NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


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 May 30, 1998 and May 31, 1997, and the results of operations and
cash flows for each of the thirteen week periods ended May 30, 1998 and
May 31, 1997. 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 results of operations for
the thirteen week periods ended May 30, 1998 and May 31, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

During the first quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company adopted Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (FAS 130), "Reporting
Comprehensive Income." The adoption of FAS 130 had no effect on the
consolidated financial statements.

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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SALES AND EARNINGS
- ------------------
Net sales were $233.1 million, a 4% increase over the $223.9 million reported a
year ago. First quarter earnings fell 43% to $3.9 million, or 14 cents per
share, from $6.8 million, or 24 cents per share, a year ago. Last year's net
sales have been restated to reflect the deconsolidation of the Company's
European curtainwall operations, reflecting our ceding of control over those
entities.

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

Total $ 13,328 $ 9,278 (30)
======== =========

Glass Technologies (GT)
- -----------------------
First quarter earnings decreased to $3.1 million compared to $5.3 million in the
year-ago quarter. Net sales continued to improve increasing 5% over the prior
period. Earnings dipped due to the temporary suspension of Viratec's Optium(TM)
cathode ray tube (CRT) coating line in conjunction with its relocation from
Minnesota to the West Coast, the effect of production expansion and softening in
selected products due to the Asian Crisis.

Viracon, the segment's largest operating unit, produced another quarter of
improved results, with earnings rising 26% on a sales gain of 13%. Customer
demand for Viracon's high-performance architectural glass products remained
strong. Despite its seasonally soft first quarter, the segment's Tru Vue unit
recorded a net sales improvement.

GT's Viratec unit reported an operating loss for the quarter compared to
operating income a year earlier. In addition to the suspension of the Optium
coating line, GT's Viratec unit also was adversely affected by lower demand for
its anti-glare filter and front-surface mirror products due to the economic
slowdown in Asia.

GT continued to proceed with its announced capital expenditure program. The most
significant projects were the construction of a new Viracon facility in
Statesboro, Georgia, and the relocation of the Optium CRT coating line to a West
Coast location, as noted above. The Optium coating line is expected to be
operating by calendar year-end, while the Statesboro facility is anticipated to
begin generating significant sales in the next fiscal year.


7
Auto Glass (AG)
- ---------------
AG continued its revenue improvements generating a net sales gain of 7% over the
prior period. Earnings decreased from $6.3 million to $4.9 million due to
increases in selling and administrative expenses. Such increases resulted from
investments in information systems technology and an aggressive advertising
campaign. These investments are expected to contribute to future earnings.

On May 29, 1998, the segment acquired an 80% interest in VIS'N Service
Corporation (VIS'N), an insurance claims and policy processing outsource company
headquartered in Red Wing, Minnesota. This acquisition will expand the segment's
capabilities to outsource insurance claims and policy processing beyond its
traditional auto glass market.

During the quarter, AG began to see additional sales as insurance companies
adjusted their allocations of business in response to a merger of two
industry participants. The segment also continued to proceed with efforts to
improve productivity for its auto glass repair and replacement operations.

At the close of the first quarter, AG had 346 retail locations, 73 wholesale
depots and 8 Midas Muffler franchises.

Building Products & Services (BPS)
- ----------------------------------
The Building Products & Services segment (BPS) earned $1.1 million in the first
quarter of fiscal 1999 compared to an operating profit of $1.7 million in the
comparable period a year ago. Net sales were flat compared to last year, which
have been restated to reflect the deconsolidation of European curtainwall
operations. Last year's results benefited from the completion of one significant
curtainwall project in the first quarter.

For the quarter, domestic curtainwall operations reported breakeven results on
an anticipated net sales decline of 28%. The Detention/Security group reported
flat net sales and breakeven results for the period due to losses from a
start-up operation. The segment's Architectural Products and Full Service units
reported solid profits on improved net sales.

The exit from European curtainwall operations remained on track, and the Asian
curtainwall unit had nearly completed the remaining projects in its backlog. All
of the segment's Asian projects are expected to be substantially complete by the
end of the second quarter.


Backlog
- -------
At May 30, 1998, Apogee's consolidated backlog was $312 million, up slightly
from February 28, 1998. The backlogs of BPS's operations represented over 80% of
Apogee's consolidated backlog. The domestic curtainwall backlog stood at $96
million. The Asian curtainwall backlog declined to $5 million as the remaining
projects neared completion. GT's Viracon operation reported a solid backlog of
orders for its architectural glass products and Viratec Thin Films' backlog more
than doubled from last fiscal year-end, primarily due to orders of Optium coated
products.

