FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS



This section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" ("MD&A") is intended to provide a reader of
our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of management on
our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and certain other
factors that may affect our future results. The MD&A provides a narrative
analysis explaining the reasons for material changes in the Company's (i)
financial condition during the period from the most recent fiscal year-end,
March 31, 2022, to and including September 30, 2022 and (ii) results of
operations during the current fiscal period(s) as compared to the corresponding
period(s) of the preceding fiscal year.

Overview

Air T, Inc. (the "Company," "Air T," "we" or "us") is a holding company with a
portfolio of operating businesses and financial assets. Our goal is to prudently
and strategically diversify Air T's earnings power and compound the growth in
its free cash flow per share over time.

We currently operate in four industry segments:

•Overnight air cargo, which operates in the air express delivery services industry;



•Ground equipment sales, which manufactures and provides mobile deicers and
other specialized equipment products to passenger and cargo airlines, airports,
the military and industrial customers;

•Commercial aircraft, engines and parts, which manages and leases aviation
assets; supplies surplus and aftermarket commercial jet engine components;
provides commercial aircraft disassembly/part-out services; commercial aircraft
parts sales; procurement services and overhaul and repair services to airlines
and,

•Corporate and other, which acts as the capital allocator and resource for other
consolidated businesses. Further, Corporate and other also comprises
insignificant businesses and business interests that do not pertain to other
reportable segments.

Each business segment has separate management teams and infrastructures that offer different products and services. We evaluate the performance of our business segments based on operating income and Adjusted EBITDA.

Results of Operations

Impacts from Geopolitical, Macroeconomic, and COVID-19 Challenges

We continue to be exposed to macroeconomic pressures as a result of the lingering impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain challenges, foreign currency fluctuations, and spikes in commodity prices as a result of geopolitical challenges, including the war in


                                       26
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eastern Europe. We continue to navigate through these challenges with a sharp focus on and goal of safeguarding our employees, helping our customers and managing impacts on our supply chain.



COVID-19 and its impact on the current financial, economic and capital markets
environment, and future developments in these and other areas present
uncertainty and risk with respect to our financial condition and results of
operations. Each of our businesses implemented measures to attempt to limit the
impact of COVID-19 but we still experienced a number of disruptions, and we
experienced and continue to experience to a lesser degree a reduction in demand
for commercial aircraft, jet engines and parts compared to historical periods.
Many of our businesses may continue to generate reduced operating cash flow and
may continue to operate at a loss from time to time during fiscal 2023. We
expect that the impact of COVID-19 will continue to some extent. The fluidity of
this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact of
COVID-19 on economic and market conditions, and, as a result, present material
uncertainty and risk with respect to us and our results of operations. The
Company believes the estimates and assumptions underlying the Company's
condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and supportable based
on the information available as of September 30, 2022; however, uncertainty over
the ultimate direct and indirect impact COVID-19 will have on the global economy
generally, and the Company's businesses in particular, makes any estimates and
assumptions as of September 30, 2022 inherently less certain than they would be
absent the current and potential impacts of COVID-19.

The war in Eastern Europe and related sanctions imposed on Russia and related
actors have resulted in interest rate acceleration and inflation, including, but
not limited to, a significant increase in the price of commodities. We expect
that these factors will continue to negatively impact our businesses at least in
the short-term. The ultimate impact on our overall financial condition and
operating results will depend on the currently unknowable duration and severity
of these activities. We continue to evaluate the long-term impact that these may
have on our business model, however there can be no assurance that the measures
we have taken or will take will completely offset the negative impact.

Second Quarter Fiscal 2023 Compared to Second Quarter Fiscal 2022

Consolidated revenue for the three-month period ended September 30, 2022 increased by $17.5 million (40%) compared to the same quarter in the prior fiscal year.



Following is a table detailing revenue by segment, net of intercompany during
the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same quarter in the
prior fiscal year (in thousands):

                                                Three Months Ended

Revenues from the air cargo segment for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2022 increased by $3.2 million (17%) compared to the second
quarter of the prior fiscal year. The increase was principally attributable to
higher administrative fees, maintenance labor and pass-through revenues from
FedEx.

