Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note A - Consolidated Financial Statements
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. These condensed consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to
present fairly the results of operations for the interim periods presented. All
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and
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, although we believe that the following
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. We
suggest that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto
included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2000.
The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
March 31, 2001.
Note B - Available-for-Sale Securities
Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair market value. Our position in
available-for-sale securities consists primarily of investment grade bonds, bond
funds and commercial paper. Unrealized appreciation and depreciation has been
recorded as a separate component of stockholders' equity.
Note C - Income Taxes
For the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, we provided for income taxes
based upon the estimated annualized effective tax rate. At June 30, 2000, we
have recorded a net current deferred tax asset of $9.9 million and a net
noncurrent deferred tax liability of $34.2 million.
Note D - Net Income Per Common Share
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings
per Share", basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods.
Diluted net income per common share reflects the potential dilution that could
occur if outstanding stock options were exercised. The calculation of the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding is as follows:

</TABLE>
For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 and 1999
For the three months ended June 30, 2000, we continued to develop our
code-sharing services with our code-sharing partners and took delivery of the
first of 55 Canadair Regional Jets on order. Net income increased to $16.5
million, or $0.65 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2000,
compared to $13.6 million, or $0.55 per diluted share for the three months ended
June 30, 1999. Consolidated operating revenues increased 16.9% to $130.4 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from $111.6 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1999.
Passenger revenues, which represented 98.5% of consolidated operating revenues,
increased 17.0% to $128.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from
$109.7 million or 98.3% of consolidated operating revenues for the three months
ended June 30, 1999. The increase was due primarily to a 10.1% increase in
revenue passenger miles and a 6.1% increase in yield per revenue passenger mile.
The increase in yield per revenue passenger mile is the result of competitors
eliminating and reducing scheduled service in the San Francisco and Los Angeles
markets. Additionally, SkyWest implemented selected fare increases during the
2000 fiscal year which have remained intact. Fuel surcharges have also been
added to fares to mitigate the increase in fuel prices. On SkyWest-controlled
flights SkyWest also continues its efforts to maximize revenue by use of a
sophisticated revenue management and control system which utilizes historical
booking data and trends to optimize revenue. Together these factors increased
revenue per available seat mile 9.0% to 23.0 cents for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 from 21.1 cents for the three months ended June 30, 1999.
Passenger load factor increased to 56.6% for the three months ended June 30,
2000 from 55.3% for the three months ended June 30, 1999. The increase in load
factor was due primarily to the further development of code-sharing
relationships with United and Delta whereby SkyWest is experiencing high load
factors in many markets. The increase was also due, in part, to refinements in
SkyWest's flight schedules and continued operational improvements.
Total operating expenses and interest increased 15.4% to $105.8 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $91.6 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1999. As a percentage of consolidated operating revenues, total
operating expenses and interest decreased to 81.1% for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 from 82.2% for the comparable period of fiscal 2000. For the three
months ended June 30, 2000, total airline operating expenses and interest
(excluding nonairline expenses) were 81.1% of airline operating revenues
compared to 82.1% for the three months ended June 30, 1999. The improved margin
was largely the result of increased passenger enplanements, growth in yield per
revenue passenger mile and operating revenues which outpaced the increase in
operating expenses.
Airline operating costs per available seat mile (including interest expense)
increased 6.9% to 18.6 cents for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from
17.4 cents for the three months ended June 30, 1999. The increase was primarily
due to increased fuel costs and higher employee incentive payments based on
increased profitability. Factors relating to the change in operating expenses
are discussed below.

<PAGE> 9
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
(Continued)
Salaries, wages and employee benefits decreased as a percentage of airline
operating revenues to 25.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2000 from 25.9%
for the three months ended June 30, 1999. The decrease was principally the
result of airline operating revenues increasing 17.1% period over period and
salaries, wages and employee benefits increasing only 15.2 % period over period.
The average number of full-time equivalent employees for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 was 3,500 compared to 3,180 for the three months ended June 30,
1999, an increase of 10.1%. The increase in number of personnel was due in large
part, to the addition of personnel required for SkyWest's expansion. Salaries,
wages and employee benefits per available seat mile increased to 5.8cents for
the three months ended June 30, 2000, compared to 5.5cents for the three months
ended June 30, 1999, as a result of additional employees and higher employee
incentive payments based on increased profitability.
Aircraft costs, including aircraft rent and depreciation, decreased as a
percentage of airline operating revenues to 16.6% for the three months ended
June 30, 2000, from 17.6% for the three months ended June 30, 1999. The decrease
was due primarily to airline operating revenues increasing 17.1% period over
period and aircraft costs increasing only 10.5% period over period. Aircraft
costs per available seat mile increased slightly to 3.8cents for the three
months ended June 30, 2000, from 3.7cents for the three months ended June 30,
1999.
