Whatever your machinery
and equipment appraisal needs, an AIS
certified appraisal
can help.
Do you need operating
capital or an asset-based line of credit? An AIS certified appraisal
on your equipment can get you the money you need.
Are you trying to
negotiate a fair settlement with
your insurance company due to damage or loss? An AIS certified appraisal will
help you get the highest possible settlement.
Do
you want to take a tax deduction on equipment
you've donated? An AIS certified appraisal will document the full value
of the equipment.
Would
you like a reduction in the property taxes paid on your equipment - a savings
you will realize year after year? An AIS certified appraisal can help you do
that.
Do
you have a loss due to a natural
disaster such as hurricanes, tornados, floods or wind, sometimes called
"Act of God"? An AIS certified appraisal of your equipment will
document the value before the loss occurred. An AIS certified appraisal will
help you settle with your insurance company for the maximum amount. In 99% of
cases, equipment is worth more than the "depreciated value" - in some
cases, much more. An AIS certified appraisal will also help you document
losses for tax filing purposes.
Do
you need an appraisal of equipment for an equipment leasing dispute? An AIS
certified appraisal has helped hundreds of people settle disputes with leasing
companies.
Do
you want to find out what equipment is worth
before you buy it? An AIS certified appraisal can save you thousands of
dollars. AND an AIS certified appraisal can help you get the financing of
start-up capital you need to start or grow your business.
Our
appraisers are up-to-date with
ever fluctuating prices, using on-line services, auction results, and our
extensive in-house reference library. AND we always deliver on time.
As
you might expect from a "client first"
company, AIS appraisal service continues "after delivery". We are
available before, during and after the report is delivered to answer questions,
provide feedback or just be there for our clients. And of course, AIS prepares
all machinery and equipment appraisals in accordance with 2006 Uniform
Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice and adheres to the Code of Ethics
of The American Society of Appraisers which is the oldest multidisciplinary
professional society in the U.S.
Approaches to Value
In-Office Appraisal (Desktop Opinion) is
a professional opinion of the appropriately defined value, expressed in terms
of U.S. Dollars to be realized by the sale of equipment, in which the opinion
is generated from inventory lists, photographs and/or other informational
materials supplied to the appraiser and evaluated without the benefit of an
on-site inspection. A Desktop Opinion can be used for some situations but is
not appropriate for many appraisal needs where an on-site inspection is
required.
Fair Market Value in Use
is a professional opinion of the estimated most probable price expressed in
terms of cash in U.S. Dollars to be realized for property in an exchange
between a willing buyer and a willing seller, with equity to both, neither
being under any compulsion to buy or sell, and both parties fully aware of all
relevant facts, as installed for intended utilization, as of the effective date
of the appraisal report.

facts as of the effective date of the appraisal report.
Cost of Reproduction is a
professional opinion of the cost expressed in terms of cash in U.S. Dollars,
F.O.B. the manufacturer's plant, to purchase a new item of like quality and
specifications. If such an item is unavailable, the appraiser has used his or
her best judgment in estimating a value as of the effective date of the
appraisal.
Orderly Liquidation Value
is a professional opinion of the estimated most probable price expressed in
terms of cash in U.S. Dollars which the subject equipment could typically
realize at a privately negotiated sale, properly advertised and professionally
managed, by a seller obligated to sell over an extended period of time, usually
within six to twelve months, as of the effective date of the appraisal report.
Further, the ability of the asset group to draw sufficient prospective buyers
to ensure competitive offers is considered. All assets are to be sold on a
piecemeal basis "as is" with purchasers responsible for removal of
assets at their own risk and expense. Any deletions or additions to the total
assets appraised could change the psychological and/or monetary appeal
necessary to gain the value indicated.
Forced Liquidation Value
is a professional opinion of the estimated most probable price expressed in
terms of cash in U.S. Dollars which could typically be realized at a properly
advertised and conducted public auction sale, held under forced sale conditions
and under present day economic trends, as of the effective date of the
appraisal report. Conclusions taken into consideration are physical location,
difficulty of removal, physical condition, adaptability, specialization,
marketability, overall appearance and psychological appeal. Further, the
ability of the asset group to draw sufficient prospective buyers to insure
competitive offers is considered. All assets are to be sold on a piecemeal
basis "as is" with purchasers responsible for removal of assets at
their own risk and expense. Any deletions or additions to the total assets
appraised could change the psychological and/or monetary appeal necessary to
gain the value indicated.
