pReSideNt’S LetteR

Dear ShareholDer,This past year was one filled with many challenges and obstacles. Despite these circumstances, we are pleased to report that our sales gained 8.9% to $266.2 million from $244.6 million in 2010. During a period of continuing softness in non-residential construction, our positive sales performance can be directly attributed to a number of factors. The  market  acceptance  of  our  technologically  innovative  products  released  in  years 

prior to 2011 continued to grow. In addition, the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance 

Reauthorization  and  Job  Creation  Act  of  2010  signed  into  law  in  December  2010, 

which allowed 100% depreciation for qualified capital expenditures put in service in 

calendar 2011, had a beneficial impact on our replacement business. We improved the 

quantity  and  quality  of  our  sales  force  as  existing  sales  offices  added  personnel  and 

underperforming offices were replaced. Lastly, we increased training for our employees 

and sales force regarding the features and benefits of our significantly advanced product 

lines to allow for better sales communications. 

A  number  of  adverse  factors,  some  non-recurring  in  nature,  substantially  impacted 

our gross margins which decreased 16.1% from $55.2 million (22.6% of sales) to $46.3 

million (17.4% of sales). Later in this report we will discuss the nature of these factors 

in detail.

SG&A expenses were flat at $22.3 million (8.4% of sales) as compared with $22.5 million 

(9.2% of sales) a year ago. Operating income declined sharply from $32.7 million (13.4% 

of sales) in 2010 to $22.2 million (8.3% of sales). Included in the 2011 operating income 

was a $1.8 million loss on the sale of equipment. Pre-tax income declined 34.2% from 

$32.7 million (13.4% of sales) in 2010 to $21.5 million (8.1% of sales), and includes the

million or $0.87 per diluted share a year ago. Our 2011 tax rate was 35% versus 33% 

in  2010.  Our  per  share  calculations  are  based  upon  24.9  million  fully  diluted  shares 

outstanding in 2011 and 25.3 million fully diluted shares in 2010, and reflect a 3-2 stock 

split on June 13, 2011.

Our  financial  condition  at  December  31,  2011  remained  strong.  Total  current  assets 

were  $84.4  million  with  a  current  ratio  of  2.2:1.  Capital  expenditures  climbed  to  a 

record $35.9 million as compared with $17.4 million in 2010. Furthermore, we paid 

dividends of $5.9 million. Despite all of these expenditures, we operated with no long-

term debt. Total shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2011 was $122.5 million or $4.92 

per share compared with $116.7 million or $4.61 per share at year-end 2010.

1.  In early February of last year the Tulsa area was hit by record 

snowstorms which caused four roof collapses of approximately 

24,100  square  feet  of  the  roof  on  our  major  manufacturing 

facilities.  Production  was  halted  for  eight  and  one-half  days 

and continuing production disruptions caused by holes in the 

roof, with low temperatures until April and high temperatures 

in the summer, severely impacted gross profit margins. While 

the  damage  to  the  roof  was  covered  by  insurance  subject  to 

a  $500,000  deductible,  operational  losses  and  equipment 

outages were not. Repairs of damaged machinery (not covered 

by  insurance)  were  undertaken  by  our  own  labor  force;  the 

lines,  particularly  in  the  2-6  ton,  16-30  ton  and  26-70  ton 

units. These three lines contribute approximately 65% of the 

Company’s total volume. In anticipation of further increased 

demand,  particularly  influenced  by  the  expectation  of 

improvement in non-residential construction, we undertook 

the relocation of three assembly lines and the rearrangement 

of  two  others,  plus  the  installation  of  new  metal  fabricating 

equipment. There were numerous expenses and inefficiencies 

which occurred as a result of these endeavors, but the enlarged 

assembly lines and the installation of new equipment should 

produce over $1 million of productivity improvement in 2012

Year – Silver in the HVACR category by the readers of Consulting-Specifying 

Engineer.  This  award  adds  to  the  Company’s  previous  Product  of  the  Year 

successes including the RN series rooftop unit – 2010 Silver award winner, 

the LC series chiller – 2010 Bronze winner and the 2008 announcement that 

its rooftop product with Digital Precise Air Control (D-PAC) had been voted 

Product  of  the  Year-Gold  in  the  HVAC  category  as  well  as  Most  Valuable 

Product for the overall competition.

SALeS RepReSeNtAtiVe peRFORMANCe

Our  sales  representative  network  with  93  representatives  operates  108 

offices  (some  representatives  have  multiple  offices)  in  all  50  states  and 

Canada. This  network  contributed  over  95%  of  our  total  sales  in  2011  and 

performed exceptionally well during a most difficult economic environment. 

End markets such as education, healthcare, government, municipal and the 

military  experienced  good  growth  while  there  was  continued  weakness  in 

the commercial, manufacturing and retail sectors. In the past year, softness 

in  the  economic  environment  impacted  new  construction  demand,  which 

accounted for 45% of our business, while our replacement business (55% of 

sales) encountered good growth, aided by the Tax Relief, Job Creation Act of 

2010. We took some important steps to improve our representative network 

in  the  past  year  by  replacing  some  underperforming  sales  representative 

offices  in  major  markets  while  encouraging  the  addition  of  personnel  to 

other offices. Furthermore, we implemented extensive training for our sales 

representatives  so  that  they  could  better  communicate  the  features  and 

benefits of AAON equipment. While this additional training was somewhat 

costly,  we  believe  the  benefits  of  this  endeavor  were  apparent  in  2011  and 

will continue to be realized this year and beyond. The success of our product 

line diversification, along with our growing share of market, can be directly 

attributed to the efforts of our sales representatives. We want to once again 

commend them for their exceptional efforts during a most trying economic 

and operating environment. We believe they will continue to significantly aid 

the Company’s future growth.

geNeRAL deVeLOpMeNt ANd deSCRiptiON OF BuSiNeSS

AAON, Inc., a Nevada corporation, was incorporated on August 18, 1987.  We have two operating subsidiaries, AAON, Inc., an Oklahoma 
corporation and AAON Coil Products, Inc., a Texas corporation.   Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Annual Report to 
“AAON,” the “Company”, “we”, “us”,  “our”,  or “ours” refer to AAON, Inc., and our subsidiaries.

We are engaged in the manufacture and sale of air-conditioning and heating equipment.  Our products consist of rooftop units, chillers, air-
handling units, make-up air units, heat recovery units, condensing units, commercial self contained units and coils.

pROduCtS ANd MARketS

Our products serve the commercial and industrial new construction and replacement markets.  To date, our sales have been primarily to the 
domestic market.  Foreign sales accounted for approximately 5% of our sales in 2011.

Our rooftop and condenser markets consist of units installed on commercial or industrial structures of generally less than 10 stories in height.  
Our air-handling units, commercial self-contained units, chillers, and coils are applicable to all sizes of commercial and industrial buildings.

The size of these markets is determined primarily by the number of commercial and industrial building completions.  The replacement market 
consists of products installed to replace existing units/components that are worn or damaged.  Historically, approximately half of the industry’s 
market has consisted of replacement units.

The commercial and industrial new construction market is subject to cyclical fluctuations in that it is generally tied to housing starts, but has a lag 
factor of 6-18 months.  Housing starts, in turn, are affected by such factors as interest rates, the state of the economy, population growth and the 
relative age of the population.  When new construction is down, we emphasize the replacement market.

Based on our 2011 level of sales of $266 million, we estimate that we have approximately a 14% plus share of the rooftop market and a 1% share 
of the coil market.  Approximately 55% of our sales were generated from the sale to the renovation and replacement markets and 45% from 
new construction.  The percentage of sales for new construction vs. replacement to particular customers is related to the customer’s stage of 
development.  

We purchase certain components, fabricate sheet metal and tubing and then assemble and test the finished products.  Our primary finished 
products consist of a single unit system containing heating, cooling and/or heat recovery components in a self-contained cabinet, referred to in 
the industry as “unitary” products.  Our other finished products are chillers, coils, air-handling units, condensing units, make-up air units, heat 
recovery units and commercial self-contained units.  

