NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

1. | Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (we, us, our or the Company) included herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (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 the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended March 3, 2012. The results of operations for the nine-month period ended December 1, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
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 December 1, 2012 and March 3, 2012, and the results of operations and comprehensive earnings for the three and nine-month periods ended December 1, 2012 and November 26, 2011 and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended December 1, 2012 and November 26, 2011.
The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to the last day of February. Each interim quarter ends on the Saturday closest to the end of the months of May, August and November.
The results of GlassecViracon are reported on a two-month lag. There were no significant intervening events which would have materially affected our consolidated financial statements had they been recorded during the nine months ended December 1, 2012.
In connection with preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended December 1, 2012, the Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and disclosure through the date of this filing and determined that there were no subsequent events which required recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

2. | New Accounting Standards

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended its guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income in financial statements to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items that are recorded in other comprehensive income. The new guidance allows an entity to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements. The new guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. While the new guidance changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income under current accounting guidance. This new guidance was effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011, Apogee’s fiscal year 2013. The Company has adopted this guidance as of March 4, 2012 and has presented total comprehensive income in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Earnings.
In September 2011, the FASB amended U.S. GAAP on testing goodwill for impairment. Under this new guidance, entities testing goodwill for impairment now have an option of performing a qualitative assessment before having to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. If an entity determines, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit is more-likely-than-not less than the carrying amount, the existing quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further impairment testing is required. The amendments were effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, Apogee’s fiscal year 2013. The adoption of this new standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 did not have an impact on Apogee’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the first nine months of fiscal 2013 have had or are expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

3. | Stock-Based Compensation

The 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, the 2009 Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive Plan, the 2002 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan and the 1997 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the Plans) provide for the issuance of 1,888,000; 250,000; 3,400,000; and 2,500,000 shares, respectively, for various forms of stock-based compensation to employees and non-employee directors. Awards under these Plans, either in the form of incentive stock options, nonstatutory options or stock-settled stock appreciation rights (SARs), are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of award. Nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards are also included in these Plans. Outstanding options issued to employees generally vest over a four-year period, outstanding SARs vested over a three-year period and outstanding options issued to non-employee directors vested at the end of six months. Outstanding options and SARs have a 10-year term. Nonvested share awards and nonvested share unit awards generally vest over a two, three or four-year period.
The 2002 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan was terminated in June 2009 and the 1997 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan was terminated in January 2006; no new grants may be made under either of these plans, although exercises of SARs and options, and vesting of nonvested share awards previously granted thereunder will still occur in accordance with the terms of the various grants.
Total stock-based compensation expense under all Plans included in the results of operations for the nine months ended December 1, 2012 and November 26, 2011, was $3.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively.
Stock Options and SARs
There were no options or SARs issued in the first nine months of fiscal 2013; in the first nine months of of fiscal 2012, 450,512 stock options were issued with a weighted average fair value per option at the date of grant of $2.89. The fair value of each award grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants through the first nine months of fiscal 2012.

| Nine Months Ended
| November 26, 2011
Dividend yield | 3.9%
Expected volatility | 56.1%
Risk-free interest rate | 0.8%
Expected lives | 4.6 Years

The expected stock price volatility is based on historical experience. The risk-free rate for periods that coincide with the expected life of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury Department yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected life, the average time an option grant is outstanding, and forfeiture rates are estimated based on historical experience.
The following table summarizes the award transactions for the nine months ended December 1, 2012:

| Options/SARs Outstanding
| Number of Shares |  | Weighted Average Exercise Price |  | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life |  | Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding at March 3, 2012 | 1,815,293 |  |  | $ | 15.71 |  |  |  |  |
Awards exercised | (293,284 | ) |  | 13.56 |  |  |  |  |
Awards canceled | (71,623 | ) |  | 21.41 |  |  |  |  |
Outstanding at December 1, 2012 | 1,450,386 |  |  | $ | 15.87 |  |  | 5.3 Years |  | $ | 10,757,229 |
Vested or Expected to Vest at December 1, 2012 | 1,450,386 |  |  | $ | 15.87 |  |  | 5.3 Years |  | $ | 10,757,229 |
Exercisable at December 1, 2012 | 1,150,045 |  |  | $ | 17.83 |  |  | 4.4 Years |  | $ | 6,378,258 |

At December 1, 2012, there was $0.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock option awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 21 months. Cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $1.2 million and $0.2 million for the nine months ended December 1, 2012 and November 26, 2011, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of securities (the amount by which the stock price on the date of exercise exceeded the stock price of the award on the date of grant) exercised was $1.8 million during the nine months ended December 1, 2012 and was minimal during the nine months ended November 26, 2011.

