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 2, 2013. The results of operations for the nine-month period ended November 30, 2013 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 November 30, 2013 and March 2, 2013, and the results of operations and comprehensive earnings for the three and nine-month periods ended November 30, 2013 and December 1, 2012, and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended November 30, 2013 and December 1, 2012.

The results of Alumicor Limited (Alumicor), which the Company acquired on November 5, 2013, have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisiton. Refer to Note 8 for further information regarding the acquisition of Alumicor and its treatment in the consolidated financial statements.

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 the Company's Brazilian subsidiary within the Architectural Glass segment 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 November 30, 2013.

In connection with preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended November 30, 2013, 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 that required recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.
