PAN AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF GEOGRAPHY AND HISTORY (PAIGH) Notes to the Financial Statements of

December 31st, 2015 and 2014 (American Dollars)

1. HISTORY AND PURPOSE

PAIGH was created on February 7, 1928 at the VI American Conference performed by the Ministers of the American States in Havana, Cuba, and at request of the Mexican government, Mexico City was established as the headquarters of PAIGH.

Under request of the Mexican government representatives the headquarters were established in Mexico City where Mr. Pascual Ortiz Rubio President by means of a Decree dated May 3, 1930, made the building of 29 Ex Arzobispado street, colonia Observatorio available to the American nations. In 1949 a year after the Organizational Chad of American States (OAS) was signed at the Bogota Conference, the Institute signed an agreement with the Council of the American States and it became its first specialized body. Such agreement was amended and signed in accordance in Washington, D.C. on May 691, 1974.

Since it was founded, more than 80 years ago the Pan American Institute of Geography and History has supported and duly contributed to the advancement of sciences that correspond to its action field.

Goals:

* To foment, coordinate and spread cartographic, geophysical, geographic and historic research as well as the ones of related science that are of interest to America.

To promote and do research, work and training in these disciplines.

* To promote the cooperation among the institutes of their disciplines in America and with the related international organizations.

Juridical Framework:

The sixth American International Conference decided:

Page 9: Independient Audit Report - IPGH

To create the Pan American Institute of Geography and History that would serve for coordinating, distributing and spreading the geographic and historic research among the American States.

2013-2017 Organic Statute, Bylaws and Agreements.

Headquarter agreement with the Mexican Government.

Financial Regulation.

At the 20th General Assembly of the PAIGH that was held from November 20th to 22nd, 2013 in Montevideo, Uruguay, it was resolved to choose the following authorities that will hold office until the 21st General Assembly:

Position Name Country

* President Rigoberto Magaña Chavarría El Salvador * Vice President Roberto Aguilar Falconi Ecuador

Secretary General Rodrigo Barriga Vargas Chile President of the Cartography Commission Carlos López Vázquez Uruguay President of the Geography Commission Jean Parcher USAmerica President of the History Commission Patricia Galeana Herrera Mexico President of the Geophysics Commission Walter Fernández Rojas Costa Rica

* The election of the president took place at the 81st Meeting of Authorities that was held in June, 2014 in Mexico City, and the election of the Vice President was at the 45th Meeting of the Board of the PAIGH that took place in Santiago de Chile in November, 2014.

NOTE 2. MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The criteria for applying the special rules that the management of the Institute considers the most suitable for submitting the information included in the attached financial statements reasonably are:

a) Basis of presentation and disclosure of financial statements

Currency of the financial statements

Page 10: Independient Audit Report - IPGH

The financial statements and their respective notes at December 31st 2015 and 2014 include balances and transactions expressed in U.S. dollars. The accounting, as well as the records and financial statements it issues are made using U.S. dollars as currency (exchange rate of December 31st, 2015: $17.3398 pesos for a dollar, and 2014: $14.7348)

Recognition of the effects of inflation on financial information:

As of January 1st, 2008, the NIF B-10 "Effects of Inflation", which establishes de rules for recognizing the effects of inflation on financial information based on the inflationary environment of the country entered into force. According to the guidelines of NIF B-10, as long as inflation does not exceed 26% in the three previous fiscal years, the effects of inflation on financial information shall not apply. We are presenting the cumulative inflation percentages of the three previous fiscal years and the indexes used to recognize inflation until that year, published by the Instituto Nacional de Estadistica y Geografia (National Institute of Geography and Statistics).

December 31st of Adjustment Factor Inflation Percentage

Of the year Accumulated 2014 1.0408 4.08 12.08 2013 1.0397 3.97 11.80 2012 1.0356 3.57 12.26

Once the book value of the assets that correspond (base figure) has been defined, we suggest restating each of the items that compose the assets according to NIF B-10 Effects of Inflation, provided that the conditions of an inflationary economic environment are complied with.

b) Cash and temporary investments

This item is made by legal tender in cash and deposits in checking accounts available for operation, valued at face value. Investments are valued at their net realizable value.

c) Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts

Accounts receivable other than fees from contribution of member countries are presented at their net realizable value. A policy of the Institute is not to create an estimate for doubtful accounts because there have never been punishments for this.

contributions from member countries. These are recorded the minute they are collected as

fee income for the year or for previous years in the statement of activities. The fees to be

collected during that year and previous years are detailed on Attachment 1.

from the fees paid by member countries. The fee scale is established every four years by the

General Assembly of the Institute. The fees are recorded the minute each one of the