Table of Contents
Nonvested Shares and Share Units
The Company's executive compensation program provides key employees selected by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors with long-term incentives using nonvested shares and nonvested share units. During fiscal 2013, nonvested shares were issued based on performance against objectives and generally vest over three years. From fiscal 2010 through fiscal 2012, nonvested share units were issued at the beginning of each fiscal year, which give the recipient the right to receive shares earned at the vesting date. The number of nonvested share units issued at grant was equal to the target number of nonvested share units and allows for the right to receive an additional number of, or fewer, shares based on meeting pre-determined Company three-year performance goals.
The following table summarizes the nonvested share award transactions, including nonvested share units, for the nine months ended December 1, 2012:

| Nonvested Shares and Units
| Number of Shares and Units |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested at March 3, 2012 | 981,813 |  |  | $ | 12.64 |
Granted | 226,885 |  |  | 14.84 |
Vested | (298,479 | ) |  | 12.82 |
Canceled(1) | (64,203 | ) |  | 13.42 |
Nonvested at December 1, 2012(2) | 846,016 |  |  | $ | 13.11 |

(1) | Includes 61,403 nonvested share units canceled under the fiscal 2010-2012 performance period because Apogee performed below target level for that performance period. Nonvested share units of 160,196 (at target) were previously granted in fiscal 2010 for this performance period.

(2) | Includes a total of 292,118 nonvested share units granted and outstanding at target level for fiscal 2011-2013 and 2012-2014.

At December 1, 2012, there was $6.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share and nonvested share unit awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 22 months. The total fair value of shares vested during the nine months of fiscal 2013 was $4.3 million.
In fiscal 2013, the executive compensation program was changed to issue cash-based performance awards in lieu of nonvested share unit awards; the cash-based awards are based on a two-year performance period and will be paid in two annual installments after completion of the performance period. Vesting of outstanding nonvested share unit awards will continue through fiscal 2015. The liability for the cash-based performance awards is included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

At December 1, 2012, the Company has investments in municipal bonds of $35.5 million; $25.2 million is current and $10.4 million is non-current. The Company’s wholly owned insurance subsidiary, Prism Assurance, Ltd. (Prism), holds $10.6 million of the municipal bonds. Prism insures a portion of the Company’s workers’ compensation, general liability and automobile liability risks using reinsurance agreements to meet statutory requirements. The reinsurance carrier requires Prism to maintain fixed-maturity investments, which are generally high-quality municipal bonds, for the purpose of providing collateral for Prism’s obligations under the reinsurance agreement. All of the Company’s fixed maturity investments are classified as “available-for-sale,” are carried at fair value and are reported as short-term marketable securities available for sale or marketable securities available for sale in the consolidated balance sheet.

The Company tests for other than temporary losses on a quarterly basis and considers the unrealized losses indicated above to be temporary in nature. The Company intends to hold the investments until it can recover the full principal amount and has the ability to do so based on other sources of liquidity. The Company expects such recoveries to occur prior to the contractual maturities.
The following table presents the length of time that available-for-sale securities were in continuous unrealized loss positions, but were not deemed to be other than temporarily impaired, as of December 1, 2012:

Gross realized losses were not material during either of those periods.

7. | Fair Value Measurements

The Company accounts for financial assets and liabilities in accordance with accounting standards that define fair value and establish a framework for measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset’s or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

