New Berlin, Wis., April 28, 2005 -- International Monetary Systems, Ltd. (OTC BB: INLM), a worldwide leader in business-to-business barter services, today offered guidance on its projected results for calendar 2005. Because of its recent acquisitions, along with several more that are in negotiations, the company expects to increase its volume of barter transactions from $37 million in 2004 to $48 million in 2005. Those amounts reflect sales only, just one side of the transactions. This level of trade volume should result in gross revenue of approximately $6 million for 2005, an increase of 28% over the 2004 total of $4.7 million. The company also expects to see a comparable increase in profitability.
