Return Reference	Explanation
Part IV, Line 1b:	ASA and anesthesia Quality Institute (AQI), a related organization have negotiated an arrangement under which the funds of AQI will be invested with the funds of ASA and under which ASA will provide the funds to AQI upon request. ASA AND AQI AGREE TO HAVE FUNDS FROM THEIR RESPECTIVE FUNDS INVESTED BY, AND TO CONFER INVESTMENT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR FUNDS ON, THE INVESTMENT MANAGER(S) SELECTED BY ASA WITH ASA AS AGENT FOR THE INVESTMENT MANAGER. ASA AND AQI AGREE THAT THE INVESTMENT MANAGER(S) SHALL ASSUME THE MANAGEMENT OF, AND INVESTMENT RESPONSIBILITY FOR, THE FUNDS OF ASA AND AQI THAT ARE HELD AND INVESTED, AND PROVIDING THE INFORMATION THAT WILL BE THE BASIS FOR DISCLOSURE MATERIALS. THE INVESTMENT MANAGER'S PERFORMANCE SHALL BE OVERSEEN BY ASA, WHICH SHALL FROM TIME TO TIME DESIGNATE, AND MAY AT ANY TIME TERMINATE THE DESIGNATION OF, INVESTMENT MANAGERS OF THE COMMONLY INVESTED FUNDS. FROM TIME TO TIME, ASA SHALL REVIEW INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE, OBJECTIVES, GOALS AND FUND MANAGEMENT.
Part X, Line 2:	Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Society and recognize a tax liability if the Society has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS or other applicable taxing authorities. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Society and has concluded that as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. The Society is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; the IRS is in the process of auditing ASA 2011 Forms 990 and 990-T and, as of the report date, it has not concluded its audit. Management does not expect to make any adjustments. In addition, management believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2012.
