International Monetary's Rating Raised to 'Strong Buy/5' and Target Valuation Increased to $1.31 by Investrend Analyst Vassalotti in 'Institutional' Research Update

New York, January 04, 2007 -- In a report dated December 26, 2006, Investrend analyst Gary Vassalotti cites November's record volume as a potentially offsetting factor against a weaker 3rd quarter in '06 for International Monetary Systems, Ltd. (OTCBB: INLM), applying a higher "Strong Buy/ 5" rating and increased $1.31 target valuation in his most recent research update.

The full report, including important disclosures and disclaimers, is available at http://www.investrendresearch.com. In the report, the analyst also stated:

"INLM had a weak third quarter, but we believe this is a temporary event and that recent acquisitions will more than make up for it during the upcoming year.

"During the prior quarter, INLM completed two acquisitions during March, one in April, and one in June.

"The third quarter included one acquisition on September 29th for the National Trade Association, Inc (d.b.a. Illinois Trade Association) for $4,600,000 in cash. Notes, and private investments were used to raise funds needed for this acquisition.

"We believe that the weak numbers from the third quarter are a one-time event. Given the accretive acquisitions recently completed by INLM, and its growing focus on growing the business through increased sales force activity, we expect the company to quickly be back on the growth track. INLM is concentrating on growing the business over managing EPS numbers. That is a crucial focus for a company in this stage of development.

"Since INLM is now trading near or above $1.00 and enjoys a confident investor base, we are raising our recommendation and price targets."
