              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                November 30, 1999
                                 (000s omitted)

NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of AAR CORP. (the Company) and its subsidiaries after elimination of
intercompany accounts and transactions.

The Company conducts portions of its business through joint venture
investments accounted for under the equity method. These equity affiliates
are primarily engaged in the distribution and leasing of certain engine parts
and aircraft rotable spares to worldwide aviation customers.

These statements have been prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 1999 has been derived
from audited financial statements. To prepare the financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management has made
a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain information and
footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed
or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations of the SEC. These condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
latest annual report on Form 10-K.

In the opinion of management of the Company, the condensed consolidated
financial statements reflect all adjustments (which consist only of normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated
financial position of AAR CORP. and its subsidiaries as of November 30, 1999
and the condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and
six-month periods ended November 30, 1999 and 1998, and condensed
consolidated statement of cash flows and comprehensive income for the
six-month periods ended November 30, 1999 and 1998. The results of operations
for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for
the full year.

NOTE B -- REVENUE RECOGNITION

Sales and related cost of sales are recognized primarily upon shipment of
products and performance of services. Lease revenue is recognized as earned.
Certain purchases of factory new products from original equipment
manufacturers made for customers under long-term inventory management
outsourcing arrangements are not included in revenues or cost of sales based
on the nature of services performed under the arrangements. The amounts
billed, which equal the related purchase cost under these arrangements were
$47,944 and $88,027 during the six month periods ended November 30, 1999 and
1998, respectively. The amounts billed, which equal the related purchase cost
under these arrangements were $132,572, $74,514 and $44,225 during fiscal
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

NOTE E -- COMMON STOCK AND EARNINGS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK

The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of
diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period plus, when their effect is dilutive,
incremental shares consisting of shares subject to stock options. The
following table provides a reconciliation of the computations of basic and
diluted earnings per share information for the three and six-month periods
ended November 30, 1999 and 1998.

THREE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1999
(as compared with the same period of the prior year)

Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of the Company's fiscal year
ending May 31, 2000 (fiscal 2000) increased $19.3 million or 8.4% over the
same period in the prior year. Net sales in Aircraft and Engines increased
$23.0 million or 23.4% reflecting higher aircraft sales and leasing, engine
sales and leasing and engine parts sales, notwithstanding lower engine inputs
and reduced demand at certain inventory management sites. Net sales in
Airframe and Accessories were essentially unchanged from the prior year as
increased revenues at the Company's aircraft maintenance and component repair
facilities were offset by lower airframe part sales. Net sales in
Manufacturing decreased $3.3 million or 9.8% due to the impact of the sale of
the Company's floor maintenance products manufacturing subsidiary in
November, 1998, partially offset by increased sales of products supporting
the U.S. Government's rapid deployment program. Adjusting for the sale of the
Company's floor maintenance products manufacturing subsidiary, net sales of
the Company's manufacturing products increased 3.1%.

Consolidated gross profit increased $3.0 million or 7.0% over the prior
period due to increased consolidated net sales partially offset by a decrease
in the consolidated gross profit margin to 18.4% from 18.7%. The reduction in
the consolidated gross profit margin was primarily attributable to the mix of
inventories sold. Consolidated operating income increased $2.4 million or
12.5% compared to the prior year period as a result of increased consolidated
net sales, partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were lower as a percentage of
consolidated net sales, however total expenses increased principally due to
increased information technology and personnel costs.

Consolidated net income increased $1.0 million or 8.7% over the prior year
period due primarily to the factors discussed above.

SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1999
(as compared with the same period of the prior year)

Consolidated net sales for the first half of fiscal 2000 increased $49.3
million or 11.1% over the prior year six month period reflecting increased
demand for the Company's products and services. Aircraft and Engines sales
increased $52.9 million or 28.1% principally due to higher sales of the
Company's aircraft and engine products, partially offset by lower sales of
engine parts in certain long-term inventory management programs. Net sales in
Airframe and Accessories increased $2.7 million or 1.4% over the prior period
reflecting higher demand for aircraft maintenance and component services,
partially offset by lower airframe parts sales. Manufacturing net sales
decreased $6.3 million or 9.5% due to the impact of the sale of the Company's
floor maintenance products manufacturing subsidiary in November 1998,
partially offset by higher demand of products supporting the U.S.
government's rapid deployment program.