We offer four groups of rooftop units.  The RQ Series consisting of six cooling sizes ranging from one to six tons; the RN Series offered in 18

We manufacture a Model LC Chiller, air cooled, and a Model LL chiller, which is available in both air-cooled condensing and evaporative cooled 
configurations covering a range of 3 to 540 tons.

Our air-handling units consist of the F1 and H3/V3 Series and the modular (M2 and M3) Series as well as air handling unit versions of the RN, 
RL and SA units.   

Our heat recovery option applicable to our RQ, RN and RL units, as well as our M2 and M3 Series air handlers, respond to the U.S. Clean Air 
Act mandate to increase fresh air in commercial structures.  Our products are designed to compete on the higher quality end of standardized 
products.

Performance characteristics of our products range in cooling capacity from 1½ to 540 tons and in heating capacity from 69,000 - 9,000,000 BTU’s.  
All of our products meet the Department of Energy’s minimum efficiency standards, which define the maximum amount of energy to be used 
in producing a given amount of cooling.  Many of our units far exceed these minimum standards and are among the highest efficiency units 
currently available. 

A typical commercial building installation requires a ton of air-conditioning for every 300-400 square feet or, for a 100,000 square foot building, 
250 tons of air-conditioning, which can involve multiple units

The most important materials we purchase are steel, copper and aluminum, which are obtained from domestic suppliers.  We also purchase from 
other domestic manufacturers certain components, including compressors, electric motors and electrical controls used in our products.  We 
attempt to obtain the lowest possible cost in our purchases of raw materials and components, consistent with meeting specified quality standards.  
We are not dependent upon any one source for raw materials or the major components of our manufactured products.  By having multiple 
suppliers, we believe that we will have adequate sources of supplies to meet our manufacturing requirements for the foreseeable future.

We attempt to limit the impact of increases in raw materials and purchased component prices on our profit margins by negotiating with each of 
our major suppliers on a term basis from six months to one year.

diStRiButiON

We employ a sales staff of 20 individuals and utilize approximately 93 independent manufacturer representatives’ (“Representatives”) 
organizations having 108 offices to market our products in the United States and Canada.  We also have one international sales organization, 
which utilizes 12 distributors in other countries.  Sales are made directly to the contractor or end user, with shipments being made from our 
Tulsa, Oklahoma and Longview, Texas plants to the job site.

Our products and sales strategy focus on niche markets.  The targeted markets for our equipment are customers seeking products of better quality 
than offered, and/or options not offered, by standardized manufacturers.

To support and service our customers and the ultimate consumer, we provide parts availability through our sales offices and have factory service 
organizations at each of our plants.  Also, a number of the manufacturer representatives we utilize have their own service organizations, which, in 
connection with us, provide the necessary warranty work and/or normal service to customers.

Our product warranty policy is:  the earlier of one year from the date of first use or 18 months from date of shipment for parts only; an additional 
four years for compressors (if applicable); 15 years on aluminized steel gas-fired heat exchangers (if applicable); 25 years on stainless steel heat 
exchangers (if applicable); and 10 years on gas-fired heat exchangers in RL products (if applicable).   With the introduction of the RQ product line 
in 2010, our warranty policy for the RQ series was implemented to cover parts for two years from date of unit shipment and labor for one year 
from date of unit shipment.

The ability to successfully bring new products to market that meet new energy efficiency standards, environmental regulations, and are 
engineered for performance, flexibility, and serviceability in a timely manner has rapidly become a critical factor in competing in the heating, 
ventilation and air conditioning (“HVAC”) equipment industry.  We must continually develop new and improved products in order to compete 
effectively and to meet evolving regulatory standards in all of our major product lines.

All of our R&D activities are self-sponsored, rather than customer-sponsored.  R&D has involved the RQ, RN and RL (rooftop units), F1, H/V, 
M2 and M3 (air handlers), LC and LL (chillers), CB and CC (condensing units), SA (commercial self-contained units) and BL (boilers), as well as 
component evaluation and refinement, development of control systems and new product development.  We incurred research and development 
expenses of approximately $4.8 million, $3.6 million and $3.1 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

BACkLOg

Our current backlog as of March 1, 2012 was approximately $55.3 million compared to approximately $37.9 million as of March 1, 2011.  The 
current backlog consists of orders considered by management to be firm and generally are filled on average within approximately 60 days to 92 
days after an order is deemed to become firm; however, the orders are subject to cancellation by the customers.

Working capital practices in the industry center on inventories and accounts receivable.  Our management regularly reviews our working capital 
with a view of maintaining the lowest level consistent with requirements of anticipated levels of operation.  Our greatest needs arise during 
the months of July - November, the peak season for inventory (primarily purchased material) and accounts receivable.  Our working capital 
requirements are generally met by cash flow from operations and a bank revolving credit facility, which currently permits borrowings up to $30 
million.  We believe that we will have sufficient funds available to meet our working capital needs for the foreseeable future.  We expect to renew 
our revolving credit agreement in July 2012.

SeASONALity

Sales of our products are moderately seasonal with the peak period being July - November of each year.

COMpetitiON

In the standardized market, we compete primarily with Lennox International, Inc., Ingersoll Rand Limited, Johnson Controls Inc. and United 
Technologies Corporation.  All of these competitors are substantially larger and have greater resources than we do.  In the custom market, 
we compete with many larger and smaller manufacturers.  Our products compete on the basis of total value, quality, function, serviceability, 
efficiency, availability of product, product line recognition and acceptability of sales outlet.  However, in new construction where the contractor 
is the purchasing decision maker, we are often at a competitive disadvantage because of the emphasis placed on initial cost.  In the replacement 
market and other owner-controlled purchases, we have a better chance of getting the business since quality and long-term cost are generally taken 
into account.

eMpLOyeeS

As of March 1, 2012, we employed approximately 1,491 permanent employees and 15 temporary employees.  Our employees are not currently 
represented by unions.  Management considers relations with our employees to be good.

The following risks and uncertainties may affect our performance and results of operations.

OuR BuSiNeSS HAS BeeN HuRt By tHe CuRReNt eCONOMiC dOwNtuRN.

Our business is affected by a number of economic factors, including the level of economic activity in the markets in which we operate.  The state 
of the United States economy has negatively impacted the commercial and industrial new construction markets.  The current decline in economic 
activity in the United States could materially affect our financial condition and results of operations.  Sales in the commercial and industrial 
new construction markets correlate closely to the number of new homes and buildings that are built, which in turn is influenced by cyclical 
factors such as interest rates, inflation, consumer spending habits, employment rates and other macroeconomic factors over which we have no 
control.  In the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (“HVAC”) business, a decline in economic activity as a result of these cyclical or other 
factors typically results in a decline in new construction and replacement purchases, which has resulted in a decrease in our sales volume and 
profitability

Problems in the availability, or increases in the prices, of raw materials or components could depress our sales or increase the costs of our 
products.  We are dependent upon components purchased from third parties, as well as raw materials such as steel, copper and aluminum.  We 
enter into cancelable and noncancelable contracts on terms from six months to one year for raw materials and components at fixed prices.  
However, if a key supplier is unable or unwilling to meet our supply requirements, we could experience supply interruptions or cost increases, 
either of which could have an adverse effect on our gross profit.

