International Monetary Systems Creates Corporate Barter Division

New Berlin, Wis., June 20, 2005 -- International Monetary Systems, Ltd. (OTC BB: INLM), a worldwide leader in business-to-business barter services, today announced that it is creating a corporate barter division. Unlike the retail barter network, which primarily works with small businesses and professional people, corporate bartering involves manufacturers, distributors, hotel chains and other larger companies, producing higher-valued transactions. In recent months, IMS has processed two transactions with major distributors totaling $700,000.

CEO Don Mardak commented: "Our CTE barter system is now one of the largest in the world, servicing 14,000 cardholders. Adding the dimension of corporate barter transactions is the next natural step. Because we now have such a substantial infrastructure in place, we are in a position to successfully distribute the products of these corporate clients through our network."
