Financial Statement Notes

Part V, Line 4:

“FUNDS HELD IN ENDOWMENT ARE BOARD-RESTRICTED FUNDS TO SUPPORT THE MISSION OF The Lighthouse For the Blind, Incorporated. ADDITIONALLY, The Seattle Lighthouse for the blind FOUNDATION HOLDS ENDOWMENT FUNDS USED PRIMARILY IN SUPPORT OF The Lighthouse For the Blind, Incorporated's MISSION.”

Part X, Line 2:

“The organization is exempt from federal income tax as an entity described in internal revenue code (irc) section 501(c)(3) except to the extent of unrelated business taxable income as defined under the provisions of irc sections 511 through 515. The organization did not incur material unrelated business income tax for the years ended september 30, 2017 and 2016. In addition, the organization qualified for the charitable contribution deduction under section 170(b)(1)(a) and has been classified as an organization other than a private foundation under section 509(a). Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income tax in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The organization follows the provisions of authoritative guidance relating to accounting for uncertain tax positions. The organization recognizes the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on examination by the tax authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit is measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The organization recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of september 30, 2017 and 2016, the organization had no uncertain tax positions requiring accrual. The organization files an exempt organization return in the u.s. Federal jurisdiction.”