Historically, we attempted to limit the impact of price fluctuations on commodities by entering into non-cancelable fixed price contracts with 
our major suppliers for periods of 6 - 18 months.  We expect to receive delivery of raw materials from our fixed price contracts for use in our 
manufacturing operations.  These fixed price contracts are not accounted for as derivative instruments since they meet the normal purchases and

Competition in our various markets could cause us to reduce our prices or lose market share, or could negatively affect our cash flow, which 
could have an adverse effect on our future financial results.  Substantially all of the markets in which we participate are highly competitive.  The 
most significant competitive factors we face are product reliability, product performance, service and price, with the relative importance of these 
factors varying among our product line.  Other factors that affect competition in the HVAC market include the development and application of 
new technologies and an increasing emphasis on the development of more efficient HVAC products.  Moreover, new product introductions are an 
important factor in the market categories in which our products compete.  Several of our competitors have greater financial and other resources 
than we have, allowing them to invest in more extensive research and development.  We may not be able to compete successfully against current 
and future competition and current and future competitive pressures faced by us may materially adversely affect our business and results of

As of December 31, 2011, we own approximately 1.5 million square feet of space for office, manufacturing, warehouse and assembly operations in 
Tulsa, Oklahoma and Longview, Texas.  We believe that our facilities are well maintained and are in good condition and suitable for the conduct 
of our business. 

Our plant and office facilities in Tulsa, Oklahoma, consist of a 342,000 sq. ft. building (327,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing/warehouse space 
and 15,000 sq. ft. of office space) located on a 12-acre tract of land at 2425 South Yukon Avenue (the “original facility”), and a 861,000 sq. ft. 
manufacturing/warehouse building and a 54,000 sq. ft. office building (the “expansion facility”) located on a 40-acre tract of land across the street 
from the original facility (2440 South Yukon Avenue).  We own the original facility and the expansion facility.  Both plants are of sheet metal 
construction.

Our manufacturing area is in heavy industrial type buildings, with total coverage by bridge cranes, containing manufacturing equipment 
designed for sheet metal fabrication and metal stamping.  The manufacturing equipment contained in the facilities consists primarily of 
automated sheet metal fabrication equipment, supplemented by presses.  Assembly lines consist of seven cart-type conveyor lines with variable 
line speed adjustment, which are motor driven.  Subassembly areas and production line manning are based upon line speed.  

Our operations in Longview, Texas, are conducted in a plant/office building at 203-207 Gum Springs Road, containing 258,000 sq. ft. on 14 
acres.  The manufacturing area (approximately 251,000 sq. ft.) is located in three 120-foot wide sheet metal buildings connected by an adjoining 
structure.  The remaining 7,000 square feet are utilized as office space.  The facility is built for light industrial manufacturing.  An additional,

activity could result in a decrease in our sales volume and profitability.  Sales in the commercial and industrial new construction markets correlate 
closely to the number of new homes and buildings that are built, which in turn is influenced by cyclical factors such as interest rates, inflation, 
consumer spending habits, employment rates and other macroeconomic factors over which we have no control.

2011 
We  sell  our  products  to  property  owners  and  contractors  through  a  network  of  manufacturers  representatives  and  our  internal  sales  force.  
The demand for our products is influenced by national and regional economic and demographic factors.  The commercial and industrial new 
construction market is subject to cyclical fluctuations in that it is generally tied to housing starts, but has a lag factor of 6-18 months.  Housing starts, 
in turn, are affected by such factors as interest rates, the state of the economy, population growth and the relative age of the population.  When new 
construction is down, we emphasize the replacement market. 

The principal components of cost of goods sold are labor, raw materials, component costs, factory overhead, freight and engineering expense.  
The principal high volume raw materials used in our manufacturing processes are steel, copper and aluminum and are obtained from domestic 
suppliers. We also purchase from domestic manufacturers certain components, including compressors, motors and electrical controls.  The raw 
materials market has been volatile during 2011 and 2010 due to the economic environment and uncertainty in the financial markets.   For the year 
ended December 31, 2011 prices for copper and steel increased approximately 3% and 10%, respectively from prior year, while the cost of aluminum 
decreased approximately 2%. For the year ended December 31, 2010 the cost of copper, steel, and aluminum increased approximately 88.7% and 
11.5%, and 66.7% from 2009.

We attempt to limit the impact of price fluctuations of the raw materials used in our manufacturing processes by entering into cancelable and 
non-cancelable fixed price contracts with our major suppliers for periods of approximately 6 - 18 months.  In addition, from time to time we use 
derivative contracts to partially mitigate the volatility in the prices for some of these commodities.

The following are key highlights and events that impacted our results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition in 2011:

•  Net sales for 2011 were $266 million, the second highest in the Company’s history in the last 10 years, compared to $245 million in 2010. The 
increase in net sales was a direct result of the increase in market acceptance of products released during the year and the signing into law of the 
Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act on December 31, 2010 which provided 100 percent tax depreciation 
bonus on qualified capital investments put in service through December 31, 2011 which prompted our customers to benefit and take advantage 
of this provision of the law.  

•  We estimate that we have captured approximately 14% plus share of the rooftop market and a 1% share of the coil market.  Approximately 55% of 

our sales were generated from the sale to the renovation and replacement markets and 45% from new construction markets.  

•  Income from operations was $22.2 million compared to $32.7 million in 2010. The decline in operational income was primarily due to lower 
gross margins caused by increases in raw materials and component costs and lost production for 8.5 days that resulted from the collapse of the 
roof for one of our manufacturing facilities. 

•  Net income for 2011 was $13.9 million down by $7.9 million compared to $21.9 million in 2010. The decrease was the result of higher commodity 
and purchase parts prices and our inability to fully pass on the additional costs to our customers as a result of tight market conditions and fierce 
competition.

•  We paid $35.9 million in capital expenditures. A loss of approximately $1.8 million was incurred from the trade-in of production equipment that 
was replaced with new state of the art equipment that combines the latest advancement in automation and laser technology as a result of our 
strategic vision to improve current manufacturing efficiencies. 

•  We paid cash dividends of $5.9 million, and announced a 3-for-2 stock split effective on June 13, 2011.

Net SALeS

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2011 increased by 9%, or $21.7 million to $266.2 million, compared with the same period in 2010. 
The increase in net sales was the result of the favorable reception to our new products, a significant increase in the replacement market of 
approximately 10% over prior year, and increased market share.

gROSS pROFit

Gross margin decreased by $8.9 million (16.1%) to $46.3 million in 2011 compared to 2010. As a percentage of sales, gross margins were 17.4% 
and 22.6% in 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in gross profit was caused by increases in raw material and component part costs of 
approximately 6% that we were unable to neutralize completely with price increases for some of our product lines, and increased labor costs and 
freight cost of 8% and 1%, respectively.

The principal components of cost of goods sold are labor, raw materials, component costs, factory overhead, freight out and engineering expense. 
The principal high volume raw materials used in our manufacturing processes are steel, copper and aluminum, which are obtained from domestic 
suppliers. For the year ended December 31, 2011 we experienced price increases in copper and steel of approximately 3% and 10%, and an overall 
price decrease in aluminum of approximately 2% as compared to 2010.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased by $0.236 million, or 1.1% to $22.3 million in 2011 compared to
2010, and as a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses declined to 8.4% in 2011 from 9.2% in 2010. The decrease was primarily due to lower 
profit sharing expense of approximately $1.4 million as a result of lower operating income before income tax offset by increases in salaries and 
employee benefits of $0.6 million, and advertising expense and professional fees of approximately $0.6 million.

Interest expense was approximately $0.277 million and $0.045 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in interest expense of $0.232 
million in 2011 from prior year was due to increased borrowings on the revolving credit facility. During 2011 we borrowed $82.1 million from 
the revolving credit facility as compared to $20.8 million in 2010. Interest on borrowings is payable monthly at LIBOR plus 2.5%. For the year 
ended December 31, 2011, we paid a weighted average interest rate of approximately 3.4%.

iNteReSt iNCOMe

Interest income decreased by approximately $0.160 million to $0.098 million in 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The decreased was 
due primarily to all of our investments maturing and no additional funds invested in 2011.

OtHeR iNCOMe (expeNSe)

Other expense, net increased by $0.242 million to $0.477 million in 2011 from $0.235 million in 2010. The increase in other expense is primarily 
due to repair expenses related to roof damage to one of our manufacturing facilities in Tulsa, Oklahoma caused by a severe snowstorm in 
February 2011.