The ground equipment sales segment contributed approximately $18.0 million and
$9.2 million to the Company's revenues for the three-month periods ended
September 30, 2022 and 2021 respectively, representing a $8.8 million (96%)
increase in the current quarter. The increase was primarily driven by
significantly higher commercial ultimate deicers sales this quarter compared to
prior year comparable quarter. At September 30, 2022, the ground equipment sales
segment's order backlog was $21.1 million compared to $10.9 million at
September 30, 2021.

The commercial jet engines and parts segment contributed $19.0 million of
revenues in the quarter ended September 30, 2022 compared to $14.9 million in
the comparable prior year quarter, which is an increase of $4.1 million (27%).
The increase was primarily driven by higher component part sales across all
companies within the segment in the current quarter compared to prior year
comparable quarter.

Revenues from the corporate and other segment for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2022 increased by $1.3 million (464%) compared to the second
quarter of the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily attributable to the
acquisitions mentioned in   Note 2   of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements of this report.

Following is a table detailing operating income (loss) by segment during the
three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same quarter in the prior
fiscal year (in thousands):

Consolidated operating income for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 was $0.2 million, compared to an operating income of $0.7 million in the comparable quarter of the prior year.



The air cargo segment's operating income for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2022 was relatively flat compared to the same quarter in the prior
fiscal year. The increase in revenue discussed above was offset by the
impairment of previously capitalized costs on a software project that was deemed
no longer probable to be completed and placed in service.

The ground equipment sales segment's operating income for the quarter ended September 30, 2022 increased by $1.8 million from the prior year comparable quarter to $1.9 million. This increase was primarily attributable to the increased sales noted in the segment revenue discussion above.



The commercial jet engines and parts segment generated an operating loss of $0.2
million in the current-year quarter compared to an operating income of $1.9
million in the prior-year quarter. The change was primarily attributable to the
sale of an airframe with higher profit margin in the prior-year quarter that did
not recur in the current-year quarter. In addition, this segment incurred an
inventory write-down of $1.0 million in the current quarter compared to none in
the prior-year comparable quarter.

The corporate and other segment's operating loss for the three-month period ended September 30, 2022 was relatively flat compared to the same quarter in the prior fiscal year.



Following is a table detailing non-operating income (expense) during the three
months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same quarter in the prior fiscal
year (in thousands):

The Company had a net non-operating loss of $2.1 million during the quarter
ended September 30, 2022, compared to net non-operating income of $7.3 million
in the prior-year quarter. In the second quarter 2021, the Company recorded a
$8.3 million gain recognized on the SBA's forgiveness of the Company's PPP loan.
In the current-year quarter, the Company had higher interest expense due to
having more outstanding TruPs shares and more indebtedness at Contrail compared
to the prior-year quarter. In addition, the Company recorded a $0.2 million
unrealized loss due to fair value adjustments on our marketable investments in
the current year compared to the prior year's $0.3 million unrealized gain.

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded
global income tax benefit of $0.6 million at an effective tax rate ("ETR") of
30.0%. The Company records income taxes using an estimated annual effective tax
rate for interim reporting. The primary factors contributing to the difference
between the federal statutory rate of 21.0% and the Company's effective tax rate
for the three-month period ended September 30, 2022 were the change in valuation
allowance related to Delphax, other capital losses, the estimated benefit for
the exclusion of income for SAIC under Section 831(b), and the exclusion from
the tax provision of the minority owned portion of the pretax income of
Contrail.

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded
$38.0 thousand in income tax expense at an ETR of 0.5%. The primary factors
contributing to the difference between the federal statutory rate of 21.0% and
the Company's effective tax

rate for the three-month period ended September 30, 2021 were the change in
valuation allowance related to Delphax and other capital losses, the estimated
benefit for the exclusion of income for SAIC under Section 831(b), the exclusion
from the tax provision of the minority owned portion of the pretax income of
Contrail, and the exclusion from taxable income of the PPP loan forgiveness

Revenues from the air cargo segment for the six months ended September 30, 2022
increased by $4.9 million (13%) compared to the six months ended September 30,
2021. The increase was principally attributable to increased administrative fees
as well as higher pass-through revenue from FedEx as a result of increased
business activity.

