PRESS RELEASE
International Monetary Systems to Acquire Alliance Barter, Inc.
New Berlin, Wis. - November 22, 2006 -- International Monetary Systems, Ltd.
(OTCBB:INLM), a worldwide leader in business-to-business barter services, today
announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Alliance Barter, Inc.
(ABI), one of America's leading trade exchanges. ABI has offices in Rochester,
NY and Toronto, Canada, and also serves clients in Buffalo and Syracuse, NY.
Commenting on the transaction, Don Mardak, CEO of International Monetary
Systems, stated: "This is another wonderful addition to our growing family of
trade exchanges. Steve Webster, founder and owner of Alliance Barter, has been
a long-time leader in the barter industry. He is a member of the Barter Hall of
Fame and is the only person who has been president of both NATE and IRTA, the
two industry associations. Steve will stay involved with our company for the
transition and, hopefully, will continue to share his wisdom and leadership in
the future.
"Alliance Barter has one of the strongest trade-dollar currencies in North
America and will bring a wealth of new products and services into the IMS
barter network. This merger of our two fine companies will enhance our
dominance of the barter industry and will open the door to expanding our market
into Canada. We expect to conclude this transaction in January which, combined
with our recent acquisition of National Trade Association, should have a
significant positive impact on our revenue for 2007".
International Monetary Systems, Ltd. recently announced record trade volume,
revenue, and new-client enrollments for October.
