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.

In connection with certain long-term inventory management programs, the Company
purchases factory new products on behalf of its customers from original
equipment manufacturers. These products are purchased from the manufacturer and
"passed through" to the Company's customer at the Company's cost. Previously,
the Company disclosed these "pass through" sales in the notes to the
consolidated financial statements and excluded these transactions from sales and
cost of sales.

In December 1999, during the Company's third quarter, the SEC issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101 summarizing the SEC's views in applying
generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition. As a result of
SAB No. 101, the Company now believes that pass through sales should be included
in sales. Prior to issuance of SAB No. 101, the Company believed that excluding
pass through sales from sales was appropriate given the limited nature of the
services provided for these transactions. The Company has revised the quarterly
Income Statement in this Form 10-Q/A to reflect the inclusion of pass through
sales in sales and cost of sales. This change has no impact on the current
period or historical net income, earnings per share, the condensed consolidated
balance sheets, statements of cash flows or comprehensive income.

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 sales for the second quarter of the Company's fiscal year ending
May 31, 2000, excluding pass through sales, increased $19.3 million or 8.4% over
the same period in the prior year. 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. 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. 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%.
Pass through sales were $12.1 million, compared to $53.4 million in the prior
year. As inventory management programs mature, pass through sales typically
decline as the Company sources more of its customer's parts requirements with
used, serviceable parts, rather than with factory new parts. The reduction in
pass through sales during the period is attributable to the maturing of the
Company's existing long-term inventory programs, as well as lower engine inputs
at certain customer maintenance facilities.

Consolidated gross profit increased $3.0 million or 7.0% over the prior
period due to increased sales partially offset by a decrease in the
consolidated gross profit margin. Excluding the impact from pass through
sales, the gross profit margin was 18.4% in the current quarter, compared to
18.7% in the prior year. This reduction in the consolidated gross profit
margin was primarily attributable to the mix of inventories sold. Operating
income increased $2.4 million or 12.5% compared to the prior year period as a
result of increased gross profit, 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, excluding pass
through sales, 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. 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 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. Pass through sales
were $32.9 million, compared to $88.0 million in the prior year six month
period. As inventory management programs mature, pass through sales typically
decline as the Company sources more of its customer's parts requirements with
used, serviceable parts, rather than with factory new parts. The reduction in
pass through sales during the current fiscal year is attributable to the
maturing of the Company's existing long-term inventory management programs,
as well as lower engine inputs at certain customer maintenance facilities.

Consolidated gross profit increased $6.1 million or 7.3% over the prior
period due to increased sales partially offset by a decrease in the
consolidated gross profit margin. Excluding the impact from pass through
sales, the gross profit margin was 18.2% in the current six month period,
compared to 18.8% in the prior six month period. This 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. Operating income increased $4.8
million or 13.1% compared to the prior year period as a result of increased
gross profit, partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were lower as a percentage of
consolidated sales, however total expenses increased principally due to
increased information technology and personnel costs.

Consolidated net income increased $2.1 million or 10.6% over the prior year
period due primarily to the factors discussed above.

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.*

       PART I, ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      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.
