General Overview

We report our activities in four business segments: Aviation Supply Chain; Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul; Structures and Systems; and Aircraft Sales and Leasing.

Sales in the Aviation Supply Chain segment are derived from the sale and lease of a wide variety of new, overhauled and repaired engine and airframe parts and components to the commercial aviation and defense markets, as well as the repair and overhaul of a wide range of commercial and military aircraft airframe parts. We also provide customized inventory supply and management programs and performance-based logistics programs for engine and airframe parts and components. Sales also include the sale and lease of commercial jet engines. Cost of sales consists principally of the cost of product (primarily aircraft and engine parts), direct labor and overhead (primarily indirect labor, facility cost and insurance).

Sales in the Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul segment are principally derived from aircraft maintenance and storage and the repair and overhaul of most commercial landing gear types. Cost of sales consists principally of the cost of product (primarily replacement aircraft parts), direct labor and overhead.

Sales in the Structures and Systems segment are derived from the manufacture and sale of containers, pallets and shelters used to support the U.S. military’s tactical deployment requirements, in-plane cargo loading and handling systems for commercial and military applications and composite products for aviation and industrial use. Cost of sales consists principally of the cost of product, direct labor and overhead.

Sales in the Aircraft Sales and Leasing segment are derived from the sale and lease of commercial aircraft and technical and advisory services. Cost of sales consists principally of the cost of product (aircraft), labor and the cost of lease revenue (primarily depreciation, lease expense and insurance).

Our chief operating decision making officer (Chief Executive Officer) evaluates performance based on the reportable segments and utilizes gross profit as a primary profitability measure. The tables below set forth consolidated sales and gross profit for our four business segments for each of the last three fiscal years ended May 31.

Business Trends and Highlights

During calendar year 2006 and into the first quarter of 2007, many of the domestic commercial airlines reported improved financial results, reflecting their ability to implement fare increases to partially offset the continued high cost of fuel and intense competition. The improvement has also been driven by the airlines’ continued focus on controlling non-fuel related expenses, the implementation of operational efficiencies and relatively high load factors. We expect certain carriers will continue to aggressively seek ways to reduce their cost structure, including outsourcing more of their maintenance and support functions to third parties. Further, low-cost carriers continue to expand their presence around the world. Many of these low-cost carriers are flying newer aircraft which will result in increasing demand for maintenance and parts support in future years. We believe we remain well positioned to respond to the market with our broad range of products and services as these trends continue to develop.

We continue to experience strong demand for performance-based logistic services and mobility products supporting our defense customers’ deployment activities. We are monitoring the debate between the current Administration and the U.S. Congress regarding the troop withdrawal from Iraq and its impact on demand for our products and services. Although it remains difficult for us to predict long-term demand for these types of products and services, we believe we are well positioned with our current portfolio of products and services and growth plans to benefit from longer-term U.S. military deployment and program management strategies.

Results of Operations

Fiscal 2007 Compared with Fiscal 2006

(as compared with the same period of the prior year)

Consolidated sales for fiscal 2007 increased $175,651 or 19.8% over the prior year. Each reporting segment experienced sales growth with sales to commercial customers increasing 24.3% and sales to defense customers up 14.4% compared to the prior year. The sales increase to commercial customers

reflects the improved commercial airline environment, our expanded presence in global markets, growth in supply chain programs, and increased demand for airframe maintenance and landing gear overhaul services. Sales to defense customers increased as we continue to experience strong demand for performance-based logistics programs and specialized mobility products and the impact from acquisitions.

Sales in the Aviation Supply Chain segment increased $82,508 or 17.9% over the prior year. The sales increase reflects strong demand for engine and airframe parts from commercial customers due to improved sourcing and program execution as well as the implementation of new supply chain programs. The increase in sales to defense customers was driven by continued strong demand for parts support from performance-based logistics programs. Gross profit in the Aviation Supply Chain segment increased $15,128 or 15.2% over the prior year primarily due to increased sales volume, partially offset by an impairment charge of $4,750 recorded in this segment during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 (see Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). The gross profit margin percentage decreased slightly to 21.0% from 21.5% in the prior year due to the unfavorable mix of products sold and the impairment charge.