The ground equipment sales segment contributed approximately $23.8 million and
$17.4 million to the Company's revenues for the six-month periods ended
September 30, 2022 and 2021 respectively, representing a $6.5 million (37%)
increase in the current six-month period. The increase was primarily driven by
significantly higher commercial ultimate deicers sales in the current year.

The commercial jet engines and parts segment contributed $41.8 million of
revenues in the six months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $24.5 million in
the comparable prior year six months. The increase was primarily driven by
higher component part sales across all companies within the segment and engine
sales at AirCo 1 that did not occur in the prior fiscal year.

Revenues from the corporate and other segment in the six months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $2.6 million (416%) compared to the six months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisitions mentioned in Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this report.

Consolidated operating income for the six months ended September 30, 2022 was
$1.0 million compared to an operating income of $0.7 million for the comparable
six months of the prior year.

Operating income for the air cargo segment for the six months ended September 30, 2022 increased by $0.3 million versus the prior year comparable period primarily due to the revenue increase noted above.



The ground equipment sales segment operating income increased by $0.6 million to
$2.0 million in the six-month period ended September 30, 2022 versus the prior
year comparable period. This increase was primarily attributable to the revenue
increase noted above.

The commercial jet engines and parts segment generated an operating income of
$2.9 million in the current-year six month period compared to an operating
income of $1.7 million in the prior-year six-month period. The change was
primarily attributable to the increased component sales as well as engine sales
at AirCo 1 as explained in the segment revenue discussion above.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The corporate and other segment's operating loss increased by $1.8 million to
$5.8 million from the prior-year loss of $4.0 million primarily driven by higher
benefits cost for the six months ended September 30, 2022.

The Company had a net non-operating loss of $3.5 million for the six months
ended September 30, 2022 compared to a net non-operating income of $7.7 million
in the prior-year six-month period. The decrease was primarily attributable to
the $8.3 million gain recognized on the SBA's forgiveness of the Company's PPP
loan and a $0.5 million gain on the liquidation of Delphax France, a subsidiary
of Delphax Technologies, Inc. in the prior year. In the current year, the
Company incurred $1.7 million higher interest expense due to having more
outstanding TruPs shares and more indebtedness at Contrail. In addition, the
Company recorded a $0.2 million unrealized loss due to fair value adjustments on
our marketable investments in the current year compared to prior year's $0.6
million unrealized gain. The decrease was partially offset by $0.7 million
higher net income from equity method investments in the current year compared to
the prior year.

During the six-month period ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded
global income tax benefit of $0.4 million at an effective tax rate of 15.1%. The
Company records income taxes using an estimated annual effective tax rate for
interim reporting. The primary factors contributing to the difference between
the federal statutory rate of 21% and the Company's effective tax rate for the
six-month period ended September 30, 2022 were the change in valuation allowance
related to Delphax and other capital losses, the estimated benefit for the
exclusion of income for SAIC under Section 831(b), and the exclusion from the
tax provision of the minority owned portion of the pretax income of Contrail.

During the six-month period ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded
$33.0 thousand in income tax benefit which resulted in an effective tax rate of
0.4%. The primary factors contributing to the difference between the federal
statutory rate of 21.0% and the Company's effective tax rate for the six-month
period ended September 30, 2021 were the changes in valuation allowance related
to Delphax, the estimated benefit for the exclusion of income for SAIC under
Section 831(b), the exclusion from the tax provision of the minority owned
portion of the pretax income of Contrail, the exclusion from taxable income of
the PPP loan forgiveness income, as directed by the CARES Act enacted in 2020,
and any accrued interest forgiven as a part of that Act.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates



The Company's significant accounting policies are fully described in Note 1 to
the condensed consolidated financial statements and in the notes to the
consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2022. The preparation of the Company's
condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires the use of estimates
and assumptions to determine certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
Management bases these estimates and assumptions upon the best information
available at the time of the estimates or assumptions. The Company's estimates
and assumptions could change materially as conditions within and beyond our
control change. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from
estimates. There were no significant changes to the Company's critical
accounting policies and estimates during the three-months ended September 30,
2022.

