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, 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:

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

10 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: $ pesos for a dollar, and 2014: $ ) 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.