Net SALeS

Net sales were $244.6 million and $245.3 in 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Sales in 2010 remained substantially level with 2009 despite poor 
economic conditions that caused the non-residential construction market spending to decline by approximately 14.1% from 2009 overall 
spending, as a result of our strategy of releasing new products in the markets in which we compete while maintaining prices constant which 
resulted in increased market share. 

gROSS pROFit

Gross margin declined by $12.4 million or 18.3% to $55.2 million in 2010 from $67.5 million in 2010.  As a percentage of sales, gross margins 
were 22.6% and 27.5% in 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease in gross margin was primarily a result of the absence of a derivative related to 
a copper hedge of $2.2 million that we benefited from in 2009, higher raw material and commodity costs, increased labor expenses to relocate a 
production line and set up new production lines for the Tulsa building addition and related supplies to stock the new lines, and our inability in 
the current economic environment to implement price increases to our minimum sales prices for HVAC units.  

The raw materials market was volatile during 2010 and 2009 due to the economic environment. We experienced price increases for copper, steel 
and aluminum of approximately 88.7%, 11.5%, and 66.7%, respectively in 2010 compared to 2009.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses decreased by $1.3 million, or 5.5% to $22.5 million in 2010 compared to 2009, and as 
a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses declined to 9.2% in 2010 from 9.7% in 2009. The decrease was primarily due to lower profit sharing 
expense of $1.0 million as a result of lower operating income before income tax.

iNteReSt expeNSe

Interest expense was approximately $0.045 million and $0.009 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in interest expense of 
approximately $0.036 million was due to increased borrowings on the revolving credit facility. We borrowed $20.8 million from the revolving 
credit facility during 2010 compared to $10.0 million during 2009. We paid interest on borrowings at the greater of 4.0% or LIBOR plus 2.5% or 
at an average of approximately 4.0% for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Interest income was approximately $0.258 million and $0.071 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase in interest income of 
$0.187 million in 2010 from 2009 was due primarily to interest income generated from investments in corporate notes and bonds that average 
approximately $10.9 million in invested funds through September 30, 2010 and ended with a balance of $9.5 million at December 31, 2010.

OtHeR iNCOMe (expeNSe)

Other expense, net decreased by $0.311 million to $0.235 million in 2010 from income of $0.076 million in 2009 due to the termination of a lease 
for one of our facilities during the second quarter of 2009.

LiQuidity ANd CApitAL ReSOuRCeS

Our working capital and capital expenditure requirements are generally met through net cash provided by operations and the occasional use of 
the revolving bank line of credit based on our current liquidity at the time.

geNeRAL

On July 30, 2011 we renewed and increased the line of credit with the Bank of Oklahoma, National Association from $15.2 million to $30 
million. The revolving line of credit matures on July 29, 2012. We expect to renew our line of credit in July 2012 with favorable terms as we do 
not anticipate a tightening of funds in the financial markets.  Under the line of credit, there is one standby letter of credit of $0.9 million.  At 
December 31, 2011 we have approximately $ 24.5 million of borrowings available under the revolving credit facility. No fees are associated with 
the unused portion of the committed amount.  

As of December 31, 2011 our outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility is $4.6 million and no borrowings were outstanding at 
December 31, 2010.   Interest on borrowings is payable monthly at LIBOR plus 2.5%.  The weighted average interest rate was 3.4% and 4.0% for 
the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

At December 31, 2011 we were in compliance with all of the covenants under the revolving credit facility. We are obligated to comply with certain 
financial covenants under the revolving credit facility.  These covenants require that we meet certain parameters related to our tangible net worth, 
total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio and working capital.  At December 31, 2011 our tangible net worth was $122.5 million which meets the 
requirement of being at or above $95.0 million.  Our total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio were 0.46 to 1.0 which meets the requirement of 
not being above 2 to 1.  Our working capital was $45.7 million which meets the requirement of being at or above $35.0 million.  Starting on June 
30, 2012 our working capital requirement will change from $35.0 million to $40.0 million. 

We repurchased shares of stock under our authorized stock buyback programs, employees’ 401(k) savings, investment plan, and from option 
exercises of our directors and officers in the open market in the amount of $3.7 million for 0.212 million shares, $19.5 million for 1.2 million 
shares and $3.1 million for approximately 0.246 million shares of stock in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 we paid cash dividends of $5.9 million, $9.2 million, and $5.9 million respectively.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized an income tax receivable of approximately $10.0 million. The tax 
receivable represents the anticipated Federal and State estimated tax over payments as of December 31, 2011 primarily as a result of new 
equipment purchases placed in service during the year which qualified for the 100% bonus tax depreciation expense allowed under the Tax Relief, 
Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010.

2011Based on historical performance and current expectations, we believe our cash and cash equivalents balance, the projected cash flows generated 
from our operations, our existing committed revolving credit facility (or comparable financing) and our expected ability to access capital markets 
will satisfy our working capital needs, capital expenditures and other liquidity requirements associated with our operations in 2012 and the 
foreseeable future.

cAsh Flows From operAting Activities 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $26.5 million in 2011 compared to $32.2 million in 2010. This decrease was due to lower net 
income, and an unfavorable change in working capital. For the year ended December 31, 2011, net income decreased by $7.9 million and includes 
a non-cash loss on the sale of assets of $1.8 million. For 2010, net income decreased by $5.8 million from 2009. 

Significant fluctuations in working capital were as follows:

•  Inventory - more cash was used in 2011 as improved demand resulted in increased volume and higher prices for raw materials, 
component, and parts in our inventory balance as compared to 2010 resulting in decreased cash flows of $1.3 million.  In 2010, 
inventory increased by $4.8 million primarily as a result of increased inventory levels associated with an increase in our backlog from 
2009 and valuation of inventories associated with higher raw material and component part prices.

•  Accounts receivable - impact of $6.1 million. We experienced improved collection rates as a result of targeted sales discounts for some 
of our selected customers. In 2010, accounts receivable negatively impacted cash flows by $6.4 million due primarily to slow customer 
payments and relatively flat sales from the previous year.

•  Accounts payable – accounts payable decreased cash flows by approximately $2.8 million to support the growth in the business. For 
the year ended December 31, 2010 accounts payable increased cash flows by approximately $6.5 million as a result of the increase in 
inventory levels and timing of payments to vendors.

•  Accrued liabilities – accrued liabilities decreased cash flows by approximately $3.0 million due to changes in certain reserves 

estimates as a result of better and improved experience and a decreased in amounts due to our representatives offset by a slight 
increase in accrued payroll and employee benefits.  For the year ended December 31, 2010 accrued liabilities increased cash flows by 
approximately $2.4 million due to an increase in amounts due to our representatives, payroll and workers compensation partially offset 
by a decrease in medical self-insurance reserves.

cAsh Flows From investing Activities  

Net cash used by investing activities was $24.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared with net cash used in investing activities 
of $28.3 million in 2010. The change in investing activities is primarily attributable to net proceeds from investments of $11.0 million, as well as 
proceeds from the sale of assets of approximately $0.5 million. These proceeds were offset by an increase in capital expenditures during 2011. 

Net cash used in investing activities was $28.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared with $9.6 million in 2009. The change 
in investing activities is primarily attributable to an increase in investments in corporate bonds and notes and certificates of deposits of 
approximately $14.8 million and capital expenditures during 2010.

Capital expenditures were $35.9 million, $17.5 million and $9.8 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Capital expenditures in 2011 were 
primarily investments in our manufacturing and production equipment to support our growth and improve efficiencies with equipment which 
combines the latest advancement in automation and laser technology.