Consolidated gross profit increased $6.1 million or 7.3% over the prior
period due to increased consolidated net sales partially offset by a decrease
in the consolidated gross profit margin to 18.2% from 18.8%. The reduction in
the consolidated gross profit margin was primarily attributable to the mix of
inventories sold reflecting lower sales of higher margin products in certain
long-term inventory management programs. Consolidated operating income
increased $4.8 million or 13.1% compared to the prior year period as a result
of increased consolidated net sales, partially offset by higher general and

                          (000s omitted except ratios)

AT NOVEMBER 30, 1999

At November 30, 1999, the Company's liquidity and capital resources included
cash of $2.8 million and working capital of $342.6 million. At November 30,
1999, the Company's ratio of long-term debt to capitalization was 34.8%, down
from 35.7% at May 31, 1999. The Company continues to maintain its available
external sources of financing including $155.1 million of unused bank lines,
a universal shelf registration on file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under which up to $200 million of common stock, preferred stock or
medium - or long-term debt securities may be issued or sold subject to market
conditions, and an accounts receivable securitization program where the
Company may sell an interest in a defined pool of accounts receivable up to
$35 million. As of November 30, 1999, accounts receivable sold under this
arrangement were $27.6 million, an increase of $2.3 million from May 31, 1999.

During the six month period ended November 30, 1999, the Company used $5.5
million of cash from operations compared to generating $5.6 million of cash
from operations during the six month period ended November 30, 1998. The
decrease in cash generated from operations was due principally to a reduction
in accounts and trade notes payable during the six month period ended
November 30, 1999.

During the six month period ended November 30, 1999, the Company's investing
activities used $14.2 million of cash, principally as a result of property,
plant and equipment expenditures. During the six month period ended November
30, 1998, the company generated $12.6 million of cash from investing
activities reflecting the proceeds received from the Company's divestiture of
its floor products manufacturing subsidiary and proceeds from the sale of
equipment on long-term lease and an equity interest in a leveraged lease,
partially offset by property, plant and equipment expenditures and an
acquisition.

During the six month period ended November 30, 1999, the Company's financing
activities generated $14.1 million of cash compared to using $8.3 million
during the six month period ended November 30, 1998. The increase in cash
generated from financing activities was due to proceeds from bank borrowings
in the first half of fiscal year 2000 of $23.6 million.

The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents and available sources
of financing will continue to provide the Company the ability to meet its
ongoing working capital requirements, make anticipated capital expenditures,
meet contractual commitments and pay dividends.*

                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                           AAR CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                         FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED)
                          (000s omitted except ratios)

AT NOVEMBER 30, 1999 (CONTINUED)

YEAR 2000

The Company experienced no incidents associated with the Year 2000 nor is the
Company aware of any incidents associated with the Year 2000 at its major
customers or third-party suppliers.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contains certain statements relating to future results, which are
forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are identified by an asterisk(*). These
forward-looking statements are based on beliefs of Company management, as well
as assumptions and estimates based on information currently available to the
Company, and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from historical results or those
anticipated, depending on a variety of factors, including: integration of
acquisitions; marketplace competition; economic and aviation/aerospace market
stability and Company profitability. Should one or more of these risks or
uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions or estimates prove
incorrect, actual results may vary materially from these described.

PART I, ITEM 3 -- QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT
                                   MARKET RISK

The Company's exposure to market risk is limited to fluctuating interest rates
under its unsecured bank credit agreements, and foreign exchange rates. During
the first half of fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively, the Company did not
utilize derivative financial instruments to offset these risks. A hypothetical
10 percent increase to the average interest rate under the Company's bank credit
agreements and a hypothetical 10 percent devaluation of foreign currencies
against the U.S. dollar would not have had a material impact on the results of
operations for the Company during the first half of fiscal 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

     Shares. The preceding formula for Awards to Non-Employee Directors shall
     not be changed more than once in any six-month period."