===== =====

Effective tax rate 37.0% 36.3%

On a consolidated basis, cost of sales, as a percentage of net sales, rose
slightly. The primary factors underlying this increase were the effect of the
planned suspension of the Optium cathode ray tube (CRT) coating line and the
absence of significant margin recognized upon the completion of one large
curtainwall project included in last year's first quarter results. These items
were partly offset by productivity gains at AG, Viracon and BPS's Architectural
Products unit, and a continuation of a change in sales mix reflecting higher GT
and AG revenues and lower curtainwall revenues.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses rose by $3.7 million, or
11%. The rise included increased investment in information systems technology,
and higher employee and advertising costs. Interest expense rose over last year
primarily due to higher borrowing levels. The effective income tax rate of 37.0%
was up slightly from 36.3% a year ago.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
Financial Condition
- -------------------
NET CASH PROVIDED BY OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Operating activities produced $27.1 million in cash flow for the quarter. That
figure reflected the combination of net earnings, noncash charges and a $15.9
million reduction in working capital, excluding cash. At quarter end, the
Company's working capital stood at $72.4 million. The primary factors underlying
the reduction in working capital were the receipt of approximately $9.6 million
in refundable income taxes and an increase in accounts payable.
Offsetting these items were increases in accounts receivable and in costs in
excess of billings on uncompleted contracts.

NET CASH PROVIDED BY FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Bank borrowings stood at $152.5 million at May 30, 1998, slightly higher than
the $150.5 million outstanding at February 28, 1998. The nominal additional
borrowings reflected normal working capital variations. Cash provided by
operating activities was sufficient to finance the period's investing activities
and cash dividend requirements. At May 30, 1998, long-term debt stood at 58% of
total capitalization.

In May 1998, the Company obtained a five-year, committed secured credit facility
in the amount of $275 million. This new credit facility requires Apogee to
maintain minimum levels of net worth and certain financial ratios, and is
collateralized by the Company's receivables, inventory, equipment and
intangibles. This facility replaced a $150 million five-year, multi-currency
committed credit facility which had been obtained in May 1996.

The Company anticipates bank borrowings to increase over the next few quarters
as capital spending for productive capacity increases and working capital
requirements are expected to exceed the Company's cash flow from operating
activities.

9
NET CASH USED IN INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Additions to property, plant and equipment during the quarter totaled
approximately $9.5 million. Major items included expenditures for the GT
expansion activities noted above as well as expenditures on information systems
projects throughout the Company. Capital expenditures are expected to increase
primarily due to capacity additions at the Company's new Statesboro, Georgia
facility and other capacity expansions in GT. The AG segment completed the VIS'N
Service Corporation acquisition and one acquisition of retail auto glass
replacement stores for a total of $4.7 million.

Cash increased $3.8 million for the quarter.

Shareholders' Equity
- --------------------
At May 30, 1998, Apogee's shareholders' equity stood at $113.5 million. Book
value per share was $4.11, up from $3.99 per share at February 28, 1998, 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.

Impact of Year 2000
- -------------------
We are reviewing the potential impact of the "Year 2000" date change which
involves the inability of certain software and systems to properly recognize and
process date information relating to the Year 2000. We have assigned a team to
evaluate the nature and extent of the work required to make our systems,
products and infrastructure Year 2000 compliant. A number of existing systems
projects are either underway or under review within our various business units
to incorporate Year 2000 compliance, the cost of which has not been determined.
We continue to evaluate the estimated costs associated with our efforts to
ensure that our systems, products and infrastructure are Year 2000 compliant.
While these on-going efforts will involve additional costs, we believe, based on
available information, that we are and will continue to effectively manage our
Year 2000 transition without any material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations or financial condition.

10
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
- --------------------
A number of factors should be considered in conjunction with 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 factors are set forth in the cautionary statements filed as Exhibit 99 to
the Company's 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
or restructuring of business units, expected cost savings from restructurings
cannot be fully realized or realized within the expected timeframe, net sales
following restructurings are lower than expected, costs or difficulties related
to the operation of the businesses or execution of restructurings or exit
activities are greater than expected, the impact of foreign currency markets,
the integration of acquisitions, and the realization of expected economies
gained through expansion and information systems technology. The Company wishes
to caution investors and others to review the statements set forth in Exhibit 99
and that other factors may prove to be important in affecting the Company's
business or results of operations. These cautionary statements should be
considered in connection with this Form 10-Q, including the forward looking
statements contained in the Management's discussion and analysis of the
Company's three business segments. These cautionary statements are intended to
take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
