Sales and Earnings
- ------------------
Third quarter net earnings of $7.3 million, or $0.26 cents per share diluted,
were $17.7 million higher than last year's loss of $10.4 million, or $0.37 cents
per share diluted. Revenues of $236.0 million for the quarter were relatively
flat as compared to revenues of $235.0 a year ago. Operating income of $13.9
million compared to an operating loss of $16.6 million in last year's third
quarter, which included $31.2 million in operating losses related to Building
Products & Services' exited European curtainwall operations. The increase in
Apogee's operating income was primarily due to a significant improvement in
Building Products & Services' results; last year's results included a $26.0
million pre-tax provision for restructuring and other unusual items mainly
related to the segment's international curtainwall operations. A 49% decline in
operating income at Glass Technologies partly offset this improvement.

Year-to-date net earnings increased to $20.3 million, or $0.73 cents per share
diluted, from $6.0 million, or $0.21 cents per share diluted, in the prior year.
Revenues for the first nine months increased 2%, to $720.0 million, compared to
$704.9 million a year ago.

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 nine months when compared to the corresponding periods a year ago.

</TABLE>

Glass Technologies (GT)
- -----------------------
Third quarter sales and earnings results at Glass Technologies were below the
record sales and operating income reported a year ago, but showed improvement
over second quarter. GT sales decreased 11% to $54.7 million in the third
quarter, while operating income fell 49% to $4.2 million in the quarter. The
economic slowdown in Asia was a primary factor affecting the segment's results
as sales of Viratec's anti-glare filter and front-surface mirror products to
Asia, both directly and indirectly, continued to trail sales from a year ago.
The effects of the segments' many capital projects also contributed to the
segment's lower earnings. In addition, Viracon reported lower sales despite
solid plant productivity, as production of the unit's architectural glass
products outpaced shipments by a considerable margin. We expect shipments to
exceed production levels in the fourth quarter as releases are made to
customers.

Viracon, the segment's largest unit, reported 11% lower net sales, while
earnings were down 39% compared to last year's very strong third quarter. These
results were due primarily to the factors noted above. Viracon continued to run
at a high level of productivity despite its continuing capacity limitations,
which were partially relieved by modest production from temporary operations
used in the training of employees for the new Statesboro, Georgia facility.
Construction of Viracon's new facility remained on schedule. Customer demand for
Viracon's high-performance architectural glass products remained strong.

7
Start-up of the Optium CRT coating line and lower demand for Viratec's
anti-glare filter and front-surface mirror products caused Viratec to report an
operating loss for the quarter compared to solid operating earnings a year
earlier. The Viratec unit's Optium CRT coating line went online in September and
is ramping up production to meet the sales orders received from customers.
Viratec continued to proceed with the addition of a new flat glass coating line,
which is expected to go on-line next spring.

As compared to last year, third quarter operating income at Tru Vue held steady
on a marginal sales increase. Also, during the third quarter, Tru Vue broke
ground on a new facility in the Chicago area. The new facility, expected to be
completed in the spring of 1999, should increase productivity at this business
unit.

Based on its backlog, strong demand for most of its products and the return to
full production of Viratec's Optium CRT coating line, fourth quarter earnings
for GT are expected to increase over third quarter results. However, GT will
fall short of last year's fourth quarter and full year operating earnings.

Auto Glass (AG)
- ---------------
As compared to last year, AG sales for the quarter increased 9% to $91.1
million. Operating income increased 36% to $4.0 million, compared to a year ago,
due partly to a continuing effort to increase sales to national insurance
companies. AG also continued to proceed with efforts to improve productivity for
its auto glass repair and replacement retail operations. For the first nine
months of fiscal 1999, same-location retail unit sales fell slightly. At the
close of the third quarter, AG had 340 retail locations, 75 wholesale depots and
8 Midas Muffler franchises.

While the segment expects to report a loss in its seasonally slow fourth
quarter, the segment expects to report year-over-year improvement for the
quarter.

Building Products & Services (BPS)
- ----------------------------------
Third quarter operating income at Building Products & Services climbed to $6.0
million compared with an operating loss of $27.5 million in last year's third
quarter, which included the $26.0 million pre-tax charge noted above. Sales were
at the prior year level of $93.1 million, which were restated to reflect the
deconsolidation of the segment's European curtainwall operations. The quarter's
results benefited from the impact of strategies employed last year by Building
Products & Services - downsizing of operations, exiting from the segment's
international curtainwall operations, and adherence to defined margin and
investment parameters.

Although profitable, domestic curtainwall operations reported operating earnings
below last year despite a marginal increase in sales. Last year's results
benefited from the completion of a large project. The Detention/Security group
also reported decreased earnings despite increased sales levels. Full Service
and Architectural Products both reported solid results with earnings well above
a year ago.

As of the end of the third fiscal quarter, the activities associated with the
exit from European curtainwall operations remained on schedule, and the Asian
curtainwall unit had substantially completed the remaining projects in its
backlog.

On December 3, 1998, the segment executed the sale of its Detention/Security
business, effective November 28, 1998. The sale was made in an effort to better
focus on Apogee's core businesses. The Detention/Security business unit
represented 8% of Apogee's consolidated sales and less than 3% of Apogee's
consolidated operating income for the three quarters ended November 28, 1998.