9. | Debt

During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company entered into an amendment to its existing credit agreement. The amount of the revolving credit facility was increased from $80.0 million to $100.0 million and the expiration date was extended to October 2017. The Company's minimum required adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio was raised from 2.75 to 3.00. The credit facility also includes a letter of credit facility in the amount of up to $60.0 million, the outstanding amounts of which decrease the available commitment. No other provisions of the original agreement were materially amended by the amended credit agreement. No borrowings were outstanding under the amended credit agreement as of December 1, 2012 or under the original agreement as of March 3, 2012.
The credit facility requires the Company to maintain a minimum level of net worth as defined in the credit facility based on certain quarterly financial calculations. The minimum required net worth computed in accordance with the credit agreement at December 1, 2012 was $260.1 million, whereas the Company’s net worth as defined in the credit facility was $330.1 million. The credit facility also requires that the Company maintain an adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio of not more than 3.00. This ratio is computed quarterly, with EBITDA computed on a rolling four-quarter basis. For purposes of calculating the adjusted debt in the adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio, the Company reduces non-credit facility debt for up to $25 million to the extent of unrestricted cash balances, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities available for sale in excess of $15 million. The Company’s ratio was 0.11 at December 1, 2012. If the Company is not in compliance with either of these covenants, the lenders may terminate the commitment and/or declare any loan then outstanding to be immediately due and payable. At December 1, 2012, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of the credit facility.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, $10.0 million of industrial development bonds were issued and made available for current and future investment in the Company’s storefront and entrance business in Michigan. The interest rate on the bonds resets weekly and is equal to the market rate of interest earned for similar revenue bonds or other tax-free securities. The bonds will mature in April 2042. The proceeds are reported as restricted investments in the consolidated balance sheet until disbursed. $5.1 million of proceeds were disbursed during the first nine months of fiscal 2013.
Debt at December 1, 2012 consists of $12.0 million of recovery zone facility bonds, $18.4 million of industrial development bonds, including the newly issued $10.0 million noted above, and other debt held by GlassecViracon. The industrial development and recovery zone facility bonds mature in fiscal years 2021 through 2043, and the other debt matures in fiscal years 2013 through 2021. The fair value of the industrial development and recovery zone facility bonds approximates carrying value at December 1, 2012 due to the variable interest rates on these instruments. The bonds are classified as level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Interest payments were $0.6 million and $0.8 million for the nine-months ended December 1, 2012 and November 26, 2011, respectively, and primarily relate to fees associated with our revolving credit facility.

10. | Employee Benefit Plans

Pension Plans
The Company sponsors an unfunded Officers’ Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for the benefit of certain executives and a defined-benefit pension plan, the Tubelite, Inc. Hourly Employees’ Pension Plan. Components of net periodic benefit cost for the plans for the three and nine-month periods ended December 1, 2012 and November 26, 2011, were as follows:

Deferred Compensation Plan
The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan that allows participants to defer compensation and save for retirement and other short-term needs. The deferred compensation liability was $2.8 million at December 1, 2012 and is included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company has investments in corporate-owned life insurance policies (COLI) of $3.0 million and mutual funds of $0.2 million with the intention of utilizing them as a long-term funding source for the deferred compensation plan. The COLI assets are recorded at their net cash surrender values and are included in other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The mutual fund investments are recorded at estimated fair value, based on quoted market prices, and are included in other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheet.

11. | Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state jurisdictions, Brazil and other international jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2009, or state and local income tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2005. The Company is not currently under U.S. federal examination for years subsequent to fiscal year 2008, and there is very limited audit activity of the Company’s income tax returns in U.S. state jurisdictions or international jurisdictions.
The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits at December 1, 2012 and March 3, 2012, was approximately $7.3 million and $8.9 million, respectively. The decrease in the unrecognized tax benefits was primarily due to releasing reserves upon entering into settlement agreements with the IRS and a state government with respect to certain issues for fiscal years 2005 through 2011. The Company records the impact of penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax ex pense, which is consistent with past practices. The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits is expected to decrease by approximately $1.1 million durin g the next 12 months due to lapsing of statutes.

12. | Discontinued Operations

In several transactions in fiscal years 1998 through 2000, the Company completed the sale of its large-scale domestic curtainwall business, the sale of the Company’s detention/security business and its exit from international curtainwall operations. The remaining estimated cash expenditures related to discontinued operations are recorded as liabilities of discontinued operations and cover warranty issues relating to domestic and international construction projects that the Company expects will be resolved over the next five years.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, a reduction in reserves related to the expiration of warranty periods resulted in non-cash, pre-tax income from discontinued operations of $0.4 million.

13. | Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Operating lease commitments. As of December 1, 2012, the Company was obligated under noncancelable operating leases for buildings and equipment. Certain leases provide for increased rentals based upon increases in real estate taxes or operating costs. Future minimum rental payments under noncancelable operating leases are:

Bond commitments. In the ordinary course of business, predominantly in the Company’s installation business, the Company is required to provide a surety or performance bond that commits payments to its customers for any non-performance by the Company. At December 1, 2012, $107.5 million of the Company’s backlog was bonded by performance bonds with a face value of $373.6 million. Performance bonds do not have stated expiration dates, as the Company is released from the bonds upon completion of the contract. The Company has never been required to pay on these performance-based bonds with respect to any of the current portfolio of businesses.
Guarantees and warranties. The Company accrues for warranty and claim costs as a percentage of sales based on historical trends and for specific sales credits as they become known and estimable. Actual warranty and claim costs are deducted from the accrual when incurred. The Company’s warranty and claim accruals are detailed below.

Letters of credit. At December 1, 2012, the Company had ongoing letters of credit related to its construction contracts and certain industrial development and recovery zone facility bonds. The total value of letters of credit under which the Company was obligated as of December 1, 2012, was approximately $35.8 million. The Company’s total availability under its $100.0 million credit facility is reduced by borrowings under the facility and also by letters of credit issued under the facility. As of December 1, 2012, letters of credit in the amount of $23.4 million had been issued under the facility.
Purchase obligations. The Company has purchase obligations for raw material commitments and capital expenditures. As of December 1, 2012, these obligations totaled $77.8 million.
Non-compete agreements. The Company has entered into non-compete and consulting agreements associated with current and former employees. As of December 1, 2012, future payments of $0.2 million were committed under such agreements.
Litigation. The Company is a party to various legal proceedings incidental to its normal operating activities. In particular, like others in the construction supply industry, the Company’s architectural segment businesses are routinely involved in various disputes and claims arising out of construction projects, sometimes involving significant monetary damages or product replacement. The Company is subject to litigation arising out of employment practices, workers compensation, general liability and automobile claims. Although it is very difficult to accurately predict the outcome of such proceedings, facts currently available indicate that no such claims will result in losses that would have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.

Due to the varying combinations of individual window systems and curtainwall, the Company has determined that it is impractical to report product and service revenues generated by the Architectural segment by class of product, beyond the segment revenues currently reported.

Highlights of Third Quarter and First Nine Months of Fiscal 2013 Compared to Third Quarter and First Nine Months of Fiscal 2012

• | Consolidated net sales increased 8.9 percent, or $15.6 million, for the third quarter ended December 1, 2012, compared to the prior-year period and increased $26.7 million, or 5.4 percent, for the nine-month period. The increase in the quarter was primarily from share gains and geographic expansion in the installation business, as well as better pricing in the architectural glass business. The year-to-date growth was due to the growth in the installation business along with expansion in the storefront business, and a higher mix of value-added glass and acrylic in the LSO segment, partially offset by volume declines in the architectural glass business.

• | Gross profit as a percent of sales for the quarter ended December 1, 2012 increased to 22.2 percent from 19.9 percent in the prior-year period, an increase of 2.3 percentage points. For the nine-month period, gross profit as a percent of sales was 21.0 percent, an improvement of 3.9 percentage points over the prior-year period. The increased gross margins were largely due to higher architectural glass pricing, the margin impact from volume growth in the storefront and installation businesses, a better mix of projects and good operational performance at all of our businesses. The year-to-date period was also positively impacted by an improved mix of higher value-added picture framing glass and acrylic in the LSO segment.

• | Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter were up $3.3 million over the prior year and increased as a percent of net sales to 16.2 percent from 15.8 percent in the prior-year period. For the nine-month period, selling, general and administrative expenses were up $4.9 million and were flat at 16.9 percent of net sales. The increase in spending for both the three and nine-month periods was primarily due to increased expense for incentive and long-term executive compensation programs, as Company operating performance has improved. In addition, we increased research and development and sales and marketing costs, as we continue to invest in new products, markets and geographies. For the nine-month period, these items were partially offset by a decrease in expenses related to CEO transition costs of $1.8 million that were incurred in the prior-year nine-month period.

• | Income tax expense in the current-year quarter included a benefit of approximately $0.6 million as a result of entering into a settlement agreement with a state government with respect to certain issues for fiscal years 2005 through 2009. Income tax expense for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 included a benefit of approximately $1.1 million from statute of limitation expirations for fiscal years 2005 through 2008.