In the Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul segment, sales increased $29,258 or 16.1% over the prior year. The increase in sales is primarily attributable to increased demand for landing gear overhaul services as well as airframe maintenance at our Oklahoma and Indianapolis airframe maintenance facilities. Gross profit in the Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul segment increased $4,001 or 15.4% over the prior year due to the increase in sales and the gross profit margin percentage decreased slightly to 14.1% from 14.2%. The gross profit margin improved at our landing gear and Oklahoma airframe maintenance businesses due to increased sales and operational efficiencies. The gross profit margin declined at our Indianapolis airframe maintenance facility due to start-up inefficiencies associated with new customers.

In the Structures and Systems segment, sales increased $35,336 or 15.4% over the prior year. The increase in sales was primarily due to the development and delivery of increasingly complex and specialized shelter products and higher volume of pallets at our Mobility Systems business. Sales also increased due to the inclusion of $12,368 of revenue from Brown which was acquired during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 (see Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Sales of our cargo systems were lower as we relocated production to a new manufacturing facility in North Carolina. Gross profit in the Structures and Systems segment increased $2,310 or 6.9% compared to the prior year due to the increase in sales. The gross profit margin percentage decreased from 14.7% to 13.6% due to the unfavorable mix of products sold, primarily at our Mobility Systems business.

In the Aircraft Sales and Leasing segment, sales increased $28,549 due to more aircraft sales compared to the prior year. During fiscal 2007, our joint ventures purchased six aircraft and sold ten. The increase in earnings from aircraft joint ventures compared to the prior year is primarily due to the sale of the ten aircraft. At May 31, 2007, the total number of aircraft held in joint ventures was 12 (see Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). Our strategy in the Aircraft Sales and Leasing segment is to build an aircraft portfolio through participation in joint ventures and for our own account. We also own nine aircraft outside of the joint ventures. Of the nine aircraft owned by us outside the aircraft joint ventures, five were acquired prior to September 11, 2001. Gross profit in the Aircraft Sales and Leasing segment decreased $513 compared to the prior year principally due to the impairment charge of $2,902 recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2007 (see Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

In the first quarter of fiscal 2007, we recorded an impairment charge of $4,750 in the Aviation Supply Chain segment for engine parts that were acquired prior to September 11, 2001, and were subject to impairment charges recorded in prior years. This impairment charge was triggered by our decision to aggressively pursue the liquidation of this inventory. We made this decision to recognize the impairment due to the impact of persistently high fuel costs and fewer operators on demand for these parts, as well as

to better align human and physical resources with higher potential opportunities in the rapidly growing Aviation Supply Chain segment (see Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). In the Aircraft Sales and Leasing segment, we recorded an impairment charge of $2,902 during the first quarter of 2007 on a wide-body aircraft originally purchased prior to September 11, 2001. The lease and non-recourse debt on the aircraft were restructured during the quarter, and we made the decision to offer the aircraft for sale and recorded the impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of the aircraft to estimated net realizable value. As part of the restructuring, the lender of the non-recourse debt reduced the outstanding principal balance by $2,927 which resulted in a gain on extinguishment of the same amount.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, we sold substantially all assets, subject to certain liabilities, of a product line within our Structures and Systems segment. Proceeds from the sale of the product line were $6,567 and the net carrying value of the assets sold was $1,209, resulting in a gain on sale of product line of $5,358. The gain on this transaction has been classified as a component of operating income in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.

Operating income increased $30,194 or 46.3% compared with the prior year’s period due to increased sales, increased earnings from aircraft joint ventures and the gain on the sale of a product line, partially offset by impairment charges and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. In fiscal 2007, our selling, general and administrative expenses increased $5,540 or 5.6% over the prior year primarily due to increased resources to support our growth. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased to 9.9% compared to 11.2% in the prior year. Interest expense decreased $1,303 or 7.2% primarily due to a reduction in average outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit agreements during fiscal 2007, as well as capitalized interest of $977. Interest income and other increased $2,593 or 80.1% due to higher average invested cash during the current fiscal year, as well as a $915 gain on sale of an equity security. Our effective income tax rate for fiscal 2007 was 32.0% compared to 23.0% in the prior year due to lower tax benefits on export activities. We expect our effective income tax rate to be approximately 35% in fiscal 2008.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2007, we decided to exit our non-core industrial turbine business, which was part of the Structures and Systems segment, and classified the results as a discontinued operation. Sales for this business were $7,778 in fiscal 2007.

Net income increased to $58,660 for fiscal 2007 compared to $35,163 in the prior year due to the factors discussed above.

