Explanation	AQHA IS QUALIFIED UNDER SECTION 501 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE (IRC); THEREFORE, THE MAJORITY OF ITS INCOME IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAX UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 501(C)(5). INCOME FROM CERTAIN OPERATIONS OF AQHA, PRIMARILY ADVERTISING IN ITS PUBLICATIONS, IS TAXABLE FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES. FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015 AND 2014, AQHA DID NOT INCUR ANY FEDERAL INCOME TAX EXPENSE. ALL OTHER OPERATIONS OF AQHA ARE EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAX. AQHF CLAIMS EXEMPTION FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE IRC AND IS RECOGNIZED AS A PUBLIC CHARITY UNDER SECTION 509(A)(3) OF THE IRC. AQHA'S WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY RGP WAS CONVERTED TO A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY ON JUNE 3, 2014, AND IS THEREFORE CONSIDERED A DISREGARDED ENTITY FOR TAX PURPOSES AS SEPTEMBER 30, 2015 AND NOT SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL TAX FILINGS PER THE IRC.

TAX POSITIONS NOT DEEMED TO MEET THE MORELIKELYTHANNOT THRESHOLD WOULD BE RECORDED AS A TAX BENEFIT OR EXPENSE AND LIABILITY IN THE CURRENT YEAR. MANAGEMENT HAS DETERMINED THAT THERE ARE NO MATERIAL UNCERTAIN INCOME TAX POSITIONS.	ExplanationTxt

Explanation	AFFILIATE PROGRAM - AQHA HAS PARTNERSHIPS WITH LIKE-MINDED GRASSROOTS AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE ASSOCIATIONS TO HELP PROMOTE THE BENEFITS OF AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE INVOLVEMENT. THERE ARE 83 STATE/PROVINCIAL AQHA AFFILIATES REPRESENTING ALL FIFTY STATES AND SEVEN PROVINCES. IF AN ASSOCIATION HANDLES BOTH THE RACE AND SHOW SEGMENTS OF OUR INDUSTRY, THEN AQHA HAS ONLY ONE AFFILIATE IN THAT STATE OR PROVINCE. IN THE CASE WHERE THOSE SEGMENTS ARE REPRESENTED BY THEIR OWN ENTITY, THEN AQHA COULD HAVE TWO AFFILIATES IN THAT LOCATION. THE AFFILIATE/AQHA PARTNERSHIP WILL UNITE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE OWNERS, DEVELOP AND PROVIDE BENEFICIAL SERVICES FOR ALL HORSE OWNERS THAT ENHANCE AND ENCOURAGE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE OWNERSHIP AND PARTICIPATION. THE AFFILIATE/AQHA PARTNERSHIP WILL GENERATE GROWTH OF AFFILIATE MEMBERSHIP VIA THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, RECOGNITION, MONITORING PUBLIC POLICY, MARKETING, PROMOTION, AND PUBLICITY OF THE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE. THE AFFILIATE/AQHA PARTNERSHIP WILL BE THE EFFECTIVE INDUSTRY VOICE SERVING ALL AQHA MEMBERS AND HORSE OWNERS AT THE LOCAL LEVEL WITH DIVERSE PROGRAMS THAT PROMOTE THE AMERICAN QUARTER HORSE.
