Capital Expenditures
We continue to witness increasing acceptance of our technologically innovative, highly reliable product lines. Our strong manufacturing
and financial base enabled us to diversify both our product mix and customer base. These diversities give the Company significant
potential for growth over the intermediate and longer term. In order to meet these future demands, we significantly increased our
capital spending for both machinery and plant capacity. In 1998, we purchased a 40-acre tract of land including a 457,000 square
foot building. Over the next decade this property was expanded to 713,000 square feet and, by the end of 2008, AAON utilized
approximately 40% of the property with the remainder leased to a third party. The lease expired in May of last year and we began to
immediately renovate the remaining 330,000 square feet.

Past due accounts are generally written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts only after all collection attempts have been exhausted.
There are no concentrations of credit risk.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Because these estimates
and assumptions require significant judgment, future actual results could differ from those estimates and could have a significant impact
on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. We reevaluate our estimates and assumptions on a monthly basis. The most
significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, warranty accrual, medical insurance accrual, share-based
compensation and the fair value of the derivative. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
