NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
March 31, 2013

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 month period ended March 31, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The Company's 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed on March 8, 2013, should be read in conjunction with this report.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements for 2013 and 2012 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 Revenue

Cash income is earned through fees assessed when a member joins, transaction fees generated when clients earn or spend their trade dollars, annual and monthly maintenance fees, finance charges on delinquent accounts receivable, and event fees.

Trade Dollar Revenue

Trade revenue is similarly generated through initial membership fees, monthly maintenance fees, transaction fees, finance charges on delinquent accounts, and event fees. Occasionally the Company will accept a favorable trade ratio in lieu of a cash fee.

Revenue Recognition

All 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.
 
Use of Trade Dollars

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.

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.
 
 
7

 
 
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.
  
NOTE 2 – CASH

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes. As of March 31, 2013, the Company has cash in excess of FDIC insurance of approximately $442,000. No losses have been incurred related to this credit risk exposure.

NOTE 3 – DEBT

In March 2013, the Company issued a $70,000 note payable to a private investor. The terms of the note call for quarterly interest payments at 4% for two years, after which the note is payable in 24 monthly installments of $3,102, including interest at 4%.

In January 2013, the Company retired a note payable to a private individual with a balance $50,000.

The terms of the new note call for quarterly interest payments at 10% for two years, after which the terms of the note will be renegotiated.

In February 2013, the Company modified the terms of a note payable to a private individual with an outstanding balance of $100,000. The new terms include an additional $50,000 in borrowings for a total of $150,000 at 10% interest, quarterly interest payments for two years, and, thereafter, the terms of the note will be renegotiated.

In April, 2013, the following notes were renewed and are included in long term debt at March 31, 2013:

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is occasionally involved in litigation, both as plaintiff and defendant.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CURRENT QUARTER/YEAR TO DATE

Revenue

Revenue decreased 8.7% in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012, as we continue to see the slowing effects of uncertain economic and tax climates. Revenues in 2012 were the highest in 3 years.

Expenses

Operating expenses in the quarter ended March 31, 2013 were $3,178,016, a decrease of $76,590 or 2.4% compared to the first quarter of 2012. This decrease is primarily due to decreased non-employee operating costs as a result of continued review and evaluation of operations.

The Company generated an operating loss of $196,191 for the quarter, compared to operating income $12,173 in 2012.  After adjusting for interest and income taxes, the net loss for the quarter was $146,051 compared to a net loss of $44,883 in the first quarter of 2012.  Interest expense has decreased as the Company has aggressively paid down the debt load taken on strategically to fund the stock buyback program expanded in 2011.

EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

LIQUIDITY, SOURCES OF CAPITAL AND LINES OF CREDIT
 
On March 31, 2013, there was a working capital deficit of $442,094. $147,000 of the deficit relates to future liabilities for time off earned by employees, but not yet taken. This liability would not be paid at one time, but rather over the course of future operations, and at least partially funded by a corresponding reduction in future payroll expense paid.

We believe that current cash needs can be met with the present 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 of approximately $500,000, 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:
 
REVENUE SOURCES AND REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company and its subsidiaries earn revenues in both traditional cash dollars and in IMS trade dollars.

Cash Revenue

Cash income is earned through fees assessed when a member joins, transaction fees generated when clients earn or spend their trade dollars, annual and monthly maintenance fees, finance charges on delinquent accounts receivable, and event fees.

Trade Dollar Revenue

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.

Revenue Recognition

All 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.

Use of Trade Dollars

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.

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.
 
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 and decreased by accounts written off as uncollectable.

GOODWILL AND MEMBERSHIP LISTS

Goodwill and membership lists are stated at cost and arise when IMS acquires another company or the assets of another trade exchange. Membership lists are amortized over the estimated life of ten years.

The Company tests goodwill and intangible assets at least annually for impairment, or when facts and circumstances indicate impairment is probable. 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 three months of 2013.

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.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by COSO, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2013, in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during our third fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
