INTERNATIONAL MONETARY SYSTEMS, LTD.
(Unaudited)
June 30, 2014

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, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The Company's 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed on March 19, 2014, should be read in conjunction with this report.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements for 2014 and 2013 include the accounts of 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.
 
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 June 30,   2014, the Company has cash in excess of FDIC insurance of approximately $423,000. No losses have been incurred related to this credit risk exposure.

NOTE 3 – DEBT

In January 2014, the Company repurchased 96,860 shares of common stock from two private investors by issuing notes payable in the amount of $1,065,460. One note calls for 36 payments of $17,070 including interest at 3%, and 24 payments of $17,487, including interest at 6%. The second note calls for 36 payments of $3,462, including interest at 5%. The shares were placed in treasury.

In January 2014, the Company repaid a note to a private individual in the amount of $57,664. Up to $20,000 of the note was due. A related note in the amount of $242,336 was renewed and is now due in December 2017. Interest only at 7% is payable monthly until January 2015, at which time monthly payments of $10,850 including interest at 7% begin.

The note payable issued by the Company in 2011 in exchange for certain assets of a trade exchange in St. Louis, Missouri contained a clause that called for an adjustment of the final purchase price and note obligation at the time the former owner left employment with IMS. Based on the final calculations associated with this clause, in March 2014, the note obligation and the related discount were reduced by $25,000. The goodwill associated with the transaction was reduced by the same amount.

In April 2014, the Company repurchased 50,610 shares of common stock from a private investor by issuing a note payable in the amount of $632,625. The note calls for payments of interest only at 6% beginning May 10, 2014. Beginning May 10, 2015, the note calls for monthly payments of $19,246, including interest at 6%. The shares were placed in treasury.

In April 2014, a convertible note payable to a director totaling $50,000, due in April 2014, was renewed. The note was then repaid in June, 2014.

In May 2014, a convertible note payable to the CEO in the amount of $20,000 was repaid.
 
In May, 2014, the Company issued a $50,000 note payable to an officer for cash. The terms of the note call for quarterly interest payments at 8% for two years, after which the note is payable in full.
 
The Company’s indebtedness as of June 30, 2014 includes the following:
 
Lines of credit payable to financial institutions, due in 2014
 
$
145,000
 
Convertible notes payable to related parties, mature between 2014 and 2016, $60,000 in 2014

The difference between the combined Federal and state statutory rate and the effective rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 relates to the difference in timing of deduction for certain expenses, primarily bad debts, amortization of acquired membership lists, and depreciation of property and equipment, and the rates at which deferred taxes were originally established.
 
NOTE 6 – CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

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. There are currently no open litigation matters which the Company feels will result in a material loss.

NOTE 7– SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In July 2014, the Company repurchased 600 shares of stock at a cost of T$18,000 (trade dollars) in accordance with the terms of the one remaining outstanding stock guarantee agreement. The repurchased shares were placed in treasury.

HIGHLIGHTS

Operations

The operating loss in the second quarter of 2014 was smaller than past second quarters.

The Company was able to reduce operating costs in the first six months of 2014 through continued review and evaluation.
 
Return to Shareholders

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, 150,484 shares of the Company’s stock have been repurchased under the Company’s stock buyback plan.  

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

Revenue

Revenue decreased 5.0% in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013, as we continue to see the residual affects of uncertain economic and regulatory climates on the Company’s primary members, small businesses.
 
Expenses

Operating expenses in the quarter ended June 30, 2014 were $2,941,340, a decrease of $119,159 or 3.9% compared to the second quarter of 2013. This decrease is primarily due to decreased employee, occupancy and administrative costs as a result of continued review and evaluation of operations.

The Company generated operating income of $145,108 for the quarter, compared to operating income of $186,890 in 2013.  After adjusting for interest and income taxes, there was a net income for the quarter of $36,007 compared to a net income of $88,563 in the second quarter of 2013.  Interest expense has decreased as the Company has replaced debt carrying higher interest rates with lower interest rate debt.

YEAR TO DATE

Revenue

Revenue decreased 5.4% in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013, as we continue to see the residual affects of uncertain economic and tax climates.

Expenses

Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $5,812,535, a decrease of $425,980, or 6.8% compared to the first half of 2013. This decrease is primarily due to decreased employee and administrative costs, as a result of continued review and evaluation of operations.

The Company has generated operating income of $83,109 for year to date, compared to an operating loss of $9,300 in 2013.  After adjusting for interest and income taxes, the net loss for the first six months of 2014 was $7,029 compared to a net loss of $57,488 in the comparable period in 2013.  Interest expense has decreased as the Company has replaced debt carrying higher interest rates with lower interest rate debt.

LIQUIDITY, SOURCES OF CAPITAL AND LINES OF CREDIT
 
On June 30, 2014, there was a working capital deficit of approximately $544,000, compared to a surplus of approximately $90,000 at December 31, 2013. Working capital deficits are not unusual in the first six months of the year due to the somewhat seasonal nature of the business. We believe that current cash needs can be met with the present cash and investments balances and from working capital generated from operations over the next 12 months. Additionally, the Company has letters of credit with various financial institutions with unused borrowing capacity of approximately $400,000, 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 six months of 2014.

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.

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 June 30, 2014, 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