Fiscal 2006 Compared with Fiscal 2005

Consolidated sales for fiscal 2006 increased $145,091 or 19.6% over the prior year. The increase in sales over the prior year was attributable to sales increases in the Aviation Supply Chain; Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul and Structures and Systems segments due to an 18.8% increase in sales to commercial airline customers and a 21.7% increase in sales to defense customers. The increase in sales to commercial airline customers principally reflects improved demand for engine and airframe parts support due to increased passenger traffic, improved sourcing and program execution. Sales to commercial customers also increased as a result of a full year of revenue during fiscal 2006 at the Indianapolis airframe maintenance facility, compared to only four full months during fiscal 2005, as that facility commenced operations in January 2005. The increase in sales to defense customers was principally driven by continued strong demand for specialized mobility products and new performance-based logistics programs. Consolidated gross profit increased $42,646 or 35.4% over the prior year. The increase in gross profit was attributable to the consolidated sales increase, as well as an improvement in the consolidated gross margin percentage to 18.4% from 16.3% in the prior year.

Sales in the Aviation Supply Chain segment increased $71,106 or 18.2% compared to the prior year. The sales increase reflects increased demand for engine and airframe parts to commercial customers as well as an increase in sales to program customers using our supply chain management programs. The increase in sales to defense customers served by this segment was driven by continued strong demand for parts support from existing and new performance-based logistics programs. Gross profit in the Aviation Supply Chain segment increased $31,583 or 46.7% over the prior year primarily due to increased sales volume as well as an improvement in the gross profit margin percentage to 21.5% from 17.3% in the prior year. The improvement in the gross profit margin percentage was attributable to effective purchasing and favorable mix of products sold.

In the Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul segment, sales increased $70,326 or 62.8% over the prior year. The increase in sales was primarily attributable to a full year of revenue at our Indianapolis airframe maintenance facility during fiscal 2006, compared with only four full months of sales during fiscal 2005, as that facility commenced operations in January 2005. Sales also increased over the prior year at our Oklahoma City airframe maintenance facility and landing gear overhaul center reflecting stronger demand. Gross profit in the Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul segment increased $11,500 or 79.8% over the prior year and the gross profit margin percentage improved from 12.9% to 14.2%, primarily due to improvements at our Oklahoma City-based airframe maintenance facility and the favorable impact of a full year of operations at the Indianapolis airframe maintenance facility.

In the Structures and Systems segment, sales increased $35,451 or 18.3% over the prior year as we experienced increased sales at all of our business units within the segment. The increase was primarily attributable to increased sales of products supporting our defense customers’ deployment activities due to continued strong demand and new product development, and increased demand for cargo systems and composite structure products primarily due to successful sales and marketing efforts. Gross profit in the Structures and Systems segment declined $1,473 or 4.2% compared to the prior year as the gross profit margin percentage decreased from 18.2% to 14.7% primarily due to the unfavorable mix of products sold.

In the Aircraft Sales and Leasing segment, sales decreased $31,792 or 70.4% compared with the prior year. The decrease in sales is principally due to the fact that the majority of current year aircraft activity is conducted through unconsolidated joint ventures, which excludes revenues from consolidated net sales. Since September 11, 2001, most of the aircraft transactions we have entered into have been with joint venture partners who provide equity capital equal to our equity capital contribution. Debt is provided on a limited recourse basis by various financial institutions. Gross profit in the Aircraft Sales and Leasing segment increased $1,036 or 31.3% compared to the prior year.

Operating income increased $30,255 or 86.6% compared with the prior year due to increased gross profit, partially offset by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. During fiscal 2006, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $13,325 or 15.5% primarily due to increased resources to support our growth. Net interest expense declined $647 compared to the prior year primarily due to increased interest income as a result of higher average invested cash balances during fiscal 2006 compared with the prior year.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2006, we acquired $50,645 aggregate principal amount of our 2.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024, or approximately 76% of the previously outstanding principal amount, in exchange for an aggregate 2,724 newly issued shares of common stock plus $3,893 in cash, in privately negotiated transactions exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The number of shares issued was equivalent to the number into which the notes were convertible under the original terms of the notes. We recorded $3,893 of pre-tax expense on the exchange of the notes into stock in advance of the call date which was comprised of interest that the note holders would otherwise have been entitled to receive as well as an incentive payment made as part of the exchange.

