GOODWILL, INTANGIBLES AND EQUITY INVESTMENTS

On December 30, 2016, the Company purchased 100% of the outstanding stock of Pemco World Air Services Inc., ("Pemco") for cash consideration in a debt-free acquisition. The purchase price has been allocated to tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill and reflects the strategic value of marketing Pemco's aircraft conversion capabilities and current aircraft hangar operations with the Company's comprehensive set of air transportation solutions. Identified intangible assets include Supplemental Type Certificates ("STCs") granting approval by the FAA for Pemco to market and complete certain aircraft modifications. The Company is in the process of refining its estimates of certain assets including goodwill and intangible assets, therefore the allocation of purchase price is preliminary at this time. The consolidated statements of operations include the revenues and expenses for Pemco for the periods after its acquisition by the Company. The consolidated statements of operations reflect the reclassification of certain previously reported operating expenses to conform to the current presentation.

Carrying value as of September 30, 2017	$	3,000	$	5,038		$	8,038

The airline certificates have an indefinite life and therefore are not amortized. The Company amortizes finite-lived intangibles assets, including customer relationship and STC intangibles, over 4 to 7 years.

In January 2014, the Company acquired a 25 percent equity interest in West Atlantic AB of Gothenburg, Sweden ("West"). West, through its two airlines, Atlantic Airlines Ltd. and West Air Sweden AB, operates a fleet of aircraft on behalf of European regional mail carriers and express logistics providers. The airlines operate a combined fleet of British Aerospace ATPs, Bombardier CRJ-200-PFs, and Boeing 767 and 737 aircraft. West leases three Boeing 767 aircraft from the Company. The Company accounts for West using the equity method of accounting. The Company’s carrying value of West was $7.9 million and $9.9 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, including $5.5 million of excess purchase price over the Company's fair value of West's net assets in January of 2014. The carrying value is reflected in “Other Assets” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

On August 3, 2017 the Company entered into a joint-venture agreement with Precision Aircraft Solutions, LLC, to develop a passenger-to-freighter conversion program for Airbus A321-200 aircraft. The Company anticipates approval of a supplemental type certificate from the FAA in 2019. The Company expects to make contributions equal to its 49% ownership percentage of the program's total costs over the next two years. The Company accounts for its investment in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting. During the third quarter, the company contributed $6.3 million to the joint venture. The carrying value of the joint venture,reflected in “Other Assets” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, was $5.3 million at September 30, 2017.

Stock warrants issued to a lessee (see Note B) as an incentive are recorded as a lease incentive asset using their fair value at the time that the lessee has met its performance obligation and amortized against revenues over the duration of related aircraft leases. The Company's lease incentive granted to the lessee was as follows (in thousands):



	Lease
	Incentive
Carrying value as of December 31, 2016	$	54,730
Value of warrants granted	39,940
Amortization	(9,760		)
Carrying value as of September 30, 2017	$	84,910

The lease incentive began to amortize in April 2016, with the commencement of certain aircraft leases over the duration of the related leases.
