PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION


Item 1. Financial Statements.

On pages 5 through 10 of this report.


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations.

AAON, Inc., engineers, manufactures and markets commercial
rooftop air-conditioning, heating and heat recovery equipment, air conditioning
coils and air handling and condensing units. AAON's primary products are its RK,
RF and RL (which was designed to replace the RF) series units and the Company
began producing water chillers in late 2001.

AAON sells its products to property owners and contractors
through a network of manufacturers' representatives and its internal sales
force. The demand for AAON's 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, the Company emphasizes the replacement market.

The principal components of cost of goods sold are labor, raw
materials, component costs, factory overhead, freight out and engineering
expense. The principal raw materials used in AAON's manufacturing processes are
steel, copper and aluminum. The major component costs include compressors,
electric motors and electronic controls.

Selling, general and administrative costs include the
Company's internal sales force, warranty costs, profit sharing and
administrative expense. Warranty expense is estimated based on historical trends
and other factors. The Company's warranty period is generally one year from the
date of first use or 15 months from date of shipment; however, compressors (if
applicable) carry an additional four-year warranty and gas-fired heat exchangers
(if applicable) have a 15-year warranty.

In late 1997, the Company began receiving additional machinery
to allow for continued expansion of its production. At the end of 1997, the
Company bought a 40-acre tract of land across the street from its original
plant, containing 457,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing/warehouse space and a 22,000
sq. ft. office building (the "expansion facility"). In 1999 an enlargement of
slightly over 90,000 sq. ft. was begun on the Longview, Texas, facility, which
was completed in 2000. During 2001 the Company began producing its new, larger
tonnage RL series units in 100,000 sq. ft. of the expansion facility. Throughout
this time period, machinery was added in both the Tulsa and Longview facilities,
which allowed the Company to increase sales by 93% from 1997 to 2000. In
addition, these facilities have allowed the Company to install assembly areas
specifically designed for a particular product, thus improving assembly labor.
The new machinery additions have permitted better utilization of manufacturing
personnel. Also during this period, the Company invested heavily in creating new
computer software to improve its operations. These improvements and expansions
contributed to the increase in margins from 16.0% in 1997 to 24.7% in 2001.

Set forth below is income statement information with respect
to the Company for the quarters ended March 31, 2002, and 2001:

Results of Operations. Net sales decreased by $3,445,000, down
8.7% from $39,435,000 to $35,990,000 during the three-month period ended March
31, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001. Sales to existing customers in
the first quarter of 2002 accounted for 85% of the Company's business, with the
balance coming from new business. The decrease in sales in 2002 resulted from a
continuation of a slowdown in the construction market and overall economic
conditions.

Gross profit decreased 1.9% in the first three months of 2002
to 26.7% compared to 28.6% in the same period in 2001. The decrease in margins
resulted from lower plant utilization attributable to the 8.7% decrease in sales
noted above.

SG&A expenses decreased $1,414,000 (26.4%) from $5,350,000
during the three months ended March 31, 2001, compared to $3,936,000 for the
same period in 2002, due primarily to improved warranty costs in 2002. Warranty
costs in 2001 were affected by the introduction of new products both within
existing and new product lines.

Financial Condition and Liquidity. Cash and cash equivalents
increased from $1,123,000 at December 31, 2001, to $10,653,000 at March 31,
2002. These funds and subsequent cash flows will be retained for general working
capital purposes and future business opportunities.

Accounts receivable decreased by $832,000 at March 31, 2002,
compared to December 31, 2001, due to increased collection efforts.


(2)
Property, plant and equipment increased $322,000 at March 31,
2002, reflecting primarily additions to machinery and equipment and building
renovations. All capital expenditures in the first three months of 2002 were
financed out of cash flow.

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities were up $2,137,000
due primarily to an increase in income taxes payable and the timing of payments
to vendors.

Management believes the Company's bank revolving credit
facility (or comparable financing), term loans and projected cash flow from
operations will provide the necessary liquidity and capital resources to the
Company for the foreseeable future. The Company's belief that it will have the
necessary liquidity and capital resources is based upon its knowledge of the
HVAC industry and its place in that industry, its ability to limit the growth of
its business if necessary, and its relationship with its existing bank lender.
For information concerning the Company's long-term debt at March 31, 2002, see
Note 3 to the financial Statements on pages 9 and 10 of this report.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report includes "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as
"expects," "anticipates," "intends," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," "will,"
variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such
forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future
performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions which are
difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ
materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking
statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are
made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements include (1) the timing
and extent of changes in material prices, (2) the effects of fluctuations in the
commercial/industrial new construction market, (3) the timing and extent of
changes in interest rates, as well as other competitive factors during the year,
and (4) general economic, market or business conditions.


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

While the Company is exposed to changes in interest rates
regarding its total debt of $3,992,000, a hypothetical 10% change in interest
rates on its variable rate borrowings would not have a material effect on the
Company's earnings or cash flow.

Foreign sales account for less than 2% of the Company's total
sales and the Company accepts payment for such sales only in U.S. dollars; hence
the Company is not exposed by any foreign currency exchange rate risk.

Important raw materials purchased by the Company are steel,
copper and aluminum, which are subject to price fluctuations. The Company
attempts to limit the impact of price increases on these materials by
negotiating with each of its major suppliers on a term basis from six months to
three years.


(3)
Item 5.           Other Events.

On April 24, 2002, the Company declared a 3-for-2 stock split
to be paid in the form of a 50% stock dividend on June 4, 2002, to stockholders
of record at the close of business on May 17, 2002.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2002


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
---------------------
The financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company,
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the
disclosures made in these financial statements are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading when read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's latest audited
financial statements which were included in the Form 10-K Report for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2001, filed by AAON, Inc. with the SEC. Certain
reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform to current
year presentations. These reclassifications had no impact on net income.
However, management believes that no adjustments to the financial statements are
necessary.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank deposits and $10.5 million in highly
liquid, interest-bearing money market funds with initial maturities of three
months or less.

2. INVENTORIES:

Three notes payable due in 84

============= ============


(9)
The bank line of credit has a one year maturity date of July 31, 2002.

4. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
-----------------------------
In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
141, "Business Combinations" (Statement 141), Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (Statement 142), and
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations" (Statement 143). In October 2001, the FASB issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal for Long-Lived Assets" (Statement 144).

Statement 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all
business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Statement 142 requires that
goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be
amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance
with the provisions of Statement 142. The Company is required to adopt the
provisions of Statement 141 immediately and Statement 142 effective January 1,
2002. Goodwill acquired in business combinations completed before July 1, 2001
will continue to be amortized prior to the adoption of Statement 142. The
adoption of Statements 141 and 142 had no material impact on the Company's
results of operations or financial condition.

Statement 143 requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an
asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and a
corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. Statement
143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. Statement 144
retains the requirement to report discontinued operations separately and extends
that reporting to a component of an entity that either has been disposed of or
is classified as held for sale. Statement 144 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001, and for interim periods within those fiscal
years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of Statements 143 and 144
on its financial condition and results of operations.

5. FOOTNOTES INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE:
