INTERNATIONAL MONETARY SYSTEMS, LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
June 30, 2011
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2011.
The Company's 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed on March 11, 2011, should be read in conjunction with this report.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements for 2011 and 2010 include the accounts of the International Monetary Systems, Ltd. (“IMS” or “the Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries Continental Trade Exchange, Ltd., National Trade Association, Inc., INLM CN Inc. and INLM Holdings, Inc. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Sources and Cost of Revenue
The Company and its subsidiaries earn revenues in both traditional cash dollars and in IMS trade dollars.
Cash income is earned through fees assessed when a member joins, transaction fees generated when clients earn or spend their trade dollars, monthly maintenance fees, finance charges on delinquent accounts receivable, and event fees.
Trade revenue is similarly generated through initial membership fees, monthly maintenance fees, transaction fees and event fees. Occasionally the Company will accept a favorable trade ratio in lieu of a cash fee. The Company uses earned trade dollars to purchase various goods and services required in its operations. All barter transactions are reported at the estimated fair value of the products or services received. Revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
Transaction fees are recognized upon receipt of transactional information accumulated by our systems or reported by our clients. Membership fees, monthly maintenance fees, finance charges, and other fees are billed monthly to members' accounts, and are recognized in the month the revenue is earned.
Occasionally, the Company sells IMS trade dollars for US dollars. The cash received in these sales is included in gross revenue and the carrying value of the trade dollars up to the value of the cash received is netted against revenue, with any excess cost included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management does not anticipate that the recently issued but not yet effective accounting pronouncements will materially impact the Company’s financial condition.

Return to Shareholders
|
|
|
Management and the board of directors feel that the stock of the Company is significantly undervalued and presents an attractive opportunity to reinvest. In the first six months of 2011, the following steps were taken to position the Company to take advantage of this opportunity:
|
|
|

CURRENT QUARTER
During the quarter ended June 30, 2011 International Monetary Systems (“IMS” or “the Company) generated revenues of $3,333,139, a decrease of $304,894 or 8%, compared to the second quarter of 2010. This decrease is almost entirely due to a large non-recurring transaction in our media/corporate barter division which provided approximately $298,000 in trade dollar revenue in 2010.
Operating expenses in the quarter were $3,150,727, a decrease of $50,544 or 1.6% compared to the second quarter of 2010. This decrease is primarily due to decreased occupancy, professional fees, and investor relations costs. The savings in these areas are partially offset by an increase in employee costs, resulting from higher health insurance costs, higher state unemployment rates, and continued investment in our tele-selling marketing model.
The net operating income was $182,412 for the quarter, compared to net operating income of $436,762 in the second quarter of 2010. After adjusting for interest and income taxes, there was net income for the current period of $77,196 compared to net income of $222,717 in the second quarter of 2010.

YEAR TO DATE
During the six months ended June 30, 2011 IMS generated revenues of $6,311,981, a decrease of $545,784 or 7.9%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease is primarily due to a large non-recurring 2010 transaction in our media/corporate barter division.
Operating expenses were $6,351,906, a decrease of $328,301 or 4.9%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. This decrease is primarily due to decreased occupancy, professional fees, and investor relations costs, partially offset by higher employee costs arising from higher health insurance and unemployment insurance costs as well as continued investment in our tele-selling model.
The net operating loss was $(39,925) for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to a net operating profit of $177,558 in the same period of 2010. After adjusting for interest and income taxes, there was a net loss for the first six months of 2011, of $(107,359) compared to a net loss of $(98,045) in the first six months of 2010. The difference is primarily related to the large non- recurring transaction described above.
Cash flow from operations improved from $183,410 in the first six months of 2010 to $567,946 in the first six months of 2011, an increase of 210%. This is primarily due to increased utilization of trade dollars earned.
EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were as follows:

LIQUIDITY, SOURCES OF CAPITAL AND LINES OF CREDIT
On June 30, 2011, there was a working capital surplus of $21,992.
The Company’s Chicago office was moved in January 2011 resulting in a cash flow savings of approximately $20,000 per month.
We believe that current cash needs can be met with the current cash balance and from working capital generated over the next 12 months. Additionally, the Company has letters of credit with various financial institutions with unused borrowing capacity totaling approximately $450,000 which may be drawn as needed.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's applications of accounting policies. Critical accounting policies for IMS include the following:
11
REVENUE SOURCES AND REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company and its subsidiaries earn revenues in both traditional cash dollars and in IMS trade dollars. Cash income is earned through fees assessed when a member joins, transaction fees generated when clients earn or spend their trade dollars, monthly maintenance fees, finance charges on delinquent accounts receivable, and event fees.
Trade revenue is similarly generated through initial membership fees, monthly maintenance fees, transaction fees and event fees. Occasionally the Company will accept a favorable trade ratio in lieu of a cash fee. The Company uses earned trade dollars to purchase various goods and services required in its operations. All barter transactions are reported at the estimated fair value of the products or services received. Revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
Transaction fees are recognized upon receipt of transactional information accumulated by our systems or reported by our clients. Membership fees, monthly maintenance fees, finance charges, and other fees are billed monthly to members' accounts, and are recognized in the month the revenue is earned.
RECEIVABLES AND ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
Accounts receivable are stated at face value, net of the allowance for bad debts. Finance charges on receivables are calculated using the simple interest method on the amount outstanding.
The allowance for bad debts is maintained at a level that is management's best estimate of probable bad debts incurred as of the balance sheet date. Management's determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on an evaluation of the accounts receivable, past collection experience, current economic conditions, volume, growth and composition of the accounts receivable, and other relevant factors. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The allowance is increased by provisions for bad debts charged against income.
GOODWILL AND MEMBERSHIP LISTS
Goodwill and membership lists are stated at cost and arise when IMS acquires another company. Membership lists are amortized over the estimated life of ten years.
In 2002 the Company adopted FASB ASC 350, relative to goodwill and other intangibles, which requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives be tested annually for impairment. It is the Company’s policy to test impairment at the end of each year. Therefore, no impairment of goodwill or membership lists was recorded in the first six months of 2011.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740. Under ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Management does not anticipate that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements will materially impact the Company’s financial condition.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements or other relationships with unconsolidated entities.
ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not required by Smaller Reporting Companies.
ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Members of our management, including John E Strabley, our Chief Executive Officer, and David A. Powell, our Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of June 30, 2011, the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, Mr. Strabley and Mr. Powell concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
12
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The management of International Monetary Systems, Ltd. (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal controls over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2011. Based on management’s assessment and those criteria, management believes that the internal controls over financial reporting, including disclosure controls and procedures, as of June 30, 2011, were effective.
Changes in Internal Controls
In our Annual Report filed on March 11, 2011, we reported that management believed that the internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, was effective with regards to controls over financial reporting.
There were no changes (including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses) in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the current quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Part II. Other Information
Item 1 Legal Proceedings
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is occasionally involved in litigation, both as plaintiff and defendant. Management either litigates or settles claims after evaluating the merits of the actions and weighing the costs of settling vs. litigating.
In December, 2010, the Company agreed to a settlement in a lawsuit against the Company in Superior Court of California, filed by the former CFO. The settlement agreement required a lump sum payment of $100,000 in December, 2010 and monthly installment payments of $20,000 from February through December, 2011.
In March, 2011, the Company was notified of two separate complaints filed with the EEOC by two former employees, one alleges discrimination and one alleging retaliation. The Company feels that both complaints are without merit and intends to vigorously defend its interests.
There are no other material legal actions pending against the Company.
