INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT

Mr. Rigoberto Magaña Chavarria President of the Pan American Institute of Geography and History

Present

We have revised the attached financial statements of the Pan American Institute of Geography and History that include the

statement of financial position at December 31, 2014 and 2013, the statement of activities and the statement of changes in equity

corresponding to the accounting periods terminated on those dates as well as a summary of the significant accounting policies and

other explanatory information.

Responsibility of the administration concerning the financial statements

The administration is responsible for the reasonable elaboration and submission of the attached financial statements in

accordance with the Financial Information Standards issued by the Mexican Council of Financial Information Standards, and with

the internal control that the administration deemed necessary to elaborate the financial statements free of material incorrectness

due to fraud or error.

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility consists of giving an opinion about the attached financial statements based in our audit process. Our verification

was carried out according to the International Audit Standards. Such standards demand that we comply with the ethical

requirements and that the audit is planned and carried out in such a way that it enables to be reasonably sure that the financial

statements are free of material incorrectness.

An audit process implies applying procedures to obtain audit evidence concerning the amounts and the information disclosed in

• the financial statements. The selected procedures depend on the auditor's judgment, including the evaluation of the risks of

material incorrectness in the financial statements due to fraud or error. Upon appraising the risks, the auditor takes into account

the relevant internal control for the reasonable elaboration and submission, by the Pan American Institute of Geography and

History, of the financial statements, in order to design the adequate audit procedures according to the circumstances, and not with

the purpose of giving an opinion about how efficient the internal control of the Institute is.

An audit process also includes evaluating the adequacy of the applied accounting policies and of the reasonableness of the

accounting estimates carried out by the administration, as well as evaluating the financial statements as a whole.

We consider that the evidence of the audit process that we have obtained in our revision provides enough and adequate basis for

giving an opinion.

PAN AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF GEOGRAPHY AND HISTORY (PAIGH) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF

DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013 (AMERICAN DOLLARS)

NOTE 1. HISTORY AND PURPOSES

PAIGH was created on February 7, 1928 at the VI American Conference carried out 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 representation of the Mexican government, the seat was established in Mexico City, where the then President of the Mexican Republic, Pascual Ortiz Rubio, by means of a Decree dated May 3, 1930, put the building located at 29 Arzobispado street, Observatorio neighborhood, under the disposal of the American Nations. In 1949 one year after subscribing the letter of the Organization of the American States at the Bogota Conference PAIGH signed an agreement with the Council of the Organization of American States (OAS), by means of which it was turned into the first specialized international body. Such agreement was modified and signed in accordance, in Washington D.C. on May 6, 1974.

Since its foundation more than 80 years ago, the PAIGH has supported and contributed decisively in the development of science that correspond to its scope.

Connoted researchers and scientists, as well as high hierarchy authorities from the Member States have been important protagonists in the evolution of the institution since it was born.

Many years have passed, and notwithstanding this, the standing in force and the strategic importance of the Institute are kept and consolidated based in the recognition of its transcendental mission.

Purposes:

• To encourage, coordinate and publicize cartographical, geophysical, geographical and historical research as well as others that are science-related and of interest to the Americas.

• To promote and carry out research and training concerning these disciplines.

• To promote cooperation among organizations interested in these fields of activity in the Americas, and with related international organizations.

Legal Framework:

The sixth International American Conference resolved:

To create the Pan American Institute of Geography and History, that will serve as coordination, distribution and release of geographical and historical research at the American States.

2013-2017 Organic Statute, Bylaws and agreements

Headquarters Agreement with the Mexican Government

Financial Bylaws

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

* President * Vice-President Secretary General President of the Cartography Commission President of the Geography Commission President of the History Commission President of the Geophysics Commission

Rigoberto Magaña Chavarria Roberto Aguilar Falconi Rodrigo Barriga Vargas Carlos Lopez Vazquez Jean Parcher Patricia Galeana Herrera Walter Fernandez Rojas

El Salvador Ecuador Chile Uruguay USA Mexico Costa Rica

The election of the president took place at the 81st Authorities' Reunion in June, 2014 in Mexico City and the appointment of Vice President was at the 45th Reunion of the IPGH Board in Santiago de Chile in November, 2014.