Maintenance expense decreased as a percentage of airline operating revenues to
7.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2000, compared to 9.2% for the three
months ended June 30, 1999. The decrease was due primarily to airline operating
revenues increasing 17.1% period over period and maintenance expense increasing
only 0.5% period over period. Maintenance expense per available seat mile
decreased to 1.8cents for the three months ended June 30, 2000, from 2.0cents
for the three months ended June 30, 1999.
Fuel costs increased as a percentage of airline operating revenues to 11.6% for
the three months ended June 30, 2000, from 8.2% for the three months ended June
30, 1999. The increase was due primarily to a 43.8% increase in the average fuel
price per gallon to $1.05 from $0.73. Fuel costs per available seat mile
increased to 2.7cents for the three months ended June 30, 2000, from 1.7cents
for the three months ended June 30, 1999.
Other expenses, primarily consisting of commissions, landing fees, station
rentals, computer reservation system fees and hull and liability insurance,
decreased as a percentage of airline operating revenues to 19.1% for the three
months ended June 30, 2000, from 20.7% for the three months ended June 30, 1999.
The decrease was primarily the result of SkyWest not incurring commissions on
United Express passenger related revenues. Other expenses per available seat
mile were 4.4cents for both quarters ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had working capital of $160.7 million and a current ratio of 2.8:1 at June
30, 2000 compared to working capital of $154.2 million and a current ratio of
2.9:1 at March 31, 2000. During the three months ended June 30, 2000 the
principal sources of funds were $40.5 million generated from operations,
$778,000 of proceeds from the sale of property and equipment and $433,000 from
the issuance of common stock upon exercise of stock options. During the three
months ended June 30, 2000 we invested $28.8 million in flight equipment, $8.1
million in available-for-sale securities, $3.8 million in aircraft deposits,
$2.4 million in buildings and ground equipment and other, $875,000 in rental
vehicles, reduced long-term debt by $2.5 million, and paid cash dividends of
$989,000. These factors resulted in an increase of $10.2 million in cash and
cash equivalents.
Our position in available-for-sale securities, consisting primarily of
investment grade bonds, bond funds and commercial paper, increased to $154.9
million at June 30, 2000, compared to $146.8 million at March 31, 2000. At June
30, 2000, our ratio of long-term debt to stockholders' equity was 16%, compared
to 13% at March 31, 2000.

<PAGE> 10
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
(Continued)
During the three months ended June 30, 2000, SkyWest took delivery of one new
Canadair Regional Jet aircraft in connection with SkyWest's planned expansion
and financed the aircraft with long-term debt. As of June 30, 2000, SkyWest had
agreed to acquire 54 new Canadair Regional Jet aircraft at an aggregate purchase
price of approximately $1.2 billion. SkyWest also has options to acquire an
additional 75 Canadair Regional Jets of which 55 are at fixed prices (subject to
cost escalations), have delivery schedules, and are exercisable in blocks of
five aircraft and expire at varying dates between January 2002 and February
2008. The 20 remaining options are at fixed prices (subject to cost
escalations), do not have delivery schedules and do not carry an expiration
date. SkyWest has also entered into a conditional agreement for 40 additional
Canadair Regional Jets at an aggregate cost of $880 million. The conditional
agreement is subject to the final resolution of the scope clause negotiations
between United and their pilot union and expires on January 15, 2001. We have
also secured options on an additional 80 Canadair Regional Jets, of which 40 are
at fixed prices (subject to cost escalations), have delivery schedules, are
exercisable in blocks of five aircraft and expire at varying dates between July
2003 and June 2006. The remaining 40 options are at fixed prices (subject to
cost escalations), do not have delivery schedules and do not carry an expiration
date. Depending on the state of the aircraft financing market at the time of
delivery, management will determine whether to acquire the remaining CRJ
aircraft through third-party, long-term loans or through operating lease
arrangements.
We have significant long-term operating lease obligations primarily relating to
our aircraft fleet. These leases are classified as operating leases and
therefore are not reflected as liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
At June 30, 2000, SkyWest leased 82 aircraft under leases with an average
remaining term of approximately 8.8 years. Future minimum lease payments due
under all long-term operating leases were approximately $554.2 million at June
30, 2000. At an 8% discount factor, the present value of these obligations would
be equal to approximately $365.5 million at June 30, 2000.