Also during the third quarter of fiscal 2006, upon completion of our fiscal 2005 Federal income tax return, we determined that the Company qualified for additional tax benefits of $1,606 related to higher than estimated margin on fiscal 2005 export activities. We recorded a benefit of $496 related to fiscal 2004 export activity in the third quarter of 2005. Our effective income tax rate for fiscal 2006 was 23.0% compared to 15.5% in the prior year.

Income from continuing operations increased to $35,823 compared to $19,498 in the prior year due to the factors discussed above.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2005, we sold our engine component repair business located in Windsor, Connecticut, and during the third quarter of fiscal 2007, we decided to exit our non-core industrial turbine business. As a result, we have classified the results of these businesses as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Net income increased to $35,163 for fiscal 2006 compared to $15,453 in the prior year due to the factors discussed above.

Legal Matters

AAR Manufacturing, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company (“subsidiary”) received an Administrative Order for Response Activity (“Order”) dated August 7, 2003, from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (“MDEQ”) relating to environmental conditions at and in the vicinity of the subsidiary’s Cadillac, Michigan plant. The Order requires the subsidiary to perform environmental investigatory work, prepare a feasibility study and a remedial action plan, and perform interim response actions. The interim response actions include continuation of the response activities the subsidiary is performing under a 1985 Consent Decree, operation of a soil vapor extraction system the subsidiary had previously installed and operated, determination of the need to provide alternate water supplies to off-site properties (and if it is so determined then to actually provide them), removal of any free phase liquids encountered in the ground, providing notices of groundwater contamination migration to off-site property owners, and other actions determined by the MDEQ or the subsidiary to be appropriate. The MDEQ further demands payment of environmental response costs already incurred by the MDEQ in the approximate amount of $2,500 plus interest, and reimbursement of unspecified costs to be incurred in the future by the MDEQ. The Order and the letter accompanying it threaten the imposition of civil fines up to $25 for each day of violation of the Order, plus exemplary damages up to three times the costs incurred by the MDEQ if the subsidiary does not comply with the Order. The Order may require the implementation of the remedial action plan, although it is not clear on that point. The Order requires the implementation of emergency response action if a release of hazardous substances, threat of a release, or exacerbation of existing contamination occurs during the pendency of the Order.

The subsidiary advised the MDEQ that it would perform the requirements of the Order to the extent those requirements apply to the allegation by the MDEQ that a release of hazardous substances occurred after the execution of the 1985 Consent Decree. The subsidiary declined to perform certain work required by the Order that the subsidiary believes is based on claims resolved in the 1985 Consent Decree. The MDEQ responded to the subsidiary by saying that the MDEQ “will be taking appropriate action to protect public health, safety and welfare and the environment, and gain AAR’s compliance with Part 201” (the Michigan “cleanup law”).

The subsidiary has received funds from an insurance carrier to reimburse it for a portion of the subsidiary’s costs. The subsidiary sought coverage from another insurance company and that carrier is paying a portion of defense costs, but has reserved its rights on coverage for the litigation noted below. The subsidiary has filed suit against one of the insurance carriers for breach of contract and other relief and recently reached a settlement.

Prior to the issuance of the Order, the subsidiary sought a Court order to enforce the 1985 Consent Decree, but that relief was denied by the Court, primarily on the basis that the action was premature since the State was not pursuing an enforcement action at the time. The subsidiary sought leave to appeal that decision to the Michigan Court of Appeals, but leave was denied.

The work performed and data gathered by the subsidiary since the issuance of the Order appears to support the positions previously taken by the subsidiary regarding the movement of groundwater for treatment by the subsidiary. There is disagreement with the MDEQ regarding the conclusions to be drawn from the data developed from that work. The MDEQ has retained contractors to perform environmental investigations in the vicinity of the plant.

On March 31, 2005, a complaint was filed by the MDEQ in Cadillac, Michigan with the Wexford County Circuit Court. The case is Michigan Department of Environmental Quality v AAR Cadillac Manufacturing, a division of AAR Manufacturing Group, Inc., an Illinois corporation, and AAR Corp., a Delaware corporation, File No. 05-18853-CE. In its complaint, the MDEQ seeks to enforce the Order against the subsidiary and to have the Court impose civil fines and exemplary damages upon the subsidiary for the alleged failure to comply with the Order. The MDEQ seeks to recover its costs incurred in performing response activities from both the subsidiary and the Company and seeks a declaratory judgment that both are liable for all future costs incurred by the State at the facility. The MDEQ also seeks civil fines from the subsidiary for alleged violations of a particular section of a Michigan environmental law.