Seasonality

The ground equipment sales segment business has historically been seasonal, with
the revenues and operating income typically being lower in the first and fourth
fiscal quarters as commercial deicers are typically delivered prior to the
winter season. Other segments have typically not experienced material seasonal
trends.

Supply Chain and Inflation

The Company continues to monitor a wide range of health, safety, and regulatory
matters related to the COVID-19 pandemic including its impact on our business
operations. In particular, supply chain disruptions have impacted product
availability and costs across all markets including the aviation industry in
which our company operates. Additionally, the United States is experiencing
workforce shortages and increasing inflation which has created a competitive
wage environment. Thus far, the direct impact of these
                                       30
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


items on our businesses has not been material. However, ongoing or future
disruptions to consumer demand, our supply chain, product pricing inflation, our
ability to attract and retain employees, or our ability to procure products and
fulfill orders, could negatively impact the Company's operations and financial
results in a material manner. We continue to look for proactive ways to mitigate
potential impacts of supply chain disruptions at our businesses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources



As of September 30, 2022, the Company held approximately $9.5 million in cash
and cash equivalents and restricted cash, $2.0 million of which related to
restricted cash collateralized held for three opportunity zone investments made
by the Company - Air T OZ 1, LLC, Air T OZ 2, LLC, and Air T OZ 3, LLC (the
"Opportunity Zone Funds"), each a Minnesota limited liability company and a
subsidiary of the Company. The Company also held $1.6 million in restricted
investments held as statutory reserve of SAIC. The Company has approximately
$0.8 million of marketable securities and an aggregate of approximately
$19.0 million in available funds under its lines of credit as of September 30,
2022.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company's working capital amounted to $73.4
million, a decrease of $24.0 million compared to March 31, 2022 primarily driven
by the increase in current portion of long-term debt as the revolving lines of
credit at Air T with MBT and Contrail with ONB become due within a year.

As mentioned in   Note 12   of Notes to condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this report, on June 9, 2022, the
Company, Jet Yard and MBT entered into Amendment No. 1 to Third Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement ("Amendment") and a related Overline Note ("Overline
Note") in the original principal amount of $5.0 million. The Amendment and Note
memorialize an increase to the amount that may be drawn by the Company on the
MBT revolving credit agreement from $17.0 million to $22.0 million. As of
September 30, 2022, the unused commitment of the Overline Note was $4.1 million
and no unused commitment on the MBT Revolver. The total amount of borrowings
under the facility as revised is now the Company's calculated borrowing base or
$22.0 million. The borrowing base calculation methodology remains unchanged.

As mentioned in   Note 9   and   Note 12   of Notes to Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements of this report, on September 30, 2022, the Company executed
a promissory note payable to CCI for $2.0 million that bears interest at 10% per
annum and matures on December 30, 2022. The note may be prepaid at any time
without penalty. The note is subordinate and junior to any and all indebtedness
of the Company to MBT.

As mentioned in   Note 15   of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this Report on Form 10-Q, in 2016,
Contrail entered into an Operating Agreement with the Seller providing for the
put and call options with regard to the 21% non-controlling interest retained by
the Seller. The Seller is the founder of Contrail and its current Chief
Executive Officer. The Put/Call Option permits the Seller or the Company to
require Contrail Aviation to purchase all of the Seller's equity membership
interests in Contrail Aviation commencing on July 18, 2021. As of the date of
this filing, neither the Seller nor the Company has indicated an intent to
exercise the put and call options. If either side were to exercise the option,
the Company anticipates that the price would approximate the fair value of the
Contrail RNCI, as determined on the transaction date. The Company currently
expects that it would fund any required payment from cash provided by
operations.

