NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
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 1, 2001 and September 2, 2000, the results of operations
for the three months and six months ended September 1, 2001 and
September 2, 2000, and cash flows for the six months ended September 1,
2001 and September 2, 2000. 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 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 March 3,
2001. The results of operations for the three months and six months
ended September 1, 2001 and September 2, 2000 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. The fiscal 2002 six-month period,
ended September 1, 2001, contains 26 weeks whereas the fiscal 2001

==================== ====================
3. Investments
-----------
The Company has acquired, through joint ventures, investments that are
accounted for by the equity method. The nature and extent of these
investments change over time.
In July 2000, the Company and PPG Industries combined their U.S.
automotive replacement glass distribution businesses into the joint
venture, PPG Auto Glass, LLC (PPG Auto Glass), of which the Company has
a 34% interest. On September 1, 2002, the Company's investment in PPG
Auto Glass was $32.0 million, of which $7.4 million represents the
unamortized excess of the cost of the investment over the value of the
underlying net tangible assets when the joint venture was formed. This
excess is being amortized over a life of 20 years. In connection with
the formation of PPG Auto Glass, the Company agreed to supply the joint
venture, through PPG Industries, with most of its windshield fabrication
capacity on market-based terms and conditions. During the second quarter
of fiscal 2002, the Company, PPG Industries and PPG Auto Glass amended
the windshield supply agreements to permanently adjust pricing for the
windshields manufactured and sold to more accurately reflect market
pricing. As a result of these amendments, a portion of earnings that may
have previously been reported in equity in income from affiliated
companies were reported in operating income in the Auto Glass segment
for the current quarter. The impact on the current quarter results was
an increase to operating income of $3.0 million with an offset to income
from affiliated companies. Additionally, $1.8 million was recorded as a
one-time net increase to
6
operating income in the quarter as a result of these changes. In
addition, the Company's automobile windshield repair and replacement
business agreed to purchase most of its windshield needs from PPG Auto
Glass on market-based terms and conditions.
The Company's investment in TerraSun LLC relates to a research and
development joint venture of which the Company has a 50 percent
interest. As of late September, the Company has decided to discontinue
funding TerraSun operations. TerraSun has commenced winding down its
operations and intends to sell its tangible and intangible assets.
The Company's share of earnings for its affiliated companies is before
income taxes and includes amortization of the excess cost over the value
of the underlying net tangible assets and expenses retained by the
Company.
4. Discontinued Operations
-----------------------
During fiscal 2001, the Company completed the sale of substantially all
of the assets of VIS'N Service Corporation (VIS'N), a non-auto glass
focused, third-party administered claims processor, in two separate
transactions. This transaction effectively removed the Company from the
third-party administered claims processing business. This business is
presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial
statements and notes.
In fiscal 2000, the Company completed the sale of 100% of the stock of
its large-scale domestic curtainwall business, Harmon, Ltd. In fiscal
1999, the Company executed the sale of its detention/security business.
Combined with the fiscal 1998 exit from international curtainwall
operations, these transactions effectively removed the Company from the
large-scale construction business. These businesses are presented as
discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements and
notes.
At September 1, 2001, accruals totaling $21.5 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 two to three years. The primary
components of the accruals relate to the finalization of certain
international construction projects, legal costs and other costs
associated with the proceedings noted above.
5. Earnings Per Share

6. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
--------------------------------------
At September 1, 2001, the Company had ongoing letters of credit related
to its risk management programs, construction contracts and certain
industrial development bonds. The total value of
7
letters of credit under which the Company was obligated as of September
1, 2001 was approximately $13.9 million.
The Company has also entered into a number of noncompete agreements for
the benefit of the Company. As of September 1, 2001, we were committed
to make future payments of $1.0 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, the Company's construction businesses are
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, that none of
such claims will result in losses that would have a material adverse
effect on its financial condition.

