Report of Independent Auditors
The BFGoodrich Company
Retirement Plus Savings Plan
Committee
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for benefits of
The BFGoodrich Company Retirement Plus Savings Plan for Wage Employees as of
December 30, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of changes in assets
available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements 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 assets available for benefits of the Plan at December
30, 2000 and 1999, and the changes in its assets available for benefits for the
years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States.

The BFGoodrich Company Retirement
Plus Savings Plan For Wage Employees
Notes to Financial Statements
December 30, 2000
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The BFGoodrich Company Retirement Plus Savings Plan for Wage Employees (the
"Plan") is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all regular
service wage employees of The BFGoodrich Company (the "Company") Akron,
Cleveland, Cincinnati and Troy, Ohio; Calvert City and Louisville, Kentucky;
Union and Spencer, West Virginia; Tullahoma, Tennessee ("Tullahoma"); Phoenix,
Arizona; Charlotte, North Carolina; and Everett and Kalama, Washington plants.
The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974 ("ERISA").
During 1999, the fiscal year end of the Plan was changed from December 31 to
December 30. The period from January 1, 1999 to December 30, 1999 is referred to
as "the year ended December 30, 1999" in these financial statements.
Effective February 1, 1994, The BFGoodrich Company Retirement Plus Savings Plan
Master Trust (the "Master Trust") was established to hold the assets of the Plan
and the assets of The BFGoodrich Company Retirement Plus Savings Plan. All
investment information disclosed in the financial statements, including
investments held at December 30, 2000 and 1999, and net appreciation
(depreciation) in fair value of investments, and interest and dividend income
for the years ended December 30, 2000 and 1999, was obtained or derived from
information supplied and certified as complete and accurate by Fidelity
Investments (the "Trustee").
The Plan offers participants the choice of two savings options: an after-tax
savings option and a pretax, 401(k) savings option. Under the after-tax savings
option, employee contributions are subject to federal income taxes, whereas
under the pre-tax savings option the participants postpone paying federal income
taxes on the amount of contributions deducted from their wages until the
contributions are withdrawn from the Plan. Participants can elect to participate
in either or both of the savings options, and can contribute to each of the
investment funds under both savings options.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)
Each employee who elects to become a participant in the Plan authorizes a
payroll deduction from 1% to 18% of their eligible earnings, subject to
limitation under the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code").
The Plan provides that for each plan year the employer will contribute, as
matching contributions, a percentage of the participants' contributions that are
6% or less of the participant's monthly eligible earnings, except for
contributions made for the participants employed at the Tullahoma and Cleveland
Landing Gear plants. Employer matching contributions made for the Tullahoma
participants and Cleveland Landing Gear participants are limited to 4% or less
of the participant's monthly eligible earnings.
The employer matching contribution rate varies from plant to plant, but
generally approximates 50% of participants' eligible contributions to the Plan.
In some cases, the matching contribution rate is higher if contributions are
directed to the BFGoodrich Stock Fund. Employer matching contributions are
invested initially in the BFGoodrich Stock Fund, except for participants of one
small business unit of the Company where the employer match is
participant-directed. Under certain conditions, participants can redirect the
employer matching contributions to the other investment funds.
The Plan also provides for the making of employer retirement contributions to
the accounts of eligible employees of the Akron and Kalama plants. These
contributions, which are not contingent on the making of employee contributions,
equal 4% of the monthly eligible earnings for the Akron and Kalama employees.
These contributions have been invested in the Managed Income Fund. Participants
can redirect the employer retirement contributions to the other investment
funds.
The Plan provides for the acceptance of rollover contributions from other plans
qualified under the Code. Rollover contributions can be made only in cash to the
Plan's pre-tax savings option.
Dividends, interest and proceeds from sale of investments in each Fund are
reinvested in the respective Fund.
Participant contributions are always fully vested. Company contributions vest
immediately upon completion of three years of service by the participant.
Effective April 9, 1999 a change in control as defined in the Plan occurred
resulting in all participants on that date becoming fully vested in Company
contributions. Company contributions may not be withdrawn until the participant
reaches age 55, or upon termination, disability or death. Forfeitures are
applied to reduce contributions required by the Company.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)
A participant who elects to withdraw from the Plan is paid the current value of
his vested account balance. Distributions from the BFGoodrich Stock Fund are
made in cash or stock of the Company, and distributions from the other funds are
made in cash.
Participants may borrow against their employee contributions and related
earnings as permitted under the Code not to exceed the lesser of $50,000 or 50%
of their vested account balance. Loan terms range from 1 to 5 years or up to 15
years for the purchase of a primary residence. The loans are secured by the
balance in the participant's account and bear interest at a rate commensurate
with prevailing market rates as determined monthly by the Trustee. Principal and
interest is paid ratably through monthly payroll deductions.
Administrative expenses related to record keeping are paid by the Plan and
charged to participants' accounts. Investment management fees are charged
against the earnings of the investment funds in which the participants' funds
are invested.
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
under the Plan to discontinue such contributions at any time and terminate the
Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of a termination of the
Plan, the net assets of the Plan will be distributed to the participants based
on the value of their accounts. Since this is an individual account plan, the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation does not guarantee any benefits.
The foregoing description of the Plan provides only general information.
Participants should refer to the plan document for a more complete description
of the Plan's provisions. Copies of the plan document are available from the
Human Resource Department of the Company.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The financial statements of the Plan are reported on the accrual basis of
accounting.
INVESTMENT VALUATION
The Plan's investments are held in the Master Trust, a master investment trust
administered by the Trustee. Participation units of the Master Trust are stated
at the underlying fair value of the trust investments. The asset value of the
BFGoodrich Stock Fund is derived from the value of the Plan Sponsor's common
stock. Investments in the individual Fidelity mutual

