“This return is being amended to include information previously omitted from the original audit report. In may 2014, the greater shreveport chamber of commerce requested that its programs under the titles of shreveport-bossier military affairs council, celebrate barksdale, and barksdale air show be allowed to use the taxpayer identification number of barksdale forward, inc. Barksdale forward, inc.'s board of directors approved this request in august 2014. At the time, the parties were unaware that the programs' usage of barksdale forward, inc.'s taxpayer identification number would in fact, cause the de facto merger of the entities into barksdale forward, inc. The 2014 tax return has also been amended, so any prior year amounts shown on this amended return are from the 2014 amended return. The changes affected all of the following ares of the form 990: form 990 part i: all of the current year revenue and expense amounts changed. Form 990 part iii: the two programs taken over in may 2014 were added to part iii.