NOTE 2. MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The criteria for the application of the special rules that the Direction of the Institute considered the most appropriate in its circumstances to present fairly the information contained in the attached financial statements are:

a) basis of presentation and disclosure of financial statements:

Monetary unit of the financial statements

The financial statements and their concerning notes at December 31st 2014 and 2013 include balances and transactions expressed in dollars. The accounting as well as the records and the financial statements issued, were carried out using the United States Dollar, (at the exchange rate of December 31, 2014: $14.7348 and 2013 $13.0652 Mexican Pesos per Dollar).

Recognizing the effects of inflation on financial information:

As of January 1st, 2008, the NIF B-10 "Effects of lnflation" entered into force. This establishes the rules for recognizing the effects of inflation on financial information based on the inflationary environment of the country. According to the guidelines of the NIF B-10, as long as inflation does noOt exceed 26% during the last three fiscal years, the effects of inflation on financial information shall not be applicable. Here we are presenting the percentages of accumulated inflation in the three previous fiscal years and the indexes used in order to recognize the inflation up to that date, published by the National Institute of Geography and Statistics.

At December 31st Adjustment Rate Inflation Of the year Accumulated (3 years)

2013 1.0397 3.97 11.80 2012 1.0356 3.57 12.26 2011 1.0381 3.82 12.26

Once the carrying value of the assets that correspond (base figure) has been defined, it is suggested to restate each one of the items that compose the assets pursuant to NIF B-10 "Effects of Inflation", provided that all the conditions of an inflationary economic environment are met.

b) Cash and temporary investments

This item is composed of legal tender in cash and deposits in checking accounts available for the operation, which are valued at

their nominal value. Investments are valued at realizable value.

c) Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts

The accounts receivable different from the ones that come from frees of member states are stated at realizable value. It is a policy of the Institute not to create an allowance for doubtful accounts due to the fact that there have never been punishments for this. The Institute does not record in the financial position statement the accounts receivable due to the contributions of the state members. These are recorded at the moment they are collected as income due to fees of the fiscal year or of previous fiscal years in the activity status. The contributions receivable of the corresponding fiscal year and from previous fiscal years are explained on

attachment 1.

d) Inventory

The inventory is represented by the raw material (paper) for the publications that are to be sold.

The inventory of the Bibliographic Fund Jose Toribio Medina, as well as of all the publications, due to a policy of the Institute, are

not recorded in the accounts.

Likewise, on note 4a) the composition of the aforementioned inventories is referred to.

The PAIGH publishes the following: Cartographic Journal, Geographic Journal, Geophysical Journal, American Historical Magazine, American Anthropology Newsletter, American Archaeology Newsletter, which are printed and distributed from Mexico.

The editorial production of the Institute besides includes diverse occasional publications (atlas, guides, handbooks, letters,

glossaries, etc.) that contribute to widen the intellectual heritage of the nations of the area. These occasional publications are currently more than 500 and the corresponding catalogue can be requested at the General Secretariat on a free basis.

e) Property and equipment

Currently, the Institute has a physical inventory of assets; however up to date, there is no accounting record (Note 6)

f) Estate

The estate is composed by the following Funds: a) Regular Fund b) Special Fund c) Reserve Fund d) Reserved Budget Fund e) Operational Fund

The detall of each one is explained on note 10 to the financial statements

Additionally, the Estate of the Institute is composed by the following items:

Bibliographical Fund Jose Toribio Medina of the PAIGH

Based on the writing issued by the Foreign Affairs Secretariat of the Mexican United States on March 20, 1997, on number 1, it can be read: "The Mexican Government, by means of the E.N.A.H. (Escuela Nacional de Antropologia e Historia) National School of Anthropology and History, shall carry out the administration of the Bibliographical Fund Jose Toribio Medina of the PAIGH",

which consists of:

a) Collections and library books

b) Collections and series magazines and Newspaper Library.

