INTERNATIONAL MONETARY SYSTEMS, LTD.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
September 30, 2008

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 nine month period ended September 30, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2007, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the company's 10KSB/A for the year ended December 31, 2007 and filed on April 2, 2008.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements for 2008 and 2007 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Continental Trade Exchange, Ltd., National Trade Association, Inc. and INLM Holdings, Inc. (from February 1, 2007). Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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.

Earnings Per Share

The computation of earnings per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding at the date of the financial statements. The assumed exercise of 3,020,000 and 3,800,000 stock options and warrants as of September 30, 2008 and 2007 respectively is not included in the diluted loss per share as the effect is anti-dilutive.

Business Segments

The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.

Stock-Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement No. 123R, Share-Based Payment ("SFAS 123R"), which requires companies to measure and recognize compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123R is being applied on the modified prospective basis. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company accounted for its stock-based compensation plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, as provided by SFAS 123. Accounting for Stock based compensation ("SFAS 123") and accordingly, recognized no compensation expense related to the stock-based plans as stock options granted to employees

and directors were equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant. In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 ("SAB 107") relating to SFAS 123R. The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS 123R.

Common stock, stock options and common stock warrants issued to other than employees or directors are recorded on the basis of their fair value, as required by SFAS No. 123(R), which is measured as of the date required by EITF Issue 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.” In accordance with EITF 96-18, the stock options or common stock warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the basis of the market price of the underlying common stock on the “valuation date,” which for options and warrants related to contracts that have substantial disincentives to non-performance is the date of the contract, and for all other contracts is the vesting date. Expense related to the options and warrants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the period over which services are to be received or the vesting period. Where expense must be recognized prior to a valuation date, the expense is computed under the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the basis of the market price of the underlying common stock at the end of the period, and any subsequent changes in the market price of the underlying common stock up through the valuation date is reflected in the expense recorded in the subsequent period in which that change occurs.
 
Foreign Currency Translation

The financial statements of the Company's foreign subsidiary have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation (SFAS 52). All balance sheet accounts have been translated using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Income statement amounts have been translated using an appropriately weighted average exchange rate for the year. The translation gains and losses resulting from the changes in exchange rates during 2008 have been reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, except for gains and losses resulting from the translation of intercompany receivables and payables, which are included in earnings for the period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51”. This statement improves the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards that require: the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent and the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently; when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value; entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 affects those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (SFAS 161). This statement is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments within the scope of SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133), as well as related hedged items, bifurcated derivatives, and nonderivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments. Entities with instruments subject to SFAS 161 must provide more robust qualitative disclosures and expanded quantitative disclosures. SFAS 161 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application permitted. We are currently evaluating the disclosure implications of this statement.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position APB 14-1 (FSP APB 14-1), “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)”, which applies to all convertible debt instruments that have a “net settlement feature”, which means that such convertible debt instruments, by their terms, may be settled either wholly or partially in cash upon conversion. FSP APB 14-1 requires issuers of convertible debt instruments that may be settled wholly or partially in cash upon conversion to separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner reflective of the issuers’ nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is not permitted and retroactive application to all periods presented is required. We continue to evaluate the application of FSP APB 14-1 on our financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and provides entities with a framework for selecting the principles used in preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. The current GAAP hierarchy has been criticized because it is directed to the auditor rather than the entity, it is complex, and it ranks FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts, which are subject to the same level of due process as FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Standards, below industry practices that are widely recognized as generally accepted but that are not subject to due process. The Board believes the GAAP hierarchy should be directed to entities because it is the entity (not its auditors) that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 6, Evaluating Consistency of Financial Statements (AS/6). The adoption of FASB 162 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.” Diversity exists in practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises under FASB Statement No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises. This results in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim liabilities. This Statement requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. This Statement requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. The accounting and disclosure requirements of the Statement will improve the quality of information provided to users of financial statements.  SFAS 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of FASB 163 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

Note 2 - CASH AND EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes. As of September 30, 2008, the Company has cash in excess of FDIC insurance of $597,954. On October 22, 2008, the FDIC insurance was increased to $250,000 from $100,000.