The capital expenditure program for 2012 is estimated to be approximately in the range of $10 million to $12 million, including amounts 
approved in prior periods. Many of these projects are subject to review and cancellation at the discretion of our CEO and Board of Directors 
without incurring substantial charges.

cAsh Flows From FinAncing Activities  

Net cash used in financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2011 was $4.3 million, compared with $27.2 million during 2010. The 
change in financing activities is primarily related to approximately $3.7 million of share repurchases as well as dividend payments of $5.9 million, 
partially offset by an increase in borrowing of approximately $4.6 million and stock options and restricted stock awards exercised.

Net cash used in financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $27.2 million, compared with $10.1 million during 2009. The 
change in financing activities is primarily related to increase share repurchases of approximately $19.5 million and cash dividend payments of 
$9.2 million in 2010, partially offset by stock options exercised.

CONtiNgeNCieS

We are subject to various claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. We closely monitor these claims and legal actions 
and frequently consult with our legal counsel to determine whether they may, when resolved, have a material adverse effect on our financial 
position or results of operations. While we are unable to estimate the ultimate dollar amount of exposure or loss in connection with these matters, 
we make accruals as warranted. We believe that we have adequately provided in our consolidated financial statements for the potential impact of 
these contingencies. We also believe that the outcomes will not significantly affect the long-term results of operations, our financial position or 
our cash flows.

CRitiCAL ACCOuNtiNg pOLiCieS

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US 
GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts 
of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses in our consolidated financial statements and related notes. We base our estimates, assumptions and 
judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors believed to be relevant at the time our consolidated financial statements are 
prepared. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our estimates and 
assumptions, and such differences could be material. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant estimates, 
assumptions and judgments used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

revenue recognition – We recognize revenues from sales of products when the products are shipped and the title and risk of 
ownership pass to the customer.  Final sales prices are fixed based on purchase orders.  Sales allowances and customer incentives are treated as 
reductions to sales and are provided for based on historical experiences and current estimates.  Our policy is to record the collection and payment 
of sales taxes through a liability account.

We present revenues net of certain payments to our independent manufacturer representatives (“Representatives”).  Representatives are national 
companies that are in the business of providing HVAC units and other related products and services to customers.  The end user customer orders 
a bundled group of products and services from the Representative and expects the Representative to fulfill the order.  Only after the specifications 
are agreed to by the Representative and the customer, and the decision is made to use an AAON HVAC unit, will we receive notice of the order.  
We establish the amount we must receive for our HVAC unit (“minimum sales price”), but do not control the total order price which is negotiated 
by the Representative with the end user customer.  

We are responsible for billings and collections resulting from all sales transactions, including those initiated by our Representatives.  The 
Representatives submit the total order price to us for invoicing and collection.  The total order price includes our minimum sales price and 
an additional amount which may include both the Representatives’ fee and amounts due for additional products and services required by the 
customer.  These additional products and services may include controls purchased from another manufacturer to operate the unit, start-up 
services, and curbs for supporting the unit (“Third Party Products”).  All are associated with the purchase of a HVAC unit but may be provided by 
the Representative or another third party.  The Company is under no obligation related to Third Party Products. 

The Representatives do not provide us with a break-out of the amount of the total order price over the minimum sales price which includes 
the Representatives’ fee and Third Party Product amounts (“Due to Representatives”).  The Due to Representatives amount is paid only after all 
amounts associated with the order are collected from the customer.  The amount of payments to our Representatives was $51.6 million, $51.4 
million and $58.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.  

AllowAnce For douBtFul Accounts – Our allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated to cover the risk of loss related 
to accounts receivable.   We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, 
historical trends in collections and write-offs, current customer status, the age of the receivable, economic conditions and other information.  
Aged receivables are reviewed on a monthly basis to determine if the reserve is adequate and adjusted accordingly at that time.  The evaluation of 
these factors involves subjective judgments.  Thus, changes in these factors or changes in economic circumstances may significantly impact our 
Consolidated Financial Statements.  

inventory reserves – We establish a reserve for inventories based on the change in inventory requirements due to product line 
changes, the feasibility of using obsolete parts for upgraded part substitutions, the required parts needed for part supply sales, replacement parts 
and for estimated shrinkage.   

17

 
A n n u A l   R e p o R t

wArrAnty – A provision is made for estimated warranty costs at the time the product is shipped and revenue is recognized. The warranty 
period is:  the earlier of one year from the date of first use or 18 months from date of shipment for parts only; an additional four years on 
compressors (if applicable); 15 years on aluminized steel gas-fired heat exchangers (if applicable); 25 years on stainless steel heat exchangers (if 
applicable); and 10 years on gas-fired heat exchangers in RL products (if applicable).  With the introduction of the RQ product line in 2010, our 
warranty policy for the RQ series was implemented to cover parts for two years from date of unit shipment and labor for one year from date of 
unit shipment.  Warranty expense is estimated based on the warranty period, historical warranty trends and associated costs, and any known 
identifiable warranty issue.   

Due to the absence of warranty history on new products, an additional provision may be made for such products.  Our estimated future warranty 
cost is subject to adjustment from time to time depending on changes in actual warranty trends and cost experience.  Should actual claim rates 
differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated product warranty liability would be required.   

medicAl insurAnce – A provision is made for medical costs associated with our Medical Employee Benefit Plan, which is primarily a 
self-funded plan. A provision is made for estimated medical costs based on historical claims paid and potential significant future claims. The plan 
is supplemented by employee contributions and any claim over $125,000 is covered by insurance.

stock compensAtion – We measure and recognize compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to our 
employees and directors, including stock options and restricted stock awards, based on their fair values at the time of grant. Compensation 
expense, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized on a straight-line basis during the service period of the related share-based compensation 
award. The fair value of each option award and restricted stock award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option 
pricing model. The use of the Black-Scholes option valuation model requires the input of subjective assumptions such as: the expected volatility, 
the expected term of the options granted, expected dividend yield, and the risk free rate. 

Actual results have been within management’s expectations.

New ACCOuNtiNg pRONOuNCeMeNtS  

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (ASU 2010-06). The provisions of 
ASU 2010-06 amend Topic 820 to require reporting entities to make new disclosures about recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements 
including significant transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and information on purchases, sales, issuances, and 
settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2010-6 was effective for annual reporting periods 
beginning after December 15, 2009, except for Level 3 reconciliation disclosures which are effective for annual periods beginning after December 
15, 2010. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact of the consolidated financial statements. 

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value 
Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The ASU amends the fair value measurement and disclosure guidance for 
measuring amounts at fair value as well as disclosures about these measurements. The amendments introduced are effective for annual periods 
beginning after December 15, 2011, and should be applied prospectively. This ASU clarifies existing concepts and the amendments are not 
expected to result in significant changes to how the Company currently applies the fair value principles. 

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This standard eliminates the current option to report 
other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. The amendment requires that all non-owner changes in 
stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. 
In the two-statement approach, the first statement should present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second 
statement that should present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive 
income. The amendment must be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after 
December 15, 2011. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

We experience various market risks, primarily from commodity prices and interest rates. We do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge 
our interest rate risk.  However, occasionally we use financial derivatives to economically hedge our commodity price risk. We do not use financial 

derivatives for speculative purposes.

iNteReSt RAte RiSk. 

We are exposed to interest rate risk on our revolving credit facility, which bears a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.5%.  At December 31, 2011 
we had borrowings of $4.6 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility.  The weighted average interest rate was 3.4% and 4.0% for the 
years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

We are exposed to volatility in the prices of commodities used in some of our products and occasionally we use fixed price cancellable and non-
cancellable contracts with our major suppliers for periods of 6 to 18 months to manage this exposure. From time to time we use financial derivatives 
to economically hedge our commodity price risk. We do not have committed commodity derivative instruments in place at December 31, 2011.

