INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REVIEW REPORT
Board of Directors The International Marcé Society Nashville, Tennessee
We have reviewed the accompanying financial statements of The International Marcé Society (a nonprofit organization), which comprise the statement of financial position as of March 31, 2025, and the related statements of activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. A review includes primarily applying analytical procedures to management’s financial data and making inquiries of entity management. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Accountant’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to conduct the review engagement in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services promulgated by the Accounting and Review Services Committee of the AICPA. Those standards require us to perform procedures to obtain limited assurance as a basis for reporting whether we are aware of any material modifications that should be made to the financial statements for them to be in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We believe that the results of our procedures provide a reasonable basis for our conclusion.
We are required to be independent of The International Marcé Society and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements related to our review.

THE INTERNATIONAL MARCE SOCIETY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2025
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Purpose
The International Marcé Society (the "Society"), a nonprofit organization, was formed in 1980. The principal aim of the society is to promote, facilitate, and communicate about research into all aspects of the mental health of women, their infants, and their partners around the time of childbirth. This involves a broad range of research activities.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Financial statement presentation follows the requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic related to Presentation of Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit Organizations. Under the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, The Society is required to report information regarding its financial position and activities according to two classes of net assets; net assets without donor restrictions and net assets with donor restrictions.

This classification also includes net assets subject to donorimposed stipulations that may be maintained permanently by The Society. Generally, donors of these assets permit the The Society to use all or part of the income earned for general or specific purposes. The Society had no net assets with donor restrictions as of March 31, 2025.
The Society accounts for contributions in accordance with the requirements of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification Revenue Recognition Topic. In accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, contributions received are recorded as unrestricted, temporarily restricted, or permanently restricted support, depending on the existence or nature of any donor restrictions.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are reported at their estimated collectible amounts. They are periodically evaluated for collectability based on management’s assessment of each account. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through recognition of bad debt expense. When management confirms the uncollectibility of an account receivable, such amount is charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. No allowance for doubtful accounts was recorded at March 31, 2025.
Prepaid Expenses
Prepaid expenses consists of meeting expenses and deposits which are paid in advance.
Investments
The Society accounts for investments in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification topic relating to Accounting for Certain Investments Held by Not-for-Profit Organizations. Under FASB Accounting Standards Codification, investments in marketable securities with readily determinable fair values and all investments in debt securities are valued at their fair market values in the statement of financial position. Investment income is included in the statement of activities.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from contracts is recognized over time or at a point in time, depending on the nature of the performance obligations.
Membership Dues The Society offers memberships for a one‐year term. The Society satisfies its performance obligation and recognizes revenue evenly over the membership term as its members simultaneously receive and consume the benefits over that timeframe.
Registrations The Society recognizes registrations for their biennial meeting at a point it time, being the time the meeting takes place.

3. FAIR VALUE OF INVESTMENTS (CONTINUED)
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic related to Fair Value Measurements establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels: Level 1 inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and have the highest priority, Level 2 inputs consist of observable inputs other than quoted prices for identical assets, and Level 3 inputs have the lowest priority. The Board uses the appropriate valuation techniques based on the available inputs to measure the fair value of its investments. Level 3 inputs were only used when Level 1 or Level 2 inputs were not available.
Level 2 Fair Value Measurements - The fair value of the investments are based on inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for the asset, either directly, or indirectly.
Level 3 Fair Value Measurements - The fair value of the investments are based on at least one significant unobservable input.
4. DEFERRED REVENUE
