REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Westinghouse Air Brake Company
Employee Stock Ownership Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Westinghouse Air Brake Company Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the Plan)
as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial
statements and the schedules referred to below are the responsibility of the
Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules, as listed in
the accompanying table of contents, are presented for purposes of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and,
in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

WESTINGHOUSE AIR BRAKE COMPANY
EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN:
The following description of the Westinghouse Air Brake Company Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (the Plan) is provided for general information purposes only.
Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete information.
The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
December 31, 1999 and 1998, Annual Report on Form 10-K for Westinghouse Air
Brake Company.
General
Westinghouse Airbrake Technologies Corporation, (formerly Westinghouse Air Brake
Company), (Wabtec or the "Company") established the Plan effective January 1,
1995, amended and restated effective January 1, 1997, as a leveraged employee
stock ownership plan (ESOP). The Plan is designed to comply with Section
4975(e)(7) and the regulations thereunder of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended (the Code), and is subject to the provisions of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA).
Overall responsibility for administering the Plan rests with the plan
administrative committee (the Committee) which is appointed by the Board of
Directors of the Company. The Plan's trustee, U.S. Trust Company of California,
N.A., is responsible for the management and control of the Plan's assets and has
discretionary responsibility for the investment and management of such assets.
The investment valuations are certified as complete and accurate by the trustee.
The Plan purchased shares of Company common stock using the proceeds of a loan
from Wabtec (see Note 4) and holds the stock in a trust established under the
Plan. The loan is to be repaid over a period of 50 years, and is required to be
funded by Company contributions to the trust fund. As the Plan makes each
payment of principal, an appropriate percentage of stock will be allocated to
eligible employees' accounts in accordance with applicable regulations under the
Code.
The unallocated shares of stock collateralize the borrowing. Shares no longer
serve as collateral once they are allocated under the ESOP. Accordingly, the
financial statements of the Plan present separately the assets and liabilities
and changes therein pertaining to the following:
o The accounts of employees with vested rights in allocated stock
(allocated).
o Stock not yet allocated to employees (unallocated).
6
<PAGE> 10
Vesting
Employees become fully vested upon completion of five years of continuous
service, attainment of normal retirement or termination of service by reason of
death. The unvested portion of a participant's account will be reallocated to
the accounts of the remaining participants.
Eligibility
Employees of Wabtec and its participating subsidiaries, who were eligible to
participate in the Westinghouse Air Brake Company Savings Plan as of December
31, 1994, were automatically participants in the Plan on January 1, 1995. All
other employees who may become eligible to participate in the Plan would do so
on the later of January 1, 1995, or after performing one hour of salaried
service.
Employer Contributions
Wabtec is obligated to make contributions to the Plan which, when aggregated
with the Plan's dividends and interest earnings, equal the amount necessary to
enable the Plan to make its regularly scheduled payments of principal and
interest due on its term loan.
Participant Accounts
The Plan is a defined contribution plan under which separate individual accounts
are established for each participant. Each participant's account is credited as
of the last day of each plan year with an allocation of shares of Wabtec common
stock released by the trustee from the suspense account and forfeitures of
terminated participants' nonvested accounts. Only those participants who are
eligible employees of the Company as of the last day of the plan year will
receive an allocation. Shares are allocated to participant accounts based on a
two-step process. First, the participant accounts are matched up to 3% of the
value of the participant's contributions to the Westinghouse Air Brake Company
Savings Plan. Second, the remaining shares released are allocated
proportionately to each participant's salary.
Benefits
Distributions must commence in accordance with the following rules:
Distributions Before January 1, 1999
Except as described below, for a participant who reaches age 70 1/2
during a plan year ending before January 1, 1999, or for a participant
who is a five percent owner of the Company, distributions of such
participant's benefits must commence no later than April 1 of the
calendar year next following the calendar year in which the participant
attains age 70 1/2.
7
<PAGE> 11
Distributions After January 1, 1999
For a participant (other than a five percent owner) who reaches age
70 1/2 during a plan year commencing on or after January 1, 1999,
distributions of such participant's benefits must commence no later than
April 1 of the calendar year next following the later of (i) the calendar
year in which the participant attains age 70 1/2 or (ii) the calendar
year in which the participant terminates employment for any reason.
Optional Distribution Elections
Effective as of January 1, 1998, any active participant who is not a five
percent owner and who would otherwise be required to commence
distributions (or has already commenced distributions) in accordance with
the first paragraph described above, may elect, in accordance with
procedures established by the Committee, to defer commencement of his
distributions (or, if applicable, suspend his ongoing distributions)
until his termination of employment in accordance with the paragraph
above.
If distribution has commenced and the participant dies before his entire account
has been distributed to him, the remaining portion of his account will be
distributed to his beneficiary under the method used prior to the participant's
death.
Participant benefits will generally be paid in cash. In connection with such
distribution, the participant's accounts are to be converted based upon the fair
market value of the WABTEC stock with the resulting cash balance paid to the
participant.
Plan Termination
Wabtec reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any time, subject to Plan
provisions and the applicable provisions of ERISA. If the Plan were to
terminate, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts. Each
participant's interest in the trust would be distributed to such participant or
his beneficiary at the time prescribed by the Plan and the Code. Upon
termination of the Plan, the Committee will direct the trustee to pay all
liabilities and expenses of the trust fund and to sell shares of encumbered
stock held in the loan suspense account, if any, to the extent such sale is
necessary in order to repay any outstanding loans. Due to the depreciation in
the stock price during the year, management is currently evaluating alternatives
to continuing the plan under the current structure. (See Note 3)
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported
8
<PAGE> 12
increases and decreases in net assets available for Plan benefits during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investments
As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, investments in Wabtec common stock are stated
at market value.
Operating Expenses
Wabtec pays all expenses of maintaining the Plan.
Net Appreciation (Depreciation) in Fair Value of Investments
Net realized and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is recorded in the
accompanying financial statements as net appreciation (depreciation) in fair
value of investments.
3. INVESTMENTS:
The Plan is invested in shares of Wabtec common stock. These shares are held in
a bank-administered trust fund.
Disclosure of 5% Investments
The fair market value of individual assets that represent 5% or more of the
Plan's net assets as of December 31, are as follows:

at 8.5%.
