Is this as bad as it looks?

We are in process of purchasing this house and home inspector discovered three trusses were cut to accomodate heating/AC unit which was placed in attic. Is this normal? It would appear that this would compromise structure. Any experts out there who can advise us? We realize we probably need a structural engineer but before we pay for that we were just wondering how big a problem this might be. Thanks!