As mentioned in   Note 15   of Notes to condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this report, on May 5, 2021, the
Company formed an aircraft asset management business called CAM and an aircraft
capital joint venture called CJVII. The venture focuses on acquiring commercial
aircraft and jet engines for leasing, trading and disassembly. CJVII targets
investments in current generation narrow-body aircraft and engines, building on
Contrail Aviation's origination and asset management expertise. CAM serves two
separate and distinct functions: 1) to direct the sourcing, acquisition and
management of aircraft assets owned by CJVII, and 2) to directly invest into
CJVII alongside other institutional investment partners. CAM has an initial
commitment to CJVII of approximately $53.0 million, which is comprised of an
$8.0 million initial commitment from the Company and an approximately
$45.0 million initial commitment from MRC. As of September 30, 2022, CAM's
remaining capital commitments are approximately $0.8 million from the Company
and $17.3 million from MRC. CJVII was initially capitalized with up to $408.0
million of equity from the Company and three institutional investor partners,
consisting of $108.0 million in initial commitments and $300.0 million in upsize
capacity, contingent on underwriting and transaction appeal. As of the date of
this filing, $104.4 million of capital has been deployed to CJVII. The timing of
the remaining capital commitment is not yet known at this time.

The revolving lines of credit at Air T with MBT and Contrail with ONB have a due
date or expire within the next twelve months. We are currently seeking to
refinance these obligations prior to their respective maturity dates; however,
there is no assurance that we will be able to execute this refinancing or, if we
are able to refinance these obligations, that the terms of such refinancing
would be as favorable as the terms of our existing credit facility.

The Company believes it is probable that the cash on hand and current
financings, net cash provided by operations from its remaining operating
segments, together with amounts available under our current revolving lines of
credit, as amended, will be sufficient to meet its obligations as they become
due in the ordinary course of business for at least 12 months following the date
these financial statements are issued.

Cash Flows

Following is a table of changes in cash flow for the six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

Six Months Ended September 30,


                                                                         2022                                2021
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities                                    (13,946)                             (22,753)
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities                                     (1,776)                              (2,376)
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities                                 16,757                               15,425

Effect of foreign currency exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents

                                                                   62                                   51

Net Increase (Decrease) in Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

                                                            1,097                               (9,653)


Net cash used in operating activities was $13.9 million for the six-month period
ended September 30, 2022 compared to net cash used in operating activities of
$22.8 million in the prior year six-month period, resulting in an overall
decrease of $8.9 million period over period. The change in net cash used in
operating activities was primarily driven by a net increase in cash provided by
receivables of $7.7 million due to increased sales in the current period and
lower payables and accrued expenses of $5.0 million, mostly attributable to
timing of payroll, bonus, and health insurance payments. Those changes are
partially offset by a $4.0 million net increase in cash used to purchase
inventories at Contrail and AirCo.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six-month period ended
September 30, 2022 was $1.8 million compared to net cash used in investing
activities of $2.4 million in the prior-year period. The decrease in cash usage
in investing activities was primarily driven by higher distributions received
from equity method investments and less cash spent on purchases of intangible
assets in the current year compared to the prior year.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six-month period ended
September 30, 2022 was $16.8 million compared to net cash provided by financing
activities of $15.4 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily
driven by higher net cash proceeds from the Company's term loans and revolving
lines of credit, partially offset by issuance of TruPs in the prior quarter that
did not recur in the current quarter.


Non-GAAP Financial Measures



The Company uses adjusted earnings before taxes, interest, and depreciation and
amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"), a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the
SEC, to evaluate the Company's financial performance. This performance measure
is not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial
measures.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before taxes, interest, and depreciation
and amortization, adjusted for specified items. The Company calculates Adjusted
EBITDA by removing the impact of specific items and adding back the amounts of
interest expense and depreciation and amortization to earnings before income
taxes. When calculating Adjusted EBITDA, the Company does not add back
depreciation expense for aircraft engines that are on lease, as the Company
believes this expense matches with the corresponding revenue earned on engine
leases. Depreciation expense for leased engines totaled $0.4 million and $18.0
thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of the Company's
performance because it provides investors additional information about the
Company's operations allowing better evaluation of underlying business
performance and better period-to-period comparability. Adjusted EBITDA is not
intended to replace or be an alternative to operating income (loss), the most
directly comparable amounts reported under GAAP.

The tables below provide a reconciliation of operating income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

Included in the asset impairment, restructuring or impairment charges for the
three months ended September 30, 2022 was a write-down of $1.0 million on the
commercial jet engines and parts segment's inventory. Also included in that
number is an impairment charge of $0.3 million related to previously capitalized
costs on a software project that was deemed no longer probable to be completed
and placed in service.
