Gross Income up 54% over last year

New Berlin, Wis., September 26, 2005 -- International Monetary Systems, Ltd. (OTC BB: INLM), a worldwide leader in business-to-business barter services, today announced that its gross income for August shattered all previous monthly records. IMS processed nearly $5 million worth of trades, which produced revenue of $605,000. This represents an increase of 54% over the same period in 2004.

During the past five months, IMS has completed five acquisitions: Barter Business Unlimited of Hartford, CT; International Barter Network of New York, NY; United Trade Network of Las Vegas, NV and Los Angeles, CA; United Trade Network of Reno, NV and Eagle Barter Exchange of Chattanooga, TN. IMS now services clients in 32 markets across the United States, with plans on entering additional markets in the coming months.

Don Mardak, IMS President and CEO, commented: "More and more businesses are utilizing our cashless trade network to sell their inventories of products, services and time. Our revenue and profit increases are a superb testament to the success of our growth-through-acquisition strategy. We have now completed the integration of our last five acquisitions into our barter network. These acquisitions added 3,000 clients, 20 employees, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in free cash flow to IMS. Each customer added to our network represents multiple revenue streams to the company. The race to 10,000 clients continues, as this is a powerful benchmark in our industry."