Our total long-term debt of $74.0 was incurred in connection with the
acquisition of Brasilia Turboprops and Canadair Regional Jets. Certain amounts
related to Brasilia Turboprops are supported by continuing subsidy payments
through the export support program of the Federative Republic of Brazil. The
subsidy payments reduce the stated interest rates to an average effective rate
of approximately 4.07% on $32.8 million of the long-term debt at June 30, 2000.
The continuing subsidy payments are at risk if the Federative Republic of Brazil
does not meet its obligations under the export support program. While we have no
reason to believe, based on information currently available, that we will not
continue to receive these subsidy payments from the Federative Republic of
Brazil in the future, there can be no assurance that such a default will not
occur. On the remaining Brasilia Turboprop long-term debt of $25.4 million, the
average effective rate is 3.82% at June 30, 2000 and the lender has assumed the
risk of the subsidy payments. The average effective rate on the debt related to
the Canadair Regional Jet aircraft of $15.8 million was 7.66% at June 30, 2000
and is not subject to subsidy payments.
We spent approximately $13.5 million for nonaircraft capital expenditures during
the three months ended June 30, 2000, consisting primarily of aircraft engine
overhauls, rotable spare parts, buildings and ground equipment and rental
vehicles.
We have available $10.0 million in an unsecured bank line of credit with
interest payable at the bank's base rate less one-quarter percent, which was a
net rate of 9.25% at June 30, 2000. We believe that, in the absence of unusual
circumstances, the working capital available to us will be sufficient to meet
our present requirements, including expansion, capital expenditures, lease
payments and debt service requirements for at least the next 12 months.
Seasonality
As is common in the airline industry, SkyWest's operations are favorably
affected by increased travel, historically occurring in the summer months, and
are unfavorably affected by decreased business travel during the months from
November through January and by inclement weather which occasionally results in
cancelled flights, principally during the winter months. However, SkyWest does
expect some mitigation of the historical seasonal trends due to an increase in
the portion of its operations in contract flying.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements and
information that are based on management's belief, as well as assumptions made
by and information currently available to management. When used in this
document, the words "anticipate", "estimate", "project", "expect", and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although we
believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are
reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have
been correct. Such statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and
assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or
should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary
materially from those anticipated, estimated, projected or expected. Among the
key factors that have a direct bearing on our operating results include, among
other things, changes in SkyWest's code-sharing relationships, fluctuations in
the economy and the demand for air travel, the degree and nature of competition
and SkyWest's ability to expand services in new and existing markets and to
maintain profit margins in the face of pricing pressures.
Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Aircraft Fuel
We are exposed to fluctuations in the price and availability of aircraft fuel
that affect our earnings. Our financial statements reflect both the cost of fuel
we purchase for SkyWest-controlled flights, as well as fuel we purchase for
contract flights, which is subject to reimbursement by our code-sharing
partners. Currently, we have limited exposure to fuel price increases with
respect to approximately 65% of available seat miles produced, due to
contractual arrangements with United and Delta. These major airlines reimburse
us for the actual cost of fuel on contracted flights. For illustrative purposes
only, we have estimated the impact of market risk using a hypothetical increase
in fuel price per gallon of 10% for the quarters ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.
Based on this hypothetical assumption and after considering the impact of the
contractual arrangements, we would have experienced an increase in fuel expense
of approximately $517,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and $323,000
for the three months ended June 30, 1999. We currently intend to use cash
generated by operating activities to fund any adverse change in the price of
fuel.
Interest Rates
Our earnings are affected by changes in interest rates due to the amounts of
variable rate long-term debt and the amount of cash and securities held. The
interest rates applicable to variable rate notes may rise and increase the
amount of interest expense. We would also receive higher amounts of interest
income on its cash and securities held at the time; however, the market value of
our available-for-sale securities would decline. At June 30, 2000, we had
variable rate notes representing 27% of our total long-term debt and 8% at June
30, 1999. For illustrative purposes only, we have estimated the impact of market
risk using a hypothetical increase in interest rates of one percentage point for
both our variable rate long-term debt and cash and securities. Based on this
hypothetical assumption, we would have incurred an additional $31,000 in
interest expense and received $451,000 in additional interest income for the
three months ended June 30, 2000 and an additional $14,000 in interest expense
and received $393,000 in additional interest income for the three months ended
June 30, 1999. As a result of this hypothetical assumption, we believe we could
fund interest rate increases on its variable rate long-term debt with the
increased amounts of interest income. We do not have significant exposure to the
changing interest rates on our fixed-rate long-term debt instruments, which
represented 73% of the total long-term debt at June 30, 2000 and 92% of our
total long-term debt at June 30, 1999.