Note 3 - EARNED TRADE ACCOUNT

As part of the operations of the subsidiaries the Company earns trade dollars, which can be and are used to purchase goods and services. This account is increased principally for service, membership and transaction fees, and is decreased by the company's purchases of goods and services using trade dollars. An impairment loss is recognized if it becomes apparent that the fair value of the trade dollars in the account is less than the carrying amount, or if it is probable that the company will not use all of its trade dollars.

Note 4 - REVENUE SOURCES AND REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company and its subsidiaries earn revenues in both traditional dollars (cash income) and in trade dollars. Cash income is earned primarily 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.


 
10

 


 
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.

NOTE 5 - INVENTORY

Inventory consists primarily of jewelry and other merchandise held for sale by the Company. Inventory is carried at the lower of actual cost of acquisition, or fair value.

NOTE 6 – BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

On April 4, 2008, IMS exercised its option to purchase specific assets from New York Commerce Group (NYCG) pursuant to an agreement from September 2006. The final purchase price was set at $405,424.

NOTE 7 – LINES OF CREDIT AND NOTES PAYABLE

As of September 30, 2008 the company has drawn on its credit lines for a net amount of $309,000.

On April 30, 2008 IMS received $200,000 from a private investor in exchange for an interest-only convertible note, at 10% per annum. After two years the note can be converted into 377,358 shares of IMS common stock at $.53 per share, the fair value of the common stock on the date of the note.

On July 29, 2008 IMS received $100,000 from a private investor in exchange for an interest-only convertible note, at 10% per annum. After two years the note can be converted into 250,000 shares of IMS common stock at $.40 per share, the fair value of the common stock on the date of the note.

On September 29, 2008, IMS issued a note payable to a private investor in the amount of $1,200,000. The term of the note is five years using a ten year amortization schedule, at 10% per annum, with monthly payments of $15,858 beginning October 29, 2008. A balloon payment of $746,337 is due on October 29, 2013. The proceeds of this note will be used to retire three notes that had reached maturity, totaling $1,200,000, issued to the same investor.

NOTE 8 - STOCK OPTIONS

The Company adopted an incentive stock option plan under which certain officers, key employees, or prospective employees may purchase shares of the Company's stock at an established exercise price, which shall not be less than the fair market value at the time the option is granted. Final exercise date is any time prior to the five-year anniversary of the first exercise date.

SFAS 123R defines a fair value based method of accounting for employee stock options or similar equity instruments. Under the fair value based method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award using an option-pricing model that takes into account the stock price at the grant date, the exercise price, the expected life of the option, the volatility of the underlying stock, expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate over the expected life of the option. The resulting compensation cost is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

During the quarter ended September 30, 2008, International Monetary Systems processed more than $27 million in trade transactions compared to over $26 million in the third quarter of 2007, an increase of more than 4.5%. The trade volume generated gross revenues of $3,537,840, compared to revenue of $3,563,578 in the third quarter of last year, a slight decrease of .7%.

Total expenses decreased 5.5%, from $3,716,140 in the third quarter of 2007 to $3,511,054 in the current period. The decrease is the result of our efforts to consolidate administrative operations, and to streamline sales and marketing costs by more quickly identifying under-performing elements.

Despite slightly lower revenues, the Company recorded net income from operations of $26,786 in the third quarter of 2008, compared to a loss from operations of $152,562 during the same period last year. After adjusting for interest expense and the income tax benefit, the net loss for the current period was $121,516, a decrease of 9.5% over the loss of $134,232 in the third quarter of 2007.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, International Monetary Systems generated gross revenue of $10,596,113 compared to $10,285,250 last year, an increase of 3.0%.