8. New Accounting Standards
------------------------
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133 regarding accounting for
derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS No. 133, as amended
by SFAS No. 137 and No. 138, establishes accounting and reporting
standards requiring that derivative instruments (including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the
balance sheet either as an asset or liability measured at fair value.
SFAS No. 133 requires changes in the derivative's fair value to be
recognized in earnings or, for derivatives that hedge market risk
related to future cash flows, in accumulated other comprehensive
loss/income, unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The
Company adopted SFAS No. 133 on March 4, 2001 and determined its
derivative instruments, consisting of interest rate swap agreements,
qualify for hedge accounting treatment. The adoption resulted in the
Company recording the fair value of their interest rate swap agreements
as a liability with an offsetting adjustment to other comprehensive
earnings of $1.8 million. The net present liability associated with
these interest rate swap agreements was $2.3 million at September 1,
2001.
In June 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" and
SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS No. 141
requires business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 to be
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Under SFAS No.
142, amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets
will cease and instead the carrying value of these assets will be
evaluated for impairment by applying a fair-value based test on at
least an annual basis. The Company must adopt SFAS No. 142 on March 3,
2002. The
8
Company is evaluating the impact of these standards and has not yet
determined the effect of adoption on its financial position and 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 March 3, 2001 and the consolidated
financial statements, including the notes to consolidated financial statements,
included therein.
Sales and Earnings
------------------
Consolidated net sales for the second quarter ended September 1, 2001 were
$210.2 million, compared to $236.4 million in the same period last year.
Revenues were down 3% compared to the second quarter of last year after being
adjusted for the formation of the PPG Auto Glass, LLC joint venture in July
2000. Second quarter earnings were $0.36 diluted earnings per share, or $10.3
million, versus $0.15 diluted earnings per share, or $4.2 million, in the fiscal
2001 period.
Fiscal 2002 year-to-date figures include one less week compared to the
year-to-date period a year ago. Fiscal 2002 year-to-date net sales decreased
13%, to $413.8 million, compared to $473.6 million a year ago, while net
earnings increased 156% to $15.9 million, or $0.56 per share diluted, from $6.2
million, or $0.22 per share diluted, in the prior year. Fiscal 2002 year-to-date
net sales decreased 2%, compared to a year ago, after being adjusted for the
formation of the PPG Auto Glass, LLC joint venture.

Effective tax rate 31.0% 38.4% 31.0% 39.6%
Second quarter consolidated gross profit, as a percentage of net sales was
24.4%, up from 19.9% in the prior year second quarter. The primary factors
underlying the resulting increase in gross profit percentage were improved
manufacturing performance and improved volume and mix within the Architectural
segment, as well as cost reduction initiatives within the Automotive Replacement
Glass segment, offset by decreased margins at the Large-Scale Optical segment.
9
Second quarter selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses fell slightly
compared to the prior year quarter, but increased as a percent of net sales to
16.8% from 15.4%. Key components within the decrease in SG&A expenses are
decreased depreciation expense, offset by increased incentive accruals.
Net interest expense decreased 61%, compared to the prior-year quarter, as a
result of significantly lower borrowing levels and interest rates.
The Company's equity in income from affiliated companies was $0.3 million in the
second quarter of fiscal 2002 versus an equity in loss of $0.7 million in the
prior-year quarter. The current year results include the Company's portion of
the results of the PPG Auto Glass joint venture formed in July 2000, offset by
continued funding of the TerraSun joint venture (see note 3 above). In late
September, the Company decided to discontinue funding TerraSun operations.
TerraSun has commenced winding down its operations and intends to sell its
tangible and intangible assets. The discontinuance of TerraSun operations is not
anticipated to have an adverse impact on the Company's operations or outlook for
the balance of fiscal 2002 or fiscal 2003.
The effective income tax rate of 31.0% decreased from the effective rate of
38.4% a year ago. The reduction is due to the relationship of book and tax
differences as a percentage of pre-tax income.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2002, as expected, the Company made various
payments totaling $0.9 million toward discontinued operation items. These
payments, offset by minimal cash receipts, reduced the reserves for the quarter.
The Company believes its reserves for discontinued operations are adequate.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company reported earnings from
continuing operations of $10.3 million, or $0.36 diluted earnings per share.
This compared to earnings from continuing operations of $4.2 million, or $0.15
diluted earnings per share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. The return on
average shareholders' equity was 6.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2002 and
3.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2001.
Segment Analysis
----------------
During fiscal 2001, the Company realigned its operating business units into