Segment Analysis
The following table presents sales and operating income data for our two segments and on a consolidated basis for the three and nine-month periods ended December 1, 2012, when compared to the corresponding periods a year ago.

Due to the varying combinations of individual window systems and curtainwall, the Company has determined that it is impractical to report product and service revenues generated by the Architectural segment by class of product, beyond the segment revenues currently reported.
Architectural Products and Services (Architectural)

• | Third-quarter net sales of $168.8 million were up 11.0 percent over prior-year net sales of $152.1 million, and net sales of $460.0 million for the nine-month period increased 5.4 percent over the prior-year period. For the quarter, revenues for all segment businesses increased over the prior-year period, with the largest increase occurring in the installation business as it grew share through expansion into new domestic geographies; better pricing in the architectural glass business also contributed to revenue growth. For the nine-month period, revenue growth in the installation and storefront businesses from expanding our domestic geographic footprint and share gains were partially offset by lower volume in the architectural glass business.

• | The segment reported operating income of $5.8 million in the current quarter, compared to $0.6 million in the prior-year quarter, with operating margins of 3.5 percent compared to 0.4 percent in the prior-year quarter. For the nine-month period, the segment reported operating income of $7.0 million, compared to a loss of $11.6 million, while operating margins were 1.5 percent compared to a negative 2.7 percent in the prior-year period. The improved margins for both the quarter and nine-month periods were due primarily to improved architectural glass pricing, improved margins in the installation business, better mix and good operational performance throughout the segment.

• | Architectural backlog at December 1, 2012, increased to $300.4 million, up approximately 33 percent over the prior-year period, and 27 percent over the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. We expect approximately $111 million of the December 1, 2012 backlog to flow during the remainder of fiscal 2013, with the rest to flow in fiscal 2014.

Large-Scale Optical Technologies (LSO)

• | Third quarter net sales of $21.6 million decreased 4.9 percent from prior-year net sales of $22.8 million. The decrease in the quarter as compared to a strong prior-year quarter was due to the timing of customer promotions and the impact

of the East Coast hurricane. For the nine-month period, net sales were $60.5 million, an increase of 5.7 percent over the prior-year period of $57.2 million. The increase for the year-to-date period was due to a better mix of higher value-added picture framing products across all markets.

• | Operating income of $6.6 million in the quarter was down 11.5 percent from the prior-year period and operating margins were down 2.2 percentage points to 30.3 percent, compared to 32.5 percent in the prior-year period due to the decline in revenue for the quarter. Operating income improved 9.4 percent in the nine-month period to $17.0 million from $15.6 million in the prior-year period, and operating margins were 28.1 percent, up 0.9 percentage points over the prior-year period of 27.2 percent. The strong mix of value-added picture framing products and the impact from higher volume contributed to increased operating income and margins for the year-to-date period.

Consolidated Backlog

• | At December 1, 2012, our consolidated backlog was $302.9 million, up approximately 34 percent over the prior-year period and up 27 percent over the end of fiscal 2012.

• | The backlog of the Architectural segment represented more than 99 percent of consolidated backlog.

• | We view backlog as an important statistic in evaluating the level of sales activity and short-term sales trends in our business. However, as backlog is only one indicator, and is not an effective indicator of our ultimate profitability, we do not believe that backlog should be used as the sole indicator of future earnings of the Company.

Discontinued Operations
In several transactions in fiscal years 1998 through 2000, we completed the sale of our large-scale domestic curtainwall business, the sale of our detention/security business and the exit from international curtainwall operations. The remaining estimated cash expenditures related to discontinued operations are recorded as liabilities of discontinued operations and cover warranty issues relating to domestic and international construction projects that we expect to be resolved over the next five years. In the second quarter of fiscal 2013, we recorded non-cash, pre-tax earnings from discontinued operations of $0.4 million as the result of a reduction in reserves related to the expiration of warranty periods.