According to the gratuitous bailment contract entered into on August 30, 2002, by the authorities of the PAIGH, of the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), and the National School of Anthropology and History (ENAH), the ENAH received the Bibliographical Fund, so that it made an inventory, in order to completely safeguard it.

By means of this gratuitous bailment contract, it was gratuitously and indefinitely granted to use and administrate the bibliographic

fund Jose Toribio Medina of the PAIGH.

Later, there have been more deliveries, and on December 31, 2014, there is a total fund of 231,397 volumes, which are made up

of 193,055 periodical publications, 34,089 books, 4,594 special materials and 5 compact discs.

The gratuitous bailment delivery for this fund to be used and administrated is with the only purpose that the ENAH library is available to the public in general. Therefore, PAIGH is in charge of checking this precept is complied with and the bibliographic fund is maintained in good shape.

1

Within the working audit program of the accounting period, there was a visit to the facility of the National School of Anthropology and History, in order to directly verify the control and use that is been given to the bibliographic common property.

Towards this concern, it was verified that such bibliographic common property is suitably located, in special facilities, designed for

its control and use; that the different volumes are available for the people who require them.

It is also mentioned that at the ENAH facilities there is no maintenance to keep the books and the bibliographic heritage in good shape, taking steps, that is, to finish with the project that consists of placing motion-sensor lamps, providing more safety to the place and to the people working there by installing an emergency exit in the event of earthquake or fire, it is worth mentioning that

there are fire alarms in case of emergency inside the facilities.

All these measures are necessary and important for safeguarding the Bibliographic Fund of the PAIGH.

Upon closing the 2014 accounting period, the estimated value of this common property was still unknown. Therefore a determined value has not been included in the accounting records as parts of the estate of the Institute.

Reserve Fund

As it can be seen on Article 42 of the Financial Bylaws of the PAIGH, "The Reserve Fund is constituted to confront any severance

payments that may have to be made to the Staff of the General Secretariat who no longer work at the Institute. The total of this fund shall be determined by the approximate sum of these payments".

On December 31, 2014, the total amount of the reserve fund for this concept was of $28,578 US dollars. ($26,836 US dollars in

2013).

Severance

According to the Federal Labor Law the PAIGH is responsible of for payment of compensation to workers unfairly dismissed.

Seniority bonus

According to the Federal Labor Law, personnel of the PAIGH who have been working 15 years or more, upon their retirement, are entitled to a bonus that equals 12 working days for each year of service. (Such salary shall not exceed two times the general

minimum salary of the area standing in force on the day he/she retires).

The workers who are unfairly dismissed, or who die, are entitled to the seniority bonus, determined as of the number of years they

have worked for the PAIGH, even when they had worked less than the fifteen years stipulated by law.

The PAIGH has stipulated the policy that consists of considering the severance pay and the seniority bonus as normal expenditure

of the accounting period when these events happen.

During the 2011 period the creation of the fund was decided for $4,900 dollars. At December 31, 2012, the balance of the account adds up to $16,800 US dollars, in 2013 $7,076 US dollars, and in 2014 the final balance is $16,076 dollars.

g) Income from fees

The PAIGH is a nonprofit agency which is held by the fees paid by the Member States. The fee scale is established every four years by the General Assembly of the PAIGH. These are recorded as the member countries contribute with their fees which are approved by the Member States at the General Assembly of the PAIGH.

Having as members the following countries:

• Argentina •Honduras • Belize •Mexico • Bolivia • Nicaragua • Brazil • Panama • Chile •Paraguay • Colombia •Peru • Costa Rica •Dominican Republic • Ecuador •Uruguay •El Salvador •Venezuela • United States of America • Haiti • Guatemala