(A) evAluAtion oF disclosure controls And procedures

At the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our 
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and 
procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer believe that:

•  Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance threshold to ensure that information required to be 

disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within 
the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and

•  Our disclosure controls and procedures operate at a reasonable assurance threshold such that important information flows to appropriate 
collection and disclosure points in a timely manner and are effective to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated 
to our management, and made known to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, particularly during the period when this 
Annual Report was prepared, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosure.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that these controls 
and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2011.

(B) mAnAgement’s AnnuAl report on internAl control over FinAnciAl reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. Our internal control over 
financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officer, and effected by 
our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the 
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

19

A n n u A l   R e p o R t

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can 
provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

In making our assessment of internal control over financial reporting, management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring 
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of 
December 31, 2011, our internal control over financial reporting is effective at the reasonable assurance level based on those criteria.

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011 has been audited by Grant Thornton LLP, 
our independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included in this Item 9A of this report on Form 10-K.

(c) chAnges in internAl control over FinAnciAl reporting

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2011 that have materially 
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Stockholders
AAON, Inc.

We have audited AAON, Inc.’s (a Nevada Corporation) and subsidiaries, collectively, the “Company”, internal control over financial reporting 
as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring 
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control 
over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying 
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion of the Company’s internal 
control over financial reporting based on our audit. 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards 
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was 
maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk 
that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and 
performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our 
opinion. 

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial 
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A 
company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in 
reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that 
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, 
and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the 
company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the 
company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 

20

2011Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any 
evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that 
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, 
based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by COSO. 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated 
balance sheets of AAON, Inc. and subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, 
stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011 and our report 
dated March 14, 2012, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

2011REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders 
AAON, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AAON, Inc. (a Nevada Corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as 
of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash 
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s 
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AAON, 
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the 
period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s 
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued 
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated March 14, 2012, expressed an 
unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

1.  BuSiNeSS deSCRiptiON

AAON, Inc. is a Nevada corporation which was incorporated on August 18, 1987.  Our operating subsidiaries include AAON, Inc., an Oklahoma 
corporation and AAON Coil Products, Inc., a Texas corporation. The Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts and the accounts 
of our subsidiaries.  Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Annual Report to “AAON,” the “Company”, “we,” “us,” “our” or “ours” 
refer to AAON, Inc., and our subsidiaries.

We are engaged in the manufacture and sale of air conditioning and heating equipment consisting of rooftop units, chillers, air-handling units, 
make-up air units, heat recovery units, condensing units and coils.

2.  SuMMARy OF SigNiFiCANt ACCOuNtiNg pOLiCieS

principles oF consolidAtion

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The 
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant 
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

cAsh And cAsh equivAlents

We consider all highly liquid temporary investments with original maturity dates of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash 
equivalents consist of bank deposits and highly liquid, interest-bearing money market funds.

32

2011 
 
 
investments

Investments with a maturity of greater than three months to one year are classified as short-term investments. Investments with maturities 
beyond one year may be classified as short-term if we reasonably expect the investment to be realized in cash or sold or consumed during the 
normal operating cycle of the business; otherwise, they are classified as long-term. Investments available for sale are recorded at market value.  
Investments held to maturity are measured at amortized cost in the consolidated balance sheets if it is our intent and ability to hold those 
securities to maturity. Any unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities are reported as other comprehensive income (loss) as a 
separate component of stockholders’ equity until realized or until a decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary. 

We have no outstanding investments in certificates of deposit and corporate notes and bonds at December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2010 
investments in certificates of deposits and corporate notes and bonds amounted to $1.5 million and $9.5 million, respectively. 

Accounts And notes receivABle 

Accounts and notes receivable are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.  We generally do not require 
that our customers provide collateral. The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including 
the credit risk of specific customers, the customer’s ability to pay current obligations, historical trends, economic and market conditions and the 
age of the receivable.  Accounts are considered past due when the balance has been outstanding for greater than ninety days.  Past due accounts 
are generally written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts only after all collection attempts have been exhausted.  

concentrAtion oF credit risk

Our customers are concentrated primarily in the domestic commercial and industrial new construction and replacement markets.  To date, our 
sales have been primarily to the domestic market, with foreign sales accounting for approximately 5% of revenues for the years ended December 
31, 2011 and 2010.  No customer accounted for 10% of our sales during 2011, 2010 or 2009 or more than 5% of our accounts receivable balance at 
December 31, 2011 or 2010.

FAir vAlue oF FinAnciAl instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the 
short-term maturity of the items.  The carrying amount of the Company’s revolving line of credit, and other payables, approximate their fair 
values either due to their short term nature, the variable rates associated with the debt or based on current rates offered to the Company for debt 
with similar characteristics.  See Note 10 for further detail about fair market value.

inventories 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Cost in inventory includes purchased parts and 
materials, direct labor and applied manufacturing overhead. We establish an allowance for excess and obsolete inventories based on product line 
changes, the feasibility of substituting parts and the need for supply and replacement parts.

property, plAnt And equipment

Property, plant and equipment, including significant improvements, are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Repairs and 
maintenance and any gains or losses on disposition are included in operations.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Buildings 

Machinery and equipment 

Furniture and Fixtures 

10-40 years

3-15 years

2-5 years

impAirment oF long-lived Assets

We periodically review long-lived assets for possible impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management’s judgment, 
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset or 
asset group to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or asset group. If the undiscounted cash flows 
are less than the carrying amount of the asset or asset group, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of 
the asset or asset group exceeds its fair value. 

33

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A n n u A l   R e p o R t

reseArch And development

The costs associated with research and development for the purpose of developing and improving new products are expensed as incurred. For the 
years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009 research and development costs amounted to approximately $4.8 million, $3.6 million, and $3.1 
million, respectively. 

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.  Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009 was approximately $1.2 
million, $0.877 million and $0.761 million respectively. 

shipping And hAndling

We incur shipping and handling costs in the distribution of products sold that are recorded in cost of sales.  Shipping charges that are billed to 
the customer are recorded in revenues and as an expense in cost of sales. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 shipping and 
handling fees amounted to approximately $8.7 million, $8.6 million, and $10.2 million, respectively. 

income tAxes 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected 
future tax consequences of temporary differences between the book carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities.  We establish 
accruals for uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that our tax return positions may not be fully sustained.  The Company 
records a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will 
not be realized. 

stock compensAtion

The Company recognizes expense for its share-based compensation based on the fair value of the awards that are granted. The Company’s share-
based compensation plans provide for the granting of stock options, and restricted stock. The fair values of stock options are estimated at the date 
of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The use of the Black-Scholes option valuation model requires the input of subjective 
assumptions. Measured compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized ratably over the vesting period of the related share-based 
compensation award. The fair value of restricted stock awards is determined based on the market value of the Company’s shares on the grant date 
and the compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis during the service period of the respective grant.

FinAnciAl derivAtives

The Company occasionally uses derivative financial instruments to reduce its exposure to the risk of increasing commodity prices. Contract 
terms of the hedging instrument closely mirror those of the hedged forecasted transaction providing for the hedge relationship to be highly 
effective both at inception and continuously throughout the term of the hedging relationship. The Company does not engage in speculative 
transactions, nor does the Company hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. 

The Company recognizes all derivatives on the balance sheets at fair value. Derivatives that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting are 
adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value are recognized in accumulated 
other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged transaction is recognized in income. If a hedging instrument is terminated, any unrealized 
gain (loss) at the date of termination is carried in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged transaction is recognized in 
income. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is recognized in income in the period of change.

revenue recognition

We recognize revenues from sales of products when the products are shipped and the title and risk of ownership pass to the customer.  Final sales 
prices are fixed based on purchase orders.  Sales allowances and customer incentives are treated as reductions to sales and are provided for based 
on historical experiences and current estimates.  Our policy is to record the collection and payment of sales taxes through a liability account.

