Intended Use of the Organizations Endowment Funds The intended use of Allegheny Singer Research Institute's permanent and term endowments are for, but not exclusive to: capital improvements, research, education, departmental needs, operating efficiencies, and overall patient care. The earnings off of the permanent amount are expendable, based on the specific use of the fund.
ASRI Inclusion In The Consolidated Audit Of WPAHS Allegheny Singer Research Institute (ASRI) does not issue independent audited financial statements. ASRI is a member of a regional healthcare system named Allegheny Health Network. The Allegheny Health Network in conjunction with its parent organization, Highmark Health receives a consolidated audit which includes the operations of ASRI. The following analysis represents the reconciliation between the financial statement net income and the net income as reported on Form 990, Page 1, line 19: Net loss per financial statements $ (5,017,726) Less: Income and expense reclassified from restricted net assets on the financial statements to unrestricted income and expense on Form 990 674,558 ___________ Net income per Form 990 $ (4,343,168) Highmark Health records uncertain tax positions in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by defining criteria that a tax position on an individual matter must meet before that position is recognized. ASC 740 also provides guidance on measurement, classification, interest and penalties, disclosure and accounting in interim periods. The following is the footnote to the audited consolidated financial statements of Highmark Health for FASB ASC 740: At December 31, 2014 and 2013, gross unrecognized tax benefits (excluding the federal benefit received from state positions) were $150,575,000 and 147,685,000, respectively, and, if recognized, would have impacted the effective tax rate.

This transition caused the short year period July 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013. Prior period balances on the calender year 2014 Form 990 are not reflective of a full twelve month period. INRODUCTION TO ALLEGHENY SINGER RESEARCH INSTITUTE (ASRI) ASRI is part of the Allegheny Health Network by virtue of being affiliated with the West Penn Allegheny Health System (WPAHS). Organized in 2000, WPAHS (www.wpahs.org) is comprised of West Penn Allegheny Health System, Inc. (WPAHS, Inc.), Alle-Kiski Medical Center (AKMC), Canonsburg General Hospital (CGH), Allegheny Specialty Practice Network (ASPN), Allegheny Medical Practice Network (AMPN), West Penn Allegheny Oncology Network (WPAON), Canonsburg General Hospital Ambulance Service, Inc. (CGH Ambulance), Alle-Kiski Medical Center Trust (AKMC Trust), Forbes Health Foundation, (FHF) Suburban Health Foundation (SHF) and The Western Pennsylvania Hospital Foundation (WPHF). ASRI was established in 1977 as a Pennsylvania non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation and functions as the entity through which research at WPAHS, Inc. - Allegheny General Hospital (AGH), is conducted. Both ASRI and AGH are located in Pittsburgh, PA. ASRI has a distinguished history of pioneering biomedical research. Its leaders have recognized that through innovative research, ASRI can improve the quality of healthcare. Through its research efforts, ASRI has had a profound impact on many breakthroughs in innovative technology and research, including Pennsylvania's first heart-valve replacement and one of the first heart transplant procedures performed in the United States. This innovative environment continued with the performance of the nation's first bilateral ventricular assist, the first percutaneous automated discectomy, and the nation's first dynamic cardiomyoplasty (muscle flap procedure). ASRI was one of 10 U.S. medical centers to study drugs to reduce damage from spinal cord injuries. The ASRI Center for Genomic Sciences became the first in the world to map the gene for gastroesophageal reflux disease in children. ASRI is in a unique position to lead translational research that will improve patient care at a rapid pace. ASRI is focused on research that transfers innovation from the laboratory bench to the bedside so that patient care is advanced at a much more rapid pace than conventional research efforts. To accomplish this, ASRI has positioned its research culture uniquely at the midway point between an academic health center and the health-care industry, thus leveraging the strengths of both. MISSION, VISION & VALUES The vision for ASRI is to facilitate advancement of basic and clinical research. ASRI's mission is to sponsor superior programs in health, education, and research and to fully integrate medical education and biomedical research in its clinical settings in order to continuously improve the patient care rendered, while containing costs to the community. COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT ASRI provides its community benefit through the cutting-edge technology and research it develops. Results of this type of research are ultimately felt by the local community in which ASRI is located and is served by WPAHS. ASRI facilities are also home to a wide spectrum of biochemical, physiological and medical device research and development projects. With hundreds of active research projects in progress, the following represents a sample of the research and innovative solutions undertaken by ASRI: Stem Cell Transplantation - Cancer remains a formidable foe and kills more than 560,000 Americans each year. ASRI researchers test novel therapies that could save more lives and even lead to cures. Of all the newer therapies being developed, stem cell transplantation, using stem cells from a patient's own body (autologous stem cell transplant) or stem cells from a donor (allogeneic stem cell transplant), is allowing oncologists to improve survival rates for cancer patients. cells from a donor (allogeneic stem cell transplant), is allowing oncologists to improve survival rates for cancer patients.