Total expenses increased from $10,573,326 in the first nine months of 2007 to $11,039,616 for the same period in 2008, an increase of 4.4%. The net loss from operations was $443,503 for the first nine months of 2008, compared to a loss of $288,076 for the same period last year.

The deferred tax benefit represents the adjustment to the deferred tax liability which arises from the differences in basis of acquired membership lists for financial reporting versus tax reporting.

The income tax expense (benefit) consists of:

Liquidity, Sources of Capital and Lines of Credit
 
On September 30, 2008, current assets were $3,258,814, and total assets were $18,103,362. Current liabilities were $3,399,105 and total liabilities were $9,073,204, resulting in total shareholder equity of $9,030,158 and a working capital deficiency of $140,291.

At the end of the third quarter of 2008 the Company's unrestricted cash balance was $408,221 compared to $812,365 on December 31, 2007. Though operations and financing activities generated $310,428 and $61,511, respectively, we used $765,834 in cash for investing activities: $495,000 for business acquisitions, more than $70,000 for equipment purchases, nearly $11,000 for marketable securities and life insurance, and nearly $192,000 to fund restricted cash. Cash also decreased due to a foreign currency translation adjustment of $10,249 from our Canadian operation.

In March 2008, the Company drew $210,000 on a line of credit. $100,000 was used as the down payment on the accelerated acquisition of New York Commerce Group. In June of 2008, $50,000 was paid to reduce the line of credit. In total the Company has borrowed net $309,000 against lines of credit in 2008.

We believe that current cash needs can be met with the current cash balance and from working capital generated over the next 12 months.

 
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 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.

 
17

 


 
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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangibles," which requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives be tested annually for impairment. There was no impairment of goodwill or membership lists in the first nine months of 2008.


INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). Under SFAS 109, 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 SFAS 109, 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

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51”. This statement improves the relevance, comparability, and transparency of the financial information that a reporting entity provides in its consolidated financial statements by establishing accounting and reporting standards that require: the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent and the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income; changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary be accounted for consistently; when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained non-controlling equity investment in the former subsidiary be initially measured at fair value; entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS No. 160 affects those entities that have an outstanding non-controlling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (SFAS 161). This statement is intended to improve transparency in financial reporting by requiring enhanced disclosures of an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities and their effects on the entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments within the scope of SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 133), as well as related hedged items, bifurcated derivatives, and non-derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments. Entities with instruments subject to SFAS 161 must provide more robust qualitative disclosures and expanded quantitative disclosures. SFAS 161 is effective prospectively for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application permitted. We are currently evaluating the disclosure implications of this statement.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position APB 14-1 (FSP APB 14-1), “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)”, which applies to all convertible debt instruments that have a “net settlement feature”, which means that such convertible debt instruments, by their terms, may be settled either wholly or partially in cash upon conversion. FSP APB 14-1 requires issuers of convertible debt instruments that may be settled wholly or partially in cash upon conversion to separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner reflective of the issuers’ nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is not permitted and retroactive application to all periods presented is required. We continue to evaluate the application of FSP APB 14-1 on our financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and provides entities with a framework for selecting the principles used in preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. The current GAAP hierarchy has been criticized because it is directed to the auditor rather than the entity, it is complex, and it ranks FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts, which are subject to the same level of due process as FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Standards, below industry practices that are widely recognized as generally accepted but that are not subject to due process. The Board believes the GAAP hierarchy should be directed to entities because it is the entity (not its auditors) that is responsible for selecting accounting principles for financial statements that are presented in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 6, Evaluating Consistency of Financial Statements (AS/6). The adoption of FASB 162 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60.” Diversity exists in practice in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises under FASB Statement No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises. This results in inconsistencies in the recognition and measurement of claim liabilities. This Statement requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. This Statement requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. The accounting and disclosure requirements of the Statement will improve the quality of information provided to users of financial statements.  SFAS 163 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of FASB 163 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that our disclosure and controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls

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 second quarter of fiscal 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
