Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made. BARCS follows the provisions of Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes under the Income Taxes Topic of the Codification. The Codification requires the evaluation of tax positions, which includes maintaining its tax-exempt status and the taxability of any unrelated business income, and does not allow recognition of tax positions which do not meet a more-likely-than-not threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Management does not believe it has taken any tax positions that would not meet this threshold. BARCSs income tax returns are subject to possible federal examination, generally for three years after they are filed Part XI, Line 2d: Other revenue amounts included in F/S but not included on form 990 COST OF GOODS SOLD $30334 Part XII, Line 2d: Other expenses and losses per audited F/S COST OF GOODS SOLD $30334 false BARCSfest 102756 102756 18699 BARCSFEST 5K RUN 32288 32288 4 69684 69684 29129 204728 204728 47828 47828 156900 X X X X false false false false false false false false false JENNIFER BRAUSE CEO 173952 5200 179152 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b THE BOARD'S FINANCE COMMITTEE REVIEWS AND EDITS THE 990 FORM.