Statement of Program Service Accomplishments - continued Sublingual Immunotherapy - Pediatric researchers at ASRI are involved in testing sublingual immunotherapy, a method of allergy treatment that uses an allergen solution under the tongue. The allergen interacts with the immune system and changes the body's ability to react to allergens. ASRI researchers test the effectiveness of an asthma medication in reducing the severity and length of the common cold, as well as testing a new vaccine that could prevent RSV, or the respiratory syncytial virus. Researchers test new medications for the treatment of allergy and asthma in both adults and children. The Positive Health Clinic - The Positive Health Clinic provides HIV education, prevention, testing and treatment to at-risk individuals. During 2014 the Clinic, provided on-going HIV medical care to HIV positive persons. All services were provided regardless of their ability to pay. The Clinic provides a holistic, harm reduction, approach to HIV education, prevention and care, often providing services that are not covered by insurance such as transportation to appointments, social services, mental health therapy and psychiatric care, housing assistance, etc. ASRI receives federal funding for its HIV patient screening and care initiatives through the Ryan White Program. The Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Act (Ryan White CARE Act, Ryan White, Pub.L. 101-381, 104 Stat. 576, enacted August 18, 1990) is the United States' largest federally funded program for people living with HIV/AIDS. The act sought funding to improve availability of care for low-income, uninsured and under-insured victims of AIDS and their families. It funds heavily impacted metropolitan areas, states, and local community-based organizations to provide life-saving medical care, medications, and support services to more than half a million people each year. FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS ASRI supports the community through cash contributions made at the discretion of the entity, benefiting not only the non-profit recipient but ultimately the community as a whole. ASRI made the following cash contributions during 2014 totaling $64,100: National Multiple Sclerosis Society Project Hope of Beaver County Open Door, Inc.

Monitoring and Enforcement of the Conflict of Interest Policy Allegheny Singer Research Institute (ASRI) is a member of the Allegheny Health Network by virtue of being affiliated with West Penn Allegheny Health System (WPAHS). WPAHS has a corporate compliance department that monitors and oversees compliance with the conflict of interest policy of all organizations in the health system. The following describes the manner in which the corporate compliance department monitors and oversees compliance with the conflict of interest policy for ASRI as well as the other WPAHS affiliates: Conflict of Interest disclosure forms are completed on an annual basis by all board members, officers, employees who have a title of Manager and above, physicians in leadership roles, Pharmacy and Therapeutic Committee members, all employees of the WPAHS Compliance and Internal Audit Departments as well as personnel involved with contracting in the Corporate Purchasing Department. Upon completion of the above disclosure statement by all applicable individuals, a report is generated listing all individuals that have reported a conflict. The WPAHS Compliance Officer and General Counsel review the conflicts disclosed. Those that require additional information or clarification receive a letter from the Compliance Officer requesting such. Once received, all additional information is added to the report and again reviewed by the Compliance Officer and General Counsel. Those conflicts that require a mitigation plan are sent to the respective organization's senior management for development of the mitigation plan. The organization's senior management is responsible to discuss the mitigation plan with the individual as needed and monitor compliance with the mitigation plan. Once mitigation is received, a final report is reviewed by System Executive Compliance Council with the Legal Department and by the Allegheny Health Network Audit and Compliance Subcommittee of the Board, as well as by the board of directors. Allegheny Health Network Audit and Compliance Subcommittee of the Board, as well as by the board of directors.
Process Used To Determine Executive Compensation The top management official and officers of ASRI are employed by AHN. Stated below is the executive compensation policy that cover the top management official and officers of ASRI: The Allegheny Health Network (AHN) process for determining compensation for executive positions (including officers, key employees and other management positions) is covered by the HH Executive Compensation Policy. This policy was approved by the HH Board of Directors. It is the policy of HH and its Board of Directors to compensate its executives in accordance with the market and in relation to the experience, service and accomplishments of the individual both prior to and during their service with HH. The Personnel and Compensation Committee makes recommendations to the HH Board of Directors who ultimately approve the compensation for the President and CEO of AHN and all senior executives who report directly to the President and CEO of AHN. All other AHN senior executives' compensation is approved by the HH CEO and HH CHRO. Compensation includes all compensation components, including without limitation, base compensation, incentive compensation, deferred compensation, fringe and other benefits. The Board of Directors also approve all base compensation adjustments and all incentive compensation awards, as well as material changes to deferred compensation, fringe, or other benefits. The Personnel & Compensation Committee uses comparability data provided by an independent compensation consultant. The external consultant provides a letter of reasonability for all offers made to new executives that report to the AHN CEO. Each Board of Director member voting on a senior executive's compensation arrangement ensures that he or she has no conflict of interest, including that he or she (a) does not economically benefit from the proposed employment; (b) does not receive compensation subject to the approval of the proposed employee; and (c) has no material financial interest affected by the transaction. Allegheny Health Network follows the requirement in the regulations to comply with the rebuttable presumption of the reasonableness of compensation.
Public Availability of Organization Documents Allegheny Singer Research Institute (ASRI) does not make its governing documents available to the public. Highmark Health (HH) financial statements are on a consolidated basis which include Allegheny Singer Research Institute. The audited financial statements of HH are available upon the request and approval by the CFO of Highmark Health. WPAHS has adopted a conflict of interest policy that is uniformly applied to all organizations of the health system, including ASRI. This is not available to the public.
Officer, Director and Key Employee Hour Allocation Allegheny Singer Research Institute (ASRI) is a member of the Allegheny Health Network by virtue of being affiliated with West Penn Allegheny Health System (WPAHS). Individuals employed by one organization may be assigned to provide management for an affiliated organization.