The Company and the subsidiary filed their Answer, including Affirmative Defenses, and intend on vigorously defending the complaint filed by the MDEQ. On June 17, 2005, the subsidiary also filed a Petition for Reimbursement of its costs in the amount of approximately $200 incurred in complying with the Order from the State of Michigan cleanup and redevelopment fund established under Michigan law, plus costs and attorney fees. As of May 31, 2007, the subsidiary has charged to operations $1,309 related to this matter. The MDEQ has filed a motion for summary disposition which is scheduled for an August 20, 2007 hearing.

In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, we have funded our operating activities and met our commitments through the generation of cash from operations, augmented by the periodic issuance of common stock and debt in the public and private markets. In addition to these cash sources, our capital resources include our unsecured credit facility. Our ability to borrow from our lenders and issue debt and equity securities to the public and private markets in the future may be negatively affected by a number of factors, including general economic conditions, airline and aviation industry conditions, geo-political events, including the war on terrorism, and our operating performance. Our ability to generate cash from operations is influenced primarily by our operating performance and changes in working capital. We have a universal shelf registration on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission under which, subject to market conditions, up to $163,675 of common stock, preferred stock or medium- or long-term debt securities may be issued or sold.

At May 31, 2007, our liquidity and capital resources included cash of $83,317 and working capital of $389,215. On August 31, 2006, we entered into a credit agreement with various financial institutions, as lenders, and LaSalle Bank National Association, as administrative agent for the lenders (the “LaSalle Credit Agreement”). The LaSalle Credit Agreement created a $140,000 unsecured revolving credit facility that we can draw upon for general corporate purposes. Under certain circumstances, we may request an increase to the revolving commitment by an aggregate amount of up to $35,000, not to exceed $175,000 in

total.  The LaSalle Credit Agreement expires on August 31, 2010. Borrowings under the LaSalle Credit Agreement bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 125 to 200 basis points based on certain financial measurements. There were no borrowings outstanding under this facility at May 31, 2007. On August 31, 2006, we terminated our secured revolving credit agreement with Merrill Lynch Capital and during the second quarter of fiscal 2007, we terminated our accounts receivable securitization program. No borrowings were outstanding and no accounts receivable were sold at the date of these terminations. No material penalties or fees resulted from the terminations. In addition to our domestic facility, we also have $3,041 available under a foreign line of credit.

We continually evaluate various financing arrangements, including the issuance of common stock or debt, that would allow us to improve our liquidity position and finance future growth on commercially reasonable terms. Our ability to obtain additional financing is dependent upon a number of factors, including the geo-political environment, general economic conditions, airline industry conditions, our operating performance and market conditions in the public and private debt and equity markets.

During the year ended May 31, 2007, we used $21,239 of cash from operations primarily due to investments of $67,750 made in aircraft and engines on both short- and long-term lease, a $25,160 increase in accounts receivable reflecting higher sales, payment of capitalized program development costs of $17,023 related to the A400M program which is reported in other on the consolidated statements of cash flows, and investment in inventories of $8,567. During fiscal 2007, cash flow from operations benefited from an increase in accounts payable of $6,473 as well as net income and depreciation and amortization of $90,859.

During the year ended May 31, 2007, our investing activities used $39,129 of cash, principally as a result of capital expenditures of $29,891, acquisitions of $38,478 (see Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) and investment in aircraft joint ventures of $9,556, partially offset by cash generated from the sales of our interests in aircraft joint ventures of $32,108 and proceeds from the sale of a product line of $6,567 (see Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

During the year ended May 31, 2007, cash generated from financing activities was $21,973, comprised principally of proceeds from borrowings related to aircraft financings of $30,355, cash proceeds from stock option exercises of $8,576 and excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options of $4,345, partially offset by a reduction in borrowings of $20,439, which includes $9,034 for the early retirement of 6.875% Notes due December 15, 2007.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

A summary of contractual obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements as of May 31, 2007 is as follows:

