Liability for uncertain tax position : Fin 48 (ASC 740)	Part X The Lighthouse follows guidance that clarifies the acocunting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including the issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. This guidance provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can only be recognized in the financial statements if the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. The lighthouse is exempt from income tax under IRC section 501(c)(3), though it is subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purpose, unless that income is otherwise excluded by the Code. The Lighthouse has processess presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; to determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and to identify and evaluate other matters that maybe be considered tax positions. The tax years ended December 31, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 are still open to audit for both federal and state purposes. the Lighthouse has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that require recognition or disclosure in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Form And Line Reference	Schedule G, Part II	FormAndLineReferenceDesc
Explanation	Lighthouse International is dedicated to fighting vision loss through prevention, treatment and empowerment. Essential to Lighthouse's mission is its ongoing fundraising efforts that enable it to provide services to the community in support of our mission. To that end, Lighthouse is reporting, for 990 purposes, an amount as "services rendered" that equals the expense of conducting the event since it is reasonable to project that the costs of holding each event were passed through to the attendees. For 990 reporting purposes, the Lighthouse has opted to report its special events consistent with how they are presented in the financial statements. The amounts reported on Schedule G and Part VIII, Line 8 tie back directly to Special Events revenue as reported in the financial statements. The $680,602 in special event expenses, likewise, ties back to the financial statements and represents direct special event expenses. The Lighthouse does incur indirect and overhead expenses on its special events, but those expenses have been reported on Part IX, Functional Expenses, rather than on Part VIII (again, so that the 990 ties back to the financial statements).
