Business Editors

NEW BERLIN, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)----
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.