We present revenues net of certain payments to our independent manufacturer representatives (“Representatives”).  Representatives are national 
companies that are in the business of providing HVAC units and other related products and services to customers.  The end user customer orders 
a bundled group of products and services from the Representative and expects the Representative to fulfill the order.  Only after the specifications 
are agreed to by the Representative and the customer, and the decision is made to use an AAON HVAC unit, will we receive notice of the order.  
We establish the amount we must receive for our HVAC unit (“minimum sales price”), but do not control the total order price which is negotiated 
by the Representative with the end user customer.  

34

2011We are responsible for billings and collections resulting from all sales transactions, including those initiated by our Representatives.  The 
Representatives submit the total order price to us for invoicing and collection.  The total order price includes our minimum sales price and 
an additional amount which may include both the Representatives’ fee and amounts due for additional products and services required by the 
customer.  These additional products and services may include controls purchased from another manufacturer to operate the unit, start-up 
services, and curbs for supporting the unit (“Third Party Products”).  All are associated with the purchase of a HVAC unit but may be provided by 
the Representative or another third party.  The Company is under no obligation related to Third Party Products. 

The Representatives do not provide us with a break-out of the amount of the total order price over the minimum sales price which includes 
the Representatives’ fee and Third Party Product amounts (“Due to Representatives”).  The Due to Representatives amount is paid only after all 
amounts associated with the order are collected from the customer.  The amount of payments to our representatives was $51.6 million, $51.4 
million and $58.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.  

insurAnce reserves 

Under the Company’s insurance programs, coverage is obtained for significant liability limits as well as those risks required to be insured by law 
or contract. It is the policy of the Company to self-insure a portion of certain expected losses related primarily to workers’ compensation and 
medical liability. Provisions for losses expected under these programs are recorded based on the Company’s estimates of the aggregate liabilities 
for the claims incurred.

product wArrAnties

A provision is made for the estimated cost of maintaining product warranties to customers at the time the product is sold based upon historical 
claims experience by product line. The Company records a liability and an expense for estimated future warranty claims based upon historical 
experience and management’s estimate of the level of future claims.  Changes in the estimated amounts recognized in prior years are recorded as 
an adjustment to the liability and expense in the current year.

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 derivative financial instruments.  Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.  

reclAssiFicAtions 

Certain amounts have been reclassified from the prior year presentation to conform to the current year presentation with no impact to reported 
net income or stockholders’ equity.

5.  NOte ReCeiVABLe

In connection with the closure of our Canadian facility on May 18, 2009 we sold land and a building in September 2010 and assumed a note 
receivable from the borrower secured by the property. The $1.1 million, fifteen-year note has an interest rate of 4.0% and is payable to us monthly, 
and has a $0.6 million balloon payment due in October 2025.  Interest payments are recognized in interest income.

We evaluate the note for impairment on a quarterly basis.  We determine the note receivable to be impaired if we are uncertain of its collectability 
based on the contractual terms.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010 there was no impairment.

6.  SuppLeMeNtAL CASH FLOw iNFORMAtiON

Cash paid for interest payments were approximately $0.277 million, $0.045 million, and $0.009 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 
2010 and 2009, respectively.  Payments for income taxes were $6.4 million, $7.8 million and $10.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2011, 
2010 and 2009, respectively.

Capital expenditures amounted to $39.8 million, $17.5 million and $9.8 million in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. At December 31, 2011, $3.9 
million of capital expenditures are accrued in accounts payable.

For the year ended December 31, 2011 we incurred a loss of approximately $1.8 million from the trade-in of production equipment. This 
equipment was replaced with new state of the art equipment that combines the latest advancement in automation and laser technology as a result 
of our strategic vision to improve our current manufacturing efficiencies. 

7. wARRANtieS

A provision is made for estimated warranty costs at the time the related products are sold based upon the warranty period, historical trends, 
new products and any known identifiable warranty issues.  Warranty expense was $4.2 million, $4.5 million and $4.8 million for the years ended 
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

9. ReVOLViNg CRedit FACiLity

Our revolving credit facility provides for maximum borrowings of $30.0 million which is provided by the Bank of Oklahoma, National 
Association. Under the line of credit, there is one standby letter of credit totaling $0.9 million. Borrowings available under the revolving credit 
facility at December 31, 2011, were $24.5 million. Interest on borrowings is payable monthly at LIBOR plus 2.5%. No fees are associated with the 
unused portion of the committed amount. As of December 31, 2011 our outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility is $4.6 million 
and had no borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2010. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the weighted average interest rate was 3.4% and 
4.0%, respectively. 

At December 31, 2011, we were in compliance with our financial covenants. These covenants require that we meet certain parameters related to 
our tangible net worth, total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio and working capital. At December 31, 2011 our tangible net worth was $122.5 
million which meets the requirement of being at or above $95.0 million. Our total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio were 0.46 to 1.0 which 
meets the requirement of not being above 2 to 1. Our working capital was $45.7 million which meets the requirement of being at or above $35.0 
million.

The Company determines the fair value of its financial instruments based on the fair value definition and hierarchy levels established in the 
guidance of ASC Topic 820, ‘Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure’.  Three levels are established within the hierarchy that may be used to 
measure fair value:

Level 1:  Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  Level 1 assets and liabilities include exchange-traded 
derivative contracts, U.S. treasury securities and certain publicly traded equity securities.

Level 2:  Observable inputs, including Level 1 prices that have been adjusted; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in 
markets that are less active than traded exchanges; and other inputs that are observable or can be substantially corroborated by observable market 
data.

Level 3:  Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are a significant component of the fair value of the assets 
or liabilities. Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. 
These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  Judgment is 
required in evaluating both quantitative and qualitative factors in the determination of significance for purposes of fair value level classification.  
Level 3 amounts can include assets and liabilities whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or 
similar techniques, as well as assets and liabilities for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or 
estimation.

The lowest level of input that is a significant component of the fair value measurement determines the placement of the entire fair value 
measurement in the hierarchy. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may 
affect the valuation of the fair value of the financial instrument and its placement within the hierarchy level.

We file income tax returns in the U.S., state and foreign income tax returns jurisdictions.   We are currently under examination for our U.S. 
federal income taxes for 2008 and 2009 and are subject to examination for tax years 2010 and 2011, and to non-U.S. income tax examinations for 
the tax years of 2007 through 2010.  In addition, we are subject to state and local income tax examinations for the tax years 2006 through 2011. 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized an income tax receivable of approximately $10.0 million. The tax 
receivable represents the anticipated Federal and State estimated tax over payments as of December 31, 2011 primarily as a result of new 
equipment purchases placed in service during the year which qualified for the 100% bonus tax depreciation expense allowed under the Tax Relief, 
Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010.

We are unaware of any positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of any unrecognized tax benefit will significantly 
increase or decrease within 12 months of the reporting date. There are no unrecognized tax benefits that if recognized would impact the effective 
tax rate at December 31, 2011 and 2010. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to income tax balances in income tax 
expense.

We have historically maintained a stock option plan for key employees, directors and consultants (“the 1992 Plan”).  The 1992 Plan provided for 
6.6 million shares of common stock to be issued under the plan.  Under the terms of the plan, the exercise price of shares granted may not be less 
than 85% of the fair market value at the date of the grant.  Options granted to directors prior to May 25, 2004, vest one year from the date of grant 
and are exercisable for nine years thereafter.  Options granted to directors on or after May 25, 2004, vest one-third each year, commencing one 
year after the date of grant.  All other options granted vest at a rate of 20% per year, commencing one year after date of grant, and are exercisable 
during years 2-10. 

On May 22, 2007, our stockholders adopted a Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) which provides an additional 1,125,000 shares that can be 
granted in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, performance units and performance awards.  Since incep-
tion of the Plan, non-qualified stock options and restricted stock awards have been granted with the same vesting schedule as the previous plan.  
Under the LTIP, the exercise price of shares granted may not be less than 100% of the fair market value at the date of the grant.