Purchase obligations arise in the ordinary course of business and represent a binding commitment to acquire inventory, including raw materials, parts and components, as well as equipment to support the operations of our business. We routinely issue letters of credit and performance bonds in the ordinary course of business. These instruments are typically issued in conjunction with insurance contracts or other business requirements. The total of these instruments outstanding at May 31, 2007 was approximately $11,891.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Management has made estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities to prepare the consolidated financial statements. The most significant estimates made by management include adjustments to reduce the value of inventories and equipment on or available for lease, allowance for doubtful accounts, revenue recognition, loss accruals for aviation equipment operating leases and assumptions used in determining pension plan obligations. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The following is a summary of the accounting policies considered critical by management.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Our allowance for doubtful accounts is intended to reduce the value of customer accounts receivable to amounts expected to be collected. In determining the required allowance, we consider factors such as general and industry-specific economic conditions, customer credit history, and the customer’s current and expected future financial performance.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the specific identification, average cost or first-in, first-out methods. Provisions are made for excess and obsolete inventories and inventories that have been impaired as a result of industry conditions. We have utilized certain

assumptions when determining the market value of inventories, such as historical sales of inventory, current and expected future aviation usage trends, replacement values and expected future demand. During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, we recorded an impairment charge related to certain engine parts in the amount of $4,750. These parts were acquired prior to September 11, 2001, and were subject to impairment charges recorded in fiscal 2002 and 2003. The fiscal 2007 impairment charge was triggered by the Company’s decision to aggressively pursue the liquidation of this inventory. The Company made this decision to recognize the impairment due to the impact of persistently high fuel costs and fewer operators on demand for these parts, as well as to better align human and physical resources with higher potential opportunities in the rapidly growing Aviation Supply Chain segment. Reductions in demand for certain of our inventories or declining market values, as well as differences between actual results and the assumptions utilized by us when determining the market value of our inventories, could result in additional impairment charges in future periods.

Revenue Recognition

Certain supply chain management programs that we provide to our customers contain multiple elements or deliverables, such as program and warehouse management, parts distribution and maintenance and repair services. We recognize revenue for each element or deliverable that can be identified as a separate unit of accounting at the time of delivery based upon the relative fair value of the products and services. In connection with these programs, we are required to make certain judgments and estimates concerning the overall profitability of the program and the relative fair value of each element of the arrangement. Differences may occur between the judgments and estimates made by management and actual program results.

Equipment on or Available for Lease

The cost of assets under lease is original purchase price plus overhaul costs. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated service life of the equipment, and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, we are required to test for impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows. When applying the provisions of SFAS No. 144 to equipment on or available for lease, we have utilized certain assumptions to estimate future undiscounted cash flows, including current and future lease rates, lease terms, residual values and market conditions and trends impacting future demand. Differences between actual results and the assumptions utilized by us when determining undiscounted cash flows could result in future impairments of aircraft and engines which are currently being leased or are available for lease.

Pension Plans

The liabilities and net periodic cost of our pension plans are determined utilizing several actuarial assumptions, the most significant of which are the discount rate and the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets.

Our discount rate is determined based on a review of long-term, high quality corporate bonds as of May 31, 2007 and models that match projected benefit payments to coupons and maturities from the high quality bonds. The assumption for the expected long-term return on plan assets is developed through analysis of historical asset returns by investment category, our fund’s actual return experience and current market conditions. Changes in the discount rate and differences between expected and actual return on

plan assets may impact the amount of net periodic pension expense recognized in our consolidated statement of operations.

New Accounting Standards

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108). SAB 108 provides guidance regarding the process by which misstatements in financial statements are evaluated for purposes of determining whether financial statement restatement is necessary. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006, and early application is encouraged. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial position.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN No. 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.”  FIN No. 48 clarifies the recognition threshold and measurement requirements for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns and provides guidance on the related classification and disclosure. The provisions of FIN No. 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Accordingly, we will adopt FIN No. 48 no later than the beginning of fiscal year 2008. FIN No. 48 will not have a material impact on our results from operations or financial position.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We have not yet determined the impact of the adoption of this new accounting standard.

ITEM 7A.        QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

(Dollars in thousands)

Our exposure to market risk includes fluctuating interest rates under our credit agreements, foreign exchange rates and accounts receivable. See Part II, Item 8 for a discussion on accounts receivable exposure. During fiscal 20052007, 2006 and 2004,2005, we did not utilize derivative financial instruments to offset these risks.
