No provision has been made for income taxes in the accompanying combined financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, as Prevent Blindness has had no significant unrelated business income. Prevent Blindness application of U.S. GAAP regarding uncertain tax positions had no effect on its financial position as management believes they have no material unrecognized income tax benefits, including any potential risk of loss of its not-for-profit tax status. Prevent Blindness would account for any potential interest or penalties related to possible future liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits as income tax expense.