We recognized approximately $0.389 million, $0.446 million and $0.484 million at December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, in pre-tax 
compensation expense related to stock options in the Consolidated Statements of Income.  The total pre-tax compensation cost related to un-
vested stock options not yet recognized as of December 31, 2011 is $1.1 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period 
of 2.3 years. 

The following weighted average assumptions were used to determine the fair value of the stock options granted on the original grant date for 
expense recognition purposes for options granted during December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009:

director and Officers

Expected dividend yield

The expected term of the options is based on evaluations of historical and expected future employee exercise behavior.  The risk-free 
interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life at the 
grant date.  Volatility is based on historical volatility of our stock over time periods equal to the expected life at grant date.

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during 2011 and 2010 was $7.06 and $6.57, respectively.  The total intrinsic value of 
options exercised during December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $1.1 million, $2.4 million and $3.3 million, respectively.  The cash received from 
options exercised during December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $0.494 million, $1.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively.  The impact of these 
cash receipts is included in financing activities in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.  For the year ended December 31, 
2011, 2010 and 2009, the excess tax benefits of stock options exercised and restricted stock awards vested was $0.211 million, $0.356 million and

The total grant date fair value of options vested during December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively.   

During 2007, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors authorized and issued restricted stock awards to directors and key employ-
ees. The restricted stock award program offers the opportunity to earn shares of AAON Common Stock over time, rather than options that give 
the right to purchase stock at a set price.  Restricted stock awards granted to directors vest one-third each year.  All other restricted stock awards 
vest at a rate of 20% per year.  Restricted stock awards are grants that entitle the holder to shares of common stock subject to certain terms.  The 
fair value of restricted stock awards is based on the fair market value of AAON common stock on the respective grant dates, reduced for the pres-
ent value of dividends.

These awards are recorded at their fair value on the date of grant and compensation cost is recorded using straight-line vesting over the service 
period.  The weighted average grant date fair value of restricted stock awards granted during 2011 and 2010 was $20.65 and $14.83 per share, re-
spectively. We recognized approximately $0.291 million, $0.344 million and $0.364 million at December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively in 
pre-tax compensation expense related to restricted stock awards in the Consolidated Statements of Income.  In addition, as of December 31, 2011, 
unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards was approximately $0.466 million which is expected to be recognized 
over a weighted average period of 1.5 years.

Defined Contribution Plan - 401(k) – We sponsor a defined contribution plan (“the Plan”). Eligible employees may make contributions in ac-
cordance with the Plan and IRS guidelines. In addition to the traditional 401(k), effective July 2010, eligible employees were given the option of 
making an after-tax contribution to a Roth 401(k) or a combination of both. Effective May 30, 2005, the Plan was amended to provide for auto-
matic enrollment and provided for an automatic increase to the deferral percentage at January 1st of each year and each year thereafter, unless 
the employee elects to decline the automatic increase and enrollment. Beginning with pay periods after May 30, 2005, the one year enrollment 
waiting period was waived.  

Under the plan the Company contributes a specified percentage of each eligible employee’s compensation. In addition, the Company contrib-
utes 1.5% of eligible payroll to the 401(k) plan each year.  We contribute in the form of cash and direct the investment to shares of AAON stock.  
Employees are 100% vested in salary deferral contributions and vest 20% per year at the end of years two through six of employment in employer 
matching contributions.  For the year ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 we made matching contributions of $2.2 million, $1.7 million 
and $1.2 million, respectively. Administrative expenses were approximately $0.108 million, $0.097 million and $0.081 million for the years ended 
2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Profit Sharing Bonus Plan – We maintain a discretionary profit sharing bonus plan under which 10% of pre-tax profit is paid to eligible employ-
ees on a quarterly basis in order to reward employee productivity.  Eligible employees are regular full-time employees who are actively employed 
and working on the first day of the calendar quarter and remain continuously, actively employed and working on the last day of the quarter and 
who work at least 80% of the quarter. Profit sharing expense was $2.4 million, $3.8 million and $4.8 million for the years ended December 31, 
2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Stockholder Rights Plan - During 1999, the Board of Directors adopted a Stockholder Rights Plan (the “Plan”), which was amended in 2002.  
Under the Plan, stockholders of record on March 1, 1999, received a dividend of one right per share of our Common Stock.  Stock issued after 
March 1, 1999, contains a notation incorporating the rights.  Each right entitles the holder to purchase one one-thousandth (1/1,000) of a share of 
Series A Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $90.  The rights are traded with our Common Stock.  The rights become exercisable after a person 
has acquired, or a tender offer is made for, 15% or more of our Common Stock.  If either of these events occurs, upon exercise the holder (other 
than a holder owning more than 15% of the outstanding stock) will receive the number of shares of our Common Stock having a market value 
equal to two times the exercise price.

The rights may be redeemed by us for $0.001 per right until a person or group has acquired 15% of our Common Stock.  The rights expire on 
August 20, 2012.

Stock Repurchase - On May 12, 2010, we completed a stock buyback program under a Board of Directors authorization dated November 6, 2007.  
As authorized we repurchased a total of 2.7 million shares under this program for an aggregate price of approximately $36.1 million, or an aver-
age price of $13.36 per share.  We purchased these shares at current market prices.  

On May 17, 2010, the Board authorized a new stock buyback program, targeting repurchases of up to approximately 5% (approximately 1.3 mil-
lion shares) of our outstanding stock from time to time in open market transactions.  Through June 28, 2010, we repurchased a total of approxi-
mately 0.718 million shares for an aggregate price of $11.5 million, or an average price of $16.04 per share.  We purchased the shares at current 
market prices.  No purchases were made during 2011.

On July 1, 2005, we entered into a stock repurchase arrangement by which employee participants in our 401(k) savings and investment plan are 
entitled to have shares of AAON stock in their accounts sold to us to provide diversification of their investments.  The maximum number of 
shares to be repurchased is not known under the program as the amount is contingent on the number of shares sold by employees. Through De-
cember 31, 2011, we repurchased 1.7 million shares for an aggregate price of $21.5 million or an average price of $12.71 per share. We purchased 
the shares at current market prices.

On November 7, 2006, the Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase shares from certain directors and officers following their exercise of 
stock options.  The maximum number of shares to be repurchased under the program is not known as the amount is contingent on the number 
of shares sold.  Through December 31, 2011, we repurchased 579,625 shares for an aggregate price of $8.1 million or an average price of $13.98 
per share.  We purchased the shares at current market prices.

Dividends - At the discretion of the Board of Directors we pay semi-annual cash dividends. Board approval is required to determine the date of 
declaration and amount for each semi-annual dividend payment. The Board of Directors approved dividend payments of $0.12 per share related 
to the 3-for-2 stock split effective on June 13, 2011.  

During 2011 we declared dividends to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 10, 2011 and December 1, 2011 which were paid on 
July 1, 2011 and December 22, 2011, respectively.  We paid cash dividends of $5.9 million, $9.2 million, and $5.9 million in 2011, 2010, and 2009, 
respectively.

We are subject to various claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. We closely monitor these claims and legal actions 
and frequently consult with our legal counsel to determine whether they may, when resolved, have a material adverse effect on our financial posi-
tion or results of operations and accrue and/or disclose loss contingencies as appropriate. 

We are party to several short-term, cancelable and occasionally non-cancelable, fixed price contracts with major suppliers for the purchase of raw 
material and component parts. We expect to receive delivery of raw materials for use in our manufacturing operations.  These contracts are not 
accounted for as derivative instruments because they meet the normal purchases and sales exemption.

Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during 
the period. Diluted net income per share assumes the conversion of all potentially dilutive securities and is calculated by dividing net income by 
the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus all potentially dilutive securities. Dilutive common shares 
consist primarily of stock options and restricted stock awards.

2.  Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make

15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:

a) designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervi-
sion, to ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others 
within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;

likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting; and

5.  The registrant’s other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to 

the registrant’s auditors and the audit committee of registrant’s board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

a) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are 
reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and
