| Return Reference | part ii-b | ReturnReference |
| Explanation | Lighthouse International engages in two methods of lobbying, which include grassroots and direct contact with legislators or their staff, government officials or a legislative body. Grassroots lobbying is accomplished by contacting the public through a legislative action website, www.lighthouse.org/advocacy, to urge them to contact their legislators or other governmental officials for the purposes of making them aware of issues relating to vision impairment. Direct contact with legislators or their staff, government officials, or a legislative body occurs through the engaging of two lobbyists (one on the federal level and one on the New York State level) as well as occasional visits to Washington D.C. and Albany, N.Y. by management and the clinical team. The amounts reported on Schedule C ($40,000) represent amounts that Lighthouse paid to a lobbyist to advocate on sight-related issues for Lighthouse International. | Explanation |

| Endowments | Part V | The organization's endowment is maintained by The Bank of New York Mellon for the purposes of funding future program services undertaken by the Lighthouse. The endowment may also be used to make future principal and interest payments on the organization's New York City Industrial Development Authority tax-exempt bonds. Historically, the lighthouse followed the disclosure provisions of, "Endowments of Not-for-Profit Organizations," as the State of New York had not yet enacted a version of the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional funds Act ("UPMIFA"). Among other things, this guidance addressed the net assets classification of donor restricted endowment funds for organizations subject to an enacted version of the 2006 UPMIFA. On September 17, 2010, New York State passed its own version of UPMIFA ("NYPMIFA") legislation, which was consequently applied to the Lighthouse's consolidated financial statements as of December 3, 2010. A key component of this legislation is a requirement to classify the remaining accumulations related to the donor-restricted endowment fund that were previously recorded as additions to unrestricted net assets as temporarily restricted net assets until those amounts are appropriated for expenditure by the Lighthouse Board of Directors in a manner consistent with the standard of prudence prescribed by NYPMIFA. As a result of the adoption of NYPMIFA, the Lighthouse reclassified $7,210,223 as of December 31, 2010 from unrestricted net assets to temporarily restricted assets, representing accumulated unspent earnings from donor-restricted endowment funds. |

| Liability for uncertain tax position : Fin 48 (ASC 740) | Part X | The Lighthouse follows the accounting guidance for uncertainties in income tax positions which require that a tax position be recognized or de-recognized based on a "more likely than not" threshold. This applies to positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Lighthouse does not believe its activities result in any uncertain tax positions. |

| 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 research vision disorders, as well as provide educational information to the community. Lighthouse independently tracks the revenue generated by its fundraising endeavors. All data is compiled for financial statement purposes on an aggregate basis, therefore Lighthouse is unable to determine precisely how much of the gross revenue generated from special events is derived from pure contributions and how much for services rendered. 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 $581,854 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). | Explanation |
