no assurance that
PPG Auto Glass, Apogee's automotive replacement glass distribution joint venture
with PPG, will achieve favorable short-term or long-term operating results or
any anticipated efficiencies or be able to improve or maintain margins. In
addition, there is no assurance that PPG Auto Glass, Apogee's automotive
replacement glass distribution joint venture with PPG, willa achieve favorable
short-term or long-term operating results or any anticipating efficiencies or be
able to improve or maintain margins, In addition,

                                      12





<PAGE>

there can be no assurances that operations of Apogee and its business units will
not be negatively affected by recent departures of senior management personnel
and its flat management structure, whether the production ramp-ups of new or
expanded plant capacity in the 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.