Operating activities. Cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations was $23.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2013, compared to cash used of $4.7 million in the prior-year period. Fiscal 2013 operating cash flows were positively impacted by the increased income reported for the year-to-date period as compared to the prior-year period, as well as an improvement in working capital as compared to the prior-year period.
Non-cash working capital (current assets, excluding cash and short-term marketable securities available for sale and short-term restricted investments, less current liabilities) was $59.9 million at December 1, 2012, or 8.7 percent of last 12-month sales, our key metric for measuring working capital efficiency. This compares to $44.4 million at March 3, 2012, or 6.7 percent of fiscal 2012 sales, and 11.0 percent at November 26, 2011. The dollar change from year end was due to added working capital for future growth. We continue to effectively manage working capital; our days sales outstanding have improved by seven days at December 1, 2012, as compared to the prior-year period.

Table of Contents
Investing Activities. Through the first nine months of fiscal 2013, investing activities used $41.4 million of cash, compared to cash provided of $21.1 million in the same period last year. The current year included new capital investments of $21.3 million for growth and productivity improvements, as well as new product introductions and maintenance capital. Net purchases of $4.8 million for restricted investments during the period were the result of $10.0 million of industrial development bonds (reflected in financing activities) that were made available for current and future investment in our storefront and entrance business in Michigan, the proceeds of which are reported as restricted investments until disbursed. We increased our investments in marketable securities by $13.9 million for the nine-month period as a result of generating excess cash through operating activities noted above.
Fiscal 2012 investing activities included $10.3 million in proceeds from the sale and leaseback of equipment. Net proceeds of $12.7 million from restricted investments during fiscal 2012 resulted from releasing money market funds that were required to cover exposures under letters of credit that were previously held outside of our credit facility. The net position of our investments for the nine-month period of fiscal 2012 resulted in $5.8 million in net sale proceeds, as we sold investments to fund operating activities. New capital investments through the first nine months of fiscal 2012 totaled $6.2 million, primarily for safety and maintenance projects.
We expect fiscal 2013 capital expenditures to be approximately $30 million for investments to improve productivity, increase capacity and introduce new products and capabilities, as well as for maintenance requirements.
We continue to review our portfolio of businesses and their assets in comparison to our internal strategic and performance objectives. As part of this review, we may acquire other businesses, further invest in, fully divest and/or sell parts of our current businesses.
Financing Activities. Total outstanding borrowings at December 1, 2012 were $30.9 million, compared to $21.0 million as of March 3, 2012 and $21.2 million at November 26, 2011. Long-term debt consists of $12.0 million of recovery zone facility bonds, $18.4 million of industrial development bonds and other debt held by GlassecViracon. The industrial development and recovery zone facility bonds mature in fiscal years 2021 through 2043 and the other debt matures in fiscal years 2013 through 2021. Our debt-to-total-capital ratio was 8.5 percent at December 1, 2012 and 6.1 percent at March 3, 2012.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, $10.0 million of low-interest industrial development bonds were issued and made available for current and future investment in the Company’s storefront and entrance business in Michigan. The interest rate on the bonds resets weekly and is equal to the market rate of interest earned for similar revenue bonds or other tax-free securities. The bonds will mature in April 2042.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, we entered into an amendment to our existing credit agreement. The amount of the revolving credit facility was increased from $80.0 million to $100.0 million and the expiration date was extended to October 2017. Our minimum required adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio was raised from 2.75 to 3.00. The credit facility also includes a letter of credit facility in the amount of up to $60 million, the outstanding amounts of which decrease the available commitment. No other provisions of the original agreement were materially amended by the amended credit agreement. No borrowings were outstanding under the amended credit agreement as of December 1, 2012 or under the original agreement as of March 3, 2012.
The credit facility requires that we maintain a minimum level of net worth as defined in the credit facility based on certain quarterly financial calculations. The minimum required net worth computed in accordance with the credit agreement at December 1, 2012 was $260.1 million, whereas our net worth as defined in the credit facility was $330.1 million. The credit facility also requires that we maintain an adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio of not more than 3.00. This ratio is computed quarterly, with EBITDA computed on a rolling four-quarter basis. For purposes of calculating the adjusted debt in the adjusted debt-to-EBITDA ratio, we reduce non-credit facility debt for up to $25 million to the extent of unrestricted cash balances, cash equivalents and short-term marketable securities available for sale in excess of $15 million. Our ratio was 0.11 at December 1, 2012. If we are not in compliance with either of these covenants, the lenders may terminate the commitment and/or declare any loan then outstanding to be immediately due and payable. At December 1, 2012, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of the credit facility.
During fiscal 2004, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of 1,500,000 shares of common stock. The Board of Directors increased this authorization by 750,000 shares in January 2008 and by 1,000,000 in October 2008. There were no share repurchases during the first nine months of fiscal 2013 and, during the same period of 2012, we repurchased 275,000 shares. We have purchased a total of 2,279,123 shares, at a total cost of $29.7 million, since the inception of this program. We have remaining authority to repurchase 970,877 shares under this program, which has no expiration date.

