AMC\VALUE$, through its founder Kenneth M. Dufour, (ASA) is a recognized leader in
developing Appraisal/Valuation and Forecasting Services for the Aerospace Industry.
Each appraisal/ valuation performed by AMC\VALUE$ is carefully executed to
determine subject aircraft’s Current Market Value (CMV), forecasted and residual
values.
AMC\VALUE$ has appraised thousands of aircraft on an individual and fleet basis. In
addition to the appraisal of Air Transport, Regional and Business/Corporate Aircraft, we
also specialize in operational, safety and security reviews.
We conduct a detailed analysis of the aircraft’s specifications during the appraisal
process, followed by an on-site inspection, including a detailed valuation of the actual
asset, inspection of the operator’s facilities, a thorough review of maintenance and
associated historical records. After inspection, our technical and financial analyst take
the base value of the aircraft series and adjust it upward or downward, depending upon
the aircraft’s condition, maintenance/overhaul status, equipment, modifications and
upgrades. To calculate the value of each of these factors, our staff applies precise
formulas developed by AMC\VALUE$ own appraisal and technical experts. The end
result is the most accurate appraisals and forecasted values that can be scientifically
achieved and are further supported by what has been traditionally the most accurate,
subjective analysis.
Forecasted and residual values are vital elements in determining lease rates, residual
insurance commitments and premiums, tax considerations, loan collateral and the worth
of an investment portfolio, now or at some future date. Appraisals and Forecasting is
our niche in the Aviation and Financial Community.
Our reputation for sound professional American Society of Appraisers practices and
ethical conduct precedes us and many lenders and lessors will not complete the
transaction unless AMC\VALUE$ performs the appraisal.
Integrity involves amongst other things the questions of both the reality and the
appearance of conflicts. In order to avoid either, AMC\VALUE$ maintains its
independent ownership with no interrelation or affiliations with Brokers, Dealers,
Investment Bankers, Leasing Companies, Airlines, Manufacturers or other parties who
would have a direct, indirect or otherwise vested interest in any service we provide or
our reports; our current or future values; or our impact on values in the marketplace in
general. It is this commitment to independent services that will continue to assure you
of the integrity of our services and products.
We invite you to spend a few moments and review this brief but thorough description of
some of the services we offer, and feel free to call us for any questions on your
immediate or future needs.