Net sales for the Architectural segment grew 6 percent to $120.0 million,
compared to $113.1 million in the prior-year quarter. Operating income increased
50 percent to $9.0 million, from $6.0 million a year ago. The majority of the
improvement in operating income was driven by strong sales mix changes to higher
margin products and efficiencies in manufacturing in the glass fabricating
group, partially offset by slightly lower margins in the installation side of
the business due to the timing of completion of jobs.
The Architectural segment backlog, at September 1, 2001, remained at record
levels of $190.4 million. This is an increase of 7% compared to the second
quarter of fiscal 2001.
Large-Scale Optical Technologies (LSO)
--------------------------------------
Second quarter net sales for LSO were $15.0 million, compared to $21.6 million
in the prior-year period. The segment reported an operating loss of $1.5
million, compared to operating income of $1.4 million in the same period last
year. The segment's performance has been significantly impacted by the severe
downturn in the PC industry and a slowdown in retail markets.
Automotive Replacement Glass and Services (Auto Glass)
------------------------------------------------------
Net sales at the Auto Glass segment declined 26% to $75.2 million from $101.7
million a year ago. Segment revenues, which decreased 9 percent compared to the
second quarter of last year after being adjusted for the PPG Auto Glass joint
venture, continue to be impacted by strategies initiated last year to reduce
low-margin business.
The Auto Glass segment reported operating income of $8.9 million, compared to
$3.4 million in the same period last year. Approximately 70 percent of the
improvement resulted from the amendments made to the supply agreements related
to the PPG Auto Glass joint venture, owned 34 percent by the Company and 66
percent by PPG Industries, and approximately one-third was a one-time net
increase. These amendments permanently adjusted pricing for the Company's
windshield manufacturing business, resulting in higher operating income for the
segment in the current quarter and in future quarters. These amendments led to
lower earnings during the current quarter and into the future for PPG Auto
Glass, which is reported in equity in income of affiliated companies. The
remainder of the increase was the result of operational improvements and cost
reductions implemented at our retail facilities beginning late last year.
Consolidated Backlog
--------------------
On September 1, 2001, the Company's consolidated backlog was $196.4 million,
which remained steady from the same period a year ago. The backlog of the
Architectural segment, which remained constant from year-end, represented 97
percent of the Company's consolidated backlog. Backlog at the LSO segment fell
$4.6 million from year-end, mainly as a result of closing the Viratec San Diego
facility in the first quarter of fiscal 2002.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
Financial Condition
-------------------
Net cash provided by operating activities
Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended September 1, 2001
totaled $23.9 million compared to $30.4 million in the same prior-year period.
The decrease is due to the timing of collections of receivables and payments on
expenditures, offset by higher net earnings and timing of tax payments.
Net cash used in investing activities
New capital investment through the first six months of fiscal 2002 totaled $5.5
million, versus $9.7 million in the same period a year ago. For fiscal 2002, the
Company expects to incur capital expenditures as necessary to maintain existing
facilities. Fiscal 2002 capital expenditures are expected to be approximately
$20 million.
11
Net cash provided by financing activities
Bank borrowings were $87.1 million at September 1, 2001, down from the $104.5
million outstanding at March 3, 2001. The majority of the Company's long-term
debt consisted of bank borrowings under a revolving credit agreement. Cash
provided by operating activities was sufficient to finance the period's
investing activities and cash dividend requirements. At September 1, 2001, the
Company's debt-to-total capital ratio declined to 35 percent, a significant
improvement from 51 percent at the end of last year's second quarter.
Effective June 1, 2000, the Company amended its revolving credit agreement in
conjunction with the 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 1, 2001, Apogee's shareholders' equity was $161.6 million. Book
value per share was $5.72, up from $5.33 per share at March 3, 2001, 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.
Outlook
-------
Despite the softness in the LSO segment markets and minor project delays in the
Architectural segment, the Company anticipates earnings from continuing
operations to be significantly better than last year's earnings. Fiscal 2001
diluted net earnings per share were $0.54, of which $0.48 was from continuing
operations.
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 $300,000 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 1, 2001, the Company has
interest swaps covering $35 million of variable rate debt. The net present
liability associated with these swaps is $2.3 million at September 1, 2001.
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.
12
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 1,
2001, the Company did not have any forward contracts outstanding.
Cautionary Statement
--------------------
This discussion contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements 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 or beliefs 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, those
noted below. There can be no assurances given that the ongoing reorganization
and realignment of Harmon AutoGlass will lead to successful operating results
now or in the future. There can be no assurances that PPG Auto Glass, Apogee's
automotive replacement glass distribution joint venture with PPG Industries,
will achieve favorable long-term operating results. In addition, there can be no
assurances that Apogee's expected Architectural segment growth due to its
strength serving high-end markets with value-added products will not be impacted
by the slowing economy. There also can be no assurances that there will not be
further erosion in the Large-Scale Optical segment revenues due to the dramatic
slump in the PC industry and a slowdown in the picture-framing and pre-framed
art retail markets.
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.