From time to time, we acquire the use of certain assets, such as warehouses, automobiles, forklifts, vehicles, office equipment, hardware, software and some manufacturing equipment through operating leases. Many of these operating leases have termination penalties. However, because the assets are used in the conduct of our business operations, it is unlikely that any significant portion of these operating leases would be terminated prior to the normal expiration of their lease terms. Therefore, we consider the risk related to termination penalties to be minimal.
We have purchase obligations for raw material commitments and capital expenditures. As of December 1, 2012, these obligations totaled $77.8 million.
The other obligations in the table above relate to non-compete and consulting agreements with former employees.
We expect to make contributions of $0.9 million to our defined-benefit pension plans in fiscal 2013, which will equal or exceed our minimum funding requirements.
As of December 1, 2012, we had $7.3 million and $2.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits and environmental liabilities, respectively. We expect approximately $1.1 million of the unrecognized tax benefits to lapse during the next 12 months. We are unable to reasonably estimate in which future periods the remaining unrecognized tax benefits and environmental liabilities will ultimately be settled.
At December 1, 2012, we had ongoing letters of credit related to construction contracts and certain industrial development and recovery zone facility bonds. The Company’s $18.4 million of industrial revenue bonds are supported by $18.9 million of letters of credit that reduce availability of funds under our $100.0 million credit facility. The $12.0 million of recovery zone facility bonds are supported by $12.3 million of letters of credit. The letters of credit by expiration period were as follows at December 1, 2012:

| Amount of Commitment Expiration Per Fiscal Period
(In thousands) | 2013 Remaining |  | 2014 |  | 2015 |  | 2016 |  | 2017 |  | Thereafter |  | Total
Standby letters of credit | $ | — |  |  | $ | 31,256 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 4,500 |  |  | $ | 35,756 |

In addition to the above standby letters of credit, which were predominantly issued for our industrial development and recovery zone facility bonds, we are required, in the ordinary course of business, to provide a surety or performance bond that commits payments to our customers for any non-performance by us. At December 1, 2012, $107.5 million of our backlog was bonded by performance bonds with a face value of $373.6 million. Performance bonds do not have stated expiration dates, as we are released from the bonds upon completion of the contract. We have never been required to pay on these performance-based bonds with respect to any of our current portfolio of businesses.
We self-insure our third-party product liability coverages. As a result, a material construction project rework event would have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

Table of Contents
For fiscal 2013, we believe that current cash on hand and available capacity under our committed revolving credit facility, as well as the expected cash to be generated from future operating activities, will be adequate to fund our working capital requirements, planned capital expenditures and dividend payments. We have total cash and short-term marketable securities available for sale of $62.6 million, and $76.6 million available under our credit facility at December 1, 2012. We believe that this will provide us with the financial strength to work through the ongoing weak market conditions and to continue our growth strategy through the recovery.
Outlook
The following statements are based on our current expectations for full-year fiscal 2013 results. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially.

• | Overall revenues for the year are expected to grow 5 to 6 percent over fiscal 2012.

• | We anticipate earnings per share of $0.62 to $0.67.

• | Capital expenditures are projected to be approximately $30 million.

a) | Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report (the Evaluation Date), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

b) | Changes in internal controls: There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 1, 2012, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. | Legal Proceedings

The Company has been a party to various legal proceedings incidental to its normal operating activities. In particular, like others in the construction supply industry, the Company’s architectural segment businesses are routinely involved in various disputes and claims arising out of construction projects, sometimes involving significant monetary damages or product replacement. The Company has also been subject to litigation arising out of employment practices, workers compensation, general liability and automobile claims. Although it is difficult to accurately predict the outcome of such proceedings, facts currently available indicate that no such claims will result in losses that would have a material adverse effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.

Item 1A. | Risk Factors