Backlog
- -------
On November 28, 1998, Apogee's consolidated backlog stood at $240 million, down
26% from the $327 million reported a year ago. The backlogs of BPS's operations
represented 75% of Apogee's consolidated

8
backlog. The most notable variances were the anticipated declines in BPS's New
Construction unit's international backlogs and the elimination of
Detention/Security's backlog as a result of the sale of that unit as mentioned
above. These decreases were offset by significant backlog increases at Viracon,
Viratec and BPS's domestic New Construction unit.

Income tax rate 35.0% (43.7)% 36.3% 15.0%

</TABLE>

On a consolidated basis for the three-month and nine-month periods, gross profit
fell as a percentage of net sales. The primary factors underlying this decline
were the effect of the suspension of the Optium CRT coating line through the
second quarter, temporary productivity issues at Viracon early in the second
quarter and the absence of the significant margin recognized upon the completion
of one large curtainwall project included in last year's results. These items
were partly offset by solid productivity gains at BPS's Architectural and Full
Service business units and the continuation of a change in sales mix reflecting
lower curtainwall revenues.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses rose by $3.5 million, or
11%, for the quarter, and by $11.8 million, or 12%, for nine months. The
increases included higher spending for information systems technology at several
businesses, and higher employee and advertising costs. Interest expense rose
over last year for both the three-month and nine-month periods, due to higher
borrowing levels and interest rates. The nine-month effective income tax rate
was 36.3% versus a 15.0% tax rate last year with the fiscal 1998 tax rate
reflecting the marginal tax benefit associated with the $26.0 million charge
related to international curtainwall operations described above.

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

Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended November 28,
1998 totaled $40.1 million. That figure primarily reflected the combination of
net earnings and noncash charges, such as depreciation and amortization. At
quarter end, the Company's working capital stood at $81.3 million. Working
capital, excluding cash, remained essentially unchanged from the beginning of
the year. Major variances within the working capital accounts included growth in
receivables and inventories along with a reduction in payables/accruals.
Offsetting these increases in working capital were the receipt of approximately
$10

9
million in refundable income taxes, which was used to reduce outstanding debt,
and an increase in billings in excess of costs and earnings on uncompleted
contracts.

Net cash provided by financing activities

Bank borrowings stood at $167.0 million at November 28, 1998; 11% higher than
the $150.5 million outstanding at February 28, 1998. The additional borrowings
were primarily attributable to the excess of capital spending and cash dividends
over cash generated from operating activities. At November 28, 1998, long-term
debt stood at 52% of total capitalization.

Debt was decreased by $22.5 million the week following quarter-end. This
decrease was attributable to the use of proceeds from the sale of the
Detention/Security business unit of BPS.

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 total
commitment of the credit facility was reduced by the sales price, net of taxes,
of the sale of the Detention/Security business.

In December 1998, Apogee entered into an interest rate swap agreement, which
expires in fiscal 2004, which effectively converted $25 million of its variable
rate borrowings into a fixed rate obligation.

The Company anticipates bank borrowings to increase over the remainder of the
fiscal year as capital spending, working capital and dividend requirements are
expected to exceed the Company's cash provided by operating activities.

Net cash used in investing activities

Additions to property, plant and equipment during the nine months ended November
28, 1998 totaled approximately $52.9 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 for
the remainder of the year are expected to be significant primarily due to the
completion of the Company's new Statesboro, Georgia architectural glass
fabrication facility and other planned capacity expansions in GT.

Cash decreased $6.6 million for the nine months ended November 28, 1998.

Shareholders' Equity
- --------------------
At November 28, 1998, Apogee's shareholders' equity stood at $128.1 million.
Book value per share was $4.63, 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 the Company's
stock-based compensation plans accounted for the increase, slightly offset by
dividends paid.

Impact of Year 2000
- -------------------
The Company has been evaluating, with the assistance of independent software
consultants, 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 all the Company's key suppliers and customers.

The assessment phase for the Company's IT systems is approximately 80% complete.
Remediation and implementation of the core operating and application programs
within the IT systems is approximately 25% complete, and the intention is to be
completed by May 1999. The costs related to Year 2000 to complete this activity
should not exceed $15 million of both capital and expense, of which
approximately

10
$2 million has been incurred to date. Of this projected cost, approximately $6
million is related to accelerated replacement due to Year 2000 concerns.

The Company's businesses are approximately 15% complete in the assessment phase
regarding embedded operating and applications software and hardware within its
non-IT systems. The Company expects to complete that assessment by February
1999. Although the Company is still in the assessment phase, based on currently
known data about its non-IT systems, the Company believes that the requirements
for Year 2000 remediation of its non-IT systems will be limited in nature.

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 dialog and
process will be ongoing into early 1999. Non-compliant customers and suppliers
will be evaluated in terms of the degree of risk posed to the Company's
business, and, where necessary, appropriate responses such as selection of Year
2000 compliant additional or replacement suppliers will be taken. 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.

Most of the Company's businesses will remediate or replace portions of their
software and hardware within the Company's IT systems and non-IT systems that
are identified as requiring Year 2000 remediation. The Company intends to
address contingency planning with respect to its IT systems, its non-IT systems
and its third-party relationships with key customers and suppliers in early
1999.

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 $10
to $18 million, of which approximately $3 million has already been incurred.
These costs have been and will continue to be funded through operating cash
flows.