The BFGoodrich Company Retirement
Plus Savings Plan For Wage Employees
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
funds are valued at quoted market prices on the last business day of the Plan
year. Investments in the Managed Income Fund are primarily investment contracts,
offered by major insurance companies and other approved financial institutions
(with an average yield of 6.3% in 2000 and 6.1% in 1999), and are valued at
contract value (which approximates fair value). The loans to participants are
valued at their outstanding balance, which approximates fair value. Temporary
investments represent investments in short-term fixed income obligations, which
have a fair value approximately equal to cost.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest
income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. INCOME TAX STATUS
The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service
dated August 28, 1996, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a)
of the Code and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Once
qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to
maintain its qualification. The BFGoodrich Company Retirement Plus Savings Plan
Committee believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable
requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and
the related trust is tax exempt.
4. INVESTMENTS
The investment in the BFGoodrich Retirement Plus Savings Plan Master Trust
represents the Plan's proportionate interest in the assets of the Master Trust
at December 30, 2000 and 1999. The Plan's investment in the BFGoodrich
Retirement Plus Savings Plan Master Trust represented 16.5% and 16.4% of the
total assets of the Master Trust at December 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

4. INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)
The Plan has a divided interest in the Participant Loan Account, which reflects
the Plan's specific loan transactions. Participation by the Plan in the Master
Trust investment accounts is increased or decreased by the purchase or
redemption of units of participation at the unit value established at the end of
the day on which the purchase or redemption of units occurred. Summarized
financial information for the Master Trust is as follows:

5. NONPARTICIPANT-DIRECTED INVESTMENTS
The Plan's investment options are participant-directed with the exception of the
BFGoodrich Stock Fund and the Managed Income Fund. The employer match on
participant contributions is automatically invested in the BFGoodrich Stock
Fund, and may only be redirected under certain conditions. Retirement
contributions are automatically invested in the Managed Income Fund and may be
redirected by participants with no restrictions. As the participant-directed and
non-participant directed amounts cannot be separately determined, these
investment options are considered to be non-participant directed for financial
statement disclosure purposes under Statement of Position 99-3, "Accounting for
and Reporting of Certain Defined Contribution Benefit Plan Investments and Other
Disclosure Matters."

the assets relating to the non-participant directed investments is as follows:
